THE WIFE.-liow sweet to the soul Of
man (says Hieroces) is the society of
beloved wife, when weared and broken
down by the labors of the day; her endear-
ments soothe, her tender cares restore him.
The solicitude and the anxietics, and the
heaviest misfortunes of life are hardly to
be borne by him who has the weight Of
business and domestic cares at the same
time to contend with. But how much light
er do they seem, when after his necessary
avocations are over, he returns 10 his home,
and finds there partner of all his griefs
and troubles, who takes for his sake her
share Of domestic labors upon her, and
soothes the anguish of his anticipation. A
wife is not, as she is falsely represented and
esteemed by some, burden or q sorrow to
man. No; she shares his burdens and she
aIleviates his sorrows; for there is no diff
Guilty so heavy or insupportablc in life. but
it may be surmounted by the mutual labors
and the afiectionatc concord Of the holy
partnership.

| TRUE GREATNESS AND NEDIoURIrY.-
IWarburton draws a very Just distinction
between a man of true greatness and
mediocrist. If" says he, "you want TO
recommend yourself to the former, take
care that he quits your society with good
opinion of you; if your object is to please
the latter, take care that he leaves YOU with
a good opinion of himself"
Nothing can be done in perfection, says
Kitchiner in his excellent treatise upon
