He is so AMIABLE.


beautiful girl, gay, lively, and agreeable, was
welded to man of clumsy figure, course fea-
lures, and a stupid looking physognomy, kind
friend said to her one day, "NIy dear Julia, how
came you 10 marry that man ,"
She replied, the question is n natural one. My
husband, confess, is not graceful in appearance,
or attractive in his conversation. a. But he is so
amiabe" And goodness, although less iasena-
ting than beauty or wit, will please equally, ut
least, and is certainly more durable, We often
see objects, which appear repulsve at first, but if
we see them every day, we become accustomed
to them, and at length, not only view them with
out aversion, but with feelings Of attachment. The
impression which goodness makes on The heart
is gradual; but it remains forever Listen, and
| will tell you how came to marry my hus-
band.
81 was quite young, when he was introduced
for the first time into the house of my parents He
was awkward in his manners, and uncoulh IN his
appearance. My companions used often TO ridi-
cule him. and confess was frequently tempted
to join them, but was restrained by my mother,
who used to say TO me in n low voice, " he is so
was ALWAYS kind, and obIiging and whenever our
villagers assembled together at our fetes aud dam
ces, he was always al the disposal of the mistress
of the house, and was proluse in his attention TO
those whose ages or ugIincss caused them to be
neglected. Others laughed at his singulari,y in
this respect, but whispered to myself, he is SO
alniable!"
One morning my mother called me to her bou-
doir, and told me That the young man who is now
my husband, had made application for my hand.
was now placed in dilemma, and hardly knew
how to act. When | recollected his ill-fuvored
looks and his awkwardness was on the point of
saying, " will not wed hm;" and bushed for
him, which is n strong proof that even then felt
interested in him, but when recalled the many
excellent traits in his character, and dwet on his
benevolent and good actions, dismissed the idea
of banshing him from my presence. could no,
resolve to aillict him, and whispered to myself,
L" he is so amiablen' lie continued to yis, me en-
courged by my parents, and cheercd by my
smiles. My other admirers, one by one, left me,
but did not regret their absence. ! repeated
the expression, " he is so amiabe' so often that
it seemed to me to carry the same meaning as she
is so handsome" | loved him and took him Us
my husband. Since then have not only been re.
signed to my fate, but happy. My husband loves
me devou,ly, and how can help loving him, she
is so amable.'
There is something exceedingly touching in this
love which beauty enter.ains for goodness, and
there is no longer doubt that some women love
from feeling Of benevoence or tender compass
sion, regulated by reason. Such an affection will
know no change. 1t has a basis, and will endure
through life
