deal of domestic happiness IN well

beauty, tired of music. are often too
wearied for conversation, however
intellectual, but they can appreciate
well swept hearth and smiling
comfort. A woman may love her
husband devotedly-may sacrifice
fortune, friends, family, country for
him-she may have the genius of a

an Armida; but-melancholy fact
if with these she fail to make her

inevitably escape her. And women
live so entirely in the affections that
without love their existence is q
void. Better submit, then to house

Yourself to loveless home. Women

Gettin & Rich.

r Nothing is easier than to grow
rich. It is only to trust no body,
to befsiend none, to get everything
and save all yoa can get, to stint
ourselves and everybody belonging
to US, to be the friend of no man
and have no man for your friend,
to heap interest upon interest, cent
upon cent; to be mean, miserable
and despised, for some twenty or
thirty years, and riches will come as
sure as a disease and dIsappoint
ment. And when pretty nearly
enough wealth is collected by a dis
of all the charities of the
human heart and at the expense of
every enjoyment save that of wal
lowing in filthy meanness, death
comes to finish the work: the body
is buried in 81 hole, the heirs. dance
over it and the spirit goes-where?

From the COlum bia District Directory
Our Blind Preacher.

At the late Conference Love feast
that dear, good man, the Rev. r. O..
Irvine, made a talk which moved to
tears many, if not most of that i'm
mense audience.
During a ministry of more than
thirty years he had preached with
much interest ard emphasis these
two doctrines,-The Special Provi-
dence of God, and The An-sufli-
cheney of Divine grace. Bus never
did he believe them more fully and
firmly than now. Even in his blind
ness,
"A Brorideace he sees, whose wondrous plan
Is broad, eneircling all the wants of man "
1t is God seeing before US, and
seeing for us; God, who cares for
us, aud bids us cast our care upon
Him. While he feels and confess
.es that he is unworthy the notice
of the All-sceing Eye, still he is
persuaded that all his interests are
under the care and control of the
Infinite Father, and that all things,
whether prosperous or adverse, Joy
Gus or grlevous, shall work together
for his good. Hence his resigna
ton to the will Divine. If the way
of blindness be the best way to
heaven, that is the way he desires
TO 90. True it is hard never to see
again the face of wife, or child, or
friend; but the grace of God is sufii
Client. In meek humility he appro-
PIRATES to himself the promise made
to Paul, and intended for all suffer-
ing saints:-"My grace is sufficient
for thee
Through many dangers, toils,and snares,
He has already come.
IT'S grace has brought him safe thus far,
and grace viii lead him home.
This thought seemed to be pc
cuharly sweet and refreshing to his
Ul;-If this lost vision be not re
stored here, of which there is butlit-
tie hope,-then, when these blind
eyes are opened, they viii see first
the bright unclouded face Of God,
Jesus as he is, heaven in its glory,
and friends and loved ones, the
good and glorifed, all saved and
sale in that holy happy, land.

Truths for Wives.

In domestic happiness the wife's
influence is much greater than her
husbands; for the one, the first
cause-mutual love and confidence
being granted, the whole comfort
of the household depends upon tri
des more Immediately under her ju-
risdiction. BY her management of
small sums her husbands respecta-
bility and credit are erected or de
stroyed. No fortune can stand the
constant leakage of extrcvagance
and mismanagement; and more is
spent in tribes than women would
easily believe. The one great ax-
pense, whatever it may be, is turned
over and carefully reflected on ere
incurred; the income is prepared to
meet 1t; it is pennies imperceptibly
sliding away which do mischief, and
and this the wife alone can stop, for
it does not come within a mans
province. There is often an unex-
pected trile to be saved in every
household. 1t is not in economy
alone that wife's attention is so
necessary, but in those matters
which make . well regulated house.
An unfinished cruet-stand, a miss
ing key, g buttorless shirt, 8 soiled
table. cloth, g mustard pot with its
old contents sticking about it, are
really nothing; but each can raise
an angry word or cause discomfort.

vulcan, the Fraud.

Dr. Peters, the astronomer of
Litchfeld Observatory, Hamilton
College, has written a letter in
which he says that he is convinced
that the '-belief in the planet Vul-
can should be set aside;" that he
only undertook observations for the
discovery of the planet out of re-
spect to the opinions of Leverrier,
who has probably overrated the ae-
curacy of the computations which
led to the hypothesis of the planets
existence. DR.. Peters adds that be
himself has taken observations of
the sun for an average of half an
hour daily during the last ten years,
and that, as for thirty five days out
of a year Vulcan should have been
projected on the suns disk, it is
likely that he would have discoy-
cred the planet if it is not a myth.

A writer in the New York Metho-
dist triumphantly denies the state
ment which so many men are fond
of making-that "women have no
thing to do and that they do it
faithfully"-and asserts that there
are members of the gentler sex who
have endured more, physically, and
accomplished as much, intellectu-
ally, as the best specimens of man
hood. The writer says, with q
naiUette which is absolutely charming
under the circumstances, and which
as an argument is irrefragfble, 81
have known cases where a woman
has raised six children in ten years,
and done all her own homework
and sewing besides;" and then adds,
Hercules would have thrown down
his club in despair at such a task. :"

ries conviction, and closes the case

Gentle Words to Newspaper
Critics.


Among newspaper readers there
is as great a variety of tastes, and
perhaps standards of excellence, as
there are readers. A is not at all
interested in articles that suit the
taste of B, and B is amazed that A
takes so kindly to the articles which
he does not read, while c is disgust
ed with both.
Those who read a newspaper
should bear in mind the great vari-
ETY. Of tastes it is necessary for its
editors to consult. A man whose
attention is devoted exclusively to

town gossip and the numerous
readers in town will find no special
pleasure in reading a purely agri-
cultural article. A cultivated old
man will be Disguised at the silly
story that will captivate the litter

not always satisfied with political
news, and men care little for the
