but sister 11. S. rather unfeelingly

by this
deniably prove that the flowery and the
practical may not only travel together
very amicably in every day life, but
that they are really essential to each
other.
We have visited homes where there
was no sentiment. The wife in a faded
loose wrapper and unsmoothed locks
that had been plaited several days sat
in a corner bending over her work. Her
husband entered the room but she did
not tliink it necessary to give him a
pleasant greeting, and instead of the
smiles and dowers was a mop of snuff!
This disgusting habit soon brought on
a fondness for morphine. Oli, for a lit
tle more of the poetical, a few more
waves and white rose buds!
Mrs. H. b. asks if the white roses
were always at hand? Yes, my sister

realms above as well as of UitSEBBI
gone before, we could never passtl!®j
by without appropriating their
ness for his sake whom we reverent®
next to the Creator of those lovely flow
ers. Far be it from our purpose
a vain and frivolous lov ™f
personal adornment. We are practi
cal enough to admire the ornament of
a meek and lowly spirit far lhore than
gold or costly robes, and this we have
tried to bring into practice as well as
theory in our daily life. Therefore we
fully endorse Mrs. H. S.’s sensible view
of a wife’s higher duty husband
in being the sharer of his
sorrows, and the faithful
children. With ou^^®®!ni(]s^®
tli^9
in our hIW
circle was something bright to look for
ward to. God grant that the suppres
sion of the liquor traffic in our land
may enable all wives and children to
experience the same happi
ness!
We believe all labor is honorable and
thr%gj} the veil of a truly poetical n;g
ture gleams with anew exalted light?
because it sees God in all things. If
H. S. should take her spy glass
some dark rainy day and look out from
her warm fireside (where
she is surrounded by ease and elegance
intent ui a showy pattern of rick-rack )
far aww toward the mountain she
will see Trustful bearing a great heavy
burden up the steepascent toiling all
alone for those dependent on her, and
crossing rugged mountain Seps from
which slippered feet would recoil
Through storm, sunshine,
through sleet snd snow with a love that
never falters, she has thus many years
battled with the realities of life, to earn
a livelihood for the fatherless children
entrusted by Providence to her keeping.
Every talent is brought forth, every ac
complishment of brighter days to aid in
this great stajggle for a living. Not
one is foldetffn a napkin and hidden
away. If this is not practical according
to Webster’s definition of the word
what be? We might give a cal
culation of liow much we have earned
by our own hands but forbear, and on
ly allude to it in self defense.
It is true for some purpose a silvery
thread of ideality is woven in our com
position, but this very feature casts a
radiant glow over the rugged pathway
making it beautiful and bright even on
the darkest day. And lest other moth
ers too may think we neglect our chil
dren we will mention that while inha
ling the flowers we always set apart
half an hour for reading to them after
tea, no matter what .other business is
on hand, thus personally superintending
their education, and encouraging in
them a love of knowledge. We deeply
feel the responsibility of having to act
the part of both father and mother to
ward them, and wish to gather all the
light on this subject that may illumi
nate the columns of the Household. We
have read Our Children and all other
works within our reach that bear on the
subject and yet often feel discouraged
lest the seed we sow bear notabundant
fruit. But duty calls us from the warm
fireside where of course we would pre
fer to linger, and while our other sis
ters are engaged in beautifying their
homes, deftly plying the needle on can
vas and plaslier „we must take up our
burden and away, away over the dark
ravines in search of those pursuits that
may contribute to the support of life.
Never a moment is allowed to waste,so
we bid the sisters a long good bye as we
shall be too busy to call again unless
to see the sick ones of the circle. As
we take up our cross to shield us from
the chilling blast, you will hear this
song faintly echoed down the mountain
side till it reaches the warm cosy fire
side of the Household band:
•‘Trusting when my sky is bright,
Trusting when tlfe clouds descend,
Trusting in the gloom of night,
Simply trusting to the end.”

bisters, did any of you ever observe a
similarity of condition between the
moon and woman? It is evident that
each one was created a help meet for the
ruler of the household to which she
belongs—a help meet to light up that
household, to light it up with borrowed
light; and in order to do this it is neces
sar\ for them to exert the powers that
be—tlie powers created in them for this
purpose.
Now, while we know that the moon
assists the sun in lighting up the house
hold of tie Heavenly bodies, and is a
thing of beauty” forever to every eye,
as to the nature ojjlier powers, and her
manner of exerting them so as to ena
ble her to shine, we know as little as we
doof the nature of # the light that she
|Amws from the sun, and reflects so
and brilliantly But with

of her powers is rec-
by every beholder, as well, also,
ras her manner of exerting them, and
the nature of the light she reflects; and
her light, like the pm* lful rays of ‘-the

feltby every one under its influence —so
seen and felt that all the conscious ones

hearts bless light. If, like

of my views, we have only
|®®ke Mary Washington for an exarn
piJJpßy
source and exerting her powers to shin*
she lighted up the way other son George
to the “Presidential chair,” where he
was made ruler of a nation, the
position in the of the votes of
men to place any one. Yes, by exerting
powers, this mother let her light so
Wine that up in her son with
so much brilliancv that it not only illu
minated the government of which he
was ruler, but extended to the utter
most portions of the earth and excited
the of the whole world.
Other lights, though not so brilliant
perhaps, blazed up in the same
way, and through the exertion of the
powers that be in woman, will continue
to blaze until the end of time—blaze in
low places, as well as high, in the val
leys as well as on the mountains. The
great trouble is that there are not
enough of these shining mothers and
blazing sons over the land, and there is
dan of the of the-hui%an
fami®freing flooded with gloom. Sis
ters, can’t you see this? And can’t yo*
see, too, tliat the only remedy for it i *
increased exertion of the powers that M
in woman?—the powers that be in her
to so mould the minds and “stamp the
characters” of her children as to make
of them Christian men and vAnwn, for
where there are Christian men anl wo
men there is light. •
Then since woman was created to as
sist in lighting up the household dl the
human family, and given powers for
this purpose, it is the duty of all tlie
women to exert the powers that be in
them to light up their homes, churches,
communities, and everywhere else that
woman can shine or send a blaze to
shine for Her, even to the Presidential
chair, as did the mother of George Wash
ington.
Home is the first place for a woman
to light up, and as t®*e can be no lighF
in our homes without health for the
members, it is the duty of every woman
of family to exert the powers to prevent
causes for diseases, both mental and
physical. But should a member become
afflicted with a disease of any kind, it is
then her duty to learn the cause of that
disease and remove iiA or have it re
moved as early as popible, for until the
cause is removed there is no permanent
cure for the disease; and th£ nature of
the cause sometimes suggests the na
ture of the treatment for its cure; so
so there is no use exerting our powers
to light up a way for our sister “Deter
mined,” to manage a husband, when
she is seeking light upon a case of
mopes; and unless we could leant and
remove the cause for those “moping
spells,” we can do nothing to light up
the home of our sister, more than to
extend to her our sympathy. The only
member of our household having any
experience with mopes, says, “I just let
him mope,’’ and someone else, a “con
scious swain,” perhaps, echoes, “let
him mope.” But, sisters, when our
loved ones have “chills.” shall we ay,
“let him shake;” or when they have fe
ver say, “let them burn ?” ♦hen wh y.
ay “let them mope V® Why not exert
our powers to learn®M remove the
cause of this dreadfiirdisease darkening
homes, and appljpK* administer reme
dies for its curapTnd have the bright
smiles and lqxig ‘words of our dear
ones to lighjjpuar homes and hearts ? I
trust troubled sister has De
termine®D exert her powers to this ef
fect, a®fwill so succeed as to have
liglit®oughin her own home anAome
toj®re for this Household for the
h®ks of others. And I don’t know
at it would be amiss here, for while
Teggy was exerting her powers to light
up her place, she accidentally removed
the cause that had kept one of the sis
ters silent for weeks; and silence, it
seems is one of the worst symptoms of
mopes.
Now, if all of/hr silent members are
having “moping spells,” and the cause
could be removed, I think we would ere
Ipng the Ho^^
light up your places. And here J wil
say to Janet that though, like the other
sisters, she could tell you just exactly
how to manage a husband, “one wlqj
is a Lover of Light,” lias had as little
experience with cooks as with the
mopes, and having learned nothing
from observation had no light to throw’
on “the cook question.” m
To “Mrs. 11. S.” the sister desii'ipgj®

”If I am to judge by the way you
the powers that be in you to light up!
your tal#, your home, this Household,
and blazes lo shine for you when you can
no longer, in this world, shine for yourself,
I don’t we have ever met,” for
while exerting their powers to keep our
Household Department lighted up, “Many
daughters have done virtuously, but
thou exeellest them all,” and deserve
a better reward.
And to all the sisters, as well as the
brothers, I will kindly say, “Exert the
powers that be,’’ and “Let Acre be
light,” a flood of light.

Dear Sisters of the Household Will
you not allow me to join you? *am a
strange! to you all in the social require
ments qp the word, but let us 1 clasp
hands in the “Household and be friends
through the medium of the Gazette. I
have noticed with much interest the
many questions you have discussed, but
one of peculiar concern to me is,
‘How to manage a moping husband,”
although lam not, as yet blessed(?) with
one of any kind. 1 will have td tell
you a little secret now to keep you from
wondering why such a question
should engage mv attention at all. Well
my wedding day is not for .distant. I
would like some hints in regArLto the
management of husbands
You see I want tojbegin rigid, the way
to do that is to discuss the subject fully,
freely ,glean some suggestions from the
advice which I hope you all will offer.
I like what Trustful suggests thdßgh
M marijed friend says some husbands
require a stronger argument than a
flower anda smile to make them quit
moping, and that every inducement
some wives could offer,would failto car
ry Lieges to church. Still I would not
undervalue Trustfuls’ suggestions as re
gards of course it is
pleasanter for a Husband to find a “flow
er and a smile’’ than it is to find a “soot
spot and a frown,[and I intend t* treas
ure that bit of advice. Please let me
hear from some of you who have
governed husbands for I am anxious to
begin right. With many good wishes for
for the household and its members. —I

sensible enough to accept this explana

Mr. Editor.
I must thank you for publishing my
letter previous to this, but I fear it
could have been of but little interest to
the Household, for my education is lim
ited aud I have'but little experience
in literary efforts. In two hours after
my letter was mailed I sorelyjregretted
sending it although it was my utmost
desire to give some expression to the
trouble which I felt a delicacy in nam
ng to any one. Not even my dearest
and nearest friend, knew the contents
of thatjletter. On hastening to peruse
the Gazettee, I very soon beheld the
lines I had written in such precipitan
cy. I cannot comply with the request
to send my name, as it would of course
expose my home affairs which I am sure
you will agree is an unbecoming thing
for a lady to do. I think I will be bet
ter able to bear my troubles in silence
than I could be, were they exposed. I
delight in nothing more than in readiug
the llousehohLpolumns; they while a
way many a s<9 hour for me. A word
to the sister that signs herself “Trust
Permit me to congratulate you
on your letter. I think it is as good as
I ever read. But while I admire the
sentiment, I cannot approve of the
proposition to the wife to take the same
care tojplease a husband asfdie’didto’at
Jract a lover. It is not natural. Of
course neatness becomes every' lady,
but I w r ell know that flowers and waved
hair will not prove half so attractive to
some husbands as the pleasures of the
bar-room. Please give me your advice
as to how to manage a husband that is
so cross and ill that lte will not be en
tertained. I have tried making a nice
toilet and smiling; have read Bill Arp’s
letters anfl anecdotes until my patience
has become exhausted. Nothing I can
do or read seems to please him half so
muchis going up town. Well I have
got on to the subject of drinking, and
for fear I become a nuisance to the
sisters, I wjp close by asking an inter
