PUBLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF RELIGION, EDUCATION, LITER A 7 URE AND GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. VOL. XIX. It is nice to be handsome bat it is a good deal handsomer to be nice, A step taken from mother is a pearl dropped into your future diadem. If your wife is the best woman in the world, tell her so; it will keep her young and lengthen her life. There never was a woman but was just aching to tell some other woman how to do up her hair. The reason why women do not propose is supposed to be due to the tact that they want to have the last word. It is worth a thousand dollars a year to have the habit of looking on the bright side of things To bring whatp’easure and con tentment we can into every life is the best way to fill our own with beauty. , There are always a good many people keep the balance of the community busy wondering how they live so well. Men can be found who are will ing to go to Africa as missionaries who are not willing to take careot a cross baby f®r the tired wife for half an hour. Learned men tell us that in Lat in the word “editor'’ means some thing “to eat,” In the United Slates its meaning is altogether different. It means to scratch a round like blazes to get something to eat. There is no way of improving a place so much as by encouraging good merchants, good schoo's and good people to settle among you, and this cannot be done unless you spend your money at home. Don’t croak. Leave that to frogs -in stagnant pools. A few croakers though are necessary in every com munity to measure the rate of pro gress at which live men are ad vancing. Notice. W. P.

Kefuse any but the genuine in the yellow package. Sold by John Hockenhull. %\\t Meril) Gkergifm. Train your eyes to rest on the brightest spots in life. Pass the darkness on the other side. One of the sunniest places on earth is the spot made sacred by the hal lowed influences :f those we love in our homes. An advertisement is to a mer chant very much what sowing seed is to a farmer. It may take a little time for the results to become ap parent, but they are sure to come, The wise farmer is not niggardly with his seed, nor the wise mer chant with his advertisement. When you hear a man sneering at the local papers you can safely bet he don’t spend his time making tnem better. They who don’t see a benefit arising to a town from its newspapers havn’t as much sense as a cove oyster, and are of about as much value to a town as a ten year-old delinquent- When you want any article of merchandise buy it of a reputable home dealer, that the profit may remain to enrich the community. Send your money abroad only for what you cannot purchase at home. Home talent, home labor, home in dustry. home capital, and home pleasures are things to be fostered, encouraged and patronized. If you are a kicker and see the shadows of failure in everything that is proposed to help the town, for heaven’s sake go into some se cluded place and kiek your own shadow on the clay bank, and give the men who are working to build up the town a chance • One long faced, hollow-eyed, whining, cap ing, chronic kicker can do more to keep away business aid capital from a town than all the drouths, short crops, chinch bugs, cyclones and blb.zards combined.

If brothers or sisters err. the world says ‘‘shun them ; thus you will show that you disapprove of the act, making an example of them.” Alas ! how many examples we have of this mode of teaching crowding the haunts of infamy to day. Once bright young lives, over whose pure lips and innocent brows mothers watched in all ten derness; but the trembling feet iook one false step and so we thrust them out of out hearts, out of our churches, and would even thrust them out of heaven.

She does not care for presents or lavish attention’; she wants those little tokens such as may he given even in a look, which will prove her husband’s love. We wish some of the good things that some men are saving up to say con cerning their wives after they dead could be said now. A man will spend §25 to buy cut flowers for his dead wife’s coffin, when i£ he had spent 25 cent for a bunch of flowers for her when she was a live, she would have fainted. Yon wait until she is dead and then some preacher to tell how good sue . was. NO-
