Very Choice Stanzas. . Madam, put this in your Husband's rock et Book. Speak kindly, gently to thy wife, Sho knows enough of sorrow ; Oh, seek not from each potty ill, An angry word to borrow. For in her heart there's treasured love ; Oh, prize its golden worth ; One gentle word, one smile of thine, Can ever call it forth. When thou art harsh, and stern and cold, And from thine own dear home The sunshine of domestic: love In sorrow seeks to rpam, Upon her heart thj' cold words fall And chill lifo*s tender life ; Then, oh, amidst thy trials all, Speak kindly to thy wife. ? Speak softly, kindly to thy wife ; She may have left a home Of cherished love, and to thine own But scarce as far have come. Though five or ton have told tho time, And thou hast shared its strife Whene'er thy footsteps homeward turn, Speak kindly to thj' wife. Speak kindly, gently to thy wife, She may be growing old, And soon ye both may garnered lie In shadows of the mould. Sir, put (hisi?' pour Wife's mirror. Have faith in Ihy husband, confide in his .vow; Should he speak unkindly, be true to him now, Though e'en in thine anguish thy bright nopes are. dim, Whatever awaits thee, be faithful to him. Have faith in thy husband, nor seek from thy homo* A balm for thy sorrow which sometimes may come ; 'Mid all thy dejection trust not in an other ; But let us have faith and bo kiud to each othor. Have faith in thy husband, and when he . is tried By trials and crosses, come stand by his Side, And try with affection to lighten his heart; There, e'en if thou fallest, 'tis acting thy part. Havo faith in thy husband, thy own home within, Whate'er be his coldness, tme kindness .may win ; Though e*en In thy sorrow thy fond hopes are dim, Yet still be moy love thee-be faithful to him. ? TOM'S WIFE. [Appleton's Magazine.] "We had just finished breakfast. Tom laid down an egg spoon lie had been playing with, and looked across at mother. " Aunt Anne, I think I'll take a wife," he said, exactly as he might have said, "I think I'll take another cup of coffee." " Take a wife !" repeated mother, by no means receiving the informa tion as tranquilly as it had been giv en. " What for'?" " Well, I don't know," answered Tom, thoughtfully, " It's a notion I have got in my head, somehow." " All nonsense !" said mother, very sharply. " Do you think so ?" said Tom, ap: parently doubtful, but not in the least put out. "Think so? I know it. What in the world eau you want of a wife ? After all these years we have lived so comfortably together, to bring home somebody to turn this house upside down ! And then what's to become of that poor child?" The "poor child"-that was 1 reddening at being brought into the argument iu this way was about to speak for herself when Tom interpos ed, warmly : "I'm sure May knows I would nev er have any wife who would make it less a home for her-don'tyou, May?" "Of course," I said. "And I'm sure she knows nothing of the sort/' persisted my mother, " nor you, either, Tom Dean. How can you -answer for what a wife may take into her head to do, once you get j her fixed here? You can't expect her to forget, as you do, that May has no real claim on you." "That I have no real claim on her. I suppose you mean, ma'am," Tom put in for the second time, just as I was getting thoroughly uncomforta ble. "But for all that, I intend to keep her-that is." added Tom. with one of his short-sighted blinks side ways at me, "as long as she'll stay with me, ch, May? And whoever has anything to say against that ar rangement will nave to go out of my house to say it-not that I'm afraid ot' such result iu this case-and, on the whole, Aunt Anne, I should like to try the experiment." Mother smiled, grimly, but Tom was so evidently bent on his "experi ment," as he called it, that she gave up the argument. " You can dance if you're ready to pay the pip^r," she said shortly. " And, pray, how soon do you mean to be married." Tom's face fell a little at this ques tion. " Well," said he, " I can't say ex actly. I pjppose we shall have to be engaged lirst." . "What!" said mother, opening her eyes; " Why you never mean to say, Tom, you haven't spoken to her yet?" " Not yet," answered Tom, cheer fully. " Time enough for that, you know,-after I have spoken to you." Mother, as H minister's widow, was not rnujch given to idle mirth that is as the cracking of thorns under a pot. hui now she leaned back and laughed j till the tears stood in her eyes. {..Well," she said, " if it was any-j l>c<ly else I should say he was crack ed; but you never were like other people, and you never will be, Tom .Dean. But, at least, you have fixed on the lady/' " 0, yes," answered Tom ; ** but if you will excuse me, Aunt Anne, I would rather not say anything about her just yet; for, if-if anything should happen, it wouldn't be pleas ant for either party you know." With which veiled allusion to his possible; rejection, Tom took his hat and left the room. Our household was rather queerly put together. There was no particu lar reason why I should have been of it at all ; for ? was not really related to Tom, nor even to " mother," as I called hei , though I amrsure-we were as dear to each ocher as any mother and daughter could be. She was the second wife of my father, who, like, most* ministers had been riche grace than in goods, and had. le at his death with very little t< on. Then it was that Tom Dear come forward, and insisted on g a home to his aunt and to me, v he had scarcely seen a dozen tia his life before. That was exactly Tom-"queer Tom Dean," fri were fond of saying, " who neve anything like anybody else." I suppose, in spite of his clear for business, there is no denying he was whimsical ; but I am wiien I think of his unfailing erosity and delicacy, I can'thelp1 ing there were a few more such w sical people in the world. Natm at the time I am speaking of, I opinion had not been asked ; all ] to do was to go where mother \ and while she gave her 6nergie the housekeeping, give mine to g ing up, which by this time I had ] ty well accomplished. But per for that very reason-for one with different eyes at twelve eighteen-my position in the h had already begun to seem uns factory to me ; and the morai words pnt it in a clearer light, ? it had been nsed a3 an argur against Tom's marrying. I k that mother had spoken honestly, lieving that such a step would nc for his happiness ; but was not he best judge of that? I knew him, if reflection sh< bring him round to her opinion, t perfectly capable of quietly saci ing his own wishes for my sake, had not the shadow of a claim on 1 so it must be my *part to prevent own kindness being turned aga him pow. Still it was not easy tc how. I was to provide for myself, case it should become advisable. W could I do? Draw and sing and j tolerably, but not in a manner toe pete with the hosts that would bi the field against me. Literature ? had read so many stories whose h< ines, with a turn of the pen, das; into wealth and fame. That wo be very nice, only-I was not the 1? little bit literary ; I had never e kept a journal, which is saying a gr deal for a girl in her teens. The I arts, then, being out of the quest for me, what remained ? There y some clerkship, or, perhaps, a pl in some family, and-and there ~\ Will Broomly ! That may seem like going av from the point, but it was not. was matter-of-fact but I could well enough what was going on ri? under my eyes, and I had a pre clear idea of what was bringing \"i to the house so often as he had tal to coming lately. There was a *'i uation," then, that would give the home life I liked Lest, and 1 myself best suit?d for; but-woi it answer in other respects? I ov cast the long seim I was sewing tw: over, I was so busy trying to ma up my mind whether I liked W Broomley well enough to pass i whole life with him; and even th I had not come to any decision, wh I was called down stairs to Miris Li ty Walters. Let:y was the pretties^, I think, all my friends, and certainly, the liv liest. Tom called her" the tonic arid used to laugh heartily at h bright speeches. I suppose it. w ;his that made mother fix on Letty ii is choice. When I came into tl sitting room, I found a kind ol' eros examination going on. It was amu , ii.g to anybody in the secret, us was, to watch mother'? artful way < continually bringing the con versa ti o round as if by chance, to bear o wlr.it. she wanted to know. But : all amounted to nothing, either lu cause Letty was too good a fencer, c ln-cau-f slic really had nothing lo lu I t ay, but when Tom carne hom* mother took care to mention Ilia Lef ty had called. "What, the tonic?" said Ton. ' Too bad I missed uer." But lor your choice being airead' : made." said mother, with a c-ver scrutiny of his face, " I dare say yoi might have as much of the tonic a you liked." " But I go on the homeopathii principle,-you know," answered Tum with a twinkle in his eye. After that mother's belief in Let ty's guiltiness wavered. Her suspi cions were transferred from one t< another of our acquaintances, bu always with the same unsatisfactory result. " It passes my comprehension," sh? -aid to me, despairingly, one day . I am positive I could tell t*he lighl .ne by Tom's face in a minute, anti 'yet I have mentioned everybody we know." " Perhaps it is somebody we don't know," I suggested-"some friend ol Iiis we have never seen.'" "What! a perfect stranger?' said motlier, sharply. " Mover talk to me child ; Tom is not. capable ol' that." I was sorry, ^for I did not want to worry her; but. that was my opinion all the same. The s*me evening-it was rather more than a week since Tom had hurled that thunderbolt of his at its' -motlier began about it openly. " When are you going to introduce your wife to us, Tom ? I suppose you have come to an understanding by this time?" "Oh, there's no Iv ny," Tom said, as he had said before .; but Luis time he did not speak quite so cheerfully., " The ?"act is," he continued, with a little hesitation-" there's a rival in the case." " A rival ?" repeated mathe-, with unfeeling briskness. " Yes, a young fellow-younger by a good deal than I am," and Tom's face assumed an absurdly doleful look, j "He is always there now. I confess I dont see my way clear; I'm wait I ing for her to make up her mind." " And she's waiting, most 1 for you to make up yours," said er, forgetting, in her propensi right matters, that she was pl tho enemy's.game. "There's something in that never occurred to rn?," said To: face brightening. Mother sav mistake, and made n connter-m< once. " But the ways of my time old fashioned now; young ladies, a-days, take matters into their hands. If she cared for yon may be pretty sure she wouldn't waited till this time to let you it-that is, I judge by the girls in the habit of seeing; but if th is a stranger io me-" (here m riveted her eyes on Tom's face dear, my unfortunate words!) " is an entire stranger, I cannot pr to form any opinion of her, of coi " Of course," repeated Tom sently. " Not that I have any euc idea," resumed mother growing mer ; " I have said, and I say a that to bring a perfect stranger i this roof is not my opinion of Tom." I felt my mother's words lils many needles and pins; for Ton looking meditatively across at and, though that was just a w his, it seemed now as if he were : ing in my face that the opinion mine, and that I had been med? in what did not concern me. I myself, for very vexation, ge redder every moment, lill it gre^ tolerable. " It is so wa>m here," I said fi excuse turning towards the Fr window. " I'm going to get a bi of air." I went out into our little stri] garden ground; Tom followed, thought I should never have a bi opportunity to say what I hud my mind to say, so I waited for by the bench under the old pear " Sit-down here, Tom," I said, " something to say to you." " Have you ?" said Tom ; " tl odd for I-well, never mind t just yet. What is it, May ?" " Tom," I said, still surer he had misjudged me, and more solved to set him right, " I wan place." " A place ?" repeated Tom, puzz as well he might be, by this sud and indefinite announcement : " v kind of a place ?" ,: I don't know," I said, for, indi my ideas were of the vaguest, thought you might know, being the way of those things. Now pi Tom," I went on qu'ekly, " cl fancy ? am discontented, or-or a thing of that sort ; the truth is, e since I left off school I have wan something to do. and had it in mind to speak to you about it." With this I looked at Tom, fi ing he might be vexed ; but he not look vexed, only preoccupied. " I do know of a place, as it h pens," he said after a while, "o fm not sure how it would suit yo " That's soon seen," said I. " W. is it like ?" "Weil, irs a sort of-of gene usefulness-" " Why. it must be to run errand said I, laughing. "And where is Tom ?" "Well." said Tom. hesitating again. " it's with me.*' "How very nice," I exclaimi " How soon can J have it ?" " The sooner tin- better, PO fur m nm concerned," said Tom, and wi that he tinned round and looked me, and directly I met his eye? knew somehow, all in a moment, wis it was he incant; and I knew, tc botji that I could not have passed : my life with Will Broomly, and wi 1 eoahl not. 1 am sun* Letty Waitera, who i lorrupted ns just thi n, must, hiv thought my wits were wandering th evening; and, indeed, tiny wore, f> I was completely dazed with tho siv den turn things had taken. Bi Tom, who had the advantage of n there, took it quite coolly, and laug] ed and talked with Letty just tl same as ever tili she went away. It .was pretty late when we wei in. Mother sat where we had le her, knitting in thc twilight. "Wasn't that Letty Walters wit voua while ago?" she Said as w came up. "Yes," said I, with a confuse feeling of something being necessary <: she just came to bring the nc crochet pal tern she promised me." .' H'm !" said mother, as much a to say she had her own ideas as t what Letty came for. Tom had been wandering abou the room th an absent sort, of a fash ion, taking up and putting down i; the wrong places all the small object that fell in his way. Ho came nj and took a seat by mother. I beean)* ol' a sudden very busy with the plant in the window ; for I knew he wa going to tell her. " Wish mc joy, Aunt Anne," sail he, " it is all settled." "Settled, is it?" said mother, ir anything but p. joyful tone. " So it'f as I suspected all along. Well, yoi have my best wishes, Torn ; perhaps you may be happy together after all I'm sure I hope so." This wasn't a very encouraging sort of congratulation,and Tom seem ed rather taken aback by it. " I'm sorry you're not pleased," he sa-rj, after a pause ; " I had an ' idea somehow you would be." "I don't know from what you judged. But there, ifs no'use cry ing over spilt milk. You'll be mar ried directly, I prejume ; I must be looking out for a house," and mother strobed her nose reflectively with a knitting-needle. "What for?" said Tom; ''.I thought of keeping on here all the Same," Arv. " I never supposed, otherwise," e mother. " Of course I did not peet to turn you out of your c house." "J3ut what is the need of look or.t for another?" " Why, for myself?" " For yourself!" repeated Tom a tone of utter amazement, " Go to leave us-just now? "W Aunt Anne, I never beard of sue thing !" . " Now, Tom," said mother spe ing very fast, and making her nee'e fly in concert, " we might as v come to an understanding at once this subject. I am fully sensible your past kindness-now. just let finish-I say I appreciate it, s have tried to do my duty by you return, as I hope I should always ready to do. I wish all good to 3 and your wife, and shall be glad help her if ever I can, but to live the 6ame house with her is w' would turn out pleasantly for neitl of us, and, once for all, I can't do i "Aunt Anne," said Tom, push: back his chair, and staring in mo er's excited face, "either you o must be out of our wits." "It's not me, then, at any rat retorted mother, getting nettled. Amusement and a certain emb rnssment had kept me a silent list er so far, but there was no standi this; I tried to speak but could n for laughter. " I think you are all out of yt wits together," said mother, tumi sharply, " What ails the child ? j no laughing matter." " You don't understand each o er," I gasped ; "oh, dear I it-it's i Letty-oh-oh, dear!" and relaps again. "Not Letty?" repeated moth turning to Tom. " Then why c you tell mc so ?" " I never told you so," said To " Why, yes you did," persist mother. " You came in and told i you were going to be married." " Yes, so I am," said Tom, still cross-purposes. "Now, Tom Dean," said mothi rising and confronting him, " wi do you mean? Who is going to your wife ?" "Why, May, of ccyirse," answer Tom. May I" And then, after a pan of inexpressible astonishment, it w mother's turn to laugh. "Do yi mean to say, Tom, it was that chi yon were thinking of all the while "Why, who else could it be?" sa Tom, simply. " Well," said mother, " I ought have remembered you never did ( anything like anybody else. Bi still, why in the world did you go work in such a roundabout, way?" " I wanted to see how you took my idea," said Tom. " And how did. you suppose v were to guess your idea meant May ! mother asked. " Who else could it be?" repeate Tom, falling back on what he ev dently found an unanswerable argt ment. It was no use talking to inn I Mother gave it up with a shake of tb j head. " You won't want another huns i th-n, Aunt Anne?" said Tom sm j denly. That set mother oil again I Tum joined, with her, and al toge the I I don't think we ever passed a mei riff evening than the one that mad us acquainted with Tom's wife. - - - H>.- -- ? - . From tho Danbury News. Catching ,1 livu Mr. Cobleigli, of Nelson stree! bought three hens Saturday night ?II?.? put them und r a box until h could build a coop. Sunday mornin he saw one of them in the street, am bestowing a brief curse on the some body who had overturned thc bo: .im! jeopaidized his property, Ju started out after it, to drive it inti thu yard. It took fifteen minutes t convince him that th..I. hen could no bu driven into that yard, and thei in- attempted to catch it.

' Il was Sunday morning.

Then he would havi to hop back on one foot after that slipper, while the hen stood on tin walk und elocuted, and the li ttl t Sunday school children stopped and laughed, and their parents reproved them, and laughed too. Finally tin? hen got away from him and started down street at wonderful speed for a hen, and he started after, his face redder than ever, and every time he elcarqd ti rod he would stop and hop back two after one of those slippers. When he reached the corner'of Es sex street he jumped out of both slippers at. once, but instead of stop ping to go b-ck he picked up a stick of wood and kept on. Then as thc hen dodged into a gateway he hurled the stick and broke the leg of a strange dog, which added its pierc ing " ki-yi" to the entertainment. But Cobleigh didn't slop. He tore into the yard after his property in his bare feet, and chased the hen into wood pile ami caught it justas the owner of the premises came out and wanted to know what Cobleigh was doing, was going to do with his hen. and what he meant anyway, by get ting drunk and kicking up such a hullabaloo in a peaceful neighbor hood. Cobleigh first thought he would knock the man down with an axe, and what he could not eat of him bury under a barn ; but the new comersuceeed' ' m proving to Cob leigh that the hen was his,/ and then, the miserable?: man burst, into' tears and limped back home, where he found the three hens under a box.
