ezempllied the other night when a
manufactures Of q certain well known
patent medicine accidentally fell out of
the window Of alarge apartment house
near Central park. The man was
picked up IN an ~unconsci us condition,
and the doctors worked with him some
time before he revived. AS he opened
his eyes and realized that a physician
was bending over him he said feebly !:

Yes, sir"
BE careful how strangers approach
you"

Why, sir, 1t was only yesterday

THE HOUSEWIVES M

Notwithstanding the fact that there
are SO many improvements and inven-
tions at the present day which have a
strong tendency to ease he1uggedness
Of the different walks of life, and es-
pecia!ly that of housekeeping, it is
nothing uncommon to hear of a house
wife complaining that she has no time
for this or chat plsasure or recreation.
There is no time for reading; no time
to call on her neighbors, not to men
ton the visiting of her friends; no time
to play, even with her children in fact
no time for anything but the same old
d~rudgery, day after day, without ces-
satiOn. What is there to justify the
plea that such a woman should be a
domestic drudge? Is it necessary, or
does it follow as a consequence, that
she must be dull, dowdy and old.
fashioned, simply because she is a
housekeepeT? OF course it does not.
Moreover, for her to think so, is not
only absurd, but is something worse;
she is doing herself an Injustice, a
wickeG ness, when she sacrifices her
whole life in caring only for bodily
wants, and completely ignores the
needs Of the higher nature.
To preserve communications with
the world by the perusal of good pa
pers, to acquire better thoughts and
purer purposes by reading the works
OF our best authors, to maintain social
ity with old acquaintances by visiting
as well as by letter writing, and, above
all, to retain her youth aud beauty as
much as possible, ought to be the duty,
as we'll as the desire and pleasure, of
every housewife.
How is such a thing attainable, do
you ask2 Simply by having the house
work so arranged that an hour a day,
at least, can be secured for reading, or
for a walk OF drive. Incessant labor
of nearly one nature, is not desirable.
1t not only has q tendency to age a
woman before her time, but she is
hardly ever the gamer by it as far as
UAS "OLh AG501L rs COuSO1nGOs 4uOL0'
fore, it is not a waste of time il she
stops each day for a while.
Many women, however, will assume
undue d~rudgery, make slaves of them
selves, as it were, that their children
may have pleasures and advantages
which they, for their part, never en-
j0yed. Sometimes this is all right
enough, but more often it is wrong. A
colt may be taught to be driven when
very young, although it is not made to
pull any load to speak of. 1t is much
the came with children. Moreover,
when they have one been broken to
the harness, dutuies will be much
easier assumed by them when they
come to join the throDg in life's path
way, than if they had always run
wild :" while the mother herself will
have chances more often to a up in
the traces a little, and enjoy something
of the world beautiful. FIRED O.

A pleasant surprise was given our
people yesterday when the announcement
was made of the marriage of 1t. John
Bushers and Miss Lena Luehrs. The GER
emony occurred in the afternoon at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. 81. Wehye and
Rev. Seeger tied the nuptial knot. Inn
afterwards the bridal couple
left for Oak Harbor, Ohio, to visit the
relatives of the bride. The Review takes
delight on this occasion in Offering its
CALCULATIONS, for it feels that the con-
tracing parties richly merit 1t. Mr..
Buschers has grown to manhood in this
and is known by all to be
man of sterling qualities and admirable
character. The bride came here several
years ago and easily won her way into
general esteem. They will therefore take
with them on their voyage through life
the best wishes of all.

him but by those who did not.-The
