my in every thing, even in time; be neat and
tidy, rise early, and keep to some useful puE-
lpose; dress so as to preserve your health,
leare nothing for others to do that you can
accomplish yourselves; cultivate your minds
and eschew the least appearance of evil in
your manners and conduct; so shall you en-

fair chance Of becoming united to some
clever industrious youth in the bands of
matrimony, and Of becoming a first rate
wife and mother, ''ruling your own house,
hold WE'LL" and dispensing blessings all
around you.
Active AND PASSIVE LovE.-There are
two kinds of love, the GctiUe and the pas
size, and wen give the Little Genius credit
for finding il out. When a man stays out
late at night, gets corned, strolls carelessly
home, goes whistling up stairs and is met
at the top by his ''cara sposa" who combs
his head and brandishes broom stick and
uses her voice actively, that is love in the
active VOICE. When a pretty girl takes a
kiss with perfect composure, and looks as
if she wouldn't care if she took two or three
more, that is the passive love. We are not
considered difficult 10 please, but when it
comes to love, we certainly prefer the pas
sive to the actively. o. Pic.

There is an old instance illustrating the
comical mistakes which happen from neglect
ing the proper position of points,
The lady of a mariner about to sail on a
distant voyage, sent a note to the clergy
man Of the parish, expressing the following
naming:
"a husband going to sea: his wife desires
the prayers of the congregation"
Unfortunately, the good matron was not
skilled in punctuation, nor had the quick
vision. He read the note as it was written:
"A husband going to see his wife, desires
the prayers of the congregation"
