MATRIMONIAL DONT’S.
Don’t marry the young man
who leaves his mother to find her
way home as best she can on a
dark night, while without thot or
word of apology to the old lady,
he looks after you. One of these
days when the novelty is worn off,
he will leave you to go alone as
best you can, while he seeks his
enjoyment at the club.
Don’t marry a man who curls a
scornful lip when religion and the
Bible are spoken of, and who has
all the mistakes of Moses and the
misdeeds of Solomon on his
tongue’s end. A copy of Inger
sol’s lectures on his parlor table,
instead of the family Bible, is a
very poor guarantee of happy
family life.
Don’t marry a man whose
friends smile at each other when
his name is mentioned, and say,
“Well, we hope he will come out
all right, but he is sowing a few
wild oats now.” Remember that
what is sown before marriage, is
often reaped after marriage.

It will be very awkward for you to
be obliged to reap that crop one
of these days; and if you marry
him you will have the most of it
to gather in.
Don’t marry a man whose linen
is more spotless than his character,
whose shirtcollar is more inflexible
than his integrity, and whose neck
tie is the only immaculate thing
about him. Collars and cuffs and
neck-ties are all very well; but
they do not make up a good hus
band, tho they do very well on a
tailor’s dummy. Integrity of
character is as much more import
ant than these things as a man is
of more importance to the world
than a dude.
Subscribe for the News and be
happy.
There are few things more tan
talizing to a man than to go home
with something on his mind he
wants to scold about, and find
company there, and be obliged to
act agreeably.
Did you ever know a woman to
regret that she knew how to do ex
quisite fine needle-work or plain
sewing, to bake light, wholesome
bread, or delicious pies or cakes!
Did you ever know one who was
ashamed of her skill in pickling
and preserving, or who was un
willing to admit that she could ar
range a table, order a course din
ner, and if need be, do the cook
ing herself! No, indeed, but
many a woman has spent years in
trying to acquire the knowledge of
household affairs of which she
should have been mistress before
she was fairly in long dresses.
The mother who fails to instruct
her daughter in such branches de
frauds her of woman's best right,
the right to a knowledge of how to
make a home. Perhaps only a
home for herself, but, oh, how
pretty and pleasant it can be if
the tact, the skill, the grace of a
trained hand and eye and taste are
there to bring it into perfect sym
metry.
HOME.
Cherish the home with infinite
tenderness. You cannot love it
too much, nor give it too much
time and thot. Remember life
has nothing better to offer you;
it is the climax and crown of God’s
gifts. Make every day of life in
it rich and sweet. It will not last
long. See to it that you plant no
seeds of bitter memory; that there

will be no neglect and harshness
to haunt you in after years. Your
little ones will die and go hence
with your words and spirits plant
ed in their eternal nature. Sons
and daughters will go from you
into the great world, to live as
you have taught them, to be
strong or weak according to the
spirit you have engrafted upon
them. How you will yearn for
them whether living or dead. How
sweet or how bitter will be the
days when they prattled about
you in the home from which they
have gone forever! So live with
them and train them now that
when they are gone you and they
can look back on the past with
thankfulness and not regret.

CRUDE THOUGHTS FROn THE EDITORIAL PEN.
HONOR THY MOTHER.
Honor the dear old mother.
Time has scattered the snowy
flakes upon her brow, plowed deep
furrows on her check, but is she
not beautiful now? The lips are
thin and shrunk, but those are the
lips that have kissed away many
a hot tear from the childish cheeks
and they are the sweetest lips in
the world. The eye is dim, yet it
glows with soft radiance of holy
love that can never fade. Oh yes;
yes she is a dear old mother. The
sands of time are nearly run out,
but feeble as she is, she will go
farther and reach down lower for
you than any other on earth. You
cannot walk into a midnight where
she cannot enter, a prison where
bars will keep her out, you can
never mount a scaffold too high
for her to reach and bless you
with her deathless love. When
the world shall despise and for
sake you, when it leaves you by
the wayside to die unnoticed, the
dear old mother will gather you
in her feeble old arms and carry
you home and tell you of all your
virtues until you almost forgot
that your soul is disfigured by
vice. Love her tenderly and
cheer her declining years with
holy devotion.
All other earthly pleasures are a
mockery in comparison to the con
tentment of a loving family circle.
Other joys may last for a day, ex
---— ,J
cite our interest for a time, but
they fade away and leave us un
satisfied. While they are present
we felt not the emptiness of this
excitement, but with their vanish
ing our hearts hunger for the
blessings which home alone can
give. Even they who nave never
known what it is to have loving
hearts welcome them on the thres
hold, and loving hands minister to
their comfort, know that these are
lip’s most precious gifts, and thirst
for a draught from this cup of
peace.
The truest, best and sweetest
type of the girl of today does not
eome from the home of wealth,
she steps out from the house
where is comfort rather than lux
ury. She belongs to the great
middle class, that class which has
given us the best wifehood, which
has given helpmates to the fore
most men of our time; which
teaches its daughters the true
meaning of love; which teaches
the manners of the drawing room
and the practical life of the kitch
en as well as teaches its girls the
responsibilities of wifehood.
These girls may not ride in their
carriages, they do not wear the
most expensive gowns, they may
even help enlarge the family in
come, but these self same girls are
the great bulwark of society, not
only of the present but of the fu
ture.
