THE UNsATIsFIED WIFE.

Temple Brent was good husband
So people said, and so he thought. He
saw carefully that his house was kept
well repaired, and well furnished. Ev-
erything for his wife's convenience was
promptly done, and she never had to
tease for money for anything she or the
children needed. Temple Brent was
not the man to give his wife, grudglng-
ly, fifty cents one day, and ask her for
the change the next. He did not ike it,
(hear! hear y if he found that Mrs.
Brent was hesitating to ask for money
to buy any thing she wanted. Take
note, her wants were always reasonable
ones. With such a husband as this, how
came it that Mrs. Brent's face was
sad, unsatistied one? Surely she must
have had very unhappy disposition.
Wait a minute. Mr.. Brent was one of
those cold, calm, stern-yes grim, right
eous souls who regard all affectionate-
ness of word and act as foolish aid M
becoming; except in and toward chill

did love her, (he used to look as though
he did before he married her. and some
times she would set the same expression
in his clear gray eyes, even years after
wards,) never had he uttered, 81 love
you," in his life Scarcely did he ever
kiss her, unless going from, or return
ing home. There was seldom any ten
derness in his voice, unless when she
was sick in bed. Poor soul l.! she would
have been willing to be so all her days
to have him as he was one day when he
thought she was going co die. Once

in tones almost of anger, he said.

Poor little Mrs. Brent; she blushed
painfully and crept away and cried her.

from its cradle and fondled that. and it
returned all her caresses. But was her
heart satisfied? Well, she has gone now

She died one day, at evening, and over
her still, cold form, Mr.. Brent was heard
to say-(did she hear him even then !?
perhaps so,)-"O Mary! Mary! true

Whether she heard or not, she now
looks sad no more, her soul at last is
satisfied.

HOT SUMMER

French scientific men predicted that
the summer of 1867 would be cold and
wet, like that of 1866, and they based
the prediction on the fact that i'm nense
masses of ice have broken away from
the extreme North, and will melt, pro-
ducing cold and vapOr. In the year,
1882 the earth opened, and rivers and
springs disappeared in Alsace. The
Rhine was dried up. In 1152, the heat
was so great that eggs were cooked in
the sand. In 1l60 1t the battle of Bella,
Il great number of soldiers died from
heat. In 1916 and 1877, in France, an
absolute failure of the crops of grass
and oats occurred. In 1903 and 1904.
the Seine, the Loire, the Rhine, the
Danube, were passed over dry-footed.
In 1893 IND 1894 great numbers of ami
mails fell dead, and the crops were
scorched up. In 1440 the heat was eX-
cessive. In 1888, 1880, 1910 and l54l,
the rivers was almost dried up. In 15-
sc there was great drought all over
Europe. In 1915 and 1916 the heat was
overwhelming in France, Italy and the
Netherlands. iu 1916 there were fifty
eight consecutive days of excessive
heat. The same was the case in the
first three years of the eighteenth CEN
tury. In 172S 1t did not rain once from
the month of April to the month of Oc-
tober The crops were burned up, and
the theatres were closed by the decree
of the Lieutenant of police. The ther-
mometer marked &c degrees Reaumer
(ll3 of Fahrenheit.) In gardens which
were watered, fruit trees flowered
twice. In 1922 and l724 the heat was
extreme. In 1747 the summer was very
hot and dry, which absolutely calcined
the crops. During seven months no
rain fell. In 174S, 1854, 1910, 1778 and
1883, the heat WAS excessive. In 1914,
the year of the celebrated comet, the
summer was very warm and the grape
vines parchcd at Lusener. In 1918 the
theatres in France and Great Britain
remained closed for nearly month,
owing to the heat. In 1886, the Seine
was almost dried up. In 1850, in the
month of June, on the second appear
ance of the cholera, the thermometer
marked % degrees centigrade. The
highest, temperature which man can
support for a certain time. varies 40 to
45 degrees Q04 to 113 Fahrenheit.)-
Frequent accidents occur, however, at
a less elevated temperature.

When parties get married, says an
exchange, and the groom is paying the
parson his fee, if he should forget to
hand him dollar to pay for setting up
a notice of the event in the paper, the

and do the first duty of her married life
by insisting that they commence their

Negro Suffrage Irreyersible.

IRON The ~. y Commercial A AdUeTtiser
The policy of enfranchising the Southern
blacks is being vindicated more speedily and
effectively than its most sangune supporters
could Lave anticipated. Accounts from South
Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, and, in fact, all
the Southern States, represent that the negroes
are much better treated than ever before, and
that the planters and politicians spare no
pains to conciliate them, in order to obtain
their votes for the defeat of the radicals. Now,
it was always one of the most effective argu-
ments i'll favor of negro franchise that it was
necessary as protection to the black race. 1t
was desirable, if not necessary, to give the
blacks political power. in order to render them
secure in their newl acquired privilege of
emancipation.
Since the Democrats carried the Mississippi
election by the aid of black votes, there has
been wonderful abatement in Southern con-
tempt for free negroes and black voters. The
freedmen are flattered, if not cajoled, for their
votes, and barbecues, the especial delight of
the negro heart, are the order of the day. The
objections against negro suffrage are lost sight
of in the anxiety to catch the negro vote.
The Southern whites have found out that
the negroes can be used as instruments of their
ambition, and this fact may be regarded as
constituting an irreversible guarantee for negro
suffrage at first, and other privileges in due
time. 1t is doubtful whether even Frank Blair,
were he greater than he is ever likely to be,
could roll back accomplished events in the
South, and take the franchise from the ne
groes. Powerful parties will always exist in
the South, to which the negro vote will be
necessary.
This fact is great triumph for the Repub-
icans, even though they should lose every
Southern State. Their work will remain be-
hind them to be perpetuated and improved
upon by the very men who were formerly its
most bitter opponents. Even if the recon-
structed Governments in the South should be
overthrown by the issue of the Presidential
campaign, negre suffrage will remain to
modify and mould the future destinies of
that section.
