HOW TO TREAT A HUSBAND.

lIenpeck him. Snarl at him. Find
fault with him. Keep an untidy house.
Humor him half to death. Boss him out
of his boot. Always have the last word.
Be extra cross on wash day. Quarrel
with him over tritles. Never have meals
ready time. Run bills without his know
ledge. Vow vengeance OH all his relations
Let him sew the buttons on his shirts
Pay no attention to household expenses
Give as much as he earns in a month for
new bonnet. Tell him as plainly
as possible that you married him for a
living Raise row with him if he dares
to bow pleasantly to Il lady friend, Pro-
vide any pickup meal for him when you
do not expect company. Get everything
the woman next door gets, whether you
can afford it or not. Tell him that the
children inherit all their mean trait OF
character from his side of the family
Let it out sometimes when you are vexed
that you wish you had married some 9th
err fellow that you used TO go with. Give
him to understand as soon as possible af-
ter the honeymoon that kissing is well
enough for spoony lovers, but that fol
married people it is very silly PrcsbMer.

HOME SNUGGERY.

There should always be one spot in the
home sacred to the best interest of the
family. A room full of comfort, where
the sofa is made to lounge on, the chairs
to tilt back, and the carpet to dig the toes
in. Where bills and pickering are alike
forbidden, and the strait-laced propriety
of the dining room or parlor can be aban-
doned for romps and story telling; where
the freight has glow Of old-fashioned
comfort, and the very shadows are tame
and approachable; where dust doesn't
show, and nothing is too fine to use, and
at the door of which all the burdens drop
off as they will sometimes at the gate OF
heaven-a room whose speech is silver,
and where silence is golden when the
tranquility of a summer sabbath is brok,
en- only by sweet murmers of love and
confidence; where a happy cat curls her.
self to repose in blissful affinity with q
peaceful house dog; place where the
wicked cease from troubling and tho
weary are at rest-a sort of moral lean-to
which adjons the house beautiful. Here
Jacobs ladder is planted; the angels as
cend and descend bringing with them end
less measures of peace. Every home should
have this one place of retreat. 1t is NJ
impossible place. Love is the architect
content is its atmosphere, We find it in
our friends homes, often where least ex.
pected, and are surprised because it il
never a show-place. 1t issimply "a colder
room" in wooden house.

A committee, composed of three we'll
known Young gentlemen of near Elkton,
planned surprise party, II few days since
to be given at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. ID. Bowen, who reside in alarre rooiny
house, some three miles north of Elkton.
Wednesday night was the time, and the
day closed in very unpropitious. This
did not deter the light hearted and mer-
ric, and before s o'clock the family in
question were given genuine surprise
by host of "surprisers." Messrs. McCrone
were on hand, and before long old time
memories were awakened by seeing cou-
pies vending their way through the
waltz and quadrille Refreshments were
served about midnight, and when the
morning star was beginning to wane, the
merry-makers babe each other goodbye.

In Memoriam.

Martha +. MORRISON, departed this life
ut the house Of her father in Newark,
January 18th, 1889.
The subject of his memoir was one of
those happy beings, who are sent from
Heaven, for short time to brighten our
days upon earth and to Irvine themselves
around our hearts to draw us heaven
ward. Although afflicted she exhibited
great intelligence. Her disposition was
good and very obliging, and anything she
had that her parents or sister wanted was
cheerfully given them. During all her
life and in her last illness she bore all
her suacrings with great patience never
becoming fretful, and taking the medi.
cine given her without murmur. She
was the pet of her parents and the Idol
of her sister Sadly indeed do they miss
her from around their home, but what is
their loss, is her eternal gain.
Gone, our darling, gone forever
With thy loving smile so sweet
And thy voice is heard
Echuing in the golden street.
Loving hands 50 gently laid thee
In thy low and narrow bed,
And the cold damp earth as gently
Piled above thy lovely head.
| Thou art gone from earth my sister,
Thou hast passed away our love;
Thou hast gone with thy bright smiles
To gladden. the paradise above
We know thy precious form has
Passed deaths gloomy portal,
Yes we know thy spirit mild
Has now become immortal.
And everywhere we turn our eyes
Are marks of thy swift fingers,
| But we turn away and weep
The touch is all that fingers.
That true sweet face and happy smile
That God to thee had given,
| We shall never, never see again
Until we meet i'll Heaven.
Oh it is heavy grief to bear,
Thou high and holy One,
But give unto our breaking hearts
Strength to say, "Thy will be done"

Enlarging the Town Limits.

A town meeting was held in Exchange
Hall last week to decide upon enlarging
our town. The committee previously APP
pointed to examine into the matter, gave
an adverse report, which efIectually put
an end to the project for the present. We
are inclined to believe that upon the
whole this is wise conclusion. Yet il
the owners of property through which
new streets will pass would consent to be
assessed for portion of the benefit these
streets would be to them, the burden OF
extra tax would fall lightly upon the
majority of Taxpayers.

Menuring frees and Vines.
Tribune and Farmer. 7


1t is supposed By some that when any in.

can not bs used too plentiillly, and they &c
coEdiDgly mulch and manure 20 the damage
OF whatever ia planted out, snd wonder tlal
1t does not grow more vigorously, We have
known fsTmers when setting out grape vines,
to dig pit and throw in the carcasses OF two
or three sheep or a bushel or two OF old
bones from slaughter houses to each root,
giving only light covering OF dirt, belisv-
ing thRt IL bones Rre good for vines, the roo S
WOULD run down into the putrid flesh or the
dry bones, and feed plentifully thereon.
Nov. any one knows that roots OF SEEDS
placed in dung hill, will not thrive, aud
this should teach all that manure only far
nisbes portion OF the elements required
for the support OF vegetation, and that
bed OF manure or bones beneath tree or
vine, is only an inpediment to its growth.
a pint of bone dust will work S greater ben-
eft TO q tree or vine, when worked into the
surface SOIL than q bushel Of whole bones
under the roots. and so viii few shovelfuls
of dec0mp0sed s0ds increase the growth of
any Plsnt more than a cart load OF manure
put in beneath the roots.
Digging pits, especially in clay soil, and
filling them with any material before setting
out shrubs is bad plan, for this excavation
will hold water as well as q cistern, and the
roots of the trees or vines will for several
months IN the year have to stand in a com.
plete mud-hole. When setting out a single
tree or vine loosen up the coil no deeper
than the hard.pan and work in rich soil and
loan, being sure TO get fine dirt around the
hbrous roots. When planting an orchard,
unless the ground is thoroughly under
drained dig no deeper than the pillow goes,
then the drainage will be sufficient to keep
the tree from drowning out. Never mix
fresh barnyard manure with the soil when
planting orchards or vineyards.
