 Tke Mayvsed. -" How. offer, is tho hau-. .piness of married life destroyed by the weak indulgence of eaptious temper. How often may the confdence ofIhose who havSs no thoughts bat for each other, be shaken by this uncertainty in the effect produced by their communications. How compIete- " isihs mutual ease, e,lhe unrestrained open- ness, happy feeling of.eqasaliiy destroyed, when the curl .s,i' the lip and the frowl of the brow must be watched, and the tone Of the voice must be listened to, ere the sub- jectin question can with safety be broach- ed. When once the thought that now was the fitting opportunity has crossed the mind of either party, and when tho delay is felt more as reprieye than privation, then may both be sure tllat for the questionable pleasure of indulged irritability, one tho blessings of matrimony has been sforfsited. They arc at once deprived of the comfort of that quick GC open interchange ofthonght and feeling which should exist in welded life." s

 S;ngalare6sets of Beauty on q sYoasg Man.-Bishop Dnpoy invited one day to dinner two clergymen and three ladies he. noticed that during the whole ropast. the youngest of the two clergymen had his eyes. steadily fixed on oue of the ladies, who was very handsome. The Bishop after dinner, when the ladies had retired, asked him what he thought of the Fady he had just been looking at? The clergyasan answer ed-' My lord, in looking at the lady, \ was reaecting that her beautiful forehead will one day be covered with wrinkles ;'that the coral on her lips will pass to her eyes, the
 vivacity of which will be extinguished; that
 the ivory of her teeth will be changed to,
 ebony that to the lilies and roses of he Z
 complexion. the withered appearance l6f
 care viii succeed that her 6ne soft skin
 will become dry parchment;' that her g.
 greeable smiles will be converted into gri-
 maces-and that at length she will Become the antidoie of loye.' Tnever should have supposed, said the Bishop, that the sight of fine woman would have inspired a young man with such profound meditations.
