"AFTER HER OWN HEART.
Men Qt for husbands nro not nlwnys born
AVitti nil the graces that tholr livos nilorn ;
Some ffentle woman takes one in her care.
And leads him on with a wisdom raro ;
And while he fancies she is meek and still ,
Obeying all the dictates of his will.
She holds the fairy helm that seems to tro
By all the hidden springs' that woman know.
Judicious pettinjr , not too freely given ;
A little counsel Just to make it even ,
A little flattery , by way of dress ,
Sometimes more potent than a fond cares ;
A little skill in cookery , the way
Straight to husbiina's heart , the gr > sips SAyt
But better still , a cultivated mind ,
Patient and tender , jrracious and refined ;
And lovely woman , actingwell her part ,
May fashion husbands after her own heart.
THE Kentucky legislature has passed
a bill making gambling a felony.
THIS is a prayerful season and a woi
man has six weeks in which to meditate
upon pious thoughts and the sort of
spring bonnet , she will have.
IT turns out that Jaehne , the alder
man nfew out on bail in New York for
bribery , was elected as a "reformer. " and
was supported by the Times and Even
ing Post. There is nothing like reform.
Civil. Service Reform is a great boon
for those in office , but it is playing
merrie sheol with the bourbons who are
perishing for u stand at the public crib.
Vide Democratic harmony in Nebraska
and in McCook.
* Love is said to be the motive power' '
of the world , and yet fifty-six women \
I
out of every ninety-two will stick to 5t |
that a well-seasoned broom handle is
more reliable than moral suasion lor
immediate results.
THE "little misunderstanding" be
tween the C. B. & Q. authorities and
ihe Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin
eers has finally been satisfactorily ad
justed. The B. of L. E. is composed of
men of judgment , in the"mainand their
reasonable demands are usually complied
with.
THE chaplain of the bouse has sud
denly turned himself loose in the pursuit
of the wicked , and had it not been for
the objection of a democratic friend , his
opening prayer of Saturday morning
Jast would have been spread upon the
'record. It was u sort of stump speech
against the millionaires of the senate.
THERE seems to be a general "weep-
in' and wailitT and gnashin' ot teeth' '
"going on at democratic headquarters in
this city. Just observehow Messrs.
hompson & Wahlquist "refuse to be
'comforted because they are not' . ' reg-
[ ister and receiver elect :
The Deuiocraudoesn't pretend to know
[ how the democratic state press feel about
jit , but speaking for itself and hundreds
, of the best democrats in the Valley
jwhose opinions are worthy of high con-
'sideration , it can say that the present
'controversy between the so-callpd fac-
tions of that party in.the state is becom
ing most distasteful , ! d d nuisance ,
.and a laughing stock to the public gen-
'erally , and the sooner something is done
to restore peace and harmony in the
'democratic ranks the better for the par-
jty and all around. Now. instead of
fighting the "common enemy" they are
fighting one another.
S. II. Jones of Ashley , 111. , buys Chamber
Plain's Pain Balm by the lialf ilo/en bottles.
lie says its a sure cure for neuralgia. It is
also used for rheumatism : uul has cured many
'cases that had resisted all other treatment.
