L'amOur dun mari.

chose assez dif6cile de le conser
yer. Les maris mobiles sont asse1

de question est de faire ressortir
ses qualities.

vainqueur de la grande question
de subjuguer ce damne mari. Pres.
que tous les hommes aiment a etre
choyes malgr6 leur nature brutale,
ct sa conquette est plus facile par
la doucenr que par la rigueur. Les
tartres aux pommes le captivent
plus vite que lie manche a balai, ou
les mauvaises paroles. Une chose
quill est difficile de pardonner a
sa femme c'est cette curiosite de.
mesuree de vouloir METRE lie nez
partout gu le mari a le malhe ur de
fermer ouelque chose a clef. II y
a des femmes qui eprouvent un
plaisir a Sc rendre desagr6ables a

peler que lEcriture dit maris res

non, nous nous trompons, c'est le
contraire. Ily a dependant des
femmes qui Sc reservent'une bonne

ments de pEcriture. Celle qui
suivra ces enseignements sera sire

DOBBINS' ELECTRIC SOAP,

Having obtained the agency Of
this celebrated soap for Abbeville
and vicinity, | append the opin-
ion of some of our best people as
to its merits. We have been
using for the last 3 months the
Dobbips' Electric soap, made by
I. L. Cragin & Co Philadelphia,
Pa, and find that it washes and
cleans the clothes more rapidly
and more thoroughly and Is in
the end cheaper than any other
soap we have ever used in our
family. We can heartily recon.
mend it and a single trial will
convince all of the correctness Of
our assertions.
VIM. MoUroN.
E. I. ADDISON.
ARCHIE Young.
A. LACoUR.
I desire all my friends and Gus
toners to give this splendid soap
one trial SO they may know just
how good the best soap in the
U. S. is. Give it a trial and I
am sure you will use no other.
