Praise your Wife

Praise your Wife
Praise your wife, man; for pity sake Civ
her little encoursgeme en- ent; it won't hur
her, she made home comfortable, you
health bright and shining, your food agree
sble-for PHYS sake tell her you thank her
| it nothing else. She don't expect it will
make her eyes open wider these ten year
but it will do her good for all that and you
| too.
There are many women to-day thirstine
! for the words of praise, the language for en-
enlargement. Through summers heal
| through winters cold, have drudged I'm
compiainingly and so accustomed have their
faith erS brothers and husbands become to
their monotonous iabors that they look for
and upon them as they do the daily rising
of the sun and its daily going down. Home
every day may be made beautiful by an ap
probation of its holiness. You know that,
If the floor is clean, manual labor has been
performed to make it so. You know if you
can take from your drawer a clean shirt
whenever you want it. that mebody's fin
gers have ached in the toll of making it so
fresh and agreeable, SO smooth and lustrous
Everything that pleases the eye and the
sense has been produced by constant work
much thought, great care, and untiring eff
forts bodily and mentally.
1t is not that many men do not appreci-
ate these things and a glow of gratitude for
the number less attentions bestowed upon
them in sickness and in health, but they
don't come out with hearty. Why, how
pleasant you make things look, wife! Or am
obliged to you for taking so much pains!-
They thank the tailor for giving them fits,
they thank a man in full omnibus who
gives them a seat, they thank a young lady
who moves about in the concert r0om-in
short, they thank everything out of doors,
because it is the custom, and come home,
tip their chair back and their heels up, pull
out the newspaper, grumole if their wife
asks them to take the baby, scold if the
fire has gone down, or if everything is just
right, shut their mouths with a smack OF
satisfaction, but never say, thank you.
tell you what men, young and old, if
you did but show an ordinary ciVility to-
ward the comm N articles Of housekeeping,
your wives, if you would give them the
hundreth aud sixteenth part OF the compli-
ments you almost choked them with be-
fore you were married., fewer women would
seek for other sources Of affection. Praise
your wife then for all the good qualities she
has and you may rest assured that her de-
fcencies are fully counterbalauced by our
own.
Tom WOODS ON MUSLIN Tom Woods
of the Ohio Patriot always writes to some
purpose. Hear him:
MUSLIN.
There has been considerable joking upon
the words raising of muslin but it has now
got so high that those words are about
played out aud people who don't want to
whtewash and go max ed. will be compel
led to raise something else. Unbleached
muslin are selling at 75 cents in New York
During the latter part of last week there
was a grand rush at the stores for cotton
goods, in the fear that there might be still
more extravagant advances. 1t will not be
long till it will take poor man two days
work to get a yard of muslin. By this
time the brains o. the people should begin
to act. They were paralysed for a while,
but time enough has elapsed for the think
ing substance to recover. Under the old
Democratic rule everything was cheap and
times were prosperous. War is the cause of
hard times aud nigh prices. Stop the war,
blot out debt and in two years Democracy
can bring back prosperity. II you want
shirts, vote the Democrat ticket. Ii you
dou't vote right, you will show you shift
less fellow, and your wife will bs pretty
much in the same fix.
