Husbands.

w uO HIS ever
we'll, all the relations of the home
So many homes have been made un
happy and wretched by mistakes il
association and in government, a
well as in duties and in service, thai
we are, at least. safe in saying tina
no uniform theory of home-life has
ever been adopted; if, indeed, it has
ever been suggested or conceived.
To make home happy, what are the
duties of the husband, and what the
service of the wife? Are they sep
arate and distinct, or, cooperative
and sympathetic? 1t is beneath the
dignity of man to be familiar, from
active contact, with all details of
home life; or, is it becoming, when
opportunity affords, to fnd him side
by side, with his wife, subject to her
control, in the work she does, in the
routine of her service?
God intended the home should he
the antetype of Heaven-love its rul
ing principle, with gentleness, for
bearance and forgivness governing its
associations and making its union; in
all these we believe, for the best
good there must be the sympathy of
service.
We are sure that this idea, in its
ha rnoahnA
without the sweet influence and strong
support of Christian life and Chris
tian character; yet it can be ap
preached, and he lives best, who
preserves the sanctity of his home,
in the loving kindness of its inmates
through their sympathy Of help.
Whatever may be the life before the
world, in It's charities, its devotions
and its usefulness, 1t Is all belied, if
these things are forgotten in the
more secret and sacred precincts of
the home There are times and places
in which the husband should be
the help-mate, and, if need be, the
servant of his wife.
Some little time since, we looked
into the face of tired woman, bur-
dened with the cares of large and
growing household From early
dawn until late at night, she strug-
gled patiently with her servants, her.
children and her duties; her devo-
ton was as sweet as her manner was
gentle. Her energy was greater
than her strength, and her duties
were more than she could discharge.
Brave and true aud faithful, "she did
what she could" Tired and exnaus-
ted, she folded her arms and laid
down to die, a martyr to duty. Her
husband, with ample time on his
hands, never ordered the grain to the
mill never measured a meal to be
served ;never helped to make bed or
dust a room too much of gentle
man ever to know the details nf do
mestic life; he looked upon his wife
as she faded away without his sym
pathy of service.
Was he right to withhold it? Let
the question he asked in all the
homes where we are heard, and let it
be answered. Is there husband
who makes his homo as it should be,
who has. never been with his wife, or
rather for his wife; to the coffee
mill, the sugfr barrel, the -four bin,
the meal tub, the meat house or the
potato bank? AS the beautiful char
ity of the Scripture Is not embodied
in, "be ye warm and be ye filled,
so the sweet devotion of home life is
not found in empty professions Of
affection, without the fullest and ten
derest sympathy of home service

THE Monroe City News tells of a
swindler who came to that place sew
eral weeks since for the purpose Of
buying hay. He said his name was
Edward l.. SeltzG, that he was paid
by the government to buy hay for
government purposes, and exhibited
several vouchers to prove his asser
ton. He managed to contract for
and ship SIX car loads of hay without
paying any money therefor. The
windIer then left on the railroad
saying that he was going 10 Ely Sta
ton and would be back the same
morning. He wrote back that he
W : in Quincy and was going to La
belle, and would return two days
afterward. Nothing wrong was gus
pected till the last mentioned time
for his return passed and the swind-
Ter had not yet arrived. The hay
that WAS bought, delivered, and not
shipped was attached, and interested
parties sent to st. Louis with the
hope of saving the hay that had been
shipped, with what success they
met the News had not learned. The
time seems to have arrived when il
is altogether unsafe to trust stran.

A MAN cannot live IN the world
without being weighed all the time.
There is only one story told in the
Bible of "A man having the fact that
he was below weight, like the stones
of false balance, written right down
on the wall of his dining-room and
yet there may be hundred persons
all around us who have each weighed
us and found us wanting. A man
really wanting in moral chara cter
cannot conceal it, and he walks
through the world with a hundred
people whispering, ''mene, meme, p"
behind his back. He never sees
the words written down, as Belshaz-
Ear did, on the wall, hut they are
written down all the same by the
angle of record, and one of these
days the book will be opened in his
sight. Belshazzar only got little
the start of thousands of other peo
pie; for he saw the record an hour
before he died and they read its YER
dict an hour after. can better
say that each man writes down bis
own weight by the side of each act
of his in an indellible record,
which it will require no Daniel to
read to him so long as his soul exists.

Il thought sometime ago I'd try
and tell that forlorn swain from Sal
Isbury how to read. If he will read
the following correctly he will get
the true idea. For example:
Happy thai man may pass his life,
Who is directed by n wife;
Who's free from matrimonial chains,
Is sure to suffer for his pains.
Adam could find no solid peace,
Fill ne beheld a womau's face;
When Eve was given him for mate,
Adam in a happy state.
For in the female race appear
True friendship. and heart sincere:
Hypocrisy, deceit, and pride,
In woman never can reside.
What tongue is able to unfold,
The virtues you in her behold,
The faults that IN a woman dwell,
Are almost imperceptible.
They're always Studying to employ
Their leisure hours in virtuous JOY;
Their time in malice, and in lies
To spend, ne'er in their thoughts ariss.
Destruction to those men, l say
Who no regard to women pay;
Who make the fair their chief delight,
Keep reason always ia their sight"
Let me add: ''If at first you don't
succeed, try, try again" Don't cry
"sour grapes. ~

SAM JONES says: Il sometimes
go to place and find the preacher IN
the shaft, pulling the whole load,
with his tongue lOlhng out, and the
whole church upon the wagon, some
dancing, some gambling, some
drinking, some swearing, some fuss,
ing, some praying, some weeping,
some shoughting, some tattling, some
scoldIng-and at all times taking a
whack at the poor little half dead
preacher, pulling for dear life.

CORRESPONDENTS of the Macon pa
pers from Brewer say the future
prospects of that city are not en-
couraging. Her coal fields have de-
veloped town of 1,200 inhabitants,
but rival mines are furnishing the
Kansas City and st. Joe markets
with coal, several cents on the bushel
cheaper than it can be furnished
from the Bevier mines, hence the
trade and work has fallen off gre ,tly.
Their only hope for saving the town,
as they think, is TO sink shafts to the
thick vein of coal, supposed to be
over seven feet, at q depth of $50
feet below the surface.
