MORE TROUBLE FOR ALLEN.
Massachusetts, Colored Official the
Victim of EOrperS


Boston, JAN S.-Troubles multiply for
Isaac B. Allen (colored). a member of
Governor Wolcott's council of 1897.
Today it was discovered that tnous-
ands of invitations signed by Mr.. Allen
have been sent to cOlored people of
Boston asking them to be present at
the Inauguration ceremonies at the state
house on Thursday. The invitations
read:
Boston, Jan. 5, 1Ss7.-Dear Sir: You
are invited to attend, with ladies, the
inaugural ceremonies at the state house
on Thursday, Jan. Z, at 1890 a. m. Elk
tend this invitation to your friends
ISAAC B. ALLEN,
reception Committee.
Meet in executive chamber at 1890
promptly
Mr. Allen is very indignant over this
move and says that he never author
lied any person to issue such invita-
lions Mr. Allen issued statement
last night in which he says:
1t seems to me impossible that some
people in Massachusetts would Stoop
to such low practices, common in Ger
tain states where mob rule takes prece-
dence over statute law hereby warn
all persons who have received such IN
vitations signed by the Isaac Z. Allen
reception committed to stay away from
the executive chamber of the state
house Thursday, as such Will not be
honored.''
Prominent Republicans claim that it
is the act of some person who would
consider it great joke to see the state
house packed with colored people at the
inaugural ceremonies. John Ii Sulh-
van Aliens defeated rival for cOun-
cillor honors, today filed a petition in
the legislature asking that votes thrown
out by the election commissioners be
counted in his favor and that Allen be
not sworn in until the matter is settled

their negligence or thoughtlessness,
miss a grand opportunity. They
can not always be dressed for COM
pany, as the saying is; and yet they
should always be dressed for COM
pany, because they always have
company-husband and children be-
ing to the true wife, the best and
most important company it is posi-
bic for her to entertain.
Another point worthy to be en-
phasized is the need for economy in
the wife. Few things contribute
more to domestic happiness than
the old-fashioned faculty Of being
able, in financial matters, to make
both ends meet. And if something
beyond this can be realized-if
something can be laid by for rainy
day, all the better; that is, all the
surer, generally speaking, will the
family be of happiness, and all the
more agreeable the relations exist
ing between the head of the family
and his better half.
Let it be noted, too, that this mat
ter of saving, of keeping within the
income, and of laying by little, is
a matter which usually depends up
on the frugality and good manage
Of
ways, of course; for some men keep
the entire disbursements i'm their
own hands, and some, again, are
such utter spendthrifts that the
most economical of wives would
find it difficult to lay by a farthing.
We are speaking, however, not of
the exceptions, but of the rule; and
we reaffirm that usually the wife
has much to do in these matters,
very much; and that, furthermore,
when her voice is raised for econ
omy, she seldom fails to realize it,
and to bless her household with the
gracious results.
Another virtue in which wives
should excel, one no less becoming
to women than to men, is industry.
That the wife should plan and labor
for her family, within proper limits.
is suggested by the very name she
bears; for wife" means weaver"
In olden times, the chief occupation
of the home circle was the manufac-
ture of clothing. The daughters did
the spinning, and the wives the
weaving. Thus arose two terms
the term 'spinster" as applied to
women who are single, and the
term ''wife," or ''weve,' from weav-
err, as applied to those who are mar
ried.
We desire to emphasize now that
old and thoroughly orthodox idea
that a wife should be cheerful in her
home. Some will tell us that they
are so, and that their efforts are not
appreciated. Well, what if they are
not? Cheerfulness, surely, is it's own
reward; and you, at least, in trying
to make others happy, make your
self happy. Others will plead that
hOmelife has so many sorrows run
ming through it that they absolute

A HELPFUL CORNER.
The Model Wife.

talk on the above subject, and as
our young girls are anxious to ac-
quit themselves nobly when they
take upon themselves the solemn
duties of wifehood, we cheerfully
CLEAN the choice bits for their bene-
fit. The writer says:
When we say the wife makes the
home, we mean she yields a para
mount influence in determining it's
social and moral characteristics.
Within these realms she is SUI
the head of the home for all purpos-
es of government, we believe our
selves to have taught neither more
nor less than the Bible teaches.
Now, however, we present the other
side of the question. While the hus-
band and father is the head of the
family, it's heart, it's animating life,
it's seasoning and sanctifying grace
all center in the mother and wife.
Man holds the reins of government,
it is true, but the more delicate
reins of feeling and sentiment are
manipulated by the gentle hand of
woman; and this is why her inf1u-
ence is superior to his in molding
and fashioning home-life.
1t is the wife who must determine
whether or not the home shall be
cleanly and bright. In the furnish
ing of the home she may have to de-
fer to another; but how the furni-
ture shall be arranged, and the ap-
pearance it shall present to the Wis
itor, with all those numerous trifles
entering into household adornment
these are questions for the wife to
decide.
1t is the woman, who has the
greater influence in determining
whether or not the family life shall
be cheerful She will have much to
do, usually, in molding the DISPOSE
ton of the husband. Some men,
grabbed and ugly by nature, have
been so changed, under the gentle
sway of a cheerful wife, that they
have become almost like new Great
ures This, however, is not always
the case. There are men, no doubt,
who would remain gloomy and mo-
rose in even celestial surroundings.
The conpanionship of a seraph
would be insufficient to make some
men happy. But even in these cases
it is not impossible for cheerful
wife to diffuse cheerfulness through
out the home circle. Many wives, in
fact, have done this in the most diff
fcult circumstances imaginable.
Chiefly, however, is the wife's in
fuence felt for good or evil within
the moral realm. Be her power what
it may in other departments, she
certainly yields the scepter in this
sphere; and society universally &C
knowledges this, for the home is
judged, as to it's decency and re-
spectability, not by what the hus-
band is-alas for many homes it
they were!-nor by what the chill
dren are, but by what the wife is.

they fall. Let the wife yield, and in
whole family. God be thanked, how
ever, that a bad husband does not
cast discredit upon a good wife! Nor
does his conduct cause her to be os-
TRACKED from the society of good
people. On the contrary, all persons
of proper ideas have the deepest
sympathy and the highest admira-
| ton for such a woman. They look
| upon her as one of the guardian
| angels of the home circle.
Impressed, now, with an adequate
| sense of how much depends upon
them, the wives who may read these
lines will be prepared, l trust, to ac-
cept without offense a few words of
wholesome advice.
All will agree that a scolding wife
is not a good wife. Such a wife, in
fact, must be a dreadful affliction
1t is said that a woman's weapon is
her tongue, and that she never al
lows it to rust With the masculine
malice inhering in this old saying
we have no sympathy whatever;
but that it expresses only the truth
| in regard to scolding wives, we can
not doubt, if hearsay and observa-
ton are to be credited. A fact, too
which makes the scolding wife all
the more reprehensible is, that she
so often, = by some unaccountable
perversity in human affairs, has a
good husband; not perfect perhaps,
and women must not expect their
husbands to be so. Some husbands
deserve scolding, and f1ogging too,
for that matter. The trouble is,
however, that, even in these cases,
scolding not only does no good, but
| it works harm or it causes the wife
| to lose that influence over her hus-
band which, if she retained and
wisely used it, might make her final
| ly the gracious instrument of his
reformation.
Then there is the complaining,
dissatisfied wife-another sort of
life-partner one would hardly deem
desirable. She is peevish, fretful,
full of complaints, given to make
cutting remarks because her situa-
ton in life is not what she wants it
to be, and to look with envy at the
people about her who are better off
than herself. She wonders why that
husband of hers can't make more
money than he does; she thinks he
could, if he tried, and when she
wants to be particularly effective
she tells him so. Perhaps she gave
him some advice once upon time,
which he failed to take, the result
being, possibly, failure in some
business plans. Now, does any one
suppose the sort of wife we are
speaking of will ever let her hus
band forget that mistake? No dan
ger! her great forte is in bringing
things up. Possibly she had a little
money when they married, and,
with much that the husband has
made, it has now gone. That is, the
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-02-10

she's not to blame, for she knows
they've not got her disposition;
they have his-yes, they have!" So
she says, at least, and perhaps it
would be we'll if they had.
Now, are we too severe upon this
class of wives? Assuming that the
husband is Industrious, and that he
is doing the best he can, is it right
for the woman to put upon his
shoulders the additional burden of
being made to feel that nothing ne
does affords the wife of his bosom
any pleasure or satisfaction? Some
women of this class are partially ex-
cusable because they are in poor
health. But this excuse does not
hold in all cases, and it never affords
a complete palliation. Some of the
most gracious wives we have known
have been confirmed invalids; and
the more the nerves have tingled or
the poor limbs have ached, the more
sweetness they have eXhaled. Some
of these, too, had anything but
gracious disposition at first, if their
own confessions are to be accepted.
But they trained themselves, by
prayer and patient effort, to self
control; and the result is, that in
stead of being burden in the home,
they are the light and comfort of all
about them.
Then, there is the slovenly wife
the woman who is untidy in dress,
and who does not take the pains she
should to keep the dwelling neat.
She was exceedingly particular
about her personal appearance dur
ing cOurtship, but when matrimony
was effected she got the idea some
how that such care was no longer
necessary. Hence, she is hardly
ever, as the phrase goes, eft to be
SEEN" She has to work, to be sure;
but what of that? Who ever suppos-
ed that women could only be pre-
sentable when they were not at
work? 1t is when they are busy
with household affairs that women
of good sense and good taste show
off to the best advantage. A tidy
housewife looks we'll even in the
garb of the kitchen.
Wives should remember, too, that
due regard, on their part for per-
sonal tidiness is something which
the generality of husbands greatly
appreciate. One reason why that
man married you was because you
looked so nice; and o, how nice you
did look when you had on your best,
and were especially gotten up for
the occasion! He used to notice,
too, how neat the parlor was when
he called to spend the evening, and
how clearly and tidy the table and
it's appointments when he was so
favored as to be invited to tea. Of
all these things he took special no.
tice, and the very natural inference
he drew from them was that you
would make, in due course of time,
a sensible and presentable house
keeper.
