opment of agriculture in the United States
must be abandoned. our opponents have
labored to persuade the farmers that they
are robbed by a protective tariff. But
happily the latter see that wealth has not
been acquired in one section at the cX-
pensc Of another. They see that the az
ricultural States have made more rapid
progress than manufacturing States
They see that the revenue system of the
Republican parity has established the
home market, ana that by that
system the home market becomes
daily OF greater concern. The American
people enjoy with protection from foreign
competition the advantages of absolute
free trade over larger area than any
other nation. The internal commerce of
our States and Territories is carried on
without governmental hindrance of any
kind. 1t does away with everything like

opponents would admit the countries of
Europe, policy which would be dis

Just relations between labor and capital

to degrade it.
PEACE POLICY,
We are at peace with the world, and
we seek the conquestS of peace. All
international troubles in North and
South America should be adjusted by i'm
partial arbitration, not by arms. We
should gain the friendship of Spanish
America, that the market for our pro-
duets be enlarged. The elements which
separated two sections of our common
country are diminishing. This is the re-
suit of time and Republican principles as
applied under the favorable conditions OF
uniformity. The South needs protec.

Yesterday, out of my window
| leaned, aud chanced to hear
Two boys as they plotted mischief,
Not thinking l was near.
I'VE mnst have Joe to help US.
One of the plotters said;
Hes az good as dozen for helping,
Whenever there's fun ahead"
AS they stood there talking together
About the work to be done,
If they carried out the mischief
They called by the name of fun,
Up The street We heard whistle,
And we knew that Joe was nigh
By the sound of his merry music,
Like the blackbirds in the rye.
"We've just been talking about you"
The bows cried out to Joe;
"We've planned the jolliest frolic.
And we count on you, you know"
1T depends on what's to be done, boys
AS to whether help" said he;
"If it's fun, and only fun, you know,
You can always count on me-"
They told him what their plans were
He gravely shook his head
81 couldn't help with that, boys,
For it wouldn't be right" he said.
perhaps you cali it only fun,
But you know it isn't so.'
And tho they urged they urged in vain
For he firmly answered Nor
was proud of the boy with courage
To stand up for the right;
He was as much hero
As those who battle fight.
Whenever boy is tempted
As was my hero, Joe,
It's alwas best to win the day
By firm, unway ering Nor

The Antithesis of Don't Addressed to
Married Women.
Mail and Express.

Mail and Express.
Do remember that you are married to
man, and not to god; be prepared fol
imperfections.
Do anticipate the discovery by your
husband that you are "only a woman"
if you were not he would not Gale about
you.
Do bear in mind that popular preach
er often has wife; have some regard for
her feelings.
Do, once in while, let your husband
have the last word; it will crafty him
and be no particular loss to you.
Do let the sun into your home; a man
deteSts dark rooms, and his taste is of
more Importance than your carpets, cur
tains, or complexion.
Do be reasonable; it is a great deal to
ask under some circumstances, but do
try: reasonable women are rare-be rare.
Do resist your neighbor's encroach-
ments.
Do refuse to tell your home worries to
your closest friend; they are nobody's bu-
siness but your own.
Do be dignifed; keep your place and
make your associates and dependents
keep theirs.
Do remember that servants are made
of the same material as you are; little
coarser grained, perhaps, but the same
in essentials; lone touch of nature
makes the whole world kim"
Do respect their feelings and attach
ments; let the lovely parlor-maid have
her lover openly; she will have him
openly she will have him any way, and
if you have her confidence you may save
her lifelong misery.
Do forget your clothes as much as
possible.
Do try and forget yourself; as for
your husband, forget that you have
married him and remember that he has
married you; he will then probably do
the reverse.
Do, if friend drops in unexpectedly,
leave things just as they are; If the tidy
is off the chair back, what does it mat
ter? A newspaper on the floor, even, is
no absolute disgrace.
Do let your husband smoke if he
wants TO you can ca lily accustom your
self TO the smoke of his cigar, and il
will keep him out of mischief and-qui-
ct; if your curtains smell after it, let
the air blow through the room.
Do let him read the newspaper at the
breakfast table; it is unsociable, but
then it is only triie after all, and he
likes it.
Do let him know more than You do
once in a while; it keeps up his self-re-
spect. and you will be none the worse
for admitting that you are not actually
infallible.
Do pay your servants regularly.
Do keep accounts; do live within your
allowance: do, for the sake of everybo-
dy, yourself included, know exactly how
much you have to spend, and save
something if you can.
Do date your letters.
Do have an open fire if you can man
age it, and do have the hearth swept
up every time Goals are put on.
Do be courageous; do be self-respect-
ing; do be sensible woman, and not a
mere mate creature,pretty to look at and
of no further use.
Do wear real jewelry or none at all.
Do read something better than novels
or cook books.
Do remember that the interest of life
is not centered in your home circle; do

POETRY.
What Shall We Do With the Boys?

"What shall we do with the boysf"
Says the petulent, half-weary mother;
.sThey make so much trouble and noise.
And play such tricks on each other;
They are out at the elbows and toes,
In spite of my darning and mendlng,
And my work seems to me, as 1t goes
Day in and day out, .neyer ending.
They are calling from morning TIL night
'Tis mother and mother, and mother,
Till almost get tired of my right
And title, and long for some other.
John. Ollie and Fredl Here they come
Upstairs with their noise and their clat
ter;
With whistle, with fife, and with drum
Well, boys, pray what is the matterF
"And what do you want?" 1 want you
To fix my bow arrow. 1t misses"
"And I've cut my finger clear through;
Please, mother, dear, mend it with
kisses"
-These three are the babies. dear friend,
Saws this now smiling pattern OF moth
erS,
you'll own that my cares have no end.
When you look out and see my three
others.
.Wbat shall l do with the boys"
All, mother, these lads are your treas
ureS,
Say not that they dim your ife's joys,
Or take from your sweet household
pleasures;
But join them at work, or at play,
Their questions, so innocent, needing,
And holding each hand, up life's way
With infinite tenderness leading.
Fret not that they call you, my friend,
SO often that name, like no other
OF all the fond ones known to fame
The name all men revercnce-mother
Dear boysl they will never forget
Their mothers kind help in their sor
row,
And the cares that annoy you to-day
Win be followed by blessings to-mor
row. Mrs. A Kidder.

Tndia's Wheat Supply.

Within the past five years India has
made great advances in the cultivation
of wheat, and in the last half OF that
time has given an attention to the ex-
portation of grain productive OF such
effects upon the markets of the world
as call for careful consideration of
that country in all calculations of the
general food supply and demand. Her
shipments of wheat to Euroye during
the last and preceding year amounted,
according to Mr.. BroOkwalter, who has
recently in visit to India made an ex-
tended examination of the subject, to
SO, ,OOO, 900 bushels, representing a value
at our Atlantic ports of hundred mil
lions of dollars; and he feels assured
that the capabilities of great increase
are such as should cause extreme watch
fulness, if not uneasiness in this coun-
try. The capabilities of a very great
increase in India's productions snd ship
ments are most apparent. and the fos-
tering care of England is now being de-
voted to their development. There is a
large amount of wheat land that has
never been cultivated. and most of that
under cultivation is only half farmed in
the crudest way the means of trans
portation to storage at the seaboard are
very limited. The home government is
working in every direction to encourage
the industry. Improved plows and eth
er implements, machinery. &C., are be
ing introduced among the natives, some
without cost and others at merely
nom nal price. The best seed is being
selected and distributed, and of even
more Importance, the railroad systems
are being extended into the interior, ,and
special efforts are being constantly
made to equip them with grain-carry-
ing cars, and to generally adapt their ia
cilities to the transportation of grain.
From 10000 to $4,000 miles of railroad
are now under contemplation, and ca
nails for irrigation and navigation are
built and in process of construction.
The total of the exports is already for
midable, though the industry may be
said to be almost in its infancy. Eng
land, in buying wheat from India,
makes double profit, for she sells that
country in return her manufactured
goods and carries the freight both ways
in her own steamers. With Indian and
American wheat at the same price in
Liverpool, England, of course, prefers
the former and makes money by her
choice. The probabilities seem to be
that We may be seriously underbid near
ly every year before long time has
past-Balt. American.

GRATING WAX.-This recipe has
proved satisfactory: Take ID of rosin,
u ID of beeswax, and little less than u
ID of tallow. Melt together in small
iron kettle, and stir thoroughly, that
the ingredients may be well mixed.
Pour into dish of cold watsr,and when
cool, break into three or four pieces, and
puff like molasses candy until white
and fine grained. When the whole is
properly worked, divide into eight pie
ces, form into rolls six inches long, and
wrap in oiled paper. To clean the KEITH
rub it while yet hot with teaspooful of
lard or tallow, and wash out with soap
and warm water; repeat this, &nd rinse,
and il will be as clean as ever.
