Home, Wife, q Saturday Night.

Happy is the man who has a
little home and an angel in it OF
Saturday night-a house, no matter
how little, provided it will hold
your family,nO matter how humbly,
provided there is hope in it. Let
the winds blow-close curtains.
What if they are plain calico with
out border, tassell. or any such
thing. Let the rain come down
heap up the fire. No matter if you
haven't a candle TO bless yourself
with, for what a beautiful light q
pile of glowing Goals make! render
ing cloudless, shedding a sunset
through the roOm--just light
enough to talk by, not loud as in
the highways, not rapid, as in the
hurrying world, with pauses be-
tween, tor the storm without and
thoughts within to fill up with.
Then wheel the sofa around by the
fire, no matter if the sofa is set
tee, and uncushioned at that. How
sweetly the music OF silver bells for
the time to come falls on the listen
ing heart then! How mournfully
swell the chimes of "the days that
are no more"

The Beauty of Women.

Alma Tadema, the distinguished
Dutch artist, thus expresses himself
in regard to the female form: 81 do
not agree with you that nature is
harmonious and truthful. Nature
seems to me rather to follow the
principle Of surprises and compen-
sations. Handsomely shaped mod
els nearly always have ugIy-or, If
not ugly, ignoble common place,
vulgar-faces, such as could not be
introduced into any composition of
an elevated kind; and pretty girls
are often ill-shaped and still oftener
deformed by COMPRISING their
form to suit the exigencies of mod
ern dress. This is a perfectly nat
ural sequence of the conditions of
costume. A beautifully formed wo-
man shows to poor advantage in
modern drapery. She appears, to
eyes trained to admire a purely ar
tilicial outline, thick wasted and
straight up and down. The reason
is not remote. Modern costume is
made not to reveal beauty, but to
hide defects. The waist of cincture
is far too low, and divides the body
into two parts, hideously and artifi-
cially, besides weakening the mus
cles on which a beautiful waist de
ponds, by supporting them instead
Of letting them support themselves.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1878-08-22

There are few families, we mag
inc anywhere, in which love is not
abused as furnishing a license for
mpoliteness. a husband, or ia
ther, or brother, will speak harsh
words to those that he loves best,
and to those who love him best,
simply because the security of love
and family pride keep him from
getting his head broken. 1t is q
shame that a man will speak more
impolitely at times to his wife or sis
ter than he dare do to any other
female except a low and vicious
one. Things ought not to be so.
The man who, because it will not
be resented, inflIcts his spleen and
bad temper on those of his hearth,
is a small coward and a mean man.
Kind words are the circulating me-
dunn between true gentlemen and
true ladies at home, and no polish
exhibited in society can atone for
the harsh language and dlsreputa-
BILE treatment too often INDUCED in
between those bound together by
Gods own ties of blood, and
the still more sacred bonds Of con-
jugal love.

LADIES COLUMN.
HARoLINE HAROLD, EDITOR.
The Women Trying to Save
Virginia's Credit.

Petersburg (Va.) Index-Appeal:
The contributions 50 far to the wo-
mems fund for the liquidation of
the State debt are very encouraging
and give practical aspect to the
scheme, which at first appeared
visionary and almost impossible,
and which even now is but in a
crude state of development. The
ladies, however, have laid hold of
the enterprise with right good will,
and when these energetic and en-
thusiastic creatures are thoroughly
in earnest, they inevitably succeed.
One cannot repress a thrill of
pride while reading a report of
these contributions and promises
for the future. The unselfish and
patriotic spirit there displayed is
worthy of Spartan mother or Ro-
man matron. The bond-holders
could very well afford to contribute
largely of their bonds to foster the
enterprise. Efforts will be made to
organize a fund in every city and /,
if successful, the effect will be to
crush out an agitation which has
already seriously impaired the cred
it of the State and furnished her
character for good faith.

Words With Farmers Taking
Care of Self.

1t must be admitted that the av-
eTage farmer needs no advice as to
taking care of himself in most
ways; but in the matter of provid
ing the proper vegetable fOr his
own table he is very apt to he re-
miss. Indeed 1t is not an uncom-
mon thing, even where he raises
them, for him to send the choicest to
market retaining none, or the poor
est for his own use. There is no
doubt that this is an excellent way
to make money, and would always
be advisable if money making was
the chief and only aim in life.
Health and comfort, which naturally
follow good living, however should
be considered and catered to. No
one has greater need of fresh and
succulent vegetable food thaa the
farmer, who is unable 20 procure
meat, and whose diet is apt to Dor
der upon the "hog and hominy"
plain. Yet it is no uncommon
sight TO see large anG well cultiva
ted farm almost totally devoid Of
garden produce. This is all q mis-
take. Raise plenty of good vegeta-
bles, and eat them constantly in
season. Take only tho surplus to
market, and keep the best for yodr
wife and children The benefits of
this plan will much more than re-
pay the labor in health, strength,
comfort and satisfaction.

Farm and Home.
AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Convention Of Tennessee Farmers.

The idea of holding a convention
of the farmers of Tennessee, at
which questions affecting their in
terest can be discussed with profit,
has been suggested. The Banner
heartily seconds the motion. The
best time possible for holding a
State convention of farmers, would
be in the same week in which the
State fair is held. Farmers will
come here at that time to see what
is put on exhibition and the work of
the fair itself would be stimulated
and the attendance and interest
greatly increased by having dele
gates here from every one of our
ninety-four counties. If this mat
ter is taken into consideration at
once, a large representation of the
farmers of the state could be
brought together at that time to
discuss questions of vital impor-
lance to the growth and prosperity
of our agricultural interests. The
work of the Fair and that of a
ObdIE COIlN CublOu III OuC S1AuO WIN
would in no wise conflict, but
would rather be supplemental to
the interests of each. Their pur
poses are different. They go into
the Fair for observation and COM
parison of products and for friend
ly competition for the attractive
premiums. But they go into con-
vention for consultation on topics
of Importance, and TO- an inter
change of views about the practical
work that meets the farmer at
every turn. Let there be a conven-
ton of the famers. Every other
class is benefited by conventions
of some kind or other, and why
not the farmers? They ought not
only to meet in September and
have a convention, but they ought
to effect a permanent State ongani-
cation with Q subordinate asso-
citation in each grand division of
the State Banner.

TO Every Woman.

Think twice before you believe
every evil story you hear, and think
twenty times before you repeat it,
especially if it is about a woman
Say to yourself "This may not De
true, or it may. be exaggerated" un-
less you have proof of the veracity
of your informant. People some
times tell falsehoods; they often
make mistakes, and they sometimes
"hesr wrong" There is auricular
illusion as well as optical illusion.
Take all these things into consider
alton before you even believe. AS
for repeating the story, ask yourself
if it is necessary. 1t Is sometimes
necessary. Then do it with the fear
of God and the remembrance of the
golden rule before you. Let us give
the helping hand, not the downward
push; so may the angels reach their
hands toward us when we stand in
need.
