Child-LOve Dear to Women.

Even more true than for men is child-lOve
dear for women How dear none but those
who have been deprived of it can tell AL
unconfessed, the longing for the tiny, cling
ing arms and babyish kisses wears deeper and
deeper into sad old hearts. / think the sad
dest thing / ever heard was the bitter confes
sion of poor, crippled girl have known for
years. She was young woman when l was
a little girl. Even as long ago as that, can
remember the exquisite tenderness that used
sometimes to transform the poor twisted face
and make gentle the heavy, half-lifeless
hands. Once, not long ago, she was i'll and
was with her. A little whteheaded boy,
whom some one who loves him calls Thistle
blow" was nesting contentedly by her side.
allow you do love children, said thought
Iessly. "What pity you have not half a
dozen to keep you busy'
Heaven forbid that may ever see on any
wolnan's face again the look Of passionate re-
beilion that was on hers that moment. "I!'
she said. 81, poor accused thing! never
vet have seen woman SO wretchedly poor,
SO utterly miserable that did not envy her
the wedding ring upon her hand and the
puny, unloved, uncared for baby in her
arnsl"
Sometimes wonder if the children left to
the care of nurses and the contamination OF
the street would be SO left if for one moment
the fire that blazed in that poor cripple's
heart could shine in the breast of their care
less, fashionable mothers. If women could
once taste the pleasure of doing for and being
with their children it would not take them
long to learn that the happicst, most profit
able life is that of q conscientious, sweet
tempered, loving wife and mother.
While there is nothing in this world that

Man with q Foolish Wife.


Often, when going out of London about

fellows have wives, or sisters or daughters
who really help them, take the weight of
life little off their shoulders, expend their
substance wisely, keep from them domestic
worries, and, above all, take care of the
money!" "But for my wife l should have
been in the workhouse," is the secret con-
seriousness of many man; and it is a curious
fact that while many woman makes the
best of not too estirnable husband, no
power on earth can save a man who has got
an unworthy or even foolish wife. He
cannot raise her, and he himself will gradu-

has his work to do, and does it through pride,
duty, love, or a combination of all three,
usually without a word Of complaint-does it
till he drops. Men have q great deal of error
to answer for, but the silent endurance of

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO G. TABB
SN0DGRASS.

The brittle thread of life has again been sew
cred. Another brother has been called from
labor to rest. A welded link in the strong
chain of a common brotherhood has been
broken, and we stand around the open grave,
which holds all that is mortal of one we loved
so we'll, to testify our appreciation of the char
acter of lin who has gone on before. A gen.
ial nature; an uDselfish disposition; an ar
dent, true and trusted friend: courteous and
kind brother, has passed in and out among us
for the last time. Brother G. Tabb Snodgrass
is dead.

freed from the shackles of mortality, left them
only the lifeless clay. May our loss be his
gain. Therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of Brother G..
Tabb Snodgrass, the Masonic fraternity has
been deprived of an active and enthusiastic
advocate; the Brethren of true friend and

him.

members wear the usual badge of mourn ing

the same be sent to the family of our deceased

Invincbles and this / proudly an
swer with reflected credit, it is a body
of upwards of so intelligent gentle
men that have organized themselves
in the above style. They meet week
ly in the Grand Army Hall. The pro-
gramme is select readings, interes-
ting addresses, which are delivered
by its members. This organization
prides itself of its officers, a more eff
ficient set of young men can not be
found in the town. AS to the financial
basis, monthly dues has been the plan
adopted, this is the most essential
thing at the present; no organization
can be kept up without sufficient
funds. The different committees
serve in the main management of af-
fairs pertaining to its best welfare,

young men and middle aged, that
have during the past campaigns have
taken very prominent parts, and may
it be plainly understood that this is
not for the young men alone but, for
all good Republicans of good stand
ing. During the past month we have
taken in such men as Mr.. Higgins, a

DECLINE IN CARPETS. The progress
that has been made in Housekeeping can
be readily seen if the mind is allowed to
drift back few years. You would then
find one or two rooms in house carpet
ed, and no fancy ornaments to brighten
up the parlor or sitting room. Now, you
can rarely enter house that is not car
peted from kitchen to garrett. and instead
of the women scrubbing and washing the
floor, you will find them at some fancy
work, to brighten the rooms and make
home cheerful. This is as it should be.
One of the great reasons of this is the
great decline in the price of carpets.
bringing them within the reach of men
of moderate means. Note the difference ::
Good all wool filling carpets to-day are
80 cents, then they were IS cents Extra
Supers from 65 to IS cents. then 81 and
S1.25; Tapestry Brussels, 65 to 81. then
$3.50. We have now on hand decidedly
the largest and best stock of carpets we
have ever had, at prices from IS cents to
$1.25. As we have no extra expense
connected with this branch of our BUSH
ness. we can afford to sell them at less
profit than our neighbors, and will guar
antee to save you from five to ten cents
on every yard you buy. So all you have
to do is to come and examine our prices.

The funeral of w. S. Henshaw &C.
Cured Sunday from his late residence
on King Street, at 2:30 O'Clock. The
City Band played " Nearer my God
to Theen in sweet and solemn strains
as the casket was borne to the hearse.
The procession then formed on King
Street in the following order: The
City Band on the right, The Knight
Templars, The Legion of Honor, The
Masonic Lodges of this city and sur
rounding county. The corpse and pail
bearers. Members of the Bar, and
officers of the Court, carriages contain
lug family of deceased and friends.
The procession then moved to the
Episcopal Church, of which deceased
was member, where hundreds of
persons and even large number of
the organizations to which the de-
ceased belonged were unable to secure
even standing room. The streets were
lined with people on either side for
squares. Rev. Mr.. Roller delivered
the funeral Grafton, in which he al
luded to the certainty of death as ex-
cmnlified in the case of the deceased
being a man of such perfect physique
plucked from life in moment, as it
were, and that the deceased had
sought to live christian life, and in
robust health had thought it wise to
acknowledge Christ. After the funer-
al, the procession proceeded to Nor
borne Cemetery where the deceased
was inferred with the Grand Honors
of the Masonic Order Of which he was
also a member. The cemetery when
the procession arrived was crowded
with spectators. The day was beauti-
full and pleasant and the deceased be-
ing widely known throughout the
county, quite large number of per-
sons attended from the body of the
county. There has not been upon the
streets so large concourse of people
for years. Altogether more impress
sive spectacle has never been witness
ed here. The great company of people
stood mute as they realized that few
days ago the deceased was among
them, moving hither and thither,
active and full of life, perhaps the
most athletic man in the county. And
now in the deep stiffness ofdeath that
body was being carried to the grave
and that soul had flown into that
grandest mystery, Death, and each in
Voluntarily asked, ''can this be true?"
