The Nuptial Passion In Women.

Marrying a Spoiled Child.

The Wheel Horse.

There is a wheel horse in every family
some one who takes the load on all occasions.
1t may be the older daughter, possibly the
father, but generally it is the mother. Ex-
ira company, sickness, gives her heavy in
crease of the burden she is always carrying.
Even summer vacations bring less rest and
recreation to her than to others of the family.
The city house must be put in order to
leave the clothing for herself and the chill
dren which a country sojourn demands
seems never to be finished and the excursions
and picncs which delight the heart Of the
young people are not wholly delight to the
"provider." l once heard a husband say,
"My wife takes her sewing machine into the
country and has a good time doing up the
fall sewing" At the time did not fully ap-
preciate the enormity of the thing; but it
has ranked in my memory, and appears to
me now an outrage. How would it be for
the merchant TO take his books into the
country with him to go over his accounts for
little amusement Suppose the minister
writes up few extra sermons, and the
teacher carries Hebrew grammar and per-
fects himself in new language, ready
for the opening of school in the fall
Woman's work is never DONE She would
never have it done. Ministering to father
and mother, cherishing her husband, nour-
ishing and training her children. No true
woman wants to see her work done. But
because it is never done she needs resting
times. Every night the heavy truck is
turned up the wheel horse is put up into the
stable, and labor and care are dismissed till
the morrow. The thills of the household
van cannot be turned up at night, and the
| tired housemother cannot go into quiet
stall for repose. She goes to sleep tonight
feeling the pressure of tomorrow. She
must have had "an eye" over all until every
one was in bed, and must keep an eye ready
to open at any moment to answer the need
of children, and open both eyes bright and
early to see the machinery well started for a
new day. There is never any time that
seems convenient for the mother of little
children to leave home even for day, but
with little kindly help from her husband,
and little resolution in herself, she may 60,
and be SO much the better for it that the
benefit will overflow from her into the whole
houshold. She will bring home some new

Our Little Friend the Chipmuck.

The chipmuck likes to dig. his hole in
these dry banks, and you may often hear
rustling in the thick beds of dry leaves loud
enough to attract your attention from dis
tance Of fifteen or twenty rods. A cautious
approach to the spot will show you a couple
of chipmucks chasing each other round and
round through the leaves. They will cease
from their sports as you come near, but if
you sit down quietly they will soon conclude
that you are not dangerous and commence
again. They often include the trunk of a
fallen tree in their circuit, running along its
whole length; then plunging like divers
into the leaves they rush headlong through
them, seeming greatly to enjoy the noise and
stir which they make. They play in this
way for hours if one stops the other turns
back to look for him and away they go
again. The chipmuck can climb as well as
any squirrel and frequently does SO when
the coast is clear, but if danger threatens he
makes haste to descend. lie never can
realize that tree affords him the least Sc
curity. If you get so near before he sees
you that he dares not come down, he plainly
considers the situation to be very serious
Sometimes he will make desperate rush
for the ground within reach of your hand
and as soon as you withdraw he comes down
and scampers away, evidently feeling that
he has got well out of bad scrape. Let
his larger cousins, red, black or gray depend
on trees for safety if they choose his trus,

easy impudence is in striking contrast with
his panic-stricken condition when treed.-

Never Forget Anything.

Charge your mind with your duty. That
is largely the true definition of faithfulness.
Bad memory and mistakes are used as apol-
oges a great deal oftener than necessary. A
boy beginning business life will generally
lose his place who pleads such an excuse
more than once or twice. A successful bus
iness man says there were two things which
he learned when he was eighteen, which was
afterwards of great use to him, namely,
"never to lose anything, and never to forget
anything" An old lawyer sent him with an
important paper, with certain instructions
what to do with it, "But," inquired the
young man, "suppose lose it what shall
do then 7" The answer was with the ut
most emphasis, " You must not lose it |" al
don'G mean to-" said the young man, ." but
suppose should happen to Z" Z" But say
you must not happen to | shall make no
provision for any such occurrence. You
must not lose it," This put a new train of
thought into the young mans mind, and he
found that If he was determined TO do a
thing he could do it. He made such provi-
sion against every contingency that he never
lost anything. He found this equally true
about forgetting. If a certain matter OF
importance was TO be remembered, he pinned
it down on his mind, fastened it there and
made ii stay.

Scientific View Of Love Matches.

Happy unions are always voluntary, not
only at the beginning, but as long as life
lasts. Love can rot be made free by a
change of statutes. 1t can not be bound or
loosed under any circumstances. If the
state should listen to the petitions of those
who ask that sex relations be exempted
from CONTROL the experience of a quarter of
a century would convince the world that the
old, long-tried, monogamic solution of the
sex question is the wise one. There are
evident reasons why such result would
come. In all the past emotional experience
of the race it has been found impossible to
create an intense idealization of more than
one object at one time; it has been found,
too, that when such idealization has been
tested by knowledge and time it does not
diminish, but deepen and that the effect Of
this long.continued idealizaton is TO create
the best conditions of development, both for
those who exercise it and for those toward
whom it is directed. Now, If the best con-
ditions of happiness are once secured they
should be maintained. 1t is not possible to
bring out all the results of this mutual sex
idealization in any short period of associa-
tion. The very fact that the association is
permanent one gives it earnestness and
dignity. 1t would not be possible to extract
from DalI-uOZen aSSOclatlOuS, extending
over twenty-five years, the same amount of
fine character-developmen that would come
from one fortunate association lasting for
the same time. When we are once sure of
the wisdom, integrity, and affection of some
friend through long experience, we spend no
more brain-activity in learning his peculiari-
ties of character and in adapting ourselves
to them. The association of husband and
wife is rather moral and affectional than IN
tellectusl. 1t is rest, a certainty, point
of departure for all other activities. Once
settled, and safely settled, we waste no
power in readjusting these relations, but
take the fruit as it ripens, without the need
of uprooting the old and planting new trees.
There is abundance of unanswerable scien-
tifc proof of better results in character and
in happiness from long-continued sexual as
sociation than from transient and varied
connections. For the state to grant to indi-
viduals the power of forming and dissolving
such associations at will would be to grant
them power of injuring themselves by an
unwholesome experimentation American.
