WISE WORDS.

A childs respect for its parent is not
secured by over-leniency any more
than by ever-severity.
Preventable misfortunes consist,
chiefly, of manifold things, little to do,
but immense things to have done.
Parents generally receive that meas
ure Of filial respect they deserve-not
always, perhaps, but very generally.
A daughter should never seek nor
be allowed to "outdress" her mother.
In every family the mother should be
the best dressed member.
The man who earns one dollar and
spends two, and the man who earns
two and spends one, stands on either
side of the hair-line between Needless
ness and discretion, between ruin and
safety.
When a mother allows her daughter
to appropriate her wraps, gloves, wells,
or other articles of personal attire, she
begins a policy of familiarity which,
sooner or later breeds contempt. A
respect for ones belongings engenders
respect for their possessor.
The discarded fnery OF daughter
should never constitute a mothers
wardrobe. No one feels especially dig
nified in the presence of one whose
old clothes she is wearing, and q
mother should at all times preserve
her dignity before her children. The
mother who never loses her queenH-
ness will never lose her crown.-

Crickets Now ON Our Heartha.

1t appears that the domestic cricket
of Europe, the "cricket of the hearth, ="
has been introduced into this country.
In Minneapolis aud elsewhere they
have proved to be a great nuisance.
House agents there claim that besides
being tiresome and noisy, they are
very destructive, so that "a house in
vaded by them could not be rented" +"
This cricket was observed in Cauada
by Kahn in 1749, aud its recent occur
renee there has been confirm ed by two
well-kuown entomologists; and it has
been observed in various Eastern
towns hy Uhler aud others, but it has
not hitherto been common in the

to us from Indian Spring that is very

A Lucky Message in q Basket of Grapes.
Cupid never sought more roman.
tic means of accomplishing his ends
than he did in the case of j. H. Wolf,
of st. Louis, and Miss Maggie Frits-
chkorn, of Euclid, Ohio. To-day the
petite bride blushingly told the story
of her remarkable courtship. Last
summer she was employed in the vine
yard owned by her brother law,
John Marshall, near Euclid, Ohio.
One day Miss Tritschkorn seized with
a sudden impulse, took pencil and
wrote these words on a plain piece Of
paper: "Will whoever gets this note
please write to me, no matter whether
it be man or woman?''
She put this in basket of grapes.
Mrs. Mary Wolf, of st. Louis, bought
the fruit, aud her brother in law, J.
H. Wolf, answered the note. Letters
and photographs were exchanged.
Finally Wolf went to Euclid. Up to
the MON ent of the arrival there Wolf
and his bride-to-be had never met.
The girl, who looked pretty in a pho
tograph, became beautiful in the flesh,
with laughing eyes and wealth Of
golden hair.
The groom is handsome man OF
thirty One week of courtship
and they were married, aud have just
returned to st. Louis to live. -Cincin-
