what Men Need Wires for.

1t is not TO sweep the house, and
make the beds, and darn the socks,
and cook the meals, chiefly, that a
wants, hired servants can do II
cheaper than "a wife. II this is all,
when IA young man calls to see a la
dy send him into the pantry to taste
the bread and cakes she has made I;
send him TO inspect the needlework
and bed-making ; or put broom
into her hands and send him to
witness its use. Such things are
important, and the wise young man
will quietly look after them. But
what true man most wants OF
wife is her conpanionship, sympa-
thy and love.
The way OF life has many dreary
places In IL, and man needs q COM
paniOn to go with him. A man IL
sometimes overtaken by misfor-
tune; he meets with failure and de-
feat trials and temptations beset
him and he needs one to stand by
him and sympathize. 1.m
He has some stern battles TO fight
with poverty, with enemies and
with sin, and he needs a woman
that, while he puts his arm around
her and feels that he has something
to fight for, will help him to fight
who will put her lips to his ear and
whisper words of counsel, and her
hand to his heart and impart new
inspirations. All through life
through storm and through sun
shine, conflict and victory through
adverse and favorable winds--man
needs a woman's love. The heart
yearns for it. A sisters and a moth
er's love. will hardly supply the
need. r .....E....s .sI0#
Yet many seek for nothing fur
ther than success In housewOrk.
Justly enough, half OF these get
nothing more. The other hall, sur
prised above measure, obtain more
than they sought. Their wives sur
prise them by bringing II nobler
idea OF marriage, and disclosing Q
treasury Of courage, sympathy and
love.

BUFFALO, N. Y, September a.
The eastern part OF Erie. Pa. n In
tenssly excited over the blood curd-
ling freaks Of innn craxed by re-
ligion. Sylvester Knott, a well To
do farmer, living in a comparative
ly isolated spot ON the bank of Lake
Erie, Is the fanntic whose deeds are
the theme Of public conversation,
Some months ago he attended a
meeting of the salvation army, at
Franklin, where the first seeds of
insanity were sown. Since then his
brain has by degrees grown more
and more infiamed, ard now his
frenzy knows no check. For two
weeks past he has wandered up and
down the lake shore, regardless Ut
sunshine or storm, declaiming On
salvation schemes, picturing the
horrors Of judgment day, and call
Ing upon sinners to worship God or
be eternally lost. Yesterday morn
ing he planted large cross in the
woods upon which 60 nail his eight
year old sou, believing the boy
would be tormented i'm hell fire for
ever unless he died the death OF
mankind's Redeemer. With
strength well nigh superhuman,
Knott held the lad firmly while
driving large nail through the lit
tie fellows hand, unheeding his
piteous pleas for mercy. The dread.
ful work was interrupted by some
wOodcutters who chaHced TO be
passing. Leaving his son hanging,
the maniac fed, first striking down
one Of the rescuers with a hammer,
then leaping into the lake. A
search for his hiding place proved
fruitless, and il WAS thought he had
been drowned, but such was not
the case. Before midnight the cra-
zy fiend returned, smashed the door
Of his house, and knocked Mrs.
Knott insensible at single blow.
Entering n chamber where his only
daughter, Minnie, Il beautiful girl
of seventeen, lay sleeping, he bound
her hand and foot and carried her to
a lonely place i'm the forest, where
hundreds of cords OF wood were
piled. An altar was quickly built,
and upon Ii the mailman secured
his child. "Even as Abraham did
with Isaac, will offer you as a
burnt offering unto the Lord,
chanted the mailman, setting the
funeral pyre on fire. The climbing
fiames soon licked the exposed
limbs of the girl, whose shrieks OF
agony and prayers for more mer-
ciful death were music to the mad
mans ear. He implOred the AL
mighty 10 accept the sacrifice as an
atOnement for his sinful deeds COM
mitted by him in years long gone,
and added fresh fuel TO the altar.
But help arrived In time TO prevent
the consumation OF the fearful de-
sign. Two young men, crossing
the woods on their way home from
a party, saw bright light and
heard the young lady's screams.
One felled the demenfed sire, while
his companion scattered the bla-
ztng fagots and lifted the almost
nude maiden from her fiery bed,
when the cords that fettered her
limbe were transferred to those Of
the unconscious maniac. Miss
Knott il painfully burned aboutthe
lower extremities, and there are
large blistorslon her shoulders, arms,
and sides. So awful was her expe-
rience that the doors Of an asylum
may open to the daughter as well
as to the father. She raves night
and day, and ii Ii feared her reason
IS permanently deihroned.

THE Boston Herald (Republican)
has this to say OF Boss Malone and
his political ways:
1.-THE Readjusters of Virginia
may well heed the call of one of
their boiling members last year.
"Freemen, this way :" if they have
a spark of manhood in them. The
pledge which Mahone seeks to I'M
pose upon every candidate OF his
party for the Legislature is one of
the most disgraceful ever devised
in the history OF bOssism, The can
didates are required, before receiv-
ing the nominations, to pledge them
selves, without qualifications to
'gO into the Readjuster caucus OF
the Legislature at Richmond, and,
as members of the Legislature, to
support and vote for such measures
as that caucus, by a majority, shall
adopt Could there be a more
complete surrender of Individual
convictions and liberty of action
than is involved in this? 1t leads
every Legislator into the caucus
with collar around his neck, at
tached to a chain in the hands of
Boss MahOne, bound III advance to
do his bidding There has never
been time since the Readjuster
party was successful when its leader
could not command the unquestion-
ing obedience of majority OF the
men whom he has placed in Office.
He required Auditor Massey to turn
out competent and faithful clerks /;
and, when that lieutenant refused To
obey, the majority promptly turned
him out. He fixed, in connection
with Riddleberger, the details OF
the bill repudiating the obligations
OF the State; and the majority !
swallowed it without word. He
has deposed Federal offiee-holders |
as arbitrarily as the Shah OF Persia
could behead those who are unac- |
ceptahle to him. The independence !
of two or three self-respecting Sen
atOrs last winter was all that pre- |
vented Malone from completing |
his conquest of the State through |
his party. He proposes to guard
against any such acts Of insnb0rdl-
nation in the future by exacting
pledge that no Virginian would
dare disregard. Under 1t, If Ma
hone told the majority in the Leg
islature to vote for the DEVIL or
to enact devilIsh measure, every |
member Of the party would be
foresworn to do it. Can boss rule
go farther than this ?'

drink of whiskey. Every time he
went out, the cashier was instruct

gone out 80 often had drunk him

REMEMBER THY MOTHER.

Lead thy mother tenderly
Down life's steep incline;
Once her arm was thy support,
Now she leans on thine.
See upon her loving face
Those deep lines of care!
Think il was her toll for thee
Left that record there.
Ne'er forget that tireless watch
Kept by day and night;
Taking from her step the grace,
From her eyes the light,
Cherish well her faithful heart,
While through weary years
Answered with its sympathy
All thy smiles and tears,
Thank God for thy mothers love,
Guard the precious boon,
For the bitter parting hour
Cometh all too soon.
When thy grateful tenderness
Loses power to save,
Earth will hold no dearer spot
Than thy mothers grave.

a torpid liver, and impoverished

An enormous amoNnt Of mischief

1t is point worth noting in con-
