A True Wife.

1t is not to sweep the house, make the
beds, darn the socks and cook the meals
chiefly that man wants wife. If this
is all he needs, servant can do it cheap
or than a wife. If this is all, when a
young man calls to see lady, send him
into the pantry to taste the bread and
cake she has made; send him to inspect
the needlework and bed-making; or put
broom in her hand, and send him to
witness its use. Such things are impor-
taut, and the wise young man will quick
ly look after them. But what the true
young man wants with wife is her
compsnioDship, sympathy and love. The
way of life has many dreary places in it,
and mau needs wife to 60 with him.
A man is sometimes overtaken by mis-
fortune; he meets with failure and de-
feat; trials and temptations beset him,
and be needs one to stand by and sympa-
thize. He has some hard battles to fight
with poverty, enemies and sin, and be
needs woman that when be puts his
arm around her, he feels he has some
thing to fight for; she will help him to
fight; she will put her lips to his ear and
whisper words of counsel, and her hands
to his heart and impart inspiration. All
through life, through storm and through
sunshine, conflict and victory, through
adverse and through favorable winds,
man needs woman's love.-We Lady

How One Farmer Got Rich.

A correspondent Of the Rural Nea0
Yorker had q talk with that rarest OF
men-the individual who got rich by
farming. He told the secret of it in the
beginning, "The way we accumulated our
little pile was simply by spending less
than ne made" That is plain enough,
an open mystery. The farmer continued,
"It is extravaganza and bad management
that is the matter with the farmers-ex-
travagance and bad management"
"He told of his own good management.
Part of it was to give all his live stock
the best food, stabling and care, 80 it
would come out fat and profitable. The
other part was to skimp on the human
live stock in the household.
"We never bought anything We could
get along without. When we thoug ht we
needed an article We always considered
we'll to see if We couldn't substitute
something we already had before buying
It. When ne did buy anything ne took
good care of it and made 1t last two or
three times as long as most people do.
We found that we could get along very
we'll without tea or coffee by using milk
instead, either hot or cold, just as best
suited us at the time. That was quite q
saving. We sold our eggs, chickens and
surplus fruits aud vegetables to one gro
ceryman, of whom we bought our grocer
les, and at the annual settlement he in
variably paid us over 500 in cash.
"When We loaned our first $500 out at
10 per cent. and it brought us $50 at the
end of the year, we thought it was like
finding money. We soon had another
$500 drawing interest. and then another,
and in few years we were receiving
more in interest than We made off the
farm. Then we eased up and worked
only to make living off the land.
When our pile reached $4,000, which
it did in what seemed to me remarka-
BILE short time after We made our first
loan, ne sold the farm for good price,
moved into town and have been taking it
easy ever since."
There is sort of Poor Richard ring
about the above that is refreshing. The
old man goes on to say that anything but
oak bottomed rocking chairs and rag
carpets on the farm is wicked extrava.
gance. But before deciding whether
this is the wisest way for farmer to live
one would like to know what became of
the human live stock on the farm, how it
liked the skimmilk and bacon diet, while
the eggs, butter and chickens were sold
off to swell the old mans pile of real es
tate mortgages. It is true that the way
to get rich is to spend less than one
makes. Economy is all well enough, but
there is a line where economy ends and
degrading skimping begins. "Whiskey
and tobacco and loafug about town have
stolen many mans farm from him." as
the old fellew says. But it would be bet.
ter even to be not quite so rich, and give
the farm children q good education, and
turn few sunbeams Of joy and beauty
into their lives.-Rno1viMe Journal.

Iced Tea.

There ia q certain good woman, the
wife of prominent lawyer ofTexas, who
had never lived out of the country in
which she was born. Her husband at.
tended the courts at the different towns
of the State, and his wife listened to his
experiences with wonder and surprise.
The Saturday Gazette gives the story:
He never grew tired of e1tolling the
virtues of "a big glass Of iced tea when a
man is warm and tired )" and when a
new railroad was laid out to his native
town his first commission was for quan.
tity of ice.
The wife was neither surprised nor dis.
pleased to have we'll filled ice chest,
and on the morning after the arrival of
the ice the lawyer requested her to have
iced tea for supper.
What was his surprise to see, instead
of the refreshing, amber beverage of his
SOULS desire, the same old steaming
Brown Betty teapot and the cups and
saucers of former days.
"Where is the iced tea, Mary?" he
asked.
"There 'tis," she answered, laying J
fore6uger on the kissing lid Off .wn
Betty; "aDd ifyou can tell any difference
betwixt it and plain water tea, you're
smarter than be"
She had boiled the YOUTHS Com
