For TAs AvkasSato TrGvsss,
 TELL YOUR WIFE.
BY MARIE MORROW.

lfyou are in any trouble or quandary, tell your wife, that is, if you have one, all about it at once. Ten to one her in- vention will solve your difficulty sooner than all your logic. The wit of woman has been praised, but her instincts are quicker and keener than her reason. Counsel with your wife, or your moths ', or sister, and be assured ,ha, light will flash upon your darkness Women are too commonly adjudgeo as verdans in all but purely womanish affairs. No philosophical student of the sex thus sd. judges them. Their intuition, or in. sight, is the most subtitle, and if they cannot sec cat in the meal, there is no cat there. In counseling one to tell his trouble to his wife, we would go further, and advise him se keep none of his ai. tairs secret from her. Many home has been happily saved, and many a fortune retrieved by mans full con6dehce in his better half. Woman is far more seer and prophet than man, f she be given . chance. As general rule, wives con- 6de the minutest of their plans and thoughts to their husbands, having no involvements to screen iTom him. Why not reeiprocass, if but for pleasure Of meeting confidence with confidence {? We a1e certain that no man succeeds 90 well in the world as he who taking a partner for life, makes her the partner -ef all his purposes and hopes. What is wrong in his impulses os judgment. she will check and sst right with her almost universally right instincts. Helpmset" " was no insignificant title, as applied to mans companion. She Is meet help to him in every darkness, difficulty and sor- row oi life; aed what she most ersvss and desires, is eo.fdsses without which love is never frss from . shadow.

LINDEN.

LINDEN, Jan. 9.-EDs. DEMOCRAT:
Not seeing any items from Linden
in your valuable paper, l feel
prompted to write few lines.
Linden is alive and as lively as
our reighboring towns.
The holidays passed off very
pleasantly. The P. M. Sabbath school
gave a Christmas tree on Christmas
Eve, and melted about S25, which
goes into the treasury. The NJ. e.
Sabbath school gave a dime enter
tainment on the evening of the
,26th, consisting of speaking and
singing. The music was good and
some of the speaking excellent. II
passed off nicely, and all who at
tended were well pleased, and i
Melted the school something over
$50, afte~ admitting the scholars
free.
On New Years day the NJ. E.
church held it's annual tea meeting;
which was also a success financially,
netting the church about SS5.
Linden is again minus a physi-
clan. Dr. Stevens, who has been
with us little over one year, has
gone to Laramie City to practice his
profession with a former school
mate, who is enjoying an extensive
practice. Laramie City is situated
on the U. P. R'y, about seven thou
sand feet above the level of the sea /;
has a population of about $500.
Although the doctor had been with
us but short time, he was building
up a good practice and was making
money. He was successful as a
physician, and the people of Linden
were sorry to see him leave. He
leaves many warm personal friends
behind who will remember him and
wish him success in his new field.
His drug store is at present in
charge of Mrs. Stevens, who expects
to remain with us until she can dis
pose of the stock, OF until spring.
