PRAISE Your WIFE.-Praise your
wife, man; for PHYS sake give her
little encouragement; it won't hurt her:
She made home comfortable, your heart
bright and shining; food agreeable-for
pity's sake tell her you thank her, II
nothing more. She don't expect it; it
will make her eyes open wider than
they have these ten years, but it will do
her good, and you too. There are many
women to-day thirsting for words OF
praise, the language of ENCOURAGEMENT.
Through summers heat, through win

A Low VOICE IN WoMAN.-Yes, we
agree with that old poet who said that
a low, soft voice was an excellent thing
in woman. Indeed we feel inclined to
go much further than he has on the sub
ject. and call it one of her crown1Dg
charms No matter what other attrac.
tions she may still have; she may be as
fair as the Trojan Helen, and as learned
as the famous Hypatria of ancient
times she may have all the accom-
plishments considered requisite at the
present day, and every advantage that
wealth can procure. aud yet if she lack
a low, sweet voice, she can never be
really fascinating. How often the spell
Of beauty is broken by coarse, loud talk
ing! How often you are irresistibly
drawn to plain, unassuming woman,
whose soft, silvery tones render her
positively attractive. Besides, we fancy
we can Judge of the character by the
voice the bland, smooth, fawning tone
seems to us to betoken deceit and by
pocrisy, as invariably as the musical,
subdued voice indicates a genuine re-
finement. In the social circle, how
pleasant il is to hear woman talk In
that low key which always charscterizes
the true lady! In the sanctuary OF
home. how such voice sOothes the
fretful voice and cheers the weary hus
band! How sweetly such cadences
float through the sick chamber; and
around the dying bed, with what solemn
melody do they breathe prayer for a
departing soul.-Lodies' Repository.

DEAR FARMER.-It is a long time
since l have written to you. 1t has
not been because have not wanted
to, but because have been very busy
and we have had q great deal of sick
ness in our family this winter, and
items are scarce, or have been.
Well, we have had u fearful snow
storm, and the snow is now nearly
three feet deep in the woods, and the
roads are-well there is no roads at
present.
If any OF your readers are in
want of any snow, just let them come
out here, We can supply them.
Mr.. Geo. Shaw is just recovering
from a run of typhoid fever. He has
little child quite sick.
Our school is being taught by H.
Crocker again this winter. It has
been closed for this week on account
of the storm.
Everybody is rejoicing over the
ncws that the r. r. bonds were car
ried. Now let the company run the
road through this town, and locate a
depot on section Is, which will be in
the most convenient place for the
towns of Elmo, Parkers Prairie, In
man. East Battle Lake, and the south
half of Deer Greek, besides being Il
great deal better. rs we'll as shorter
route than on either of the other sur

will consider that our share of bond tax

Please excuse my neglect, and l
will try and do better in the future.
