The Impudeni Rride.-Not long since,
in Lyerpool, as couple we're pg"Ing 70
be married, and had proceeded as lar as
the church-yard gates, the gentleman
stopped his fair comrade with the io''o"-
ing expected address:
"Mary, during our courtshlp tod you

shall insist upon three things "
"What are they," asked the aston'sh"d
lady. IA
sIn the first place." says he, 81 shal'

| shall find fault with you when there Is
no occasion for it. Can you submit to
these conditionsT
"oh YES, sir, very easily" she replied,
'lor it YOU lie alone, | shall not; II you
cat alone, shall cat first; and as to your
finding fault without occasion, that, |

Enru.-Those who initiate US We like
much better than those who eDdcavor to
equal US.
We often glory IN the most criminal
passion; but that of envy ls so shameful,
that we dare not even own IT.
Jealousy is, in some sort, rational ana
lust; il aims n, the preservation OF gooo
which belongs, or which we think belongs
10 us: whereas envy is frenzy that can
not endure, even in idea, the good Of 9th
ers.
Our appreciation of those who are just
entering upon the world, is often owing
to our secret envy Of those Who are well
settled in it,
Pride, which excites, often helps US to
moderate envy.
Envy is more irreconcilable than ha-
tired.
Envy is destroyed by true friendship,
rs coquetry is by true love.
Womdn's Voice - How consoing to the
mind oppressed by heavy sorrow IS the
voice oi' an amiabie woman! Like sacred
music, il inparts to the soul feeling Of
celestial serenity, and as gentle zeph-

soft me lliiluous tones. Riches may avail
much in the hour of affliciion--,he friend
ship of man may alleviate for q time the
bitterness of wo--but the angel voice Of
| woman is capable of producing lasting
effect on the heart. and communicates a
sensation Of delicious composure which tbs
mind had never before experienced, ever
in the moments Of highest felicity.
