Sweet Home.

When two young people love each
other and marry, they restore the pic
ture of the apostolic church. The are
of one heart and soul. Neither do they
say that anything they possess is their
own, but they have all things in COM
mon. Their mutual trust in each other
draws all that is best in both. Love is
the angel who rolls the stone from the
grave in which we bury our better
nature, and it comes forth. Love makes
all things new; makes all cares light,
81 pain easy. 1t is the one enchant-
ment in human life which realizes For

mere prose by comparison. Before
real society can come, true homes must
come. AS In sheltered nook in the
midst of great sea of ice which rolls
down the summit of Mount Blanc Is
found little green spot full of tender
flowers, so in the shelter of home, In
the warm atmosphere Of household
love, spring up the pure affections Of
parent and child, father, mother, son,
daughter; of brothers and sisters What

Our Honor Abroad

CONSERVED by PATRIOTS Ar HOME.
WASHINGTON, March THE house
was the center of attraction to-day. Di-
plomacy was the subject under discus
sion, and the spectators in the gallery
had an opportunity to hear the leading
men of both parties on this subject.
Mr.. Springer offered an amendment, in
which it was proposed to consolidate a
number of European missions. This
did not meet with favor from either
side, and was lost by decided maiori-
ty. Sunset Cox favored the amendment
for the reason, as he expressed it, that
It would do away with much of the
"tomfooiery" of diplomacy, which was
not necessary for upholding either the
honor or the credit Of this country
abroad. The proposition gave rise to
an animated debate, during which a
number of patriots howled and poured
in their efforts to show that this, the
greatest country, needed diplomats ia
stead of standing armies and a power
full navy to look after It's interests
abroad. The proceedings during the
entire day were characterized by scenes
of disorder to which the habitues of
the house are gradually becoming ac-
customed, and Mr.. Rice of Massachu-
sets, who occupied the speakers chair,
found himself at times powerless to
nuell the tumulU.

In the British house of commons, Sir
Stafford Northcote carried a resolution
that Bradlaugh be not permitted TO 20

Of the oath. Majoribanks gave notice
of bill amending the law in regard TO

IL the British house of commons. the
motion of Lord Churchill that writ be
issued for Northampton was rejected. A
motion Of Lyons. Of Dublin. that Brad
laugh was guilty of proclamation, and
therefore incapacitated from sitting as a
member, was withdrawn. During the de-
bate Bradlaugh passed the bar and took a
seat, whereupon Northcote moved his ex-
pulsion for contempt OF the house, the
vote standing 29l to So. Bradlaugh then
left, and new writ was issued.

The mississippi Overflow

New YORK, March 4-Gen. W. S.
Hancock, who has just returned from
southern journey, gives faithful ac-
count of the destruction wrought by
the floods in that section of the coun-
try. The people are in great need, he
says, and he adds:
We must face the problem of feed
ing. sheltering and clothing these
people until such time as they can
raise food and shelter for themselves.
The southern people will do what they
can, but the northern and western
people must also come to the rescue.
Even if it were right to throw the bur-
den of such an unparalleled calamity
upon the southerners alone, they have
had the means of charity swept away
with the means of livelihood. We

WAsHINGToN, March President
Arthur held an infornla. reception to-
night. Thank heaven for lent said a
mother in quiet conversation. We
can go to the informal receptions dur
ing lent and get rested. Us mothers
can stand it but our daughters are
being killed off by the exactions of So

The institution of lent brings rest for
the weary, swollen feet which last week
danced day and night from Monday t.
Saturday. GLOW does your daughter

met at the Bachelor german last Fri
day night. She answered by telling
me that the same woman who took
charge of her daughter when an infant
still had the care of her, and always
waited until her young mistress return
ed from a ball; then she undressed
her, gave her a sponge bath, rubbed
her We'll, and, after administering a
cup of hot beef tea, tucked her in bed
and left her to sleep until nooday. or
longer if she was so inclined.
As soon as the young lady
awoke she was fed with beef tea OF
some food equally nourishing; in short,
she was treated exactly as she would
be if seriously i'll, and in that way she
kept fresh for the afternoon dancing
receptions and the germans at night.
Nothing was expected of her but to en-
Joy herself and rest when she was tired
50 she could continue to participate in
the gayeties while the dancing season
lasted. Tuesday night this young lady
danced until two o'clock at the german
given by the Tuesday Club; Wednesday
night she danced at the german given
by Miss Dora, the daughter of Senator
Miller, which lasted until four a. n.:
Thursday Afternoon Mrs. Miller had
dancing at her regular reception, and
Thurday night was divided between the
bali given by Commodore and Mrs.
English and the charity ball, which kept
up until four o'clock; Friday afternoon
she danced at Mrs. Carroll's, and in the
evening at the german first mentioned
Saturday afternoon she danced at the

rested Sunday so as to be ready for the
