THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIST.


A mans first necessity is to find a
woman physically able to support
the cares and duties which attend
that position. Solomon, who, from a
long experience with wives, ought to
know what constitutes good one,
described his favorite wife as one
who spun wool and flax, and took
care of the house, etc. in short, he
means to say that she shall possess q
large share of physical potency 1t
is the power to do, without which no
woman deserves the name oil wife.
Within the past decade some young
men in choosing wives have dlsre,
garded this advice of Solomon's, and
have since repented. But young
men are fast becoming more careful
and wise in e matter. They are
learning that pretty face and form,
though doub Is desirable accompa-
niments, are 4 the whole requisites
of good wifi 1t is true that there
are some t6ough,less exceptions
among the young men, but they are
simpletons. But above them are
thoughtful men, who do not and who
will not fall in love blindly, but who
are looking for the wife which Solo
moo commends, and who will not be
satisfied without such a one. do
not wish to reveal any ones secrets,
but l have had men say to me when
talking upon the subject of this dis
course, "Girls, nowadays, are too
frail to marry" Does any one think
the young man is to blame who SAYS
this, and then stands aloof from the
marriage altar? Surely not And
does the young lady who is too weak
to sweep her own room or to make
her own toilet, think such young
man will hasten to propose II SO,
she is mistaken; young men OF to-
day are fast becoming wise through
the experience of their unfortunate
friends. Fletcher

If WE KNEW.

II we knew. when walking thoughtless
Through the crowded, dusty way,
That some pearl of wondrous whlteness
Close beside our pathway lay,
We would pause where now we hasten,
We would often look around,
Lest our careless feet should trample
Some rare Jewel in the ground.
II we knew what forms are fainting
For the shade that we should fling
If we knew what lips are parching
For the water we should bring
We would haste with eager footsteps.
We would work with willing hands,
Bearing cooling cups of water,
Planting rows of Shading palms,
IL we knew that feet were weary,
Climbing up the hills Of pain
By the world cast out as evil.
Poor, repented Magdalens-
We no more would dare to scorn them
With our Pharasaic pride,
Wrapping close our robes about us,
Passing on the other side.
If we knew. when friends around us
Closely press to say . goodbye"
Which among the lips that kiss us
First among the flowers should lie.
While like rain upon their faces
Fall our bitter, binding tears.
Tender words of love eternal
We would whisper in their ears.

Next morning a sturdy peasant,
named Hans, came that way with
his numbering ox-cart.
"Oh, these lazy people J" said he,
"there is this big stone in the middle
OF the road, and no one will take the
trouble TO put it out of the way"
And 80 Hans went on his way, scold-

Next came gay soldier along.
