The smile' that dispatches one into the jseventU heaven of delight will bring a contemptuous sneer oyer : the countenance of a surlier neighbor. . The man who can adapt his manners to suit two men of opposite tastes would, per haps, make a good valet if his master could take time to watch him. There is only one thing mora difficult in the world than to please , a collection of mixed types of people, and that is to please one's husband. ' ' - As a rule making allowances for the psual three, or several, . exceptions a married man is a discontented man, and . often as selfish as only the higher ani- mals can be. The lover who sighed "like A furnace "over his sweetheart's celestial pees, after the fatal "leap in the dark," develops into a private groaner." The rpslizfLiinn rf liia rlronnia tut diuimnninf,. ingas the first gUmj)SQ of tfie. Niagara Falls, but as the grandeur of these mighty cataracts grows on one's mind, the resemblance most emphatically endd liore. It is not the feeling of possession that Bits so heavily on his soul: it is tho - eeliag of being possessed by another. ' JJow is the time to balance up and check ve with himself his own virtues. Be fore marriage nis leisure nours were taken up in keeping long lists of new beauties (about CO to the minute) of that 0D only wonderful woman on record, whom marriago has diminished 100 "per cent, more or less, .

' . : For a few weeks , after jnarriage there still may be roticel a few traces of tho olden time compliments, which are al ways so dear to " them foolish wimin fok," but the interrogative note that ac companies them is responded to by a smothered little sigh, in many a wife's ' heart,'. -" . - ' '-" ""''."" iWhat woman can smile sweetly as 6ho listens ' to her husband's "criticism of her, unless , she has the happy faculty . or knack'' of deafening her ears whenever slto likes, and can recall, at A moment's pottco, a vivuj iancy picture or uesenp- tion of herself which her lover once dedi cated in tears to her then superior high ness, arousing in her sensations of de lighted pride, second best to nothing in tho world? .. . jtnd now I would say to tho women who recognize certain traits of their jwn husbands in this article, on the differ ences between the celibate and the mar Tied man, since to please your husbands 7ilons is almost out of the question, tho next, best thing is to please him by pleasing yourselves. 14 How?" you will ask, A sensiblo woman must pever .'make herself miserable by sitting down and brooding over the thought that she has left mora love behind her than the present or the future will "ever bring. Jibe must steer against exaggerating her "wrongs" and always try to bo cheerful. 3he must take for granted that life wan jicver intended to be one Jong honoy " moon for her. ' She must get" quickly used to the "matrimonial flialosue. " the hnsbfcnd's part of which is so frequently - punctuated with "-exclamatory and de clamatory addresses to the residents of tho places above the earth and sometimes to tli residents of the places beneath tho earth, whichever the case may be, Sho must always tell herself-wim press It thor oughly on her mind that she still , loves her husband. That is the secret of re maining a comparatively happy woman. A woman should not interpret every ap parently disagreeable remark literally. She must not loso faith in the sweet thought that instead of having that undo ; ir&blo possession, a grumbling husband, uho ha really only in tho possession of a mild prevaricator. - A woman must cul tivate her capacity for making excuses for her husband, if she would bo happy herself. - ": ; r' Jffever insist upon the irrefutability of tha proofs of your opinions as against his "If you do not want a sore head lor your husband, aod at the same tiine1!.-: -ptoil. - velop in him qualities which are euro to Ittftke liinjomost uacomfortnUe jKU'piOf ... in 'tho ..government of domestic life. A woman who can prove facts to bo facta is neither a desirable, nor a companion able wife to live with. At least this is the silent verdict of most men, though they would all strenuously deny that they were not open to conviction from any source, and, of course, etc., etc. All wives have heard these declarations of an entire freedom from all prejudices whatsoever. There is one fault which I am afraid I must confess is common to both Boxes, and I can not refrain from remarking right here that this is the queerest world of men and women J. ever knew, . Inci- dentally I may also actd I have never known any other world but this. Many people have the habit of speaking in glowing terms of their friends and rela tives, this excessive ' admiration always being aroused after one has "been and gone and done it ; " before marriage they detested all their relatives, and only com parison brings out their , attractive quali ties. The woman, who, after, reading this article, intends to start out the expedition of pleasing herself in the way , above referred to, must sacrifice, this lit tle pet fault ; and by acquiescing in her husband's views, whether they are con sistent or not, never failing to appear agreeable and cheerful, in time will havo the satisfaction of knowing that he has become so reconciled to his "chains" that he will . miss you whoa she is gono. , Grace Helen Eaton, in Detroit Free ' Press. . , ' .

Of all the charming surprises that await he globe trotting traveler in Japan, tho quaintest, the most picturesque, the most captivating will be found in the by streets, where, the little - kimonoed chil dren romp and play as children must all the world over. Here wo find them play ing games varying but 'little from thoso we safe fa our streets at liome-Mbattledoro and shuttlecock, bounce ball.liop scotch, etc.' The games arc familiar enough. But the children! Nothing short of actual acquaintance can convey any correct idea of the charm attached to them, No doubt at first much of this charm is connected with ; their : picturesquo cos tumfJ, with the variety of coloring iu their flyaway; .-kimonos and broad, obis or sashes,: and it may, perhaps, Jio in tho fact and it strikes one humorously at first that each child ia in appearance a miniature adult; for, with the trifling exception of the broad tucks at the shoul ders, its dress is the same as that of a grown person. And it is odd and de lightfully quaint to see these chubby lit tle men and women, . many . with still smaller and chubbier samples of human ity on their backs, frolicking in tho hearty enjoyment of children's fun, ' But there is also a charm in tho littlo creatures themselves, apart from their butterfly sleeves and little fritter patter clogs"; their plump cheeks show a ruddy glow beneath tho olive skin a striking contrast to tho. 6allow Chinese, Their, niouths aro almost invariably well shaped, often exaggerating the admired Cupid's "bow, and their flashing black pye3, sjKirk- ling under the peculiarly sharp fold of the upper lid, give a delicious piquancy -J to the baby face. Tha masses of black j hair are often - elaborately arranged, and ) ornamented with wisps of spangled colored crepe and sprigs of artificial flowers, when they adorn the heads of little girls i 'while the bo'3 are either Shaved as fancifully .as any poodle, oi j trimmed to something like a mop. Their ; little faces are brimming over with fun . and good temper. The Japanese are said to be . the most, childish of the human race. I am sure the Japanese bo's and girls are the most childlike of all Children ; " and how surprisin ly good they ' are! Naughtiness is almost unknown. I havo spent hours watching them in the streets, 1 in school, ct work, or at play, and very . rarely have I seen a quarrel. Some dis- Sousion may arise, and for af moment one expects chubby iist3 to come in contact with chubby heads; but an innate sense of humor is with them a stronger passion than pugnacity, and tho threatening thunder clouds burstin a rain of laughter. , By what golden spell do . the Japanese v parent! control their children ? By what magic do they command the willing , obedience which is a notable characteris tic in these little people ? Certainly not by coercion nor by piuiishment. I havo been "slumming " for over a year in all parts of Japan, and never once. liavo I Been a child slapped or shaken, and I, have been told by European teachers in native schools that punishments are very rare and discipline very easy to main tain, ' :'r: , '. Rapidly, cheap German clothing is driving away the classic kimono.

The old miner, full of cherished mem ories of that wonderful past, on revixitiag the scenes of his early labors sees no wind ing line of 'miners by the river marge, with their rattling rockers or long toni3 ; no smoko from camp fire or chimney nviKe from tho doptha vt the gorges; r;.' i. aro gone; iioLiuft'ltrr or .

Gone are most of tho oaks and pines from the mountain sides; tho bed3 of the riv ers are covered deep with thd accumu lated debris of years, over which the wa ter, once clear and cold from the melting cnows of the Sierra, goes sluggishly, laden with mud, in serpentine windings from bank to bank. On the table land above, in the chasms made by hydraulic power in the pleiecene drift, the hollow columns of iron that once compressed the water stand rushing away in a captured fort ress. All is silence and desolation whero once was the roar of. water and the noise of busy life. Tha same red and brown soil is beneath your feet, the same alter nation of ridges and gorges is here, the Bame skie3 unflecked by clouds from May to November aro overhead; the samo pure air. is left to breathe in spite of courts and monopolies ; a considerable portion of the soil is cultivated ; scattered here and there over the mountain slopes are flowers and fruits but the early miner sees it all with the sad belief that the glory is gone.

The first bid was $600. . .He could only congratulate himself that . his taste was not bad, though his judgment needed correction.

One of Nat Goodwin's Joke. Nat Goodwin is not only funny on the stage, but he is very funny in private life. He is a jokist, as Artemu3 Ward would say.' Here is one of his practical jokes. f-A party of friends went over to Philadelphia from - New York to see hini act, and Nat got a dinner .out of-them in this way; The talk had been led by Mr. Goodwin imperceptibly to - conjuring tricks with cards. Nat said ho could do something in that line hiniself, and call ing a waiter asked him to bring a new pack of cards, which the waiter did. "Now, "said Js&t Goodwin, "I am not like the ordinary conjurers; I will not touch the cards at all. Just open tho pack And shuffle them." One of the men did so. : .. . . "You," he said to another, "pick out o card and show your friend what it is, " ' This was also done. .... "Put the card in the. middle of tho pack," said Goodwin, "and shuffle." This being accomplished, Nat Goodwin said to one of the men t "What day of tho month were you born on? w . "The 16th," said the man. JJVVery well," said Goodwin, "just take 15 cards off that pack and you'll find the sixteenth card the one you picked put." "Oh, impossible," replied tho crowd. "Very well, then," said Nat, "J will bet you a dinner on it. "; So the dinner was bet and the cards were picked off the pile, and sure enough the ace of spades came up, which every one declared was the card that had been picked out, I . The party was literally amazed at thin trick of conjuring, because Nat Goodwin had not touched the cards during the whole time; and as the man who was to pay for the dinner was the one who said he was born on the sixteenth of the month, of course there was no collusion with him. When asked to explain how it was done, Nat said it was very simple if you gave your mind to conjuring. All he had done was to give the waiter a pack of cards before he came in, which pack was done up as if it were a new set of cards, then turning the back face up ward he showed them that every card in the pack was an " ace of spades so, of course, it did not make any difference whether the seventeenth or twenty seventh card was picked out, it was euro to be the ace of Bpadeg. One of ttie pleasant thir -i about enn Sor U the ease with v. hv-h it mar be niitut1 to fit our noig;b. i , Xi w York PUT OF THE RUTS, , Wilmington Star, - There are portions of tha old world where the ground is ploughed and seed rovd dov just as it was dose two thousand years ago. Where the railroads and the telegraph have not gono as missionaries of progress and civilization the countries are .practically the same that they were two -thousand years or more ago. They are in the ruts so deep that they never will anl never can get oat of them by themselves. The average man ii in some respects like some animals of the lower order. lie foL lows in the beaten path although it might have been originally started by accident, or by some one who wasn't exactly-, certain where he was going when he started it." Some wild animals follow the : bciten path that leads Jo the Hprings or rivers frost which they slake their thirst, and the anl. mala that prey upon tbeoi knowing this lay in ambush for them there and take them by surprise. " Cuttle, s ine, sheep on range or pasture, do the . same. It is a sort of common instinct. As men travel in paths so they travel in rats, aud perhaps it is the same instinct which leads - them iuto the beaten path that leads and keeps so many is the ruts. . In the non progressive countries, where the people have but few (Aspirations and but Utile to hope or live for, and where they are content if they get enough to eat and wear, it don't make so much difference about their being in the ruts, for they ere all in them, but in the progressive countries where the ruts are not so deep and where the more hustling spirit gets out of them, the fellow thht stays in is going to get left in the race that he mut make with the hustler. ' , ,v,'. . Why Is it that the cotton planters of the South pert is t year after year in raising cot ton, and more cotton, whether it pays or not ? Simply becanso they . Lave got into the rut and haven't so far made any deter, mined effort to get. oat, The farmer of the West is in a rnt, too. . He raises year after year wheat, oats aud corn, and raises more of them than there is any market for unless something extraordinary happens to take his surplus, as is the case in tha short grain crop in Europo this year. '.. Bat he can't very well help travelling in his rnt, Ar wheat, oats and corn arc about all he can raise to any great extent. . , The Southern farmer hasn't this excuse for travelling in the rut, for there are num erous things that he could raise, in addition to cotton, for which he would find a ready and profitable market. This has beeu demonstrated in the the peach culture and melon cuhuro in Georgia, in tbe grape, peach and berry and Irish potato and tobac co culture in Eastern North Carolina, all raised on land once devoted to cotton. ; Tho manufacturer who makes a line of goods which is made by many has much competition, and must be - satisfied with small profits. So the farmer who raises what the thousands of other farmers raide must run the risk of au overstocked market and be content with what he caa get out of it. Tho niitnufacturer who makes some, thing for which there is a ,deinnd. and which few make stands a fair chance of realizing something for his goods, aud so the farmer who raiees something for which there U a demaud and which Jew others raise stands a fair chax.ee of realizing some thing for the product of his acres. - There are men in Eastern North Carolina who have realized more money from a few act ae otliish Potatoes, strawber ien or tobacco, than their neighbors who have stuck ia the rut and stack to cotton will realize from r)l) acres of cotton. Of course if everybody got to raibing tobacco, Irish potatoes, this would not be no for the market would be overstocked and the chance for profit destroyed. There are dozens of things for which there is a ready market which Southern farmers could raioe without lunger of glut, ting the marke t and upon which they qould realize many times as mach money as they can from cotton. There is nut culture, which very few have thought of ; the black berry, which cultivated and improved would become very popular ; hops, ; for which there is always a market ; ramie, for which there a growing demand;, figs, which grow luxuriantly and which dried would find a ready market : crapes, for raisins, and pi mice, to be dried, and per. bimmon which trows wild iu our forests for the exclusive use of the 'possum which appreciates it, Some y-ars gi a Guilford count) man as an experiment dried a barrel of persimmons thinKrg that he might pos sibly find fttle f.r lacm ia Greensboro. Failing in thiis, ftt the wg. stion cf a friend, lie shipped the barrel to a nurehaot io HL LouU, who sold them as N nth Carolina dates, and after deducting his commibSion remitted to tbe Guilford county mu $30. We do not intend to glorify the persimmon, of which tbe 'possum baa a monopoly, but we refer to itiu connection' with otuer things which apparently escape at teation, and how they my be made profitable.
