It is truly gratifying to be able to givo a good report of our young ladies; they are really taking a lively Interest in their meetings, and by their energy and perse, veranco are accomplishing much good, and me more they exercise the ability God has given them the better they will bo ablo to convey their thoughts to each other and by prayerfulness and humility their understandings will become enlarged, so that they can more fully comprehend tho great and important work that is before the-poo- wis-do- them.

Her relation to you is simply changed, not her nature. Don't think that you can dispense with all the little civilities of life toward her on marrying. She appreciates those things quite as much as dther women Don't bo rude and gruff at home. Had you been that sort of a fellow bofore marriage, tho probabilities are that you would have been sewing on your" own buttons still. DonU make your wife think she is an Incumbrance on you by giving grudgingly. What she needs, give cheerfully, as if it were a pleasure to do so. Don't meddle with tho affairs of tho house under hor charge. You havo no more right to bo poking your nose into tho kitchen than she has 1o walk into your place of business and give directions to your employees. Don't find fault with her extravagance in ribbons, etc., until you have shut down on cigars, tobacco, whiskey, etc. Don't leave your wife at homo to nur33 .

AT THE Man's industries and the labor problem have in all times past engaged the minds of men, and men have formed themselves into societies and organizations for the purpose of concentrating their efforts and thereby creating a stimulus for mutual improvement and benefit. And many of the ablest men to-da- y of the country are leading these organization and are publicly discussing tho various topics of men's industries. Bui the industries of women are too frequently overlooked as a matter apparently of little or no she has thus far received but little encouragement in this direction from the public. This neglect of her work has called forth the organization known as the "Woman's Department" of our State agricultural fair, which was one of the main features of attraction at the fair of last year. Mrs. Mary E; Haggart, of this city, who was one of the principal movers In organizing this department, and who is now president of the association, has been induced to prepare an ad dress upon the subject of woman's ind ustries, which she Is ready to deliver at the coming county and State fair. Sho is fully indorsed by the State Agricultural and Horticultural Socio ties' andvv also take pleasure in adthat sho is a ding lady of fine scholarly attainments, and is an earnest worker in all reform movements,eminently practial in her and In her lectures always handles thoviews, subchosen ject with marked ability,and as an orator she has few superiors. Her services can bo.engaged for a very moderate consideration.
