That Third Party.

The constant presence of third per
son at the freside and table is especially
disastrous in the earlier years of we'd
lock- The presence of one who is not
"of ourselves" may often restrain what
is worst in US; but alasl it always re-
strains what is best. There must al
ways be in the most perfect unions and
the best ordered lives some little fric-
ton which will once in a while find ex
preston. The gentle protest with
which, if alone with your husband, you
would disarm his righteousness dies in
your throat because of the third per
son. The loving caress with which you
would close his lips and make him
ashamed of himself is as impossible to
you as if you were paralyzed.
If misunderstood, pride will not let
you explain, and you retort indignant
", or at best keep silent with an ach
ing heart, and in time you grow to
hate that third person, who may be an
angel of light, but who is none the less
eating holes in your marriage garment
1t may not be possible without neglect
ing sacred duty to have your house
entirely to yourself, but | charge you,
as you value your mutual love and
happiness, be inflexible in your resolu
ton to keep some waking hours out OF
every twenty-four when the Preside
shall be sacred to you and your hus
band; when you can tell each other
your thoughts, your hopes and fears,
with no stranger intermeddling with
your joy. Mrs. p. t. Barnum in

The Loved Flower.

1t will be busy spring when we fail
to call your attention to the primrose,
and there is a very good reason why the
little annual suggestion in this news
paper should not be omitted. Many, oh,
so many people love the primrose. To
them probably it has its own sugges-
tons, and particularly to English born
people, whose poet made it famous, but
yet even the youth seem to love the
sturdy little flower, and they certainly
never saw it by the rivers bank when
they were boys and girls. OF course a
man loves his youth time, and he is
justified in it. If primrose makes
him think of LAYING his bare toes in the
limpid waters of the stream in the
drowsy day when he was only 10 or II,
and had world before him, why, let
him love it on forever, till he dies.
In that event, once each year, at least,
when he sees the flower, he will be boy
again, and that will do him no harm, il
he were good boy and loved the fields
you doubt this sentiment you need tc
watch people who are glad when the
primroses come into the stores. Most Of
them enkindle. Some matronly looking

An on Horse.

There are soIAe cases on record OF
women whose offishness was at least
peculiarly troublesome. The wife OF
the famous Rev DR.. B. was one of this
sort. my dear, said the doctor one
day, 81 wish light lunch for seven of
the brethren today" Home he came
from the Presbytery at noon, with his
invited guests, only to find on the din
ing table twenty-five burning candles.
1t was light lunch indeed! On an
other occasion he blandly remarked in
the old fashioned way: MY dear, will
you lay couple of plates for DIR. s,
and Dr. H., who will come home with
me at 122" True to the letter, he found
two plates laid on the dining table, but
the cupboards and pantry locked and
his wife gone.
She led the great preacher wild life,
always pulling offishly 1t had been
the fate of many great men, from
Socrates down to the present, to be
hitched to off horses To pull well to-
gether is the ideal of married life, and
it is not so easily achieved, Is it very
wrong to expect the husband TO be one
of the horses and the driver, tool Will
it be any better if the wife undertake
such double dutyl On the whole, is
not the true way to dispense witt

How a Reptile Trans Fishes.

There is species of terrapin at the
London Geological gardens which is in
the fortunate position of not having to
work for a living. Like the children
in the fairy tale, it has simply to open
its mouth and food will drop in. In
the mouth of this reptile is a little tag
of flesh which is in continual vibration
and nearly always visible, for the Great
ure remains open mouthed for hours
together 1t is believed that the sight
of this is particularly alluring to the
piscine mind The fish commits the
very pardonable though fatal error of
installing the process for wriggling
worm. In trying to take the bait it is
caught in the trap and swallowed. =

Hythe, and the sea was covered with

Where It Comes In.

The World observes that though the
New York tax rate has been reduced,
yet, as the valuation has been raised,
it is difficult to see where the benefit
of the reduced rate comes in. We are
informed that the increased valuation
has fallen almost wholly upon unim.
proved land. and that while owners OF
improved land pay about the same
taxes as when the rate was higher and
valuations less, the owners of vacant
lots pay higher taxes than ever. If our
information is correct, it is not difficult
to see where the benefit of the reduced
rate comes in. 1t tends to diminish the
advantage of holding lots out of use,
and to increase the advantage of build
ing on them; this tends to make greater
demands for labor and to increase
wages, which in turn tends to increase
trade among small dealers, who in
their turn increase it among large deal
ers, and they among manufacturers.
These, forced to employ more labor,
tend to accelerate the motion, which, il
continued indefinitely. would make de.
mands for all the idle labor of the world.
This is the tendency that increasing
taxes on vacant land will produce; but
to feel its full influence we must in
crease valuations until they represent
market value, and at the same time we
must abolish all taxes that fall upon
production, trade or labor in any
Of its stages or conditions. Stan.
dard
