HOUSEWIVES AND EDrrORs.

Between housewife and an editor there
may well be sympathy of heart. To both
day after day there is round of duties
The housewife, in providing for her fami-
Iy, must have their wants ever before her
And SO with the editor of newspaper.
He has still more numerous family, and
with more diversified wants to be provided
for. She must see that her meals be furn-
1shed in due season, and in preparing them
the health and tastes of her family, and of
the differt members of it are TO be regarded
Just SO the editor. He must have in rea.
diness at the regular times the meals for his
family; consulting with anxious care both
their tastes and their healths; presenting
something which may be suited 10 each.
And if either fails in time, quantity or quail
ity there is danger or wry looks, and of
goodly number of dry intcrrogations.
The housewife clears away the table but
to prepare it again for the new and ever re-
turning wants of hunger. She must see
that she not only has something of varie-
ty for one meal, but new and different va
rIety for the next, FOR appetites sa.iate with
the same, however good; and demand con-
tinued change, The editor too finishes cor
recting his last proof slip, (which is but
washing up his Dishes and begins to COM
fort himselfwith the thoughts that this is
off his hands, when he hears the well known
voice of the printer--"W copy again
early in the morning." and the poor editor
wends his way home racking his brains for
something new to cook up for the next din
ner.
And then the prudent housewife must
regard economy, and the cold remains of
one meal must be hashed and dressed M
in some new form for the next. Here again
there is resemblance; the editor often finds
himself under the necessary Of seeking out
his slender dinner by serving up, in some
new dress, the leavings of the former meals
In this ne is sometimes equally unfortunate
with his sister housewife, for his family
find itdificult to determine whetherhi dish
is made up most of meat, offsh or of fowl.
And to both it happens that their dishes
come on sometimes piping hot;----some
times too much pepper, then too much salt;
and again an over quantity of vinegar; and
not unfrequenty their families think the
seasoning has been all forgotten, and the
fire has failed to perform its duty. Then it
is well for both if they escape having the
whole dashed in their faces by some disap-
pointed gourmand.-Cin. Journal.

PUNCTUALITY.

A puntual man is rarely very poor man,
and never a man Of doubtful credit. His
small accounts are frequently settled, aud
he never meets with difficulty in raising
money to pay large demands. Small debts
neglected, ruin credit, and when man has
lost that, he will find himself at the bottom
of hill that he cannot ascend.

fault with another for manners.-They NAV

if there is any standard of maners, il is foun.

ADIGul-and can this simple word
Blot out remembrance from the soul,
When thy sweet voice no more is heard,
And oceans waves between us rolli
No, here, on friendships altar bright;
Shall memory beam in living light
When llfe's duh eve shall wane IN gloom
And times fast falling sands run low
When death points sternly to the tomb
And worldly scenes no longer glow;
Then, even here, shall memory bring
Her pure and holy offering,

Unruffied by the storm of wo--
Till death press his cold seal upon
Life's fairest impress here below;
Then may we meet in courts abovs
And know again that God is love.
