COMPANIONSHIP IN MARRIED
LIFE.
The Right Kind of a Wife Makes The
Right Kind of a Husband.

Right Kind of a Husband,
IF you wish to be 3 good companion
90 your husband study to mako each
Good morning that you cay to him an
incentive to a better Life" is Ruth Ash
more's advice to young women, whom
she addresses upon the Profession Of
Marriage" in the April Ladies' Home
Journal. Learn to make each Good
night a benediction Of love for the
days work, the days loving ard the
days sympathy. Look for his good
qualities. He il like you il having
rauits; with very little trouble you can
find these faults, and by talking about
them and reminding him Of them you
can make your married life unendur
able. You can bring about heartburn
ings, you can cause strife, and before
you know it hatred may take the place
of love. Look for his virtues, and,
seeking always for goodness, you will
grow better every day just as certainly
as you would grow bad if you looked
only for that which was wicked. Re
member there is much that will have
to be forgiven in you, end whenever
you feel inclined to remind Tom Of a
weakness read the book in which is set
down your foibles and your follies. A
woman who, even after her marriage,
carefully studies her profession, can
make her husband what she wishes
him to be. Everything that is good is
contagious, and the right kind Of a
wife makes the right kind Of a hus
band.
Respect the rights of your husband;
he is a man, not a child, and how can
the world honor him when you, who
are his closest companion, do not7 Do
not, even in jest, deride or underate
him. People are slow about deciding
when one is TESTING or when n is in
earnest. And what you meant to be

BALLENTINEs MILLS, N. O.
Mr.. EditOr:-I have written to your
valuable paper once, and as it escaped
the waste basket, l will write again.
The Populist party is injured but
very little in our neighborhood, on &C
count of the corrupt Legislature that
has recently adjourned. I hope there
wilInever be such a set of men to meet
at Raleigh to make laws and transact
business for the citizens of North Caro-
lima again, but l think it was all caused
by the Populist boilers.
Woe to the Populist boilers,
Who are in the Republican camp,
Woe to you all, my friends,
Who fight for the gold bug stamp"
1 will ask and answer some questions
now.
Who discovered the art of printing!
Who discovered the art of tele-
graphy7
Who discovered the Pacific ocean3
How many verses are there in the
Bible?
Who assassinated President Lincoln3
I will answer + .rnest L. Edwards
question. Who invented the first cot
con gins 1t was Eli Whitney.
1 will also answer Miss Nellie E.
Whitehead's question. Who was the
first man to cell around the world9 1t
was Magellan.
1 will answer George G. Ayscue's
question. What two Presidents died
on the fourth day of July3 They were,
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.

revival. Aud they hardly know that

Now, is that true brotherhoodG I
might ash, is that religion9
They r not willing to further the
cause of Christ except in their own
church.
Now, they say there is work sum
Gent in their own church to keep them
always diligent at home. Duty is not
so severe as to command us to fasten
ourselves down at home always and
never allow our good works to spread
beyond the home limit,
This struggle for self is one that
never abates, night or day, sleeping or
waking. Progress is held back by it.
Poor opinions wish no better les to
their place, and try to the very last to
hold their own in the minds of the peo-
pie for sake of self honor, and care not
if they hinder progress.
A selfish person scarcely benefits
himself or the world. Then what won

one, in looking at life as it is, discov-
ers only here and there, gIimpses Of un-
selfshness7
Men consider it a duty to get, what
they call, their share Of this worlds
goods. They take upon their shoulders
great loads of care through a sense of
duty. Bent forms and wrinkled faces
are the result of life long struggles and
hardships we endure while we are
pushing on toward the mark we think
duty has set for US.
1t is oil q mistake. Duty does not
say, "HoId yourself in severe re
straint; abandon the appearance of
pleasure" And to be a saint, you
must have a long face and closed eyes;
sit in your closet and sigh. If you let
the light in and mingle with Gods
other creatures you may lose the path.
These are not the rules duty makes for
us. But duty says, BE free, be sensi-
bic, above all, be unselash."
Ga! the poverty, the miseries, the
crimes! They all have but one basis
sin-selfshness.
The more self we discard, the more
religion we will have. Oh, to be saved
from ourselves! To be able to look to
the within and keep it clean and whole.
some and not pay so much heed to the
outward.
The spirit is cramped and iron bound
by selfish greed. All kindness and love
for others are strangled to death by it.
The spirit within us would have US do
good. 1t would have us love every
thing that lives. 1t is a part of Gods
spirit. He gave it to us, but we try to
ignore it. We live in discord with it
day after day. We will not believe in
it, nor take heed to it's warnings and
instructions. The spirit is everything
to US. II we could only understand
that there is no limit to its power.
After days and months, years Of en-
deavoring to strangle it and put it
away in the back ground, we finally
succeed, and that blessed gift of God,
that He intended to be our guiding
star, our help, our instructor, our
everything in this life, that would lead
US to Him, is shackled hand and foot,
put away and ignored and We go strug-
CLING on in despair toward a goal OF
self. May God help us to throw self
away, loose the spirit and let it rule!

Poultney, Aug. 27.-The block on
Main street occupied by the Poultney
Journal printing establishment and
E. w. Jones' clothing store was
Quilted by fire early this morning.
Shortly after o'clock flames were
discovered in the back part of the
building. The alarm was given and
the fire company was quickly on hand.
The flames had a good start. Three
streams of water were quickly thrown
on the building and it soon seemed as
if the firemen had the blaze under
control, but flames were discovered
coming out of the roof at the front
and soon the whole upper part of the
building was mass of flames. 1t
was difficult to get ut and it was 3 30
o'clock before the fire was under con-
troll.
The office of the Journal was
cleaned out and the clothing store
suffered nearly as much. The ma
chinery and presses In the basement
were not damaged except by little
water. The loss on the whole block
will probably amount to $4,000, the
most of which is covered by insur-
ance.
The building was wooden struct-
ure, two stories high, with base
ment. 1t was owned by the Thomas
Edwards estate and stood on the land
of the Delaware and Hudson Canal
company. 1t has for many years
been occupied by the local paper.
The quiet of England street; ST.
Adams, was disturbed about 10 80
O'Clock Friday night by an alarm of
burglars from w. Il. Merritt's resi-
denee. There had been suspicious
noise in the cellar and help was sum-
moned to secure the intruders. Three
men responded TO the call. After
Mr.. Merritt had lighted a lantern
the posse began explorations in the
cellar. One man was armed with a
shovel and another with revolver
borrowed from the proprietor of the
Park View house, and the third with
a heavy cane. With great caution
every corner of the cellar was inspect.
ed. but there was no burglar to be
seen. Windows were carefully fast
, ed and there were no signs of a break
A council of war was held aud sec.
ond investigation determined upon
after fresh assurances that noises haC
been heard from the cellar. 1t was
successful. Over behind pile Of
screens was found the burglar, Of
more correctly the cause of the noises
1t was large cat which had wedget
its head so tightly into tin can tina
it could not escape.
