CATS AND DOGS VKRSUS HORSES AND COWS. "It in granted that oar oats and dogs are good for nothing. except they are kept short. But onjr .narses, cpws, aod, oxen mast be kept ure^x-a do honor1 aha be profitable to their owners."

T. T. finds this pithy and suggestive note at the bottom of a page in an old sermon which was reviewed in the North American Review In 1815. And, by the by, seeing that there are little less than a score of churohes in this goodly (let the printer pe careful to spell it with double 0) city, and one of them is just settling a new and young minister, it will not be out of plase to quote a little from this old sermon, in which the preacher gives some very plain and sensible truths to the people to whom he had preauhed a good many years on a very small salary, which they refused to increase, although able to do so. He says: "Do you know by what means I have become so rich as to have a great house, finished and fur*, nisbed a farm, a herd of cattle, a flock of sheep, horses, and money a$ Ihtereet? The principal reason is this because 1 have been doing your business, and neglecting my own. Whai is! yt|dr business? Your business la to support your minister and that is what I have been doing for more than twenty years. And what is my business My business Is to study and preach and in this I have never abounded." It is easy to Bee bow he applies the note about the cats, etc. Dogs and cats do their work altogether better for short allowances. Horses and cows do their work better for being well kept. Ministers do not come under the oat-and dog rule, for the more they are 00 pel led to out for themselves b^ means outside their profession the poorer work they necessarily do. The better they are kept, so that they oan give all their time and attention to their profession, the better they will do their work. This quaint old preacher, in this same note, says "The way for a people to make their minister rich, is not to give him a reasonable salary, one sufficient for bis support, but a scanty salary, and try to starve him out that will open his eyes and employ his hands." T. T. would suggest to the church with the tall spire, and to all the rest, that itry make a note of the dog-and-oat principle, and horse-and-oow principle and govern themselves accordingly. This young man who is joat entering bis profession here with so much zeal, ought to be so cared for that he oan give all his time, attention aod strength to his work. Neither he nor the others will hunt sinners any better, nor half as -well, for being starved, aod there are plenty of us slnnors(msrk T. T.*» humility) for them to hunt.

But T. T. did not start with a purpose to lecture the churches, for the principle of the note hss a wider application.

OOOD FAIR FAY

Is the very best security for g66d service. The church, the corporation, and the individual that puts its employes on short allowances cheats Itself. It would not have oost the railroads half as mnoh for conductors if they had paid two hundred dollars a month Instead of one hundred. There is a constant and strong temptation to a man who is underpaid to look out for himself in some other direction. There is temptation to be dishonest if he has a chance, and oftener a temptation to a divided aervica, taking time, strength and attention for other work beside that of the employer. And then tbere is a lack of heart In the work, and the oonstant outlooking for something that will pay better. So for as possible the employer should, for the sake of his own interests, make it desirable for those wh6 serve him, to keep their places. Starved horse? cannot do good work, and starved cows cannot ifiVo the best, nor the jtriorit'mllk. Workmen "of any kind upon short allowance cannot do their best work. Companies, merchants, manufacturers, farmers, 'and all who employ men, will find In the end that it is the best policy to treat those working for them as they do their horses and

A STORY

Which amused him. A pig was once given to the preaoher on oonditlon that he-should tell the donor all bis faults. He oomplied so faithfolly With the condition that the dou6r soon became mort than satisfied, and, inaager began to tall the preaoher of his faults. "Stop 1 stop 1" said the minister, "you are too fast you must wait till I give you a pig, and then y^u may tell me my faults." a=**=-s-aa«=: s,'i

A Woman's Opinions,

t\ 1 1

'. vij iwe-**'•*--: STRAY THOUGHTS ON MATRIMONY. The petty trials and annoyances of married life tend more effectually to' estrange the affections than the, great troubles that oftentimes befall us. They are Insidious foes they creep into our households unawares 'they unijefrn^rte our happiness and peace of mind. vljHey are always tha result of our own peduliarltles of temper, our thoughtlessness, carelessness, obstinacy, or other Infirmities, To appreciate the full force of these habits and the effects tb«y have upon husbands snd wives, one ought to board or visit among his friends for awhile, sinoe tbey hre found in every family. Ai you withes* the 'various little quarrels and estrangements that might so easily have been avoided, Jt will set you to thinking whereabouts the trouble lies In you? own household and may perhaps cause a reform, for a time, at least. I visited in a family once w-here the husband and: wife were preparing to attend an oyster supper. She insisted that he *hohld put on a clean shirt be declared that he was tired and wouldn't do it she said she wouldn't go with hlm 'then he told her she might go by herself she did so, but oame home with another gentleman this aroused the husband's Indignation, and when I left, several weeks later, they were Btill in a state of hostility. This question of a olean shirt has produced many a quarrel indeed it is a troublesome garment, for if its bosom does not possess the immaculate gloss so dear to the masculine heart, tbere is sure to be a storm in thd air, and If a button happen to be missing—words cannot describe the scene that ensues. I know one married ooupie who can never enjoy a walk together because, just as tbey start, the husband thrusts both bands into his pantaloon pockets and keeps them there, a habit his wife despises, as she claims it is ungentlemanly, and doesn't show her proper .respect, so their walk always ends In discussion. He poured forth his complaint to me one day and closed by saying, "Now, why does she make a fuss sbout Buoh a little, trifling, silly thing?" "Well," said I, "If it is little and trifling and silly, why don't you give up the habit whereupon he went out and slammed the door, an argument I defy any woman to answer.

Another woman was always complaining that her husband did not make love to her as he used to, and be declared be never did any suoh soft things, so she hunted up a lot of his old letters, and selecting the worst (or best) of the lot, where be called her a duck and an angel and offered to die for her or perform any other little favor she wished, she thrust it under his nose at the dinner table, exclaiming, "Now, read that and see if you didn't nse to talk love to me." He pushed the letter away In disgust, saying, "Well, if I was such a fool once I never will be again." A little common sense would have told her that a man never wishes to be reminded of any foolish sots 00mmitted In bis youth. I heard a gentleman not long ago severely censuring his wife for her laek of style, critlcliing her bonnet and jiress and hurting her feelings badly. Afterwards be said to me, "I don't know what is the matter with Nellie. 8be used to be the moat stylish girl in town before we were married and now she is justtbe reverse." "Then," said I, "she went to every theater, oper«* and party that was given and saw all the styles. Does she do that now T" "Well, no, we oan't very well afford It." "Then, she had nothing to do but study the fa«ib ions and make little dainty articles for herself. Is that the case now T" "No, not exactly. You see the baby takes up so much of her time, and then her housekeeping and plain sewing,"—and he went away looking as if a new idea had dawned upon him.

Another peculiarity of many men ia their unwillingness to aooept an apology. "I bad callers just at supper time,"

don't oars

I never please yosu%

"Oant you find time to mend my coat to-day?" asks the husband. "No, I can't," says the witrf to herself, ss phe dreeses to go and spend the afternoon playing crpquet.^'fD*, please take me to the theatre this evening," eoaxss the wife. "Can't afford It," grumbles he, and goes down town, buys a box of cigars for $8, and treats the crowd at fifteen cents a drink.

There Is no end to the Instances that might be given of (heae breakers that lie concealed beneath the aea of matrimony, grating and jarrfng and threatening the family vessel as It goes sailing along, and sometimes, alas! oastlng it a hopeless shipwreck upon the wet sanda.

A little tact, a little thoaghtfnlneaa,' and all these petty but painful misunderstandings mif bt be avoided. Au lion* est, faithful deterinlnation, on the part of both husband and wife, to do exactly, right, would make the patl* so easy and, pleasant. But why does it so often happen that a warm-hearted, faithful and devoted husband, msrrlea a, selfish,, worldly, and ill-tempered wife while a pure, loving, and induatrlous woman, finds herself bound to a worthless, intemperate and immoral husband Everybody has noticed thiafaot, and lamented that two families shoutfl be spoiled. If, a man bas a wife of this' description, any efforts he may japak* to render ills pleasant will be alnpost useJesii He can only strive to be patient arid forbeartng, doing bis duty in a conscientious manner, and seeking, iiu an honorable wa£, for whst little happiness be may find in the world outaslde of home. tff.

When a woman of spotless character and noble Impulses flnda that, tbrough some terr)ble mistake, sjbe Is united to a man of sullied reputation* with an ungovernable propensity for the vioee she bates, she must do one of two things: either separate herseif from him entirely Or else endure her lot with fortitude, remembering that though the fairest and sweetest portion ofr a Woman's life— a happy marriage—is lost tq her forever, yet her existence need not be aiailnre. The'domains of literature, art and Science. 'offer opportunities for enjoyment which are not subject to the caprice of man or, if shtf have no taste for these, the church, the benevolent Institutions, the sick, the poor all ask for woman's aid and sympathy. But, husbands and wives, if you think best to accept your fate, and bear with one another's infirmities, do so ia silence, and uncomplainingly. The world ia not interested in your grievances n6body cm earth can help you they w)H listen tbi you with curiosity and speak of you in terms pf pity and condemnation. Shut out the publio from the 'sacreclness of your hearthstone, for it is 9scre& even though it be sorrowful. !.•

The majority of marriages a"re moderately happy, The per cent., of happy people is probably greater among the married thaA the Siofgle. Mortals cannot expect to live always in a state of supreme bliss. They ought to be well satisfied if their declining years find them prosperous, healthful, and free from anxiety.,

The passion of youth gives place to a Calm, steadfast affection that has matured and ripened with the passing sessons.

A man sometimes experiences a feeling of regret that bis wife does not come to greet him with the bounding step, the sparkling eyes and the flushing cheeks that be remembers so well in the days of their cpurtship. He should not forget that now those feet have many tiresome duties to perform which rob them of their elastic spring that those tender eyes keep many a weary vigil by the oouoh of sick children, or employ the hours that used to be given to refreshing sleep, in stitching away upon the little garments that carry in their fold* the youthful bloom and besuty of many a devoted mother. She is growing gray in your service, oh 'husband, and she feels it &r more keenly than you possibly oan. A gentle word from you, a thoughtful consideration for her wants, are worth a thousand times more to her now than they used to be when she was aocnstnmed to receive these attentions on every side. Her smiles and endearing terms for you may grow less as the years go by, but in the balance of love you will find them fhr outweighed1 by the intrinsic worth of the many du ties «^4«Uy jwrfqrnM for your 00mfort. -iiw

It is, doubtless, the saddest pferiod of a woman's life when she perceives that her husband is growing less demonstrative of his affection for her. She mourns over It in secret she strives to Imagine the cause she tortures herseif with the thought that be oaxes for some one else, and all the While the husband goes about his buSiness in total aaconsciousoess of her silent struggles. He seeashe looks troubled, and asks her if she wants to go and see her "mother. This she constrtMTtoto a %iilf td If H& Wf her and grows more dejected than ever,

He has preached here on several Sabbaths, and bis sermons have given tbe greatest satisfaction. He is a scholarly gentleman a fluent speaker, graceful in delivery, and a theologian of motto than ordinary attainments.

The incressed number of women who hold that to get married is-not the sole end of the fair sex ,is rapidly increasing. This tendency to beoome, independent and self-helpful on the part of. women ia one of the most slgnifioant signs of the tlmee. Among tbe recent lUustratlOnB of this growing sentiment are the two daughters of U. S. Senator Sargent, both of whom have studied medicine, and one of whom is practising in Washington.

A woman in a Kansas Pacific Railroad car sat facing a man who, with one eye at least, seemed to be staring fixedly at her. She became indignant and said, "Why do you look at me so, sir T' He said that he was not aware of having done so, but she insisted. "I tteg your pardon, Madam, but it's this eye, is It not?" lifting his finger to his left optio. "Ves, sir, it's that eye." "Well, Madam, that eye wont do you any harm. It's a glass eye, Madam—only a glass eye. I hope you'll excuse it. But, upon my soul, I'm not surprised that even a glass eye should feel interested In so pretty a woman." The explanation and the oompllment combined to put woman into a good humor.

We are told the following ia tbe oorrect style The married lady should call first or else invite the ydung lady to call upon her. In the latter case it is etiquette that the yoong lady pay the first visit. If the young lady aooept an invitation without having bean, qalled upon by her hostess, it Is still her duty to pay her respects by oAdj Oritt'piWMl upon one who has beett'fr?r hostess. When an interchange of civilities has been once established between a married and single lady tbe latter exjfected to make tbe moat, If not a& of the visits of ceremony or friendship. lady who has often met another and desires to invite her to an entertainment, should first call qpqp her.

For several years BoffalP.BUI hap been giving dramatic exhibitions, illustrating life oh thg 'plains, and berbas become really an actor of considerable^ merit. His, exhibitions are immensely popular. He has scquired quite ft fortune, and 'now, owns a large rsnebe, about three hundred miles west of Omaha. Wben he visited ua, yesterday, we asked him about his Intentions for the fnture. "I sm going to San Francisco in March," be said, "and play there. Afterwards I vyiU'go to Europe, and then come back and settle down J^n my ranche." "You'll get tired of that," we remarked. "No! I love the plains and couldspend my life on them. I never feel so well as wben out there, hunting antelope and buffalo." "So you're going to California?" "Yes. And, by the wsy, California la the place for a whole-souled reoeption. Tbey ere wide-awake and generoua."

While talking about the Crook expedition, Buffalo Bill told ua the story of bis enoounter with Yellow Hand. Our troops were engaged In a skirmish with the Indiana, when Yellow Hand sbout* ed out a oballenge to the "long-baired man" to oome out and' fight singlehanded. The oballenge waa aooepted. TO have declined it would have lost him his prestige among the Indiana, and jnight have been followed by serious results. The Indian and "pale-face" warriors rode toward eaoh other, firing their rifles both horses were killed, Yellow Hand was shot through tbe thighs and "Bill" waa slightly wounded.
