WE ALL DREAM.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The young man dreams Of the
young girl, and the young girl
dreams of the young man. The
old maid dreams of the man who
once loved her, and her magma
tion fills up to date the vacuum in
her heart and her life. 1t must be
awfulIy comfortable to dream of a
husband who has been true to you
all his life. 1t is given to every
woman TO dream of a husband
who will be true to her, but to
dream of one who has been is

crustiest old bachelor dreams some

and he knows how she would have
accepted him. lie was afraid she
would then, aud so he didn't ask
her; but it isa cons ilation to re-
fleet in his growing age that she
most certainly would have married
him. But there are so few old
bachelors nowadays. Divorce is
so easy that everybody risks things
aud gets married. Aud | suppose
there are men and women who

THE FARMERS WIFE.
Iowa State Register.

After long experience and close
observation.it is pretty clear that
success on the farm is more fire.
quently attributable to the pru-
dence, carelul industry and frugal
ity of the wife. than to the hard
working but more reckless man.
The men of the farm are frequent
ly extravagant, careless, ill-temper-
ed and untidy, which have to be
overcome by the merry heart and
cheerful cOuntenance Of the loving
wife and mother. BY the world
generally there is seldom awarded
q full share of merit and praise 10
the women, who rise with the dawn
and pursue with unflagging devc-
ton the daily round Of labor and
patience. The man of the farm
may labor hard and long, but his
life is more freqently relieved by
his contact with the busy world
his mind relieved by conflicts with
commercial enterprises. But the
wife tolls on in the narrow limits
of her home, and care OF her family
night and day. 1t is true the king
dom IL her own, and the true wo-
man makes 1t kingdom Of love
and happiness.
In late article in the Register
1t was shown that there were a
greater proportion OF farmers
wives went insane than any other
class. The highest reward which
a good and devoted wife Graves is
the pure strong love and unwayer-
ing devotion of her husband. II
she fails in this the hope and am.
bltIon of her life is gone, and con.
fined in her narrow home, with
nothing to cheer her labors or her
life, except that death will soon sci
her free, there is no wonder that in
sanity clouds her existence. Cheer
less drudgery day after day, brok
en- rest by reason of feeble or sickly
children, If she does not receive
that constant love and tender care
which inspired aud strengthened
her in giving up her life in the ser
vice of the man she loved, there is
no wonder that her intellect is oft.
en- obscured by that fearful cloud
of insanity.
The husband is frequently fear
fully responsible for this terrible
calamity. He does not sufficiently
study the situation and wants Of
his faithful wife. 1t is not merely
food and clothing that her heart
desires. The refined woman hal
delicate tastes, She has Il craving
for the decoration OF her home,
though it may be cheap and simple
Some need music and flowers, IL
accord with the refinement OF theiI
hearts. The woman of mind anC
of correct notions of right and jus
tice frequently pines secretly owe
the determinations made agalns
her in procuring labor saving ma
chiuery for the farm, whilst man,
of like convenience for the house
the kitchen aud the dairy arc neg
lectcd. and she tolls on with tn
WAYS and fashions of the past ages
Women OF spirit feel these thing
keenly, though their self-sacrliiC
: ing spirit keeps them silent. Me-
too frequently forge: the sweet lo'
Jag girls won from fine aud happ.
homes IN their craze aud rush ate
fine stock, lands and buildings
while that noble wife, worth NOR
to him than all else in the world,
wearing away her physical abb
ity, aud silently fretling away he

An IMPRESSION seems to prevail

An impression seems to prevail
among farmers that sheep raising
does not pay. If sheep are pur'
chased and turned into the pasture,
and only looked after at shear
ing time, or when the farmer
desires fresh mutton for dinner,
and are permitted to take their
chances of living against the
lorays of dogs and the inclemency
of the weather, it does not pay
but when the farmer gives it the
same relative attention he gives
his cornGeld, sheep raising is abun'
dainty profitable.
