gathered, he may not be ousted from
possession.
While things continue in this state,
Southern industry cannot revive. The
West loses its best market; the East
loses profitable field for the invest
men. OF capital; the Government loses
the revenue which might be collected
from prosperous community. When
the South is impoverished and the
West unprosperous, how is employ
ment to be found for the hundreds Of
thousands Of meu throw loose by the
cessation Of the war? Before we can
employ the surplus laborers we shall
presently have on our hands, we must
see a prospect of markets. No sound
business man will manufacture for the
Southern market until he sees chance
that the South will be able to pay for
goods; nor manufacture largely for the
West till he sees a possibility of the
West finding a market for its pork and
grain. The chief thing to be done
now, at this present time, is for the
GovernmentAto render it possible for
capital to flow into the South to revive

Praise your Wife.

Praise your wife, man-for PHYS

it won't hurt her. She has made your
home comfortable, your hearth bright
and shining, your food agreeable; for
PHYS sake tell her you thank her, if
nothing more. She don't expect il;
it will make her eyes open wider than
they have for these ten years; but it
will do her good lor all that, and you,
too.
There are many women to-day
thirsting for tho word of praise, the
language Of encouragement. Through
summers heat and winters toll they
have drudged uncomplainingly, and so
accustomed have their fathers, brothers
and husbands become to their monoto-
nous labors: that they look for and
upon them as they do to the daily
rising of the sun and its daily going
down. Homely every day life may BE-
made beautiful by an appreciation of
its very homeliness. You know that
if you can take from your drawer a
clean shirt whenever you want it,
somebody's fingers have ached in the

thing that pleases the eye and sense,
has been produced by constant work,

gratitude for the numberless attentions
bestowed upon them in sickness and

HOUSES OF THE ENoL1sH IN INDIA.
A letter from Bombay has the fol-
lowing concerning the houses of the
English there: We have no bells, no
door locks, no carpets, curtains, chin.
ney pieces, fire. places, no passages or
stairs, no house door, no servants hall
though about twenty servants-no
gas, 40 house maids, laundry-rnaids,
dairy-maid, etc, etc. I could give you
a still longer list Of etcetcras; but. lest
you should think your correspondent
has lapsed into savage life, I must pro-
ceed to explain how all these are
made up for.
Instead of bells, we use our own
e ,od voices; and there are so many
servants that one is sure to turn up as
wo call out Roy! we'll known,sound
to Indian houses. Roy corresponds to
the French garcoa, and is very pro-
baby answered by boy of three
score and ten. Intead of door.locks.
there arc bolts, and sometimes only
hooks and eyes. AS the doors do not
shut very close with these, it is
convenient for letting cut the musk
rats, as [ found last night in nv room.
Our feet are too hot already, without
carpets; mats do much better. Every
thing hung on the walls is refuge for
mosquitoes, so curtains are superfluous,
except, OF course, mosquito curtains,
without which we should be eaten up
bodily. 1t would be dreadful to
think Of blazing hearth or a warm
tire-side here; so CRATES, chimneys,
chimney pieces, and fire screens are
unknown in Bombay.
Just look at the plan of the house,
and you can see how we do without
a house-door, remembering that
ver2anda runs before the house, and
there is always man sitting in it
dong nothing, whose duty it is to
announce visitors. Instead Of pass.

like many other good house here, has
no second floor, so there are no stairs.

sorts OF men; it is very we'll done, too,
and not like John, who succeeded so
