WIFE AND MOTHER. SWEETEST WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. Influences for Good That They Exercise Upon Us The Real Heroines of the Land. The great majority of men pass un noticed to the grave, leaving no record of the influences for good or evil that have determined the course of their lives. A few, whose distinction entitles them to write of themselves, have re corded with greater or less accuracy and minuteness the forces that have helped to shape their lives, and nearly all of these have paid tribute to the influences of a good mother or to the stimulus to right action derived from a refined and helpful family circle, of which we may be sure the wife and mother was the head. In those auto biographies that treat of childhood's days there is relatively little reference to the influence of the father, it is the watchful mother who trains sons fitted for distinction. And these good mothers are countless; they may be found in every walk of life, but one hears of them only through the biographies of the few whose lives appear to be of such importance as to warrant the relation in print of all the details of their careers. The maternal instincts common to all women may be relied upon to make the wife and mother care for her offspring so long as they are under her direction and control. But there comes a time when the child must look beyond home for lessons required for his proper training. The child is endowed with reasoning faculties, and reason must be cultivated by contact with the outer world as well as in the home circle. It is at this period that the qualities of the wife and mother are put to the test. It is impossible to lay down specific rules, for the con ditions of different households are extremely various, but there is one general principle that should govern all. The family residence should be made a true home, cherished by every member above all places else on earth. She who would be a good mother must be a good wife and home-maker a true helpmate to the husband and father, who, in his turn, should recognize the idea of partnership expressed in the term and do his full share to make the home a place of contentment, rest and true happiness. The idea of a helpmate is truly as old as Adam, for the word is derived from the distorted compound helpmeet. Woman was created to be a helpmeet (that is fit) for Adam, and thence was derived the word helpmeet, more accurately expressed by the modern term helpmate. It is an excellent term because it gives the idea of quality in partnership, and, though the helpmate is specifically the wife, the mutual obligations of the husband are implied in the very idea of one who is to help him. Husband and wife, father and mother are alike required by their relationship to make a true home in which the young are to be reared. In the olden time the father, quite as much as the mother, was charged with the duty of training the young, but with the evolution of society the husband has been made a bread-winner in occupations to which he cannot take his sons as his forefathers did theirs to the chase. The children must be left at home under the care and guidance of the mother, and hence she becomes the controlling influence upon their minds and characters at the period of their lives when they are most impression able. She may readily learn to care for their physical wants and their health, but it is too much to expect that she shall become an expert in training their minds or that she can do more than teach them correct principles of morality. For these services other teachers must be employed, but she can at least make home the centre of pure enjoyment, a shrine to which the pilgrim may return when he passed beyond the age of childhood. It is in the discharge of this pleasant duty that the good woman sheds honor upon the titles of wife and mother. Baltimore Sun. Shut the Door. As the winter season is upon us, it is not an unusual thing to see sigus up reading, ''Please Shut the Door." Well, these signs in some cases, are good things, reminding car -3 peo ple of their duties toward their fellow man. But the principle should not be earned, too far, or the duty of the fellow-man may be looked upon in a wrong light. The signs only refer to the material doors of buildings, and we should not apply the command to the doors of our hearts. If there is any season in which the doors of our hearts should be kept open, it is the winter season. Keep them wide open, fearing fo cold. The sunlight of bright smiles from those helped in their misery and wretchedness will warm you up, and the consciousness of a good deed will give a pleasant glow to your whole being. In these " shut-the-door" days there are many people who are in need of help many that you know of yourself, maybe and if you throw open wide the entrance to your heart, aud see that they have tires, warm clothing aud food during the winter, you will have performed a Christian duty aud, for once at least, will have " shut-the-door" on the demon of selfishness, who chills all with whom becomes in contact.

The same thing may be said of New York, as we have learned from papers on road making we have seen published with reference to the condition there. Gov. Flower so much appreciates the neces sity of better roads for New York that he is writing articles and delivering addresses about it. Some time ago he delivered a very earnest address to the farmers in behalf of good roads at the Orleans County Agricultural meeting. He tried to impress upon them the absolute necessity of having good roads. He told them that instead of being a tax they would put money into their pockets. He said : It has been shown by many statistics and various calculationsthatgood roads are cheaper than bad roads. I tried to show in my annual message to the Legis lature last January that the counties of the State now expend in actual money and in day's labor valued at $1 a day for each inan about $2, 000,000 a year upon their roads, exclusive of the time and money spent on road and street im provement in villages and cities. This is an average of $50,000 for each county. That .amount of money scientifically expended each year would build over seven miles of good macadam road fit a cost of $7,000 per mile. I vent ure to say there is not a county in this State which if it would bond itself for a million dollars and invest the money in the scientific construction of highways would not in five years have increased the valuation of its real estate twice the amount of the investment. But that would be only a small part of the gain. The greater part would bo in the saving of wagon transportation a saving in vehicles, a saving in horses, a saving in time, a saving in labor, a saving in risks, a saving in markets. Every farmer knows that bad roads sometimes keep him from town when prices of grain are high, and thereby cost him a good profit. Every farmer knows how long it takes him to travel over bad roads. Every farmer knows what a considerable item in his annual expense is the repair of wagons aud harness, whose strength and safety have been crippled by bad roads. Every farmer knows how much more it costs to keep three or four horses instead of one or two as he might with equal service with a system of good roads. We make this long extract because it is valuable, is full of sense and truth, and is well worth pondering. We have in our own way tried so often to present the salient features of this most important question, that still remains unsettled, that it is something of an old song with us. The profit of good roads, as well as comfort, is all on the side of the farmer. No outlay can bring to him better returns. It not only will save him much in the end as to money, but it will enhance the value of his real estate and make him much nearer the centres of civilization and the markets. In New York, as we saw stated some months since, the roads were sometimes so bad it was impossible for the children to attend the schools. Better highways are a necessity and it is suicidal to continue in the same, deep, old ruts. Get out of them and build roads that will last for genera tions. Wilmington Messenger. SCOTT GOT THERE. A Good Story on a Tar Heel Editor. Josephus Daniels in one of his newsv Washington letters to his paper the Raleigh North Carolinian, tells the follow ing rich joke at the expense of " Old Man Scott," who like Daniels is holding down a government position at the National Capital. Here it is: Not a great while ago there was given a grand diplomatic reception here which was among the most brilliant ever held in this brilliant city. It was difficult for any one who held a position lower than a member of the House to get a ticket, so great was the desire to attend the re ception. Late in the evening, so the story goes, our friend W. V. Scott, Esq., editor of the Lenoir Topic, who is now, with the assistance of Carlisle, running the Treasury department, went up to the door-keeper and modestly showed a dis position to enter the gay throng and be come one of the real leaders of fashion able society here in the capital city. But the pompous man at the door, not knowing Mr. Scott, had the impudence to demand a ticket before allowing him to enter. Scott had no ticket, and so for a minute he was in a dilemma, but Xorth Carolina grit and cheek came to his rescue. On that very day he had sent his clothes to a Chinese laundry and had a Chinese receipt for the clothes. Now these hyeroglyphic receipts are won derful things to see, and nothingdaunted, Scott pulled out his laundry receipt and handed it to the door-keeper. That functionary inquired: "Member of the Chinese legation?'' Scott answered: "Secretary,' and walked in as if he had been the Mikado. He didn't have any clothes the next wet-k, but what did a little thing like that matter when he had been one of the fashionable throng? Thomas Carl.vle says: "Clothes gave us individuality, distinctions, social polity; clothes have made men of us; they are threatening to make clothes screens of us." Scott may agree with Curly le, and probably does, but all the same he still longs for that Chinese re ceipt for his clothes. Popular Kverywhere. Beginning with a small local sale in a retail store, the business of Hood's Sarsa parilla has steadily increased until there is scarcely a village or hamlet in the United States where it is unknown. To-day Hood's Sarsaparilla stands at the head in the medicine world, admired in prosperity and envied ia merit by thous ands of would-be competitors. It has a larger sale than any other medicine before the American public, and probably greater than all other sarsaparillas and blood pu rifiers combined. Such success proves merit. If you are sick is it not the medicine for you to try ? Hood's Sarsaparilla cures. He who does not advertise is like a fellow riding; a rail across a creek. He does not want to get off nor does he want to stay on, so he just grins and ' endures it. He who does not adver-: tise is like the fellow who sat down j in the mead waiting for the cow to j back up to him to be milked. Chip- j ley Enterprise. ' ONE VIEWJF IT. THE QUESTION OF TARIFF. The South Can Utilize Its Own Raw Material. There is a new and prosperous era awaiting the entire country under tem perate tariff rates, with the raw mate rials of manufacture admitted free. It3 blessings will not be concentrated on any one section, nor be disproportion ately enjoyed by two or three States; they will be diffused with something approaching equality in all sections and to every State. The South will have i:s share of the advantages of the newpolicy, of which free raw mate rials of manufacture is the main feature. What Pennsylvania has been doing under protective tariffs that have been extremely partial, not to say sectional, in the bestowal of their benefits, the South will be able to do under the more just and impartial application of the taxing power 01 the government which is contemplated by the pending tariff bill. Pennsylvania has been buildiug herself up ou the foundation of raw materials the yield of her own mag nificent coal and iron mines. There they are, securely in her own keeping, aud she has fully utilized them. Arouud her prolific mine's she has built steel aud iron works in large numbers aud made herself the centre of a vast sys tem of metallic manufactures which has no parallel in this country or any other. She can well afford to concede free coal and iron to the rest of the country. Her natural advantages in that regard are handicaps enough to every other State in the Union without adding to them the extra burdenof 75 cents a ton toll ou the soft coal for lack of which nearly all the furnace fires of Xew England and California have been extinguished and thousands of their working people deprived of work and wages. This is a question that touches some coal interests in the South as well as in Pennsylvania. But in readjusting the tariff ou lines that are fair and equitable to all sections, States and in terests, something must be conceded aud given up locally here aud there in exchange for the larger beuefits which are to be gained by the Xorth, South, East and West alike. We know that the Southern people do not expect or desire a jug handled revision of the tariff all the benefits and gains on their side. They want the greatest good of all, and they are content to take their proper share in the general improvement in trade and business conditions that will undoubtedly follow a lowering of the present higher than waa tariff rates, and the freeing of those raw materials that are the nec essaries of life to all our manufacturers. The South can utilize its own raw materials as Pennsylvania has done. To-day it is seuding out its great staple product, cotton, to foreign ports, and selling it at extremely low prices, and then buying it back again as manufact ured cotton goods at from four to six times the price at which it sold the raw material thereof. This is as though Minnesota should send all its great product, wheat, abroad and sell it for a song, and then buy it back again as flour at high prices; made higher yet by a "protective" tariff. But Minne sota is wiser than that. She makes her own wheat into flour and sells it all over the world. The South is rich in raw material. Her cotton crop is a splendid basis for a superstructure of manufactures of cotton. The South has. coal and iron of her own too. The freeing of raw materials and the lowering of the ex tortionate tariffs on manufactured goods which have massed manufacturiug en ergy, capital and labor in a few States, and divided the nation, broadly speak ing, into agaicultural and manufactur ing sections, will open out a new vista of diversified industries to the South as well as to other sections that have hitherto been outside the favored circle. The system that has kept one-half the country raising cotton, corn, wheat aud farm products, the selling price of which no tariff, however high, could improve because they had to find their markets abroad aud gave the other half of the country "protection" so excessive that it had the farming class completely at its mercy and charged it whatever it pleased for clothing, carpets, machinery, imple ments aud all other manufactured goods, was aud is manifestly one sided and unjust. The prices of manufact ured goods must accommodate them selves to the free raw material policy. Aud the South, with its cotton crop and other basic elements of manufact uring, has now plainly in sight an op portunity to develop and diversify her industries and enter upon a new and splendid period of growth aud prosper ity, based upon her own abuudaut free raw materials.

Editor Gold Leaf: With your per mission I will try to describe some of the many beauties of California and Lcs An geles. You may insert in the columns of the Gold Leaf if you can find space therefor. It may be of interest to some of your many readers. We reached Los Angeles November 21st, feeling rather tired, but otherwise full of expectancy. A trip across the continent is full of interest and variety to one who beholds this vast expanse of territory for the first time. Nothing can give such a vivid impression of thegreat ness of this land, nor is there a journey which can be taken in North America which presents so much of interest to the tourist. Our trip through Louisiana and Texas was very interesting. We saw large sugar plantations and im mense herds of cattle on every hand. Through Mexico and Arizona, along the line of the Southern Pacific Railroad is mostly mountain scenery and rather un interesting until we commenced the de scent of the Sierra mountains in Califor nia. Here the scenes instantly change and we see on every hand beautiful val leys in a high state of cultivation ; im mense fields of grain and thousands of acres of oranges, lemons and grapes, the orange and lemon trees being loaded with fruit. As we approach Los Angeles we gaze upon a scene of entrancing beauty; mountain girdled, garden dotted city, we gratefully decide that we have arrived at a point where we would be pleased to stop, and while we bask in the sunshine, gaze at the mountain peaks, breathe the fragrance of the flowers or listen to the mocking birds, we unite in thanks to the kindly fate which led our steps to Southern California' and the "City of Angels." No city in the LTuited States can boast of such rapid growth and improvement. Within the last 8 years it has grown from a town of 10,000 to a most beautiful city of 75,000 people. Thousands have come to Los Angeles and California simply to pay a visit, but soon become charmed with its wonderful climate and beautiful surroundings to such a degree that they conclude to re main in this land of sunshine and flowers. A day's ride over the lovely country sur- rounding Los Angeles, through miles of long, straight avenues ot orange trees : tent the raising of supply crops. I he and thousands of acres of vineyards see- j mortgage system was hailed as a bless ing every kind of semi-tropical fruit 1 . 9 P 1 , growing side by side with the more hardy : inS " has Pv"d a curse, variety, both being in the greatest pro- j Brother farmers, extricate yourselves fusion and of the finest quality will con- J from this grasp, close up with your viuce the traveller from almost any part j merchant. You had better pay eight of the earth that here is surely the para-1 , . dise of America if not the world. There ; Per cent- on what you owe, than re are beautiful parks within the city aud ; main in its clutches. Borrow a little the ocean can be reached in an hour's drive. It is difficult for one accustomed to the varying seasons of the lands across the mountains to comprehend the fact that this land with its luxuriant vegetation, its delicate and vari-tinted flowers, is never less verdant, less beau tiful or less attractive than it is now.

J Agriculture is the great lever power that moves the machinery of all the j world the foundation upn which all governments rest. This has ever been recognized, by the most eminent persons ot all nations and climes. Oppression of the agriculural classes has caus -d the fall of nations. It may be attributed to the fall of Rome, 1 usurpation of the British throne by j Oliver Cromwell. In 1664 it caused ! the French Revolution and abdica- j tion of Louis XVIII, King of France, ' and his flight to England and inau gurated the reign of terror in 1S47. ; In countries under a republican form ; of government it changes the political parties.

Under re- I publican rule trusts and combinations were formed knowing to be oppres sive and unconstitutional. At the close of the late war, the North was flooded with money seeking invest ments. The South was destitute and a field for operations. Millions of dollars were offered to the merchants of the South, taking as security a lien on the cotton crop. Self preservation is the first law ot nature, the merchant to secure himself against loss, as a rule required 20 acres of cotton planted to the horse. This increased acreage, raised the supply aDove tne , demands, and stopped to a great ex- money for prospective crops, pay cash, raise your supplies at home and have your cash crop clear. In a few years you will be out of debt. Your mer chants will realize the true principal of trade small profits and quick re turns. The nimble nickle is better than the slow "quarter."
