How to Keep a Husband.

1t is easy enough to win a husband. Most
any attractive little dumping with a bright
eye and a coaxing voice can gather in a no.
BILE husband, but it is pretty difficult to retain
him. Noble husbands are thicker than hair
on a dog, but the grand difficulty is to draw
out their true nobility and secure it at home.
If the wife only understands her business,
she can introduce the soothing racket in her
new fields of operations, and walk away
with the whole business. Most men like to
be loved and soothed. There is something
in the mans great rough, earnest nature that
can be won quicker and easier with gentle
ness and pie than 10y the logic of broomhan-
die and a bill JUS course of Teasoring with
bread and milk diet.
We nave seen q girl, who understood her
business, take a reformed road-agent by the
nose. SO to speak, and lead him through life
in such a way that he wouldn't know but he
is boss of the ranch. So perfect was the de-
fusion that, when she asked him to bring in
a scuttle of coal, or to get up in q night
shirt and kill a burglar, that he knew was
nothing but a bob-tailed cow, four blocks
away, he always went and he felt as if he
counted it . mark of special favor that a
poor, unworthy worm of dust, like him,
should be sought out and delegated to chase
a lame COW across nine vacant lots, with an
old qarrel stave, and clothed in nothing but
q little brief authority and a knit undershirt.
We cannot accurately describe this magic
power of a devoted wife over her husband,
and we do not intend to try it. 1t is an un
seen motive, a nameless leverage that makes
the husband get up in the middle of the night
and aet the pancake batter near the parlor
stove.
A man need not think, because he gets up
and looks for burglars in the Light, and is
otherwise obedient. it is because he has no
backbone. II is simply because he is the
husband of . of whom he ought tO
be proud Boomerang.

MY BRIDE THAT IS TO BE.

o soul of mine, look out and see
Ny bride, my bride that is to be!
beach out with mad, impatient hands
And draw aside futurity-
As one might draw a veil aside;
And so unveil her where she stands,
Madonna-like and %glorifod-
The Queen of undiscovered lands
Of love, to where she beckons me
Ny bride, my bride that is to be.
The shadow Of q willow tree
That waves IN a garden wall
In summer time may never fall
In attitude as gracefully
As my fair bride that is to be;
Nor ever Autumn's leaves of brown
As lightly f1ntter to the lawn
AS fall her fairy feet upon
The path of love she loiters down.
Ger drops of dew she walks. and yet
Not one may stain her sandal wet;
And she might dance upon the way,
Nor crush a single drop to spray,
So airy-like she seems to me
My bride, my bride that is to be.
/ know not if her yes are light
AS summer skies, or dark as night
I only know that they are dim
With mystery. In vain I peer
To make their hidden meaning clear,
While o er their surface, like a tear
That ripples to the silken Drim,
A look of longing seems to swim,
ALI warm and weary-like to me;
And then, as suddenly my sight
Is blinded with a smi e so bright,
Through folded lids ! still may see
Ny bride, my bride that is to be.
Her face is like a night of June
Upon whose brow the crescent moon
Hangs pendant in a diaGem
OF stars with envy light ng them;
And, like a wild cascade, her hair
Floods neck and shoulders, arm and wrist,
Till only through the cleaning mist
I seem to see a siren there,
With lips of love aud melody,
And open arms and heaving breast,
Wherein I fling my soul tn rest,
The while my heart cries hopelessly
For my fair bride that is to be.
Fay, foolish heart and blinded eyes,
Ny bride has need of no Disguise
But'rather let he, come to me
In such a form as bent above
My pillow when in infancy
/ knew not anything but love.
Oh, let her come from out the lands
Of womanhood-not fairy isles
And let her come with womanis hands,
And woman's eyes OF tears and smiles;
With Woman's hopefulness and grace
OF patience lighting up her::face;
And let her diadem be wrought
Of kindly deed and prayerfu thought,
That even over all distress
N ay beam the light of cheerfulness.
And let her feet be brave to fare
The labyrinths of doubt and care,
That, following, my own may find
The path to heaven God designed
Oh, let her come like this to me,
My bride, my bride that is to be.

$500 Weddjng Gift.

Rough Notes, literary and insurance
journal, published at indianapolis, re-
lates the following of a former resident
here which will be read with pleasure by
his numerous friends:
Henry Coe, Manager of the Indanap
oils agency of Drew & Bennett, is known
to he one of the most generous hearted
fellows engaged in the business. When
his efficient clerk, Miss Retta Brown, left
the service of the Office to accept life en-
gagement that required the change of her
name 10 that of Mrs. r. Hymes, one of
the wedding gifts was found to be en-
closed in formidable envelop with the
imprint of the Hartford Insurance Com
pany upon it, which contained a gift of
$500. This generous gift was coupled
with certain conditions requiring time to
fulfi II, but nevertheless it proved to be
good for the $500 To tell the facts as
they are, the envelop contained Hart
ford policy for $500 upon the snug little
dwelling situate in the town of Irving
ton, belonging to the father of Miss Brown,
and was proper gift to make. Time
proved how timely and valuable the gift
really was. Recently the little home was
totally destroyed by fire, the occupants
having barely time to escape from the
flames in their night clothes The old
people knew nothing about the existence
Of the policy, and when they sought tenn
porary relief among their friends in the
city, were surprised beyond measure to
learn that Henry Coe was ready to hand
them draft on Hartford for $500, suff-
cient to rebuild their house and again
make a comfortable home for them.
Young married couples now flock to his
office for similar wedding gifts, which the
old Hartford Insurance Company author
ize him to make so long as he RENTS the
regular premium On each policy issued.

The Coming Fourth.

Appearances are very favorable for a
grand celebration of the coming Fourth
Of July in this city. The Watertown
Rifles, Musical Society Concordia, and
Schiller Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of
Milwaukee, fare taking the initiatory
steps in the matter, leaving it only nec-
essary for concert Of action among our
citizens generally to bring the project to
a successful issue. Clauder's full band
will accompany the Milwaukee Knights
insuring to the occasion some of the
finest music in the West. The Burchard
Guards, of Beaver Dam, have accepted
an invitation from their fellow soldiers
the WATERFOWL Rifles, to be here in full
force and unite in celebrating the ami
versary of our National independence.
We hope proceedings will be at once tax
en- to render the celebration a browning
event for Watertown.

A regular session of the County Court
commenced here to-day (Tuesday). AS
but few cases are on the calendar for
trial, the session will probably last but a
few days.
No cases of small pox having been de-
veloped, the scare is nearly over, though
the house still remains closed. One case
at Hustisford is reported to have died
few days ago, but with that exception all
the cases, both there and here, have
been very light.
Work on the County Insane Asylum

have startedI everything into full growth,

Mr.. McHugh retired from the editorial

commissioners held Monday evening ask
ing that the Board allow Mawson & Far
rer, late proprietors of the Democrat, the
sum of 500 for doing the city printing
the past year. The petition was referred
to the Finance Committee. The Demo
crat has been paid at its own offer for do
ing the work, and now to appropriate to
it 800 in addition would certa inly be the
coolest of all the cool things Of this cool
season. The proposition was hardly en-
titled to the parliamentary courtesy it re-
ceived. We think it is safe to say that
the taxpayers pretty generally protest
against the allowance.
