MARRY NO TIPPLER.

How many young ladies there are
whoiin spite.of the wretchedness they
see daily resulting from marrying
tippIerS, are still willing to run the
risk themselves. They cannot be
brought to the belief that the one
glass taken now and then will be nine
cases out of ten. increases to three,
four, FIVE, and even more, until the
habit has a man in it's grasp, as a
vise-never to relax its hold, until
the wife and family have run through
whole gamut of wretchedness, and
death closes the scene. Shame and
sorrow follows in the foot steps of the
drinking man as sure as night fol,
lows day, Girls often refuse a man
because be is poor, or his social
position does not please; but how
many girls would refuse a rich tip
pier Wealth blinds them to the
terrible future which drunkard will
bring them to wealth cannot, how
ever, sootbe the paogs of disappoiut
ment and disgrace which an in
temperate man causes his family

ADVICE TO WIVES.

Keep your face, your heart, and
your home bright. DON'T let the
cobwebs gather in the corners of the
pretty sitting room, or dust accumu-
late on the furniture till you can
write your name thereon. No matt
ter what is on hand or how much
you have to do, take time at least
once day to tidy your rooms and
gather fresh flowers. You will never
regret it, even though at the close of
life you may not possess quite so
much of the worlds goods as some
of your neighbors. 1t is the beet
plan by far to enjoy life as it comes,
and this You can never do in slow
emily, disordered home. Would you
keep your husband from evil saso'
Citations and your children from way
ward pathsf Remember there is
nothing 10 this world so attractive to
a man as pleasant home and
smiling face therein; aud as for the
little feet, they will not be apt to
wander far, so long as your face
beams with the love aud solicitude
that you: heart bears for them. A
wife or mother is a queen always,
not of vast domains, to be sure, and
not of society, but of the most sacred
spot on earth to every human heart
home. You never thought of it,
perhaps, but it is true; and it is true
also that there is a no more pitiable
sight than one of these queens who
does not, either from want of judg
ment, or lack of will, govern her
subjects Alright. Did you ever see a
truly happy family without loving,
watchful, and affectionate wife and
mother at its head ? The father
may be sour, hard, OF cross grained,
but if the mother is all right, there
is sure to be happiness in that
family.

SMALL BEGINNINGS.

A friend, while in our office a few
days since, related a little story thai
has q moral to it. He told of two
gentlemen who had married sisters
and settled on adjoining farms. In
each family there was boy ten or
twelve years of age. One of these
boys was permitted by his father TO
SOW turnips on a small plat of ground,
giving them attention at odd mo
ments, and when gathered, they
we're sold in the market at a fair
price. With the little capital thus
raised, the boy, after advising with
his father, bought calf. A small
plat of ground was again assigned
him, which was planted 10 some
saleable crop. This was carefully
cultivated, gathered and sold, and
the profits judiciously invested, and
thus he continued, until by bard
work and safe investments, at the
age of eighteen, be purchased a snug
farm near that of bis father and in
the course of a very few years, was
man of considerable wealth. His
cousin, who was about the Same age,
and perhaps equally industrious,
either did not have the inclination,
or was not permitted to engage in
such picay unish truck farming, but
simply filed his place as farm la
borer, and becoming dissatisfied,
perhaps from improper associations,
ran away from home.
We said there was a moral in this
story: In these days it will not do
for any one to despise the "day of
small things" The frstveoture this
boy made, did not have a very
promising look, and the profits were
quite small, considering the work
done, but then it was the starting
point-it was the capital for the
commencement of a successful busi-
ness career; and all along until his
majority, he was being taught les
sons 10 two things-habits of indus
try and careful fnanciering The
conduct of the father was in the
right line. He did not think it
beneath bis dignity to advise his son
as to the best crops for the patch,
and also the wisest investments of
the little savings as they accumula-
ted. 1t is too often the case that
boys do not show much inclination to
follow in this line but when such a
spirit is manifested, it should be ju>
diciously guided by the more mature
judgment of the parent. 1t is some.
times the case that the father does
not wish to be interrupted by the
questions of his boy in regard to bis
ventures, and very frequently the
repulse is SO sharp, that all effort is
abandoned. Give the boys chance,
and where talent is developed in a
particular line, let it be cultivated
The principle applies to all branches
of business. We knew a boy who
is now a fine mechanic, that made
his start on a very small capital but
by hard work, judicious investments
and economy, fought bis way up,
until now he is man of wealth and
influence.

HEAVY OR LIGHT Hoes. -Ar Iowa
farmer says that it costs nearly
double per pound to raise hog
weighing 500 as it does to raise one
that only weighs 200 pounds. His
idea is-and he gives the figures to
support it in communication to the
Iowa Homestesd-that profit to be
derived by farmers in raising pork
is 10 selling the hogs when they reach
what may be called fair size, or get
their growth; if kept after that time
every poun in weight added by
feeding corn costs more than it will
fetch in market. 1t is true that
large hogs weighing 500 or 600
pounds will sell for more per pound
than those weighing only 200 or 800,
but seldom or never for enough more
to pay the extra cost of keeping and
feeding, especially where corn can
be sold at anything like fair price
for cash. We are inclined to think
that the farmer who takes this stand
in regard to raising pork is correct,
and that there ia more profit in rais-
ing hogs that will dress 200 to $50
pounds than older and larger ones.

ADVICE TO STRANGERS.

To young man away from home,
friendless, torlorn, in a great city,
the hours of peril are those between
sunset and bedtime; for the moon
and stars see more evil in single
hour than the sun 10 a whole day
circuit. The poets visions of even>
ing are all composed of tender and
soothing images They bring the
wsnderer to bis home, the child to
its mothers arms, the OK to his stall
and the weary to bis rest. But to
the gentle hearted youth who is
thrown upon the rocks of the pitiless
city, stands homeless amid thOus-
and homes, the approach of evening
brings with it an aching sense of
desolation which comes down upon
the spirit like darkness upon the
earth. In this mood bis best impul-
SEES become a snare to him, and he is
led astray because be is so social,
sympathetic and warm hearted. Ii
there be a young man thus circum
stanced let US say unto him that books
are the friend to the friendless, and
that library is home to the home
less. A taste for reading will always
carry you to converse with men who
will influence you with their wisdom
and charm you with their wit who
will sooth you when fretted, refresh
you when weary, counsel you when
perplexed, and sympathize with you
at all times. Evil spirits iu the mid
die ages we're exercised and driven
away by bell, book and candle, and
you want but two of these agents
the book and the candle.

Congressman Phil Thompson, not
yet SO years old, has killed six men
since the war. His friends claim
that he slew five of them in self de.
fence and one-the lsst-because of
a hideous dishonor inflicted upon bis
family. The most piteOus sidescene
of all is thus described by Courier
Joar7aal correspondent:
The desoIation of Davis home,
where the weeping wife and mother
mourns over the body of her deceas
ed husband, where two bright and
beautiful children are c!inglng to
their fathers corpse, and where bis
aged and widowed mother bewails
the sad and tragic death of her
youngest son, must be left to the in
agination of the reader, cannot
depict it. Poor Mrs. Thompson, it
is said, suffers indescribably, and is
almost crazed. She has taken TEN.
porary refuge with her friend, Mrs.
Thomas Hardin, and will not see any
one or be interviewed.

SHAKsPEARE's "MACBETH" TAX

SHAKSPEARE's "MACBETH" TAX
EN- FROM THE BIBLE. You will find
the principal characters of Macbeth
in the Book of Kings. Jezebel in
the Bible is Lady Macbeth in the
play. She it was that stirred up
her husband to do all the deviltry he
did. Then take Hazsel, servant
to the King. Under the influence
of bis wife, Jezebel, he plots to kill
bis master, and become King of
Syria in bis stead. This plot is sue,
cessful, and Hazael is crowned King
This character exactly suits that of
Macbeth The minor characters
can also be found in the Bible. Of
course, Shakespeare has altered the
words, but the plot and characters
are to be found there. DR.. Halsey,
in his lectures on Shakespeare at
Princeton College, stated that Shak'
speare's regular practice was to stu
dy the Bible seven hours q day.
There were not so many Bibles in his
time as there are now, but although
very costly, be had one, and made q
daily practice Of studying it. Where
DR.. Hslsey got his information | do
not know, but presume be is correct.

eddy great, | think be is consider

Catching a Deer with Fish Hooks.
lake Superior Sentinel. |

Will Hendrick, while out fishing
one day last week, near the head of
the bay, captured a l75-pound deer
with large horns. The young dentist
had no shooting iron with him at the
time, but on seeing the animal enter
the water he cautiously pulled his lit
tie rowboat between his buckship and
the shore and drove him out into the
bay, where, after hard and long spell
of rowing, he managed to catch him.
He hooked into the deer's neck, with a
couple of fish hooks, and then with his
fish line he managed to steady the
boat until he could lasso it, which be
did by throwing the boats painter
over its horns. The buck was not to
be bagged so easily, however, for he
turned upon his pursuer, and lively
tussle was had. An old buck will
fight hard at such time-if there is
any one who has any doubt in the
matter, let him ask Hendrick. AT
one time he struck the boat blow
with his forefeet which nearly capsized
it. Will hung on to the rope like
grim death, and by the dexterous use
of an oar he finally knocked the buck
out and brought him in.

Reecher's Bad Head,

For two months in the year Henry
Ward Beecher can't preach. In August
and September he takes his vacation
and endures the onset of the hay fever.
And it is, so he says, something terrible
and tremendous. A man with hay fe-
yer isn't accountable for his actions.
He is merely wild beast-frantic with
spufting, sneezing and headache. His
ewes are red and so is his nose. Every
nerve in his skull thrills with distress
and his head isa fountain of tears. He
lives only to fly rom seaside to noun
tain-top in search of relief.
And yet, whether we call this form OF
Catarrh hay-fever, rose-fever, hay-co'd
or rose-cold, Ely's Cream Balm will cure
it. This remedy is simple, pleasant
and easy of application. Placed in the
nostrils it penetrates and soothes the
affected parts at once, restores the i'm,
paired senses and creates healthy secre,
tions in cases of the longest standing,
You cannot run away from hay fever
but you can drive it from you by using
Ely's Cream Balm. 1t
