Impoliteness is derived from two
sources-indifferenc to the divine
and contempt for the human.
There is scarcely any popular tenet
more erroneous than that which holds
that when time is slow life is dull.
No human being can come into this
world without increasing or diminish
ing the sum total of human happiness
One reason why there is not moro
good being done is because so many
people want to wait until tomorrow
to begin.

Two Purses In tho Family.

The question of n separate purse is
quarrel between husband and wife,
and yet when once the point is de-
cided far happier state of existence
is assured than if they go on, the wife
having no settled amount for dress or
household expenses, and being obliged
to go to her husband whenever she
needs anything. The bridegroom in
the flush of the honeymoon may say
that all he has is hers, and that there
is sweet delight in giving to her
whenever she may ask. This sounds
all very lovely and romantic, but &C
cording to the Philadelphia Times, in
later years, perhaps, he may think she
is calling to often, and, though not in
so many words, may intimate: ''Wherc
is that quarter gave you last week?"
whereupon there will be tears and q
scene, which would all have been
avoided if she had been given a stated
allowance. If the man were literally
to follow out the line: "With all my
earthly goods thee endow," and be
obliged to ask his wife for money
whenever he wanted cigars or a new
pair of shoes, the plan would not ap-
pear so charming as it does when the
shoe is on the other foot. An allow
ance is means toward economy, rs
well as defense against many a
wordy war. Knowing just how much
she has to spend, the wife will appor-
tion the total sum so that it will meet
all demands, whereas when she Is
given SIS, $40 or $50 at irregular inter
walls she is apt to get into debt, and
then another spell of weeping and re-
elimination Is the result. A separate
purse makes wife have a sense OF
independence that should be hers by
right, and all level-headed men will
see the justice in an appeal for such
and though at the outset this arrange
ment may seem awfully prosaic and
business-like the result will more thar
compensate for the sacrifice of 70
nance.

THE WATER MILL.

Listen TO the water mill
All the livelong day
How the blinking of the wheel
Wears the hours away.
Languidly the autumn wind
Stirs the greenwood sheave5,
And memory DER my mind
AS spell is cast
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past
Take the lesson to yourself,
Loving heart and true
Golden years are fieeting by;
Youth is passing too
Strive TO make the most OF life;
Lose no happy day,
Time Will never bring you back
Chances swept away.
Leave no tender word unsaid,
Love while love sh all last
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past
Work while yet the daylight shines,
Man OF thought and will
Never does the streamlet glide
Useless by the mill
Wait not till to.morrow'S sun.
Beams upon your way.
All that you can call your own
Lies in thjs-to-dav.
Power intellect and health
May not always last
The mill can not grind
With tho water that Is past

The greatest homage we can pay to

She stopped Work for Good.

1t was nearly fifty years ago that n
woman living in an Eastern Somerset
town hung up her dishcloth one morn
ing after washing the breakfast dishes
with the emphatic declaration:
There, I'm not going to do any more
work" She was the wife Of farmer
in very modest circumstances, was
middle-aged, and the mother of n
large family of children. Before that
time she had been very industrious.
She was as good as her word, and
from that day did nothing more than
to dress herself and attend to her own
toilet. Her daughters first, and later
her sons wives, took the burden
of providing for her wants, and so she
has lived ever since. Her days spent
from morning till night in idlencss
never seem TO wear upon her with
their monotony as they would upon
most people, and she seldom seems
anything but cheerful. She is now
nearly 90, and appears to be, as she
has ever been, in the best of health.

You slate the people Of Wise county have
