Happy Homes.

Few homes l think are what, under
Gods blessing, they should be. 1t re-
quires but little effort to make home
cheerful and happy. There should be
a deep and abiding love between hus-
band and wife, parents and children,
and tender forbearance toward each
other faults. When these exist they can
not but be Edens of love; but, alas! how
often do we see it otherwise. The hus-
band who has taken a solemn vow to
love and cherish, and the wife to love
and honor, are drifting slowly but sure
ly apart. They do not understand each
other, though in name they have been
one for years. They have different con-
ceptions of each others duties and can
not act in concert. Instead of having
quiet, loving talk, and trying to draw
near together, there are, perhaps, sharp
or cruel words and the breach widens.
Unhappiness follows and each lays the
burdens of faults on the others Shout
ders. o., erring judges! do We not know
that "He who knOweth the thoughts
and intents of every heart" will not
thus Judge? First cast the beam out
of thine own eye and then shalt thou
see clearly to pull the mote out of thy
brothers eye"
The heart of woman is a fragile thing
and few men understand it. 1t lives
and flourishes in the sunlight of love,
but withers like the mimosa at the
touch of an angry frown or a cruel
word. 1t cannot even thrive in the at
mosphere of indifference. How many
hearts are now struggling for existence
in this sitting atmosphere. Only few
kind words would admit the sunshine.
An approving look or smile, simple
Thank you" for any service done
would amply repay the toll.
Husband be ever courteous and re-
spectful to your wife; grant her little
requests, sometimes though at your own
convenience, and your self-sacrifice will
be rewarded. Remember it is your
prerogative to throw around her the
bulwark of your love. and it should be
so deep and strong that no careless or
cruel missile should ever enter its hal
lowed precincts. but how often do you
trample upon this right, how often a
harsh or impatient word or tone which
is remembered by you no longer than 1t
takes you TO utter it, is winged shaft
that strikes and quivers in a loving
heart. Husbands, whose wives are not
what you think they should be, who APP
pear to be fault finding and capricious,
try different plan from that which you
are now pursuing. Give them deeds OF
kindness and words of love, and see il
your :. desert will not soon rejoice and
blossom as the rose. I'D Woman, in
Louisville Courter-,JOttrndL. '

to mere touch of his lips to her cheek.
He thought he was being cheated and
hence his effort to recover.

THE Whitaker trial at West Point
terminated on the 2Sth. In summing up
Recorder Sears argued that all the testi-
mony went to show that Whitaker was the
author Of his own assault; that he was Of a
morbid temperament, which was aggravated
by the fear that he would not graduate,
bv an unreQuited love affair,
and by other causes. Whittaker's counsel
maintained, on the other hand, that the
Cadet was Of cheerful temperament, that
he had no reasonable cause for anxiety as to
his passing examination, and no conceivable
motive for the preparation of the fraud with
which he was charged.

An institution peculiar to this
country and climate, writes Colorado
correspondent, is the burrO mule-a
cross between half-civilized mule and
a iackass. 1t is a long-eared concern
about the size of Newfoundland dog.
Its carry ing capacity is marvellous, es-
pecially as discovered by a Mexican.
His entire family of a wife and three or
four kinky-haired children ride into
town, and there is nothing visible hut
the burro's long ears. These animals
sell for from $50 to $40, and should
bring more, considering that they eat
little or nothing. One will live week
by chewing a canvass-back ham sack,
and the smelling of an UPSTREAM will
afford it sumptuous lunch between
meals. It is well these animals eat
nothing when they come into the pos
session of the Mexicans, for Mexican
has little himself to eat and none to
give away.
