He knows that the 61 years experience in wagon building which stands behind every wagon is a guarantee that when he buys a Weber he buys the highest quality. Sixty-one years of wagon building have resulted in the Weber wagon of today, which, for correct design, excellence of material and conscientious construction, stands with out a peer — King of all farm wagons. By ld T.L. Varner, Hiram * HOME CIRCLE DEPARTMENT * A Sermon to Husbands. We are not a minister, or even the son of a minister, so pardon us if we make a dismal failure in our first attempt to preach a ser mon. You will find our text in the bible. It is not necessary to give the chapter and verse, but look for it. In brief it is this: Spend some of your evenings at home with your wife and chil dren. if you have an amiable, gentle wife, surely yoiir home must be a pleasant one, but if, from increasing cares or other reasons, she has grown fretful or sullen, who knows but a littlo more attention or kindness on your part might do a great deal towards the return of the amia bility you so much admired in her girlhood. If you would stay at home oftener evenings, treat' ing her with something of the old tenderness, making her believe, at least, that you are not wholly indifferent to happiness, you would soon see a change for the better in your household. She has not forgotten the time, if you have, (not very long ago, perhaps) when her society was all you asked for to make the long evenings pass delightfully away. Loving you as she did, she would have gone on through life in the same quiet .way, con tented and happy. But, alas, you soon grew tired of the same room evening after evening, the same easy chair, and the saddest of all, weary of the society of your wife —impatient of the restraints of home, longing for a change. So you spend your evenings away meeting many gay, companion able fellows, who entertain you with wit, song and wine, and you fancy yourself delighted and charmed. Perhaps there are moments of reflection, when con science seems whispering to you of the pure, holy influences of home which you have so reckless ly and unfeelingly cast away from you. Your lonely wife sits by the fireside, watching and waiting for your return through the hours that drag 1 slowly along, listening eagerly to every foot fall, starting at every sound, fearing, Bhe knows not what, yet conscious always of the weary heartache that seems wearing her life away. Evening after evening she watches your preparations for departure, hoping, meanwhile, you will relent and stay at home with her. But you hastily don your hat and coat, turning your back resolutely towards her, fear ing to encounter that gaze of wistful entreaty, for you know she is watching you, with tears silently rolling down her pale cheeks. You know it, still you do not think best to notice it, for you dislike a scene. Tears annoy you exceedingly, so you close the door, perhaps with a bang, try ing hard to feel very indignant towards her for daring to weep, even behind your back. So the lonely wife brushes away tho falling tears, and sits down with bitterness in her heart, to com pare the last years of her mar- AND Cures Coughs, Colds, Croup, La Grippe, Asthma, Throat , and Lung Troubles. Prevents Pneumonia and Consumption A. J. COOPER & COMPANY. THE ORIGINAL LAXATIVE HONEY and TAR in the YELLOW PACKAGE ried life to those first ones, made so bright and happy by her hus band’s love and presence. Some times softer feelings fill her heart, and she dreams of that dear old home she left for this one—the home that sheltered her child hood and youth; and as she thinks of her beloved parents, her brothers and sisters, the light, the warmth and love in the old homestead, no wonder she bows her head and weeps by her lonely fireside, like a grieved, homesick child. Of course no husbands in this community aot iq this manner; if they did we would suggest that their wives read to them this sermon as so near .the beginning of a new year is a food time to begin a change. A Great Evil. Our race groans under evils, and carries burdens heavy to be borne.. Some of these may be traced back to the first sin, and are beyond our control; but most of them are of our own produc ing, and may be arrested by a resolute act of the will, or by aids which come from other sour ces. Two evils now fill the land and world which are of human au thority. One of these is alcoholic drinks and the other is tobacco. Of the latter we will say a few words. This has grown and over spread the nations of the earth till now it challenges observation, reflection, and the exercise of enlighten conscience while look' ing the factB in the face. Such is its extent that many millions bf acres are occupied in its growth, producing millions of tons annually and costing the hu man race fifteen thousand mil lions of dollars. How appalling such a state of things while want and suffering are all around us. Yet this enormous expenditure is entirely useless. No one claims that he is the better for the use of tobacco in any form. It is a mere habit, innocently formed, and, [.while at first perhaps ( pleasure, has grown to be a mas ter and tyrant. Not only this, but it is an of fensive, filthy habit, finding no place in the church, in the par lor, or elsewhere, as a high or der of society meets and indulges in exercises which the higher na ture craves. Multitudes using it are asham ed of the fruits of it, and would be glad to be rid of it if they knew how to break its enchant ment. But this is not all, or ev eu the worst of it. It is injurious to health and when taken to ex cess operates as of a poisonous nature weakening the system and leading to premature death Such evjls, together with its enormous expenditure, ought to make sober, reflecting, conscien tious men consider whether it can be right to continue such a habit as this. A Gentleman of Leisure. There are very few grown men or even “stout boys,” in this country who have any pride in being out of business. Occa sionally one is found, however, and when found he is worth male ing a note of. We ran across a genuine specimen the other day or, rather, he ran against us— emphatically against us—against our feelings, against onr judg ment, against our sympathy, but not against^our pity. We did pity him, and that was the ex tent of our recognition. He was dressed faultlessly—that is, if the extreme of latter day fashion can be called faultless; he had beautiful white hands and teeth, his hair was parted in tho mid dle, his downy mustache adroitly curled, a gold mounted eye-glass dangled from a buttou hole of his vest, and a “nobby” little walk ing stick was twisted in his be- jeweled lady lingers. He was proud to sav that he was a “gen tleman of leisure.” We inferred as much before he said it. What else could have been inferred? What earthly use could the mor tal thing be put to? Physical force he had not; his mind was as vacant as an exhausted re ceiver; and he seemed to have no excuse for living except to ad vertise some tailoring establish ment. It is something to the credit of this country that such specimens of the genus homo are rare. We can only wish that they were so rare that circus men would be induced to cage them with their monkeys; though The monkeys would be apt to protest against the companionship. How’s This?

The New Year. We are standing at the threshold of the New Yoar. How many of us are satisfied with what wo havodono during the past year? How many are pleased with what lias been left undone? Ts there a reader of The New Era who has done all the good £|iat he could, to all the people he could, at every opportunity that ho had? Did you say a few kind words and do a few noble deeds in the old year? Then double tho number In tho New, Did you visit the sick and administer to the widow and orphan occasional ly during the old year? Then you should do so far oftener during tho now one. Any one who spoke an unkind word or did an unkind act during the past year will surely make all possible amends now and resolve never to do so again. Alas at the bright hopes and antici pations we had a year ago, now lying dead with tho good eld year which has just passed I The words we might have said which wo never uttered, the deeds wo might have done which wo left undone, the ones which we might have made happior who are now gone from us forever; these things,when wo think on tnoin, cause us to be sad because we might have done so much while so little was accomplished. Rut wo are not of that number who mourn unceas ingly over what “might have been.” With a smile and a resolution un shaken, we face the Now Year, what- ev6r it may bring to us, saying: “Ring out the old, ring In the new; Ring out the false, ring in the true.” Yes, and we will bo true, truer, at least, than we have ever been before. Truer to friend, to loved ones, and self, to mankind and duty. Father Time, help us to say and do the word and act that It is fitting for us to say and do. Help us to learn from past experiences to leave unsaid and undone the things which it were better not to say and do. Help us to keep from making the mistakes and doing the wrongs In the future that we have made and done in the past. Help us to be a little better, a little truer, a little purer, a little kinder, aud a little moro earnest, concentrated, and per severing in the Now Yoar. Success only comes by long, continued, and conscientious work, but give us health, energy, and determination to do a man’s part and to do it as a man should. Should tho summons come before much shall have houn done, let us be able to look into out own hearts with a clear conscience and say: “I did tlie best that I could while 1 was here, some one has been made a little happier and better, none have been worso or sad for anything that I have done or left nndono, with no regrets for tho past nor fears for the future, I submit, willingly, to His will.” J.
