Secrets of HannY MedIock.

Respect each others individuality.
Do not try to mould the others ideas or
principles or manners to the pattern of
your own.
Seek to influence each other only by the
power of higher example.
By your worthiness and culture make
the other proud of you, and do not feel
/ that marriage gives you any right to de-
mand Or dictate, or critlcise.
Maintain and allow the same freedom
that exists between good and pure
friends.
Never ask personal questions nor seei,
explanations, for you are not a hundreth
part as responsible for each other as you
are apt to imagine.
Let your love be founded in admiration
and friendship.
Strive to correct your own faults and
study to make the other happy, and be
exceedingly careful that you never re-
verse this rule.
Keep your most refined and gentle man
ner for the home.
Never refer to a mistake that was made
/ with good intentions.
When a wrong is pardoned bury it in
oblivion.
Consider the others honor you own and
shield each other S weaknesses with sacred
jealousy.
Remember that ill-temper nearly always
comes of disappointment or over work OF
physical suffering.
Treat each other as courteously in
private as you treat your friends in the
drawing room.
Never allow intimacy to become fami-
liarity.
Be rivals IN generosity and let misun-
derstandines die for want of words
Consider marriage as the partnership of
equals.
Share the jys and sorrows of life, It's
tolls and pr,f.s, as equal partners should.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Transitions.
WILLIAM C. RICHARDS.

A narrow river yet to cross
Then great gain for little loss;
Lies fruitIOn snatched from death,
Fuilness of bliss from tleeting breath;
Sin, exchanged for sinlessness,
Peace beyond temptations stress;
Rest, which toll no more shall mar,
Ger nights noon heavens morning star.
For dim sight, unclouded vision,
Earthscapes merged in fields Elysian;
Weeping eyes in pture dry,
Breath that cannot shape sigh;
Sweetness with no bitter blent,
Wells from perfect knowledge rent;
FalsehOod's ask transformed to truth;
Wasting age to immortal youth.
Disappointment at an end,
Foe no more in guise Of friend;
Dreams that melt not into tears,
Faith beyond the assault of fears,
Need, cen TO its name unknown,
All is ChrisI's and Christ my own;
And beyond deaths narrow river
Life and love and JOY forever!

SnoquaImie Secures Her Papers at Port
Townsend,


The fireboat Snoqualfnie returned from
its trip TO Port Townsend last night at SIS
O'Clock. Every one aboard reported hav-
ing had an excellent time. She made the
trip down in four hours and ten minutes;
and back in four hours and twenty-four
minutes, against the tide Her machinery
is said TO have worked excellently A little
squall was encountered going down, just
enough to make it pleasant for those
aboard who had experience oil the water,
but IL gave some of the ladies' the blues.
and even few of the stronger sex felt
easier when she had passed through it.
She laid about three hours at Port
Townsend, during which time almost
everyone in the town came down to the
wharf TO view her. The crew gave little
exhibition to show what she could do, and
threw up six streams of water at once,
much to the amusement of the crowd
Her commission papers, which were the
principal object of the trip, were secured
without delay.
Among the number who joined in the
trip were Mayor White and wife, Chief
Kellogg, the members of the board of fire
commissioners, the board OF public works,
several members of the fire department, a
number of councilmen and several ladies'
1t will probably be some time before the
Snoqualmie will make similar trip.

REPAIRS FOR THE OLYMPIAN.
The Big Steamer VIII be Taken to Port

The steamer Olympian is to be taken
TO Portland to have her boilers repaired.
She will have some general repairs made
also, so as TO put her in the very best pos
sible shape for the summers work. 1t was
intended to have those repairs made at
Esquimalt, but owing to the shabby man
ner in which the dry dock company there
treated her, Captain Clancy would not per-
nit the work to be done there
Arrangements had all been made, but
another craft which was reported TO have
been leaking, was given the preference at
the dry dock; hence the resolution TO take
the Olympian to Portland While she is
off the North Pacific will endeayor to
cover her run, but if necessary, the T. J.
Potter may be put on to help her out.
