AN INTERvIEw-We were setting in
, our sanctum yesterday afternoon, putting
a glorious Havana, and musing. as we sent
up puff after puff. and behold the fanciful
forms we had created, disappear, upon the
evanescence of all earthly hopes and de-

A proper self-respect would teach every

men,s, are happily open to every class

chanic will not fail to choose such com"

For nothing lovelier can be found
In woman, than to study household coed
And good works in her husband to promote.
/ have such a mechanics wife in my
minds eye: gentle as the antelope, un-
tiring as the bes,. joyous as the lihnet:
neat, punctual, modest, confding. She is
patient but resolute; aiding in counsel,
revying in troubles, eser pointing out the
brightes, side, and concealng nothing but
her own sorrows. She loves her hsms,
believing with Milton that
The wife, where danger and dishonor turks,
Safest and seemliest by her husband stays,
VIE guards her,o with her the worst endures
The place of woman is, evidently at the
fre-side. 1t is at home you must see her
to know what she is. 1t is less material
what she is abroad; but what she is in
the family circle, is all important. 1t
is a bad merchandise, in any department
of trade, to pay a premium for other
mems opinions; in matrimony, he who
selects a wife for the applause or wonder
of his neighbors, is in a fair way towards
domestic bankruptcy. Having got wife,
there is bat one rule--Honor and Love
her. Seek to improve her understanding
and her heart. Strive to make her, more
and more, such an one as you can cordial
ly respect. Shame on the brute in mans
shape, who can affront or vex, not to say
neglect, the woman who has embarked with
him for life. for better for worse and
whose happiness, if severed from his
smiles, must be unnatural and monstrous.
In fine, am proud of nothing in Ameri-
ca so much as of our American wives.

THE VILLAGE PRIZE.

In one of the loveliost villages of old
Virginia, there livedin the year 1850 an
old man, whose daughter was declared by
universal consent to be the lovelIest mald-
en- in all the country round. The veter-
an, in his youth, had been athletic and
muscular above all his fellows; and his
breast where he wore them, could show
the adornment Of three medals; received
for his victories in gymnastic fcats when
young man. His daughter was now
eighteen, and had been sought in mar
riage by many suitors. One brought
wealth; another, a fine person-another,
This, and another that. But they were all
refused by the old man, who became at
last a by-word for his obstinacy among
the young men of the village and neigh
borhood.
AT length the nineteenth birth day of
Annette, bis charming daughter, whowas
as amiable and modest as She was beauti-,
full, arrived. The morning of that day,
her father invited all the youth of the
country 10 hay-mnking frolic.. Seven
teen handsome and industrious young
men assembled They came not only
= to make hay, but also to make love TO the
fair Annette. In three hours they had
