A CHEERFUL WIFE.

Better than gold to a man is
cheerful wife. But be must dc
his part toward making her cheer

to marry happy woman. But

thought of the long evenings wheo
he wouldn't come at all, or his
bringing some one home to dinner
without warning or preparation ;
Of his awful profanity over so
trifing a matter as the gas bill.
She had no idea, in fact, that
there could be anything but hap
piness in married life, and she had
determined to to happy and to
distribute her happiness to those
about her. 1t is not often her
fault if she doesn't succeed. Men,
as rule, do not exert themselves
to secure their wives happiness.
They know that it requires a con-
slant and great effort to possess
property and be secure in it's value
in the midst Of constant CONNER
cial changes. The cbeerfulness,
the happy, hopeful character
which every woman displays at
the beginning of marriage is not
so easily lost as a fortune it re-
quires but small share of the at
tention, and yet she often does not
get that little share. Therefore a
word to the girls in this connec'
tion is in order; beware of a man
who doesn't know enough about
cheerfulness TO undertand it's value
in daily life. Such q man would
improve the first opportunity to
grind the cheerfulness out of his
home, to frighten a sunbeam into
shadow, and then wonder what
is the matter. Such is no better
than no husband at all and when

give you at least some chance to
be happy far into the life beyond

SOME MEMS WIVES.

Three men of wealth meeting not
long since in New York, the con-
7ersation turned upon their wives.
Instead Of finding fault with wo-
men in general, and their wives in
particular, each one obeyed the
wise mans advice, and gave hon.

two young gentlemen were going
home from party in Philadel-

gang OF rowdies. The youths

skill in boxing. Standing back to

Armed with as many stones as
they could pick up, they put
themselves in position and waited

attack. He, evidently thought the
position too formidable for him TO
carry by assault. After circling

he returned to the farm house.

KISSING AND TELLING OF
1T.


the right woman or the right man
kisses the wrong woman-and
both sometimes happen-it does
not always follow that there is
disturbance about it. The world
+ can never know how much unau-
thorized kissing has been done and
forgiven and forgotten. In the
naturally wild and audacious CO.
reer of the human kind there is a
great deal Of that sort Of business,
and it is just as we'll that it isnot
cruelty dragged before the public
on every occasion. If that were
always done it would be very dis
couraging tooa reasonable delight
full pastime which more or less
concerns everybody. Many of the
cares and trials Of this world find
relief in a kiss ; it is a very little
thing, uncommonly sweet for it's
size, and one of the few luxurles
of this world which we'll organized
people never get too much of.
Nobody who understands even
the rudiments of kissing disdains
it's practice, and those who have
been so fortunate as to reach
something Of the science of the
|. thing are not easily restrained in
their pursuit Of supreme happi-
ness. A kiss doesn't cost any
thing, and It's pretty small mat
ter to make a disturbance about,
and most people will endure q
great deal of kissing without get
ting angry about it and regard
ing it as a misfortune to make
public complaint. Now and then,
no 7ever, human nature is put to
an awful test in this way, and hu-
man nature breaks down. A man
may not be so particular about
putting his kisses where they will
do the most good; the chief aim
of man is to get the kiss, and he
is frequently too hasty and too
reckless about it. But woman
is apt TO be a little more consid
crate in her preferences.
There was an Illinois woman,
now, Who had a prejudice against
being kissed BY tailor-possibly
because the other eight parts of
the man were not around-al-
though the tailor was perfectly
free to say that he had no preju'
dice against kissing the lady. He
regarded her as sweet enough to
kiss and frankly told her so,
There are some cold, proud wo
men who in some unaccountable
way have got into this world who
would not be affected by any
such talk, but the number Of these
is very, very few. Whether the
Illinois woman was one of this
rare kind or not is still matter
of dispute. 1t is also undecided
whether she told the tailor he wa:
= handsome man she insists that
being a truthful woman, she couiC
not have done so conscientiously
while he takes the opposite Side
of the question. There is, ho"
| ever, no controversy about the on
point that he did kiss her, and at
