A Bit Of Married Experience.

married my wife about thirty
five years ago. The ceremony was
performed about seven o'clock in
the morning. Before retiring that
evening we had a good talk with
each other, and the result has
sweetened our entire lives. We
agreed that each should always be
watchful and careful, never, by
word or act, 20 hurt the feelings of
the other. We were both young,
hot-tempered, both positive in our
likes and both somewhat eXacting
and inheXible-just the material for
a life of conjugal warfare. Well,
for a few years we found it hard
work to always live by our agree.
ment. Occasionally mot often) a
word or look would slip off the
tongue or face before it could be
caught or suppressed; but we never
allowed the sun to go down upon
our wrath. Before retiring at night
on such occasions there was always
confessions and forgiveness, and the
culprit would become more careful
in future.
Our tempers and dispositions be
came gradually more congenial, so
that after few years we came to be
one in reality, as the matrimonial
ceremony had pronounced US nom
inally. In thinking back we find
that for more than twenty years
our little agreement has been I'M
broken, and there has been no oc-
casion for confession and forgive
ness. IL business we have had adj.
versity and prosperity, failure and
success. We raised family of
children about US, and we are SIM
pie enough to believe that we have
better children and better grand
children because of our mutual
agreement. Under such a contract
religiously kept, no ill-natured chill
dren will be reared, and no boys
will find the streets and bar-rooms
more pleasant than home. To
make a good wife or a good hus-
band requires the co operation of
both,

Take the Safe Road.

"But all who drink do not be
come drunkards." 1 know that;
but if fifty young men begin to
drink some will assuredly be ruined
by it. Then there is risk. Now
we all 1esire safety and security.
Suppose you desire to travel
from New York to Chicago, and
there were two lines of road-one
on which there were accidents con-
stantly occurring, on every train
some disaster, passengers killed
and wounded; and on the other,
never since its opening had there
been a single accident, which road
would you take? If you are sensi-
bic and regard your own welfare,
you would take the safe one. Sup
pose some one should tempt you to
take the risky road by telling you
how much more beautiful the cars
were, and what jolly company you
would find on hoard the train; you
would say, 81 care not SO much for
gaudy cars. and jolly company as
for my safety. l want to be safe"
Now, it is your safety we seek when
we ask you to abstain entirely from
strong drink. There is no certainty
that you will become victims if you
begin to indulge, but there is a
great risk.

Teach Your Boys.

Teach them that true lady may
be found in calico quite as frequent
ly as in velvet or white silk.
Teach them that a common
school education, with common
sense, is better than a college edu-
cation without it.
Teach them that a good trade,
thoroughly mastered, is worth a
dozen beggarly professions.
Teach them that honesty is the
best policy, that it is better to be a
poor man than to be rich on the
profits of "crooked whiskey," etc.,
and point your precept by the exam
pie of those who are now suffering
the torments of the damned.
Teach them to respect their
elders and themselves.
Teach them to expect to be men
some day, and that they cannot too
soon learn to respect the weak and
helpless.
Teach them that smoking in mod
GRAFTON, though the least of vices to
which men are heirs, is the most
disgusting to others and hurtful to
themselves.
Teach them that to wear patched
clothing is no disgrace, but to wear
a "black eye" is.
Teach them that God is no re-
specter of sex, and that when he
gave the seventh commandment he
meant it for them as well as their
sisters.
Teach them that by indulging
their depraved appetites in the
worst forms of dissipation they are
not fitting themselves to become
the husbands of pure girls.
Teach them that it is better to be
an honest man seven days in the
week than to be a Christian (?) one
day and a'vil.ain six days.
Teach them that God helps those
who help themselves.
Do all this and you will be sure
to have brought them up in the way
they should go.

1t was many long years ago,
That we wandered, my own love and l,
In the mead where the green willows grow
And the brooklet goes murmuring by.
Sweet was the hum of the bees,
The brides sang sweet from the trees,
And the bright butterfly,
Flew lazily by,
While flowers perfumed tie soft breeze.
Down by the brooks messy brim,
The violets were blooming so fair,
While the giant old tulip, SO grim,
Threw its cool, dark shadow there.
The sound of the brooks silver tide,
Was sweet as it flowed by our side.
The doves were cooling,
And | was wooing,
And she promised to be my fair bride.
But death soon caused us to sever,
So he broke our new ties of love;
But now shall always endeavor,
To live so I'll meet her above,
And there meath those Paradise trees,
While the flower scents float on the breeze,
Wen renew our old love,
And never above,
Shall those new lies be brokon like these.

VegetinE

DR. R Stevens
Dear Sir-I take the pleasure of writing
you q small certificate concerning Vegetine
prepared by you. haYe been sufferer with
the Dyspepsia for over forty years, and have
had the Chronic Diarrhoea for over s months,
and havetried most every thing; was given mp
to die, and did not expect to live from day
to day, and no physician could touch my
case. saw your Vegetine recommended TO
cure Dyspepsia. / commenced using it, and
1 continued doing so, and am now well wo-
man and restored to perfect health. All who
are afflicted with this terrible disease, would
kindly recommend to try it for the benefit Of
their health, and it is excellent as blood
purifier. BY DR. 7 B Forbes, NJ D, for
Mrs " NJ II FORBES.
Vegetine-Wb hen the blood becomes lifeless
and stagnant, either from change or wealth.
or or of climate, want of exercise, Irregular
diet, or from any other cause, the Yegetine
will renew the blood, carry off the putrid
humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate the
bowels, and impart a tone Of vigor to the
whole body.

. that is selfish will eat his candy all
alone. he will have little to do
with other boys. He cares for no.
body and nobody cares for him.
He would not give up his seat on
the cars to an old man trembling on
the brink of the grave. He would
allow his old grandmother to stand
and he would occupy his seat. He
has no desire to accommodate any
one. He is like Ishmael; his hands
are against every body. He is stingy.
He puts very few nickels into the
box when the collection is taken up.
When he gets to be a man he will
be a .miser. He will be ready to
coin his blood to money. He will
clutch and hoard and cheat and rob
if he can only save himself from the
punishment OF the law. He is q
surly fellow; he is like the old Greek
philosopher who lived in a tub. He
wants no companion. He is like
the cur that occupies the manger OF
the OK; he will neither est the hay
nor allow the OK to eat.
Laziness is another dead fly. 1t
is stupid and dull. 1t makes no
mprovement. 1t stands still when
duty calls. The lazy man sleeps
while others work, and starves while
others thrive. The lazy woman is
known by her dress, by the way
she keeps her house and by the way
her husband goes. A lazy girl never
has a good lesson, never writes 4
good composition, never rises ia
the school, and only attracts atten-
ton by her lack of neatness or by
her great dullness. Lazy children
are always behind. They get to
the Sabbath school after song and
prayer, and during the week they
are tardy half the time.
But | will not hunt up any more
dead flies. L have explained the
text 80 that you all understand it.
l want now to show you a character
that has not in it, that never had in
it, any dead flies. 1t is like the
precious ointment that ran down
upon the head of Aaron. 1t is like
the dew upon the mown grass. 1t
is like unsullied snow upon the top
OF the mountain. 1t is like the
sparkling diamond in the crown of
the king. 1t is pure and gentle,
honest and truthful, blameless and
strong. 1t has 10 bad appearance,
no dead flies. 1t sends out no bad
odors. 1t is beautiful as the light
of heaven, and sweeter than the
summer roses. The sun itself is
not so free from spots and does not
shine with a clearer light. In earth
there is nothing so beautiful; in
heaven there is nothing so attrac-
tive. 1t forms the basis of Gods
eternal throne, and is the strength
of his scepter. 1t is more precious
than rubies, and all else that can be
desired is not equal to it. Time
cannot waste it away, and it will
flourish through eternal years. Mis-
fortune cannot harm it, and SANDER,
base and wicked as it is, can do it
no real injury. 1t will stand the
fires that will burn up the world and
will rise, bright and beautiful, in
the midst of universal ruin. Be
such as this. But one perfect char
acter has lived as human being in
this world of sin. He tells you to
be like Him. Rise to this high ex
ample. Make yourself strong in
HIS likeness and devoted to His
fear.

Douglas Wife.

During the life of the little giant
there was no wife in America more
devoted to a husbands interests
than the slender little beauty whom
Douglas won for his second, after
he had well started on the road to
fame. A politician, an intriguer, a
diplomat, she lent the aid of her
woman's tact to the cause of her
liege lord. She travelled with him
on his electioneering tours; she
showed her sweet face at the coun
try hastings; she kissed the country
babies, and praised the ruddy
checked girls; she listened to the
coarse jokes of the backwoodsmen,
and took no ofense at their honest
familiarity; she reigned a very
queen in his elegant home in Wash
ington; she advised with wisdom;
she counseled with shrewdness.

Those who are dragging this coun-

talk as if there was an impossible
gull between the rich and poor
something in our institutions which
prevents the poor from becoming
rich, or the rich from becoming
poor. This is the argument of men
whose idleness and poverty can
generally be traced to their own
misconduct or misfortune. Families,
formerly rich and living in luxury,
are now beggars In our midst
there are men who, ten years ago,
were as poor as the Communists of
the present day, but by honest in
