Love in Matrimony.

Love, not duty, begets love, and there
by insures happiness, and is the one thing
needful, lie is to marriage what faith is
to savation--its one great, all determin-
ing condition. Duty with love, kindness,
and all the other human attributes, are
required.
The one paramount duty is affection,
prompted by inclination, and not simply
by y sense of duty. Let love be a vol
untary free Offering, not bartered. Doing
however much without love makes the
beneficiary the more unhappy; but when
love beams in her eyes and tlushes in her
cheeks, and whether she do little or
much, when there emanates from her that
sacred charm and halo, as indigenous to
the loving woman as light to luminaries,
it sends a calm, quiet thrill throughout
his being to animate all, and thus prompt
to "cleaning boots and repairing fences"
Seeing others eat makes Us hungry,
laughter awakens laughter; thought,
thought; taste, taste; music, music; and
of course this principle applies to love,
and can be employed to elicit it to al
most any desired extent. How intense
the pleasure of loves first full declaration
by words! Then why does not every new
declaration re-enamour? Yet most peu.
pie, after having declared their affection,
stow it away among the sacred archives
of the past rarely to be repeated. Once
they took lovers walks, but take no ore; ;
they were takative, but now demure, and
now there are no expressions OF tender
ness. They 60 out, come in, retire, and
rise without one loving word. True, she
does all her house work well and on time,
and he buys all she desires, "cleans his
boots, and repairs fences" but if either
should impress genuine, hearty love kiss
upon the others cheek, the kissed one
would be perfectly amazed asif clap of
thunder had startled them on cloudless
day. Married people should love each
other just as young lovers do, only as
much more as they are older.
If woman wants her husband to love
her, it is his place to make it, and if she
wishes to caress, he should help, not hin.
der. Nearly all women like to be loved
and caressed by those who have their
hearts, and that before folks, provided
custom frowns not thereon. Women,
tell the world, and especially your hus-
bands, just how you desire them to act
towards you. Were they not created ex
pressly to love and to be loved2
Would it not be well for those who
have grown cool upon the subject,
to get up a new love affair between
themselves and each vie with the other

Reduced to Eating Dirt.
AN AMERICAN MIssToNARY's DESCRIPTION
OF THE FAMINE IN CHINA.

The Rev. S. Wells Williams in letter
says; This day was the worst Of all,
saw abundant proofs of men eating clay
or stones, and bought three stone cakes
The stone is the same as our soft stone
pencils. 1t is reduced to dust and mixed
with millet husks, in different proper.
tions, and then baked 1t does not look
bad, but tastes like what it is-dust. The
dead seem to-day to number more than
on any previous day for there were twenty
nine in eighteen miles along the road,
and the circumstances were more fright
full. In one valley the road branched
into two, and my servant took one while
| took the Other--on each side the stream.
On his road, the servant saw a woman
lying in ditch after being robbed of all
she had, and still moving, though uncOn-
scious of any one passing by. Further
on we saw mans head cut clean from
his body--a cruel murderers deed. We
saw also among the dead some wounded
heads, but not done by the wolves, dogs
or birds. The dogs barked and howled
at us when we drove them off from the
dead. Many of the corpses seen when we
were going had disappeared, but their
places were more than supplied by others.
",To those details of what saw give
you briefer account of what | have
heard. Some men coming from Sichum,
on their way to Peking, said that along
the whole way they saw dead bodies here
and there. Saow had fallen in Honan
province foot deep, and about eight
inches in Shansi to the west and north.
west, and none further nLrth in that
province. In all that region west of this
the cold had been unusual. The soft
stone is sold at from two to five mills
pound, and bark from five to seven mills
per pound for food. The roots of sweet
flags are dug, but they cause the face to
swell. Grain is three or four times the
usual price, and turnips and cabbage five
or six times. Flour is seven, eight and
nine mills per ounce. In every city
passed through the report was twenty,
thirty or forty dying daily. At Ping
yang ten great pits had been filed, and
two carts were daily employed in cart
ing the dead One inn keeper told US
that one of his customers reported hav-
ing counted two hundred and seventy
dead on the road in three days journey.
Whole families, old and young, die in
their houses and lie there unburied. In
one district third of the population are
dead, and the people maintain that in
many towns fully one half have perished,
and they know villages where formerly
dwelt 300, 400 and even 500 people, of
whom not more than 100 now remain

WHosoEvER would become a good
cook must give the mind to it, and in Or
der to excel in this branch of domestic
economy, one must have, or cultivate, a
taste for it. Seasoning is the most diff
cult part of the cooking. One may know
how to stew, roast or broil, but to know
we'll what seasonings or spices to add
which will improve the flavor, requires
patience, practice and ideality. Again,
badly cooked food is sheer waste Of ma
terial, strength and nerve. What mother
can justly expect to rear rosy, happy
children upon sour bread, indigestible
meats and rich pastry No woman should
take upon herself the duties of wife or
mother, without a thorough knowledge
of the art and no woman's education is
complete, however brilliant, if this
branch be neglected. If mothers taught
their daughters from the first that it was
as much of an accomplishment to manu-.
fActure light, wholesome bread, snowy
biscuits, or to be enabled to broil a steak
to nicely, as to master difficult piece
Of music or one Of the languages, there
would be fewer divorce cases, fewer com
planning husbands and miserable, un
happy wives.

HOME HARMoNIEs.-Climate, sex,
mode of life, temperament, ETC., deter
mine to some extent the age when actual
instruction should begin; but, generally
speaking, as three years are required to
develop consciousness of sensuous life,
five more for the exercise of the under
standing, six more for the play of fancy,
and seven more for the development of
the understanding and formation of
character, music lessons ought to be de.
layed until the eighth year. Even then
it is a mistake to present high ideals, but
far preferable to begin with forms of art
that are most nearly allied to nature. For
this reason the scientific form OF the
minor scale with the step of an argu-
mented second from the sixth to the
seventh notes. should be withheld, and
also other progressions that indicate men
tai states not yet actually experienced by
the pupil-suCh as, for instance, long
ing for state of longing, or violent pas
sions and emotions not Of q childlike
character. To economize time it is well,
so soon as few chords and melodies are
known, to impart slight knowledge of
harmony, that chords may be readily
identified however strange may be their
appearance in various diversions or in
elaborate arpeggiO. The silent study of
harmony, form, rhythmic complexities,
etc, is not only very advantageous to the
pupil, but also to others, for music is the
most intrusive Of all the arts and we can
not close our ears if we would.-Ltppin-

To the Weeping Willow

O willow, why forever weep,
As one who mourns an endless wrong
What hidden woe can bc SO decp'
Wba, utter grief can last SO long,
The spring makes haste with step eI"'e
Your life and beauty to renew;
She even bids the roses wait,
And gives her first fond care to you.
The welcome rcdbrcast folds his wing
To pour for YOU his freshest strain;
To you the earliest bluebirds sing,
Til all your light stems thrill again.
The sparrow Chirps his wedding song,
And trusts his tender brood to you;
Fair towering vines the summer long
With clasp and kiss your beauty WOO
The sunshine drapes your limbs with light
The rain braids diamonds in your hair;
The breeze makes love to you at night,
Yet still you droop and still despair
Beneath your boughs, at fall OF dew,
BY lovers lips is softly told
The tale that all the ages through
Has kept the world from growing old
But still, though Aprll's buds unfold,
Or summer sets the earth aleaf,
Or autumn pranks your robes with gold,
You sway and sigh in graceful grief,
Mourn on forever, unconsoled,
And keep your secret, faithful tree;
No heart in all the world can hold
A sweeter grace than constancy.

Trying to Rob Hannah de ROths-
child.

On, Wednesday night skillfully
planned attempt to carry off the jewels
of Lady Rosebery was made at Petworth
House, Sussex, the seat of Lord Lecon-
field, at which Lord and Lady Rosebcry
are spending their honeymoon. 1t ap.
pears that the dressiug.room of her lady
ship is situated in the back portion of the
mansion, overlooking retired court
yard. On the night in question, while
the guests in the house were at dinner,
one of the men servants, on passing
through the courtyard, noticed peculiar
hickering light in the window OF the
dressing-room, the blinds of which we're
down. He stood for moment looking
at the window, when, observing the forms
of two persons moving about, it occurred
to him that something was wrong. lie
at once, without entering the house, rang
bell attached to the exterior OF the man
sion for alarm purposes. This had the
effect of disturbing the robbers, who es-
capped by ladder placed perpendicularly
against the wall, and which the man SER
want who had raised the alarm had failed,
in consequence of the darkness, to OBJ
serve. The dressing room door was found
to be locked from the outside, and on
admission being gained twas discovered
that the robbers had not succeeded in
stealing any booty. This was due to the
fact that the jewel cases of Lady Rose
berry were placed in a strong iron case,
instead of being, as is generally the Gus
tom, left on the table. The police have
failed to obtain any clew to the culprits.

appropriation bill on which it was tackled.

Chicago and purchasing stamps at postmas-

their salary 1000 or $4,000 year, when,
perhaps, it should have been but $780, On
