The Country Editor's Wife
You have heard of the country editor’s
.ijf e
With its care and worry and doubt.
Of the shadby-genteel of his seedy clothes,
Of his diamond pins and his calm repose,
His happiness, money and gout.
But., say, have you heard of the editor’s
wife;
Of that silent co-partner, who,
With a blending of sentiment, beauty and
skill,
With a temperate knowledge, tact and
will,
The whole of his labor can do?
It is She who embroiders the garments
Worn by the editor’s chair.
Now dressed up with cushions, soft and
neat.
And trimmed up with tidies and ribbons
sweet
W hieh once was so poor and bare.
If the editor’s, sick, or away or behind:
In need of more hands and more haste
She directs his wrappers so they can be
read,
And willingly makes his paste.
She reads the magazines, papers and
books.
As the cradle she sofdy rocks.
While the editor sits in his easy chair
With ins fingers thrust in his tangled
hair,
She quietly mends his socks.
Then she roads the ads with the editor.
Just to find out what each has paid.
But the column ad o£ the jeweller there,”
So he says, “the harness and human
halt,
Must be taken out in trade.”
So she wears the dresses he gets for ada,
And rattles his sewing machine:
She uses the butter and eggs and things
The country subscriber 00 faithfully
brings,
With a cheerfulness seldom seen.
But her life, so full of many delights.
Has one dark cloud, alas!
Though she shares his tickets to the
circus and play,
To lectures and negro minstrels
She can’t use his railroad pass!
When time hangs heavy on his hand
She beguiles his hours away
With joke and laughter, music and song.
And pleasant fidk, and thus ripples
The whole of each leisure day.
Oh! who would exenange this
content,
This simple and trusting life,
For that of a queen of royal birth?
For the happiest woman in all the earth
Is the country editor’s wife.
—Exchange.
Talk np your town and its advantages.
Will Olements, of Arlington was
last Friday on business.
r Mr. S. E. Bridges, of Millford, was
town on business last Saturday.
What if it is midnight? Every
of the clock brings morning nearer.
Within the last thirty days the Mosi-
Ton has added over forty new names to
its subscription list. That’s not so
worse.
Calhoun comity’s matrimonial bells
are ringing very doleful those days,
at ieast they seem so to this scribe.
“Here, my dear,” said the far-sighted
husband, “put this money in the stock¬
ing for a rainy day.” So she bought a
pair, and they really looked lovely on
the Square last Saturday when the wind
blew.
__
Strasge things happen in tho news
paper business sometimes. For instance
we dunned a man this week for subscrip¬
tion, and lie paid it without saying a
word, not oven to tell Us to discontinue
his paper.
_
Author: “What do you think of my
new book?” Friend: “It certainly can-
tains much food for thought.” Author:
“Bo you really think so?” Friend:
“l’e-; but it seems to have peen wretch¬
edly cooked.”
The kodak fiend may be held to ridi¬
cule, but he has at least one advantage
over other people. He can express his
own views upon any subject without
being called down. He may also send
them by freight.
“It is funny how marriage will change
a man,” said Fogg, the other day.
“There is Mobster, for example. Before
he was married a glance of May Tain-
tor would iutoxicate him, so he used to
say. Now when be comes home late at
night and meets Mrs. M ouster, nee
Taintor, the sight of her actually sobers
him.”
A young philosopher-was employed iu
oue of our stores at a salary of $3.50 a
week. He told his employer oue moru-
jug that he was about to leave, having
got a better place. “A better place?”
echoed his employer; “what wages are
you to get?” “Three dollars a week.”
“But that is not so much as you get
here.” “No,” said the boy; “but then
its better to do less and not get so much
than to do more and not get enough.
I>oa<h of A Little Girl.
“buffer little children to come unto
me and lot-hid them not tor such is
thu Kingdom of heaven.” These
were the words of our Blessed
Savior.
Beath is no respeetor of person,
’ 1 nsilion, of hour or age. Ire
Knows no difference between the
king and the peasant, the scepter of
the one is no more to him than the
plow-handles of the other, He
touches his dreamless slumbers to
the eveiids of both and they fall
asleep, tho one on his throne and
tne other by his furrow, Ilis foot¬
prints are in every path. Ilis cold
grasp has been on the latch-string of
the door of almost every home.
He enters sometimes and with his
cold hands he takes away the hus¬
band and father, and again it is but
to lay claim lo the wife and mother,
and then sometimes to arrest the
young man or young lady just as
they enter on the arena of life.
When we hear of these or any of
bis works we can but ask, why it is
thus?
But more cruel, though just, does
he seotn in his demands when
he enters the house of a happy
father and mother; happy in their
duty as citizen and wife, happy in
their duty as neighbor and friend
and doubly happy hi the love they
bear for their children. I say more
cruel does he seem in his demands
when he enters such a homo and
with his icy fingers sprinkles the
cold dew of death on the brow of
one in whom a great part of a de-
voted father and mother’s earthly
affections and desires are centered.
When such is the case we involun¬
tary ask the question; “Death! oh,
death! why so hard in your de¬
mands?”
Such were the thoughts of our
minds when we were told of the
death of little Miss Rochelle Knight-
oii, the five-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Knighton, of Randolph,
e-ho passed away from this earth on
Wednesday, Jan. 12th No one
km;|Av^t!e Rochelle but to love.
No one over came in contact with
her sweet and amiable disposition
but. who admired her
To her bereaved father and mother
we would say call her not back for
we know she is at rest, vvhere she
will not have to bear the stife aud
sorrow of this world. Bo be not
discouraged but take consolation in
the fact that God decth all things
y, 0
well and i with . ; single . , Duly ,
an eye to
His glory spend the rest of the bat-
tie of life and at the end of which
you will receive your eternal reward,
then tho misteries of this earth will
be understood, and where ithe seper-
aiions from your loved ones you
never suffer. A Friexd.

“The Syracuse Post” says that a girl
baby was recently brought to a clergy¬
man of that city to be baptised. The
latter asked the name of t lie baby.
“Binah M,,” the father responded.
“But what does the ‘M. ’ stand for?”
interrogated the minister.
“Weil I do not know yet: it ail de¬
pends upon how she turns out.”
“How she turns out? Why, I do not
understand you,” said the domiuis.
“Oh, if she turns out nice and sweet
and handy about tiie house, like her
mother, I shall call her Binah May.
But if she has a fiery temper and dis¬
plays a bombshell disposition. like
mine, I shall caliber Binah Might.
