FROM*TH£RELU j s * BV INNOCENCE ABROAD * I bave tramped the streets of W'ax ahachie, bated my delicate frame mround stoves this cold weather since Christmas till I am tired. Too Lunch cold weatber and too much dry weath er to suit the farmers and this acostle. I thought last summer daring thai hot dry spell that I was too far south and now it looks litre I am too far north, but we most not complain at the weather; the fact is, a man ought not to stop long enough to complain, but do oar dutv and trust to a kind and good providence for results and all will be well with us My better half ! owns one of the finest milk cows in VVasahscbie and during this long cold > *peil, she bss tsoubt me to churn, |c«-rrht!g! cerohug!' The fact is I Kincier uke the work, au<i then eke ' brags on me when I work faithful and make a good boy out of myself. Tne good worn» η of the land, God bless I them, need more help from we men than tbey usually get. When my wife reproves me for not doing more ! about the house. I teil her a fellow ! who aets the hens and prck^too mucn about the house is n> good at aov thing else, but we ought to cut the wood, mate tires and do a thousand οι h» r little things to help our good wi»es, that, I am afraid, a grrat many of us tail to do. As »iil Arp says. I have beeu ruminating about this bus iness i-ince my wife put nie to churn ing and I myself for one of these de linquent felluws. In end to turn over a ne» leaf and mske mjself a little useful and not quite » j ornementât a' I have heretofore bven.

Tbie cold disagreeable freezing weather no del icately constituted man can stand to face it to nucit the voter* and to the strong, robust candiuares. this is all right for him, just gives him a good appetite. I outcberen that turkey and devoured him long ago, and this cold sp«dl I also butchered a fat pig my better half bad been feeding, and what I am doing to him is a plenty, but soon that will all be gone and then the neighbor* do get migtity tired bringing in thing* when I stay at home so long as 1 have this time.
