HINTS TO LovERs.-Ifa youth is woo-
ngly disposed towards any damsel, as he
values his happiness, let him follow my ad-
wise. Call on the lady when she least ex-
poets him, and take note ofthe appearance
of all that is under her control. Observe
if the shoe fits neatly-if the gloves are
clean, and the hair well polished. And
would forgive man for breaking off an
engagement, if he discovered greasy
novel hid away under the cushion of sofa
or hole in garniture Of the prettiest foot in
the world Slovenlness will ever be avoi-
ded by well regulated mind, as would
pestilence. A woman cannot be what is
called dressed, particularly one in middle
humble life, where her duty, and it is con-
sequently to be hoped her pleasure lies, in
experimenting and assisting in all domes-
tic matters; but she may be always neat.
well appointed. And as certainly as vir-
tuous woman is a crown of glory to her
husband, SO surely is sovenly one a
crown fthorns.-.Mrs C. HH
"Why neighbor Simple" said Mr. Far
sight, ole bright July morning, when Mr.
Simple was moving in lot, where the
grass stood so thinly, that the spires looked
lonesome WHY, neighbor Simple, you
had fine lot here, with strong soil, but
your blades of grass are SO far apart, that
they might grow into loop,holes and not
crowd each other" eyes" said Mr..
Simple, II we been thinking was almost
a fool, for ought to have sowed a bushei
of good hay-seed upon this piece, but the
truth is, bought only peck and SO I
scattered it about so much the thinner, and
now see | we lost ton or two of hay by
it," ''Well," said Mr. Farsight, "don't you
think, you was about as near being fool,
when you voted, last town-meeting, against
granting any more school money for sowing
the seeds acknowledge in the minds of the
chlldren,-as you was when you scattered
a peck of bay-seed. when you ought to have
sowed bushel Now, remember, neigh
Dor Simple, what tell you next year,
wherever there is not grass in this lot,
there III be weeds" Com. School Jour.
1t was the advice Of some one.-we cam
aot say of Nhom-that people should lay
their plans of life, as if they were to live to
old age; and to keep the ir books and ac-
counts, as if they were to die tomorrow.
Some of your do-for-the-present- men-as
poor Richard calls them-hardly extend
their calculations beyond the preasent dav,
and as for their books and accounts, they
keep them, if they keep them at all, as if
they were things to be adjusted and settled
by another generation. Such people are al
ways in sad condition. Every thing with
them goes hitler skilter They are Of con-.
sequence poor, iheil families suffer, and
peradventure they take themselves to
strong drink to drown their troubles, and
end their days in Disgrace Look over
your books often. Settle accounts at least
once year. Be punctual in your engage
ments-for punctuaity goes furthersthan
wealth TO insure man credit. Live with
in your means, land you will be sure to have
provision for sickness and old age.
