DOMESTIC LIFE.

DOMESTIC LIFE.
We are afraid that our domesti,
life in this country win not bear look
ing into, We fear that our houses
will not be found unity, and to ex-
press the best thought. The house
holds, the calling. the friendship of
the citizen are not homogeneous.
His house ought 70 show us his honest
opinion Of what his Nell-beginning co
sists in when he rests among his
kindred, and forgets all affection, all
compliance, and even all exertion
of will He brings home hither
whatever commodities and ornaments
have for years allured his pursuits,
and his character must soon be in
them. But what idea predominates
In our houses? Thrift first then
convenience and pleasure, Take off
the roofs from street to street, and
we shall seldom find the temple of
any higher god than Prudence. The
progress of domestic living has been
in cleanliness, in ventilation, in
health, in decorum, in countless means
and arts of comic TT, in the concen-
tration of all the utilities of every
cline in each house. They are ar
ranged for low benefits. The houses
tJf the rich are confectioner's shops,
where we get sweetmeats and wine;
the houses Of the poor are limitations
of those to the extent of their abili-
ty. With these ends house keeping
is is not beautiful; it cheers and
raises neither the husband, the wife
nor the child; neither the host or
the guest; it Expresses women. A
house kept to the end of pru-
dence is laborious without joy; a
house kept to the end of display is
impossible to all but few women,
and their success is dearly bought.

UNHAPPY MARRIAGES.

The UNIVERSAL exception of married
people is that their married lives
will always be happy ones. Deluded
dreamers! They imagine that they
are different from other people, ond
that when they enter the portal Of
matrimony, love, peace and prosperity
will ever be their attendants. Such
ones had better by far consider them
selves the same as others, but form
iron resolutions that will keep them
from the dangerous coasts upon which
so many have been wrecked and ruin
ed Unhappy marriages depend upon
many causes. Previous to marriage,
many try to appear more intellectual,
more amiable, or more accommodate
ing than they really are. Depend
upon it, that love brought into eX-
istence by moonlight stroll strength
ened by deceit aud fashionable dis
plays, and finally consummated
through the influence of intriguing
friends, will fade in after life almost
as fast as the flowers which COM
pose the bridal wreath.

Arkansas Zinc.

The Arkansas Democrat, COM
menting upon the zinc fields of Arkan-
sas, says: Zone thing that has
had deterrent influence has been the
lack of transportation facilities, but
this is being overcome by the build
ing Of new lines through the mineral
section.
The White River road and the
extension of the Missouri and North
Arkansas cut the mineral district,
and when laterals are built to the
larger mines North Arkansas will
begin to come into its own.
The slow Development of these zinc
mines of Arkansas is unparalleled.
The zinc is there, whole mountains
of it." as some enthusiasts speak of
these fields, and that, too, of a SUI
perior quality. Yet for 20 years this
fact has been known and the work
of a spasmodic development been in
progress; but as yet nothing like a
satisfactory and dependable opera
ton of these mines has been accom-
plshed. No doubt the lack Of
transportation facilities has retard-
ed sound development; for there is
but little money in overland haul
ing. Still it would seem that with
such a vast amount of wealth in
sight as that reported from these
fields railroads ought long ago to
have penetrated them from all sides,
We cannot but think that one rea-
son why the railroads have not been
more active in reaching these zinc
mines is the tact that Arkansas leg
lslatures for the past several years
have shown a spirit of hostility to
what is termed foreign corporations.
In other words the State has not
given all the encouragement it could
to the work ofdeveloping this wealth
which has increased in the last two
years from about 500 per ton to
$41 so.
Think of the money in mountain
of this sort of material being in plain
sight, as it were, yet nobody will
ing to run a railroad there in order
to reduce the material to cash.
North Arkansas, where these
mountains with an estimated value
OF $41 80 per ton are to he found, is
not far from Memphis We have
citizens here--progessive citizens
that run to Mexico for silver and
gold mines, jump over to Colorado
for the yellow and white metals.
and the wonder is that they seem to
have overlooked the treasure almost
at their side door Mcmph'ans
might turn their attention to this
Arkansas treasure with some profit
to themselves. At least it is a neigh
