WHY MEN NEED WIVES.

1t is not to sweep the house, make the
bed, darn the socks and cook the, meals,
that the man chiefly wants a wife. If
thisis all'he needs, servants can do ii
cheaper thana wife. IF this is all, when
young man calls to see lady,7 send
him to the pantry to taste the bread and
cake she has made, send him to inspect
the needle work and bed making, or put
a broom into her hands and send him to
witness its use. Such things arc impor-
tant, and the wise young man will look
after them. But what the true. man
wants is wife s companionship, sym.
pathy and love. A man is sometimes
overtaken by misfortunes, he meet fall
ures and details, trials and temptations
beset him; and he needs some one to
stand by him; and sympathise. all
through hfes through storm and through
sunshine, through conflict and victory,
adverse and fayoring winds,
man needs woman's love. His heart
yearns for Il.

I've seen n fondest hopes decay;
1 never loved tree or flower,
But twas the first to fade away"
True love is good thing to have in a
family, especially if it runs smoothly
But it didn't run that way in this case,
consequently considerable excitement
was created in the city last week among
the numerous families of Ham, over the
intelligence of wedding that had been
previously announced and which didn't
come off according to Hoyle at the ap-
pointed time. The would-be bride be-
longs to one of the most respectable and
aristocratic families and is considered
the belle of colored society here. 1t is
said, on the occasion the matrimonial
alliance was to have taken place, she
was arrayed most eharmingly in hand
some trousseau, and had a large table
spread at her fathers mansion loaded
heavily with a superb bridsl-supper to
be partaken Of by the invited guests inn
mediately after the ceremony was
pronounced. But as there is many a
slip betwixt the cup and the lip, It so
unfortunately (but perhaps fortunately
happened that her intended husband
did not put in an appearance. The sup
per was stored in the cupboard, the
trousseau put in her Saratoga trunk and
the guests dispersed and meandered to
their respective homes, muttering words
derogatory to the character of the in
tended groOmsman, and more chiefly,
perhaps, at the thought of losing such
a grand feast as was displayed on the oc-
casion. If report is true, this is the sec
ond time her bridal gown was donned
and table spread for this fellow Per-
haps the third time will win the charm,
and the trousseau will be brought into
requisition again and a bridal tour made
through the principal cities of the North
in good style and taste, when the loving
couple will return to their beautiful
home in Morristown and settle down in
gingerly-cake love and happiness, never
to again think of their past so-rows.

Gradually the facts come out. In
time we shall know all about the
origin Of the present exodus ofcoIor.
ed people from the South, and who
are responsible for it. There is a
class of Republicans. both in and out
of Congress- who lay claim to the
title of "stalwarts.' and take espe.
eial pride in the designation. "Stal-
wart' and "extreme" are synony-
NOUS terms. It is at the door ofthis
class, that the present migration of
the poor colOred people, who are now
piteeusly begging their way home
from St. Louis and other pointssmust
be laid. Kansas men are largely
responsible fer it. During the last
session Of Congress Senator Ingalls,
introduced bill having Ia view the
colonization of colored men 10 Kan

acts that he would not otherwise do.
Cowardice is bolstered up by the pistol,
when remorse should smite the consci-
enee and correct the mistake, saving the
boy from a wretched life, and making
him useful man. This terrible mania
for carrying pistols is growing to an
alarming extent among the. negroes as
well as the whites. A negro viii give
his last hard earned nickel at day labor
for pistol, and go barefooted for hip
pocket and an old buster to hide the
weapon. Just the other day faithful
old colored woman applied to us for adj
vice and protection against brutal hus-
band, who compelled her to slave for
his wants at the muzzle of Il pistol, con-
stantly fourfshing the weapon and
threatening to blow her brains out 1t

ting ban upon this miserable custom
and that the law be enforced to the let
ter against all, high or low, of its viola
tors.
