Make Your Home Beautiful.

Make your home beautiful-brng to 1t flowers;
Plant them around you TO bud and to bloom;
Let them give life to your oneiest hours
Let them bring light to enlven your gloom;
Make your work-one that never has sorowed--
OF music and sunshine, and gold summer air;
home world whose forehead has furrowed,
whose cheeks of bright beauty shall ever be fair
Make your home beautifu-weave round its portal
Wreaths of the Jassamine, and delicate sprays
OF red -fruted w0odbne with gray immortee
That blesscs and brightens wherever it strays.
Gather the blossoms too-one little flower,
Varied yerbenil or sweet mignonette,
Still may bring bloom to your desolate bower,
Still may bring something to love and to pct
Make your home bcautiful-sure its duty;
Call up your little oneE teach them to walk
Hand in hand with the ang6i o. DcaHty;
Encourage their spirits with Nature to talk
Gather them round you and let them be learning
Lessons that drop from the delicate wings
of the bird and the butterfy-cver returning
To Him who has made all these beautiful things
Make home hive where all the beautiful feelings
Cluster like bees and their honey dew brings,
Make it temple of holy rcyealmgs,
And Glove" its bright angel with "shaddowing wings"
Then shall it be, when afar on lifes pillows,
Wherever your tempest tossed children are flung,
They will long for the shades of the home sweeping willow
And sing the sweet song which their mother had sung

hints in rather suggestive manner, that the female
politicians in the field belong to the ''clinging va

the ''staying qualities" of the female politician are

Divorce.


A countryman stood in The door of the Chicago
courthouse one Saturday morning, not long ago,
watching an army of people who were streaming
into it's halls. AT last, overcome with curiosity, he
addressed a policeman standing near 'Can you
tell me where all them wimmen's goin' top
''Going? Going to get divorce. It's divorce
day in the courts, came the answer.
With such a common spectacle in view, it is not
surprising that congress adopted measures two
years ago to gather statistics regarding this condi-
ton of affairs in country. The ease with which
of their sanctity in measure "Whom God hath
joined together let no man put asunder," seem
solemn words to be so lightly considered. Some
wag thus construes modern marriage ceremony:
'Now pronounce you man and wife,
And whom Eve joined forever
The next best man may dsunite,
The first divorce court sever"
There are POO courts in the United States hay
ing divorce jurisdiction, and the official investiga
ton extends back twenty years-from 1886 to 1866.
The report in each case will give the ages of the
persons concerned, the cause for which divorce was
granted, whether the wife or the husband obtained
the divorce, the number of children, the length of
time the marriage lasted and any other facts which
may throw light on the subject. The ratio of mar
rage to divorce will also be computed. The sub
ject has never been 50 thoroughly investigated and
the cost to the government, it is estimated, has not
been less than 100000. The report will be ready
it is said, about January next, and some surprising
revelations may be anticipated
The publicity given by the press to all the details
of private nature that come up in the divorce
court are certainly most demoralzing. The most
facetious reporter is engaged for this line of work.
and the facts in the case get sadly entanged in his
fertile imagination, and no end of liberty with his
pen is granted him, so that he is enabled to spin
out most entertaining sensational chapter.
Doubtless this very unsayory publicity causes
many a long suffering man Or woman to hesitate
before sacrificing themselves on the altar of public
ridcule, but on the other hand still larger class
of people are led to disregard the sacredness of the
tie when they see daily the ease with which it is
dissolved
If the press powerful as it is, has no considera-
ton for the welfare of the people and the condition
of public morals congress would do good deed
when it made some stringent laws in this direction
When divorce jurisdiction is placed notch hiq
than state legislation, the people who woumv Who
profit by it, will perhaps take example from TIA A.
in Esops fables and not be so anxious ton, of
where they know they can't get out
