A DOMESTIC INCIDENT.
From the Ob,eruer. Nu,htno. Mxch,

"Harly in November, 1884, says Franz
Long, who lives near Lennon, Mich, con
starting to get up from the dinner table, I
was taken with a pain in my back. The
pain increased and I was obliged to take to
my bed. The physician who was summoned
pronounced my case muscular rheumatism
accompanied by lumbago. He gave me
remedies and injected morphine into my
Arm to ease the pain.
"My disease gradually became worse un-
til I thought that death would be welcome
regular physician I also consulted another,
but he gave me no encouragement.

liver and bowels from disease, howev-

few dollars invested in Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters will accomplish the
task. .

the letter-a word to wives-in the last
issue of your paper, remarked to me, "I'n
bet, when God made my husband, lie
didn't do any thing else that day but sit
around and feel good" Apparently she
was no more than mai iLresent lady and
thought her husband had reached n
height OF perfection rarely attained by
the Sons OF man. Youth has its folly.
and folly its perpetrators.
Therefore, n vast number of the "last
words" referred to by Valentine arc
brought about by youths comparatively

shirt was made, which when tricd. would
make success by acting the second time.
But unlike the shirt, married life, once
entered into can hardly be adjusted.

Nomination of Rhea.

\ correspondent of the Richmond Dis
patch says:
The nomination OF Judge w. i. Rhea
as tn" Democratic candidate for Con-
grcss in the Ninth District by the unan-
ilnonS vote of the convention held at
Pulaski yesterday gives satisfaction to
al democrats here. They regard the
harmony and Immunity of the conven-
tion ns n certain indication that the par
ty in he district has been harmonizcd
and that the united and solid vote will
once more be cast for the Democratic
nominee. Speaking OF the nomination,
Hon. Connally f. Trigg, who formerly
represented the Ninth District in Con.
gress, snid:
"Our district is strongly and largely
democratic, and can always be carried
when the party is united.
Judge Rhea will easily defaat Gen.
Walker, the Republican member now in
the house from the district. He is a
strong man, and one of the most effec-
tive stump-speakers l know OF. Walk
er recanted his free silver theories and
took up gold opinions to be in accord
with the st. Louis platform. Judge
Rhea stands squarely on the Chicngo
platform, is an ull-around party man,
popular among all CLASSES, and is al
most certain OF election. He will make
u most efficient representative.

A Word to the Girls.
ar girls:- Howdydo?

III Introduce myself as Cousin Daisy
Belle, farmers daughter. have
been thinking for somo time | would
address tho young girls on the subject
OF industry, us | am very Industrious
myself; Tor at least think so
From the fact that | was raised on
the farm, and have always found plcn-
ty of work to do; might b, able to
give u little advice on this subject.
In the first place l will say, girls
learn to work. Tho poorest glrls in tho
world arc those who havo never boon
taught to work, There aao thousands
of them. A great many have been pot
ted, aud thereby madc TO dcspisc la
Dor, and depend upon others for iiv-
'ng' Girls who arc kept up in high
style, without any effort on their own
part, or devoid of any work of their
own hands, do not know how to appre-
ciatc the luxurios of life, and pleasures
which thoy daily enjoy. But do not
mean to say they ought to be kept hard
M work all tho time. They muss have
some amusement To encourage them i'm
their work. Some omploymonts are
better than othors; but there il no cm-
ployment 30 bad as the having mono ut
all. The mind will contract II rust; an
uniitncss for everything; and u girl
must fill up her time with good, or IL
will run to tho worst sort of wasto,-to
sin and vice. We can always find work
to do, il wo are only willing to do il.
Some girls spend most of their time
reading novels, and talking gossip,
while others arc busily engaged i'm
household duties. There are some who
naturally hnvc tired feeling, and must
take their evening nap, seven days out
VI tiic Wcck. Wnllc thclr mothers are
busy Mt work, they are dreaming orthc
beauties of life. We all want a good
home, but how many of us who havo
homes are trying our best To make them
good? Tho mother can't make one
lone, no matter how much she may
wish it; nor the father, nor the brolhc
nor tho sister, IL must bo Il long pull
and strong pull, all together That's
thcway good homes aro made; no shirx-
ing there for anyone. Girls, do not be
afraid or ashamed to work, its no dis
grace to anyone; we do not mcan TO
limit you ID ono kind of work, for
housekeeping il complicated affair.
But | believe the most essential part of
house keeping is to learn to cook.
There is nothing better than well cooked
palatablc victuals. Tho malesex notice
1t MS well as tho female. They appre.
ciate good cooking, and young man
who is looking ont for wife, would
do well to consider this, as well as
beauty and accomplishment. For beau
ty and style are not the surcst passports
of respectabiity. Some of the noblest
specimens of wOmanhood that the world
has ever seen, have presented the plain
est appearance. a woman's worth is
to be estimated by the real goodness of
heart, the greatness of her soul, and the
purity and sweetness of her disposition.
Now girls have given you my ideal of
model houso-keeper, although | do
not profess 10 be such myself. Aunt
Betsy don't you think if our girls would
work little more and not think quite
80 much about style we wonld get along
better
