of raising work animals, each

county would reap thousands of dollars.
It is just as important for the farmer to
raise his work animals as to producers

Many vices bring punishment to the
guilty only, but it is the wives; moth-|
ers andWhildren of the drunkard who'
drain the cup of suffering to the dregs,
and powerless to find relief exclaim in
their anguish, is there any sorrow equal
to our sorrow! “Woe unto them” says
the prophet Isaiah, -who rise up early
in the morning that they may follow
strong drink.” “Look not upon the
wine when it is red,” says
I “for at the last it biteth like'a "serpent
stingeth like an adder.” Says St- Paul
“Nor theives, nor covetxmsmior drunk
arttfeill inherit the of Heav
en” mid there are numberless other pas
sages to which I have neither time nor
space to refer. If men had always con
fined themselves to wine as a drink, and
also to a little wine the evil would nev
er have assumed such vasCproportions
as to require the strenuous efforts that
are now being made to suppress it. But
alas it NIP firery liquid imbibed that
inflames the passions, chills the afflic
tions and dethones the reason and trans
the once quiet and happy home
into a place of torment and despair. It
is not in the in the drinking
saloon, or in the law groggery that men
usually exhibit the terrible passions pro
ducedby for there they are
brought face to face with those who if as
sailed would turn again and rend them.
Is it right for a man tos. pend what lie
has to satisfy his craving foi% liquor
while his wife and children
suffer for food and raiment necessary
to their existence V *
Sympathy and pity must be felt for
tlie weak, misguided one who confesses
that the love of drink has completely
mastered him, that he has become en -
slaved, bound hand and foot; that he is
as powerless to resist his carving for
liquor as he would he to Avard off a

For the Household.
It has been so long since Ildarkened the
doors of the Household that I thought
the sisters had all forgotten my oexist
ence when Peggy suddenly startled me
into conscionsness by asking ‘’where
Janet is, and if she is still wrestling
w’ith the cook question.” On first en
tering the Household I indeed thought
that some light would be thrown on
this important question, that would as
sist in the government or every home,
not only in our county, but to the re
motest bounds visited by the Gazette,
In fact, thought wejmight in our discus
sions even rival our Northern sisters
who have bestowed so much time and
thought on the “? rish question,” for ev
er since I can remember, “Bridget”
has been a hard subject for them to
deal with, and are not our colored Brid
gets of the present day, equally as ob
tuse? The sisters ignored the ’dark sub
ject.however for except a sharp reply
from Mrs. “11. 8. ‘-telling how she did
and how she paid her servants, no one
was enough interested to say a word
that would enlighten us, not even one
who is a “Lover of Light.” so I must

ended, so that she may know how to
cast the evil spirit out of her moping
husband.
Some of the sisters seem to think it
sentimental or ridiculous that “Sympa
thizer” should suggest a due regard for
personal appearance ainUiuppmea*. And
\\ hj should a wile, not take the saui
care to please her husband as she did
to attract a lover, and wear as many
“witfres and flowers” after she is mar
ried as she did before V A great many
women would be vastly improved by a
frequent visit to the mirror and learn
to see “themselves as others see them.”
We know that gentleman with few ex
ceptions always like to see a well dress
ed woman, one who it tastfully attired
for home as well as on the street.
1 have been trying to guess 'who
‘Sympathizer”"is, and if correctaii my
surmises, think that she is fully compe
tent to advise “Determined” for there
is no happier home than herown, with
a husband whom she has managed so
well that he finds it impossible to mope
and ill, home that‘is a model of neatness
and refinement, and notwithstanding
she daes sometimes prepare a meal with
her own hands, decora
tions are not neglected, even to the ‘wa
b|es and flowers.”

One W^^^l'oo.
I have been reading what the sympa
thizers of Beatrice have to say, which
is good as far as it goes, I think the
“case” more serious than most persons
seem aware. Silence is useful when it
is n prevent a feud or strife
■rtf a houseliM, but when continued for
days nights it a mania, and
is unbearable. When the teAlency to
pout is the result of improper training,
it is bad enough. Perhaps this husband
was indulged in childhood —coaxed or
hired to eat when lie refused through*
sullenness. On this view his wife is
pursuing the wrong course —“adding
the fire, She should not “cry
herself sick,” nor cry at all, nor allow
herself to be unhappy but she should
visit and invite company. Someone
coming in unexpectedly I have known
to turn the tide E; a morbid disposition.
“Tact” may be resorted to, as we would
in dealing witA balky horse. We had
one that would stop, and no whipping
could make him move. Someone said,
“Tuck his ear under the bridle.” We
did so and he moved l ight along.
But on the other hand, if this “moo
dishness” is the result of mental defect
it is yet more serious. It becomes the
wife’s duty to meet the fact squarely, by
telling ldm the danger persisting in
such anwfcnatural course. If she has
not the nerve to do this she should con
sult the family physician and have him
assure the husband that persisting in
such a course will land him in the insane
asylum. *,

Remarks.—We respectful%
that the above remarks on the jleal|ice
case—by a lady—are the most sensible
we have yet seen on that subject; but
there are several precincts yet to
heard from.—[Ed.
Pine Mountains, Oct. 21st, 1882.
Dear Household:—
Like a refreshing boquet of fragant
flowers, comes our weekly visitor “The
Gazette,” bringing pleasant thoughts
and sunny smiles, as well as food for
meditation. We feel benefited by the
sound logic of Talker, interested in
Lover of Light, auxins to help Deter
mined, disposed to amuse Peggy, and
would like ever so much to meet them
all in propia personae instead of in thier
nom deplumes. What a charming cir
cle it would be! We modestly suggest
an assemblage of the Household at some
time, including all even the provoking
Ned Brace. En jxtssaut what has be
come of him V If omAbject is to en
lighten and to do gooJf we must resolve
always to take everything in a good hu
mor, and not let a spirit of blame spoil
the seed we sow. “Determined” I im
agine is a young wife, and really wishes
to make sunshine in her household, but
feels her incompetency to scatter clouds.
Now without one word of censure, I
intend to take her kindly by the hand,
and give her a rose leaf from my own
heart experience, hoping she will ex
cuse the personal pronoun if it appeals
too often.
I have several times been without a
cook, and though not much accustomed
to kitchen work had to prepare meals
not only for one of the noblest, best of
husbands aud four or five little children
following round, but for * company be
sides. Determined not to let the drud
gery out do me, I invariably gnade it a
point to be conquertAnyself, so I rolled
up my sleeves with |Bb>py song on my
lip and a prayer Best Friend
might help me tqmcceed. And right
here, is the point which for the benefit
of other married sisters shall be brought
forth, not boastfully but kindly and lov-
ingly. Whenever it was for him
I loved so truly, to enter our little home,
from bis labors I did not wait to meet
him at the table with flushed*face,
smutty apron and disheveled hair, but
ran to the mirror and arranged my hair
as he liked it best, adding his favorite
.flower to my hasty coiffure and though
my face maybe plain and unattractive
' to others he thought like Sympathizer’s
i husband that the “flowers and waves’’
were always bewminyvihen accompanied
by bright happy smiles.
During the twelve years of our mar
ried life it was invariably my custom
to of
tliedoo^^^HMwmthebillto^B
! a-unny South”) so someone else had to
| ma ke the same calculations as our sister
I Sympathizer has done!
Though many summers have passed
j away since my life was suddenly blight
ed, the flowers crushed and all the fond
hopes of an exalted love silently laid
away in the hallowed churchyard, I nev
er gaze on a pure white rose without
thinking of those proud joyful moments
when twilight's shadows ushered inUm
light of our home. Mk 1
Can sister 11. S. speak ol' all this as*
“girlish sentimentalism”? Surely she
does not mean to ridicule Sympathizer's,
noble desire to look as young and fresh
as possible in the eyes of her husband,!
as well as kisses at the door ? Oh
my dear sister let us still retain the
bright, cheering sunlight of girlhood in
our hearts , even if we cannot repel the
advances of age and “silvery threads
among the gold.” Let us gather up the
sunbeams, dispensing love and blessings
everywhere and put forth every effort
not only for the happiness of our hved
ones at home but for the communm/ in
which we live, ever singing
“O cheery sunlight: every wlfere thou shinAt!
Night’s chilling shadows creep &3hamc4wvay
Within our circle may we also hourly, J
Be Clod's own lights—llluminating life’s day!”
And now if our young married sisters
will listen,%e will turn over another
heart leaf and kindly show them how
to manage so as to leave no time for
moping spells. “Life is real, life is ear
nest,” and too precious to fritter away
in bad humors and discontent. While
ministering wholesome receipts for the
family table, permit us to add one more
to the list.
HOW TO MANAGE A MOVING HUSBAND.
Pirst begin the day with family pray
er. A few verses and the Lord's prayer
in concert will answer until you: lnis
can venture farther, Meet
antly at dinner and let him you
have especially prepared what you
think he likes best, and he must not
laugh if your fripd chicken is not cut
up in the most artistic manner, the bis|
cindifferent from aunt Nancy’s ami
the steak H trifle too brown! If be is
not a Brute he will say it is splendid,
#Hd his little wife is a connoisseur in the
kitchen as well as on her lace work and
embroidery. Like Madame Recamier
when her dishes grew scant make your
self so fascinating he will forget to no
tice any fault in wluft is placed before
him. In the evening after tea, if the
mope begins to appear sit down at the
piano and sing either a comic song, or
the same he used to compliment in the
days of of courtship. If this does not
answer read him one of Bill Arp’s let
ters or Mark Twain’s description of
Christopher Columbus' cliirograpliy. This
management will succeed so well, he
declare no other woman is such a fin*
elocutionist as Ids wife, or one half so
clever in any respect. Do not tattle
but talk of pleasant books and the kinn
ness of your neighbors.
When the Sabbath rolls round,take him
with you to Church and Sabbath School
§nd he will soon learn to be useful. In
boon after reading together 1
tian’s Secret of a Happy Life” induce
him to encomjgge the Boys, Anti Smok
ing Inhibition Club. After devoting
the remainder of his time to prompt
active business,visiting the sick, and di
pensing charities, not one golden mo
ment will be left for moping. If this
management should prove a failure then
no more shall the Household Circle be
troubled by
Trustful.
For the Household.
W ives-Husbands.
When wives disagree, who shall decide
What remedy to apply when a husband“mopes?’
’Tis better to leave him alone In his pride
Than try to soothe him with “fussy” jokes
Or matrimonial storms, to clear the sun
I Of the Household from clouds that drift t
Across Its face; for when clouds do come,
(As come they will) with scarcely a rift
1 o let in sunshine, the womans smUe,
Her cheerful face and loving eye
Beaming In the Household all the while,
Will do more to soothe him, If she will try
Than all the scolding she can do.
We do not add flame to put out lire,
But water bring, and quickly too
If to quench its burning is our desire.
“Oh won an! in our hours of ease,
Uncertain, coy, and hard to please,
And variable as the shade
By the light quivering aspen made;
VV hen pain ana anguish wring the brow
A ministering angel thou.”— Scott.
How be an angel, and a scold ?
Both In one, I should like to be told;
Like oil and water, they will not mix;
Wives should not play such naughty tricks
As to scold a poor heart-weary man
Who is trying to do the best he can
To make both ends meet, In a worldly way;
In times like this, ’tis no child’s play
To fill the house and All the barn,
With food to cheer, and clothing warm
lor wife and babes. If anguish wring his brow
Be not a Zantlppe, but an “angel thou.”
That brow of care and silent tongue
Conceals what would your heart have wrung
Oftiines; what 0 you seemed hut a spell o
“mopes”
Was the effect, of grief o’er blasted l apes
plans well laid, but come to grief.
Would telling you have brought relief ?
No ! ’twould but have added strain to strain,
His burden would sttill have been the same
With added weigh* to know that you
Must carry your own, with part of his too.
”Tis true that husband and wile are one
gfn a certain sense; do you say, all or none ?
I say, that all his joys the wife should share,
But let him, alone, some troubles bear,
As she, hor household cares, should keep
Though oft they make her eyes to weep;
’Twill not lighten her load, to pour In his ear,
Or make her burdens less easy to bear,
By knowing that he is broken of rest
In thinking of troubles which she could bear best
If kept to herself; or, reifledy without his aid.
My dear little woman! do not bo afraid
To shoulder responsibilities and act for yourself
As queen <4 the Household; beauty nor wealth
Can ever win from you the husband’s affections,
If you but follow Sister Peggy's directions
In last week’s paper; be not without hope,
if youy‘hubby” mopes.“way just let him mope.’i
