ADVICE TO HUSBANDS.
A FEW ORIGINAL SUGGESTIONS
ABOUT MAKING HOME HAPPY.
The Right Way to Soften the Stony
Female Heart and Insure the
Occassional Presence of
Your Wife at
Home.
In addressing this essay to the hus
bands of this land I feel the great diffi
culty of handling a subject so fraught
with potent meaning to them and so li
able to call forth criticisms from all
quarters. Yet I also feel that just about
this time it is necessary for some one
with Lis heart in the matter to say what
ought to be done to make our homes
pleasant and comfortable, so that our
wives will remain home at night tun!
timl pleasure in the company of their
husbands.
This great and growing evil must be
mat.
How?
Not by weeping and praying in the
privacy of our own rooms, while we rook
the cradle and wonder when that woman
is going to shake her gang of old gossip
pers and come home; not by going out
after her and pleading for her to come
home with you, nor by meeting her at
the door with tearful looks, or rolling
pins and tears.
No; you cannot soften tjie stony female
heart that way; it only serves to chill
what little love she may have for you, as
she reels merrily home.
I am not addressing this article to
those men whose wives beat them or
otherwise really abuse them; such tire
outside the pale of my observations. My
heart yearns over them in tender pity,
but 1 must speak to those men whose
evening are passed in lonely contempla
tion of the mournful fact that they are
joined to wives who tind their homes un
congenial and seek in the giddy compan
ionship of other women those diversions
they should extract from their own house
holds. Oh l how my heart goes out to
these lonely men, and how I long to
prove to them that they can make their
lives one continual picnic and keep their
beauty from fading, while at the same
time bringing up their children in inti
mate acquaintanceship with their mother.
The secret of it is all contained in these
words —make your home pleasant.
Few women can long resist the power
of a charming man, good and dainty
fodder, a neat and well-appointed home,
choice, selected brands ot conversation,
with now and then some pleasing com
pany of neighbors. The woman who as
she gets her supper claps a bonnet on
her head and rushes out to some other
woman's house to talk till late at night
about puffed sleeves, yoke bands, beaded
passementeries and other things which
the masculine mind is not capable of
comprehending, may not at first yield
to gentle treatment, but it fetches her tit
last.
And again, when your wife rises in the
morning with a dull, throbbing headache,
and desires a pail of sparkling ice water,
don't sneer at her over the coffee pot and
ask her in a cast iron voice where she
has been till night, nor sulk till through
breakfast in chilly silence.
Go and get the ice water, and put a
wet towel around her throbing head
with your (left, loving fingers, whose
gentle touch will magnetize her and drive
awav that splitting ache. Let her see
that you are glad that she came home
at all, and do not try to drive her away
again by abuse or scorn. Somewhere
in every woman's heart there is a tender
spot, and love will tind it.
Don't kick every . time she conies in
without wiping her feet on the mat, or
forgets to chop the wood and bring up
the coal. Huy her a smaller ax so that
she may find her labor lighter. \\ hen
she is shoveling snow or coal on the
front walk, don't give her maddening di
rections out of the window, and when
she brings unexpected guests home to
dinner welcome them cordially,. and
don’t let them see that you have had to
send cut for more fodder to regale them
with. Never let your wife's guests have
reason to suspect that she has married
a Manitoba blizzard or a Delano refriger
ator as you sit at the table with them.
When she gets up in the night, thinking
she hears burglars, and stands at the
head of the stairs with a horse-pistol,
her heart away up in her throat, clad
only in her fears and a long white gar
ment, don't jeer at her sarcastically and
call her a coward for not plunging down
and cleaning out the entire gang. Allow
her to go to sleep again without asking
her if she has fastened the gate, locked
the doors, shut the windows, put out the
lights and the cat, brought up water for
the children, fixed the fire, wound the
clock, set tin* alarm, covered the canary,
loosed the dog, chopped wood, brought
up coal, set the milk pail with the tickets
in it and said her prayers. All these
things help to make her f’**el that her
! home is a place where she can go long
i before all the oth#r places are shut up.
Then you must make the house beauti-
I ful and cheerful. The old-time dodge of
sanding the floor and putt'ng a few
| wooden tables and chairs around with
large stone cuspidors and bock-beer signs
on the walls is not as attractive as it was
twenty years ago. I’eople who recom
mend this device are wav behin 1 the
age. Decorate the home, cover the walls
with objects of beauty and taste. Of
course you will say that this costs money,
but I want to show you how to do it
cheapily and prettily; in fact, at almost
no expense. We cannot all live like
artists and have Gobelin tapestry and
real oil hand-paintings, but we can, with
a little ingenuity, ribbons and gilt fix up
a home so that women will linger fondly
about it and spend their evenings in it.
| Few men realize how women appreciate
these little attentions to their or bow
I necessary they are to the peace and com
fort of the family. There are things
thrown away daily that would go far
I to decorating a house, things which we
scarcely notice until some lady takes
hold and puts them to use and we wonder
I why we did not think of it ourselves.
Among the many things which cun be
utilized I give only a few. A pair of old
rubber or leather boots and a bottle of
twenty-five cents gilding fluid produces
a pretty parlor ornament as one could
desire. Set them in the window and fill
them with fresh cut flowers, and the
effect is very hors du combat indeed. A
battered watering-pot gilded and decked
with lavendar ribbons may be hung in
an alcove and gives an air of moisture
to a room. A wheelbarrow can be paint
ed green and trimmed with lace looks
charming and can be utilized as a wash
basket on Mondays. Those who
can paint may display their
taste by embellishing it with flower de
signs of various patterns. Gilt irf used
now on everything and goes a great way
in adding embonpoint to a room.
A string of gilded tomato-cans hung
across the hall with pompons of hen's
leathers stuck in them is a brilliant idea
of a gentleman in Newark, who give a
great deal of thought to these things.
He has what he calls a “dodo” ofbrouzed
ie plates along his parlor wall, that is
very touching when the soft twilight
shadows play among the irregularites of
the metal and it calls to the mind a row
of ancestral shields. A defunct bustle,
adorned with- narrow junk ribbons,
makes a dainty canary cage cover, and
an old white plug hat with designs in
India ink drawn all over it with the end
of a feather duster stuck in the top is a
pleasing device. Have you ever seen an
old coal-scuttle, which you might have
discarded, fixed up and hanging in a
jiarlor with the merry summer sunlight
caressing it? They look lovely when
hammered, gilded and lined with quilted
ecru satin. A wash boiler may be utilized
the same way. It can be suspended on
three broomsticks painted red and filled
with daisies in the summer and cigar
stumps in the winter.
Everything can be utilized. Take a
pair of old jtolka dot trousers that you
would not wear for fear of Iteiug mobbed,
and a little trouble would make them
exceedingly decorative. Tie them with
black bows, fringe the bottoms or sew on
“rick-rack,” and nail them upon the wall.
Stuff a lot of dried grasses and cat-tails
down into them until they assume a
rotund and bulgeons apjtearanoe. A
couple of green bottles stuck in the pock
ets adds to the effeei, or the [rockets may
be utilized us card receivers, although an
old vest will do bet'er, ns it has more
j sockets and less bulgeosity. A large
circle of cold buckwheat cakes nailed to a
ceiling or arranged in groujis about the
wails is anew idea and a very pretty
conception. They might have little land
scapes painted on them by your artist
friends, or colored cards maybe sewed on
them. A nice curtain can be made by
tacking them all together ami hanging
them uj) with a border of red flannel
stitched to top and bottom.
Fish-balls when dry and hard can be
glided and make artistic pajrer weights;
the same may be said of biscuits. A love
ly mat or tire screen is made of cold varn
ished waffles riveted or glued together in
a frame of black walnut. It isn’t gen
erally known that a waffle with a handle
to it like a flat-iron is a good thing to
scrub bare floors with sand.- There are
hundreds of these things, and I think
half the pleasure is in thinking out and
apjrlying them yourself. They all add to
tne attractiveness of the house and aid
in keeping the women at home.
Keep the house neat. No woman likes
to come home and find the house littered
tap and everything upside down and scat
tered around. This has driven many a
wife away in disgust. In addition to this
take pains to be dressed in a pleasing but
not gaudy manner. She don't like to
c#me home and find you looking like a
professional slouch in your shirt sleeves,
with your feet on the mantlepiece, the
house full of five cent cigar smoke, chil
dren not washed or dressed nor the beds
made. Always wear your best when she
edmes home, and she cannot fail to notice
in a few weeks how pretty you look, and
think better of you for it. AH these
things have their effect.
Then some attention must Is* jraid to
home conversation. Don’t talk about
money matters at all. There’s nothing
Breaks a woman uj> so quickly as a re
quest for money and the consequent
wrangle about it. Never give her occa
sion to ask you what yon did with the
dollar she gave yon last week, and when
she brings home ice cream or fried oys
ters late at night, don’t tell her that she
had better have saved the money and
spent it for window-shades or a hash
cnopifer. Don’t talk to her about
things in which she has no interest, but
study to make your conversation edify
ing and pleasing. Talk about the last
ffcvre ball match, taw*p powted so that you
can give her tijrs on racing, and treasure
any little gossij) about the jrrize ring till
yc l can discuss it at the table. Talk
over any event with her in yachting, dog
fighting or boating circles that is inter
esting and put uj) a pistol gallery in the
cellar and a sand-bag and gloves in the
garret where she can develop her muscles
without going to the club. Enter hear
tily iuto all her sports, and you will find
a sincere pleasure in them yourself.
All these things and many more can
be done to add to the attractions of
home, and the result will be that our
wives will sjrend five nights in the week
in the bosom of their families and a flood
of happiness will fill the hearts of men
now sitting in gloomy despair at forsa
ken firesides, meditating a sjreedy return
to their father's homestead.

DEATH OF A PROMINENT TEACHER.
Prof. I. F. Cox, President of the South
ern Female College, l)ie Sudden
ly in Latirunge, Ga.
Professor I. F. Cox, the President of
the Southern Female College, of La-
Grange, Ga., died very suddenly at his
residence in that city Monday morning
at 3:30 o'clock, it is supposed from an at
tack of apoplexy. He retired in his usual
health the night before, and his untimely
death was a great shock to his friends
and family.
Probably there was no educator In this
section more extensively and favorably
known as an instructor of girls than
Prof. Cox. For a considerable number
of years he has been the President of the
Southern Female College, and from small
beginnings he has brought the institu
tion to a very high standard of excel
lence. It is a Baptist institution and has
a reputation as one of the most prom
inent female colleges in the land. Him
self a teacher of a high order of ability—
excelled by none and equalled by few —he
was ably assisted by members of his
family, who are his corps of teachers. He
leaves the < college in the hands of those
who thoroughly understand his plans
and wishes, and will maintain it at its
present standard.
Prof. Cox was one of the most promi
nent Baptists in the State. He was a
good man and a pure Christian, whose
death is a severe loss to that community
and its announcement will be received
with sorrow throughout the South,
The commencement evercises of the
college began Saturday. Rev. Dr. Ryals,
of Mercer University, preached the com
mencement sermon Sunday. The re
mainder of the programme was dispensed
with.

THE LIFE THEREAFTER
Future State Considered—An Interesting
Address by Mr. Wallace.
From the San Francisco Chronicle]
The well-known English scientist, Dr.
Alfred Wallace, gathered quite a large
audience before him in Metropolitan
Hall last evening, who were evi
dently anxious to hear an answer
from Job’s significant question,
“If a man die shall he live again? "
He characterized his theme as the
question of questions, which the ancient
scientists considered the unsolved prob
lem. and that modern scientists hud either
left untouched or precisely where they
found it.
He 1 relieved that if the question were
decided negatively, it left man's con
dition utterly hopeless, destroying the
hojre of reward for justice, truth and un
selfishness, aud placing no restraint upon
the evil tendencies of man. It would
annihilate all righteous government and
establish the universal law that might
make right and build a hell on earth.
The sjreaker dwelt at length upon the
peculiar history of witchcraft, treating it
in the evident Relief that it was not in
reality the imposition for which it was so
bitterly persecuted, fought and finally
exterminated; but that there was some
truth in it, though not revealed by the
light of science at that time, is now
plainly visible. Out of the horrors re
sulting from witchcraft rose the sun of
modern science and filled the world with
lignt. Human thought was led away to
the contemplation of nature and mind,
and witchcraft was branded as a delusion
not founded upou reason.
He explained the cessation of witch
craft as having been the result of three
centuries of systematic persecution, and
likened the spiritualism of the present
day to a fresh crop that had newly
sprung up. Rut meanwhile modern science
had madegiant strides —had decided that
all force was the result of molecular
motion of matter —and the belief had be
come so strong that spiritual manifesta
tions received no credence. Into this
compact, fortified and nearly impreg
nable condition of modern science,
modern spiritualism had shot like a
thunderbolt from a clear sky. Its
spread is little less than phenomenal.
It is permeating every part of the world,
and has done what science and religion
lias been unable to do—-give a rational ac
count of the numerous phenomena that
have clogged the machinery of intelli
gence for centuries. All scientists ap
proach it with strong prejudices. Yet it
is a remarkable circumstance* that years
of deep and careful research of its bound
less resources all have decided that it is
neither an imposition nor a delusion.
Dr. Wallace classified sjriritual phe
nomena into two divisions —the physical
and the mental. To the former belong
such manifestations as the producing of
sounds by other than human agencies,
the movement of heavy bodies, transfer
ring substances long distances, writing,
drawing, painting, music and materiali
zation; and in the latter class such phe
nomena as involuntary writings, clair
voyance, trance speaking and healing.
The great striking characteristics
looked as a whole are the natural phe
nomena as opposed to artificial, and is
jieculiarly convincing about them is that
they are found in all nations and in all
places, among the ignorant as well as
the learned, aud they rue all alike.
More, and in a sense answering 11k*
question of the text, they are all essen
tially and distinctively human, repre
senting no other phase of creation.
Never in spiritual manifestations does
anything occur that cannot he traced
to a human origin somewhere. Is this
not a general proof of their once earthly
residence?
After referring to numerous convin
cing manifestations that had come into
his own personal knowledge, the sjreaker
summed ujr the situation with the declar
ation that the bible is full of spiritual
phenomena, and that by the belief in
spiritualism the handwriting on the wall
before Belshazzar's host was made clear,
it was plain to see how the victims of
Nebuchadnezzar’s wroth escaped the fire,
how Christ cast out devils and changed
water into wine. Spiritualism gives a
new life and interest in witchcraft and
puts upon it a rational interpretation.
It proves that mind may exist without
brain, and jrlaces anew light on death,
funYncourt
New York, June 17. — I The sjjectaele of
one man suing another for a girl's
breach of promise of marriage entertain
ed a host of Hebrews in Justice Rhinert's
court in Brooklyn yesterday. The plain
tiff and rejected suitor was Samuel Cole
man, an extremely young Hebrew, and
the defendant was Charles Frank, who
has on his business card the words “mat
rimonial agent.” For some time Frank
has owed Coleman a few dollars, and a
week ago the latter offered to wipe out
the debt if Frank, through his agency,
would get him a bride. Frank agreed
and selected a fair young maiden named
Wolf. Coleman was to call on her, but
his clothes were too soiled to allow him
to appear in female company, and so
Frank offered to clean them. lie got the

A Philadelphia Saloon Keeper Has a
Draft.
A saloon-keeper named Terrence J.
Lynch, at the S. E. cor. of 11th and
Locust Sts., some weeks ago was asked
to take a ticket in the May drawing of
The Louisana State Lottery and was
knocked back by the information that
ticket No. 15,766, of which he held one
tenth had drawn the Capital Prize of
$150,000. His draft for the money was
placed in the hands of the third National
Bank ofPhila., and was promptly paid.
This is the third Capital Prize of $150,-

Mr. S. J. Loniso, recently appointed
Postmaster at Temple. Indiana, has been
boycotted by the business men of that
little place and forced to leave. Accord
ing to the story, nearly everybody of the
masculine gender in Temple was an ap
plicant for the office to which Mr. Loniso
was appointed; ami, when he received his
commission and started out to find a
suitable building in which to open up
business, a boycott was established by
his former opponent*, and no one would
rent him a room. After a month's fruit
less search, Mr. Loniso gave up in dis
gust, returning his outfit to the Post
office department and leaving the town
for good.

THE I’IKDMOXT EXPOSITION.
The Piedmont exposition at Atlanta in
October next promises to equal the cot
ton exposition ot 1881. The Ciate (ity
in expending $120,000 in getting ready
for the big fair, and together with her
usual pluck and vim. which has Imhmi the
secret of her success in so many of h r
enterprises, the undertaking is bound to
be a success.
The Atlanta Constitution says:
The Piedmont exposition will equal
the Cotton exposition in every respect
and surpns in many respects. Its build
ings will be as large, and its equipment
much, more complete. Its programme is
much more attractive and will bring
larger crowds. The interest in the
Piedmont region is a hundred times
greater now than it was in 1881, and
visitors from all part* of the north will
lie here in large numbers to study tin*
resources of this section epitomized at
the exposition.
The people of Atlanta are spending one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars to
get this show ready, and every accom
odation will be offered to visitors and
exhibitors. They furnish this mone\
themselves and ask for uo outside help,
and are projecting preparations on a
scale that leaves little hope ot the re
turn of a dollar invested. All they ask
is that the towns and cities throughout
the Piedmont region tuke advantage of
the opportunity thus offered and make
such a show of their resources as will
confirm the lesson first taught by the
Cotton exposition in this city. Applica
tion from exhibitors from the and
west are already overwhelming. Every
building that can possibly be erected can
be filled with fine exhibits from beyond
the Ohio or the Potomac. The direct
ors, however, are anxious that the
Piedmont region shall come to the front
and take first place in the exposition,
which primarily is for its benefit.
It is necessary that applications for
space should be made promptly. The
directors have already provided onej
hundred and fifty thousand square feet
of space. If it is necessary to have more
buildings in order to accomodate exlfibi
tors this tact should be known ns soon as
possible. Atlanta's whole heart is in
the enterprise, and her whole p<*ople are
ready to back the directors in anything
that, is necessary to make it a complete
success. The directors from president
down are working without salary and
giving their whole time to the work.
Now, let every city, every town, every
community, every individual in the Pied
mont region that has anything that
would be interesting to show, or that
gives gjj idea of the riches of this section
Undoubtedly the richest section of the
republic, send forward at one# his ap
plication for space, stating exactly what
he proposes to show and exactly the
space he needs. The Cotton exposition
found it necessary during the last month
to decline ya many exhibits as they had
already exhibited, it being impossible to
erect new buildings in time for their ac
commodation. It is earnestly hoped
that the Piedmont exposition will not
have to curtail its show in the same way.
The directors are ready to furnish the
buildings if the exhibitors will only make
known their wants,
THE NEW SOUTH.
PiUtbai'K Alarmed at the Growth of the
Iron Industry.
Special Despatch to the Globe-Dessocrat.]
rii'T.-nn;i;. Pa*., June VI—T. K. Mc-
Knight, of this city, returned home yes
terday from an extensive tour in tin*
South. He was seut there by the Pitts
burg iron manufacturers, who hud be
come somewhat alarmed by the iron
boom in the South. He reports as fol
lows:
“The fever to build in those states is
almost unparalleled. Capitalists from
the West, tin* North and even from Eng
land are rushing in to build iron works
of every description, wherever they can
secures a foothold of available territory.
In the time I was there I heard of fifty
corporations with plans for building in
the near future. At West Nashville alone
there were thirteen, among which were
bolt works, iron furnaces and steel works.
Some time ago the town had a public
sale on lots for building purposes. In
three days it has realized $275,000 and
that town is but newly laid out. The
West Nashville Steel. Iron and Charcoal
Company is now building two furnaces,
with a capacity of 180 tons each, At
Sheffield, Ala., the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Railway Company is building a
furnace of 140 tons capacity. At Annis
ton, Ala., the Noble brothers are build
ing a furnace. At Bessemer, Ala., the I)e
Bardlebain Iron Company is building
two furnaces. At Woodstock, Ala., the
iron company of that name is also build
ing a furnace in Birmingham. The Ten
nessee Coal and Iron (Company, with a
capital of #1,000,000, is putting up four
new furnaces with a capacity of 990 tons
a day. Chattanooga is to-day congrat
ulating herself on having the first steel
rail mill in the South. It is called the
Roan Iron Company, and the mill was
put in operation last week. Louisville,
the Union Pipe Company has just erected
anew cast-iron pipe works. This con
veys but a faint idea,” continued Mr.
McKnight, “of the craze which is
possessing capitalists to invest in the
Southern iron business. The country is
literally alive, and even the natives are
forming companies to build works.”

May 21, to P. T. Barnum, of this city, as
follows:
I presume that you will have read, in
the political or special palters, of M.
Fort in-Herrmann's newly invented
cable. This cable allows to telephone to
any distance in the world; and for this
reason, as well ns on account of its
esjH*cial durability, it has ls*en adopted
by the French Government. By the

Grand Opera has been transmitted to
the King of Belgium in Brussels. lam of
the opinion that transmitting the Paris
Grand Oj*era every night to America, say
to New York, would Is* a profitable bus
iness. The cost of cable from Paris to
New York, allowing 200 persons to hear
at the same time, as distinctively as
if they was in the Paris Opera House,
would be about #15,000,000. l-et us
say that they will lie charged for hearing
one act $5 only, which will make for 200 ,
persons: #I,OOO for each net: this will
make for four acts (there are many
operas with five acts), #4.000 every
night, say #1,450,000 a year.. This
sum is highly sufficient to cover the
interests and amortization on the in
vested capital: sad as tin* i*rfonnaiiv
at the opera takes four hours the re
maining twenty hours of the day may be
used for business and other telephonic
communications between Europe mud

HAUD-HEARTED KNAPP,
He Even Squnder* the Estate of a De
ceased Brother.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Ma
con Telegraph, under date of 14th inst.,
says of R. H. Knapp,the real estate man
of Atlanta, who failed and disappeared,
a few months since:
The aged father of R. H. Knapp, of
Toronto, Canada, is in the city. He
came here to look after the estate of a
son who died in Florida several years
since. R. H. Knapp was made adminis
trator on his brother’s estate. He gave
a bond signed by Mr. Win. H. McNaught,
his father-in-law, and took charge ot
the property.
This was five years ago. The returns
were made yearly to the court in Flori
da, and the relatives of the deceased
thought the money was being lawfully
used. When the intelligence of Knapp's
crimes and flight reached Canada ids
relatives declined for some time to credit
the reports. The reports being con
firmed, steps were taken to find out what
disposition Knapp had made of his
brother’s projierty. It was ascertained
that not a dollar wus left—that all had
been squandered by It. 11. Knapp. The
estate was valued at #15,000.
Learning of this, the father decided to
visit Atlanta and investigate personally.
He got here a few days ago, and it was
not long before he found out that the
administrator’s bond which R. H. Knapp
had given was a forgery. Mr. McNaught
had never signed it.
The family of the dead son is left ]**n
niless.
The father does not know the wherea
bouts of his son. He says that he has
not been heard from since he left Atlanta,
and that it is all a mistake that he went
to Canada.
Girin be Cautious
Girls beware of transient young men.
Never suffer the address of straugers.
Recollect one good steady farmer’s boy
or industrious mechanic is worth more
than all the floating trash in the world.
The allurements of a dandy Jack, with
a gold about his neck, a walking stick
in his paw, and a brainless though
fancy skull, can never make up the loss
of a kind father's home, a mother’s
counsel and the society of brothers and
sisters. These affections last, while that
of such a man is lost at the want of the
honeymoon. Girls beware! Take heed
lest ye, fall into the“snare of the fowler.”
Too many have been already taken from
a kind father's home and a good moth
er's counsel, and made the victim of pov
erty and shame and disgrace, and then
thrown upon their own resources, to
si>end their few remaining days in grief
and sorrow, while the brainless in mak
ing its circuits around the world, bring
ing to its ignoble with all that may Is*
allured by his deceitful shares, and many
a fair one to the shame of his artful vil
lianv.
KEEP OUT OF THE PAST.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.]
Keep out of the past! For its high wa xs
Are damp with malarial gloom;
Its gardens are sere and its for rests are drear.
And everywhere moulders a tomb.
Who seeks to regain its lost pleasures
Finds only a rose turned to dust..
And its storehouse of wonderful treasures
Is covered and coated with rust.
Keep out of the past! It is haunted,
He who in its avenue gropes
Shall find there the ghost of a joy prized the
most,
And a skeleton throng of dead hopes.
In place of its beautiful rivers
Lie pools that are stagnant with slime,
And those graves gleaming white in the phos
phorous light
Cover dreams that were slain in their prime.
Keep out of the past! It is lonely
And barren and black to the view;
Its fires has grown cold and its stories are old.
Turn, turn to the present, the new!
To-day leads you up to the hill-tops
That are kissed by the radient sun ;
To-day shows no tomb—all life’s hopes are in
bloom —
And to-day holds a prize to be won,
