A Rainy Night.

IL rained pretty hard the other night,
after most persons had retired to bed.
On retiring, many had left the windows
of their rooms open, il being very sui
try, but no one bargained for a rain to
pour in through the open windows.
lt did, however, in a certain dwelling
house in town, and, SIS a rare event,
the husband was the first to awake and
perceive il, but he kept mum, and was
doing of to sleep again when the wife
awOke. As soon as she heard the pat
ter Of the rain, she seemed to lose all
judgment at once, and Immediately
planted both Of her feet in the small OF
her husbands back, at the same time
catching him by the hair and shaking
his head and screaming:
Get up! Get up, quick It's pouring
right down in torrents, aud all tue win
dows are up"
The husband did not wake up, under
the circumstances, with u clear con-
ceptiOn Of the case; in fact, he found
himself out in the floor before his eyes
were fairly opened or he knew he was
out Of bed. Then he commenced searcl
ing for matches with which to strike a
light, but was 50 slow in finding them
that his wife commenced with:
"Do hurry Mercy how the rain is
coming right in the windows. What on
earth are you doing all this time Pr
He found the matches, lighted the
candle, and Immediately blew it out, as
he just found out the brevity of his
night shirt, and besides he had seen the
proper direction in which to go; but he
had missed the sight Of a rockiug-chair
that stood ia the way, which barked him
on the shins. A rocking-chair is surer
in itsaim than streak of lightning; it
never misses and always hits a man in
out one spot, aud that is just on the shin.
lie did not tell his wife that he had
struck the rockiug-chair, but she knew
he had by the way he put down the WIN
dows when he reached them. He still
limps little, aud is down on rocking
chairs.

What Will You Do 2

Under this head, We find the following
in Woman's Words:
IN this century, when the wager of
oatlle mas cost our land four millions of
her sons when widows mourn and un-
Weuueu thousands are forced to meet
the hard-faced world, from which rose
water theorists would shield them.
America is coming to the rescue Of her
daughters. Can we forget that in ten
thousand families, wives are this mo-
ment waiting in suspense and agony
the return of wretchsd husbands To
homes made hideOus by the drunkard's
sin-wives whose work Of brain or hand
alone keeps their children from want ?
There are delicate, white fingers hold
ing the paper in which we print these
words that will never wear the marriage
ring; there are slight forms bending
over our friendly lines which, not far
down the years, will be clothed in wild
owls weeds. Alas! there are as surely
others who, when they have been woOed
and won, shall find that they are worse
than widowed. And what of these
three classes of women, sweet aud help
less ? Clearly, TO all of them we are de-
claring a true aud blessed gospel, I'm
this good news concerning honest inde-
pendence aud brave self-help! Clearly,
also, no one is wise enough to go through
the assembly of our readers, and tell Us
who in future years shall need a bread
winning weapon with which to defend
herself, and perchance, also, the helpless
ones between whom and the world
there may be no arm but hers. But it
is principle in public as we'll as pri-
vate economy that the wisest foresight
provides for the remOtest contingency;
aud thus, in its full force, all that we
have been saying applies to every
woman who may have read our words.
Suppose that many of you, dear girls,
are destined to a dOwny nest instead of
strOng-winged flight, what then Will
the years spent in making the most Of
the best powers with which God has en-
dOwed you be worse employed than If
you had given them 10 fashion and
frivolity? ? Those years which separate
the graduates diploma frOm-the BRIDES
marriage certificate, can they possibly
be invested better than in the acquisi-
tiOn of some useful trade or dignified
profession Aud then, aside from this,
we would help the youngest OF you to
remember (even in the bewildered years
of her second decade) what noble Mar
garet Fuller said: mo woman can
give her hand with dignity, or her
heart with loyalty, until she has learned
hOtC to stand diOHe.n It is not so much
tUbdt comes to you as tUbdt yOu come to
that determines whether you are a win
ner in the great race Of life. Never for
get that the only indestructable ma
terial in destiny's fierce erucible is
character. Say this not to another
/ say it To yourself.

POLYGAMY. MY.-Delegate Cannon, who
has a few Mormon ladies permanently
installed in his own household, is max
ing himself very industrious at Wash
ington in the pOlygamOus interests Of
the Saints. His latest bright idea is to
appeal to the national authorities not to
execute the law against pOlygamy at.
all, on the ground that no more plural
marriages will take place, and that the
present generation OF well-wived Nor
mons will die of eventually, leaving af-
fairs ia Utah in a perfectly proper con-
ditiou. And all this, Mr.. Cannon saws.
Will trauspire without trouble or mi
feeling. ln the first place, the national
authorities have no choice in the mat
ter. II is their business to enforce the
statutes enacted by Congress, whether
they please to do so or not. 10 the next
place, the MOrmOns have no inclination
or intention Of disseminating their obi
Gus system Of cOncubinage. Plural mar.
riages were never before so numerous At
Salt Lake City as they are at the pres
ent time. and, instead of respecting the
law Of the United States against polvg-
amy, the MormOns glory in defying il.
therefore 1t should be enforced 10 the
letter, or polygamy should be recognized
as legitimate institution, and The law
prohibiting il should be repealed.-S.

Wives

Nol must not forget that all wives are
women.
Metrimony can, no more than law.
develop them past this condition.
1t Is the one benign fact which stead
les the world, and saves the race.
Wives are divided into two classes;
boss wives and baby wives. All the in
termediate grades come to belong To one
or the other Of these divisions when ex-
amiued closely.
With all due respect 10 poetry,
think 10 can be safely said that the
angel dies out of woman at about
nineteen.
Angels, i'm a strictly scientific sense,
do not live beyond puberty. The best
of the few rare specimens that have
been caught, wore short dresses, let
their golden hair fall loose, aud hal
their pockets full of gum-drops and
dime novels.
Wives mean business, and business
ange! is simply uHthinkable.
Boss wives or baby wives is our choice
and IL is curious comment on hus-
bands that they, as a rule, prefer the
baby 10 the boss wives.
Ny friend, Ben Tav lor, who wrote the
well-known lines about the hand that
rocks the cradle being the hand that
rocks the world, probably meant to in
sinuate that wife Is an earthquake, a
proposition that I do not mean To deny.

sentiments uf husbands could be got al,

self in an ardent wish that wives would
cnufne the rocking 10 the cradle.
The boss wife j. the wife who thinks
she rules and doesn't. the baby wife is
. she who governs and doesn't know it.
/ Aud men like 10 be governed by babies,
not bosses.
/ This is awfully humiliating, but it's a
fact
Nothing demoralizes a man so effect
ually a. 20 discover that he has mar
ried somebody that il Drawer aud
stronger than himself.
= baby wife never lets him discover
IL. rs enough for her il everybody

Men have a strange fondness for veal

The n. E. Home for Old Ladies.

The Philadelphia Methodist Episco-
pal Home for aged and intirm mem
bers is most beautifully situated on
Thirteenth street and Lehigh avenue.
Il is large four-stOry building of stone,
considered fire-proOf. Standing, as 1t
does, on little knoll, it commands a
most pleasing panorama Of the sur
rounding country and city. a delight
fui feature of the home is the flood of
sunshine that CLEANS through many
high and broad windows, giving Won
derful air of cheerfulness aud beauty
to everything connected with the es-
tablishment. The entire building is
furnished so comfortably that il may he
said Of it that luxury presides over all
of its arrangements.
There is a commOdious chapel in one
end of the building. Here services are
held every Wednesday and Saturday
afternoons at = O'Clock, clergy from
the different Methodist churches Of
ficiatiug by invitation. IL is here that
one can see to advantage the cOntented
faces Of the aged inmates aglOw with
peace, and, in many cases, with happi-
ness; and, as they pass out after ser
vices, il is a pleasure to gaze on their
neat and tasteful attire, and their faces
suFmounted by the beautiful silver
crown of age, so soon to be changed to
that OF Immortality.
Through the entire building there are
wide and CHEEKY halls, furnished with
sofas aud chairs, and these halls are the
favorite places for promenade and sit
ting, although there are sittiug-rOOms
especially devoted to that purpose.
Everything above and below, in all the
flar ~ - ms rrral Of
and comfort. a beautiful room, fur
nished with every elegance, is called
the "Old folks parlOr." Across the hall
is another drawing-roOm, furnished
with equal beauty and elegance. In one
end stands an excellent piano; but the
most attractive feature of the room is
an exquisite portrait, in crayOn, of Mrs.
Simpson, wife Of the bishop. The kind
eyes and tender aud expressive mouth
Of the earnest face are in entire Keeping
with the philanthropic life of this noble
woman, who is president aud founder
of the Philadelphia Methodist Episcopal
I Home, and whose quiet, unostentatious
manner of doing good lends a special
charm to all her efforts.
No part Of the home is more interest
| ing than the extensive Easements; for
/ il is there that the work of the iustitu-
| ton Is performed. Ia one room stands
/ the mighty engine that heats the eutire
/ building by steam; other apartments
are busy in bread providing, for in this
I institution of over a hundred inmates,
Of both sexes, good many loaves of
bread are consumed at each meal. The
laundry is also in the basement, aud is
provided with all the modern accesso-
ries for dispatch and to tighten labor.
There, also, are the pantries, the but
teries, the dining room, with its shin
ing silver and pretty china and linen,
and the old fashioned kitchen, with its
savory perfumes, and neat and pleasant
looking cooks. Only a visit, however,
will convey any idea of the usefulness
aud exteusiveness Of this busy and
happy institution. All praise is due 10

Grace reflected for a moment, aud

Why Kill Ones self7

Notwithstanding the general impress
sion that the worst use that can be
made of q man is to kill him, there
have been a great many suicides with
in the past few months Whether
these victims Of themselves have found
another world, and one enough pleas
auter To justify their haste in going TO
il, is "A question for theolOgians To de-
eide; but To the ordinary mind, suicide
seems To be a great blunder. As
general rule, even the saintless people
object to leaving this rather uncertain
earth Of ours, so it stands 10 reason that
there is a good deal worth living for,
aud though II may not be at hand at
the immediate moment it is desired,
the whirligig Of time has a way Of
bringing fair amount of cheer and
comfort To every man. Many Of the
prosperous, conteuted men aud women
OF to day can look back to a time when
their troubles were as great as any
suicides have refused to endure, but
from these very troubles sprauR the
ability To enjoy to the uttermOst such
pleasant changes as time finally brought.
Besides, no mau or woman Is so poor
or 80 degraded as to be utterly uncared
| for, and to slaughter the particular
/ friend of ones friends is dreadfully i'm
polite trick for any lady or gentleman
/ 10 indulge in. Tie probability is that
nearly every man who shoots himsef,
or takes poison, does so in a tit Of des-
peratiOn, such as millions Of Others
have conquered, first having suffered
\ by it. II any one cOntemplates pur-
chasing paris green or a revolver 50
as to be in the fashion, let him pause,

Don't FORGET.-A successful busi-
