Mrs. Perrin was a littlo round dumpling of a woman with a mild, benevolent face, and a smile almost always on her lips. On the occasion of this exclamation she was at wo?-k in her kitchen, shelling peas, and her neighbor, Mrs. Jerken, sat beside her, knitting. The minister was &een at some little distanco coming toward the bouse. Mrs. Perrin bad her cap ribbons tied upon the crown, her sleeves rolled tip to the elbows, her old blue flowered apron on, aud her household implements around her, and it was ibis unfitness of dress thai brought out j tbo irreverent speech. "Who, the minister ?" asked Mrs. Jerlcin, an expression of peculiar character passing over lier -face. "Yes ; why in the name of mercy didn't he conic .yesterday, when I was all cleaned up? Tn the morning, too, when I'm in such a stew !" said Mrs. Perrin, untying her cap strings as fast as she could, and pressing down hersleevcs, while the perspiration rolled down her face. "Laud of promise ! I haven't a minute's time?and sure enough before the words were ou't of her mouth, the minister, stood on the stepsof the kitchen. "Ln, Sir! how are you! I'm mighty glad to see you. Won't you just go round to the-front door, and I'll - let you into the parlor; I ain't fit'to be looked at hern." "Do let me sit down here, good Mrs. Perrin don't drive me into your parlor, just: because I happen to be a minister. There ' now, I am comfortable, if you will allow me;" and4ie seated himself in a chair. "Now, Mrs. Perrin, I insist that you go on-with work ; or shall I shell the peas for Ttm V' t,A oclro,! : .1- 1 J "V watU) vuOUIVJU^ uio uasKOL vy her side. "La i- Sir, how comical! no, I'll just go through with the job, seeing as you say 60; we roust all . mind the minister; and she took^up b'er %ork again. After a fetor moments of pleasant discourse, the minister, quite rested and refreshed with a draught of new milk, arose to go ou hie ' Way. ' v ? As soon as he was out of sight, Mrs. Jerkin began praising him. "HeVn good man,'and preaches such beautiful plain sermons," 6be said. "Even tbe little children can understand them.

"1 consider it so," replied Mrs. Jerkin, i "l>ear me, and 1'vo got such a habit of il" said Mrs. l'errin again. "Do you think it is wrong to say, "In the nnme of mercy," "In the name of patience?" asked Mrs. Perrin. "Most decidedly," replied Mrs. Jerkin ; "Christ says. ''Let your communication be yea, yen, and nay, nay; and he adds, "For whatsoever is more tbau these, cometh of evil.'" "Dear me, hut people don't know their doing wrong," said Mrs. Perrin. "They have the Bible,!' replied the neigh, j bor. "To be sure," replied Mrs. Perrin, hastily, | "I didn't think of that?but you don't find a woman but uses some such words." "Morc's the pity," said Mrs. Jerkin. "I j liavo hoard real lady like women exclaim, "My gracious!" and, "Creation!*' That j was swearing by the earth and a'l created ' things, expressly forbidden, j'ou know. Ah ! intemperance of speech prevails to an alarming extent. "Dear me!" said little Mrs. Perrin. "There 1 was that wrong ?" bIio asked, > looking, up. "Well, from this time hence- j forth, Pin determined to have no slang i words or pet phrases," said the little woman resolutely. "The thought that I was swearing-sit seems dreadful!" "I, t"V*o, am determined to have my com- j munication as near tlio Gospel command as ' I can, replied Mrs. Jerkin, gathering up j her knitting work, and taking her departure." Mr. Tcrrin came homo from tlie farm, very tired. Tie was a good Christian, was farmer Perrin, but his communication was not yea, and nay. lie sat down to the supper table. Some of bis favorite cakes were set smoking before him. "Jerusalem!" ho exclaimed, with a pleasant air, as ho surveyed the smoking pile. "O Amos!" said his wife; "don't swear please." nni. _ t. i i ? * " iuc iHnncr uroppeu nis Knuo, and stared I with a ludicrous countenance. "Don't Bwear !M he repeated. "You said Jerusalem, husband." "Well, and you call that swearing, do you?" "Christ says so." "I'd like to have you tell me where i Pretty conscientious your getting, to reprove a man like ine for swearing, who never sworo in his life." "Why, husband, hear," eaid Mrs. Perrin. repeating from memory, that bhe had refreshed sinco Mrs. Jeukin's visit; "Christ bays, -owear noi ai an ; nrtuner dv fieaven, for it iB God's throne; neither by the earth for it is His footstool; neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King."' "Well, really, I never thought of that bofore, and the Libit has grown on me I believe." "You see, Mrs. Jerkin was in here, and took me to task for swearing. "Took you to task for swearing, well that's a pretty piece of intelligence." "IJiit 1 did , Amos; I said "Good heaven," and, "Good gracious," and ever so many other things, when I felt excited ; and she proved from the Bible that it was wrong? and so I was v/in snn " "Well, well?that's a new light to me, 4 Live and learn" my old grandmother used to say, but I never thought that I'd beeu swearing all my day?.

Just reprove me where you her it will you wife ?*' "Yes, if you will reprove me." 4*I certainly will," returned the good farmer, "when I hear the wrong word coming, I will quote tlie Bible?'Swear not at all.'"

There is much truth as well ns of that kind of philosophy which comes into every day requisition, helping to strengthen and brighten the ties of social affection in the subjoined brief article taken from tho lLa. die's Enterprise.'

This is because he is a thorough gentleman, who thinks his wife in all things entitled to precedence.

He knows her; why should he hesitate to attest it? i 'And hor husband, he praiseth her,' saitli I Holy Writ; not by fulsome adulation, not j by pushing her charms into notice, buthv > speaking, as opportunity occurs, in a manly way of licr virtures.

Beautiful Woman. | As a general thing you have to looli into | the ranks of the nobility for the most beautiful woman of Europe. And on the whole I must give the preference to tho English nobility for the most beautiful woman I remember to have met with. In calling to my mind the many I have seen, in the course of my life, I find myself at once thinking ol tho Duchcss of Sutherland. She was a large and magnificent woman?a natural queen. Her complexion was light, and she might bo considerd the - ..r.i? i l r., > i'u iii inu iM-niiiiiui aristocracy of Kngland. ] next tliink of I-:?dv Ulessington. Shu was a marvelous beauty.? Kings and nobles were at her feet. In Italy they called bur the goddess. Sbe was very voluptuous, with a neck that snt on her shoulders liko the most charming (Jreek models, a wonderfully beautiful baud, and an uyo that, wlicn it smiled, captivated all hearts. Sbe was a far more intellectual type of beauty than t lie Duchess of Sutherland. The present Duchess of Wellington is a remarkable beautiful woman?but with little intellect or animation. Sho is a fine niece of sculpture, and as cold as a piece of sculpture. The most famously beautiful i* :i?f.-v ? * ? -? ' '? * 1 wiminy in migiaiMi is mil groat mi'TUlnn family. Thero.were two sons who were considered llio handsomest in on of their <lav. Then there :?ro three daughters, the Hon. Mrs. Norton, well known on this side of the Atlantic, though her poverty and her misfortunes! Lady Blackwood, and Lady Seymour, who was the queen of beauty at the famous TCnglinton Tournament. These three beautiful Sheridan sisters u*ed to be railed the 'three ftraces of England. Lady Seymour has dark bine eyes, large, histr. os, and most beautiful; while L:%dy I'lackwood and Mrs. Norton have grey eyes, hut all full of lire and sonl and beam v. J The women ol' Franee are not generally beautiful, although iliey are very charming. The art of plensing, or of refilled and fascinating manners, is ilic first study of a French lady. Hut still France is not without its beautiful women. The Marquis de la C. range was one of the most beautiful women 1 have met in l\aris. She had an antique head and face, grave and dignified in her manners as Juno, and altogether a grand study for an artist. Kugenia, the Mm press, is, however, handsomer still.? When I last saw her she was certainly one of the most vivacious, witty, and sprightly women in all Parish. All the portraits of her which T have seer, ih this country greatly exaggerate her size, for Eurronia is really a small woman. Hefore her marriage with the Emperor, and when she was the lii-lle of Madrid, evinced a great admiration for the celebrated pianist, Louis (Jottsi-halk, who has, I believe, carried off tho hearts of a half million of girls in this country, w ithout, poor fellow, being in the slightest degree cognizant of the fact himself. Eugenia cauesd hiin to be received into tho best and most aristocratic families of Madrid. The ladies of the Royal family of Russia are among the most beautiful women of Europe. The Grand Duchess Olga, eldest daughter of the late Emperor Nicholas, was so beautiful that even when she appeared in public the whole audience would rise up and receive her with shout&/of applause. Iler youngest sifter, Marie, the w it'e of the duke of Lenchtetiburg.wasotily less beautiful: In Tin key I saw very few beautiful wo men. The style of beauty there is universally Git. Their criterion of a bountiful woman is that she|ought to be a load for a camel. They are, however, quite handsome when young, but the habit of feeding them on such things as pounded rose leaves and butter, to make them plump, soon destroys it. The lords of creation in that part of the world treat worn en as you would geese ?stuff them to make them fat. Though the politeness of Sir Standford Canning, English Ambassador at Constantinople, who gave me a letter to a Greek lady residing in the Sultan's harem, 1 was kindly permitted to visit, as frequently as I pleased, the inside of that institution,and look upon, what they call in Turkey, 'the lights of the world.' These lights of the world' consisted of some five hundred bodies of unweild ed fat. Your Amerir.au Plalo, Mr. Ralph Emerson, would lir.vc exclaimed on seeing siu'li a sight?'what quantity!' Willi the cqr.cption of a few young girls?there was a beautiful woman in the whole of that vast accumalation of puunded rose leaves and butler. The ladies of the hareiu gazed at my leanness with commiserating wonder; and every one wanted to remedy the horrible deformity. They paid many civil compliments to my face and foot?hut were postively disgusted at my diminutive size.? The ladies of Turkey are allowed very little exercise lest they should get thin. The Persecution of New Ideas. Harvev, who Hist discovered this cironlu tion of the blood, was styled "vagabond or quack,'' and persecuted through life. Ambrose Pare, in the time of Francis I., introduced the liyuture as a substitute for the painful modo of -stanching the blood alter the amputation of a limb?namely, by applying boiling pitch to tha^urfacc of the stump, lie was, in consequence, persecuted with the niosfTemorseless rancor by the Faculty of physic, who ridiculed the idea of putting tho life of a man upon a thread, Vvben boiling pitch had stood the test for centuries! Paracelsus introduced antimony as a valuable medicine; ho was persecuted' for the innovation, and the French Parlia I-S? 1 |inm>i Oil out winning it pt'llMI loprescribe it; whereas it is qow one of the most important mtaicines 'in daily use. The Jesuits of Peru introduced to Protestant England the Peruvian bark (invaluable as a medicine,) but being a remedy used by the Jesuits. the Protestant English at once rejected the drug m the invention ^of the Devil.
