Hints to Husbands.

When man has established home,
has wife and children, the most m
portant duties of life have fairly be-
gun. The errors of youth may be
obliterated, the faults of bis early
youth may be overlooked, but from
the moment Of his marriage he COM
mences to write an iDeffaceable his
tory, not by pes and INK, but by deeds
by which he must ever afterwards be
reported and judged.
His conduct at home, his care for
his family, the training of his chill
dren, his attentions to his wife. his
devotion to the great interests of eter-
nity--these are the tests by which
his characte: will ever afterwards be
estimated by every one who thinks OF
cares about him.
These will determine his position
while living, and influence his mem
ory when the grave has closed over
him; and as be uses well or i'll the
brief space allotted to him, out Of all
eternity, to establish fame founded
upon the most sound foundations
private worth-so will God and man
judge Of him. He holds in his hands
the private veal or woe of wife and
children, and if be abuses the most
holy, God-given trust he cannot hope
for mercy hereafter. Many a child
goes astray simply because home
I lacks sunshine. Many q wife es.
teens death her best friend because
he who swore before God to Glove
honor and cherish" her has forgotten
his yows.

Concealed Weapons.

The habit of many young men Of
carrying concealed weapons cannot
be to severely condemned. In a city
or State where law and order are sup
posed to prevail, and where no mans
life is in danger. it is iuexcusable.
This is not a community of border
ruffians. The Indians do not lurk in
every bush; bands of assassins and
robbers do not roam at will up and
down the streets; there is no reVolu-
ton going on; crowds of infuriated
men aud women with human heads
on their bloody pike-staffs do rot
howl and rave through the Streets
Then where is the necessity Of civil
lied young men carrying knives and
pistols as if their lives were all threat
ened and they were liable to be at
tackled at any moment, and were
therefore armed and determined TO
sell their lives as dearly as possible {?
Let US hope that, in spite of the car
rying of deadly weapons by ot-head-
ed, thoughtless youths. who immag-
ine themselves terror to every body.
we are not yet in a state of seige nor
given over to rowdyism completely.

Ahltbis beautiful world / Ikno,

All this beautiful world know
not what to think of it. Sometimes
it is ell sunshine and gladness. and
heaven itself lies not far off, and then
it suddenly changes, and it is dark

dest of US there are bright days like
this. when we feel as though we could
