The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1878-05-15

The Committee appointed by the
Legislature of West Va, which has
been taking testimony in regard to
discriminating freight rates on the
Baltimore q Ohio railroad, has con-
cludcd its labors, and as we supposed
would be the result, the charge that
local shippers are required to pay
much greater rates than merchants
at competing points, has been fully
sustained. We regret to have to
state that this practice by the B. g.
o. Road is very unjust, and has brok'
en- down many an honest business
along the line of this road. The re-
port of the committee to the Legisla.
ture will, therefore, be injurious, no
doubt, to the former good name of the
road, and we trust that its officers
will at once see fit to revise its freight
schedule, aud give the shippers at
the way stations an equal chance
with those at competing, or through
points.-.Sandmd.

TO wives.

In your issue Of Aprll'", notlcea
short article entitled "Dont's for
Husbands" which suppose is selec-
ted matter but which is of no less
value because Of that. The writer Of
the above mentioned article, evident
ly n woman, gives good advice to
husbands, and all heads Of families
would do well to follow her advice;
but, Notwithstanding all she says is
strictly true, there is another side to
the question, and, with your permits
sion, l wish to say few words to
wives II is a well known fact that
this kind of literature is not always
interesting to the casual render but
perhaps a sufficient number Of sober,
earnest readers are interested in the
happiness of their families to such
an extent that this will be accepta-
BILE.
Our sole object in life should DO to
secure happiness; for without happi-
ness "this worlds a wilderness Of
woe" But above all things let there
be happiness at home. Wife, you
have u mission, and that mission is
this: Make home pleasant. If there
is "a heaven here below" it certain
ly is where happiness reigns SUI
prcme.
Always welcome your husband
with a smile; it is like oil to the
troubled waters, and costs you but a
slight effort.
Speak kindly, remembering. that
kindness conquers more stubborn
hearts than all else put together.
Don't think that when you have
married a man, you have nothing tc
do but sit down on the.stool-of-do
nothing and nurse your hands; no
rather think that your success in
life depends upon you as we'll as your
husband.
Don't think that your husband
has no feeling, because he is a big
rough fellow. Tender hearts are moi
the exclusive property of the fairel
sex,
Don't think that you can com
mence swapping and snarling a:
soon as the preacher has tied the
nuptial knot. Perhaps your hus
band might request the court to "tie
him loose" again,
Don't be sour and reticent. Hac
you been that sort Of Il woman be-
fore marriage, the probabilities are
that somebody" would fill an an
cient maiden's grave.
Practice economy, but be not stin,
gy, Economy is essential to the
happiness of every family, whether
rich or poor, and should be practiced
in the Kitchen us well as anywhere
else. "Waste not, want not" should
be your motto, and you would dc
well to remember the following ia
miliar couplet,-
"Little drops OF water, little grains OF sand
Make the mighty ocean, and the beauteous
land"
Stinginess is objectionable, and to
more fully illustrate this point per
nit me to relate an incident that oc,
Cured in Cincinnati a few years
ago: The lady Of very fine house
was expecting visitors from Column
bus, and of course she must make q
grand display, She presided in the
kitchen for days previous to the ex'
pected event; but, as was afterwards
learned, her sole object was to set
that the cooks did not use too much
lliddlport Republican.

The First Step.

The familiar saying, at is the first
step which costs" was thus illustra-
ted in an address to young men, de-
livered by Mr., Nudge, Of Boston,
He said 1t is the beginning which is
difficult. l mean by this the fixing
a habit of doing right. Suppose you
are sent out Of the counting-room or
store to transact business of any
kind, even the delivery Of a letter or
the paying of bill, the temptation
to loiter on the way if you meet a
friend, or to consume time by gazing
at shop windows, should be avoided
as wrong act. If you resist the
first temptation in this direction,
you will find the habit strengthen
ing daily of speed and certainty in
your movements, SO that your en-
ployers, or those Immediately over
you, begin to say, "Such u one takes
less time to do his outdoor work than
any other we send out" And the
converse of this is true also; for the
clerk who wastes his time when out
of The sight of his employer has ia.
ken the first step in dishonesty, and
is educating his conscience in the
way of moral obliQuity.

Small Meals.

We think that the power of money
is on the whole, overestimated. The
greatest things which were done for the
world have not been accomplished by
rich men, or by subscription lists, but
by men generally of pecuniary means.
The greatest thinkers, discoverers, in
ventors, and artists have been men of
moderate wealth, many of them little
raised above the condition of manual
laborers in point of worldly circum-
stances. And it will always be so.
Riches are oftener an impediment than
a stimulus of action; and in many cases
they are quite as much misfortune as
a blessing. The youth who inherits
wealth is apt to have life made too easy
for him, and SO grows stated with it be-
cause he has nothing left to desire
Having no special object to struggle
for, be finds time too heavy on his
hands; remains mentally and morally
asleep; and his position in society is
often no higher than that of a polypus
over which the tide floats
