AGRICULTURAL Vhiteley's late ImDroved Tricvcle and Kepairs tor Champion Mowers, Reapers and Binders sold since 1876, Oliver Chilled Plows at reduced prices, Hench a-d Washington Letter. rioui oar regular Correspondent. Washington, April 20, 1891. Editor Chkoxiclk: Senator Peffer is certainly as active a missionary as the Kansas Farmers Alliance could have possibly have sent to Washington to spread tbe doctrines of that organization. He was the principal speaker at a public meeting held under the auspices of the Knights of Labor a night or two ago.

lie said: "Under the old dispensation it was criminal to teach a slave to read. This appears rather harsh, but from the standpoint of arbitrary and despotic power it was logical. It is not a very difficult task to enslave an ignorant people, and it is easy to keep an illiterate people in bondage, but an intelligent and educated people or nation will never permit themselves to be deprived of the boon of liberty. Thus it is that there is so much agitation, so much discontent in the industrial world. Men are being educat ed to know what their rights are, and knowing them they are going to have them.

It is not so many hundred years since the laborers on an estate descended from father to son, like other chattels, but that time is gone forever. The farmers, the mechanics, the wage workers of this country planted civilization on this soil, constructed railroads, built bridges and created a mighty industrial empire in what was before a wilderness. Have not they and their children a right to the product of their toil? "The people have become tired offending petitions to Congress to have them disregarded. Hereafter living petitions, like myself, will be sent, and they will get what they are sent after. The great trouble with many people is that the' look up to and respect authority too much, and pay too much heed to worm eaten tradi tions.

Even men high in governmental authority, who should be the exponents of great industrial principles, handle them as if they were afraid of being scorched by the contact. All of that will le changed in the near future, as well as the practice of the United States treasury in furnishing the Wall Street sharks with money, interest prepaid, for the asking, while the American citizens are forced to pay the banks exorbitant interest for Government money." Secretary Foster and Senator Sherman have had two lengthy conferences within the last forty-eight hours, and unless my ioformant is badly mistaken, and lie seldom ia, these conferences bode no good to the gentlemen who have been figuring upon the retirement of Senator Sherman. It is believed that he will shortly announce his candidacy for re-election to the Senate, and that Secretary Foster has promised his active operation. The favorable conclusion of the negotiations with Spain for a treaty providing for ttade reciprocity between Cuba and tbe United States, is a matter for congratulation, as Cuba is already a very large purchaser from us and under the treaty it is expected that ber markets will be practically monopolized by this country. For the second time interest in the Italian rumpus has died completely out.

The opinion is general that it will be a hard matter for the Italians to answer or get around Mr. Blaine's last dispatch, which is regarded as that gentleman's ablest state paper. According to Representative Springer, of Iilinoia, New York, under certain contingencies, has another candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination besides Messrs Cleveland and Hill, in the person of Representative Flower. Mr. Springer says, but he doesn't tell how he found out, that Mr.

Flower is going to Imj nominated for governor of New York this year, and that if he is elected by a lare majority that nothing can prevent his receiving the Democratic Presidential nomination next year. Mr. Flower has lota of money that he is always willing to spend to accomplish his own ends, but on the tariff he stands too near where the late Samuel J. Randall did to command the support of his party a national con vention. Speaking of Hill and Cleveland, I heard a very interesting argument between two democratic Senators as to their individual merits, which wound up with the statement by one of them that "Mr.

Cleveland is not popular among those who have never seen him." "Yes," retorted the other, "and Hill ia most too popular among those who know him lest, which tells the story of the two men's lives." Owing to the Illness of Attorney General Miller the Sayward (Bcbring Sea) case, which was to have come up to-day in the Supreme Court, was postponed for a week. An Importation of Designers of Ladies' Gowns. Among the cabin passengers who ar rived from Europe Saturday by tbe steam shio "La Bourgogne," were fourteen Parisan designers of Ladies' fashionable- gowns. Tbe artists have been engaged by the enterprising managers of The A'eio York and Paris Ladies' Fashion liatar, to contribute exclusively to the columns of that popular magazine. All of them are well known in New York, for their repu tations have preceded them.

Mrs. Astor, the Yanderbilts, Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Marshall O. Roberts are among tbe society leaders who Lave worn gowns designed by these artists.

During an interview wit 1 a reporter one of the designers said "Paris still leads the world of fashion although Eugenie no longer sits on her throne. Parisian gowns have a style about them that can not be equalled. That, I suppose, is the reason why we bave been engaged to come to America to teach the ladies of your beautiful country, through the columns of Tle iVVw York and Paris Yvung iMdies1 Fashion Bazar, how these wonderful creations of the dreas-makera' art are constructed. It is our business to design the handsomest and most fashionable gowns for the different seasons of the year. These designs will be printed in colors and will be accompanied by such clear instructions as to the selection of materials and the cutting and fitting of the garments that no woman of sense will have the least difficulty in making perfect-tilting gowns herself.

It is a knack, a science, to fashion a gown that will make a very small and fleshy lady appear slim. Not one designer out of a thousand can hit upon the true lines unless be makes it the study of a life-time. You ought to pee tbe Mar number of our Magazine. We have designs in it that will take the hearts of the ladies by storm. They do not get a new dress made up every day, and I can tell you it is an important item to get tbe best magazine, and the very latest aod most exquisite Paiis styles, and bave it fashioned like the one that is best suited to their figure."

For sale by 8. B. Wolfe, Druggist. 16aplly All Sorti of laUrestlaj President Harrison and party are being enthusiastically received at points throughout the South. Gen.

B. F. Butler was ejected from the United States District Court b7 tbe United States Marshal on Monday, by the instructions of Judge Carpenter. Henry Sechiera died in Philadelphia on Monday, of small-pox. It is the first death from the disease in the city for two years.

Several more are afflicted with it. Rear Admiral Alfred Taylor, U. S. retired, died in Washington last Saturday from pneumonia and acute bronchitis. He was 80 years of age and one of the oldest and best officers in the navy.

Ferdinand Meyer, a Hebrew youth aged 17 years, living in Philadelphia.committed suicide Monday night because he conld not get a new suit for the celebratiou of the Passover, which began on Tuesday. An explosion occurred in a quarry near Norristown, last Saturday morning in which two Italian laborers were instantly killed and a third badly injured. The men were engaged in drilling a hole in a rock intended to be blasted by dynamite. Mrs. Hannah Chard, of Mil'ville, N.

celebrated her 102d birthday on Monday. She is still quite bright intellectually and physically active. Her descendants are as follows: six children, thirty-three grandchildren, sixty-seven great-grandchildren, and seven great great-grandchildren. A freight train of thirteen cars and three engines oa the Maryland Central railroad, broke through a trestle at Fallston, a few miles from Baltimore last Thursday morning, and three men were killed and two badly injured, one dying a short time after. The trestle was found to be decay ed.

A fast trotting horse, en route from Buffalo to Philadelchia, leaped from a moving Lehigh Valley freight train, at Rockdale Tuesday night, fell against a passing coal train, and rolled under the freight train. A wreck ensued and the brakeman, Henry Wessler, of Weissport, was killed. The horse and several sheep and hogs were killed and five freight and twelve coal cars derailed and wrecked. Bucks county is infested with firebugs, and no less than a dozen blazes, all giving undoubted evidence of incendiarism, have occurred in different parts of the county within the last three months. Valuable horses and cattle, fine barns, tons of hay and fodder and thousands of dollars worth of valuable machinery and farming imple ments have been sacrificed to the flames by the dastards.

It is believed that tramps do the greater part of the work. Miss Margaret Scuutt. a maiden lady, died at Jerry, near Pittsburg last week, aged C5 years. She bad been a bard worker all her life, living as a domestic in different families. After her death when her room was being cleaned up an old bustle, which the deceased had worn, was tossed into the (ire, but Immediately taken out again as it felt unusually heavy.

It was torn open and gold and silver coin, and greenbacks to the amount of $9,000 discovered. The bustle will be kept as an heirloom. Literary Not. Mr. Bok, the Editor of The iAtHes' Home Journal, recently gave some iotei-estiug figures relative to the manuscripts received by his magazine during IbiiO Owing lo its departments and peculiar character, the Journal probably receives more manuscripts than any magazine published.

Mr. Bok says that he received at his office a total number 15,205 manuscripts. Of these, 2.2S0 were poems; stories and 11,179 miscellaneous articles. Of the poems, 06 were accepted; of the stories, only 21, and of the articles 410, of which latter, however, over 300 were solicited articles. Thus, it will be seen that of the entire 15,000 manuscripts only 497 were accepted; a trifle over three per cent.

Deducting from tbis tbe 300 accepted articles written at the Editor's solicitation, the net percentage of unsolicited manuscripts accepted ia brought down to 197 or a little more than one per cent. Statistics such as these show how much utter trash is being written, and the number of persons writing who ought to be employing their lime at something else and better. A story of unusual power and strange plot will begin in the May Cosmopolitan aod run through three numbers: The story of a man, who three times in his life undertakes to paint Jesus. As a young painter full of health and life, full of joy, he puts on his canvas, a Greek ideal of strength and beauty; juit as the picture is on the point of completion, ha learns to love a beautiful woman who returns his passion. After weeks at her feet he returns to his studio ont day, and is filled with disappointment when he gazes upon tbe face of thu Christ.

It is tbe face of a beautiful heathen god bearing no impress of that divine love which the painter now knows must belong tere. His canvas is turned to the wall, and inspired by love he sets to work upon the image of a new Christ, who would be a God of Love. Again his picture is completed when the second great change comes over his life. She whom he adores turns from him to give her love to the Prussian officer whose Greek beauty had been the model for his first picture. Going back to work under the shadow of this deep sorrow, he looks upon the face of Christ upon his easel, and sees that once more he has failed.

There is the beautiful face irradiating love, but there is not upon it the refining touch of sorrow thai must have been in the face of Him who was "a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." There was this wanting. He must set to work again, and paint not only the beauty of tbe Divine Perfection, and the love that embraced all mankind, but the Sorrow of the Man of God who suffered for our sins. The author, Hjal-mer njorth Boyesen, thinks he has given the best work of bis life in this singular story. (Price 25 cents. Cosmopolitan Pub.

Noah Webster would not know his old dictionary iu the perfection it has attained in the hands of modern scholars. The world grows, however, and dictionaries with it, so that a cheap reprint of the 44 years old "original" Webster is worth about as much as an old almanac. Webster's International Dictionary, tbe recent successor of tbe latest and still copyrighted "Unabridged," is the best work of its kind ever published, and well used In a family, will be of more value to the members thereof than many times its cost laid up in money. And Imagine a Vain Thing About the Newspapers Tbe heathen rage against the newspa per for almost all conceivable reasons and no reasons because they don't like to be I published into notoriety, because they don't wish to have others learn certain things about themselves, because their friends have been unpleasantly noticed, because the paper has published what they did not wish it to publish, and because it has not published that which tbey asked it to print. Almost always because of some point which affects their own self 1 Interest or selfishness do tbe heathen rage; and here and there is one who rages on "general principles" aof.

utters his fiat abolishing the whole institution, taking pains, next day, to secure extra copies containing his anathema for himself and his friends. It is safe to state that there is not a single Issue of a newspaper in print which does not contain something somewhere at which some heathen rages in spirit. But putting aside all these causes for displeasure on the part of the healhen, let me state one particular circumstance, and this ia really the chief reason why the beathe-n rage, so much and so unreason ably at the daily press. The circumstance Is tbis The fault finder, the carper, tbe would be censor of the press, very rarely asks himself these questions: "Is this right?" "Is It just?" "Is it a fair statement?" He never seems to recollect that in reputable j-mrnalism the first law, the guiding rule of an honorable editor, is the simple one of sound sense and exact justice; and it is because they do not consider this point that the heathen rage so much more than is necessary, and often make asses of themselves when they might pose as wise counselors. Io fine, then, the heathen rage because they cannot see that in reputable journalism justice and common sense rule the editor; not malice, spite and prejudice.

Remember this: Wrongdoers are more fearfal ef the press than Of law, justice so called, or punishment. You can hire a lawyer; buy a jury; judges never tell tales out il court; doctors keep their own counsel, aod scandal by word of mouth travels but a brief space; but the press cannot be frightened, bought or forced into silence. Big sinners and they ate the hardest to catch fear the exposures of the press more than they dread the pangs of the law or the pricks of conscience. Don't growl if your paper to-day doesn't suit you. You are getting for a couple of cents that which cost much more than you paid for it, and the advertiser, whom you scorn, is pajing for your reading matter.

Tbis is a fact. Given away a base ball and bat with every xy'" suit you buy at Hamilton A Robertson's. See the new spring shades in the Knox and Dunlap stiff hats just opened at Holland's. The Terminal Road Finished. The last track to form the connecting link of the Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pittsburg railroad was laid on Saturday afternoon, and the Terminal road is now completed.

Of course there will be filling up with ballast aod other necessary work before the road will be in first-class con dllion, hut this will require some time yet. A large force of track hards was at work all day Saturday to complete necessary ballasting. By the new road a valu able extension was made to the Philadel phia Reading beyond Harrisburg. It will lie of incalculable benefit to that cor poratloD and furniebes a route which had long been sought by the management. Tbe road was opened for freight traffic Tuesday.

On Monday the combination palace car "Ariel," with Assistant General Superintendent Bonzano, and a number of other officials, were drawn over the new road to inspect it. The party was composed of Messrs. Bonzano, Assistant General Superintendent; Blaine, trainmaster, and Stephens, civil engineer, and a happy gathering of railroad men it was. They came up through the Cumberland valley lo Shippensburg over the new route, which is almost a straight line between Harrisburg and Bowmansdale. The Harrisburg and Potomac with which the terminal will join to complete the western connection is somewhat out of repair, but will be placed in first class condition iu the near future.

With its completion the Philadelphia will have a direct outlet to the West without usiug the tracks of the Pennsylvania Company. The Reading officials expect to secure at once a large Western freight traffic over the new line, and when certain extensions now under way, including the Terminal in Philadelphia are completed, it will doubtless also receive a heavy passenger trade. In connection with the Reading's lines from Harrisburg to Allentown, and the Lehigh Valley or Jersey Central railroads from that poing to New York, the new road gives by far the shortest route from the metropolis to the Southwest. With all these connections and advantages the Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pittsburg railroad is expected to become one of the most important parts of the Reading system.

See bills for full description of properly. The economy of energy, tho conservation of force, is one of the most important things in life in leading to success, and the power to control these lies in keepiog in the right thought currents. Tbe only conclusive evidence of a man's sincerity is that be give himself for a principle. Words, money, all things else, are comparatively easy to give away; but when a man makes a gift of his daily life and practice, it is plain that the truth, whatever it may be, has taken possession of him. The Bible speaks more than once of the wing of the Almighty.

wings are broad wings. They cover up all our wants, all our sorrows, all our sufferings. puts one wing over our cradle, and He puts the other over our grave. Yes, it Is not a desert in which we are placed; it Is a nest. There is a Divine purpose in every Christian life.

We may not easily discover it, but we come into God's kingdom for some service. It is necessary that we seize our opportunities, for they soon vanish. If we do not recognize our place and fulfill our services we shall be unfaithful to the noblest trust and miss the grandest rewards. It is no use saying that we love our fellow-men, unless we try to help them; and it is no use pretending to symphathize with the heavy burdens which darken their lives, unless we try to ease them and to lighten their existeuce. Insomuch as we have more practical experience of life than other men, by so much are we bound to help their inexperience, and share our talents with them.

There is only one person worse than the tattler, and that ia tbe man who listens without protest. The trouble is, you hold the sack hile ho fills it. The receiver of stolen goods Is as bad as the thief. At your family table allow no detraction. Teach your children lo spt ak well of others; show them tbe difference between a bee and a wasp, the one gathering honey, the other thrusting a sting.

FKiENDsnip's chiefest gain the gain of being a friend, rather than of having a friend; for friendship itself is lovlne, rather than In-ing loved. Until this truth is comprehended, friendship can never be realized; yet with the realization of friendship there comes an experience of the ceaseless cost of such love as friend, ship is. Tender heaita and longing hearts are sore tried, as they face the question whether, after all, an unselfish friendship is worth its outlay to him who gives it ceaselessly. He who rears his fortune upon a basis of honesty reaches a place of security but be who erects his fortune upon tbe bones and blood of the oppressed aud tbe helpless poor, will live to see the day when himself and his fortune will lie In a heap of ruins and he entails a curse upon bis posterity. If you wish your children to rise up after you are gone and call you "blessed," build your fortune en tbe basis of truth and honesty.

Fear God and keep His commandments Be a man. Deal justly, and love mercy. Don't dwell in the tenia of wicked men, but dwell in the Temple of God. Love peace acd pursue it. Do good to all men, especially to tbe household of faith.

Do good, and you shall live in the hearts of men Pur-sue a selfish life, aod vour end is destruction. A gp.kat deal of unliappiness in borne life comes from misunderstanding the people one lives with. Each of us is more or less affected by the personal impression of a conversation, incident or episode. The way it strikes us is very apt to push quite out of sight the way it may strike another. In consequence, we misinterpret moods, or attribute to our kindred motives which have never occurred to them.

The quiet manner is taken to mean irritation when it is simply weariness, or the impulsive speech is supposed to spring from anger, when it may have its origin in embarrassment or in Indiscretion. At all events, life would be smoother In many a home if everybody would endeavor to understand bis or her neighbor in the home, and if everybody were taken at tbe best, and not at the worst valuation. "It is the law of influence," says Drum-mond, "that we become like those whom we habitually love." The fancy of an hour will not transform our nature, nor will our innermost life be shaped for good by one who docs not so command our admiration as to draw us away from ourselves and toward him unceasingly. But the steady outgoing of our affections towards one whom we deem worthy of praise and love and trust will gradually make us like him, by confirming us to our recognized ideal in him. "There are some men and some women in whose company we are always at our best.

While with them we cannot think mean thoughts or speak ungenerous words. Their mere presence is elevation, dnrification, ranc tity. All tbe best stops in our nature are drawn out by intercourse, and we find a music in our souls that was never there before. Suppose even that influence prolonged through a month, a year, a lifetime, and what could not life How much we owe to our chosen friends! We have the best step ladders at the lowest prices. J.

Subject to Democratic Rules A m.x j-te Thb leaders of tbe Prohibition party are Bakl to be divuled for and against Indianapolis as the place of holding the next national convention.

In the interest of harmony and other things, we suggest Watertown, N. as a compromise. It is funny to see how deeply solicitous the corporations are for the welfare of the farmer. Why, 11 you will believe it, but we don't suppose you will, tbey are opposing the pending tax bill because they love to ste the farmer prosperous, and they furthermore, seem to tbirik that the way to keep him prosperous is to keep on making him pay nearly all the taxes. The farmers want th'S law because it will distribute taxes equally and the corporations don't want it because it will compel them to pay their just share of taxes.

Farmers, insist on tbe passage of an equalization tax law. Tell corporations that it is not sympathy you want but tbe passage of a bill that will do equal and exact justice. Independent Journal. Thk Philadelphia papers with great unanimity are bitterly hostile to the revenue bill pending in the legislature. The corporation and capital influence of the Utate has been massed against the bill, ard although a measure of this kind for equalizing purpost-s has long been demanded by the people and has hitherto been defeated by questionable methods, it is not Improbable a way will be found to side-track the petdicg bill.

It is the fourth attempt of the kind within the last eight or ten years. Political conventions and leaders indorse its principles before the people, but; after election, when it comes to the nice work of legislation in the adjustment of details, on one pretext or another, by fair methods or foul, the measure is killed. Ia the gubernatorial canvass both parties were pledged to tax reform and equalization, so that real estate, and especially the farmers, should be relieved of excessive and unjust burdens in local taxation. Governor Pat- tison discussed the subject in no uncertain manner in every speech that he made. One of his most forcible illustrations lingers in the minds of all who heard him.

Estimatiog that the real and personal valuation of property in this State was about the same, he said that for State and local purposes there was col lecled annually in the State $38,000,000 of taxes, and of this amount fell on real property and only on personal. Tbis statement carried with it all the argument needed to enforce the demand for legislation in the direc tion of tax reform -nd realization. Some papers make a great hullabaloo a- boui the inquisitorial character of the proposed revenue law. That is the stock argument of corporations and capitalists that wish to escape their just proportion of tbe public burdens. Tbe law need not be offensively inquisitorial to any one who destres to be honest in returning his taxable property.

Of course the great army of tax shirkers object to anything that is calculated to bring them to book. If the law is objectionable in it3 details, why should not its critics in good faith seek to amend and improve it? I'ut that doea not appear to be their plan. The main purpose is to defeat any tax system that will exact from money capital aod corporations their fair share of the expenses of the State and local government. The friends of the revenue bill in tbe senate should insist on a fair and square vote on it, and not permit it to be killed by indirection, or smothered in committee. Osk of tte so called ballot reform bills paaeed the lower house of the Legislature by an almost uuaoimnus vote.

Undoubtedly the measure is not as complete in all of its provisions as it might le, and some of the high expectations entertsined of it are quite sure to be disappointed in case it should become a law. It may do to start with, and if nothing else is done in this connection for a while it may reve-d its weak points in such a way as to insure a more satisfactory measure in the near future. One great fact, however, is that in this matter of election reform there can be no re-d and permanent headway made except with the honest operation of the people. If two men agree between themselves, without witnesses of any sort, to debauch the ballot and keep their corrupt compact in secret, no law can be framed which will defeat their purpose or punish their iniquity. If one man agrees to sell his vote and the other agrees to buy it, no one else knows of the transaction, and they refuse to speak of it, what can be done about it? Ilereiu lies the one great, if not insuperable, difficulty in the way of the lawmaker in seeking to prevent the debauchery of tbe ballot.

Whatever measure of re-form is obtained must depend upon the voluntary and loyal action of the voters themselves, end when they reach this stage of virtuous patriotism there will be no need of a preventive statute, to guard against corruption at the poll-). Tbe lesson cif all 13 that a higher standard of public virtue in political matters must be reached before the political corruptionlst and his occupation will be gene ia this country. The great need of the hour is not more laws upon the statute books regulating elections, but a recognition of the obligations of honest citizenship by all classes of voters and by every Individual voter. The public conscience Deeds to be aroused, the individual conscience awakened. We have gone on at a rattling and reckless gait, making citizens of everybody, until we have to day in every State in the Union a large number of men legally capable of exercising tb: right of suffrage who are in no just sense entitled to this high privilege, who systematically degrade it, and whose corrupt actions are rapidly tending to undermine the very foundations of free institutions.

It is always the fashion wherever and whenever any public evil appears to cry out for some new law to remedy it In tbe matter of ballot reform it is not more statutory law, constitutional amendment, or revision that 1a needed, but a reformation of the morals and manners of the average tool of the political machine. England has long been face to face with tbis most serious problem and has never been able to solve it. We in thu. country will not find the answer except in the direction indicated. All other hopes ars based on Ballot reform is a cry-jng need of the hour; but it will not effectively come through the work of professional politicians temporarily entrusted with the responsibilities of legislative rwlwer many of them the unworthy rep.

How far are we justifb-d in excluding all outside questions from our active interests? And, still harder, bow shall we decide the division of interests in the home, keeping a loving, firm touch on each? We all see homes and husbands suffer from too much housekeeping. We all know women who perceive no difference between housekeeping and home-keeping. That mto whose wife knows the difference between the two professions, aud chooses to belong to the latter, is a fortunate man. Perhaps no question thai faces a wife is harder to decide than how she shall be a perfect mother and yet a perfect wife. It Is so hard for a mother to educate herself to a little wholesome neglect of her children, that she may be- the companion of their father.

Yet how can a man find companionship in his home if the mother of his children becomes their nurse at the expense of every other duty or pleasure? The saddest experience that can come to any husband or wife is an acquiescent separation, and this experience is lived io too many homes. One, and sometimes both, are looking forward to the time when the first days of their married life will be lived over again; when there will be more money to hire servants, or when the children will be grown. If we could count on tbe future there would be a degree of safety in trusting this future time for happiness. But death, mental growth for one and not for the other, and loss of mental power are the terrible possibilities that stand in the path of that future. Each month, yes, each day, is a link in a chain, or a bar between two souls who are interdependent for their happi ness, responsible for the happiness of all who share tbe borne or house they create A mother who sacrifices her husband's companionship to the el.il that are alike tbe bond and tbe burden of each is not a wie mother; tbe short-sightedness that is at the root of her misconception prevents the clear spiritual perception necessary to the true mother.

The first essential in every home is love, and It is not the quantity in the home, but the quality sod disposition of it, Jtbat makes its happiness. No outer aod visible bond can hold the souls of a husband and wife in unison. Companionship, close and in timate, that has it in the spiritual power to shut out every object in life at times except each other, aod find Heaven and God in those moments, is the only true relation between husband and wife. The children are better loved, more wisely governed, more spiritually trained, when the two souls made one by love are their guardians. That is a home rather than a house where such love is, and the children are nearer perfection when it is a nnited force, not a divided power, that makes the law and light under which they live.
