The WIFE.-Once let a woman be sure
she is precious to her husband-not use
full, not valuable, not convenient simply,
g but lovely and beloved-let her be the re-
cipient of his polite and hearty attention :;
let her feel that her care and love are no.
ticed, appreciated, and returned; let her
opinion be asked, her approval sought, her
judgment respected in matters with which
she is cognizant; in short, let her only be
loved, honored, cherished, in fulHllment
of the marriage vow, and she will be to
her husband, children and society WE'LL
spring of pleasure. She will bear pain,
and toll, and anxiety, for her husband s
love is to her tower and fortress. Shi-
elded and sheltered within, adversely will
have lost its sting. She may suffer, but
sympathy will dull the edge of sorrow.
A house with love in it-and by love I
mean love expressed in words, and looks.
and deeds for l have not one spark Of
faith in love that never crops out, is to a
house without love, as person to ma.
chine: one is life, the other is mechanism
The unloved woman may have bread Just
as light, house just as tidy as the other ;
but the latter has spring of beauty about
her, joyousness an aggressive, penetra-
tion, and pervading brightness, to which
the former is stranger. The deep han.
.piness in the heart shines out in her face
She CLEANS over it. She is full of devices
and plots, and sweet surprises for her hus.
band and family. She has never done
with the romance and poetry of life. She
herself. is lyric poem, sitting herself tc
all pure and gracious melodies. Humble
household ways and duties have for her Q
golden significance. The prize makes hel
calling high, and the end sanctifies the
means. "Love is heaven, and heaven il

How to Prolong Life.

Cultivate an equal temper; many man
has fallen dead in a fit Of passion.
80 Eat regularly, not over thrice day, and
nothing between meals.
Go.to bed at regular hours. Get up as
soon as you wake Of yourself, and do not
sleep in the day time, at least not longer
! than ten minutes before noon.
Never cat when you are not hungry nor
drink when you are not thirsty.
Cool of in place warmer than the one
lin which you-have been exercising; this
simple rule would prevent millions oflives
in year.
Never resist call of nature for single
minute.
Never allow yourself to be chilled through
and through; it is this which destroys SO
many every year in q few days sickness,
from pneumonia, called by some the luug
fever, or inflammation of the lungs.
Whoever drinks no liquids at his meal
will add years Of pleasurable existence to
his life. Of cold or warm drinks-drink-
ing at meals induces persons to eat more
than they otherwise would as any one can
verify by experiment; and it is excess of
eating which devastates the land with sick
ness. suffering and death.
After fifty years of age, if not day la
borer, and sedentary persons after forty,
should eat but twice day-in the morn
ing and about four in the afternoon; per-
sons can soon accustom themselves to five
hour interval between eating, thus giving
the stomach rest, for every organ without
adequate rest must give way prematurely.
Begin early to live under the benign in
huences of the Christian religion, for it has
the promise Of the life that now is, and of
that which is to come.-Haps Journal of

TIRED OF IA Marylander of Kent
county, is tired of the present system of
farming. He. talks thus in one Of our ex-
changes:
1t is becoming serious question whet-
her our whole system of agriculture does
not need reconstruction. We buy fertili-
zers to raise wheat, and the wheat does
not pay for the fertilizers; we buy boxes
to ship peaches, and the peaches do not
pay for the boxes and to wind up, we
raise all the corn we can, and feed it to a
herd of hungry swine, and eat bacon till
the liver is torpid, and then the doctor
steps in to take what little may be left. 1
doubt very seriously whether single far
mer in all Kent comfy can exhibit the
figures to show how much any fertilizer
has paid him above his ordinary crop or
show conclusively that the increased yield
has paid for the fertilizer, unless it may
be in lime, bone dust, or ashes which per-
manenty benefit the soil. { g =
