Home.

A home, like many Of the blessings of
our ives. is seldom appreciated until it Is
lost How very lew realize the true pleas
ures OF home, Instead of undertaking our
home and seeking the pleasures and happi-
ness of social lie, a. represented by our
present social circles, why not pause for
moment and portray to ourselves what our
homes should be-?
dare say that very few OF Us would turn
away from the real pleasures Of home to
seek the phantomS of social life.
Among the duties of those that comprise
he home, we lind the first resting upon
the wife and daughters III loving and beau
tilying it.
Ii il not necessary that the identifying
of home be made a source of great expense,
only personal effort Is needed To make each
and every home a heaven within and an
eden without Ii social position cannot be
maintained without the sacrifice ot home
happiness, we had better close our eyes to

attention for we will find it to pay better
per cent. in years to come.
No true husband will leave allowing wife
an attractive drawing-room, or even cosy
sitting room To seek the society of other
ladies, or visit saloons or gambling halls.
Much rests upon the husband in beautiiy-
ing and making home pleasant, but more
upon the wife. Ii wives and daughters
would exert the same amount OF energy,
and physical and mental labor upon home
attractions, a. they do upon fashions
how soon they would see the sunshine
peeping through the clouds OF domestic in
felicity.
How surprisingly strange it is that so
few ladies cultivate a taste for home ele-
gance beyond that which they can pur-
chase at stores.

Reunired.

The Nevada Mail gives an account of a
somewhat romantic marriage which &C.
Cured in that city yesterday morning.
The parties were John Chezsn aud Martha
Haynes who were joined in marriage for
the second time, they having been married
several years ago. Some time after John
went west and after a long absence his wife
sued for divorce and restoration of her
maiden name. A decree was granted ac-
cordingly, which was two years and a hall
ago. Oh. zen lately returned and discover
ing the situation he agsin made love TO his
former spouse and an effort was made to
set aside the order of the court. 1t was
finally concluded that the m DIST satisfactory
way would be 10 re-marry. which was
done. No explanation was given as to the
cause of the long absence and silence of the
husband, though it is quite evident that he
satisfactorily explained matters TO his
wife.
