Never both be angry at once.
Never taunt with past mistake.
Let kiss be the prelude of a rebuke.
Let self-abnegation be the greatest earthly
blessing.

If you must criticise, let it be done loving
ly.
Make marriage matter of moral judg
ment.
Marry into family which you have long
known.
Never make remark at the expense of the
other.
Never talk at one another either alone or
in company.
Give your warmest sympathy for each 9TH
er's trials.
If one is angry, lot the other part the lips
only for a kiss.
Neglect the whole world besides rather than
one another.
The very highest felicity is in the mutual
cultivation of usefulness.
Never speak loud to one another unless the
house is on fire.
Let each strive to yield oftenest to the
wishes of the other
Always leave home with loving words for
they may be tho last.
Marry into different blo0d and tempera-
ment from your own.
Never deceive, for the heart once misled
can never trust again.
1t is the mother who moulds the character
and fixes the destiny of the child.
Never find fault unless il is perfectly certain
fault has been committed.
Do not herald the sacrifices you make for
each others tastes habits and preferences.
Let all your mutual accommodations be
spontaneous, whole-souled and free as air.
hesitating or glum yielding to the wishes
of the other always CRATES upon a loving

They who marry for physical characteris-

Consult one another in all that comes with

Never reflect on a past action which was
done with a good motive and with the best
judgment at the time.
The beautiful in heart is of million times

A SOUNDING Board IN THE MoUTH.-The
'.resonator" is the name given by Signor
Bach TO his new invention for increasing the
volume and power of the human voice when
singing. This appliance is based on the Of
fee performed by the hard portion of the
palate, which acts as a kind of sounding
board when the mouth is open for singing,
and it is for the purpose of Increasing the eff.
ficiency of the palate in this respect that the
resonator has been designed. 1t consists of
gold plate fitted TO the roof of the mouth,
close above the upper teeth-much in the
same way as the gold plate of set of arti-
fetal teeth, the plate having attached to it
another gold plate, which is convex down.
ward in both directions. A hollow sounding
board, as it may be termed, is thus formed,
and is said to have q remarkable effect on the
volume of sound producible by the person
wearing the instrument. 1t is also stated that
the apparatus has no prejudicial effect upon
the distinctness of articulation, and that it can
be used without the slightest inconvenience
after moderate practice.

OBITUARY.

WILLIAM d. THOMAS, of Paris, died
Sunday afternoon, April 10th, A. d.
1881, at quarter past five o'clock, OF
congestion of the lungs. He had been
afflicted ith bronchial difficulty for
about fourteen years but was strong
and able to resist its wearing until a
short time before his death. He had
the characteristics of the early settler,
industry and honesty. He was born
in Wales, February Is, 1910, and for
many years was teamster. He was
married to Ann Davis at LlanwenOg,
Cardigan shire, S. W., June 10, 1882.
He did not like the oppression of his
native country. He believed there
was a better future for him in the far
West. On the 14th day of April, A.
d. 1886, with his then young, active
wife and two little children, he left re-
lations, friends and home forever for
the new world, which his strong hope
had pictured out as his destiny. That
parting in life was sad enough. but this
one in death is beyond expression.
They were forty days on the ocean,
besides nearly one week in Liverpool,
waiting for the vessel to sail. During
this time the thoughts of homo and of
the angry ocean and strange, distant
land made anxious appeals for the lit
tie family to return. They came to
New Ysrk, then up the Hudson River
and Canal to Buffalo, thence on Lakes
to Cleveland, and from there to Ra-
VIENNA, arriving at the old Exchange
Hotel June 10, 1886. They could not
speak a word of English and were $50
in debt. They had, however, health
and q willingness to work. For years
he worked as q farm laborer in Sum-
mer and threshed with the old hickory
fail in Winter. Those for whom he
worked will ever remember how faith
full he was. He was the principal farm
employe of Zenas Kent for seven con-
secutive years without fault being
found, and he wanted no better en-
ployer. David Jennings and family
were particularly kind to him, and for
them he always cherished warmth
of feeling that true gratefulness only
can measure towards those who lend a
hand when in need. He
moved to Paris April 1, 1S46, and after
hard work and studied economy he
became the owner of large, fine farm
and q pleasant home one-half mile
west of the Center of Paris. He leaves
his wife and five children, viz: Sarah
J. Davis, d. w. Thomas, Mary A.
Davis, John r. Thomas and w. B.
Thomas, and % grand children, to
his loss and cherish the memo
ry of truly good man. He was big
hearted man, tender. kind, easily
moved in sympathy, conscientious,
honest. He always loved the right.
In politics he was an earnest Democrat,
in religion liberal thinker, socially a |
warm friend. His funeral took place |
April 13, at one p. NJ, at
he family residence. Rev. D. G.
Thomas, of Niles, late of Paris, spoke
IN Welsh, and Rev. A. M. Hills, of
Ravenna. in English.
