ADREAM OF HOME.


The suns rays slant the path along,
The air is balmy as in jane;
The robin sings his evening song,
And through the sky the new gray moon
Moves calmly on, untrammeled, tree'
But something whispers unto me-
"Not YETI
The brook sings as it gently flows,
The frog croaks by the waters rim;
There, in content, the lily grows,
Aud there the fishes, darting, swim;
| hear and see the old brown mill,
But. ahl these sad words haunt me still
"Not yetW
In clover meadows broad and fair,
In drOwsy mood the cows await
The farm boys call upon the air,
While, with his pail, beside the gate
Which opens down the grassy lane,
Nv brother breathes these words of pain
Not yet"
The steepled church. the schoolhouse near,
The wood where have roamed at Will,
The quaint, old farmhouse, TO me dear,
Ny youthful home-my manhoOd'sstill-
/ see these as in days gone by,
But something whispers (as sigh)-
"Not yet ~
0 Hearts, in whom there is no May
Who ycarn TO hear my footballs where
The path, so beaten, winds its way
Binder old trees, so grand and fair =
Dear Hearts, who long for me to come,
/ can but say can 20 home
Not yet"
For longer, still, your breast must know
A sadness free from all disguise,
Ere / can leave these scenes and 20
Aud look into bright, loving eyes,
And clasp the hands so warm and kiss
The lips I've pressed 50 oft in bliss,
Not yet"
Forgotten, but as sweet ard strong
As when one dreamful Autumn day
l said "GoOd bye and passed along
Down the old walk, and went away
Not thinking there would come a day
When l should have--as nOw-to say
"Not YETI
Alas, not yet Far, far from this;
Still must I wait. All can do
Is Just to wait long, long kiss
Beloved with love, o Hearts, to you,
And murmur these sad words once more,
Unthought of in the days of yore--

suggestions to Wives.

Do remember that you are mar
ried to a man and not to god be
prepared for imperfections.
Do anticipate the discovery by
your husband that you are 'Only q
woman;' if you were not he would
not care about you.
DO, once in aw hile, let your hus-
band have the last word; it will
crafty him and be no particular
loss to you.
Do be reasonable; it is a great
deal to ask under some circum-
stances, but do try ; reasonable
women are rare-be rare.
DO remember that servants are
made of the same material as you
are; little coarser- grained per-
haps, but the same in essentials.
Do try and forget yourself; as to
your husband, forget that you mar
ried him and remember that he
married you; he will then proba'
bly, do the reverse.
Do let him read the newspaper
at breakfast table ; it is unsoclable,
but then it is only trifle after all
and he likes it.
Do let him know more than you
do once in awhile; it keeps up his
self-respect, and you will be none
the worse for admitting that you
are not actually infallible.
DO read something in the papers
besides fashion hotes and society
columns; have some knowledge oI
what is going on in foreign coun'
tries.
DO be a companion to your hus
band if he is wise man and II
he is not, try to make him become
your companion. Raise his stand
ard. do not let him lower yours.
Do respect your husbands preJu'
dices. DO respect his relations,
especially his mother-she is not
the less his mother because she il
your mother-in-law; she loved hin
before you did.

A Touching Incident.

A little girl of Baltimore about
ten years of age, was visiting her
aunt in the country. They were
discussing a certain book, and the
aunt remarked:
Your birthday is near; per-
haps your mamma will buy it for
you for your birthday present.
A tinge Of sadness rested on the
sweet young face as she quickly
answered:
She could give me something
else would rather have, something
would rather have than anything
else in the world
'Well, Pm sure said her aunt,
'yOur mamma would get it for
you, if it does not cost too much
1t will not cost money replied
the child, 'it will not cost any
thing
But she could not then be per-
suaded TO tell what it was. After
a long time the shrinking little
spirit said:
'Auntie, | will tell you part it
is something she gave me before
little brother came. 1t is just not
to do SOMETHING for that one day F;
now dent you knowF
The discerning auntie drew the
little one to her, and asked:
Is it that your mamma should
not scOld you on your birthdayr
A trembling Yes, and long the
dear head rested in silence on the
bosom of that loving, patient aunt
When heard this little incident
related by that aunt herself, my
heart wept, and quickly asked
myself, 'Am / not that mother

WHAT MEN NEED WIVES For.

ly than a wife. If this is all when a
young man calls to see lady, send
him into the pantry to taste the
bread and cake she has made, send
him to inspect the needle.work and
bed making, or put broom in her
hands and send him to witness its
use. Such things are important,
and the wise young man willQulck-
ly look after them. But what the
true man wants is her companion.
ship, sympathy and love. The way
of life has many dreary places in
it, aud man needs companion to
go with him. A man is sometimes
oyertaken by misfortune; he meets
with failure and defeat ; trial and
temptations beset him; and he
needs one to stand by him and
sympathize. He has some hard
battles to fight with poverty, enc
mics, and with sin; and he needs a
woman that, when he puts his arms
around her, he feels he has some
thing to fight for; that will help
him to whisper words of counsel
and put her hand to his heart and
impart courage. All through life,
through storm, and through sun
shine, through conflict aud through
victory, through adverse and IA
vOrable winds, man needs wo'
mans love. The heart yearns for
it. A sisters or a mothers love
will hardly supply the need.

According to the Chicago Inter Oceans al

A short Grain Crop.

According to reports from various Sec
tions of the county, says the Silver State,
the acreage sown to wheat and barley this
year will be much less than common.
There has been very little demand for bar
ley for two or three years past, and some
farmers in Paradise Valley have their gran
aries full, preferring to hold for higher
prices than TO sell at current Rates. AT
Guthrie's ranch in Grass Valley, twelve
miles south OF town, no grain whatever has
peer sown this Spring, as the granaries on
the ranch are filled with last seasons pro-
duct. At Lovelock the acreage is about
the same as last year. as the farmers of that
section have been selling their grain to
Reno millers or shipping it to tide water.

The ranges are by no means stocked to

day is said to be not far distant when the
business of cattlemen will be to grass the
ranges up to the demands Of the natural

At this season Of the year cattle are un-

when the skin is relaxed and the tissues
are sensitive to every change Of atmos-
