rn^p^rr ... 4-=^=^ ,?,The
Wife.
On earth, to man there is but one
His heart can love?his soul can own ;'
Though myriads Sit before hts view,
Theie is but one to whom he's true?
That ono can sway hira to and fro ;
Can make him drean the cop of woe;
Can give him joy, or blast his life ;
Aud that oue'a name is simply wife.
Dut in that name a world is sphered,
A world by all beloved, revered,
Who have iiie sense to know its worth,
And spurn the gaudy joys of earth ;
For that full heart in her dear breast?
If riodi'lv nrir,ed?eternal rest
Is not with blissful sweets more rife,
Thau that puie heart?a loving wife.

The Sunbeam, the Dew-Drop and the Rose
FROM THE rEB8IAN.
A Dew drop linng trembling like a
timid tiling upon the soft velvet leaf of
a Rose. It, sparkled and flashed, each
ti.no the wind wooed the rose bud,
with myriads ol' brilliant hues, till it
seemed as if a rainbow had been imprisoned
within its crystal bosom, and
was struggling to escape. Now. the 1
rose beheld its beauty, and thought
she had nevor before seen such a love
ly creature: so she spoke to it gently, !
in a voice that seemed like the essence
of a summer wind.
" BQantrfnt Dew-drop!*' said the 1
Rose, " I love you. Von ave li^o the !
slurs that I see looking down 1'foin i
heaven on 1110 when the wind wakens
mo at night; hnt L love yon more than '
I do tlioin, for you are near me, and 1
they, are tar away. Come dwell with '
me for ever, sweet gem of tho morning, 1
and'to thee will I unlock all the fragrance,of
my bosom."
The U >se, as she spoke, unfolded tier
dc\ioate loaves, until the Dew-drop he- :
held the depths of her heart, glowing J
with love and passion. 1
Just then a sly Sunbeam peeped but '
from behind an embroidered cioud, j
mill u:IU' l'.w? n.iaf-ili'?iv 1 ? 1. .......

quivering with emotion sit the declar-!
ntion of the Rose.
, 44 Heed nut that foolish flower, sweet 1
Dew-drop 1" cried the Sunbeam ; ' she
would haver love you as I can. 13e _
mine, sukI I will bare thee up amongst
the highest stars of heaven, and who '
I look at thee thou shalt outshine them 11
ul I"
The D-w-drop wsis bewildered, an 1 '
knew not what to say. It would glad-j
ly have roigned in the golden heavens !"
and been the queeil of the stsirs, but it
feared the fierco ardor of tlio Sun-!'
beam; and then the R ?se kept wliis-]
poring such sweet things to it with itSij
mossy lips, that it could not help loving
its gentle voice. So it thought a little,
and then replied to the Sunbeam,
thus:
41 O, golden Sunbeam! who ga/.est
at mo with tliino eyes of splendor ; f
tliou art far too grea>; for me to love '
thee. What would I, a poor timid
Dow-drop do, wedded to such a mag- '
liiiieence as thine? At thy first ein-1.
-brace, 1 should melt away, and vanish j
like the morning mist upon the hills. I j
Rut the sweet Rose I love dearly.?!
Her kisses are laden with perfume, I
and from her bosom steals forth all, I
tho fragrance of love. <), fond and''
beautiful flower! it; thy rosy chalico I!1
will dwell forever and be lmppy !"
So saying, the Dew-drop slid gently'
down into the glowing bosom of the ]

Sensible Dow-drop ! well didst tlion . i
know it is not the love tluit dazzles; t
most which brings the greater peace, j ^
The love of the Sunbeam would havo ! ^
been fatal to thee, while that of the a
Iloso gave thee happiness and con- s
tentment. Love, like the- skylark, i
though sometimes soaring to heaven, t
still builds its nest upon the earth ! ?
Count Tnem.?Count what ? Why I <
count the mereies which havo been',
quietly falling in your path, through j ,
every period of your history. Down',
they come every morning and overy j *
evening, as angel messengers from the j
Father of lights, to tell you of your (
host friend in llcaven. Have you j
lived these years, wasting mercies,
treading them beneath your feet., and j
consuming them every day, and never
vet realized from whence theveame?!'

It'yon have, llcuvcn pity you ! i ,
Von havo murmured under aftlictiow;
hut who has hoard you rejoice
over blessings ? Do you oak what are
these mercies ? Ask the sunbeam, the
rain drop, tho star, or tho queen of
night. What is life but a mercy ??
What ig the propriety of stopping to.
play with a thorn bush when you may j
just as well pluck sweet flowers, and
oat pleasant fruits?
llappy is lie who looks at the bright
side of lite, of providence* and of revelation.
Who avoids thorns, thickets
and sloughs, until his Christian growth
is such that it he cannot improve them,
ho may pass among them without injury
? Count mercies before you c<^npluin

"Don'i Stay too Long:!"
1Vo fepmmend aabioiued truthfullj?
pifftietlc Waif, which we find
flouting among our exchanges, to
merchants and business men who have
no time for their wives and families.
Would that every husband who reads
the Merchant's Magaziuo might profit
by it: .
"Don't 6tay long!" said a young
wife tenderly, one evening, as her husband
was preparing to fjo out. The
words themselves were insignificant,
but the look of melting fondness with
which they were accompanied spoke
volumes. It told the whole vast
depths of woman's love?of all her
grief when tho light of his smile, the
source of all her joy, beamed not
brightly upon her.
" Don't stay long, husband 1" ami
I fancied I saw tho loving, gentle wife
sitting alone, anxiously counting thoj
momenta of her husband's absence,!
every few moments running to the
door to see if he was in sight, ami finding
that lie was not, I thought-1 could
hear her exclaiming in disappointed
tones, " Not yet!"
" Don't stay long, husband 1" and 1'
again thought I could see the young
wife rocking nervously in the great
urn-chair, and weeping as though her
heart would break, as her thoughtless
' lord and master" prolonged his stay
to a wearisome length of time.
Oh, you that have wives to. suv,
'Don't stay too long 1" when you go
forth, think of them kindly when you
ire mingling in the bn9y liivc of life, .
ind try, just a little, to make their
learts and home happy, for they* arc
veins too seldom replaced. You canlot
find, amid the pleasures of the I
ivorld, the peace and joy that a wo !
nan's presence will afford.
"Don't stay long, husband!" and
ho young wife's look seemed to say,
For hero in your own sweet hoine is .
i loving heart, whose music, is hushed ;
vbon yon are absent; hero is a soft
jreast to lay your head upon, and here
ire pure lips, unsoilcd bv sin, that
vill pay you with kisses for coming!
>aok soon."
MlStflttKS OF IxtKMl'KRANCK. TllC
bllowiug is as graphic a delineation
>f the miseries and effects of intompermcoas
we have evorseen. It is from the
ligaments advanced by certain citi:eus
of Portage county, Ohio, in a
Memorial to tlie Legislature u:i tiie!
uibjcct:
And yet its march of mill is on- J
,vard still. It reaches abroad toothers j

Sidxky Smith ox Kissing.?'The
lev. Sidney Smith once said, in writng
on kissing, "We are in fttVor ot a
:ertain degree of shyness when a kiss
s proposed, but it bhould not be con
inuetf too long; and when the fair oue|
jives it, let it l?o administered with \
varmth and energy. Let there he j
1011I in it. If she closes licr eyes, and |
lighs deeply immediately after it, the j
:ll'ect is greater. She should bo care- j
'ul not to slubber a kiss, hut give it as
i humming bird runs his hill into a
loneysuckle?deep but delicate.?
rhero is much virtue in u kiss when
.veil delivered. We have had the(
memory of one we received in our
pouth, which has lasted us forty years,
md we believe it will bo one of the
ast things we will think of when we,
lie."
T)it.\wiNo a Pkxsiox.?"Well, my|
lad, where are von travelling this1
ilonny weather alone?" asked an in-,
[juisitive landlord in the noi^li of Ver-;
intuit, tluring the last war, of a small
lad, whose father was engaged in
smuggling, and had sent him, young
as he was, with an important message
in advanco of the party.
" Going to draw my pension," was
the reply.
" Pension !" echoed the astonished
landlord, " What does go small a boy
as yon draw a pension for ?"
" Minding ray own business, and letting
that of othevs alone 1"
The landlord sloped.
" Yoc had better ask for manners
than money," said a finely dressed gen
tloihan to a beggar, who asked for
alm9.
"I aiked for what I thought yon
had the most of," was tho reply vf the
inedicaut. t^

A Good joke.
A correspondent ot'tlio Lambcrtville
(N. J.) Beacon save, that a short
time 6inee, while staying at the borough
of E , ho overheard the following,
which he thinks too good to be
lost:
A number of politicians, all of whom
wore seeking offices under the Government,
were seated on the tavern
porch, talking, when an old toper,
named Jako I) , a person who is
very loquacious when "corned," but
exactly opposite when sober, said,
that it* the company had no objection,
he would tell them a story. They told
hitn to u fire away," whereupon ho
spoke as follows:
" A Certain king?don't recollect his
name?had a philosopher upon whose
judgment he always depended. Now.
it so happened that, one day, the king
took It into his head to go hunting, and,
after summoning his nobles, and making
all the necessary preparations, he
summoned the philosopher, and asked
him if it would rain. The philosopher
told him it would not, nud he and
his nobles departod. "While journo}'mrr
nlnuir tl WUf Dial O 1
? />iuw II1\^V (* Wlllltl > JIUlll
mounted upon a jackass; lie advised
them to return, 4 tor,' said ho, 4 it certainly
will rain.' They smiled contemptuously
upon him, and passed on.
Before they had gone many miles,
however, they had reason to regret not
having taken the rustic's advice, as a
heavy shower coming up they were
drenched to the skin. When they had
returned to the palace, tho king reprimanded
the philosopher severely for
telling him it would bo clear when it I
was not. 41 met a countryman,' said |
ho, 4 and ho knows a great deal more
than yon, for he told mo it would rain,
whereas, you told ino it would not.?
The king then gave him his walking
papers, and sent for the countryman, J
who soon made his appearance. 4 Tell
me,' said tho king; k now you knew it
would rain,' 41 didn't know,' said the
rustic, 'my jackass told me.' 4 And how,
pray,' in great astonishment. 4 By
pricking up his ears, your Majesty.'?
'i'he king now sent the country man
awav, and, procuring the jackass ot
him, lie placed him (the jackass) in the
office the philosopher had tilled. And
here, observed Jake, looking very
wise, here is where the king made a
great mistake."
4' How so?" inquired his auditors.
44 Why, ever since that time," said!
Jake, with a grin on his phiz, "every
Jackass .cants an office /
Only Onk O'clock.?Air. joining
home late one night, from 44 meet
ing," was met at the (lour by his wife. I
'k Pretty time of night, Mr. , for
yon to come home?pretty time, three
o'clock it) tiie muring. you, a respectable
man in the community, anil the
father of a family."
"Tisn't three?it's only one, T heard
it strike. Council always sits till one
o'clock."
u My soul! Mr. , you are drunk
?as true sis I'm alive, you are drunk.
It's three in the morning."
I say, Mrs. its one. I heard
it strike one as 1 came round the corner,
itoo vr tared times.'"
Youxo America.'?On Saturday
evening a little boy not four years of
"go, while going down Broadway, N.
Y ., was stopped hv a crowd of men,
seated in front of the Broadway Hotel.
One of the company, who had during
the evening made repeated efforts at
wit, said to tlio bov :
u Sonney, <loos your mammy kno\v
you're out t"
u The little follow very cooly answered
:
" Yea, sir, iny ma gave mo three
cents to buy a monkey ; arc you for
sale ?" and passed on leaving the crowd
convulsed with laughter.
Had IIer There.?Two little girls,
one a daughter of a clergyman, and
the other a parishioner, fell into an angry
dispute. To mortify and spite the
antagonist, the little parishioner saw
fit to remind her of hpi- ? < ?! 1
known poverty, anil intimated rather
tartly that had it not been for her lather's
benevolent interference, the poor
minister would have been in tho workIxouse.
" Well, 1 don't care," replied
tho other u if it had not been for my
lather your's would have been in hell
long ago."
A lady occupying room letter Ik,
at a hotel, wrote on the elate as follows
:
" Wako letter 11. at seven ; and if
letter II. says, "let us he," don't let
lis he, nor let letter II. he because if
you let letter 11. be, letter 11. will he
unable to let her house to Mr. 11. who
| is to 1X) on hand at hulfpust seven."
Tho porter, a lietter boot black than
ortho^raphist, after studying the above
all night, did not know whether to
wake 11. or to " let her be."
I'xx handle your witness without
gloves, said one lawyer to another.?
" That you may do with safety, but it
is more than I would do with yours,"
was the reply.
Tub mau who " held au office" got
tired and let go for the puqx>86 of
resting himselt a short time, when the
office got awar and has not ueon heard
from since.
