DIPHTHERTA FROM AN UNCLEAx
CELLAR.

'Lcould not understand why that entire
family of seven children should be stricken
with pntrid diphtheria, till I had occasion
to go into their cellar" a fiiend said, who
had been summoned to help care for the
sick and dying children of a neighbor.
"We always thought the Wrights, with
their trim, whitewashed fences and out
buildings, their neatly kept door-yard and
garden, the evident constant warfare
against filth and slatterlfness of any kind,
the most intelligent and clearly of families
in u community, and l wondered what
possible breeding place for malignant
diphtheria could Turk about that home,
till | went into the cellar.
When l opened the stairwa y door. ahor-
rible stencil OF decaying vegetables and
tainted brine rushed up from the unventi-
lated, loathsome pit below. that they called
cellar. Theair was so heavy with mould and
stagnant impurities that the flame of the
candle that carried, flickered and Tapped
over, as though a weight had been laid on
it. =
Hardly had stepped from the bottom
stair, before my feet struck a slippery,
Shiny chute of rotten pumpkin, and l went
down into the dreadful mush that sent out
its pestilential whiffs from the very depths
of its qualification.
The candle still burned, and after hastily
rising from this unexpected tobogganing
across the cellar bottom, I held the sickly
flame high and low, scanning well that
breeding nest of diphtheria and other fear
full germs, before cutting the slices of
sailed pork, for which | had been sent to
bind upor.the poor little choked throats
up stairs.
Walls, green with mold and fungi; de-
cayed aud deeaying vegetables everywhere;
a slosh of rotten apples oozing their pun
gent juices from the bloated slaves of a
dozen barrels; a great bin of frozen, then
thawed potatoes, that to stir meant devel-
opment of gas, powerful enough to run an
electric plant if odor is power. Under the
stairs a heap Of pumpkins had been stored
in the late autumn, that decaying bloat-
months beforehand hoisted and rolled
apart some of the mushing, sliding spheres
falling directly in the pathway and max
ing the slippery chute that had unbalanced
and mired me; and IN every corner, putri-
flying stacks of turnips and cabbages send
ing out their. penetrating, loatbsome
breaths.
The cellar was as dark as a coal pit, the
little three-paned light under the dining
room windows being buried under the
winter that late May still found nnmoved.
The vile gases and stagnant air, thick
with dreadful odors and disease germs, had
no outlet of escape from the cellar, only by
stealthY fiItering through every possible
Granny and seam of the heavy timbered
ceiling into the living and sleeping rooms
overhead, and by strong rushes up the
stairway, whenever the opening cellar door
stirred a current upward"

MATREMoNY.

What is loyelier TO behold, more Of honor
and praise, than noble, good, true, I'M
selfish and unconventional woman? Are
they many? Are they few? Man, if you
find enc, consider yourself blessed, and
duly and rightly appreciate and deserve
this prize. 1 count a pure. intelligent,
well-bred woman the most attractive OBJ
ject of vision and contemplation in the
world-one who abHors deceit, trickery,
everything save honor and truth. Picture
such a woman as a wife, a mother, cannot
you clearly bring to your vision her home,
q place Of peace, harmony and content
ment? Oh. young man, look for such a
woman, if you are seeking happiness. If
this is your object, the right and only one
in contracting matrimony, and you are not
calculating Romeo, " search till You find
her, for she is 10 be found. Man, if you
want a wife, a companion, a heipmate, do
not expect to find her in the conventional
class. Oh. how | do hate conventional
ism! Give me a true, honest person, for
in these cases there is dependence. When
a woman eontemplates matrimony, her
only object is to marry the man of her
choice, solely for himself, thinking by the
union, peace and happiness will be brought
to their souls because she loves him, and
by holy cause. They plant a home where
there is a perfect blending of two noble
natures. Il is good for the eyesight to
view two souls mated. OH may we see
many OF them.
Women, look for good men. fyoA can't
find one of his kind, I implore you to take
none at all, Don't marry simply for a
home, a support, for the sake OF escaping
old maidenship, for it would be ten-fold
better to remain single, than to be an i'm
perfect wife, or a wife in name only. OH
how I wish | could talk with you, young
woman. Do not throw yourselves away.
How a woman can wed when she does not
love, is mystery to me. The same query
is applicable to men.
Another point: Happiness and selfish
ness can never flourish on the same stem;
one kills the other. To be welded happily
the promoter is e%ongeniality and anselish-
ness. A good woman will endure much
for her husband, a man for his wife. A
true woman will smile, cheer and help her
husband should clouds come. Then is the
time to test her character and solve the
problem. the object Of matrimony. Men,
look for a woman with a heart, a soul. Do
not let their facial beauty be their sole at
traction, rather let it be the beauty oftheir
soul and character, that inspires your love
! for them. For with these no autumn, no
fading, their leaves will be fresh and beau
tifal forever.

MAKE FELT.

My son, you may not be missed a great
deal by a very wide circle of people when
you die. 1t won't be necessary for you to
leave much money for a tombstone. The
few people who love you, will know which
mound covers your sleeping figure. and
They can find it just by the ferns and
grasses that wave above it, and a monu-
ment ninety feet high won't make strang-
ers care for you, or make them love you,
or make them remember you. You may
not be missed a great deal by very many
people when you die, my boy; but that
isn't what yon wan to think about. You
want to make yourself felt and noticed
while You are here. That's what you
want to do. And that is more than most
men do. Just run your eye over this par
agraph again, if you have time, and think
over it a little while you are waiting for
morning service to begin. Now and then
you will meet a man who actually ~rejoices.
in a mean envious sort of a way, to think
that in a few years his more popular, pros
porous, successful neighbor will be dead
and forgotten. 1t may be true. The big,
wide world is so busy with the living, that
she does seem to forget her children when
they fall asleep. But you will notice that
the man who r~ejoices in this is really a
man whom she has forgotten while he yet
lives; who is not felt or heard in the world
at all. Now, do you go ahead, my boy,
and don't stop to wonder if the world will
remember you and miss you one hundred
years from now. Little you'll care for
this old world in a hundred years from
now; Heaven grant it may be under your
feet then! You just go ahead and make
yourself felt now. When you are gone
the world will get along without you, my
boy; but while yon are here do you make
it understand that you are running part of
this show yourself, if 1t is nothing more
than standing at the tent door, and direct
ing the people to pass to the right, and
move along in front of the eages.-R. j.
