A STORY FOR IIUSBANDJ.
Mark Dalrymple had been a widower two
years. His idea of the marriage relation may
be briefly summed up in the following text,
which he was wont to quote frequently with
strong approbation : “Wives, obey your huS-
bands.” Of any duties which may devolve
upon the husband in turn, he was quite un-
conscious, save and except the obvious one of
furnishing the wife with a needful supply of
food and clothing.
His first wife, a mild, inoffensive creature,
he found no difficulty in reducing to a state of
object submission. The reins of authority he
held with no slack hand, but she, either be-
cause she had not the courage to remonstrate,
or because she believed it her duty, walked
through life submissive and uncomplaining,
yielding herself without a struggle to the
most arbitrary requirements of her husband.
Because he thought that wives generally oc-
cupied ~ themselves to much with the gay
world and too little with domestic employ-
ments, she ivas induced, 1 should say re-
quired, to dismiss her only servant, and take
upon herself unaided the multitudinarious du-
ties of servant-of-all-work, besides attending
to the wants of her children. Her husband was
an epicure,and Mrs. Dalrymple was generally
obliged to toil through the whole of the morn-
ing in the hot kitchen. that her husband
might not be disappointed in his diinner.
But somehow this mode of life did not ap-
pear to agree with Mrs. Dalrymple. Day by
day she pined away and grew weaker, till
one day she left the world—the only thing
since her marriage which she had ventured to
do without her husband's permission.
Mr. Dalrymple wore crape on his hat. Un-
doubtedly he was sorry for his wife’s death.
Where else could he find a wife so nearly ap-
proaching his ideal of what a wife should be P
His appetite for command had grown with
exercise. He was at heart as much an auto-
crat as he of 'all the Russias. and was quite
at a loss for an opportunity to exercise it.
Evidently there was but one course to be pur-
sued." He must be married again.
Mr. Dalrymple was inclined to be cautious
in his selection. He had heard, though he
could scarcely believe it, of “hen-peeked bus-
band ;” of women who were ambitions of
wearing the—I mean of usurping the bus-
band's authority; and although he had no
doubt of being able totamc the most trouble-
some woman, yet he considered that it would,
be best to marry one who was already dis-
posed to walk steadfastly in the path which
he should point out, and adopt as her unde-
viating rule of life that excellent talk, “Wives,
obey your husbands.”
Mr. Dalrymple cast his eyes over the whole
circle of his acquaintances, and it was not
long before they rested complacently upon
the Widow Greene. This lady had a little
property left her by her first husband, and,
what was of even more consequence in the
eyes of Mr. Dalrymple, she exhibited while.
in his company a demureness and gentle def-
erence, which be construed most favora as
indications of her disposition and probable
line of conduct towards him, should he con-
descend to make her “his second.”
Mr. Dalrymple was not a perfect master of
the secrets of the female heart. In especial
was he ignorant of the nature of the widowed
heart. Probably he had not read Samuel
Weller’s pathetic injunction to his son of the
same name: “Samivel, Samivol, beware of
the widders!" Had he done so h? might
have been a little suspicious of the amiable
placidity exhibited by the Widow Greene,
and remembered that husbands, like fishes,
require to be baited or they will not bite. '
But Mark Dalrymple thought of none of
these things. To be sure, he had used a cer-
tain degree of caution. While sitting in the
cosy sitting-room with the widow, while the
tea-urn on the well-spread table diffused a
pleasant odor through the apartment, he had
ventured to introduce the subject of domestic
government. It is needless to sav that the
widow’s ideas-coincided most charmingly
with his own.‘.' In the enthusiasm cf pleasure.
excited by this agreeable discovery, Mark
Dalrymple proposed to the widow, and, it is
equally needless to say, was accepted. Mr.
Dalrymple was eager to commence 'as early
as possible his plans of'domestic government,
while Mrs. Greene, on her part, had no es-
pccial reasons for prolonging her widowh rod.
The weddingday with its usual accompan- I
imonts passed off, and the blushing bride re-
ceived gracefully the congratulations of the
numerous friends who honored the occasion
by their attendance.
Mr. Dalrymple, who always took time by
the forelock, resolved to acquaint his new
wife as early as possible with his expectations
as to her course.
“Mrs. Dalrymple,” said he, at the break
fast table the morning succeeding the mar-
riage day, “as you are placed in a new posi-
tion, and are probably not aware of what
your duties will be in future. I have drawn
up a paper to serve, if I may so express my'
self, as your domestic chart, which will ena-
ble you to perform with uniformity and ease
the duties which your new position requires
of you."
' His wife opened her eyes very wide in as-
tonishment at being thus addressed.
“I will premise," remarked Mr. Dalrym-
ple, waving his band, for he began to feel in
the mood for haranguing,‘“that I have fol-
lowed, in drawing up this list, the order in
which the late lamented Mrs. Dalrymple used
to discharge the domestic functions which
devolved upon her.”
“Indeed I" ejaculated Mrs. Dalrymple, who
‘was listening in silent expectation.
“Do not. interrupt me, my dear. but lend
me your closest attention while I read. If
there is anything you do not understand,I
shall be willing to give you any information
you may require." .
So saying be commenced reading from a
paper which he held in his hand :—
"It will be your duty during the Summer
months to rise at five, and at six during the
rest of the year. You will immediately make
the fire and prepare breakfast so that it may
be on the table one hour from the time you
rise. If one hour is insufiicient for this pur-
pose, you will rise earlier."
“But what will Bridget do in the case .9”
inquired the bride, with some curiosity.
“Bridget has already received her dismis-
3:1. I do not intend to keep a servant any
longer. She will stay, however, till this
evening, that you may become a little accus-
tomed to the place” The former Mrs. Dal-
rymple did her own work, and I shall expect
you to do the same. I will proceed. After
breakfast you will clear away the table and
wash the breakfast dishes. You will then
prepare the children for school. If you have
time after that, you will, take care of the
chambers. and then descending to the kitchen
make all needful preparations for dinner.
After dinner of course the table will have to
be cleared, and dishes. washed. This done,
you will employ yourself in sewing until it is
time to get ten. Then clearng away again,
which will probably occupy you till seven or
eight. After this there will probably be some
domestic occupation which will occupy you
till the hour of retiring. I may add that I
shall expect were he neatly dressed in the
afternoon and evening that you may be ready
to entertain any visitors‘who may honor us
with a call. This,” remarked Mr. Dalrym—
ple, pausing from his reading, “is all that I
have prepared. If there should be more than
I have made arrangements for occupying,
you will find some way of filling it up. ‘A
diligent hand maketh rich,’ says the Psalm-
ist. ' By following this order, of which I
shall leave a copy with you, you will credit-
e
ing with the subject, “you will make your-
self a crown unto your husband, and obey the
Apostolic injunction, which, there is no
doubt, was dictated by the soundest wisdom
and the most enlightened views of domestic
relations and social order, that, I menu, which
commands wives to obey their husbands."
“And what,” inquired Mrs. Dalrymple,
very composedly, “may I beg to know what
will be the consequence it I fail to comply
with this list of regulations '3"
“Will you be hind enough to repeat your
question '8" inquired the husband, who could
scarce] y credlt the testimonyof his senses, "I
am not quite sure that I understood you.”
”Then I will endeavor to be more explicit.
What will he the consequence if I refuse to
surrender all my time as you would-have the,
to the kitchen and its employmcnts ?”
“That.” said Mr. Dalrymple, endeavoring
to take at once the audacity of this inquiry,
“that is a contingency so improbable that I
have not made the slightest provision for it,
even in idea.”
“I‘hcu,” continued his wife, “I will trouble
you to make such provision at your earliest
conven iencc. I did not marry you with the
intention of becoming a household drudge,
and, begging your pardon, I never will be.
Had I suspected that was your intention in
proposing marriage I would have seen myself
in the Red Sea before accepting you. I
would indeed, and you too. As for following
out that list of regulations I shan’t do it, and
the sooner you burn it up, the better for all
concerned. I should as soon think of dictat-
ing your motions through the day.”
“Mrs. Dalrymple,” said her husband, rising
from the table, and speaking with all the
steruness and dignity of which he was mas-
ter, “are you in your right senses ?”
“Really,” was the composed reply, “I have
been in some doubt of it since you com-
menced that paper. I am inclined to think
I must have been a little out of my head
when I accepted you. Is that satisfactory '1’"
“I beg, Mrs. D., you will cease trifling up-
on a serious subject. It is important—pre-
cmincntly important, I may say—that we
should understand each other. ,To this end
let me ask you a few questions.”
:‘Proceed, sir— I am listening,” and Mrs.
Dalrymple began to fan herself.
“I beg you will not interrupt me. My
first question is this: Did you or did you
not promise yesterday at the altar, to obey
your husband ?"
“Yes , I believe so."
“When you made that promise did you in-
tend to keep it.”' ‘
“So far as I understand it. yes. If it im.
plies that I make myself a slave, I certainly
intended nothing of the kind.” ' _
“Have you ever reflected particularly upon
the Apostolic injunction commanding wives to
obey their husbands, which I repeated to you
a little while since ?" -
“Never, particularly. I believe, however,
there is another which commands husbands
to cherish their wives.”
“Well 1’”
“I wonder whether requiring a wife to
work from morning till night is generally. un-
derstoodto be one way of cherishing-her!"
“The Bible tells us that in the patriarchal
times wives were wont to attend on theirhus-
bands, and ‘confiiu themselves in every le-
spect to their will. Should they prove rc‘
fractory, their husbands were permitted to
chastise them. What do you think of that F’r
“That if the patriarchs’liadlehsnced tolive
in these days, and should venture to exercise
such a privilege, they would probably be
brought before the Police Court and bound
to keep the peace.”
“Mrs. D., I am shocked at your levity.
You are absolnll y incorrigible."
"Possibly on this point."
“Under such circumstances I shall decline
having anything further to say on this sub-
ject until you apologize for your conduct.”
“Then, Mr. D. . I hope you are gifted with
the virtue of patience, for you will certainly
be called upon to exercise it.”
“You will have tillthis evening to consider
your future course. Bridget will leave this
evening, and to—morrow you will be expected
to take her duties upon yourself. Meanwhile,
let me recommend you, as likely to produce
a beneficial effect, to read the passage in the
Old Testament which speaks of a brawling
woman upon the house-top."
“Thank you, sir, for the recommendation,
but having the last number of Bleak House
still to read, I don’t see how I can comply
with your desire." .
And so the well-matched pair parted—Mr.
Dalrymple to his business—his wife to read
Bleak House.
The meeting of the married pahgat dinner
and supper was marked by an air of dignified
reserve on the part of the gentleman, and of
cool composure on that of the lady. But few
words were interchanged, and those only
which the occasioa called for. At the close
of the latter mcal'Mr. Dalrymple summoned
Bridget, and casting a furtivc glance at his
wife, to see what effect' the communication
had upon her, addressed the maid—of-all-work
as follows: “We shall not need your servi-
ces any longer, Bridget, as Mrs. Dalrymple
intends in future to do her own work. Here
is the money due you, and, as you have served
me very faithfully, I will, if you desire it,
give you a certificate to that effect.” '
“I am sure, sir, I am much obliged to you
for your kindness," said Bridget, courtsey-
ing; “and if Mrs. Dalrymple should get tired
of doing her own work, I hope you will
think of me.” _
“Probably.” said her master, with another
glance. “Our family is small, and the work
is ligh'..”, ‘
"Hadn’t I better stay and get breakfast
sir, as mistress doesn't know where the things.
are and may he might have to hunt around
considerable before finding them l” _
“Perhaps youbad better," was the reply;
“and my wife will get up at the time you do
and accompany you in your duties that she
may the better perform them herself.”
Mrs. Dalrymple was busily reading, or pre-
tending to read Bleak House. She said noth-
ing in opposition to lhc arrangements her
husband was making in her behalf, which,
upon the principle that “silence gives con-
sent, ’ her husband construed into a favorable
omen.
When Bridget had left the room, Mr. Dal-
rymple, taking from the table a small pack-
age, opened it deliberately. and taking there-
from a volume entitled "Miss Beccher’g
Domestic Economy,” presented it to his wife
with the remark:
“As you are so soon to enter upon the du—
ties which devolve naturally upon the min—
t'css of a household, I have purchased this
a
.book as one which will be likely to aid your
materially in this new vocation."
“Really," said Mrs. Dalrymple, taking it
carelessly from his hands, 'fIt- cannot find
words to express my gratitude for the mag-
nificent and unexpected gift. It. is a very
neat binding, and I don’t doubt will form a
valuable addition to my library. It will jus
fill a vacant place between my editions of
Spencer and Kirkc White. It is vastly inter—
esting, too, I don’t doubt," and she opened
it carelessly ;‘ “let me see, here is something
on Apple Dumplings and Battery Pudding.
It will, I have no doubt, afford me a great
deal of intellectual gratification in the peru-
sal. [low can I ever thank you sufficiently
I will place it carefully aside that it may no"
he llljllf‘L'l .”
She wise and carrying it to the book case,
placed it carefullybetwecn two splendid edi-
tions of the poets she had named. “I do not
require any thanks, madam-Tsaid her hus—
band considerably nettled at thefjcool irony
you, sir; your generosity is only equalled by
your disinteresteducss." '
Mr. Dalrymple began to hum a tune, and as
there promised to belittle entertainment for
him at home, took his flat. and went down
town. So the evening were away. The first
rays of the morning sun entering the chamber
of Mr. Dalrymple found him wakeful and
alert. He turned round and saw his wife
sleeping quietly. “Now," thought he, “is
the critical moment." He called to her, and
succeeded iq awakening her. “Wife,” said
be, “it is time for you to get up. I hear
Bridget stirring round down stairs. You had
better get up and watch her in her-'oc’alpa-
tion that you may be able to do it yourself to-
morrow.”' His wife was now thoroughly
awake. “I beg your pardon, sir; did you
speak '1’" He repeated what he had said be-
fore. “I regret to have put you to the tron.
ble of waking me, as I have no intention of
rising just yet. I make it a principle never
to rise before half-past six. I presume Brid-
get will sct along better without me than
with me.” “That may be. But how do you
expect to get along to-morrow unless you
commence-under Briget’s guidance lo-day l”
,“Probably not stall. I believe I have‘already
told you my determination. I have no idea of
making a slave of myself. I have no objec-
tion to superintcnd your establishment. If
you married me merely to take tho place of
your servant,I fear you will be disappointed.”
“Is this, your irrevocable determination '1’”
“It is." “Very well, madam! "I shall an-
nounce to you my determination. Bridget
goes this morning. That you already know.
I shall not get any one else to supply her
place. It will therefore be your duty to pre-
pare dinner. {I shall invite two gentlemen
home to dinner with me. You receive arti-
cles from the market by nine o’clock. You
understand me, do you not i” “Perfectly.”
“And know what I expect f" “Certainly.”
“And you understand also that I am a man
of,my word." "I am very happy to hear it. I
have always considered it a very desirable
quality.” Mr. Dalrymple took his hat and
left the room. His wife's ssng-froid and per-
fect assurance puzzled him, especially as she
had appeared quite differently before mar—
riage. He did not reflect that circumstances
had changed considerably since that time.
Shortly after Mr. Dalrymple entered his
counting-room, two merchants, we may as
well call them Brown and Jones as anything
else, entered his place of business. They
were among his most intimate friends and be
welcomed them with‘great cordiality. They
congratulated him on hismnrriage.‘ He re-
ceived their congratulations‘ with a dubious
smile which might be interpreted to mean
anything you choose. “By the way,";said be
after a few minutes’ conversation,.“you must
positively dine with me to-day. Mrs. Dal—
rymple and. myself will he most happy to
meet you." After a little demur the two
friends made an appointment to meet him at
two and accompany him to dinner.
Meanwhile let us glance at his wife at home.
Bridget left the house at eight and the mar.
kcting 'was brought to the door at nine, with
a message from Mr. Dalrymple that dinner
would be expected at two, and that two
gentlemen would be' present. Mrs. Dalrym—
plo smiled to herself a little curiously, took
the marketing, and made a disposition of it
which we shall see in the sequel.
She then dressed herself for a walk and
spent the morning in making calls and shop-
ping. At two o’clock Mr. Dalrymple and his
two friends sauntcred leisurely through the
streets toward the residence of the former.
“Have you board,” said Brown, “in what
manner Smith's wife has treated him ?" “Not
a word." “She has, perhaps you know, de-
serted him and gone, no one knows whither.
But the singular part of the affair is the per-
fect coolness and composure with which she
formed and carried out all her plans. After
dinner yesterday Smitll went up to his room
for a moment, leaving his pocketbook behind
him on the table. His wife following him
softly locked him into his room. She then
took the pocket-book which contained several
hundred dollars, and sent for a hackney-
coach. She entered this and was driven off
at a rapid pace. It is expected that she has
gone to New .York. Meanwhile Smith lock-
ed up in chamber, endeavored, by knocking,
to attract the attention of the servants, but
as their misstress assured them that he did
not wish to be disturbed, he was obliged to
remain for several hours in his confinement.
When he was at length released, pursuit was
fruitless.” “It seems to me that a woman
who would do such a thing," said Dalrymple
authoritatively, "cannot have been properly
trained in those habits of submission and
obedience to her husband, as her natural
master and guardian, which the soundness
of the social structure as well as the
voice of Scripture imperatively demands."
“In my opinion,”'said Jones, who had not yet
spoken, “there are some women whom it is
impossible to train in the manner you name.
There are some women of such a nature that
they will not brook subjection, even to their
husbands—or, in fact subordination of any
kind." . ,
“I would like,” said Dalrymple, in a firm
tone, "to see any woman whom I could not
bring under subjection. To me a henpecked
husband is an anomaly. I cannot conceive of
a man surrendering the authority which is his
natural prerogative into the’hands of a wo-
man. .If there are such cases, they call not
for my pity', for they are submitting to what
might have been avoided. but my contempt."
.“Do you intend, Dalrymple,” said Jones,
lauging, “to carry out your theory of domes-
tic government under your present circum-
stances ?" ,
“I certainly have no intention," said Dal-
ry mple, coloring a little at the thoughts of the
scene which that morning had witnessed, “to
submit to petticoat government. In my eyes
the husband should be at the head of the
household, and while I'occupy that position
I shall delegate my authority to no one.”
The conversation which I have recorded
above brought the three friends to their desti-
nation. Mr. Dalrymple introduced his friends
Brown and Jones to his wife. She Welcomed
them with a sweet smile, assuring them that
as her husband's friends they wimld hold a
high _placc in her esteem. After a few mo-
ments Mr. Dalrymple inquired of his wife if
dinner Was ready. . "It is on the table,” said
she, promptly. He could scarcely repress a
smile of exultation. ‘ l was sure," thought
he, “that when she saw how firm I was she
Would yield. After all, that is the only way
to manage." He ushered his visitors into the
dining room,;in which the table was spread.
“I have provided a dinner to-day,gentlemen,”
he-said, as he was sharpening the knife pre
paratory to carving, “which is an especial fa-
vorite with me—I mean roast turkoy.” As he
spoke he lifted the cover, but (how shall I
relate the sequel?) his astonished gaze rcstcd‘
upon an uncooked turkey in the same state in
which he had sent it home. With a hurried
hand he lifted successfully thecovers of the
other dishes, and with the same result. Un-
cooked squashes and potatoes with their skins
on stared successively in, h.faca. Looking
at his wife he inquired sternly :—“Will you
explain the meaning of this madam ‘1’" “Cer-
tainly,” said Mrs. Dalrymple, with the same
sweet smile which had welcomed the visitors.
“Bridget left me this morning, and 1 have
done what I could tow/ards supplying ,her
place. I am only sorry if the dinner is not
to your taste." Mr. Dalrymple was boiling
over with anger and indignation. Ile con-
tained himself sufficiently to say to his visi-
tors :-—“Gentlemcn, I regret that circumstan-
ces have conspired to render useless the
vit-u ion at a more convenient opportu-
nity." Brown and Jones with no little won-
der withdrew. “And now. madam," said
Dalrymple. after. they had gone, “what do
you intend by this insult which you have put
upon me in my own house?" “You are a
little excited," said his wife, fanning herself,
“until you will only recollect yourself, you
will remember that I warned you that I
should not supply B‘ridgct’s place. That
formed no part of my plan when I uulrricd
you, and be assured that I am a woman of
my word. I shall continue to pursue the
same course that I have done."
“Dcigu to inform 1113, Mrs. D..said her
husband. sarcastically, “where you intend to
take your meals in the event of my pursuing
such acourse. I presume such,a rcpast as
you have kindly furnished us to-alay would
suit your taste in better than mine.”
“Ihave already made arrangements," said
his wife, coolly, “to take my meals at the
Ladies’ Ordinary in this street. If you will
excuse meI will put on my bonnet and shawl
and go there immediately, as it is my usual
dinner hour, and my exertions of this morn-
ing have somewhat fatigued me.” She was
about to leave the room when her husband’s
voice detained her. “Did Bridget tell you
where she was going, when she left here ?"
"To her married situer'al I. believe, in this
place." Mr. Dalrymple and his wife parted.
One took dinner at a coffee-house; the other
at the Ladies’ Ordinary. .
Alas for,human consistency! Will the
reader believe that in spite of all Mr. Dalrymv
pic's previous declarations. Bridget .wasrc-
instated in her former place of employment
before night. ~
a lesson which he did not easily forget. He
had learned that man’s will is no match for
woman's wit and will united.
It must not be supposed that he yielded the
point at once; 'on many after occasions he
endeavored to put in practice his favorite
theory of domestic subordination. but always
with the same result. Mrs. Dalrymple was
not a woman to be bafiled or subdued. She
pursued the even tenor of her way, deviating
from it for no one, yielding her purpose to
none. ‘
When her husband became fairly convinced
that it was quite fruitlessin him to contend
for the supremacy, he yielded by-degrees un.
til he has become, so farms deference to his
band—not-henpecked in any sense, for Mrs.
Dalrymple does not wish to rule—she only
objects to being ruled.
I may add that it is a long time since Mr.
Dalrymple had been heard to repeat his once
A Tale of Horrors.
A young lawyer won and married a bride
who was the object of her parents’ refined
and devoted love, and the favorite of all the
circle of her numerous friends. A beautiful
cottage, elegantly located, and beautifully
furnished by her parents, was the happy
home of this favored pair. Several years
glided by, and the husband began to ply the
sparkling glass. Warnings from the Bible,
entrcaties from his devoted partner, and the
solemn pleadings of his friends, eculd not
arrest his downward course.
One fierce wintry night he came home reel-
ing through the snow, and found his wife in
a miserable, cold-room, an invalid, trying to ‘
keep two babes warm. The drunken mad-
mm swore he would soon have it warm
enough. Midnight came; the tempest had
increased; the elements were in fierce cot.-
fllct, and the raging fiend in human form was
within.
How he fired his home will never be knoWn.
Madmen care for nothing. The flames, fau-
ned by the winds, drove out the wife, hear-
ing her darlings, to face that awful tempest-
Aquarter of a mile off stands the nearest
house. Soon exhausted, she sank down in
the deep snow, with her helpless babes cling-
ing to their mother. But a few minutes suf-
ficed to reduce their home leashes.
In the morning, the sobered author of this
rain, with the parents and friends, were
searching under snow drifts for the lost ones.
At length, wrapped in a spotless winding
sheet, they were found. White as marble,
the lovely features of the mother dlsclosed
frozen, silent tears on her cheeks, and cherub
forms clasped in her arms.
A Sharp Trick:
Saystthittle Rock Gazette: Several days
ago a man came to Arkansaw, and failing to
secure work, he went around town begging
for something to eat. Everywhere he was
refused, and finally he,went into a vacant
store room and sent a boy after a newspaper
reporter. When the reporter came the man
said :
"I have been commanded by the Lord to
fast one hundred days, and I think that I can '
accomplish the feat, for the Lord says that I
must.”
The reporter published a long account of
the, man’s intentions, and quite a sensation
was created. The chief of police went down
and told the man he must eat, that the Lord
might command him to starve, but that the
_city would have to bury him. The man'
swore that he would not eat, and the chief
went to a restaurant and ordered a heavy
meal to be sent to the fanatic. The meal
‘came, and the man, merely eating enough to
sustain llfe. put the remainder in a carpet-
bag. The chief of police came again, and
asking the man if he had eaten, and he re-
plied thal he had not, but that he had given
the meal to a tramp. The chief sent another
meal, which found the “grissack” repository.

, It is related of a man in a Dakota town that
the postmaster several times informed him
that there was a letter at the office for him.
Finally he asked, “From what state did the
letter come?" “ Ohio," replied the postmaster.
“Send ittn the dead letter office; ‘ that letter
contains my grocery bill. Oonfound that gro

The most considerate woman in the world
lives in Boston. The other day while carry-
ing a dog in her arms she fell violently on the

to the canine for her carelessness. When
Henry Bergh hears of this be will shed tears
of joy as big as horse chestnuts.
The governor general of India has finally
succeeded in stamping out the suttee. The
“suttee” is the immolathn of a widow on her
husband's funeral pyer. This action of the
governor general will throw a fresh crop of
widows on the market. India under the
British rule is steadily deteriorating.
A Massachusettsman is caring himself ‘of
dyspepsia by a ten clays’ fast. At the end of
five days he said he felt full of energy, had
no sense of hunger, and expected to taste
nothing until his,time Was up. There is no
manner of doubt that fasting will cure dys-
pepsia, or any other disease if the sufferer
will only refrain from eating long enough.

A young physician informed a pretty lady
patient, who was suffering from chronic sore
throat, that the only sure cure for it was a
beard. “That’s of no interest to me," she rc-
plied. “I’ve got no beard.” “True," he
replied gallantly; “but you can use mine as
often as you walft to." They were married
a few months later.

favorite text, “Wives, obey your husbands !’ _
The soft west~wind rode slowly melt the
land, calling to the sleeping flowers. "pad,
101 above the brown earth appearcda‘tiny
yellow crocus-head which nodded a welcome
to the ambassador of the Spring. Then a
blue-eyed violet rose beside a suowdrop, and
soon the whole land bloomed be welcome—
the slender string of blue-bobs chimed back
the windfs laughter; the rollicking brooks
flashed mischlcvous glances in return for his
kisses, and gurglcd and sang and shouted as
they raced over the pebbles; the delicate
ferns waved and bowed before him; the
liliesoflho valley rang out a scentedpcal of
mimic; the golden-coated bees swung to and
fro in the crimson hearts of the roses. '
Then the south-west wind and the west
wind met in council, and agreed it was high
time to notify the world that Spring had
come. SJ, one beautiful, dewy morningai lark
was let loose over the meadows, which flew
up above the purple mists of the mountpins,
proclaiming With its silvery song to the list-
ening earth, that Spring was crowned. 7'
The days lengthened and grew warniér;
the slender shafts of sunlight broadened and
deepened. In the whenbfields the ripening
grain rocked and clinkcd musically to the
breeze: the stretches of long, slender grass
waved noiselessly before the advancing feet
of the blooming Summer; the roses tossed
their beautiful heads and gossips-d about the
coming queen, in flirted with the tall sun-
flowers ; the little brown brooks flowed down
the wide rivers, and swept oVer thblharbbr
0n the gray rocks the
ff)?" into the ocean. ‘
tiny sea-swallows chatted and chirpcd'of the
gay life they were leading now that the
queen was near; while in and out among the
reeds along the shore the sand-pipeib'flitted
busily, now and then crying out to the roll-
ing waves that curled up the sands.
“Careless as yct‘of coming state
June leaned over‘thc summer gm.”
What a flutteringjof wings and wa‘vin'g of
leaves there was, when~’thc birds and flowers
woke up one morning, to find the royalqueen,
smiling above them! flow . the west
wind laughed as he and the queen
roamed together through the meadows, and
her white feet scatteredlbe glistening jewels
from the king cups .and the daisies! How
merrily the valley bells and blue-bells
clashed and tinkled and chimed, as the sweet
faced queen and soft wind wandered past
them! ' ‘
Day after day. under hér sway, the wheat
ears turned to gold, and clashed their tiny
castanets, while the butterflies danced tolthe
music which, by-and-by in the clover fields,
the honey bees bummed to the listening
daisies. _ _ . , ._ . M‘.
In the orchards summer’s fingers turned
the waxen blossoms to green fruit; while a
bevy of birds sang lovingly of her goodness.
The west wind whispered secrets in her ears
as, hand-in-hand, they rested in the cool,
dusky cVening shadows beside some mur-
muring river; while summer blushed rosy-
red and looked so bewitchingly lovely that
one beautiful, quiet night he and she stole
away together; and in his arms he bore her
across the oceans to the enchanted gardens of
eternal summer.
The next morning the brown bramble
.whispercd to the clematis, that he had seen
the queen and wind go away in the night,
and not return. Swiftly the .news spread
through the meadows, and thc'birda carried
it up to the tops of the mountains:
“Summer is gone—the white stars say—-
We kisscdits dying lips to-day, _
And scarcely knew it was passing away.’
The flowers called to the south wind to
take the west wind’s place; and over the
river they saw him approaching, leading
autumn by the hand, his breath stirring her
gauzy veil, her eyes, soft and hazy, smiling
up at his caresses; and together, side by side,
they gathered in the ripened fruits that
summer had left on every hand, singing-—
“Soon from out the gleamy meltdowswill the bar-
vest be coming; ‘
Ah, the jolly, jesting follows, how they laugh
and how they eat l”
The grain fell in glittering heaps under the ‘
gleaming scythes; the hay filled the barns
with sweet scents, and whispered to the
swallows, of the beautiful meadows it had
been taken from, all because summer had
gone away with the west wind; while'the
swallows screamed back of the wonderful
feasts spread for them by the new rulers.
But, hush! The heavy tread of the east
wind made the land tremble; and the birds
flew away at his approach, leaving the tender
blossoms to his mercy. The roses tossed
their arms. wildly, vainly reaching for the
support from which the rude wind had torn
them; while the strong-hearted, golden-rod
leaned down to the purple roadside asters
and whispered words of cheer.
Slowly the east wind retreated leaving‘be~
hind him desolated meadows and hills; grow];
ing because the purple asters and golden- rod
still swayed beside the dreary roadside. But
into his place swept the fierce north wind
bearing winter in his arms,
“From his far off home
On the ice-bound Arctic wave.”
Down the mountain, across the hills, over
the river and through the meadows swept
winter and the north gwind, dusting the gol-
den-rod and asters with ermine and diamonds
and wrapping the whole land in white robes.
What new life springs into us! what warm
blood bounds lhrough our veins on the north
winds kisses and winter’s reign!
"The ice shod feet
Of his courses fleet,”
tramp down into the valleys, while lily-bclls
and blue-bells give place to silvery, tinkling
sleigh bolls.
"A spell is abroad and a song.
The spellers and singers along.—
Wizards and witches by pairs.
In cutters snug are the Adams and Eves,
. Eden’s own children and heirs!
Bells in the woods. in the lieu of the leaves,
And bells that the echo wears—
It in ring, ring, ring, to the swinging gait,
Then the teams break trot, for the hour is late,
At a. ting-n-ling. ting-n-ling. galloping ratq!”
What joy and music and laughter they
bring I How the moon shines over the snow
and the answering rivers and echoing hills!
How the musiccf the bells sends our blood
running riot, as
“Through bridge and gateway we’re shooting
straightway,
Their toll-man was too slow i
He’ll listen after curious and laughter
As over the hill we go.
The girls cry Flcl for shame l —
Their checks and lips are red,
And so, with kisses. kisses, kisses,
”They take the toll instead.”
So the seasons round into winter, and the
sweet flower—hens give place to.
“The clung, clung clan’gmf the sleighlbells’
chime."

A. ALLEN hasjustly earned this title,
and thousands are this day rejoicing
ovu- a fine head of hair produced by
her unequaled preparation for restor-
ing, invigorating, and beautifying the
Hair. Her World's Hair Restorer
quickly cleanses the scalp, removing
Dandruff, and arrests the fall; the
hair, if gray, is‘changcd to its natural
color, giving it the same vitality and
luxurious quantity as in youth.
COMPLIMENTARY. “My
hair is now restored to its
youthful color; I have not
a gray hair left. I am sat-
isfied that the preparation
is not a dye, but acts on
the secretions. My hair
ceases to fall, which is cer-
tainly an advantage to me,
who was in danger of be-
coming bald.” This is
the testimony of all who
use Mrs. S. A. ALLEN’S
WORLD’S HAIR RESTORER.
“Ono Bottle did it." Thatis the
expression of many who .have had
their gray hair restored to Its natural

Having recently - purchased the
drug store, at above location, form-
erly occupied by Mr. Monson Hoyt,
I have purposely deferred calling
attention to the change until I had
completed the entire reconstruction
and re-stoeking of the establishment.
After many weeks of close and con-
stant devotion to the task, I' have
now perfected all my arrangements
and can conscieneiously solicit the
patronage of the public. It shall
constitute my aim and ambition to
establish a first-class Pharmacy in
every respect, stocked and- equipped
in the most thorough manner, and
to attain this end I shall devote my
entire time, attention, and~ the many
years of active experience as phar-
macist and chemist which I have
bad. My kind patrons may rely im-
plicitly not only upon the highest de.
gree of purity of my drugs and me-
dicinal preparations but also fair and
upright dealing and reasonable
prices. 6m4

The Elements of Gentillty.
A man may be a gentleman in appearance
in manner or in feeling, or in all three. If he
fulfills either condition he has a title to the
name. If he fulfill all of them he will be I0
fine a creature that the name can do him no
good, and if his right to it is-qucstioned it
will not disturb him.
Appearance is largely a matter of attire,
which is to be bought for money; but it de-
pends, too, upon taste, which is much more
difficult to purchase, and upon natural gifts,
which cannot be bought.
Good manners are either a disguise or they
are;E the outward evidence-of a good dispo-
sition. They may be acquired, but it “not
easy to buy them, though their absence is
readily pardoned in persons who are very
‘rich, very good, very intelligent or enri-
nently powerful from any cause. .
A man who has the feelings of a gentle-
man is usually born with them. To him
they are instincts by which he will regulate
his ghehaviour in circumstances where neither
his bxperience nor his reason can gui 6 him.
But they may be acquired,—-m9st readily by
association with persons who already possess
them, and they are fostered by decent
living. - I
A gentleman will have, first of all. self-
respect. He will tear sechondemnation
more than anything else, except, perhaps,
for a different reason—self-praise.
And, as he respects himself as a man, and
exacts decent treatment or himself, so will
he also respect other men as men and use
them accordingly—Now York Jim.

How Butter may be Spoiled. _
Good butter may bespoiled in churning.
Overchurning ruins the textureand changes
the proper waxiness to a disagreeable sickly
greasiness. This is more easily done in a
churn with dashes. which press the butter
against the sides of the churn and squeese it
and ?rnb it until it is spoiled. Too long
churning spoils the quality by the oxidation
of the butter and the premature formation of
, strong flavored acidsjn, the ,full presence of '
which we call rancidity, It may be spoiled
at too high a temperature, by'which itll
made oily and of greasy textui'e and flavor.
No subsequent treatment can remedy
this error. It may be spoiled before
the cream reaches the churn by keeping it ,
too long, or, what is practically the some. by
keeping it in too warm a. place; fifty degrees
is about the right temperature if the cream
is kept a week; if it is kept at sixtyftwo de-
grees three days is long enough.‘ White
specks are produced'in butter by overchurn-
ing or by having the cream too sour. Either
ol these faults produces curd in the milk, and
the small flakes of this cannot bewashed
out of the butter. Milk fromaeow in ill-
health and that is acid wheg drawn will pro-
duce specky butter. So will the use or salt.
containingspecks of lime, which unite with
the butter ond'form insoluble lime soop.
White specks are covered up. to alarge ex-
tent by good coloring, which is madoof oil
as the solvent. But this use of coloring!»
disguise a fault and to add an undeserved
virtue is worthy of denunciation.~—Amerz'cau
