They were the recipients of many useful
and valuable presents from friends in Bel

where the bride formerly lived. After the
friends had departed and the family were
about to retire, they were aroused by the
sounds of bass drum, horns, cheers, etc.,
and going out they found party of friends
of the groom who had come prepared to
give an old-fashioned serenade. The in
tention was fully carried out, and the music
(?) fireworks and cheering were kept up for
some time. Mr.. Welch invited the boys in
and treated them, and this party had hardly
got away when number of young ladies,
who had been at a party in the neighbor-
hood, called. They serenaded in a more
quiet way than their predecessors, and were
also invited in and served with refreshments.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE There is d

their old ones instead of buying

When it is necessary to economic

WHAT A BRIDE OUGHT TO CARRY INTO HER NEW HOME.

Why, she is just done with obedience !;
her time of tutelage is over! OF
course, she will want to do every
thing just as Tom or Jack shall want
her TO, but to be perfectly sincere,
% obey ones husband does not NEAR
at all the same thing as Obeying
father and mother. The word means
just the same giving up of your will,
the same setting aside of your judg-
ment as your parents required, but
newitis much harder. Whenyourh us-
band, no wiser and probably very little
older than yourself, says, Il would
rather you did not do that, dear"
it comes a Il very unpleasant sur
prise.
His right to ask you to change
your course or abandon your plan
of action is Unquestionable, and in
matters involving expense he is with
out doubt the best judge of what he
can afford and though he may
long to have you indulge your own
~tanCies, many times he has no choice.
He has a claim by your own VOW to
expect you to do what he asks. 1
beg you not to step over the
threshold without obedience.
INDUSTRY AMI ECONOMY MUST GO ALSO.
You will think that the Book of
Experience requires very homely
and commonplace things to be parts
of the brides outfit. They are very
familiar and not decorative in their
exterior appearance, but they are
not commonplace. This world would
be much happier if they were, and
they make the new home all "beau.
tiful within"
With a love of pretty things and
an aptness for arrangement and
harmony, it surely seems innocent
and proper to use both gifts to make
the house as charming as possible,
yet both Economy and Industry
ought to be with the young wife
when she puts her house in order.
There is not a day that passes with
out n~umberless men of moderate in
comes and small salaries being in
distress at the expensive purchases
of their inexperienced brides.
1t will seem u very prosaic and
unromantic thing to say, but truly,
if the Book of Experience has re-
corded things correctly, many wives
have not only held the first affec-
ton Of their husbands, but have ad-
ded to the homage of love that of
sincere gratitude and respect by
using economy. To let your taste
and industry aid in the ordering and
embellishing your new home is like
becoming u financial partner in your
husbad's business it is putting his
earning to the best account.
THE BRIDE REQUIRES COURAGE.
Where everything is new and I'M
tried-even your darling husband
comes within this category-great
p~erpleXities arise, and Il young girl is
often In doubt as to her duty in mat
tiers entirely outside Of a:man's knowl-
edge or legitimate sphere of govern.

or u~nprepared, the wife is bound to

WHEN PA TAKES CARE OF ME.

When pa takes care of me,
He says to ma, "By Jlng
1t seems that everything
Comes on me when I've got the most to do.
But / s suppose I've got to get it through
With so you needn't fuss one bit about
Him; I'll take charge of him while you are out"
But ma makes him repeat all she has said
About what he's to do; guess she's afraid
To let him try his way
Of watching me, the day
When pa takes care of me.
When pa takes care of me
He puts me on a rug,
Gives me q kiss and hug,
Then brings in every pillow he can find,
And piles them up in front, at Sides, behind
Ne: $50 that you cam hurt yourself, he says;
And then he gets my picture-bOOk, and lays
Them down beside me, and my blocks and toys,
And says: Now, go ahead make all the noise
You want to; I don't care"
And I sit there and stare
When pa takes care of me.
When pa takes care of me,
No book, or toy, or game
Seems, somehow, just the same,
And by and by I'm through with every one,
And when I cry pa saws, "Have you begun
Already? What's the matter, anyway?
There's everything you own. Why don't you play?
Stop crying, nOwi You won't? Well, what is wrong?
Come, now, I'll sing" and then he starts some song
About "Bye, Baby, Byel"
And l lie flat and cry,
When pa takes care of me.
When pa takes care of me,
He grabs me up at last,
And starts to walk, real fast,
And talks to me, and pats my back, and tries
To act as if he liked it; but he signs,
And sighs, and keeps a-lOCkin' at the clock,
And out the window, up and down the block
For sight of ma and when she does come in
She grabs me quick, and says, sit is a sin -
And pa looks mad, and-I-
I'm glad the times gone by
When pa takes care Of me.

In certain countries, regarding
those entering Il dwelling for the
first time, a custom prevails which
gives a certain solemnity to the event.
Bread and SALT a lighted candle and
an open Bible are carried in by the
elders of the family, before the
young people or children pass Ove
the threshold. For the newly mar
ried, parents, and sometimes a cler-
gyman who may have known the
bride OF groom from infancy, pre-
cede them as they take possession.
The bread typifes abundance, the
salt hospitality the lighted candle
expresses the hope that darkness of
sorrow or pain shall be kept from
the new home the open Bible is a
declaration that the new owners will
walk according to Gods law.
This has always seemed to me ii
most beautiful prelude to taking pos
session of a place where the jewellers
were net only 80 be sheltered, but
where they were to live their lives
of sorrow or JOY, as God should
decide for them It is no light thing
to begin a new home. 1t seems to
mark the opening of d new epoch in
the history of each man and wO-
man, and there must be things lying
before the young girl who has hither-
to been a child in her father house,
which may we'll cause her to pause
or think, and pray for Gods bless
ing.
IF l could only see your faces l
could tell which would be likely to
need one help and which another
but as this cannot be, l shall have to
speak as to one.
THE BRIDE NEEDS PATIENCE.
With a devoted lover at your
side, who for the time seems to have
truly forgotten father and mother,
brother and sister and to ''CIeave
only unto you" it does not seem as
if patience would be required as u
necessity which cannot be left out.
At home where you had to be ODE
dent and where the brothers and
sisters were a continual demand
ON your unseIishness, it seemed in
deed Indispensable to hold fast to
the hand Of gentle Patience; but
now, r. bride, who is to ''have every
thing her own way" surely she
will not be wanted here?
Dear girls, believe me that you
cannot carry with you anything
more certainly useful and necessary
than this sober but blessed virtue.
Your little share of earth's jovs is
made up from the same imperfect
materials that you have seen in
every other home. Human frailtv,
human imperfect judgment, all are
parts Of your home building; YOU
cannot lay your foundations in peace
without Patience TO help you.
H BRIDE NEEDS OBEDIENCE.
We all say very seriously that we
will ''honOr and obey" cur husbands
but if put to the proof, I very much
doubt if one young girl in fifty ever
thinks very much ab-ut what she
means when she makes this VOW

will cost between six and eight hum

been in need of more room for con-
siderable time and it has been decid-

to underpin the building and to build
new foundation walls. The job will
require considerable time and careful

into the hands of Contractor Thomas

will be well done. Mr.. Smith also has

A Change OF Color.

Says the Marshalltown Times-Re-
publican: The "one-colorp train that
has been preserved by the Iowa Gen.
trail in its passenger service for the
past few years, gives promise of be-
ing broken on Nos. 1 and 2, on ac-
count of the adoption of a new color
by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
in repainting and over-hauling the
buffet sleepers that are on these runs.
The Milwaukee's coaches are a bright
yellow, and the sleeper "Owatonna''
came down from the north Monday
evening bright and fresh with a new
coat of yellow, trimmed with gold,
dark red and black. The sleepers all
have been of the bottle green color,
the same as adopted by the Central
a few years ago. A solid train, the
coaches of one color, has made the
combination a very pretty one. The
Milwaukee's idea of repainting the
sleepers is to have them conform to
the coaches, so that their trains can
be, alike.
