HI m 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-husband’s 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.” -~Woman's edition Charlotte Observer. ! —jUsMIIUYol PuB JoyORIVYO JO ‘Spoox) O71 A JO TO OS: ‘1OYYVOM oys ysoo MOT ye Ay Ys o1v OM yous ‘uroy} INS Fey} $3 AVM Ino SurwU0o9 o1¥ 9 ¥ Iqjour me) e e jo ouly [ny pio oy} :9A0qe ou q 8¥ yons uv SUMO Tua | dno 998 pjn AIA “4 ‘Sor “oul ‘SI UOSBel 10] ee mung sjueH loIgy, Pus SIOeT] wpe Apog a puvsig { P esnBo0q ‘Sol ld mids ino soi Quq YsSeA Jo yoors yuesajo (Quowauyer,, ‘SOL 5 ISOly}IOM StF Orv $INO v ‘puvy UO Ae OM 8d ‘SqIO[D [eddy oysyeg Ays rawauns pue 3 q Jo MoU [Iv FONT OM yous spoon 3 daoo¥ 0} 9S¥iN0D Ol]} DAVY OM d ‘sopeis ouy— 1 ‘Syond Woseas St = UIppe ore Oa [[S pu THO) JO 89] .

Mrs. Frederick Baker of New York, has given the University three thou- sand dolla's to equip Commons Hall at the University and provide board at cost for students. A Nuisance Suppressed. ere ie This account of how a_ selfish man ‘met his Waterloo” is given in “The 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, “Did 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, “Young 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 “Take 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 Tits. pins A Noble Band.

The facts are truly stated, as can be easily verified. “About 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, — “The 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 “A 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, “Why 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 boy’s avenger, He would kill his son’s 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. “Ten 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 ington Star.
