Duty of a Farmers Wife to Her.
self" Mrs. Stiles paper had so
many good thoughts in it, we give it
in full. The duty Of a farmers wife
to herself is the same duty she owes
to her family and friends, and they
in return owe to her. True consid-
GRAFTON, wise control over situations
can serve in this matter, as in 9TH
ers, to get at what is best for all,
whether the doing is conventional,
fashionable or otherwise. The first
point to settle once and for ever in
her own mind is the habit of cheer
fulness and then set herself to fol-
low with vigor and perseverance the
rules that will confirm her in the
habit. Let her learn for herself
the great truth that the will is q
tremendous force in establishing a
habit OF thought, and by trying each
day to be bright she will each day
grow nearer the accomplishment of
the desired end. Let her waken
each morning with a firm determin-
alton to expect pleasant things for
that day, reject all melancholy in
clinations, all morbid thoughts of
her own burdens, and set herself to
face the duty or duties that will
come upon her life pleasantly.
Think not of yesterdays trials, be,
cause yesterday is dead and tomor
row is not born. Cultivate taking
each thing as it comes, with a firm
faith in its having a bright, or at
least bearable side, thinking that
the fortunate things are always pass
able and that unless some actually
diseased condition exists, a natural
buoyancy of spirits will assert itself
unconsciously. Believe pleasant
things are before you and they win
come. There is some mysterious at
traction by which happy thoughts
bring HAPPY occurencies. Even
should misfortune be the order fol
the days experience, one is better
for what may come who is
accustomed to take trials with
calm faith in the ultimate good OF
all things.
Whatever cements friendly rela-
tions, increases the efficiency of
both, which is only another way OF
saying that it is love which makes
the world go round.
Florence Greenwald recited piece
in dialect, which pleased everyone.
DO Good Magazines and Books
Give a More Practical knowledge
Than Papers?" Mrs. Stewart thinks
and books very beneficial
but thinks we should read papers
too, as they give more general in
formation.
