What married life needs to give it
new tone and sweetness is more of
the manner as woll as the spirit of
the old courting days. The beauti
ful attentions which before marriage
were so pleasant, are too ofteu for
gotten afterwards. The gifts cease
or come only with the asking; the
music dies out of the voice ; every
thing is taken as a matter of course.
Then come dull, heavy hard days to
the unhappy souIb that have solemn
ly promised to "love, honor and
obey," etc., and the consequence is
they begin by wishing themselves
apart, and are not always content
with the mere wishing.
Very much of the pleasure of
courtship is derived from the con
stant attention of the parties to each
other. Their affection for each
other's voices evincee itself in every
possible way. Every sentence is
gilt-edged with compliments spoken
in lender tones. Every look is a
confession of love; every act is a
new world in the exhanstleBS vocab
ulary of love. GiftB and personal
sacrifices are the more emphatic ex
pressions of the spirit no language
can fully articulate, no devotion de
clare. It is a fact that devotion de
clares itself continually in words
and acts. At the touch of Cupid's
wand the language grows more
rapid, the fingers gentler in their
touch, and the voice more musical.
Love is very like the silver jet of a
fountain that leaps heavenward; if
denied its natural outlet it ceases to
flow altogether. The love of court
ship can bo kept bright and beauti
ful through married life, by giving:
it utterance or expression in word1;;
and the more it 19 allowed to flow
out in delicate attentions and noble,
helpful services the stronger it will
become, and the more satisfying.
The beautiful attentions of the hus
band refresh, brighten and make the
wife strong-hearted and keen-sighted
in everything pertainiug to the
welfare of her homo or her hus
band's happiness. And the parting
words of love from the wife give
the husband new courage as he goes
forth to meet the trials and difficul
ties of business. The home is home
only when pervaded with this bless
ed influence of love, and the mar
riage vow should not be made once
for all at the altar, btjt should be
kept by husband and wife "till death
do them part."
Husbands, talk to your wives lov
ingly as in the early days of court
ship, when you wished to win their
affectiou. "Wives, meet every show
of tenderness from your husbauds
as you did in the beautiful days that
linger so pure and sweet in your
memory, and your home will be a
type of that heavenly home that only
is promised to those who love.
CoHraffo ia Disease.
Many a life has been saved by the
moral courage of a sufferer. It is
not alone in bearing the pain of op
erations or the misery of confine
ment in a sick room this self-help
becomes of vital moment, but in the
monotonous tracking of a weary
path, and the vigorous discharge of
ordinary duly. How many a vic
tim of incurable disease has lived
on through years of suffering, pa
tiently and resolutely hoping
against hope, or what is better, liv
ing down despair until the virulence
of a threatening malady has died
out, and it has ceased to be destruc
tive, although its physical character
istics remained? This power of
"good spirits" is a matter of high
moment to sick and weakly. To
tho former it may mean the ability
to survive, to the latter the possi
bility of outliving, or living in spite
or a disease. It is, therefore, of the
greatest importance to cultivate the
highest and most buoyant frame of
mind which the conditious will ad
mit. The same energy which takes
the form of mental activity is vital
to the work of the organism. Men
tal influences affect the system, and
a joyous spirit not only relieves
pain, but increases the momentum
of life in the body. The victims of
disease do not commonly sufficient
ly appreciate the value and use of
"good spirits." They too often set
tle dowu in despair when a profes
sional judgment determines the ex
istence of some latent or chronic
malady. The fact that it is probable
that they will die of a particular
disease casts so deep a gloom over
their prospect that through fear of
death they are all their life-time
subject to bondage. The multi
tude of healthy persons who wear
out their streugth by exhausting
journeys and perpetual anxieties for
health is very great, and the policy
in which they indulge is exceeding
ly short-sighted. Most of the Bor
rowfuland worried cripples who
drag out miserable lives in this way
would be less wretched and live
longer if they were more hopefnl.
It is useless to expect that any one
can be reasoned into a lighter frame
of mind, but it is desirable that all
should be taught to understand the
sustaining, and often even curative
power of "good spirits."

"The "Way It Is Done," is the title
of an interesting little book by Mrs.
Warren, the well-kuown writer of
several valuable books on domestic
economy. Here is an oxtract which
might be read ith interest by
sufferers from rheumatism:
"I can't get up stairB, I be so crip
pled." "Just try it a step at a time and
rest. And what do you sleep in,
sheets or blankets?"
"Sheets, of course; what else? I
have got blankets over me, and a
good thick counterpane over that."
"I thought so ; put away the sheets
and the counterpane, and sleep in
blankets, under and over, and no
counterpane at all. The sheets and
the counterpane do a great deal of
mischief."
"Well, now, how can that be?"
"The cotton keeps the sour heat
and perspiration from the body in
the bed, and so you breathe the pois
oned air all night, summer and win
ter, and that poinoned air makes
your rheumatism ten times worse.
If you were in blankets, they would
not absorb the perspiration; it
would pass through from ono to the
other, but in cotton, if it absorbs
it I had better say soaks into it
there it remains cold or hot, or
clammy."
"That may be right, sure enough,
for I do perspire so with pain that
ono might wring the sheets sometimes."

"". Farm 1.1 re.
It is a common complaint that the
farm and farm life are not appre
ciated by our people. We long for
the moie elegant pursuits, or the
ways and fashions of the town.
But the farmer has the most sane
and natural occupation, and ought
to find life sweeter, if less highly
seasoned, than auy other. He alone,
strictly speaking, has a home. How
can a man take root and thrive
without land? He writes his his
tory upon his field. 'How many
ties, how many resources he has ;
his friendships with his caltlo, his
team, his dog, his trees, the satis
faction in his growing crops, in his
improved fields ; his intimacy with
Nature, with bird aud beast, and
with the quickening elemental for
ces; his co-operations with the
cloud, the sun, the seasons, heat,
wind, rain, frost Nothing will
take the various social distempers
which the city and artificial life
breed out of a man like farming,
like direct and loving contact with
the soil. It draws out the poison.
It humbles him, teaches him pa
tience and reverence, and restores
the proper tone to hie system.
Cling to the farm, make much of
it, put yourself into it, bestow your
heart and your brain upon it, so
that it shall savor of you and ra
diate your virtue after your day's
work is done I Scribner.
Nebraska.
Two brief articles have becu pre
pared aud published, and left stand
ing in the Journal, relative to
Nebraska, its advantages and pro
ducts. One moro short article must
close the series for this seasou.
To persona who never saw a prai
rie country, to look over it is rather
an interesting sight; as a general
thing the absence of timber gives to
it the appearance of waste and bar
renness to those who are accustomed
to live in a timbered country. Tim
ber of every kind common to this
latitude can be cultivated on the
prairies of Nebraska. Near the wa
ter courses and river bluffs a large
quantity of trees are generally found
growing in great luxuriance.
Among the varieties found in such
localities are cottonwood, box-elder,
buckeye, maple, locust, ash, hickory,
oak, willow, poplar, sycamore, wal
nut, pine and cedar. The shrubs
include common,juniper, pawpaw,
prickly ash, sumacs, red root, spin
dle tree, plum, currants and goose
berries, dogwood, butter bush, buffa
lo berry, mulberry aud hazlenut.
Cedars are found on the islands of
the Platte, and along tho Loup, and
on the Niobrara there is a large
quantity of pine.
But the interesting point we want
to make is the fact that all this
yariety of trees will grow and flour
ish on tho prairie, aud that as much
timber as may be needed by each
farmer can be raised on his farm.
It is not a little surprising to know
that the early travelers, aud, among
others, Gen. Fremont, should have
formed the opinion that the prairies
of Nebraska were a sandy desert,
unsuited for farming purposes, when
in these times it has been examined
by competent judges and pronounc
ed without any hesitation to be a
region which is to be the great grain
and stock -producing area of the
continent. Men don't make bread
of sand, and they don't, as a general
thing, settle in such localities. The
United States cover 23 degrees of
latitude ; away to the frozen north,
aud down to the semi-tropic south.
With all this choice, from the be
ginning of western settlement the
great current of movement has been
within a central belt five or six de
grees in width, aud nearly corres
ponding with the latitudinal length
of Illinois, which lies between 3G
degrees, 5C minutes and 42) degrees.
This is the belt in the United States
in which industry obtains the most
certain and highest rewards. It is
temperate in climate and a man
can work up to his best notch. The
land is fruitful, and bears in great
abundance those products which are
necessaries of life, and which there
fore have a steady comraprcial value.
The population of Nebraska in the
beginning of 1850 was 10,716, and at
the close of 1875, 259,912, which was
a twenty-five-fold increase in twen
ty years.
Corn in Nebraska is most bounti
ful in production ; with fair cultiva
tion the yield is from 50 to 60 bush
els per acre. Wheat from 15 to 25
bushels per acre. Barley from 30 to
40 bushels. Rye 25 to 30 bushels.
Oats 40 to 50 bushels. A country
whioh is adapted to the raising of
corn; Bmall grains; good for grass
and hay, and has at all times a fa
vorable climate, must be a good
location for stock raising. Live -Btock
is in great demand the civilized
over, aad it is in live stock the far
mer finds a great deal of his wealth.
it nas been demonstrated among
the Nebraska farmers that mixed
farming is the most profitable, there
fore every farmer should combine
grain and stock raising. In fact
every farmer that has carried cattle
upon his farm and handled them
with judgment for any length of
time is now enjoying the rich profits
of his investment and labor. Look
around among your neighbors and
in every case where money has been
invested in stock and handled with
care it has brought tho largest in
crease in dollars and cents to those
who have invested. And there is
room in Nebraska for hundreds of
thousands more farmers.
Of oue thing the Omaha Bee may
rest assured, aud that is that the
Blaine men in the rcceut conven
tion were not fricuds of E. Rose
water, and enemies of Seuator Pad
dock. The people of this State en
tertain too high and siucere a regard
for the ablest and most useful of
Nebraska's Senators to cast him
aside after his unceasing, tireless
labors for four years for tho welfare
of this State at the bidding of the
unscrupulous demagogue, Hose
water. It won't do, Rosewater!
Such vindictive abuse, coming from
such dishonest a source, will en
deavor Senator Paddock more firm
ly in the intimation of every sensi
ble citizen of the State. If you wish
to effectually blight Nebraska's hon
orable Senator, you should pursue
the same course you have taken
with Senator Saunders. Praise him,
ply him with flattery, and cajole
him into the belief that you are the
Great I Am of Nebraska, and that
without your aid, no man can ac
quire prominence and position.
Again, we say, Mr. Rosewater, it
won't do! You are on the wrong
track. The intelligent portion of
Nebraskians too fully realize the
hypocrisy, deceit and dishonesty
condensed in your treacherous hide.

Though Richard had scant expe
rience in such matters, ho was not
wrong in accepting Margaret as tho
type of a class of New England girls,
which, fortunately for New Eng
land, is not a small class. These
young women for tho most part
lead quiet and restricted lives so far
as the actualities are concerned, but
very deep and full lives in the world
of books and imagination, to which
they make early escapes. They have
the highest iustincts that come of
good blood, the physique that nat
urally fits fine manners ; and when
chance takes one of these maidens
from her inland country home or
from sleepy town on the seaboard,
and sets her amid the complications
of city existence, she is an unabash
ed and unassuming lady. If in
Paris, she differs from the Parls
ienness only in the greater delicacy
oi nor nine ueauty, ner innocence
which is not ignorance, and her
French pronunciation ; if in London,
she differs from English girls only
in the matter of rosy cheeks and the
rising inflection. Should none of
these fortunate transplantings be
fall her, she always merits them by
adorning with grace and industry
and intelligence the narrower sphere
to which destiny has assigned her.

The sea is the largest of ceme

without a monument. All other
graveyards, in all lands show some
symbols of distinction betweeu the
great and small, the rich and poor,
but in thai ocean cemetery the king
and clown, the prince and peasant,
are alike undistinguished. The
same wave rolls over all, the re
quiem by the minstrels of the ocean
is sung in their honor. Over their
remains the storms beat and the
same sun shines ; and there, unmark
ed, the weak and powerful, the
plumed and the unhonored will
slsep on until, awakened by the
trump, the sea will give up its dead.
No marble rises to point out where
their ashes are gathered. Yet the
cemetery hath ornaments of which
no other can boast. On no other
are the heavenly orbs reflected in
such splendor. Over no other is
heard such sweet melody.
Rev. Dr. John Hall warns the
joung men of America that they are
threatened by four perils.which are :
Shallowness in business training,
dislike of a trade, lack of auy settled
purpose in life, and enervating pur
suits. Four dangers also confront
the community in general. These
are, in his opinion, a defective pub
lic spirit, weak commercial con
science, au exaggerated idea of
personal freedom, and the feebleness
of the prevailing religious life as
evinced by enormous church debts,
the dearth of able ministers and the
intellectual gymnastics to which
some clergymen resort in their ef

The Doctor's Advice.
At the Beginning
Nothing is learned without a cer
tain amount of drudgery, and boys
who undertake to learn a trade must
be prepared for work of all kinds.
A boy from a wealthy family was
received into a large establishment,
but found no royal road to business
advancement. He had to begin at
the bottom of the ladder just as the
poorest in the store did. He often
wondered why his employers kept
him two long years assorting shoes
and handling great sides of leather.
But when he became a salesman all
was plain, for he was able at a
glance to tell almost the exact worth
of a pair of shoes, or the quality of
a side of leather. Thorough knowl
edge only comes by practice. Rep
etition makes the most difficult
matters easy aud seems almost to
add a sixth sense. The old tellers
in banks can count off with the
greatest rapidity vast piles of coin,
casting aside, as if by intuition, all
the light pieces. Their fingers have
learned to weigh like the nicest bal
ance. Hard and constant work is
needful before perfection can be
reached.
T. G. met an old friend, who was
formerly a prosperous lumberman
up North, but whose bad habits of
drinking resulted aa thoy often do,
though he has since reformed and is
trying to do better. "How are you ?"
said T. G. "Pretty well, thauk you,
but I have just beon to a doctor to
have him look at my throat."
"What's the matter?" "Well, the
doctor couldn't give me any encour
agement. At least, he couldn't find
what I wauted him to find." "What
did you expect him to find?" "I
asked him to look down my throat
for a saw mill and farm that had
gone down there." "And did he see
anotbing of it?" "No, but he advis
ed me, if ever I had another mill, to
run it by water."
A late cattle plague in certain
Russia provinces resulted fatally to
seventy-five or eighty per cent of
all the animals affected by it. See
ing no escaps for his cattle, one
individual resorted to tho experi
ment of inoculating his healthy
beasts with the virus taken from tho
diseased ones. On the tenth day
after the operation all the cattle ex
perimented upon were taken ill,
and it is reported that but eigh
teen per cent died, leaving eighty
two per cent secure from the ep
idemic. So satisfactory is this re
sult that the experiment is to be re
peated on a large scale.
Thero is a great deal of virtue in
tho five W's. Don't be ashamed to
ask Why? or When? or Who? or
Where? or Which? It was the
philosopher Locke who, when he
was asked how he had contrived to
accumulate a mine of knowledge so
rich, yet so extensive aud deep, re
plied that he attributed what little
he knew to the not having been
ashamed to ask for information, and
to the rule he had laid down for
conversing with all descriptions of
meu on those topics chielly that
formed their own peculiar profes
sion or pursuits. And that road is
open to every one.

they are not paid for it equally. I

wealth was swept away, and they

I am tired of hearing girls (as a

many lazy, worthless boys can you
count who are ready to borrow
money for dissipation, and what
kind of husbands do they make?

could fill positions that divided
their attentions less they might hope
to win more, for this is true of all."
