The Houston Post has changed it's
name, taking the cognomen of THE
Houston Advocate. It offers this
as an explanation for the changed
name: "One reason for making this
change was the confusion of the
newspaper Office with the post Office.
other reasons are unnecessary to
state. So brethren of the quill,
with this halfway telling we shall

The entering into new publica

many subscriptions to the HERALD
need renewing. This year which
began in September, we find the
number to be about as usual, SO a
brisk paying up on the part of those
whose subscriptions have thus lapsed
will be much appreciated at this
iuncture. We need the money to
meet current expenses. A number
have already anticipated the expira-
ton dates, but there is a greater
number who have not. Our thanks
are extended in advance.

AS the present wielder of the He

in the work, he is more and more
persuaded to speak his mind in
candor. That's what our discussions
of subjects are read for: is to get our

been guiding our pen in this direc-

kept concealed behind coats of varnish
to please, we can never expect nor
ought to, to impart anything that
we have in our think-shop worth pro-

We can't go. Are financial to lank,

producers will go UP and take along
some contest products and capture
for Greene County some of the a

would not hurt LaakeSville and would
do our County a wonderful amount of
good. It's a splendid incentive to
better attachments, in the arts,

The True Wife.

By far too many of our young la
dies marry without the remotest i'd
ea of the duties and obligations that
must be discharged by a wife; and
what is the result? Neglect, estran-
cement, and ruin. The true wife will
not leave her household affairs Who'll
ly to the careless over seeing servant,
nor will the true loving mother leave
her children to the care of others.
We do not think any woman has the
right to marry until she feels herself
qualified to take her place as mis- tress
of household acknowledgement reg
nant of all that can make home plea
SAINT and bright, whether in parlor
or kitchen, even as she should be
queen regnant in the heart of the
man she marries. If young ladies
were educated for the duties of life,
instead of It's frivolities, there would
be far less unhappiness in the world;
they would not be censured as the
majority now are for marrying for
selfish interests wealth, ambi-
ton, anything but love. Wives would
not seek for their dearest happiness
in scenes of fashionable gayety, but
would lind it in the Frightening and
hallowing their homes; husbands
would not frequent the club room
billiard parlor, as so many do now,
nor complain of extravagant expen-
diture; and the public press would
not condemn fashionable women as
it does today.

Nothing is much nobler than the
desires for knowledge; nothing much
shabbier than low curiosity. What
does it signify to us what others do
or have, and why cannot we leave
them and theirs alone? No one in the
world likes to be watched and pried
after, and it does not seem very diff
cult to do to our neighbors in this
matter as we would they should do
to us. This curiosity is the great sin
of small societies. For want of more
healthy outlet of the dramatic in
stinct with which we are all born,
the jewellers in confined localities
turn upon each other, like SO many
spiders in tumbler, and try to
make the real starvation of this in

A step should be taken for radical
