STREET RAILWAY.

In the council proceedings THE FREi
Press Of last week had only time and
space Ia mention the fact that Messrs
w. NJ. Farr and Jno. &. Noe had petit
toned the city fathers to grant them a
franchise of the city for twenty years for
street railway purposes. We believe
that the people of Mankato are DESTROYS
of street railway, and when the pro-
position for such an enterprise vas be-
fore the council two years since, we
favored the granting IF the franchise,
but for various reasons it was denied.
The renewal of the proposition by other
gentlemen than those previously inter
ested, or mt least the submission of Il
proposition similar in its provisions, is
of more than ~mOmentary importance TO
the interests of our city. The addition
of Il street railway to u growing num-
cipality is something that we ought to
have, as every enterprsing citizen will
admit, and the honesty and fairness of
the gentlemen who have the project in
view will lend much weight in securing
them, upon equitable terms, the oppor-
tunity to furnish us with such Il mode of
transit. The matter is now in the hands
of the ordinance committee and city at
torney, and it is to be hoped that they
will be able to frame an ordinance that
will be acceptable to the gentlemen ask
ing the privileges as well as to the mem
bers of the council.
Let us have q street railway.

In many instances the opium-eating
habit has been contracted through the
use ofnarcotics, prescribed by physicians
during sickness. Many remedies which
claim to cure coughs contain morphia or
opium, and it can easily be understood
what a bad effect they must have on
children. The new remedy, Red Star
Cough Cure, is entirely free from these
dangerous ingredients, and the mass of
testimony which has already been col
lected in its favor from all parts of the
country is proof of its wonderful purity
and efficacy.

A Wife's Position.

Newly married people are generally
warned by their more experienced ell
derS to beware OF the first dispute;
and certainly a want OF self-restralnt
mars home life more than anything
else. Still cts hardly in a bOdy's
power to keep at times from being
sour" and we must not attach undue
importance to the little tiffs of early
married life Generally speaking,
there is not much fault on either side.
Some men are inclined to be cross in
the early morning, or on returning
home in the evening, because their
minds are intent on unpalatable
items in the days business. Fore
warned is fOrearmed; the fact that it
is so should be duly recognized, and
nothing done to rutiie or annoy them.
1t is great mistake for a man, in his
early married life, to be over1one
with domesticity. The young wife, if
she is wise, does not insist upon her
husband giving up his club, male
friends and oil the interests OF bachel-
orship. She, probably, is quite con-
tent with his company alone, but she
is aware that a man is apt to
weary of the tOniOurs perdrix. APP
pearances should not be disregarded
in home life husbands attach much
Importance to what others think of
their wives and their homes. 1t is a
part of the science of home life to pre-
sent a good face to the world; it ar
CUES bad housekeeping to be seen at a
disadvantage. At the same time the
young wife must never dwindle down
into a mere housekeeper and head
nurse, with a spice OF the dressmaker.
She must keep her placeas acompan-
ion. Agood wife is priceless treasure;
and the husband is none the worse
that he is made to realize that she is a
lady, and to be treated as such.
Surround your lord with tender
care and thought for his comfort, but
it does not become you to fetch and
carry, and wait on him hand and foot,
or he will come to expect it as right,
and think the less of you rather than
the more therefor. From the very
first expect and demand respect, and
you will get 1.-THE Culver.

the name OF a Greek authOress, Pam

''Punch and Judy is contradiction
from POntius and Judas. 1t is a relic
Of an old miracle play" in which the
actors were Pontius plate and Judas

in which the fierce and intolerant
Arianism of the Visigoth, conqueror
of Spain, is handed down to infamy.
"Humbug'' is from Hamburg; ga piece
of Hamburg news" was in Germany a
proverbial expression for false polltl-
cal rumors. "Gauze" derives its name
from GAIA where it was first made.
"Tabby cat" is all unconscious that
her name is derived from Atab, a ia

the manufacturers ofsilken stuff called
atabi or taffety, the wavy markings

THE OLD CANOE.


Where the rocks are gray, and the shore is steep
And the waters below look dark and deep,
Where the rugged pine, in its lonely pr;de'
Leans gloomily over the murky tide;
Where the reeds and rushes are long ana IahK
And the weeds grow thick on the winding BANK,
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day
There lies at its moorings the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like a sea birds wings that the storm mas
Topped,
And crossed on the railing one DER one,
Like the fold>d hands when the work is done;
While busily back and forth between,
The spider stretches his silvery screen, .
And the solemn owl, with the dull 'too-whoo,'
Settles dowT on the side OF the old canoe.
The stern, lalf sunk in the Shiny wave,
Rots slowly away in its living grave;
And the green moss c-eeps Ger its duh decay
Hiding its Inolderiug dust away,
Like the hand that plants Ger a tomb flower,
or the ivy that NANTES the falling tower,
While many blossom OF loyelest hue
Springs up Ger the stern OF the old canoe
The currentless waters are dead and still, =,
But the twilight wind plays with the boat al Wlli
And laZily in and out again,
II floats the length of its rusty chain,
Like the weary march Of the hands OF time
That meet and part at the MONDAY chime,
And the shore is kissed at each turning anew
By the dipping bow OF the old canoe
on many a time with careless hand,
] have pushed itaway from the pebbly strand
And padded it down where the stream runs
quick
Where the whirls are wide and the eddies are
thick,
And laughed as ! leaned Der the rocking side
And looked below in the broken tide,
To see that the faces and boats were two,
That were mirrored back from the old canoe
But now, as lean DER the crumbliug side,
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that / see there is graver grown,
And the laugh that hear is a sober tone,
And the hands that lent to the light skif wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things;
But love to think of the hours that sped
As | rocked where the whrls their white spray
shed
Ere the blossom waved or the green grass grew
Ger the Wondering stern of the old canoe.

have amounted to anything without
his wife's care. His children were tidy
and sweet, and everything around and
in the house had that CHEEKY look that
rested him so after the hard, dull day
at the mill. They sat again at the Ia
BILE that had been a source OF comfort
and pleasure to him for so many
wears, and he wondered how he could
have enjoyed it so long without even
thanking the woman who had proVld-
ed it. True, she had his money IN
bringing it all about, but how else
could his money be Of use to him
Who else could have turned 1t into
lust what he needed for years? And
he began to have an underlined feeling
that it took more than money to
make a home. He glanced at his
wifes face as he buttered his last slice
of bread.
1t was not that of the fair. rosy
bride whom he had brought to the
mills years before, but at that mo-
ment he realized it was far more dear
to him, for he knew that chad given
the bloom and freshness OF her youth
to make her home what it was. His
daughters had her rose-leaf cheeks,
his sons her youthful. beauty, all had
her cheerful, winsome ways, and COM
forted him now as she had IN those
days when, hardly knowing what care
meant, she had lived for him alone.
And thought came to him: "Who
was comforting her now when she had
so much care?" Was not that what
he had promised to do when he
brought her from her old home? He
sighed as he thought how far he had
drifted from her while in bondage
equal to Cuffee's. Nay, he felt that
her chains were far more binding than
any which had ever held the negro,
and that his obligations to her were
so much the greater.
Something called the children out of
doors, and Mr.. Jarvis took his easy
chair. His wife came and stood be-
side him. Il fear you are not well,
Donald; are you displeased with me?"
He drew her into his arms and told
her how her words had showed him
what manner of man he was, ard
there were words spoken that need
not be written, but from that day
/ forth a different man was proprietor
OF the Jarvis mills, and there was a
brighter light in Mrs. Jarvis eyes, for
at last she had something of her own,
nor has she regretted that she zap
piled for wages
