A Word on the Husbands Side.

"Attention, ladies!" Do you ever think
when your husband comes h ,me at noon
or night that he may have been subjected
to things which have annoyed and dis
turbed him, and which have Jared upon
his nerves until he is completely unstrung2
He does not repeat his trials to you, be-
cause he thinks that since you cannot re-
lieve him of them there is no need to dis
turb you with them While it is we'll for
husbands to give their wives knowledge
of their business, still it is not at all neces-
sary that they should be troubled with the
little cares and annoyances which are of
daily, almost hourly, occurrence in busi-
ness life. There is no one exempt. Dear
wives, when you have had an unusually
trying day, one in which ''everything has
gone wrong," as is often the case, don't,
the minute your husband opens the door,
begin to pour out your grievances in such
a torrent that he will wish ne hao gone
any place rather then come home. Men
want rest, quiet. comfort and pleasure
when they come home. They should also
be willing to sympathize with their wives
in their domestic troubles and tribula-
tions. But if a man is so selfish that he
will not do it voluntarily, he can never
be made to do 1t by fretting and hagging
There are some men so happily constitut
ed that they Can leave business outside
the door when they enter their homes;
there a1e Others whose burdens are never
lightenea until they have placed them
upon the shoulders of wives So there are
wives strong and brave enough to bear
their own troubles without their friends

How to Cure a Cold.
Halls journal OF Health

Halls Journal OF Health.
A bad cold, like measles or mumps, or
other similar ailments, will run it's course
of about ten days, in spite of what may
be done for it. unless remedial means are
employed within forty, y,elght hours of it's
inception. Many a useful life may be
spared to be increasingly useful, by cut
ting cold of, in the following safe and
simple manner. On the first day of taxi
ing cold; there is very unpleasant
sensation of chilliness. The moment YOU
observe this 60 to your room and stay
there; keep it at such temperature as
will entirely prevent this chilly feeling.
even if it requires a hundred degrees of
Fahrenheit. In addition, put your feet
in water, half leg deep, as hot as you
can bear it, adding hotter water from
time to time for quarter of an hour, so
that the water shall be hotter when you
take your feet out than when you put
them in :; then dry them thoroughly, and
put on warm thick woolen stockings.
even If it be summer, for summer colds
are the most dangerous; and tor twenty
four hours, eat not an atom of food; but
drink as largely as you desire of any
kinds of warm teas, and at the end of
that time, if not sooner, the cold will be
effectually broken, without any medi-
cine whatever.
Efficient as the above means are, not
one in thousand will attend to them,
led on as men are by the hope that a cold
will pass off OF itself; nevertheless this
article will now and then pass under the
eye of a wise man, who does not choose
to run the double risk of taking physic
and dying too.

The Cause of the Ram.

Away by the shore of the ocean blue
In peacefulness known to the lonely few,
The wife and child of sailor true
Lived and toiled together.
Full many weird and pleasing tale
Was told the boy, of sea and sail,
OF floating berg and northern gale,
Ofclear and cloudy weather.
Adown the west the king of day
Was fastening through the gates away,
In all his golden bright array,
When home returned the skipper.
At evening, strolling on the sand,
He told the boy Of many land,
And slowly traced with his braWny hand
The cross and the starry dipper,
Twas midnight, aud, unfit for rest,
The boy stole softly from his nest
TO watch the moon in clouds of the west
Play hide and seek with the water,
To laugh at the wind in its wild, wild race,
And again the stars of the heaven to trace:
But he thought that the dipper was out o.
place,
And vailed Andromeda's daughter.
The sea was mad, for the wind was high,
The huge black clouds would soon 20 by,
But down fell torrents of rain from the sky
And woke the sleeping skipper.
And suddenly long and loud laughed he,
When the voice of his child broke forth in
glee,
ooh, father the king of the northern sea
Has upset his starry dipper."

Can you make a rose OF lily-just one?
Or catch a beam of the colleen sun?
Can you count the raindrops as they fall:
Or the leaves that tlutter from the tree-tops

Can YOU rur like the brook and never tire?
Can you climb like the vine beyond the

Can YOU fly like Il bird, or weave nest,
Or make but one feather on robins breast?
Can YOU build a cell like the bee, or spin
Like the spider, a web so fine and thin?
Can YOU lift a shadow from off the ground?
Can you see the wind. or measure sound?
Can YOU blow bubble that will not burst"
Can YOU talk with echo and not speak first?
Oh, my dear little boy! you are clever and
strong,
And you are so busy the whole day long,
Trying as hard as II little boy can
TO do big things like "grown up' man!
Look at me darling! tell you true,
There are some things you can never do.

with them; there are others wne would
feel that they were specially abused if
they were denied the, to them. great priv
ilege of relating, minutely, their every
trouble. It takes all kinds of people to
make a world. so it will be seen that no
general advice can be given that will
reach every case, but if wives, when they
are inclined to blame their husbands for
this or that defect in their characters,
would only Try to imagine themselves in
their places, perhaps they would be more
lenient. In these bard times, when busi-
ness is so dull and money so scarce, the
care of family IS no light responsibility.

good authority that the reason for
Mr.. Osborne's resignation is be-
cause the business has not been re-
munerative for some time past.
Both the outgoing and incoming
baggage agents are men we'll
adapted to the business.
During last week, we learn, two
dastardly attempts were made to
poison Major Isaac Kinley, editor
of the Commoner. The first was
through the medium of oranges, a
sack Of which had been left at his
residence. Supposing them to be
the gift of some friend, on entering
the house he com menced to eat one
but, finding that the fruit tasted
bitter, he threw it away. Shortly
afterward he was taken with
spasms and, for a time, his life was
in danger. Fortunately he had
taken sufficient of the poison to
cause him to vomit and this re-
lieved him and probably saved his
life. 1t Is said that the water ola
kept in the house was also poi
soned and 1t may be that Major
Kinley drank from this. The
Major, we are glad to learn, is now
convalescing and will be himself
again in day or two.
