What Men Need Wives For?

What does man need a wife for?
1t is not merely 10 sweep the house,
and make the beds, and darn the
socks, and cook the meals, that
man wants a wife. If this is all,
when man calls to see a lady send
him into the pantry to taste the
bread and cake she has made: send
him to inspect the needle work 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 the true
man most wants of wife is her
companionship. sympathy and love.
The way of life has many dreary
places in il, and man needs COM
panion to go with him. A man is
sometimes oyertaken with misfor-
tune; he meets with failure and de-
feat; trials and temptations beset
him, and he needs one to stand by
and sympathize. He has some stern
battles to fight with poverty, with
enemies and with sin, and lie needs
a woman that, while he puts his
arms around her and feels that he
has something to fight for, she will
help him fight; that will put her
lips to his ear and whisper words of
counsel, and her hand to his heart,
and impart new inspiration. All
through life-through storm and
through sunshine, conflict and vic
tory, through adverse and favoring
winds-man needs woman's love.
The heart yearns for it. A sisters
ora mothers love will hardly sup
ply the need. Yet, many seek for
nothing further than housework.
Justly enough, half of these get
nothing more. The other half, SUR
prised above measure, have gotten
more than they sought. Their wives
surprise them by bringing a nobler
idea of marriage, and disclosing a
treasury of courage, sympathy and
love.

SOUTHERN LIFE.
Judge A. w. Tourgee on It's Do
mestlcity and Humor.

! There are two phases of Southern
life which are but little appreciated
at the north--its domesticity and it's
humor. The enn~-ssnu ttional planter
of the ante bellum era was a careless
boastful, staggering tyrant; his wife
and daughters equally careless. in
regard TO the home life, its comforts
and economies as he of the admins
tration of his boundless acres. Bolll
ideas were almost equally incorrect
The southern planter. as rule, was
a careful administrator of his estate
not in the same snug. tidy manner
Of which the northern farmer boasts
he did not work and fuss and wor
ry over all the details of farm man
agement as much as his compeer oil
the north, nor was his sense of fit
ness outraged by lack Of complete.
ness and order which would have
driven the farmer of the Middle
states into an insane asylum. There
was a sort of laxity about his meth
DDS which was hard for the northern
man to distinguish from slothfulncss.
Yet he watched with care the devel
opment of the crops, the progress Of
his work, and was no doubt better
director of labor than could general
Iy be found upon the northern farm.
With ignorant labor and crude ma
chinery he achieved good results. 1t
is especially with regard to the do
mestic life Of the south, however,
that false ideas prevailed at the
north. The planters family has
been credited with hospitality Of a
lavish, careless kind, but very
small proportion of the people of the
north have ever supposed that the
planters wife was very generally a
Martha Of the most anxious and
troubled variety. The difference of
method betwixt the northern and the
southern housekeeper has been so
great that the former has very often
been inclined to elevate dainty
nose in scorn of any proscssed ac
quirements of the latter. So, too,
the hurly- burly of our northern life;
its sharp competition and the con
slant influx of the outside 8orlc
have been such as to predispose us
to underestimate the charming do
mesticity of the southern home. 1t
is not often as strictly ordered or
administered with that anxiety with
regard TO detail that characterizes
the northern household, yet there is
rarely to be found more faithful
puryeyor of comforts than the mis-
tress Of southern plantation. The
very isolation of life, the rarity of
strangers visits, and the care with
which even the most distant family
ties are remembered and acknowl-
edged in that section, all tend to
make the domestic life of the better
class OF the south very charming and
delightful.

One OF the prettiest and weirdest
suIerstitions OF wreckers on the
Southern sea coast is that which pos
sesses them on stormy night, when
muttering storm clouds angrily agi,
tate the seaward sky, emitting blind
ing zigzag flashes OF electricity from
their gloom and accompanying the
howling gale with peals of Natures
eloquence. When the storm. driven,
whitecapped breakers break rumb-
lingly over the sandy beach, adding
their ghostly phosphorescent glare
to the lightning flash, it is then that
the grim and bearded old wreckers
see supernatural panorama along
the spray tiecked, foaming beach.
Grim phantoms Of Ill fated mariners
who found graves in the "vasty
deep" ride in upon the rolling waves,
their misty forms enshrouded in flap
ping garments of ghostly shape, and
white, disappearing now within the
watery trough and then appearing
upon the turbulent breaker top us il
in an endeavor to reach the land,
beyond which q gray haired mother,
perchance, awaits the coming OF her
sailor boy, or wife, and the "little
ones at home grow old while wait
ing aud signing in vain for papa's
ship to come. The scene as de.
scribed by the wreckers, although
plainly told, Is eloquent. They
speak OF it reyerentially, and upon
po condition will some of them ven.
ture out upon the storm tossed beach
during the prevalence of an Off shore
storm. American Register.

My Dear Son:-What would you think

and that is just why am up here lit,la

from side to side, and with signing be-
cause you won't let her sleep. That
mother who nurscd you in your infancy,
toiled for YOU In your childhood, and look
ed with joy and pride upon YOU as you
were growing up 10 manhood, as she
counted on the comfort and support you
would give her in her declining years.

what you are doing; You are killing your
mother by inches. You havo planted
many of the whito hairs that are appear

Your cruel hand is drawing the lines at

prematurely old. You might rs we'll stick
your knife into her body every time you

vou are pressing her toward II with very

Would you tread OH her body IL pros

One of the richest strikes known In the
mining history of California was made
three miles south Of this place last Satur-
day. A pocket Of quartz Of almost unpar-
allclcd richness WAS found less than one
hundred feet from the surface, In which
was contained from $4,000 to $780, 900,
and about two tons in quantity. Much Of
this might be termed chunks Of gold in
stead of gold-bearing quartz. Some of
these pieces Of solid gold were about ~
heavy as n man could llft from the ground.
The largest piece was an oval, sixteen 10y.
TWENTY-FIVE inches and six or seven inches
thick. This gold is almost black and Of
the same character af the former rich
strikes found In tie same mine. We have
no doubt that this is the richest find Of
gold ever known in the United Statesat
ono time.
During Friday a ton of this gold-frcight-
ed metal was taken out. II Is not so rich
as the gold streak taken ont some time ago.
but there Is vastly more Of it. The value
Of this bonanza Is estimated at from tJO, 600
TO 300, 600. The ledge Is five feet wide,
and the whole face Of II was held together,
as it were, by spikes Of solid gold. Alto
gether, three thousand pounds have been
taken from this bunch Of ore, and the end
is not yet. The very rich streak from
which this mass of free gold has been
taken ranges from al inch or 80 up TO
twenty inches in width. The previous
seam varied FROM the thickness Of "A knife
