Marriage and Home.

True society begins in the home.
When two young people love each other
and marry, they restore the picture or
the apostolic church. They are of one
heart and one soul. Neither do they
say that anything they possess is their
own, but they have all things in COM
mon. Their mutual trust in each other,
their entire confidence in each other,
draws out all that is best in both. Love,
is the angel who rolls away the stone
from the grave in which We bury our
better nature, and it comes forth. Love
makes all things new; makes new
heaven and new earth makes all
cares light, all pain easy. 1t is the one
enchantment of human life which
realizes Fortunio's purse and Aladdin's
palace and turns the Arabian Nights
into mere prose in comparison.
Think how this old story of love Is
repeated forever In ell the novels and
romances and poems, and how we never
tire OF reading about it; and how il
there is 10 be wedding in church all
mankind go, just TO have one look at
two persons who are supposed, at least,
70 be in love, and are supremely happy.
But this is not perfect society. II is too
narrow, too exclusive. 1t shows the
power Of devotion, trust, self-surrender.
that there is In the human heart: and
il is also prophecy of something larger
that is TO come. But it is at least
home, and before real society can come,
true homes must come. As in sheltered
nook in the midst Of the great sea of
ice which rolls down from the summit
Of Mount Blanc is found little green
spot full Of tender flowers, so, In the
shelter OF home in the warm atmos-
phere Of household love, spring up the
pure affections of parent and child
father, mother, son, daughter; of broth
ers and sisters Whatever makes this
insecure, and divorce frequent, makes a
marriage not n union for life, but an ex-
pertinent which may be tried as often as
we choose, and abandoned when We
like. And this cuts up by the roots all
the dear affections Of home; leaves
children orphaned, destroys fatherly
and motherly love, and is virtual dis
solution of society.
/ know the great difficulties Of this
question, and how much wisdom Is re-
duired 10 solve them. But whatever
weakens the permanence OF marriage
tends 10 dissolve society for permanent
homes are 10 the social state what the
little cells are 10 the body. They are
the commencement Of organic life, the
centres from which all organization pro-
ceeds.

The Modern Lie.

The modern lie, says Prof. David Swing
in the Alliance glides from the tongue
with the lightncss and gracefulness Of a
joke. 1t is said that an eminent clergy
man, having taken refuge IN bankruptcy,
and having in few months been seen
again with his former carriage aud span,
explained that he indeed went through
bankruptcy, but that his wife drove the
carriage around. The falsehood Of to-
day is 30 sugar-coaled with laughter that
even q prcsbytory or a council cannot do
otherwise than hear the dear brother
and then take laugh all around. The
Quakers exclude a Christian who would
deceive a creditor, but tliis comes from
The fact that the Quakers have never
cultivated laughter, and hence they are
unable 10 sec the humorous side of such
things as the Myers bank or the State
savings institutions; hut VIC know Of no
other sect or society which treats what
is called falsehood with such undue
solemnitv. II is well known that there
is a society I'm New York i'm whose scs-
sions no-member is permitted TO tell the
truth, but on the contrary each member
must tell one large un-fact or non-fact or
anti-fact at each meeting. If such So
cioty has been formed, they may just as
we'll consider all other societies in the
and and all corporations rs branch asso-
cations. The body need not solicit

Our winter seems TO be among the

inches Of beautiful snow" and we
don't care who the author is, We don't
want any more of that poem. At one
time the mercury ran down IA , below
zero, but did not stay very long, and
in less than 30 days farmers commenced
blowing. House building on new farms
is now the order of the day. and the
prospect is that there will be az many
farms opened aud improved this season
as last. At the u. s. Land Office at
Larned, there has been entered for oc-
cupation within the last four years,
nearly 81 million acres OF land in Paw
nee aud surrounding counties. In adj
dition to the amount OF Government
land taken, the A. L. & S. L. II. X. Co.
have sold in the..same time several hun
dred thousand acres in this district.
Pawnee county had last March popu-
lation Of 5000, a gain OF 400 per cent.
in three years. Ilillsdale county, Mich,
is represented by some twenty families
and more coming, with several dele
gates from the state at large. Our
County Superintendent of Public In
struction is kept busy large part Of
the time organizing new school districts

up in every direction. In the school

of it, and will put up The necessary ar

Shortening the Atlantic Voyage.

1t is proposed 20 shorten the ocean
voyage by looping thousand miles
from It's length. Toseasick travelersthi
is a consummation devoutly 10 be

Newfoundland railroad. The Govern
ment Of Newfoundland has addressed
circular TO number Of prominent
American contractors inviting their at
tention 10 movement which Is ON foot
looking TO the construction Of railroad
across the island from ST. Johns TO st.
Georges Bay, or some other convenient
point on the West coast. A preliminary
survey has proven the practicability OF
the s1neme and the Legislative Assem-
bly OF Newfoundland has resolved 10
vote an annual subsidy Of $4,000 TO
any individual or company who will
take the matter ian hand, besides grant
ing liberal concession OF crown lands
for the purpose. The completion Of the
proposed line would have the effect Of
opening up enormous deposits OF cop
per, iron, coal, nickel, lead aud other
minerals, which are now almost inacces-
spble, while 10 would also cut through
the great pine and spruce forests of the
interior whi0h are also at present utterly
useless. The construction OF the rail-
road would shorten the ocean voyage 10y

In regard to treatment
LITTLE CAN BE DONE
to arrest the progress OF the disease in

should, IL possible, be removed as soon
as attacked, from the source Of the dis
temper; he should be freely exposed 10

regulated, and his strength, so far as
may be. carefully supported. Friction
with olive oil, has been strongly rec
commended; but later experience has
not confirmed the first favorable re-
ports. Like other contagious exanthe-
mata it probably runs a prescribed
course, which cannot be materially
shortened. and it has generally been
deemed wisest TO limit exevtion to the

How They Eat Oysters in China.

In China large quantities Of oysters
are dried instead Of being eaten In the
fresh state. For that purpose they are
taken from the shells, simply plunged
into boiling water and then removed at
once. after which process they are ex-
posed 10 the rays of the sun until every
particle Of moisture has evaporated.
10 that state they will keep for length
OF time, and are said to preserve all the
delicacy Of their flavor. The finest
and fattest bivalves. bred and fed on
the leaves and cuttings Of tho bamboo,
are selected for preparation by this
method, those taken from the natural
beds being inferior IN quality, and not
sufficiently plump TO stand the opera
tion.
