When a Woman Should Wed.

Would it he for Il woman's real happi
ness to seize the first or any opportunity
that offers itself simply from the fear
that another may not present ITSELF We
think not. Would any woman take the
first train that left the station, whether
it were the right or wrong onef Would
she not rather wait until the one that
suited her arrived? Why, then, should she
start upon the journey of married life with
a man whom she is not quite sure is the
right one for her, whatever he may be for
ONE one elseY A woman may change a
rain if she find it to be the wrong one
and retrace her way without much diff
.ulty or trouble, but there is no such re-
tracing of the way out of matrimony when
tnce it is entered upon.
The right time for woman to marry
without needing the number of years she
can numbers when she is sure that the
passing fancy or IA sense of gratiiied van
ity, but the love that can bear all things;
that is strong enough to live and flourish

dark and rainy days that must come into

Is said and done, what better advice can

nony, and who ask themselves or are

A Tuscan GirPs Dover.

A Tuscan girl is always allowed GER
tain time per week to work for her dover
and generally brings her husband bed
with two or more pairs of linen sheets and
a waddcd coverot, chest (cassone) and
from 910 to 925 in money. She has usu-
ally good stock of body linen, two win
ter working dresses, several cotton ones
for summer and at least one holiday
dress, besides her black silk wedding
gown. Every peasant girl has earrings
and necklace (vezzo) of several rows of
irregulary shaped pearls or of red coral
The richer ones have gold chain and
watch.
Before the marriage valuer (stimatore)
is called in, who makes out a list of her
possessions on stamped paper, which is
given to the head man of her future hus-
bands family. Should she be left child
less widow, he returns the dover, and she
generally leaves the house. .

The Business Woman,

There is no question as to whether
business woman Is as successful a home
maker as others, for it is clear that she is.
Is woman not better able to perform the
sacred duties of wife and mother when
possessed of knowledge of the different
cases of humanity with which "A business
life will throw her in contact? She knows
the dangers and temptations of life better
for her experience, and being forewarned
she is also forearmcd. In business women
we find the mothers of the thousands of
noble sons and virtuous daughters of
whom the world is proud. To them is due
the present self reliant and progressive
womanhood which the world may boast
of; to them can be traced that feeling of
self denial which is so necessary in a
scholar, a statesman or a soldier; to them
can be credited the economy, thrift and
independence of the American people.
Business women are more sympathetic
and have "a more extensive wisdom than
Others and since wisdom, sympathy and
love are necessary to make happy homo
surely the possessor of these qualities must
be most successful as homemaker.-Chi-

WOman's Power.

1t was Jeremy Taylor who said that
they who enter the state of marriage cast
a die of the greatest interest in the world
next to the throes of eternity. In Shake
speare's play Cleopatra speaks of an old
attachment which she had lived to despise
as having arisen in her salad days"
when she was green in judgment. In ex-
IRENE youth love is especially blind, and
for this as well as for other reasons girls
who are yet at school do not consult their
best interests when they allow love to oc-
cupy their too youthful minds.
1t has been said that the companionship
of good wives enables men to gain in
sweetness and in moral height" and does
not cause them in the least degree to lose

virtue, and strong men have been madu
stronger because they had by their side "a
woman of noble character who exercised a
terrifying influence on their character

A Chance to Save Money.

There is not the slightest reason why
you should not feel we'll and strong.
That great offer of DR.. Greene's is
proving the best friend that weak and
delicate people ever had. A letter sent
to him at his office, "a Temple Place,
Boston, Mass, telling the symptoms
you ar suffering from, will be imme-
diately answered by the doctor, de-
scribing your complaint infinitely, and
making you understand perfectly just
what ails you. Aud all this costs you
nothing. You don't have to leave your
home and you don't have to pay any
doctors fee to learn exactly what your
complaint is, and how to get we'll and
strong, from DR.. Greene, the greatest
living specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases. The doctor makes a
speciality of curing patients through his
great system of letter correspondence
and is having wonderful success.
Thousands OF weak, delicate men and
women are writing him about their
complaints, and are being permanently
cured. 1t was he who discovered that
word-renowned curative, DIR. Greene's
NerVura blood and nerve remedy.
Write the doctor at once and see what
he says about your complaint. 1t will
probably be the means of your getting
back your health.

Little Cnurtesies of Life,

1t is a pleasant thing, when one is
going about the world, to bes ow little
courlesies or do little kindnesses for
those with whom we come in contact;
but it is not every one who has the
faculty of doing these things gracefully.
An incident in street Car the other
day illustrates the aptitude of some
people in NEE ing emergencies, and he
ease with which they grasp the situa-
ton. A lady entered the car holding
her dress up to avoid stepping on the
trimming, which had broken loose, and
was dangling some distance below the
edge of the skirt. Adjusting her be-
longings as best she could, and putting
the trimming in proper shape, she be-
gan search for pin. The belt, the
edge of the dress, the collar-every
place where pin might have been
found-was examined, but to no pur-
pose. The threads that held the trim
ming were then pulled and tied as
snugly as possible, and she gave up in
despair, and settled herself to the idea
that the trimming must drag until she
could get to some place where the
neediul repairing could be done. A
pert youngster across the car grinned
and enjoyed her embarrassment. A
rather distinguishing woman trans
fixed her unfortunate sister with her
eyes, and smiled in an insulting
fashion. A middle-aged man, evil
IDENTITY dyspeptic, exchanged gances
with his friend, and, all tod, the sit
uation was not particularly comfort
able. Just then a man rose from his
seat, pa sed down the aisle of the car.
halted just long enough TO offer the
lady some pins, touched his hat, and
was gone in an instant. There was
more genuine good will in the act
than all of those disgruntled specta-
tors could feel in Ii etime. The man
was stranger, aud the lady scarcely
caught sight of his face, but she knew
without further evidence that he was
gentleman.-Ne,oY York Ledger.

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS.


The poori God bless them, the suffering poor,
In this time of storm and cold,
When fierce winds rattle their rickety door,
And enter their tenements old.
OH little we know of their want and woe,
OF their scanty table and hearth;
How they SILVER and shrink while the dreary snow
Puts a shroud on the frozen earth.
Hark voices are In the wind to night
And they tell us a dismal tale
OF the weary and worn with the hunger an blight
And the poor mans piteous wall.
Full many shrek, on their pnons bleak,
They carry about the air,
From the heart of the strong, by want made weak
And manacled by despair.
There's a stifed groan, from a dwelling lone,
Where fatheress children live;
And the mother hears her infant moan,
But, Obi she has nothing TO give.
'Twould rend your heart that Widows cry,
Who watcheth their scanty bed,
With her hollow cheek and sunken eye,
And her husband with the dead.
OH her heart will break for her children's sake,
In that house without food fire;
For not crumb of their crust will she take,
Lest her little ones starve entire
And dying they are in very sight,
OF hunger and cold and sorrow;
We must take some b cad to that house to. night
Or take out corpse to morrow.
The poor Gods poor, and Christian men,
Gods amoners are vel
Then ye receive so give again,
Gods bountlful charity,
Let 1t not be said that ye keep his bread,
And hoard his silver and gold,
While ye leave the suffering poor unfed
And perishing with the cold.

Six Days Enough,

Many are the stories told of the great
reverence in which the Scotch people
hold the Sabbath. Their methods of
showing their reverence, however, are
sometimes 80 remarkable as to draw
smile from others, who may, neverthe-
less, be reasonably strict observers of
the {" day of rest" A minister of the
kirk told an American clergyman, who
was travelling in Scotland, that on one
occasion he passed Sunday in little
country inn, and as the tiny parlor of
the house was exceedingly close and
stuffy, and the day was warm, he
started to open one of the windows.
what are ye about, mon?" inquired
the landlady with much severity, en-
tering the room just in time to prevent
the carrying out of the minister's de-
sign. He meekly explained that he
thought it would be pleasant to have
little fresh air. Eh, monl" said the
landlady with additional emphasis and
severity, eye can haze no fresh air in
this house on the Sawbeth. Six days
are enow for that, mon!"-Poughkeep-

Praise of Cold Water,

We take the following from an ex-
change: "Of all the powerful execra-
tons on rum delivered by the late John
B. Cough, the most powerful has never
been published. l came across it to-
day. II is in Coughs own handwriting,
and was delivered by him twenty six
years ago. After its delivery, young
law student in the audience, Mr.. T. s.
Shepard, now a resident of Wooster,
Ohio, asked Mr.. Cough to favor him
with his words in writing. Mr.. Cough
consented on condition that the manu-
script be never published while he was
on the lecture platform. They were
assented to, and Mr.. Cough jotted
down the following apostrophe on
water and execration on rum as he had
delivered them while holding a glass of
water in his hand: There is no poison
in that cup; no fendish spirit dwells
beneath those crystal drops to lure you
and me and all of us to ruin; no spec
tlal shadows play upon it's waveless sur
face; no widows groans or orphans
tears rise to God from those placid
fountains; misery, crime, wretchedness,
woe, want, come not with II the hallowed
precincts where cold water reigns SUI
preme. Pure now as when it left it's
native heaven, giving vigor to our
youth, strength to our manhood and
solace to our old age. Cold water is
beautiful, and bright, and pure every
where. In the moonlight fountains
and the sunny rills; in the warbling
brooks and the giant river; in the deep
tangled wildwood and the cataract's
spray; in the hand of beauty, or on the
lips of manhood-cOld water is beauti-
full everywhere. )"

More Fool Than Rogue.

The syndicate of foreign and Amer
lean bankers with which President
Cleveland made his recent contract for
the sale of bonds at 104t offered the
securities at 1921. Bids, aggregating
$35O,0O0, 900 in London and 100000,
900 in New York, were received. That
is to say, offers were made for ten
times the amount to be sold in London,
and six times the amount in New York.
The bonds, in open market, are selling
at 119 to 100. The millionaire bankers
have added many millions to their
fortunes "as easy as rolling off log"
They found the man at the head of the
government of the United States weak
and incompetent enough to make this
ruinous bargain. Possibly they played
upon his fears. 1t is charged that the
president was buncoed into making this
contract. The circumstance that his
law partner in New York was the syn
dicate's attorney has been made the
ground of suspicion that Mr.. Cleve.
land derived great pecuniary advan tage
from the transaction, but the general
belief is that he was lacking in ordinary
business judgment. Whenever his
chimeras on business or finance have
passed into law, similar result has
happened. Witness the effect of even
the partial adoption of his ideas on the
tariff-industria depression as extended
as the nation and incalculable loss, six
thousand million dollars is the estimate.
Add to this the deprivation and suffer
ing inflicted upon millions of laboring
people by either total loss of employ
ment or reduction of wages to the dead
line of the poorest means of subsistence.
IL is not necessary 10 impute cor
rupt motives to the president. 1t has
been his misfortune to have congress
i'll harmony with him, to the extent, at
least, of ueh embodiment of his views
as the German tariff law contained. 1t
was his good fortune, as Mr.. Depew
has pointed out, to be restrained during
his first administration by republican
senate. Behind that check his exploit
ing of his theories was poweress. 1t
is the country's good fortune, and the
presidents also, that there were repub-
licans and dem' Gratis enough in this
congress opposed to his wild scheme,
for reforming the currency to defeat
them. The illusion respecting Grover
Cleveland has been dispelled. No one
really believes that when he sold, for
104t, bonds that could have been placed
by the hundred million at a premium
four times as large, he was party to q
corrupt bargain. He was simply "more
fool than rogue"

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1896.
The Cat and the Camel.

The ability displayed by the present
administration in fulfilling the prom
ises and pledges made by the demo-
cratic party to prosperous country,
compared with the way the republican
party has met the responsibilities of
this nation, very forcibly reminds one
of the little French fable of the " Cat
and the Camel" The fable relates
that the cat salutes the camel as hi
brother, claiming that relationship be-
cause of his own ability to hump hi
back upon occasion. The camel's dis
trust of the practical utility of the as
sumed hump is met with great scorn OH
the part of the cat, who boasts that he
can easily carry the camel's load, which
is nothing" if only he had the chance.
AT last the cats opportunities prevail,
and, protesting, the camel shifts the
pack from his own strong back, trained
to carry heavy burdens, to the cats
assumed hump-with the inevitable rt-
suit. The cat, expiring under the
heavy weight, walls, " l am crushed"
The French narrator adds, :" He who
desires to undertake great things should
first try his strength" If, returning to
the present political situation, only the
Boosting party in power were crushed,
the disaster would be borne with equs-
nimity by all who have the prosperity
of this country at heart, and all would
say with the camel, "It serves you
right; but it is the industries of this
republic which are crushed, every de-
partment of industry, we might say,
disastrously affecting not only the
millions of wage-earners, but producers
and consumers as well. Whether or
not the party which maintained the
Union thirty. five years ago, and through
which all progress and prosperity has
come in the subsequent decades, will
be able to rescue the burdens of this
government from the democratic debris,
time alone can tell.

You Never Can Tell.

Just where II will chance to go.
It may pierce the breast of your dearest friend,
Tipped with It's poison or balm;l
To a strangers heart In lifes great mart
It may carry its pain or Its calm
You tell when you do an act
just what the result will be;
But with every deed you are sowing seed,
Though its harvest you may not see
Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In Gods productive soil;
Though you may not know, yet the tree shall grow
And shelter the brows that toll.
You tell what your thoughts will do,
In bringing you hate or love;
For thoughts are things, and their airy wings
Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe
Each thing must create its kind
And they speed DER the II ack to bring you back
Whatever went out from your mind.
