that the Senatorial Convention is call.
ed too early. The object in making
the call thus early was to save the time
and expense of second convention.
Nothing is lost, however, since the con.

Convention, and then adjourn, and
nominate candidate for senator at an
adjourned meeting.

'sNicer than WISE"

When visiting at Aunt Fanny's, few
days ago, this thought came to my mind:
"She is nicer than wise" And this was
what made me think Aunt Fanny nicer
than wise:" She had lady visitor from
the CITY. (Aunt lived in the country, and
was counted the best housekeeper in the
neighborhood) This friend from the city
was also number-one housekeeper, so
Aunt did her prettiest that day and got up
a dinner "ft to set before.the king" and
am sure we all did justice to her good
dinner, if not to ourselves. Aunt has
large family, and some had to wait until
the second table. After the big folks had
eaten dinner, while it was smoking hot,
and sat and talked half an hour, then
came the little folks to get what was left,
and cold. But they soon had their dinner
eaten for Biddie was hurrying them up
so she could wash the dishes. Emma and
Ada, the girls, sat down to eat, and Willie,
who had been helping his pa fan wheat all
the morning, came bouncing into the din
ing-room fer his share Aunt came in
lust then. She said mo, Willie, don't
YOU sit down there and rub that dirty coat
Sleeve all over my clean table-cloth; take
your plate in the kitchen at that table.
Biddie, give him some victuals."
Now, think that was too bad Willie
should have had his dinner from the clean
tahlezcloth as well as the girls; but am
afraid Aunt thought more of her clean
table-cloth than Willie's feelings when she
sent him away. She was little nicer
than wise" that time What if he did soil
the snowy white table-cloth? What are
they made for, if not to eat off OF? We
can make them white again, when soap
and water are plenty, for the comfort OF
the boys. Yes, let them get the good OF
them as we'll az the girls. / do believe
some mothers think their boys are hard
hearted and that it don't make any diff
ference what you say to them; they don't
mind it; but if they don't seem to at the
time, little by-httle it makes difference
with them, even ifyou don't see it. have
been in families where the mother was
constantly reproving her son for something.
For my part could not see any thing to
reprove him for.
Dear mother, don't keep your house SO
over-nice your son cannot be at ease the
little time he is in it, but rejoice to see the
sunny days come when he can be out doors,
out of mothers way, and won't muddy the
clean floor. What if he did get the floor
a little muddy, better let him do it, if that
will make him love the dear old home any
more. For, mothers, you can't do too
much to make your boys happy at home.
If it does cost something now, you will be
more than paid by-and-by, when they are
older, and home attractions keep them out
of bad company Don't be " nicer than
wise," dear mother.-RuraI Neo Yorker.
