The Southwest Floods haye been
very destructive. Towns have been
submerged, plantations utterly destroyed
and many persons rendered homeless.
The waters were out in the Ouchita
and Red rivers, the Cumberland, Stone
and Duck, the Tennessee and the Mis-.
sissippi. The latter of course is the
most dangerous. Around New Or
leans whole parishes are under water
and the submered region nearly encir-
cles the city. The water in some of
the bottom lands is over TWENTY-FIVE
feet deep, and boats are being used IN
unwonted directions. Some of the
railways whose lines have been broken
are preparing to use steamers to make
connections.

What Men need Wives for.

What does man need a wife for9
1t Is not merely to sweep the house,
and make the beds, and darn the sock
and cook the meals, chiefly that man
wants wife. If this is all, when a
young man calls to see lady send him
INTO the pantry to taste the bread and
cake she has made; send him in to
inspect the needlework, and bed max
ing; or put broom into her hand, and
seud him to witness its use. Such
things are important, and the wise
young man will quietly look after them
But what the true man wants next Of a
wife IS her companionship, sympathy
and love. The way of life has MANY
dreary places in it, and man needs a
companion to go with him. A man is
sometimes overtaken with misfortunes.
he meets with failure and defeat; trials
and temptations beset him, and he
needs one to stand by and sympathize.
He has some stern battles to fight with
poverty, with enemies, and with sin,
and he needs a woman, who, while he
puts his arm around her and feels that
he has something to fight for, will help
him fight; who will put her lips to his
ear and whisper words Of counsel, and
her hand tc his heart and impart new
inspirations. All through life, through
storm and through sunshine conflict
and victory, through adverse and
favoring winds, man needs woman s
love, the heart yearns for it. Yet

Justice and Mercy.


No obligation of justice does force a
man to be cruel or to sue the sharpest
sentence. a just man does justice to
every man in everything: and then, if
he be also wise, he knows there is a
doubt of mercy and compassion due to
the infrmities of mans nature. and that
it is to be paid; and he that is cruel and
ungentle to a single person, and does
the worst to him dies in his debt and
is unjust. Pity and forbearance, and
long suffering and fair Interpretation,
and excusing our brother, and taking
in the best sense, and passing the
gentlest sentence, are as certainly our
duty, and owing to every duty that
does offend and can repent, as calling
to account can be owing to the law,
and are first to be paid, and he that
does not is an unjust person.
