Cm,
They have only been in that tome a few
months or a few years. Then there are
tboe who will after awhile set up for
themselves a home, and it in right that I
fcfcouid speak out upon these themes.
My tiri-t counsel to you is, have God in
your new home, if it be a new home, and
let him who was a guest at ISetbarit be in
your bouseiioid. Jet the divine blessing
drop upon your every boie and plan and
expectation. Those young people who le
g n with God end with heaven. Have on
your riphr hand the engagement ring of
the divine affection. If one of you be a
Christian, let that one take the li.ble and
read a few verses in the evening time, and
then kneel down and commend yourselves
to him ho setteth the solitary in families.
I want to til you that the destryiijg an
gel parses by without touching or enter
ing the doorpost sprinkled with blood of
the everlasting covenant. Why is it that
in some families they never get along and
in other? they always get along well? I
have watched such cases aud have come
to a conclusion. In the first instance
nothing seemed to go pleasantly, and af
ter awhile there came a devastation, do
mestic ds.ister, or estrangement. Why?
They started wrong. In the other case,
although there were hardships and trials
and some things that had to le explained,
still things went on pleasantly until the
very last. Why? They started Tight.
My second advice to you in your home
is to exercise to the very lust possibility of
your nuyire the law of forbears m-e. 1'ray
ers in the household will not make up for
everything. Some of the best people in
the world are the hardest to get along
with. There are people who stand up in
prayer nuttings and pray like angels who
at house are uncompromising aud cranky.
You may not have everything just as you
want it. Sometimes it will be the duty
of the husband and sometimes of the wife
to yield, but both stand punctiliously on
your rights, ami you will have a Water
loo with do Hincher coming up at night
fall to deide the conflict.
Acknowledge W ronjr.
Never be ashamed to apologize when
yon have done wrong in domestic affairs.
Let that be a law of your household. The
best thing I ever beard of my grandfather,
whom I never saw, a this: That once,
having unrighteously rebuked one of bis
children, be himself having lost his pa
tience and perhaps having been misin
formed of the child's doings, found out
his mistake, and in the evening of the
same day gathered all his family together
and said: "Now. I have one explanation
to make snd one thing to say.' Thomas,
this morning I rebuked you very unfairly.
1 am very sorry for it. I rebuked you in
the presence of the wio!e family, and now
I ask your forgiveness in their presence."
It must have taken some courage to do
I'jnt. It was right, was it not? Never be
ashamed to apo.oglze for domestic inaccu
racy. Kind out the points, what are Hie
weak points, ifl msiy call them so, of your
companion and then stand aloof from
them. Io not carry the fire of your tem
per too ear the gunpowder. If the wife
be easily fretted by disorder in the house
hold, let the husband be careful w here he
throws his slippers. If the husband come
home from the store with his patience ex
hausted, do not let the wife unnecessarily
cross his temper, but both stand up for
your rights, and I will promise the ever
lasting sound of the war whoop. Your life
will be spent in making up, and marriage
will be to you au unmitigated curse. Cow
pcr said:
The kindest and the happiest pair
Will find occasion to forbear
And something, every day they live,
To pity and perhaps forgive.
I advise aiso that you make your chief
pleasure circle around about that home.
It is unfortunate when it is otherwise. If
the hirsband sjiend the most of bis nights
a way from home, of choice and not of ne
cessity, he is not the head of the house,
bold: he is oniy tjie cashier. If the wife
throw the cares of the household into the
servant's lap anil then snnd five nights
of the week st the opera or theater, she
may clothe her children w ith satins and
aces and ribbons that would confound a
French milliner, but they are orphans. It
la sad when a child has no one to ssy its
prayers to because mother has gone off to
the evening entertainment! In India they
bring children and throw them to the
crocodiles, and it seems very cruel, but
the jaws of social dissipation are swallow
ing down more little children to-!;iy m
nil the monsters thnt ever crawled ti in
the banks of the Ganges;
Godless I- (resides.
I have seen the sorrow of a godless
mother on the death of a child she hsd
iieglccted. It was not so much grief that
she felt from the fact that the child was
dead as the fact that she had uegle ted it.
She snid, "If I had only watched over and
csred for the child. I know God would sot
base taken it." The tears came not. It
was a dry, blistering tempest a scorch
ing simoon of the desert. When she wrung
her hands, it seemed as if she would twist
her fingers from their sockets; when he
se'zed her hair, it seemed as if she hud in
wild terror grasped a coiling serpent with
her right bund. No tears! Comrades of
the little one came in and wept over the
colBn, neighbors came in, and the mo
ment they saw the still face of the child
the shower broke. No tears for her. God
gives tears as the summer rain to the
parched soul, but in II the universe tie
driest and hottest, the most scorching and
consuming thing is mother's heart if she
has neglected her child, when once it is
dead. God may forgive hrr. but she will
never forgive herself. The memory will
sink the eyes deccr Into the sockets and
pinch the fnce aud whiten the hair and
est up the heart with vultures that will
not be satisfied, forever plunging deeper
their iron beaks. Oh, yoa wanderers from
your home, go back to your duty! The
brightest flowers in a!) the earth are those
which grow in the garden of a Christian
household, clambering over the porch of a
Christian home.
I advise you also to cultivate tympsthy
of occupation. Sir James Mcintosh, one
of the most eminent and elegant men that
ever lived, while standing at the very
height of hi eminence, Mid to a great
company of scholars, "My wife made me."
The wife ought to be the idvising partner
in every Arm. 8be ought to be interested
in. all (be loosea aad gain of (boo and
tort. Eh oagfct to bar a right she baa

or moral ruin. There may be some things
which he does not wish to trouble his witt
wuh, but if he dare not tf 11 her he ia on
the road to d.scomtiture. On the other
hand, the husband ought to be sympa
thetic with the wile's occupation. It is
no easy thing to keep house. Many a wom
an who could have endured nmrtyrdom
as well as Margartst. the Scotch g.rL has
actually been worn out by bouse ujaaage
luellt. Kitchen Martyrs.
There are l,0"O martyrs of the titcheu.
It is very a,nnoying after the vexations of
the day around the stove or the register or
the table, or in the nursery or parlor to
have the husband say: "You know noth
ing about troubie. You aught to be in
the store half an hour." Sympathy of
occupation! If the husband's work cover
him w.ta the soot of the furnace, or the
odnrs of leather, or soap factories, let not
the wife be easily disgusted at the le
gr.iuet) bandx or unsavory aroma. Your
gaits are one, your interests are one, your
losses are one. Lay hold of the work of
life with both hands. Tour hands to fight
the battles: four eyes to watch for the
danger: four sle uliters ou which to carry
the trials. It is a very sad thing when the
painter has a w ife w ho docs not like pic
tures. It is a very s.id thing for a pianist
when she has a husband who d'X-s not like
Uiiis.c It is a wry sad thing w hcu a wife
is not suited unless her husband has what
is called a "genteel business." So far as I
understated a "genteel business," it is
something to which a limn goes at 10
o'ebx k in the morning aud from which
be comes leyne at li or II o'chnk in the af
ternoon and gets a huge amount of money
for doing nothing. That is, I believe, a
"genteel bui:ie," and there has been
many a wife w ho has made the mistake of
not being sat sfied until the husband has
given up the tanning of the hides, or the
turning of the I, ulster, or the building
of the walls and put himself iu crdes
w here be has nothing to 'do but smoke
cigars and drink w ine and get himself in
to habits that upset him. going down in
the maelstrom, taking his wife and chil
dren with him. There are a good many
traius running from earth to destruction.
They start ail hour of the day and all
hours of the night. There are the freight
trains; they go very slowly 4'nd very heav
ily, and there are the accommodation
trains going on toward (b sirintioii. and
they stop very often and let a man g'-t out
when he wants to. Hut genteel idleness
is au express tnTi). Satan is the stoker,
and death is the engineer, and, though
one may come out in front of it and swing
the red Hug of "danger" or the lantern of
God's word, it makes just one shot into
Verditir.n, coming down the embankment
with a shout and a wail and a shriek
crash! crash! There are two classes of
people sure of dcslniifion first, those
who have nothing to do: eismlly. those
who have something to do, but who are
too lazy or too proud to do it.
I have otic more word of advice to give
to those who would have a happy home,
and Unit is, let love preside in it. When
your behavior in the domestic circle be
come a mere matter of calculation, when
the caress you give is merely the result of
deliberate study of the position you oc
cupy, happiness lies stark dead on the
hearthstone. When the hiislmiid's position
as head of the household is maintained
by loudness of voi c. by strength of arm,
by fire of temper, the republic of don:es
tic bliss has become a despotis atjho t
neither Gd nor nan will abide. (, ye
who promised to love each other st the
altar, how dare you commit perjury? Let
no shadow of suspicion come on your af
fection. It is easier to kill, that fluwer
than it is to make it Eve again. The Mast
from hi il that puts out that light leaves
you in the blackness of darkness forever,
fotnetfiinif Lacking.
Let us build ou the center of the parlor
floor a throne to happiness: let ali the
guesis. when come in, bring their flow-era
and pearls and diamonds, and throw them
on this pyiaoiid. and let it be a throne,
and then let happiness, the queen, tte unt
the throne, and we withstand around,
and. all chabces lifted, we will say,
"Irink. O queen; live forever!" Hut the
guest depart, the flutes are breathless, the
last clash of the impatient hoofs is heard
in the diftance, and the twain of the
household come back to see the queen of
happiness on the throne amid the parlor
floor. Kut, alas, us they coaie lack, the
flowers have faded, the sweet odors have
Itecome the smell of a churnei house, and
instead of the queen of happiness there
sits there the gaunt form of anguish, with
bitten lip and sunken eye and ashes in her
hair. The romp of tbe dancers who have
left seems rumbling yet, like jarring thun
ders that quake the floor and rattle tbe
glasses of the feast rim to rim. The spill
ed wine on the floor turns into blood. The
wreaths of plush have become wriggling
reptiles. Terrors catch tangled In the
canopy that overhangs the couch. A
strong gust of wind comes through (he ball
and the drawing room mid the bed cham
ber, in which all the lights go out. And
from thlip of the wine beakers come the
words. "Happiness is not iu UxV And the
arches respond, "It is not in us!" And
the silenced instruments of music, thrum
med on by invis.bie fingers, answer, "Hap
piness Is not in us!" And the frozen lips
of anguish break open, and, seated ou the
throne of wilted fljwers, she strikes her
liony hands together and groans, "it is
not in me!"
That very night a clerk with a salary of
$l,i00 s year only ?1,MK goes to his
borne, set up three months ago, just after
the marriage day. Love meets him at the
door, love su with him at the table, love
talks over the work of the day, love lakes
down the Bible aud reads of him who
came our souls to save, and they kueeL
and while they are kneeling, right in that
plain room on the plain carpet, the atigelt
of God build a throne not out of flowers
that perish and fade away, but out of gsr
lands of heaven, wreath on top of wreath,
amaranth on aninrsnth, until the throne
Is done. Then the harps of God sounded,
and suddenly there appeared one who
mounted the throne with eye so bright
and brow so fuir that the twain knew it
was Christ. an lore. And they knelt at
the foot of the throne, and, putting one
hand on each bead, she blessed fhetn nd
said, "Happiness Is with me!" And that
throne of celestial bloom withered not
with the passing rears, and tbe queen left
not the throne till one day the married
pair felt stricken in yesrs felt themselves
called away and knew not which way to
go, and the queen bounded from tbe
throne and said, "Follow me, and I wtD
ahow you the way op to the realm of ever
lasting love." And so ther vest up to
sing songs of lore and walk oa pavementa
of love, and to lire together Is manaioat
of lore, and to rejoict fertrtr to the troth
that God lb lore.

ICE-WATER 18 HARMFUL.
Water at Temperature of About 00
liegree J About Ktclit.
We are a nation of Ice-water drink
ers. It is said that more he-water is
taken as a U-verage In tbe I'uited
States in one year than in all the re-t
of the world iu ten. This fact is lu
part due to the facility with which !
can be obtained and the comparatively
low price at which It is sold-yet our
national craving for Ice-water cannot
be altogether the result of lu cheap
ness, for we find that in Norway and
Sweden aud in the high regions of In
dia, South America and Switzerland
ice-water as a leverage ia almost un
known. Hut, Is the drinking, of so
much Ice-water healthful?
Iir. William A. Hammond, the fa
mous surgeon, aajs most decidedly that
It Is not. So far as tue appetite for b e
water is concerned, says b", it certain
ly is the result of education. If -he
proclivity were an innocent one there
would not Ik- much to say against It,
but that it is extremely harmful, l'r.
Hammond declares, Is pot a matter tt.r
doubt. He then goes ou to assert that
"Iu the tirst place, II may cause sudden
death, especially if Indul'ud In when
the body is overheated. A very !m
Hirtaul part of the nervous system,
called the solar plexus, is situated im
mediately behind the stomach; a big
drink of Ice water reduces the tempera
ture of the plexus so suddenly that the
action of the heart is greatly lessened
siinictiuies so j,rfi at as to cause In
stant death. It is quite common for
persons to feel faint aud to become
pale Immediately after drinking a glass
of Ice-water. They attribute tlics?
effects to heat or over-excrtioii, or to
some other cause which has nothing to
do with the result, not knowing that
they have so weakened the heart as to
prevent ils sending a due amount of
blood to Hie lungs and brain. H sid-s
being one of the most prolific causes of
neuralgic affections, very cold drinks
Injure the U-ctb. The effect upon the
stomach of ice-water ilriiiklu-, is very
Injurious. As soon ns the eohl liquid
reaches this organ, the blood vcs-cIb,
w hich are enlarged during the process
of (llg'-Kiion, In order that a due amount
of gastric Juice may be secreted, are at
once contructeil. and the function Is
accordingly more or less completely
arrested. Confirmed dyspepsia is a
necessary consequence, and this f-e-qnently
assumes the form of gast.'lc
catarrh, than which few disorders are
more Intractable. There is some rea
son to believe that cancer of the stom
ach, a disease certainly more frequent
among Americana than other people, Is
likewise one of lis eonsetjuenceH.
Water for drinking purposes should
never be below fifty degrees. AVe can
almost always get It, even iu the hm
test weather, as cool as this by letting
it run for a minute or two from any
household faucet, or draw It from any
well. I aui quite sure thai If ice-water
should be generally discarded as a
drink, the average duration, of life
would be lengthened, and exlsteucii
rendered more tolerable."
The eminent doctor's words may be
bpeded by a few, but it Is quite jirob
able that the great majority of x-ople
will continue to Indulge lu the tem
porarily refreshing beverage. lioston

GLADSTONE'S CHIVALROUS ACT
Trucked a Wayward Wife to Indue
Her to Hclnra Home.
Attention has been recalled to a but
little kuown ami much misinterpreted,
episode lu the career of Mr. Gladstone
by the bankruptcy of Colonel Horact
Walpoie, nominally the adopted son,
but in reality the Illegitimate Issue of
the late earl of nrford, ami for whoa
unworthy sake the old peer left every
stick and ve::ge of property away
from the earldom, which descended to
bis nephew, the pn -tit jiecr. who for
tunately Is married to a rich Americas
girl, daughter of tbe railroad maguats,
Daniel (xiililu of New York.
Some forty years ago the late earl of
Orford tloH'il with Lady Lincoln, wlft
of Ixnd Lincoln, who was at tbe tints
Mr. Gladstone's most Intimate friend,
and w ho sulsciuoiiily became duke of
Newcastle. Iord Lincoln subsequently
obtained a divorce from his wife, aud
the most important testimony furnish
ed lu support of the petitioner's caso
was that of Mr. Gladstone, who ad
mitted in court Unit he had sjcut much
time and money In tracking the fugi
tive couple all over Euroic, until bt
finally ran them to earth lu the north of
Italy. The Idea that Mr. Gladstone
should thus have played what appear
ed to be the role of n private detective
in the affair brought upon him much
obloquy, which it took him many years
to live down. Vet those who know
him best are aware that there was uotti
lug" further from his mind when be un
dertook the arduous task of following
the eloping couple through Euro- than
the idea of playing a role In the divorce
case or to securing lestimouy for Lin
coln. Gladstone believed that he had
great Influence wlih Lady Lincoln, and
his one and only aim was to induce her
to return to her husband, who was so
deeply attached to her that he was pro
pared to forgive her and to restore her
to his heart and home If she had gone
back to Kligland with Gladstone. If
Mr. Gladstone failed in his mlrwion it
was not for want of pleading, but sob
ly and entirely because Lady Lincoln
was so Infatuated by Die many and
undeniable charms of that handsome,
cultured nud dashing married roue, the
late Lord Orfurd. that she d-'clim-d to
leave him under any circumstance. It
win only then that Lord Lincoln reluc
tantly made up his mind to obtain a
divorce', ami linked his friend Gladstone
to help him in tbe matter.
Lord Orfoi'd a couple of year later
deserted Lady Lincoln, who ultimately
iM-cattie the w ife of a picture dealer at
Brussels, where she died a few years
ago. Hut Lord Urford undertook to
provide for the sou whom she had
borne him on the shores of Lake Ciiiiiu,
in Italy, nud tis his countess lutd pro
vided him wlih nothing but daughters
be got to be very fond of the boy and to
look upon him a his only son. He per
mitted him to bear the name of Horace
Walpoie. which was iiis own Christian
name and patronymic; secured for him
a commission In the guards when he
grew up, and w hen he died couple of
years ago left him every bit of property
that was not entalliil. It bits ret lusted
the colonel Jong, for lie hfs Ix-en d
clared a bankrupt, with liabilities of
f.-jMi,tfiO and assets of about ?o.ooo
ibis too In spite of the fset that not
alone landed estates yielding an In
come of $7o,0(0 a year, but likewise
almost $l,issi,(KiO in r.Hidy cash. The
colonel's losses have been Incurred al
most entirely on the turf. St. Ixuit

Rev. Samuel Haughton was not only
a clergyman and a man of science, but
a medical man to boot, and his knowl
edge of surgery enabled him on one oc
casion to perform with complete suo
cess, under circumstances of great per
sonal danger, an operation on the paw
of one of the tigers of the Dublin uxx.
The claw of the otiluial having become
distorted, bad grown Into the foot ami
gangrene was threatened. A let waa
thrown over (he animal and he was
drawn forward to the ibsir of the i-ngej
and then, while the assistants held his
paws, excepting (he diseased one, Dr.
Haughton cut away the claw. The rage
of the tigress, looking on through the
bars of the side den. was terrible to
witness, and after the operation sbo
turned up the pttw of her mute, ex
amined It, and then licked him as a i-iU
lb ks a kitten. A week later Dr. Haugh
ton was again ill tbe zoo to see how hi
patient was going on. When the tiger
espied him he begnn to purr like a cat
and allowed the doctor to examine the
paw. Indeed, for years afterw ard l)th
the tiger and tigress showed them
selves most friendly and grateful to Dr.
Haughton. London Chronicle.
