LITERARY.
Not for sale In Book or .rsws stores.

THE ALDINE, while issued with all the
regularity, has none of the temporary or timely
interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals.
1t is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and
graceful literature, and a collection of pic
lures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in
black and white. Although each succeeding
number affords fresh pleasure to its friends,
the real value and beauty of The Aldine will
be most appreciated after it has been bound
up at the close of the year. While other pub
pared with rivals of a similar class, The Aldine
is unique and original onception-alone and
unapproached - absolutely without competi-

THE UNIVERSAL VERDICT:
'' The Wheeler e. Wilson Sewing Ma

These unequalled Machines do all the differ

other Machines.

d WILSON SEWING MACHINES before purchas-
ing any other.
The WHEELER & WILSON, as is we'll known,
has won,, at nearly, every trial in which it has
competed, the highest award of merit. The
representatives of other machines, ever conf
dent, have, entered the lists, time and again,
only to be defeated and finding it impossible
the value of Premiums. They are not slow,
however, to boast of the few they have received.
But in the grand trial, daily use throughout
the world, where only true merit finds favor,
and superiority wins the race, the WHEELER e
WILSON SEWING MACHINE stands triumphantly
the Champion by the verdict of the people.

The Wife.

Only let a woman be sure she is
precious to her husband, not useful,
not valuable, not convenient simpl y,
but lovely and beloved let her feel
that her cares and love are noticed,
appreciated and returned her opinion
asked, her approval sought, and her
Judgment respected in matters Of
which she is cognizant; in short, let
her only be loved, honored and cher
ished, in the fulillment Of the mar,
riage vow, and she will be to her hus-
band, her children and society, we'll
spring of happiness. She will bear

Economy.

One of the hardest lessons in life
for young people to learn is to practice
economy. 1t is harder duty for
young man to accumulate and save
his first thousand dollars than his
next ten thousand. A man can ba e.
economical without being mean, and it
is one of his most solemn duties to
lay up sufficient in his days Of strength
aud prosperity to provide for himself
and those who are or may be depen-
dent upon him in days OF sickness or
misfortune. Extravagance is one of
the greatest evils of the present age.
1t is undermining and overturning
the loftiest and best principles tnat
should be retained and held sacred in
society, 1t is annually sending thous-
ands of young men and young women
to run and misfortune.
Cultivate, then, sober and industri
Gus habits; acquire the art of putting
a little aside every day for your future
necessities avoid all unnecessary and
foolish expenditures Spend your
time only in such a manner as shall
bring you profit and enjoyment. and
yonr money for such things as you ac-
tually need for your comfort and hap
piness, and you will prosper in your
lives your business, and will win and
retain the respect and homer Of all wor
thy and substantial people.-O'v Fire

We have said that the quack often

and the true physician should make it
a study how he may utilize the same

working against him, neutralizizes

The Minds Influence on the Body.

1t was remark of John Hunter
that "there is not natural action OF
the body, whether voluntary or in
voluntary, that may not be influenced
by the peculiar state of the mind at
the time;" but the idea was by no
means original with him. The in.
tluence of the mind over the body, for
good or evil, had been recognized
long before his day. An old English
physician, several centuries earlier,
had laid it down as a rule in thera-
peutics that if the sick man is to be
cured she must be of good cheer, and
have sure hope that his physician can
help him" And mach further back
in the history of medicine Galen had
taught that "confdence and hope do
more good than physic;' and wonder
full stories Of the healing power of
faith were also told by Greek writers
hundreds of years before Galen was
born. 1t is recorded of one Axiochus,
for instance, that when he had been
given up by the doctors and was at
the very gates of the grave he was
restored to health by the mere sight
of Iippocrates. Paracelsus, indeed,
insisted that it was the sight of medi-
cine effected all his cures. Physi
cans in all ages have recognized this
principle, and it has been generally ac-
knowledged that the practitioner who
inspires most confidence will, other
things being equal, be the most sue
cessful. The medicatrir nature, which
is often the best of physicians, finds
hope most powerful allay, while, on
the other hand, its worst enemies are
fear and depression of spirit.
DR.. Tuke, in his "lllustration of the
Influence of the Mind upon the Body
in Health and Disease" gives many
striking instances Of this mental
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1874-04-16

The Honest Man Who Pays.
A DllTY FOR THE TIMES.

~ III IoIs lIlE llhENs
There is one among the many,
Can you tell mo where he staysf
He's an odd, old-fashioned party,
Called the honest man who pays
Yes--the honest man who pays
Every dollar he may owe,
Keeping up the good old ways
That so many scarcely know.
If he gives his word Of promise
'Tis bond as good as gold
If he hold post of honor.
Not trust is ever sold
BY the honest man who pays
Every debt he may incur,
Yielding each a just reward,
And no grlldging or demur.
And I'm told this rare old party
Lives-within his income, won
BY the fairest, squarost dealing
We see beneath this sun
And the honest man who pays
Always holds it good and right,
For the rich to help the needy
When the times are tough and tight
