Only let a woman be sure she is pre-
cious to her husband"not useful, not
valuable, not convemently simple, but
lovely and beloved ; let her be the re-
cipient of his polite and hearty atten-
tions, let her feel that her cares and
love are noticed, appreciated, and re-
\turned ; let her opinion be asked, her
approval sought, and her judgment re-
spected in matters of which she is cog-
nizaut ; in short, let her only be loved
honored and cherished, in fulfillment
of the marriage vow, and she will be
to her husband, to her children and to
society, a well-spring of happiness.
She will bear pain, and toil and anxi-
ety for -her-husbandTs love to her is a
tower and fortress. Shielded and shel-
{tered therein, and adversity will have
lost its sting. She may suffer, but sym-
pathy will dull the edge of sorrow. A
house with love in it"and, by love, I
mean love expressed in words, and
deeds, for I have not one spark of faith
in'love that never crops out"it is to a
house as a person toa machine, one is
life, the other mechanism"the unloved, '
woman may ~have bread just as light, a
| house just as tidy as the other, but the
|former has a spring of beauty about
her, a joyousness, a penetrating and
pervading brightness to which the lat-
ter is an entire stianger. The deep
happiness of her heart shines out in her
face. She gleams ever. It gis airy,
4 graceful; warm and welcoming with
her presence; she is tull of device and
plots, and sweet surprises for her hus"
| band and family. | She has never done
with the romance and poetry of lite.
She herself is a lyric poem, setting her-
| self to all pure and gracious melodies.
Humble household ways and duties
have for her a golden siguificance. ~The
prize makes her calling hish, and the
end sanctifies the means.
«Love is heaven, and heaven is love.�

This account of how a_ selfish man
~met his Waterloo� is given in oThe
Gulden Rule� :
At acertain concert,a young man
persisted in whispering loudly to the
lady who accompanied him, telling her
what thé music ~~meant,� what sort of
a passage was coming next, and so on.
Presently he closed his eyes, and said
to his companion, oDid you ever try
listening to music with your eyes shut ?
You've no idea how much better it
sounds.�
Hereupon a gentleman who sat in
the seat in front of the young man,
twisted himself about, and said gravely,
oYoung man, did you ever try hsten-
ing to music with your mouth shut ��
Thenceforth the silence in that part of
the hall is said to have been almost
painfnl.
Save Your Money.
There is an old adage which says
oTake care of the pennies and the dol-
lars will take care of themselves,� and
the truth of this has time and time
again, without number, been demon-
strated.�
The latest verification comes from
New Yorkcity, wherea recent report
shows that there are 4,875,519 depos-
itors in the savings banks of the United
States and that they have laid by the
great sum otf $2,000,000,000.
The bulk of this enormous amount of
money is the result of the savings of
small sums"pennies and nickles, dimes
and so on, and there is nothing in the
report to show that any of the deposits
at any one time amounted to any large
amount.
The Way the Doctor Removed the
Obstruction.
The one-year-old child ot Wm, Fry,
at Forest Hill, got a piece of cast iron
about an inch long and a half an inch
in diameter in its throat last Tuesday.
pushed it further down the child's
throat. Dr. Montgomery, who tor
tunately happened to be near, was. im"
mediately summoned. He took the
child by the heels and shook it until the
piece of iron cameout. The child
would have choked to death in a few
minutes without attention."Concord

~There is in Paris a largé, carefully-
organized society. of scientists"with
several women members"which has
3 Ghastly and horrible putpose. ' Each
member has solemnly pledged himself
that: when he dies his body, instead of
having ceremonious burial, shall be de-
livered fo his surviving associates, v ho
shall dissect it, and that his brain like-
wise shall be studied and probed for
its seerets, and finally immersed in al-
cohol, ft. shall be-ranged in a glaes be-
side the skull which held it, along with
other ~brains and skulls of see that
have gone before.
The hame,of this shoes erennisn:
tion. ig. the Mutual Autopsy society (La
Societe dT ~Autopsie Mutuelie). It is
somposed ~of about 100 living members;
and the dead, whose skulls and brains
jee mently catalogued in a glass case
at one end of tha ~meeting-room, num-
ker 14. Within a few days the 15th
~ghastly relic will have its place there.
This 15th was in life the property of
M. Abel Hovelaeque, director of the
Anthropological society, who died. a
short time ago, It now rests, immersed
i wledhol, on theT table of the cissect-
ing room, where soon, will. gather the

~ that it would be infinitely better for
families, when an adult member died,
if: Hevshould be mae the subject of
careful: seientitic study, : In; this way

mun ee are some men of such unre-
lenting purpose that when they once
register a vow to do a certain thing
no human agency can cause them to
alter their resolution,� said George Rice,
of Arkansas. ~
oHere is a little story taken from
life, every incident of which came under
my own observation. The facts are
truly stated, as can be easily verified.
oAbout ten years ago, in a little south-
ern town, two friends of mine, a young
man and a man of middle age, had a
difficulty, and the former fell dea,
pierced through the heart with a : paltet
from a revolver, "
oThe blame all rested with the de-
ceased. He came of a highly-respecta-
ble family, but had fallen into con-
vivial habits, and when drinking was
very ugly. Time and again he had made
threats against the man who killed him.
Friends of the laiter told him of the
threats, and begged him to avoid & meet-
ing, which he did whenever possible.
At last it came to a question of killing
or getting killed, and he obeyed nature's
first law. vs
oA jury would have cleared him be-
yond all doubt if the case had ever come
to trial, but it never did. Instead, he
forfeited his bond of 38,000, and the
cash was paid over by my hands, The
man who did the killing left for parts
unknown and has never returned,
oWhy did he not stand trial? Simply
because the father of the deceased so!-
emnly declared in the presence of all his
townsmen that if John "" was acquis-
ted of slaying his son he would become
the boyTs avenger, He would kill his
sonTs slayer.
The old man was never known to
~break his word. His courage was of
that desperate kind that feared noth-
ing. Nobody doubted that he. would
do just, what he said, so I advised John
""" to clear out, and, as there had been
enough killing; he, went.
oTen years have gone by, and the old
father has never relented. He stands
ready to-day to make good his oath.
Argument and persuasion are. useless,
and a good man is forced into banish-
ment as long as the other lives. Went

Pickled Te,
Pickled tea is used in Burmah as a
sort of sauerkraut. The young leaves
are boiled, poured into pits about six
feet deep, tined with plantain leaves,
and covered with earth, and are kept
there for months. They are then used
either. to make tea or are eaten after
being soaked in of] with garlic or dried
