folks. The young lady's father met
them at the door, and taking his daugh-
ter by the arm thrust her into Il room
and locked her up, and gathering up
the shotgun ordered his son-in.law off
the place and threatened his life if he
ever returned. The young man went
home and sat down and did some hard
thinking.
Finally he sent word to the young
daughters clothes and everythi z that
belonged to her. She did So, and the
young man held his mother-in-law as II
prisoner and hostage for the return OF
his wife. lie, too, took a shotgun and
stood guard.
" The second day after the father of
the Young lady came over to negotiate
Il surrender of prisoners. As soon as
he came in sight he waved his Whit
handkerchief in token of a truce. The
result was there was mutual eXchangc
of prisoners. The young man made
such good impression upon his mother
in-law during her captivity that all
differences were patched up, and the
Ratchet was buried. st Joseph Herald

MAKING HOME HAPPY.


The Grnadegt Task Any WounAn NA2
Can Undertake.
One of the most important requisites
for happy home is se1f-co2trol. es-
pecially a good command over temper
and tongue There are many occasions
when the peace of family might be
preserved by timely recollection of
the proverb that "si1ence is golden"
Many of the efforts necessary for the
preservation of peace and happiness in
the home circle are of a negative kind.
and consist in refraining from the
things that jar on others, such as rude
ness, Impotence, fault-hnding and
other ''lesser foxes that spoil the
vine-'' Yet this negative work is as
important as the most energetic exer-
tions of bustling activity, perhaps even
more So
1t is of great Importance that cour-
tesy be strictly observed in the family
circle. It is the lubricatin oil that
makes the Earring machinery of life go
on smoothly. Insist on your children
observing the rules of pOliteness
towards each other as strictly as to-
wards strangers Above all, let hus-
band and wife do this towards each
other, and the children will easily
and naturally imbibe the same spirit
and form the same habit Innocent
of a happy home, and none is more re-
fning than music. We should Guilt
vate as a fine art the habit of talking
cheerfully and good humoredly in the
family circle-excluding harassing and
depressing topics, except when it is abb
solutely necessary to introduce them.
A little social enjoyment is necessary
In order to complete the circle of home
happiness. 1t is not right always to
seclude ourselves in the privacy of
home. We should sometimes open the
doors. and admit others to share it's
pleasures and comforts. In doing this
we will receive as much as we give, for
it will enlarge the circle of our ideas,
our affections and our sympathies
Flower culture is great addition to
the happiness and general attractive
ness of a home. Indeed, no place
seems thoroughly homelike without
their lovely and fragrant forms Be
ing a pursuit that is carried on in the
fresh air and sunshine, flower culture
adds to our health, besides gratifying
our taste and inclinations.
But when all is summed up, it seems
to me that the great value of home life
lies in something better than even hap
piness itself. 1t gives US the finest and
best discipline life could possibly af-
ford. 1t teaches, if we will receive its
training aright-lessons of unselfish
love, patience, forbearance, forgive
ness, self abnegatiOn, and other lovely
virtues and graces, such as no other
school on earth could possibly afford.
In high state of development, home
life reminds me of well-trained
orchestra in which the members, by

tuning their instruments Ii. E., their

A lady in this village who is opposed

what to do and received the following

when you no longer have any confidence
in your husband, your father, your
brother or your son; then, and not until
then, sign the petition. '-Saugerties
