HOLD YOUR HUSBAND UP.

A woman writing to the Sunny South up
on the subject of hard times, addresses her
sisters in the following truthful language:
Well, what's to be done about it? Such
times kill energy, hope, enterprise. Alas ]!
you say, if | were but a man, etc. This is
the cant of absurd, unfenlanine ambition and
discomfort. Drop it. 1t is unbecoming and
indicate. Thank God who has made you
a woman who has placed you in a shelter
ed position; who has interposed between
you and the harsh contact Of life and enter
prise, the devotion and strength Of man.
Sit back in your curtained house where you
need see only your own--yours by every tie
of affection and blood-yonrs in tenderness
and sympathy-where you are or may be as
supreme as royalty itself, and glory in your
empire. But dare not be idle there. Your
hands, if they are dainty and white, were
not made to handle silks and laces alone,
nor the quick brain which tllrobs under your
smooth brow and flashes from your dark
eyes, only to be fed by fiction. Verify, you
have d mission to fulfill outside the impor-
tant domestic requirements of home. Hold
your husband up. Yes, even you, whose
often feel that you must lean so heavily on
his strength and love. Hold him up. The
day may come tit comes to all sooner or lat
err when your hands must do this work
your heart must bear its burden as We'll as
his. A day may come when, in bitterness
and disappointment he may call himself a
failure-When he believes men so call him.
You know neutrality-suspicious. him to be
brave, patient, true and good, burt not infal-
lible. Men grow strangely weak when they
doubt themselves.
Now is the time. You know him far bet
ter than others. Let him see and feel that
the judgment-the court above all the rest
-indorses him. Show him that you believe
in him-that4on this trust yo1l rest for your
little ones and yourself. Keep his heart
warm with confidence and approval. Tell
him boldly that with him at the helm, your
domestichappiness cannot be wrecked. Keep
his thoughts at home. Don't let him look
too far out at sea-feariDg storms and break
ers.. Morestllan one man has been saved,
helped, rescued by his wife's unfailing faith,
O. cannot be less than she thinks me,'' he
says, and, new-shod, he begins the battle

Refinement is not tastidiousness. It is
not luxury. 1t is nothing of this kind. 1t
is far removed from excess Or waste. A per-
son who is truly refined will not sqdander
or ~needlessly consume anything. Refine
ment on the. contrary is always allied to sim
plicity and a judieious and tasteful employ
ment OF the means Of the good and happi-
ness which it has at command. 1t seeks to
divest itself OF superfluities, and aspires con-
tinually to the utmost possible purity. Re-
finement leads to personal cleanliness and
elegant %neatness, good taste and simplicity
in dress. All "%loudness" or flashiness is
repugnat to its spirit. In it's home and sur
roundings the same chasteness and natural
grace are maintained. The abode of genu-
inc refinement and a mere pretender to it
are very different. In the former you will
find no excess, gaudiness or false glittering;
but the latter abounds in it. In personal
manner, refinement is most conspicuous. "A
man of refinement is always polite without
effeminacy, and considerate without stiff
ness. Display and ceremony are Identical
without refinement like that of the heart,
WITCH ilnpels its possessor to show on all oc-
casions a regard for the feelings of others.
No adherence to etiquette can compare with
it for the spontaneous observance of true
and neutrality-suspicious.
A CHEERFUL WIFE.-What a blessing to
a household is a merry, cheerful woman
one whose spirits are not affected by wet
days or little disappointments-one whose
milk of human kindness does not soul id

in the darkest hours, %brightens the house
like a piece of sunshiny weather. The

THE SHERMAN FAMILY.
Five Brothers Who Have Been Sup
ported by the Government.

John Sherman prides himself
upon civil service reform. He is
enforcing in the most cold-blOoded
way a rule declaring that no two of
a family shall be employed in his
department. Consistency is a jewel,
but the following record of the Sher-
man family in Office, given by the
Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun, shows that John
does not wear one in his diadem.
l.. p. Sherman is a Collector of
Internal Revenue in Des Moines,
Iowa. In the recent consolidation
of revenue districts he was spared.
Hoyt Sherman is a receiver of a
bankrupt bank in Iowa. He was
appointed by Comptroller John j..
Knox, with Sherman's approval.
Judge Chas. Sherman was United
States Judge for the Northern Dis
trict of Ohio. He resigned to escape
an impeachment process.
The above are brothers of John
and Gen. w. T. Sherman. All have
been in Office at some time, and,
with one exception, are now. John
sherman, Jr., nephew, is United
States Marshal in New Mexico.
Higgins, another nephew, is in the
New York custom-house. Other
members of the family are yet to be
heard from.

Onr Colored ponnlnl,on.

We take the following from the
Maryville (Tenn.) Republican, a
paper edited by colored man, and
a strong Republican:
The colored people Of the South
are gradually but surely emancipat-
ing themselves from their political
masters and nothing has contrib
uted so much to this end as the
liberal policy Of President Hayes.
Whatever doubts we may have had
i'm regard TO the legality Of ais elec-
ton, the President has most certainly
acquitted himself well so far, and
has accomplished more to check the
corruption and partisanism Of his
own party than a Democratic presi-
dent could have accomplished. The
Republican party has been rebulSed
and condemned as IL never was
before; and the wholesome lesson
will not, we trust, be lost upon the
members Of both parties"

my brother 20 There is one in the
assemblage, however, sister Of the
unfortunate cadet and she is frantic.
Inquiries reveal the fact that while
he was cutting the ground and bend
ing over for that purpose the girth
broke, and his saddle slipping to one
side shot him to the ground, where
he fell upon his shoulder and head.
He bleeds freely, and DIR. Robinson,
who is on the spot in minute, pro-
nonnces him only severely stunned.
ANOTHER EXCITING SCENE.
While everybody is watching and
inquiring about Cadet Hoppin an
other exciting scene has been in
progress close by. When the horse
felt his rider fall he darted forward
like cannon ball /; in a moment he
was at the hedge in front of the ho-
tel without turning a hair he burst |
straight through the hedge, carrying |
before him the fence running beside |
1t, and plunged up the lawn. OF the
company seated upon the piazza,
two ladies fell in a faint from fright. |
Two of Hoppins' companions who
were riding beside him when he |
fell pressed on to catch the horse, one
on either side. They followed
through the break made in the
hedge, and only a few feet behind.
The runaway crossed the little lawn,
and finding himself cornered by the
hedge on the Otherside, cleared it at
/ bound, breaking away the fence
IN the outside of it at the same time.
With hoop the two pursuers lifted
heir horses over in fine style, and
way the three coursed, leaving
everything at the hotel in as great
'onfusion as there existed upon the
Dlain.
All this excitement, however, last
d but few minutes, for the runa-
way was soon caught, and the in
1red cadet was carried off in q car
iage. He proved to be only stunned
nd bruised, and was able to walk
ut of the hospital this afternoon.
