Benefit of Daily Labor.

Thank God every morning when you
get up, that you have something to do
that day which must be done whether

work, and forced to do your best, will

diligence, strength of will, content,
and a hundred virtues which the idle
never know.-Charles Kingsley.

Of potatoes comes from abroad, so that

INrLUENcE OF LADY FRIENDS.

1t is better for any man to pass
an evening, once or twice a week,
in lady's drawing room, even
though the conversation is slow,
and you know the daughters song
by heart, than in a club, hotel, or
pit of a theatre. All amusemcnts
of youth to which virtuous women
are not admitted, rely on it, ave
deleterious in their nature. All
men who avoid female society
have dull perceptions, and are
stupid, or have gross tastes and
revolt against what is pure. Your
club swagGerers, who are sucking
billiard cues all night, call female
society insipid, Poetry is unin
spiung to a yokel; beauty has no
charms for a blind man; music
does not please poor beast who
does not know one tune from an
other; but as true epicure is
hardly ever tired of water, sauce
and brown bread and butter, we
protest we can sit for a long even
ing talking to a kindly woman
about her girl Jane or her boy
Frank, and enjoy the evenings
entertainment One of the great
benefits man may derive from
womans society, is, that he is
bound to be respectful to her The
habit is of great good, depend up
on it, Our education makes us
the most eminen,Iy selfish men
in the world. We fight for our
selves, we yawn for ourselves,
we light our pipe and say we
won't so out--we prefer ourselves
and our ease; and the greatest
benefit that comes to a man from
a woman's society is, that he has to
think OF somebody to whom he is
bound to be constantly attentive
and respectful.

BASHFUL MEN

This is the Opinion Of a Kansas
City Preacher, Who Tells
the Reason Why

Kansas City, Dec. 23.-Young ladies',
if you would be happy though ma

CURES a case of suffering tongue
and cold feet when in your presence.
SO much the better. If he bushes it
is almost certain that he will make a
desirable worser half. 1t may be diff
ficult to lead to the point where he
will blurt out the fatal question, but
the game is well worth the candle.
The bashful man is the first prize
in the matrimonial lottery. He is al
most certainly innocent and unsophos.
ticated. and easily trained in the way
husbands should go.
Beware of the forward, brazen man.
he shouldn't know, and it will be al
most impossible to make him over into
domesticated, faithful animal who
will eat from your hand. So decla es.
in effect, the Rev. J. l.. Thompson, pas
tor of the Forest Avenue Christieh
cEu oh, who ll' lust been preaching a
series Of sermons on marriage. Says
the Rev. Mr.. Thompson:
THE bashful man is to be preferred
above all others for matrimony. He is
not girl-spoiled. Next to being a bald
man or ? fool. to be girl-spoiled man
is most detestable. Bashfulness Is IA
proof oi simplicity of charat -er. ii
tA'ny most Desirable in d hus'. Al.
DO not marry featherheaded man
nor a man who cannot support fam
lily. AS to the question of how much
money a man should be earning. it de-
ponds on individual circumstances. but
unless your are sure your husband can
support you comfortably, it is better
to remain in single blessedness.
Il pray for an age of utility and
common sense when we can think SER
iously about these things and act wise
ly-for an age when young women will
demand the same integrity and virtue
from men that is demanded of them"

A GOOD COMPANY.
Wills Comedy Company Pleased Large
Biloxi Audience.

The Biloxi Herald has the following
to say of the Wills Musical Comedy
Company, which comes to the Hatties-
burg Auditorium Christmas evening:
Those who saw both shows said
that Two Old Cronies, which was the
bill at Dukate's theatre last night was
better than Gay Atlantic City which
was played on Monday night. In any
event it is very certain that the Wills
Musical Comedy Company, which is
playing "A weeks engagement in Biloxi,
is rapidly making a place for itself in
the old town. Mr.. Wills has a clever
Woodworking company of people and
from the time the curtain raises on
the first act until it falls on the last
the entertainment is going on.
Last nights performance was en-
tirely different in every particular
from the night before. The scenery
was different, the costumes were diff
ferent all the songs sung were diff
ferent and none of the old tricks or
specialties of the night before were
repeated John b. Wills, Walter S.
Wills, Dick Thomas and Harry Gilbert
carry on the fun as they did the night
before. Kate Wills and Margaret
Shannon. both of whom have pleasing
voices, sang a number of songs that
were heartily encored. Particularly
Cupid Has His Eyes on You by Miss
Shannon and When Its Moonlight,
Mary Darling by Miss Wills. The
sheath gown girls were a feature and
the Indian transformation scene in
the last act was cleverE done"
