I The very climax of ugliness wa# Hen Pur- ! lie. What watt more still. Hen had a handsome,bouncing, blooming wife?such j as can only be grown upon a country farm. 'How the deuce,'said I to Hen one day, I "did you ever gut such a wife, you nn couth, mis sliapeu, quintessence of uion , I trosity ? Hen was not at all often led by the impertinence of my question, and forth with began to solve the mystery thus : Well, now, gal's what sensible, ain't cotched by none of your party and hifalutin airs.

LaborThis well merited tribute to labor is from the N.ov York Mirror: We have beard among the idlers who float like dnf't wood on tbe surface of society, com torn j tuous thugs at those whose heritage ! is toil.

The unmarried women, says an ex- j change, who can read this without indig- ' nation, ought to bo married : i Let every wife be persuaded that there t are two ways of governing ft family. I'ne 1 l first is by llio expression of tliat will j t w hich belongs to force ; il;e second to the ? power of mildness, to which every j< strength will yield. One is the power of 1 the husoand ; a wife should never em- I i ploy any other arms than those of gen- | t tleness. When a woman accustoms her- ! t self to say, 'I will,* she deserves to lose 1 i her empire. Avoid contradicting your i husband. When wo smell a rose it is to i t imbue the sweets of odor ; wo look for ! t everyihiinr ainiabiu in woman. WIuimvu> 1 is of ion contradicting leels insensibly an . aversion lor the person who contradicts, \ I which quills strength by timo, and, what 1 f ever he her good qualities, is not easily I I destroyed. | s Occupy yourself only with household i I affairs, wait till your husband conlides to ' you those of higher importance, and do I s not read lectures to him. Let your ! t preaching be a good example, and prao' i lice virtue y outsell to make him love it. Command his attention by being al I s ways kind to him ; never exact anything I and you will attain much ; appear ah ' ways tl?tie red by lha little be does lor i t you, which will excite iiim to do more. I All men are vain ; never wound iiis j | vanity, not even in the most trilling in- j I stances. A wife may have more sense t than her hu*band, but she should never ! h seem to know it. I o When a man gives wrong counsel, ' never feel that he has done so, but lead ' I1 him bv degress to what is rational, with.
