WHAT MEN NEED WIVES FOR.
It is not to sweep tho houe, and make
tho bed, and darn the socks, and cook
the meals, chiefly, that a man wants a
wife. If this is all he needs, hired help
can do it cheaper than a wife. If this is
all, when a young man calls to see a young
lady, send him into the pantry to taste
the bread and cakes she has made ; send
him to inspect the needlawork and bed
making, or put a broom into her hands,
and send him to witness its use. Such
things ore important, and the wise young
man will quietly look after them. .
But what a true man most wants of a
true wife is her companship, sympathy,
courage and love. Th way of life has
many dreary places in it, and men needs
a companion to go with him. A man is
sometimes overtaken with misfortune ; he
meets with failure and defeat; trials and
temptations beset him. and he needs ono
to stand by and ayropathizs. He hai some
stern battles to fight with poverty, with
enemies, and with sis, and he needs a wo
man that, while he puts his arms around
her and feels that he has something to
fizht for, will help hitn fight ; that will
put her lips to hit ears and whisper words
of counsel, and her hands to his heart and
impart new inspiration. All through
life throush storm and through sun
shine, conflict and victory, through ad
verse and favoring winds man needs a
woman's love. The heart yearns for it.
A sister's or a mother's love will hardly
supply the need.
You may peek for nothing further than
success in housework. Justly enough,
half of those get nothing more ; the other
half surprised beyond measure, have got
ten more than they sought. Their wives
surprised them by bringing a nobler idea
of marriage, and disclosing a treasury of
courage, sympathy, and love .Beecher.

On Monday, the 23d of February, Mrs. Sa
rah L. Smith, wife of Mr. Jessee K. Smith, of
East Stroudsburg, Pa.
Mrs. Smith was born the 20th of May, 1823,
at Moravia, Cayuga Co., N. Y. She was the
daughter of the liev. Geo.Taylor, who was pastor
of the Presbyterian Church of Moravia, for 17
years. Her parents both died when she was
young. But in her orphanage, she went to
our Heavently Father, pleading His promise
"Those that seek me early shall find me," and
at the age of 14 the Lord gave her a new heart.
From that time until her departure to the
Ettter Land, phe was a most earnest christian.
And her last days were blesisedly and joyously ,
fpent in a very precious revival of religion, in
which several, for whose, salvation she toiled
and prayed, were converted to Chrir-t.
In the midst of this glorious work,
work, our Itc-
deemer came to her, saying "Ilise up, my
love, mv fair one. and come away." And with
perfect submission to the Divine will she passed
away from earth, testifying that Jesus was pre
cious to her soul. Is not such a triumphant
and happy death, worth seeking and living
for? She U indeed a great and very sensibly
felt loss to the Presbyterian Church of Strouds
burg. of which she was a member. But we re
joice that we, who trust in, love and lollow
Christ, will meet her again in me rungaom vi
glory where all the ransomed people of God
will dwell forever with Jesu.
