Court Your Wife.

There Is far too little courting done in
the world.
The average young man aquits himself
fairly in this respect. He goes TO see his
best girl WITH becoming frequency, and
when with her he manages to lavish a
sufficient amount Of tender and deferental
consideration upon her to satisfy her
natural and praiseEorthy demands for
that sort Of thing. The young man must
stand acquitted, therefore.
But the married and especially the
middle-sged married man is usually very
derelict He does no eonrting at all,
though he IS under special Obligation to
do a deal oft, very persistently. He has
pledged himself, in marriage, 10 make
one sweetheart happy, and he knows
perfectly that the essential condition Of
every good voman's happiness Is that
she shall be eourted with good deal Of
regularity.
The married man does not mean to
neglect his duty. de cherishes the wife
Of his youth with tenderness far deeper
than any that ne felt for her in the salad
days Of their wOoing. But be is busy,
preoccupisd, comfortable, and be feels a
calm assurance and satisfaction in her
affection, which be expects her to feel in
her turn. He takes these things for grant,
ed il his mans way, and expects his
wife 10 take them for granted too, for
getting that this is not the woman's way.
The best thing a married man can do
Is to court his wife, to treat her with all
the altentiveness Of courtesy which he
showed her before marriage, to consider
her in small things as he does in large
ones, 70 minister in a thousand little,
scarcely noticeable ways 10 her woman
nature. So shall he make her happy,
which, if he be st all a weli-constituted
man, Is what he most wants TO do.-N. I.

as both Of them we're often in his society
in Edinburgh. 1t IS said that the only
approaches to 4 disagreement in the long
and intimate friendship existing between
these two Humes" were regarding the
relative merits of clsret and port, and in
relation to the spelling of their name,
the philosopher in early life having
zdoped the spelling indicated by :he pro-

dozen OF my old claret, at his choice /;

No Need of Beauty Sleep

1t is ali nonsense about beauty sleep
coming in the hours before midnight,
and that the rosy cheek on the country
lass is the reward for retiring at the time
when the proverbially pal'.-faced city
girls evening commences. The late
hours Of fashionable life would not neces-
szrily scatter the roses from the cheek if
the late hour for retiring could be the
same every night without variation. Il
is irregular hours and meals that causes
pale and haggari faces. TIE handsomest
coupe l ever saw retired regularly at
1870, anu always INDUCED in 8 light
lunch Just before retiring They were
both pictures Of health.
The lady did not look over p. though
she never hesitsted to say that she was
IS years old. and the husband looked at
least years younger than he really was
They were both devotees to the laws of
health. For wears they had allowed
nothing to interfere with the regularity

WnEExss. We are again called upon 10

two. OF our eonrades. which once more
reminds Us CT the Heetness Of tine and
the rapidly approaching end Of all who
fought for cur country in the late war, in
that death, the great common leveler Of
al, has ROW aid his icy hand upon the
Admiral Of the Navy. and almost simUl-
taneously upon cur beloved and reverel
Sherman-and recognizing the fact that
General W. T. sherman and Admiral
David d. Porter were the idols Of the sol
der and the saiior-whose sympathies
are now blended-loved for their untiring
devotion to their cause in time Of peace,
as much a for their leadership in war,
and although now dead they still live to
the nation they still live 10 every lover
Of freedom on the globe. Not forgetful
Of our duty, We, too, desire to pay tribute
in the presence Of a severe national be
reavement to the character and noble
labors Of two great soldiers, whose splen-
did services in the long struggle for the
preservation Of he Union on land and
water were as brilliant as they were sue
cessful, and whose achievements illustra-
ted the greatness Of the soldier who in
conquest knew no hate. and in whose
msgnsnimity there was 10 revenge.
Therefore,
Rs@lod, That BY the death Of General
Sherman and Admiral Porter the world
has lost two Of its grestest military he
rOes, both pure in heart and Of spotless
integrity, cool and undismayed il dan

nown from the soldiers and soilors Of
their commands. but the invariably il

and confidence They we're the soldiers
Of justice, right and truth, and they have

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 1.-THE spirit
of insubordination among the people In
the distressed districts is becoming SO in

result, eliminating in an open revolt OF
the peasantry early in the winter. The
relations existing between land owners
and peasants are so strained that All out

landlords to evict them, even under an
order Of law. and threaten to burn the

Throughout Lithuania and Poland the
local courts, composed Of magistrates
drawn from tradesmen and smaller farm

The leading government officials pro-
pose to send imperial commissioners to the
disturbed provinces vested with supreme
power, and to supersede, if necessary, gov
ernors and other officials found unable to
cope with abuses.
The corruption prevailing among off
