CoNNUBIAL REspoNsrpIL,rY.

Marriage is TO woman, at once the happl
est and saddest event Of her life; it is the prom
Use Of future bliss, raised on the death Of all
present enjoyment. She quits her home her
companions-her occupations-her amuse-
thing on which she has hitherto
depended for comlort-lor kindness--for plea
sure. The parent by whose advice she has
been guided-the sister to whom she had dared
to impart the embryo thought and leeling-the
brother who has played with her, by turns the
and the younger children, to whom
she has hitherto beenthe mother and the play
are 10 be lorsaken at one fell stroke,
every former tie is loosened, the spring of eve
ny action is to be changed, and yet she flies
with Joy in the untrodden path before her; buoy
ed up by the confidence Of requited love, she
bids fond and grateful adeu TO the life that
is past, and turns with excited hopes and joy
Gus anticipations of happiness to come Then
woe to the man that can blight such fair hopes
who can treacherously lure such heart
from its peaceful enjoyment-an the watchfui
OF hope-who can cowardlike, break
the illusions that have won her and destroy the
confidence which :love had inspired; woe to
him who has too early withdrawn the tender
plant from the props and stays of moral dis
cipline in which she has been nurtured, and
yet madeno effort to supply their places; for
on him the responsibility of her error falls
on him who first taught her by his EXAMPLE, to
grow careless Of her. duty, and then exposed
her with weakened spirit, and unsatished
heart to the wind and storms and the willy
ola sinful world"

DR.. Franklin's Wife.

Franklin, in sketch of his life and habits,
relates the following aneGdoto Of his frugal
wife. wife could scarcely make pref
tier apology for purchasing the first piece of
luxury.
1t was lucky for me that had one as much
disposed to industry and frugaity as myself.
She assisted me cheerluly in my business, fol-
ding and stitching pamphlets, and tending shop,
purchasing old linen rags for making paper, etc,
We kept no idle servants; our table was plain
and simple, our furniture of the cheapest sorf.l
For instance, my breakfast was for a long time
bread and milk, (no tea) and | eat it out Of a
two-penny porringer, with pewter spoon; but
mark how luxury will entire families, and make
progress in spite Of principle; being called
one morning to breakfast, found it in china
bowl, with a spoon Of silver. They had been
bought for me, without my knowledge, by my
wife, and had cost the enormous sum Of three
and twenty shillings, for which she had no 9TH
er excuse or apology to make but that she
thought her husband deserved silver spoon and
a china bowl, as well as any Of her neighbors.
This was the first appearance Of plates or CHI
ma in our house, which afterwards, in the course
ofyears, as our wealth increased, augment
ted gradually to several hundred pounds I'M
value.

THEFARM ER,s CHOICE.

"a little house well filled,
A little wife well willed
little land we'll TILED
Our ancestors were fed on bread and broth,
And wood their healthy wives in homespun cloth
Our mothers, nurtured at tho nodding reel,
Gave all their daughters lessons on the wheel.
Tho spinning did not much reduce the waist,
II made the food much sweetcr to the taste;
They Piled with honest zeal the mop and broom,
And drove the shuttle thro' the noisy LOOM
They never once complained as We do now,
''Wc have no girl to cook and milk the cow"
Each mothcrtaughther red cheekedson and daughter
To bake, to brew, and draw pale Of water;
No damsel shunn'dthe wash tub, broom or pail.
To keep unsoed long grown finger nail,
They sought no gaudy dress, no wasp-like form,
But ate to live, and work'd to keep them warm.
No idle youth-no laced, mncing fair,
Became livid corps for want ofar-
No fdgets, faintings fits, or frghtful blues,
No painful corns, from wearing Chinese shoes

LONELINESS is not the smiles of pretty
face, or the tint Of complexion, not the beauty.
and symmetry of the person, nor yet the costly
robes and decoration that compose thy artificial
beauty, nor that enchanting glance, which thou
IdaTtest with such lustre on the man thou deign-
est worthy thy affection, II isthy pleasing de-
pertinent, chaste conversation, the sensibiity1
and the purity ofthe thoughts, thy afFabe and
open disposition, sympathising with those mad
versity, comforting the afflicted, relieving tho
distressed, and above all, the humility OF soul,
that unfegned and perfect regard Of the pre-
cepts ofChristianity. These virtues constitute
thy loneliness, Adorned but with those Of ma
ture and simplicity, they shine like the relul-s
gent sun. and display 10 man that the loveli-
ness ofthy person is not ito be found in the tim
sci ornaments or the body, but in the reflections
ofthe recttude and serenity Of a well-sPent
life, that scars above the transient varieties Of
this world And whom thy days are ended
here upon earth, Thy happy spirit shall be waf
ted 10 the regions Of eternal bliss.
