Out now, at last, let us condo to the tea " dangerous girl !"-the girl who poems by some fine fitness to walk into the empty room in a man's heart which Nis never been opened to another wo- olen, and take up her abode there. ▪ She is just as high as my heart," or - undo says of Rosalind, and there can be no more accurate measurement for lover's delight m his sweetheart. She fis him, she suits him. She may not peaty, she -need not be clever; she leisy be both of these things in a re- enirkable degree, and a ball -room belle beside, and a chefd'atuvre of milliner's art in the bargain. But she has a gift oyer and beyond all these which ren- ders all others subordinate. She has a of listening which makes the most eraY eserwed man eloquent, and her little epeecheS, never audacious and rarely brilhant, have yet something tenaci- we about them, and cling to his mem- ory when he sits over his fire by night or goes about his daily work. Then her face, her dietinct and vivid personality, pursues him; it is the gid herself, not her bangles nor her flounces, that he remembers. It seems natural to him that he is thus taken possession of and held captive. No matter how cold he may have been heretofore, he now -becomes ardent, warm-hearted tiaad ruJi. He may have admired a pretty, girl with her furbelows and flounces, and her nice perception of the most be- coming ; he may have been a little hoavy-laearted over the stimptnous beauty of the belle, and have enjoyed the society of the clever gid who saved him the trouble of doing all the talking, being able to do it hersaf so much more brilliantly. But this hankering after Private felicity, this fervid belief in at. tainable happiness, this large faith in the future which marriage may assure to him, only followed hie acquaintance with the "dangerous girl" who upset his boasted ideas of independent enjoy- ment, overturned all his preconceived notions of bachelorhood, and set him longing to be enga.ged. Until he saw her, he said with the Benedict : " One woman is fair, yet I am well; another is wise, yet I am well; another virtuous, yet I am well; but till all graces come into one woman, one woman shall not come into ray graee." Indoor Conveniences. In this warra weather all indoor work should. be lightened as much as possible by the aid of all modern ma- chinery which tends to save manual la- bor. Every well-managed farm has its improved implements and machinery; its barn planned for ease of work as well as comfort of . stock. The era of improved implements for cooking, etc., is not yet fully reached. It willcome in time, however, and meanwhile much can be done to lighten household toil. Have the stove in an outsidekitcheu, and have plenty of air blowing about, with blinds as curtains to keep out the san's fierce rays; there should be water plenty, and near by; have the best washing machines and churns. Dry wood. should be at hand when needed. A little lift for any heavy work from a strong man is only the . woman's right. Mutual thoughtfulness and kiuduess will keep their ends even, and thus hus- band and wife can bear one another's burthens. The celebrated Dr..Miller tells us in his lectures that woman has a finer and more susceptible organization than man; that in one the nerves preponder- ate, in the other the coarser muscles. Under the impulse of this nerve force woman can do things which surprises herself ; but the reaction is severe and trying, prostrating the tenergies in a way that surprises and even vexes men who do not understand this. Buoyed eap by wifely and motherly love, won- drous indeed is woman's endurance; but it is well to remember that ceaselesa watches at night, and. constant duties by day, are too much to be long,- sus- tained. So far, then, as means likely allo w, have kitchen appendages to keep pace in conveniences with hay mo* and nice stabley and patent reapers. That's fair, and. tfair play is a jewel." With all these outward helps, and with a spirit of thoughtful affection on all sides, ev- erything will go along smoothly. There is a good. deal of busy and. try- ing housework in a farm house; but, at the same time there are many pleasant compensations. In the long summer afternoons, with work done until night comes, the quiet rooms and pure air, fragrant with the sweet breath of roses, how pleasant the rest! No din and dirt of city streets, but the green grass, pleas- ant and grateful shade trees, broad fields and plenty of blue sky. It is no Marvel that so much of the noblest womanhood comes from the hirm houses, for there is w ork, self-help, simple tastes tinged. with nature's del- icate hues, and for some quiet thought and the healthful growth of the soul. Decorative Wives. There are and have been a number of !rinds of wives from the earliest period of which there are any accounts. 'Thera for instance was Job's wife, and Abra- ham's wife, and. Lot's wife, and the wives of Ulysses, and of Menelaus, which have each been placed at the head of categories of their own, but we have now a new kind, named " The Decorative Wives," which the New York Times has taken up and thus de - Scribes: This is an era of superabundance grown necessary, of luxury, of number- less artificial wants. We need, �r rather we wish, for the showy more than the substautial,-for that which - We concei‘-e to be elegant in preference to the merely. comfortable. Therefore it is that decorative wives are in such request, and have their proper place in every home pretending to be in any way fashionable. Men of means and tastes often want hoines where they can create social reputation's by exercising boun- teous hospitality, and., as home without a wife is inismemed, they require a wife in order to execute their purpose fitly. They are neither Arcadians nor senti- mentalists. Spirtual need, hunger of the heart, passion for companionship, is not theirs. They do not know what those fine terms mean. All they lack ill au imposing piece of animated furni- ture that wilr be in keeping with its en- compassments,-a woman, in short, who can do the honors of a well -arrang- ed household, and. reflect lustre on her husband. She is quietly, though dili- gently, sought until found, and duly re- moved, after an ostentatious wedding, to -the elegant establishment she is ex- pected to adorn. Nor does she general ly defeat expectation. She cornpre hands fully ber new position, and prove herself adequate to it. She has bee elected to be decorative, and decorativ she resolves to be. What a number of decorative wive there are in society, especially in tha which assumes to be our best, -and i is all the best! Cheap satirists rail a them ; they are treated in epigrams they are lectured, impersonally, for their worldliness. But why should they be? They please their husbands, -they perform their part of the con- tract; they are the radiant centre to which all their surroundings lead and are toned -up. No one can say that they do no harmonize admirably with the Turkish rugs, Venetian mirrors, .frescoed.ceilings, delicately -tinted walls rosewood tables, handsome pictuenS, beautiful vases, and the curious bric-a- bracethey are environed by. To all their husband's guests they are most cour- teous and gracious. They never speak a werd too much ; they never do a su- perfluous thing ; their moods and -man- ners are matrimonally exact. They may not move or delight, but they never offend; and the many who meet and associate with them are ,quick to say that they are charming women, -a eocial phrase which denotes that their own self-love respects the self love of others. Every part of their decorative duty they discharge; they are social artists, .and are perfectly aware where light is needed and shadow is most ef- fective, what shades of color will blend, and when boldness of handling is re- quired. A G-ood Word. for the Mule. We have been told that the best horse on the farm is the mule.- To this doctrine we subscribe in full. There never wag a worse misrepresented or more abuse& animal than the mule. Barring some ecccentricities that nature seems to have endowed him with, when you get down to business -hard, unremitting, never-ending work; when you have got heavy loads to pull, through sticky mud, where it is neces- sary that pullers should stretch them- selves against a dead load. -pull the very life out of themselves, even if the load. never stirs, no jumping or rearing, no plunging or nervous action, but just an honest, hard effort to do all that is in him -commend us to the humble mule. There is nothing deceitful about this long-eared gentleman. He is in favor of fair play -no flank movements on him. His rear is sacred soil, and he allows no trespasses in that direction; depressing the banners on his head in fair warning before he strikes. It is true that, if abused, he will get even if he has to wait through long patient years to get a good. square kick at you. This you should have known at first. How is it with the horses? Put two of them to the wagon and drive afield for a load of corn. Load up until the wheels settle in the mud, and how are you going to get out? First. a tolerably fair pull is made at it ; then begins that see -sawing, first one and theu the other at- the traces, ending in rearing and plunging, accompanied by showers of profanity and a general breaking up itll around. Put mules in that wagon, and some- thing has got to come. If the first pull does not bring it, give them a little rest to gather up their energies and. look out for a steady pull thee will make things crack. A mule's teeiper is adapted . to this kind of work. He is slow, stub- • born and deternaiiie I, so that whou he does make up his mind to do a thing he is sure to do it. He is not only a good puller but a good stopper. When he is tired he is going to rest, and you might as well let him de it. Turn 'him out and let him have a good roll, and he is as fresh as ever. His body rarely tires -he only wants a little men- tal diversion. He is liable to scare on the road, and sometimes makes up his mind to run way. Then look out for he is sure to make a first-class job of it. • The Bernhardt Fever. "Hello, Sara!" remarked the Duke of Edinburgh to Madame Bernhardt, in the free and easy manner for which he is so distinguished; "what have you done with the h belonging to the first half of your name?" "Sere," replied the actress, a shade of annoyance crossing her classic pun.- tenance, "I have -dropped heem. I ob- serve, sere, Zat your countrymen have great needof heem. Ze soopply of dat leetle lettere is varee leeneited in , zis coontry.. I geeve heem oop to you, sare." "Oh, very well," said the Duke, blush- ing with surprise; "but you needn't make such a deuced fuss about it. I don't care much about it, anyhow." The Prince of Wales Was equally un- fortunate in a recent passage of words with the great actress. "Well, my dear," he said familiarly, "and how are we now ?" "Your b-b-r-revet Majestee," replied. the lady, at a loss for ' the proper title by which to address the Prince, "is too keind. I zink you eenvite me to have vot you call contempt for mine- -self." "Not at all, not at all," -said the Prince warmly. "You're just as good as I am, you know. Don't lower your- self, I beg of you. It's all right." . eBut, sare," replied the radiant crea- ture, snapping her eyes, "you mistake. I zink you eenvite contempt for yourself, too. I allude to zat farailiaritee which breed sooch dings." "Oh !" said the Prince, whistling soft- ly to himself. "By Jove! I must go out and see somebody." The lady is really as aggressiVe as a snapping turtle. Lord Beaconafield ad- vanced to her, hat in hand and with a sweet smile on his countenance, "I re- joice to see you here," he said patroniz- ingly. "The English people are ;always glad. to recognize genius, no matter in what shape or from what quarter it may come. Accept their . homage, my dear Madame -accept their hom- age." "Vat you know of ze English peo- ples ?" enquired Madame Bernhardt, sharply. " H'm 1" replied his Lordship with a deep blush. "1 may say, perhaps, that I represent them to a certain extent. They are mine, as one might say; by adoption. But come, come, Madame! Let us not have words. Be amiable, my dear, be amiable.* "I see," replied. the lady, her coun- tenance suddenly becoming rosy with joyful surprise, "I see. Zose raven THE I4URON EXPOSITOR. kicks are false.

"Drat it!" exclaimed i his Lordship 'with uncontrollable chagrin. "This comes of wearing that new wig and putting on airs. 1 bid you good -day, Madame. I have to prepare a docu- nient for thb signature of Her Majesty: the Queen.' . erhese are a few of themany anec- otes regarding the greatactress and' er English friends at present floating rough the London and Paris press, and as they were taeen oil the spot they are perfectly aceurate. . I. Catching a W e on the Fly. M. C. Shakespear, , a farmer residing in the northwestern part of Michigan, and possibly a dista t relative of the renowned bard of t at name, called on the Rev. J. H. Ric ey, in Detroit, at two o'clock one a ternoon lately, and stidi. arson, do you now all the ladies " in the Waco ?" "No," replied Mr. Richey, "I don't know half of them." 1"Do you know a widow lady named Mrs. Ward, who is employed in the family of Dr. McGregor ?" i"I have not," said Mr. Richey, "the hdnor of her acquaintance; but why do y8u ask?" . "Well," said Mr. Shakespeare, "I don't know her either; never saw her in my life; but thinking he maybe you knew all about her, I thought I'd cdrae mid ask you. I'm thinking about marrying her." . 111 should think," remarked Mr. Richey, "that you would refer that mat- ter to the lady herself." "I will, so I will," said. Mr. S., "but not till I have first seen Dr. McGreg- or," and so saying, he turned and walk- ed away. About three-quarters_ of an. hour later in the day Mr. Shakespeare again stood in the 'presence of Mr. Richey. "I've seen Dr. McGregor," said he, "and he says he's known the lady 16 years, and she's all right." Then ex- Oting from M. Richey a promise that he would remain in his office a 'little While,' Mr, S. walked off, saying he would 'call on the lady.' :And he did. " It's all right, parson," said he on walking into Mr. Richey's ,office less thau an hour afterwards. "I've seen the lady, and she says it's all right. Quick as I cau get a pair of li- censes I want you to go up and tie the knot." At 4:20 o'clock M. C. Shakespeare was married to Miss Nancy Ward, the Rev. J. H. Richey officiating, and the newly -wedded pair left at once for their rural home. Mr. Shakespeare has a good farm, and is well able to make his wife comfortable. Mrs. Shakespeare is a good housekeeper, and is otherwise well qualified to make him a good wife. Two hours and twenty neinutt'es, dating from the moment the would-be bride- groom's first inquiries were made, is the precise time occupied in the accom- plishment of this alliance. The origin- al Shakespeare never imagined anything half so expeditious, his nearest approach to it being: She is fah' and may be wooed; Woman, and may be won. • The Conversations of Women. There can be no doubt that, as a rule, the readiness of women in conversation is much greater then that of men. It ie when they have nothing to say that women show their immense superiority in saying it. They can create conver- sation, which is the great social difficul- t. Give a man a subject that he knows anything about, and unless he is really a fool or morbidly reticent, he can talk about it so as to make himself fairly intelligible, and perhaps inter- eting, to those for whom the subject th.s any interest. But the power of c'onversation in some women, and not 1 always those 1 of remarkable ability, is tae very art Of ;making bricks without straw. They wili talk to one by the lour about nothing-ethat is, on no par- ticular subject an4 with no particular object -and talk coherently and not foolishly, and very pleasantly, all the time. It would be very difficult, per- aps, for the listener to carry away With 'm any mental notes of what has been sb.id e he may not be conscious of hay - i g had his old ones muchenlarged ; but he will rise and go his wily as one after a light aud wholesome meal, sen- sibly cheered and' refreshed. • Varieties. -A man named Wm. Hurd, has pitched his gospel tent in Norwich, Conn. It haa,seating capacity for 50,- 000. The general arrangements are like those of a circus. The parade in the streets exhibited gaudily painted wagons. A strong antipathy to the en- terprise is shown by liquor dealers, and the destruction of the tent by fire or riot is feared. 1 -Louise, Victoria and Maud, the young daughters of the prince of Wales, rarely appear in public in any but the 1 simplest of dresses. They are some- times seen with their Mother at the theatre in plain white linen or cotton sailor dresses, with a little red trim- ming, and they are often met riding and driving in neat sailor dresses of dark blue woollen. They went with their f tiler and mother to the recent French fIir in gowns of plain pink. eambric, iidth sashes of crimson harmonizing Niith the pink. • Errs's docoA.-Grateful and conafort- ing.-" By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the opera- tions of digestion and. nutrition, and by Eicareful application of the fine proper- ties of well selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has prOvided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavored. beverage, which May save usmany heavy doctor's bills. r is by thejudicioustise of such articles of diet that a constitution may be grad- nally built up until strong enough to re- slst every tendency to disease. • Hun- dreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point.
