The sun shines for all while the moon look* placidly down ot: a few •poor; - couples. A cruel husband now calls his wife green fruit, because she never 1 agrees with him. Mending blue stockings with white yarn makes them a darned sight too conspicuous. Carnage riding is now tho correct thing, and people who ride their horses most take a hack sent. When the phonetic spelling comes into use it will always ho rite iu order to rite rite, to rite rite rite. Music and flowers are evangels of purity and faith, redolent of God, if we but uuiock our hemtßto their ministry.

A pair were married at New’port, R. 1,, recently, after an unbroken courtship of thirty-five years.— That is what may be called a slow match. Childhood often holds n truth with its feeble fingers, which the grasp of manhood cannot retain, which it is the pride of utmost age to recover. A woman in lowa killed her husband by sitting down on him. If all men whose wives sit down on ; them died, how quickly this world would be depopulated ? A sentimental cook says : It does not follow that two persons nre fit to marry because both are good, j Milk is good and mustard is good, | but they are not good for each oth er. - •Mrrcr he afraid of a man who t challenges you to fight a duel, lie , will feel all that you feel, and more j too. The man who rushes at you with a spade is the chap to look out for. The temperance men mean busi ness in the matter of clearing out 1 the whisky. They nre just full it, cried an excited temperance orator, i who has not been invited to speak since. Tho Indians up in the liritis' Dominions have been caught smug gling. This must he stopped if j possible, before the red man lias an | opportunity to corrupt his Chris tian white brother. Sorrows nre often like clouds, which, though black when they are passing ovet us, when they nre past become as if they were tho gar- j rnents of God, thrown off in purple i and gold along the sky. The trouble about taking a medi cine waranted to cure all diseases is that it may not know exactly what j is wanted of it, and in that case it will go fooling around in the system j trying to cure you of some disease that you have not got. ♦ —ill At a recent marriage in Hudson, N. Y., the brido was a young dam sel who had been a great flirt.- When the clergyman asked the usu al question. Who gives this damsel j away ? a young fellow present ex- j claimed, I can, but I wont. An Oswego man, after a little ex- j pcrience, truthfully and indignant- i ' ly asserts that no woman, however nervous, has a right to wake up her husband from a sound sleep to j tell him on inquiring what is the j matter, “Nothing, only I wanted to ! know if you were awake. The most insulting sort of im- t pudence is tolerated at seaside re sorts. Have you taken p hath this morning ? is a question that may be asked of a lady at such u place, ever The IT HOME AND FARM.

The same desire for the free air and sounder breath of country life which annually empties our great cities of all who can get away for a I few weeks in the summer, is lead j ing many city people to abandon ! city life altogether for the pleasures and comforts of life on the farm. — Their expectations, we are aware, are not always realized, especially if real farming must he undc'iaken ns n means of livelihood, and not a few families whe have rushed joyfully off to oie home in the ; country are glad enough to return to the conveniences and society of ibo city in a year or two. Still, the tendency to exchange city for coun try life is undoubtedly a growing one among well-to-do merchants j and professional men, when they ! are in a condition to do it without J resorting to farming for a living, i With regard to some of the reasons which promote this eountryward tendency, the St. Paul (Minn.) Pio i neer Press says: Old-fashioned farmer folk rub i their eyes in surprise at tho great ; number of intelligent well-to-do city-bred people who, in these late I years, are establishing their families i on the broad acres. The fact is | perhaps due, not so much to any \ decided rural tastes on the part of city merchants and business men, as to considerations touching the health and physical vigor of their growing families. Children run too ; much to nerves and brains in the i city. f The best blood iu the city is constantly enriched by accessions ; from the country, and heads of j families who have derived robust constitutions from early years ; spent on the farm, view with dis may the narrow chests and flabby muscles of their offspring, who at j the close of each term proudly show i the proof of high standing in the ci- ! ty schools. Two or three consecu tive generations of city life, unless under exceptionally favorable con- | ditions ol wealth and intelligent oversight in reading the young, it.- j evitably result in physical degener- j ation. Pulmonary diseases espe 1 daily seem to flower out of mental activity and highly artificial social condition : and, thanks to the gen eral diffusion of physiological and hygienic information, hundreds of j bright and capable families are now leaving the cities and seeking the ' natural antidote for this tendency in a closer alliance with the soil and the simple pleasure of pastoral life. According to I)eii| eritus, Truth lies at a bottom e* '| ( the depth •-« -* A Huccessful Sheep Farmer. About five years ago, Mr. C. C. Crosson, of this city, after having failed in the n ercantile business, ri solved to go \Ve*t, and establish himself in the sheet) business. He had hut a small sum of money to start with, and was well advanced in years, but there are few men possessed of more will than he; arid | having a large family to support, I he determined to make the best of future opportunities, lie located a ranch on the Musquiz canon, 12 j miles from Fort Davis and stocked it with a small flock nf sheep. As : ter awhile, finding that business re j quired his constant attention here i moved his family to Fort Davis. ! As. time sped on, he met with j several reverses, but none that tend ed iu the least to weaken his efforts or impair his energy. It was re ! ported that he lost nearly all of his flock in this way ; still lie did not j dispair. but, rattling against all j reverses, soon recovered from Hie effects ol the Indian raids. His stock to-day numbers 8 (XX) fine j sheep, and is being graded upwards j as rapidly as ihe laws of nature will admit. The increase of the stock this spring by lambs was about ninety-seven per cent. — i Mr. Crosson has supported his family nicely since be embarked in the sheep business, and has in the j past four years cleared $20,000. — j There is no need for comment. — ■ i Rural World. Won’t Shill} Shall}. There is an anecdote told of Wen dell Phillips which it will do cur young men no harm to remember. It is NHid that bis wife, though a confirmed invalid, has always been j an encouragement and an. inspire- 1 tion to him. When atmut to iea»«- her sick chamber to make some stirring speech she was wont to say to him, ’Now, Wendell, don’t shilly-shally.’ How much this has had to do with his incisive and never uncertain utterances it might | tic bar Ito say. The words, how- I ever, shaped themselves into a motto not to be AtTgotten. Wheth ! er you are engaged in the active | business of life or indulging in the ; prec‘ - *i«>UB luxury of making love, j ‘.Ain't shilly-shally.’ In this pecu fliarlv advanced age, when ‘things nre not what they seem when we adulterate everything from food to religion, when the word shrewdness ■ is received as a sufficiently accurate j synonym for honesty, the great! want is that uprightness and down- j rightness which means what it says f and says what it means. If you | want to succeed in life, try the vir- j tue of that law winch commands ! you not to sand your sugar and j not to shilly-shally.— Aeiv York Herald. Deformed. The great difficulty with Chris tian manhood is, that it is too i much deformed. Some are with- j out arms; they have never helped ' tin v one over the rugged places ini life. Some arc without feet; they ! have never gone an inch out of! their own way to serve others. — I Some are voiceless; they have never even by a word, encouraged any one who was cast down. Some are deaf; they have never listened to the ! ' . voice of suffering. Some are with- : out hearts; they do not know what sympathy and generous feelings are., j What an appearance a procession of such characters would mate it thev could be seen, as they are, on the streets ! What an appearance a cripple Christian makes in the light of heaven I—Golden1 — Golden Rule. Curiosities of Life, Lay your finger on y<>ur pulse ! and know that at every stroke some immortal passes to his Maker; | ! some fellow-being crosses the river ! of death, and if we will but think ! of it, we may well wonder that it j should be so long before our turn : comes.
