AN IDEAL WIFE.
The Value of Cultivating Ones Own So

The Value of Cultivating Ones Own so-
ciety.
There is no greater blessing can be-
fall a thinker than a union with A.
woman who is at least his peer in her
appreciations; and it must be remem-
bered that Balzac claimed that ''appre-
citation is complete equality" woman
worldly enough to protect a thinker
from the world, and unworldly enough
to live with him in the world of his
thought and imagination, is the ideal
wife for the man of high aims, and
with such q woman a man can live
serenely in the mcst desirable society.
Emerson aptly puts it thus: "When a
man meets his accurate mate society
begins and life is delicious" The
italicization is mine. In an at
mostphere of love and sympathy one
lives more wildly: there is a spur in
every meeting, an inspiration in every
absence. Life itself begins with such a
union; the old adage that che lives
twice who lives well' has more mean
ing when it is twisted to read she lives
twice who torres well, and wisely" The
man who is rich in himself, his sympa-
thles, his various magnetisms and re-
ciprocations. is the truly rich man; his
store does not tempt the vulgar to rob-
berry or excite the envy of his neigh
bors, for to them this world of the
imagination is nothing; and granting
all possible human separations and
ahlctlons such store will last a life
time. These are the riches to accumu-
late. Ones own society is the society
to cultivate; and to make it attractive
TO ones self and to others, one must
cultivate ones self. This is the secret
OF true greatness, true gentleness, true
manners and true morality.-W 3
darte, in New England Magazine.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

-Longfellow, the poet, originated q
courteous way of Launching whose
desire to remain in his company ex-
ceeded their discretion. He invited the
guest out on the piazza to see the view,
and, once out of the house, it was easier
for him to go away than to enter again.
Emperor William of Germany has
appointed Col. Rosseur, who is one Of
the few Jews in the Germany army, an
aide-de-camp on his own staff, as an in
timation of his disapproval of the
prosecutions to which that race is sub
jected in the kaisers own realm, as we'll
as elsewhere in Europe.
Miss Josephine Hill, of Springfield,
O., who has recently assumed charge of
Womankind, is promising young jour-
nalist of twenty-three whose work has
attracted much attention in the west.
Miss Hill recently started on tour
around the world and will send home
written descriptions of her travels.
Miss Laura N. Ford, Philadelphia
autsoress, proposes to become pioneer
among the Green mountains of Ver-
mont She has bought ten acres of
land in a wilderness of the highest
mountain submits, six miles from Dab
ney, VT, and intends to build number
of summer cottages for herself and her
friends.
Harriet Beecher Stowe pathetically
writes of the death of Whittier: ''To
such as he the transition from this
world to the next is but slight. 1t
would be selfish to sorrow. Ours is the
loss and his the eternal gain. / wish I
might send fitting tribute, but my
days are almost numbered, and my pen
halts in my hand.
Prof. w. J. McGee tells his fellow
members of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science that he
believes the entire duration of life on
the earth has been $4,000, 900 years.
This looks like an exaggeration of
nought or two, but the professor ad-
mits that his figures may be 100 or even
1000 times too large.
Mrs, Bottome sensibly writes in the
Ladies' Home Journals: 81 am tired of
seeing all the flowers at weddings and
funerals; we need few between. Nav
be few flowers put into the hand
when it was warm, instead of when icy
cold, might have kept the hand warm a
little longer. Anyway, it would have
made the heart that has ceased to beat
little lighter"
Joe Jefferson has charming sum-
mer home not far from Marion, Mass.
which he has named Crows Nest. Here
he surrounded by swarm of children
and grandchildren, plenty of horses
carriages, boats and guests. With his
sunny disposition and never falling
youth, he is an admirable host. Tho
home is situated among the pines on a
high bluff overlooking Plymouth bay.
