these frauds investigated number OF
times but failed. When Boutwell,
became secretary of the treasury PEN
der informed him of theseIfrauds, and

stating he had been appointed de-
tective by Secretary Boutwell, to
work up these frauds and wanted all

Wornan's Nature.

Some wives are not happy who appar-
emily have good husbands. They have
married men who are sober, industrious,
economical, good providers, and who
are respected and esteemed by their
neighbors as good citizens. Where,
then. is the trouble? These men do
not understand woman's nature. She
is emphatically emotional. Her affec-
tions are very strong. 1t is said that
love is only a part OF mans nature, but
it is a woman's life. She is not willing
to take anything for granted. Do not,
then, be chary Of affections language.
Tell her you love her, and show her by
YOUR every act that you mean what you
say. II there comes q bright, pleasant
afternoon, go to the house and take her
with you on a buggy ride; no matter if
you are busy planting corn, you can get
a man to work all the afternoon for fifty
cents. Talk to her of old times; let her
see that you live to make her happy
that she holds the first place in your af-
fections. Praise her attempts to please
you. Let her see that her efforts are
appreciated; and when the ride is over,
and you note the sparkling eye, the
elastic step, and the bright, happy
smile, you will feel more than repaid;
and one thing more let me tell you.
Such rides and such treatment are won
derfully potent to keep the doctor-aye,
more, the undertaker-frOm your door,
Remember, then, always, that happi-
ness is a preventive of disease. Does
your wife love flowers? Then give
her what ground she wants; give it free
ly, as her right. Assist her when you
can. Try to sympathize with her
tastes. Consult her on all important
subjects. Does she love music? Then
get her an organ or piano, even if it be
at the expense of great self-denial.
Does she love literature? Then get her
books and papers. Crafty her tastes.
Let her cultivate her mind-'tis immor-
tai. Let men and women both cultivate
and develop their finer qualities. There
is something in this life better worth
living for than mere dollars and cents.
In the world beyond there is eternal
progress toward perfection, and the
more we develop and cultivate the i'm
mortal mind here, the higher will be
our rank and position in the world to
