THE HARD LOT OF SOME WIVES.

L go out to Gods acre, and I read upon
the tom6stones of the poor wives who
sleep quietly beneath the daisies, with
their hands folded upon their breasts, OF
their virtues, and / think that some of
the inscriptions should read, Died of
Overwork." II life is battle to a man,
it is more to woman. Woman does not
draw her inspiration from the same source
as man. Three thing she needs and must
have: First your society and companion
ship; second your confidence, and third
your love. She doesn't want to wait I'M
til she is dead to read her virtues on her
tombstone. She wants her husband to
tell her how much he loves her. There
are couples happy in the eyes of society,
who in the home are nothing to each 9th
or. There are couples, who in society
blossom all over with courtesies to each
other, but who in their own homes are
stolid as oysters. In society the husband
will almost break his neck to pick up her
handkerchief if it falls, and at home will
allow her to carry the coal-hod. Or he
is attentive to other mems wives and
neglecttul of his own. sometimes mar
vel at the GOODNESS with which man
asks tenderly-reared maiden to leave her
luxurious home to cast her lot with him
upon the untried sea of matrimony, and
l marvel at the faith of the maiden who
accepts the offer, saying, "Whither thou
goest l will go, and where thou lodgest 1
will lodge; thy people shall be my people
and thy God my God" Gentlemen, L
submit that grave obligations grow ont
of this love and that we owe it to them
to live for their happiness by doing
everything for them in our power.-Rev.

The Household

Workings Of rich yellow silk are in cir
cular shape. They are edged with lace
and adorned with painted butterflies.
Pretty toilet cushions are two bags of
blue satin fastened together. They are
edged with oriental lace, and a bit OF
Turkish embroidery is arranged across
the end Of each bag.
There are many ways OF warming over
potatoes, but the best method Of all is to
fry them in butter with a few stalks Of
celery chopped fine, and season with salt
and pepper.
Recipe for Street Potato Pie.-Make
a rich pie crust. and fill it with thin elices
of apple and OF steamed sweet potato:
spread thickly with butter and sugar
and grated nutmeg. Cover with a thin
crust and bake.
A useful present for wRkeful invalid
is soft silken bag filed with pine cones
or pine needles, the latter, however, need
replenishing occasionally. They can be
embroidered with appropriate notices.
Old garments that may be utilized in 4
hundred ways, for rugs, Innings, cushions
and the, like, are sometimes rendered
worthless because, when no longer fit for
wear, they are not ripped to pieces,
brushed and put away.
Tender feet may be hardened, it is
said, by rubbing common hard soap in
the inside of the socks once or twice a
week. Perfect cleanliness and frequent
changing OF the stockings will improve
the condition of the feet in every respect.
A pongee scarf has hemstitched borders
with full fringe, which is formed by turn
ing the material sufficiently wide to al
low for the fringe. Above these borders
ID drawn work filled in on one end with
shaded pink silk and on the other with
blue silk.

Darwin has made some experiments in
regard to the fertilization of flowers by
insect agency. He selected 100 heads of
red clover which he excluded from the
visits OF insects, but gave them other
requisites of reproduction, namely SUM-
light and moisture. He also selected 100
heads and left them free to the visits of
insects, with the following results: The
100 heads that the insects did not get to
did not produce single seed, while
those that were visited by the insects
produced $1,000 seeds, thus showing that
insects are great factor in the fertiliza-
ton OF flowers. Red clover was intro
duced into Australia, and seed taken
from here would grow and produce a
good crop, but there was one great draw
back, and that was this, tho clover would
not reproduce itself, they could not
raise seed from it, as the proper insect
necessary to its fertilization was wanting.
They then introduced several colonies of
humble bees, after which the clover bore
seed the same as in this country. This
goes to chow that Mr.. Bundle Bee has
something to do in the raising of clover
seed

The Ever Golden "Now.' >

Now, the ever golden now, is the time
to start any new departure in the line of
better methods, or more profitable crops.
If you propose to intensity youc farming,

Needless Fences.

We have reached that age when, where
the COW Is suppressed in all the better
nelghborhoods, we can take down the
front fences, leaving nothing but a low
curling to determine the outer edge of
the LOT. This idea Is already extensive
ly abroad, and would be much more uni
Versally adopted we're it not for the
groundless fear that our neighbors would
trespass upon US. Suppose that your
nelghbor has children, and that they
sometimes step upon your lawn, you are
none the worse for that, while they may
be much che better for it. That you will
be injured is mostly suppositiop. The
very fact that you indicated such conf
dence In the neighbors as to take down
the barriers between lots will cause them,
will educate them, to respect your rights,
and you will seldom have cause to COM
plain. Remove the Enclosures in front
OF each house in a block and an open
stretch of lawn and beauty extends be-
fore those houses not seen before. Each
resident becomes the subject for congrat-
ulstion because of living in a pleasant
neighborhood. All are on their good
behavior, and all are improved by the
change. Aside from the first cost. the
fence Is constant source of expense. -

SIMPLE CREEDS.
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

If this were our creed, it were creed enough
To keep us thoughtful and make us brave
On this sad journey DER pathways rough,
That leacs us steadily on to the grave:
Speak no evil, and cause no ache;
Utter no jest that can pain awake;
Guard your actions and bride your tongue
Words are adders when hearts are stung.
If this were our aim, it were all in sooth
That any soul needs to climb TO heaven,
And we would not cumber the way of truth
With dreary dogmas or rites priest-given:
Help whoever, whenever you can;
Man forever needs aid from man;
Let never a day die in the west
That you have not comforteds me sad breast
Were this our belief we need not brood
Ger intricate isms or modes of faith,
For this embodies the highest good
For the life we are living, or after death:
We meet no trials we do not need;
Well borne sorrow is holy seed
That shall rise in harvest of golden grain;
And wise soul ever thanks God for pain.

Double Dwarf Suntiowers,

A new style of sunaower, as yet bu
little known to the public, is that OF
Hettanthus multiforus ptenus. Ii Is
hardy perennial plant, and in this local..
ty stands out during winter without pro-
lection. In regions more severe it can
be wintered by covering with leaves or
stable litter. Each year the plant grows
into handsome, compact, pyramidal
bush, about four feet high, and almost
literally covers itself with golden yellow
flowers, about the sizs of dahlias. Ia
this condition at first sight it may be
easily mistaken for a plant OF yellow
dahlia. 1t is very desirable for the Dor
der of perennials, OF on the margin OF
shrubbery. As cut flower it is variously
applicable, and will be found quite SER
viceable.-Vich's Magazine for NoUem-

TRAIN STOPPED BY A MOUSE

Did any one ever nagiue that mouse
could stop railway train? 1t seems to
be impossible; nevertheless it was done
recently at the town of Carpi, near Mo
dena, in Italy.
On the italian railroads an electrical
apparatus, upon the departure of a
train from any station, rings six strokes
upon gong in the next station. The
station master at Carpi, hearing his gong
ring three strokes where there should be
six, Immediately came to the conclusion
that there was something wrong on the
line and ordered up the electric signals
of warning.
The train, which by this time was under
full Roadway, came to dead stop.
Than began a transfer of telegraphic
messages. The passengers we're anxious
to know what was the matter. They
waited while the messages went back and
forth. The inquiry established the fact
that every thing was right ON the line
and the train was ordered forward after
considerable delay.
The station master about this time
thought it might be we'll to look into his
gong, and there he found, stuck fast be-
tween the cogs of the electrical apparatus
poor little mouse.
The unhappy animal had happened to
be in the interior of the click when it
"struek one" and down he attempted to
run, but was caught between the muir
derous wheels. His little ny was big
enough 10 stop the whole apparatus aud
consequently the train as well.

The land that. from the rule of kings,
In freeing us itself made free
Our old-world sister to us brings
Her sculptured dream of liberty.
Unlike the shapes on Egypt's sands,
Uplifted by the toil-worn slave,
On freedoms soil. with freemen's hands,
We rear the symbol free hands gave.
o France, the beautiful to thee,
Once more, debt of love we owe:
In peace beneath thy Fleur-de-lis
We nail a later Rochambeau.
Rise, stately symbol, holding forth
Thy light and hope to all who sit
In ch aims of darknessl Belt the earth
With watch-fires from thy torch uplit.
Reveal the primal mandate still
Which chaos heard ana ceased to be;
Trace on mid air tn eternal will,
In signs of fire :"Let man be Free
Shine far, shine free, a guiding light
To Reasons ways and Virtues aim
a lightning flash the wretch to smite
Who shields his license with thy name

AN HUNGARIAN HERO OF AS.

hungarian papers announce the death
of old Ference Renyi, a hero of one of the
most terrible episodes of the Hungarian
war OF independence in 184S. For thirty
six years Renyi has been lunatic in a
Buda-Pesth asylum, and the history of his
suff6rings is recorded after his death by
the Petit Parisien. Ference Renyi was
young schoolmaster of twenty-seven
years at the beginning of the war, proud,
handsome and full of buoyant life. His
pupils adored him, and he was always
came with his violin to play to their
dances or whether his voice was heard
among the patriots chanting the praise
of their country. He lived with his
mother and sister and was engaged to 6
bright young Hungarian girl, when the
Government, after proclaiming the indie
pendence of the country, called all good
patriots to arms. Ference left his school
and enlisted in the ranks. One day, af-
ter having fought valiantly at the head of
detachment of soldiers, he was taken
prisoner by the Austrians. Brought be-
fore General Haynau, Renyi refused to
indicate the place where the rest of his
regiment lay hidden. On learning that
his home was in neighboring village the
general sent for the mother and sister and
brought them into the room where the
prisoner was kept. "Now give ma the in
formation I require, if the lives of these
two women are dear to you" said Gener-
al Haynau to him. Renyi trembled, his
eyes filled with tears, but he remained 81
lent. "Do not speak, my son." cried the
old mother, edo your duty, and think
not of me, for at the best I have only a
few days to live" eff you betray your
country" added his sister, "our name
will be covered with shame, and what is
life without honor? Do not speak, Ference
Be calm! shall know how to die"
Renyi remained silent, and in a few min
utes later the two women were dead An
other trial was to come. General Haynau
sent for Renyi's future wife, who was
weaker than his mother and sister. With
wild cries the girl flung herself at her
lovers feet, pleading, "Speak, speak,
Ference See, am young. love you;
do not let me be killed. You will save
yourself and me if you speak out. When
you are free we will go far away and be
happy. Speak, my Ference, and save your
future wife" She took his hands, cling
ing to him as drowning man does to his
last support. The young Hungarian was
choked with tears, but suddenly he
pushed the girl aside and turned away.
Once more she cried to him, but he did
not heed her. Then the soldiers seized
her. "Be cursed" che shrieked, 'be
cursed, you who let me die; you who kill
me; who are my assassin" Renyi was
silent. The girl was shot and the pris-
oner was taken back into the cell, but his
reason had fed, and be was dismissed.
Some friends found him and gave him
shelter; till after Hungary was once
more suppressed and peace established,
they obtained place for him in the asy-
lum in which has he recently died. Pail

THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING.
BY DIR. o. W. HOLMES.

Lord of all being! Throned afar.
Thy glory flames from sun and star;
Center and soul of every sphere,
Yet to each loving heart how near!
Sun of our life, thy quickeIing ray
Sheds on our path the glow of day;
Star of our hope, thy softened light
Cheers the long watches OF the night.
Our midnight is thy smile withdrawn,
Our noontide is thy gracious dawn,
Our rainbow arch thy mercy's sign.
All, save the clouds of sin, are thine.
Lord of all life, below above,
Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love
Before thy ever blazing throne
We ask no lustre of our own.
Grant us thy truth to make us free,
And kindling hearts that burn for thee,
Till all thy living affairs claim
One holy light, one heavenly fame.

A Quarrel on Min Street.

A dispute arose yesterday morning in
front Of Il. Sader's store on Main street
between Doc Wright, a c%attleman, and
j. II. Shoemaker, the butcher, over the
ownership OF a steer that the latter had
killed recently. Strong and abusive Ian
guago was used. and for a time a ~fisticuff
looked highly probable. During the quar-
rel 1t is alleged Wright threatened the life
OF Shoemaker, and for so doing q warrant
was sworn out to require him TO produce
bonds to keep the peace. The cause came
on for trial before Justice Harmon In the
afternoon, but owing to the quantity of
testimony adduced ID was at 5 o'clock con-
tinued until IL o'clock this morning.
