The Model Wife.

Editor of the COLUMBIA HERALD.
A model is something to be imita-
ted. Therefore, in giving descrip-
ton of the "mOdel wife," we shall
not give a description of her form, or
complexion, color Of hair or eyes, as
this would be something we could
not reasonably ask any one to initiate
But the characteristics of the true
wife, we wish to portray to the minds
of the thinking public. 1t does not
necessarily follow that she should be
in possession of large fortune, in or
der to become the "mOdel wife," but
whether she lives in q palace or hut,
IL she possesses those rare qualities,
which have been so beautifully pOr-
Lrayed in Gods words; she may be
truthfully called the "mOdel wife"
When man was created, and placed
in the beautiful garden OF Eden alone
the Lord God said: at is not good
that the man, should be alone. will
make him al hell meet, for him, Il"
which means fit or suitable. Then
we learn in the first place, the Divine
Architect fashioned out, as q COM
panion for Adam q help, fit or suita-
BILE for him. Woman then, to be
what God designed she should, must
certainly be help to her husband in
the burdens, cares, and respOn sibili-
ties, OF life; which consists in part, OF
rearing and supporting the family,
and IL they are blessed with children,
she should help the husband bring
them up in the nurture, and aduonl-
ton, of the Lord, as this is an i'm
portant duty, Of parents. Early i'm
pressions, are quite lasting, and are
made by the mother. Thus the
mother plays an important part in
moIding the character of her offspring.
Then it is very necessary, that she
should be a true, devoted, christian.
Many wives, in this fast age, con-
slider children a curse, instead OF
blessing; while wives in ancient
times, seemed to rejoice, when
blessed with those precious jewels.
When properly trained they are a
great pleasure to fond parents. :.
Then the wife, as we before. stated,
must be a help to her husbandi she
must love her husband far superior
to all other earthly beings, and II she
does this her love will hide many OF
his imperfections. She will then pe
the last to expose his errors. Instead
of Joining others in cOndemning him,
she will become offended, when she
hears the least word, condemning his
character. We do not consider IL
necessary to speak of every charac,
teristic belonging to the true "mOdel
wife, but would invite every one to
a careful reading of the Bible on this
important subject, as this is Bible
subject The model is beautifully
described, in the Bible. Then to cap
the climax, and to give the whole III
q nutshell, we would say she VINO 10
happily married, and is true, de-
vo:ed christian walking in all the
commandments and ordinances OF
the Lord blameless, will certainly be
the "model WIFE" MARION.

Sweethearting by Moonlight

The man in the moon 10 a very in
telIigent person, says Ruth Ashmore
In tie August Ladies' Home Journal.
He sees a great many things that he
never tells about; but, in this gay
simmer time, won't you be q little
careful that when he looks down on
you he will be able to gossip to the
stars ami the daily newspapers about
what you are doing, because it is 80 in
nOcent? Won't you just remember
that while the moon looks down OH
you sailing at night alone with some
favored admirer, he is thinking to
himself all the time "HOw foolish
that girl is to go out with just that
one man! He cannot talk to her and
manage the boat too and there Ii GER
tain to be trouble. Why in the world
did she not have a whole party come
out with heru' Now that is a very
wise thought of the gentleman who
lives up in the moon. Then, when he
sees you strOlling though the woods a
mile from home, and only one Of the
most charming fellows in the world
with you; sees you hunting for wild
flowers under his dim light, and no
tees the Immense amount OF interest
you take in each other, he apparently
shrugs his..shoulders and thinks out
lOuuf NG1lf nav q NV va wv
ishness there is in girls, anyway.
She will catch cold out in the night
air with nothing around her; she
won't find half as many flowers as she
would if my friend, the sun, WAS shin
ing bright, and she will probably trip
over a stone or fallen branch. Even
il she wanted to come out just to talk
to the young man she is very foolish,
because he would think she was n
great deal more desirable il she in
sisted on staying at home and sitting
on the veranda where all the rest Of
the people are. He could talk to her
quietly, and he would think how
much nicer 1t was for her to be there
than to be out rambling in the woods
even with him, for if she went with
him, it is just possible she might go
with any other man who ask d her."
The man i'm the moon is very, very
wise. He has looked down on mil
lions and billions of girls, and he
knows what he is talking about; and
if you take his advice and miLe the
little bit of sweethearting that goes
on under the moonlight will be
where all the rest of the people are.

She Made a Man of Him.

Editor of the COLUMBIA HERALD:
noticed some of your fair writer's
asked what it took to make model
husband? / can answer that ques-
ton; it is a-gOod wife. The model
wife that l will describe, l have
known for over forty years, and she
would make a model husband out OF
any man that was not teetOtally de-
PRAYED / will tell some of the traits
of her character, and leave one hun
dred and one untold.
In the first place she broke me from
lying, and in the second place from
drinking whiskey to an excess, In the
third place from low down hard
swearing; and in short she helped me
to quit every vice that was calculated
to cOntaminate and degenerate hui
man nature, and she did all this by
her mild, persuasion and gentle con-
duct, which took q powerful hold
upon my wayward nature, and caused
me to begin trying to do better, and
have risen to such q high pinnacle OIL
wisdom and OPulence that 1 havt
been spoken of by my neighbors, FOL
Justice of the Peace.
No person has ever heard thil
model wife, under any circumstan'
ces, use language that would not b'
suitable in the most refined parlOr IL
the land. II could command all tn,
words in the English language,
would then fail to do her justice; ant
il did not lack words 1 am sur,
some OF your readers would lack faitl
to believe it. FEATHER FUSS.

The Foul Tide of Modern Immigration .
IGen. F. A. Walker in the August Forum ]
So broad and straight now is the
channel by which immigration is be-
ing conducted to our shores, that
there is no reason why every stagnant
pool of European population, repre-
senting the interest failures of civil
ization, the worst defeats in the strug-
gle for existence, the lowest degrade
ton of human nature, should not be
completely drained off into the
United States. So long as any differ
ence of economic conditions remains
in our favor, 80 long as the least rea-
son appears for the miserable, the
broken, the corrupt, the aoject, to
think that they might be better off
here than there, if not in the work
shop, then in the workhouse, these
Huns, and Poles, and Bohemians anC
Russian Jews, and South Italians
will continue to come and to come by
millions. For one, l believe
that the United States have, by {
whole century of unrestricted hospi
tality, and especially by taking in
five and a quarter millions of foI
eigners during the past ten years
fully earned the right to say to al
the world ,s"Give us a rest.n
