POWER OF A SWEET VOIcE.-There is
no power of love so hard to get and keep
as kind voice. A kind hand is deaf and
dumb. 1t may be rough in flesh and
blood, yet do the work of a soft heart, and
do it with soft touch. But there is no
one thing that love so much needs as
sweet voice to tell what it means and feels,
and it is hard to get and keep it in the
right tone. One must start in youth, and
be on the watch night and day, at work
and at play, to get and keep voice that
shall speak at all times the thoughts of
kind heart. But this is the time when a
sharp voice is most apt to be got. You
often hear boys and girls say words at
play with quick. sharp tone, as if it were
the snap of whip. When one of them
gets vexed you will hear a voice that
sounds as if it were made up Of a snarl,
whine and bark. Such voice often
speaks worse than the heart feels. It
shows more ill-will in the tone than in the
words. 1t is often in mirth that one gets
a voice or a tone that is sharp, and sticks
to him through life, and stirs up ill-will
and grief, and falls like drop of gall on
the sweet joys of home. Such as these
get sharp home voice, for use, and keep
their best voice for those they meet else
where, just as they would keep their best
cake and pies for guests, and all the sour
food for their own board. would say to
all boys and girls, "Use your guest voice
at home. Watch it day by day, as apea ri
of great price, for it will be worth more to
you in days to come than the best pearl
hid in the sea. A kind voice is a joy like
lark's song to hearth and home. It is
to the heart what light. is to the eye. 1t
is a light that sings as we'll as shines.
Train it to sweet tones now, and it will
keep in tune through life.''

MARRIED LIFE.-Jullus Moser gives the
following counsel from a wife and mother:
81 try to make myself and all around me
agreeable. II will not do to leave man to
himself till he comes to you; to take no
pains to attract him, or to appear before
him with long face. It is not so difficult
as you think, dear child, to behave to a
husband so that he shall remain forever in
some measure husband. I am an old
woman, but you can still do what you
like; word from you at the right time
will not fail Of its effect; what need have
you to play the suffering virtue? The tear
of loving girl, said an old book, is like
a dewdrop to a rose; but that on the
cheek of the wife is drop of poison to the
husband. Try to appear cheerful and con-
tented, and your husband will be so, and
when you have made him happy you will
become so-not in appearance, but in
reality.
1.-The skill required is not so great
Nothing tiatters a man so much as the
happiness of his wife; he is always proud
of himself as the source of it. AS soon as
you are cheerful he will be lively and
alert, and every moment will afford you
an opportunity to let fall an agreeable
word, Your education, which gives you
an'immense advantage, will greatly assist
you, and your sensibility will become the
noblest gift that nature has bestowed on
you, when it shows itself in affectionate
assiduity. and stamps on every action a
soft, kind and tender character, instead of
wasting itself in secret repinings."
This is most excellent advice, and
worthy of being treasured up.

MY WlfE.
RESPONSE TO HER sTANzA, "MY HUSBAND"
What maiden, in the days of yore,
Smote me with most tremendous power,
Inf1icting pangs unknown befOre?-
My wife.
Who pitied me in my distress,
And, by one simple little Eyes"
Changed all my woe to blessedness?-
My wife,
Who did with look almost divine,
My soul in cords of love entwine
And gave her precious heart for miner
My wife.
Who to the altar went with me-, ~ t e =
Our hearts agloW with ecstacy,
And my good angel vowed to be?- 81.
My wife.
Who, since to the altar led
MY blushing bride, and vows were said,
Has naught but blessings round me shed?-
My wife.
Who in our pilgrimage below t,.
Has cheered with smiles the passage through,
And ever faithful proved and true?-
My wife.
When pressed with sorrow, toll and cares,
Who all my grief and trouble shares,
And half at least my burden bearS?-
Ny wife.
When temptests rage and pillows roll
And human passions Spurn control,
Who Gains the tumult of my soul?-
My wife.
And shadows dark are changed to light,
Who joys with me in sweet delight

Who was in youth tn admired OF men;
But now at threescOre years and ten,
Is far more beautiful than then?-

AS down life's rugged steep go,
With careful, trembling steps and slow,
Who clings to me and helps me through

Who, when my toilsome days aro..o'er.
Will meet me on blest Canaan's shore.
And sing with me fOrevermOre?-

TOMATO SAUCE.-Pare and slice one

FARM AND. PRESIDE.

To REMOVE INK FROM CARPETs.-If
taken when freshly spilled. ink can be ia
ken from carpets by wetting in milk.
Take cotton batting and soak up all of the
ink that it will receive, being careful not
to let it spread Then take fresh cotton,
wet in milk, and sop it up carefully. Re-.
peat this operation, changing cotton and
milk each time. After most of the ink has
been taken up in this way, with fresh cot
ton and clean, rub the spot. Continue till
all disappears; then wash the spot in clean,
warm water and little soap; rinse in clear
water and rub till nearly dry. If the ink
is dried in, we know of no way that will
not take the color from the carpet as we'll
as ink-unless the ink is on white spot.
In that case salts of lemon, or soft soap,
starch, and lemon juice. will remove the
ink as easily as if on cotton.

CHowcHow.-One peck of green tomatoes
chopped fine; soak over night in strong
brine: then drain, and add one large head
of cabbage chopped fine; cover with vine
gar, and cook slowly one hour. Prepare
one pound of sugar, one tablespoonful each
OF cinnamon, cloves, allspice and pepper,
four tablespoonsful of ground mustard,
and pint Of grated horse radish; mix all
together; bring to the boiling point; drain
the cabbage and tomatoes, and pour this
mixture over. Pack tightly in jar, and
set it in cool place. Two red peppers
and six onions may be added if liked.

SORE THRoAT.-Soak a small piece of
bread, about the size of shazel-nut, and
then take pinch Of Cayenne pepper; mix

pain. In severe case second dose may
be requisite, which has never been known

AUTUMN BOUQUETS. Perhaps you think
you know how to make these; but few peo-
pie make them with any taste, and want
to tell you how. FIJI your vase to the top
with clean fine sand: take your grasses
one by one. stand them up in the sand,
keeping each one distinct from it's neigh
Dor, and using very few. Then you will
have light and graceful affair, instead of
a clumsy bunch which hides all the deli
cate beauty of the grasses, and reminds
one of a load Of hay. A fern or two-but
no more-adds to it's beauty, and q spray
of autumn leaves, half hidden among the
grasses, gives it color. One Of the preti-
est grass-bouquets ever saw, had not
more than dozen delicate grass stems.
1t looked like fairy thing.

THE FARMER who relies on wood for
fuel during the winter, and who does not
draw and prepare it before the approach of
cold weather, is getting ready to endure a
great deal of discomfort. He is engaging
cold rooms, and late meals very Indifferent
ly cooked. Years ago some one started
the story that green wood produced, in
burning, more heat than that which was
dry or seasoned, and certain lazy people
believed, or pretended to believe the story.
1t has, however, no foundation in fact. If
water is not evaporated from wood by the
influence of the sun, it must be driven off
by heat of the fire. In fact, a stick of
wood is used to dry another before it is in
condition to be burned. This causes
most wasteful consumption Of fuel, while
at best poor and miserable fire is kept

The Congressional Election.

General apathy seemed to have full
sway in the democratic party, in this
district, last Tuesday. In this county not
a half vote was polled by the party, and
the republicans and greenbackers unit
ing, turned out better, succeeding in
carrying the county, by 1ol majority,
for Rice over Cravens. And we Judge,
from the returns that the same indiffer
ence was shown By voters in all OF the
other counties in the democratic ranks.
Col. Cravens was elected by small ma
jorty--so small that we don't feel dis
posed to crow much. In district that
has unquestionably 1000 to 5000 dem
ocratc majority, on a full vote, 1t Is
burning shame that we have to record
bare escape from defeat. Three OF 1our
