Entertainment should not be devoted to
What is luxurious, but to what is COM
Portable and ennobling. The first of all
things is that he should be an affection
ate, indeed loving, host, so that every
one of his guests Should feel that he is
really welcome. He should press them
10 stay but should he careful that this
pressing does not interfere with their
convenience, so that they stay merely
20 Oblige him, and not to please them
selves.
Wife.-Yes, obey all reasonable de-
mands Of your husband without sulki-
ness, if they do not conflict with your
sense of honor or duty. In this way
you Will eventually tame him, if he is
not a brute. A woman can whip a man
with kindness, when sulkiness, or snap
pishness would only rouse the devil in
him. Try it.
George.-What paper would we re-
commend? The CITIZEN. 1t is the du-
~ of every man to take his county pa
per first, and then others if he wants to.
Any one who already pays for the CIT
ZEN can get our opinion as to the next
best paper to take; but every man, wo-
man and child ought not only to give
his county paper the preference, but re-
gard it as "a matter of personal duty,
prompted by county and town pride, to
uphold and sustain his home paper-pay
for it and urge others to do so.
James.--We will furnish stationery,
stamps, and copy of the CITIZEN to any
competent person at each pOst-office in
the county who wiz agree TO furnish us
with items of news,-incidents, acct
dents and local occurrences each week.
We want news, though-not essays, or
narrative, or poetry, or biographies, or
obituaries, or business pulls.
Wife, am the wife OF an inebTiate.
He is not mean, but contributes little or
nothing to our support. We once had a
home, but it is gone now for drink.

deserve a better husband, one who is
sober, industrious-and indulgent. But
whatever you do, don't lose your IA
thence. You deserve great credit for
your course so far. If you can't dis
suade him from drinking by afiectiOnate
appeals and prayer, you can never do 1t
by harsh words, or threats or abuse, or
Impotence. Persist in your present
treatment, and if you fail, there is no
alternative but an asylum for inebriates.
Drunkenness is n disease. 1t can be
cured by treatment. We can give you
the address of q private asylum, when
necessary, to which some of our most
distinguished Tennesseeans have gone
voluntarily tor relief and obtained it. 1t
is a great institution. 1t is surprising
that all inebriates do not seek it. There
ought to be such an asylum in every
State - fostercd by phylanthrOplsts.
The Good Templars or the United
Friends might give practical turn to
their philanthropy in this field and
call down the blessings of IIeayen upon
them through the prayers of reformed
inebriates and their happy wives and
children.

Thanks to you, most noble woman.
Advertising is a blister which draws
trade.
They who make the most noise about
their wares have generally the best
things to sell.
Common wheat flour made into paste
with cold water, applied dry, will take
out grease spots without injuring the
most delicate fabric.

he hadn't got drunk.
Some one suggests that more seats
should be placed in the yestibule Of
churches for the benefit of young men
who come to walk home with the young
ladies, without wishing to attend divine
service themselves.
Johnny, where is your pa?"
Gone fishing, sir
He was fishing yesterday, was he
not?"
''Nes, sir"
''What did he catch ?"
"One catfish, the rheumatism, two
cells, the toothache and some little ones.
Ma says he'll catch h-ll tonight; just

editor, "that we are red-headed and

those overgrown rural ROSTERS in a ball
room reaches down for our head and
suggests that some fellow has lost q

"Come, Johnny, the ice man has been
around and it is time you had our piece

seems the boy addressed had performed
this same duty the morning before and
