sPANGLE AS A FATHER.

We have six children, all beautiful and
good. Spangle takes great pride in them,
loves them and growls anthem, like a dear
old bear. You must moi think that Spangle
regards the 'nev corners" as burdens. Quite
the reverse. He goes into ecstacies over
each one; dilates upon it's beauties and per-
fections for five minutes, and then seems to
think it ought to be laid away to grow up,
and be no further trouble to him until they
want to marry. IF one Of them has an ache
and cries at night, Spangle thinks that the
pain is special hardship to him, because it
keeps him awake few minutes. The fact is
undeniable that the best men are selfish brutes
so far as babies are concerned. it,
sPANGLE AT HOME. sd, 5.
I will say, though, of all the children |
have, Spangle is the biggest baby IT'S true
he was through with most of the ailments I
have enumerated before got him, but in a
thousand other respects he still is, and always
will remain in that chronic state of baby
hood which ever attends over-indulged and
spoiled husbands. When we were first mar
ried my old baby would almost break his
back to pick up my fan, and he would kill a
fly in a,minute if the fly manifested a dispo-
.stion to alight on my pose. ..s,-.e...,... -...

der the bureau, the other under the bed. sii
II always have to find his cravat. If go
to bed first, in the morning find his clothes
scattered over the room, as only man can
scatter clothes. He would never put on a
clean shirt if it were not spread out on
chair before him. His sleeve buttons are
taken out and put in by me, when taken out
and put in at all. do not believe that he has
combed his own head since we were married. |
He can't even wash his face properly without
being told, like any, other child IF [ did |
not wash him, his ears and the back OF his
neck would be a sight to behold, a

Albeit he has no patience for others who

good crops you must begin by sowing good
seed 1t is poor economy for a farmer to
SOW or plant anything but the purest and
best seed, merely because he has a poor ar

Crops will degenerate more or less by con-
tinuing to SOW Or plant for a long series of
years, seed which has been grown from pre-
ceding crops from the same farm, or even in
the same neighborhood. The general opin-
ion with practical men is, that seed taken
from a more Northern to more Southern
climate will do better, mature earlier, and
consequently be sooner out Of the way of its
enemies.
When you have even good seed of your
own and can get better by paying an extra
price for it get the better. Do not be salts

THE REALITIES OF LIFE.

And then came all the realities of life. It
is my belief that this is the most trying pc
rod Of woman's life. However kind and
attentive her husband may be, a young wife
when she enters upon the actualities Of life,
has disclosed to her state Of facts Of which
she has little or no conception before marriage
When she leaves an atmosphere Of romance
and adulation and enters upon the realities of
life It's like stepping out Of a garden Of
summer flowers into the regions Of perpetual
winter, and unless she brings all Of her good
sense ard philosophy to her aid, her affections
will become chilled and she will regard her.

old story ever recurring, ever sweety told,
