''The Right Sort of This was the
subject of a lecture delivered by Rev. Dr. A. j.
Rowland, pastor of Franklin Square Baptist
Church, Baltimore, on Sunday night last. He
said:
Marriage is said to be lottery, but this is
not necessarily the case. If young people
would take marriage out of the realm of mere
sentiment and would let judgment and atfec-
ton work together the number of unhappy
marriages would be reduced almost to zero, and
wedlock become what God meant it to be-the
source of boundless blessings. AS matter of
fact most people do marry. 1t becomes young
people, therefore, to give earnest thought to
the subject of matrimony. Young men ought
to seek, and young ladies ought to fit them
selves to be the right sort of wives. Unless
they do this they may bring upon themselves
difficulties and disasters which will eventuate
in Indebtedness and ruin.
sit is to be feared that the right sort of wife,
in the estimation of most young people, is
woman who is possessed of beauty, accomplish
ments and wealth. But these, while not to be
moderated or despsed, are by no means abso-
lutely essential. Indeed, if the choice be made
on such grounds alone, there are likely to be
frequent disappointments. Beauty may fade,
accomplishments may be forgotten, and money
may take wings, or bring with its possessor
a spoiled nature and a selfish heart. Many
women with such qualities have proved them
selves exactly the wrong sort of wives. Real
wifehood requires something deeper than beau
ty of face, or good tatse in the arts, or hand
some dot from q rich father.
1.-THE right sort of wife will have proper quail
ties of mind and heart. She will know some
thing about the duties of the housekeeper; she
will have clear and intelligent mind she will
be able to exercise tact in the management of
her affairs. The right sort of wife will be of an
amiable disposition, and will truly love her
husband. Above all, she will be Christian,
and will seek to govern her life so as to make
it pleasing to God as well as man. In word,
the right sort of wife will not be mere beau
ty to be petted, or an accomplished ldler, or
partner who brings money bat not love, but
truehearted, tactful woman who comes to her
husband ready and willing to do her whole
part, who loves him with love that the years
will not dampen, and who crowns faithfulness
to him with faithfulness to God. In such a
woman the heart of her husband doth safely
trust ;"
Cure for Hog Cholera-What Must be
Done with Hogs Dying Of 1.-THE Kent
NeDs gives the following as "a certain cure" for
hog cholera, and we know there is virtue in
it for we have seen it tried: Zone of the most
reliable and intelligent farmers of Kent county
informs us that he has found arsenic to be a
certain cure for hog cholera-and indeed the
only cure that has come under his notice. He
first tried it on very sick pig. A teaspoonful
of powdered arsenic was put i'll an apple and
the pig ate it ; this was done six mornings in
succession and the pig recovered. All the
other hogs which were afflicted were then treat
ed with arsenic and the cure was effectual in
every case. Do not give the medicine in small
quantities. but III heavy doses-a teaspoonful
to each pig or hog-applied in whatever the
animal will most readily eat"
In connection with the above we publish the
law passed at the last session of the Legislature
requiring the prompt burial of hogs dying from
contagious diseases 1t reads as follows:
An act to amend article fifty-eight, of the Code
of Public General Laws, title, Live Stock"
by the addition thereto of another section,
to follow section eighteen of said article, and
to be known as section nineteen.
SECTION l. Be it enacted by the General AS
sembly of Maryland, That article tifty-eight, of

Gle, and to be numbered section nineteen, and
read as follows:
10. That all hogs and other domestic animals
dying of any Contagious or infectious disease,
shall be buried at the depth of at least three
feet, be burned at the discretion of the owner.
and any person or persons permitting any dead
hogs or any other domestic animals, having

to remain unburied upon his or their premises
for the space of three hours, prior to sun set of
said day, after he has discovered the same, shall

ton thereof before any justice of the peace,
