deed, all classes of business men complain
that employees of the department are un-
able to meet many payments that ought to
be forthcoming, and are refusing to make
investments that were contemplated at

that should go to- the extinguishment of
debts, or to the purchase of comforts for
households, has been turned into Hubbelfs

soaked ward bummers. A prominent

secured as usual, and had help employed
for the fall rush there were ne orders
forthcoming. and that he could trace this
effect to no other causee than the inroads
which political assessment had made upon
the salaries of clerks.

A strange affair occurred in Columbus,
Indiana, few days ago, showing what
an ordinary portrait will do to disturb
woman's mind. Mrs. Jennie Council

who had many friends and admirers. For
several months past she has been in
Iowa, and while there was married to
Mr. William Griffin, former acquaint-
ancc. They returned to the home Of the
bride, 10 Columbus The first object
that met her gaze on entering the parlor
was life-size portrait of her former hus-
band. The sight Of the familiar features
almost ovcrcamc her, aud the familiar
surroundings so wrought upon her MS to
cause a complete revulsion OF feeling to-
ward her new husband After brooding
over her trouble for day or two she
confessed all 10 her husband and d.
carcd she never could love him and be-
sought him for the sake Of both TO leave
her She persisted in this request until
an attorney was called in, who drew up
statement in which each exoneraied
the other from all wrong doing, but
stated that their marriage was rash
mistake, and mutually agreed TO sepa-
rate aud each grant the other divorce
when the law would permit. Mr.. Crit.
fin pleaded with his wife to change her
mind, but to no avail lie then left tho
house and the town TO become again u

What Woman Can Do.

Woman need not become u coarse,
noisy, brawling politician in order to be
useful ; nor wear pantaloons, nor try TO
unsex herself generally. She cannot,
if she tries, get out OF the place for
which God made her The old hen
can't crow, work at it as hard as she will.
AS wife and mother, woman can
make the fortune and happiness of her
husband and children; and, if she did
nothing else, surely this would be sufii-
cicnt destiny BY her thrift, prudence
and tact, she can secure to her partner
and to herself a competence in old age,
no matter how small their beginning or
how adverse fate may be theirs. By
her chcerfulness she can restore hor hus-
bands spirit, shaken by the anxiety of
business BY her tender care she can
often restore him to health, if disease
has overtasked his power. BY her coun-
sci and love she can win him from bad
company, if temptation in an evil hour
has led him astray. BY her examples,
her precepts, and her sex's insight into
character, she can mould her children,
however adverse their dispositions, into
noble men and women And, by lead
ing in all things a true and beautiful
life, she can refine, elevate and spiritual
izc all who come within reach 80 that,
with others of her sex emulating and
assisting her, she can do more 10 rogener-
ate the world than all the statesmen or
rcformcrs that ever legisaied

Words of Wisdom.

In the battle of life no man can win
by firing blank cartridges.
The most brilliant qualities become
useless when they are not sustained by
force of character.
The idle man travels so slowly Tint
even poverty easily overtakes him at the
first turn Of the road.
We cannot conquer fate and neccs-
sity, but we can yield to them in such
way as to be greater than if we could
The mind profits by the wreck of
every passion, and we may measure our
road to wisdom by the sorrows we have
undergone.
AS selfish and ill-bred as the mass Of
mankind are, | prefer to live with them
rather than 60 into solitude and try to

ONE OF THESE DAYS.
Curled in the window.seat,
Watching the leaves
Whirling whilst raindrops beat
Down on the caves,
Dark seemed this world that day,
We two alone,
Changing to god the gray,
Lived in our own.
Dreaming as childhood dreams,
Life must be good,
Whispering Ct nobler themes
Scarce understood.
Dreaming all love was true
Eager with praise,
Smiling at all we'd do
"One of these days"
Here to the window-seat
Came you and |,
Whilst with his noiseless feet
Time hurried by,
Here as in childish days
Used we TO dream,
Careless of wiser ways,
Love was our theme.
Sometimes | wondered, dear,
How 1t should last,
But the next moment, dear,
Doubts were all past.
Past as you answer me,
"Love never strays,
Happier still wen be
One of these days"
Now by the w;ndow-seat
Stand alone,
Whilst the wind drives the sleet
Making its moan.
Clouds might obscure the sun,
Sometimes of old,
But while Hopes sands do run,
Hearts find the gold
Love, when the angel band
Called you away,
When in my clasp your hand
Passively lay,
Family your whisper then
Answered my gaze,
Love, we shall meet again
One of these days"
