The WIFE,A BEING TO COME HOME TO.
And after all, what is it that man seeks
in the companionship Of woman! An in
fluence like the gentle dew, and the cheer
ing light, more felt throughout the whole
Of his existence, in its soltening healing
harmonizing power, than acknowledged
by any certain rule. II is in fact being
to come home to, in the happiest sense Of
that expression.
Poetic lays Of ancient times were wont
10 tell how the bold warrior returning from
the fight would doff his plumed helmet,
and reposing from his tolls, lay bare his
weary limbs, that wonan's hand might
pour into their wounds the healing balm.
But never wearied knight, nor warrior
covered with the dust Of The battlefield,
was more in need of woman's soothing
power. than are those careworn sons Of
toll who struggle for the bread Of life, in
our more peaceful and enlightened day.
And sill. though the romance Of the cas-
tie. the helmet, the waving plume, and the
aClarion wild and high"
may all have vanished from the scene, the
charm of woman's influence lives as
brightly in the picture of domestic JOY, as
when she placed the wreath of victory on
the hero's brow. Nay. more SO; for there
are deeper sensibilities at work, thoughts
more profound, and passions more intense,
in our great theatre Of intellectual and mo.
raj strife, than where the contest was for
martial fame, and force of arms procured
for each competitor his share Of glory, or
Of wealth.
Among all the charges which have Ia
ken place in the condition of making, it
is then not the least Of woman's privileges
that her influence remains the same. ex-
cept only as it is deepened and perfected
as her own character approaches towards
perfection. 1t is not the least Of her priv.
ileges, that she can still be able 10 man
which his necessities require that he can
retire from the tumul. Of the world. and
seek her society with zest which nothing
can impair, so long as she receives him
with true and faithful heart-true to the
best and kindest impulses of which her
nature is capable; and faithful to the sa-
cred trust committed 10 her care.
And that this is SO, how many a home
can witness-how many a Preside vel.

CALuMNY.-Station is sort of pillory, and
the man who takes an Office voluntarily, sets
himself up as mark, at which every low-min-
ded person can level his abuse. There have
been no exceptions to this; for it is impossible
for any man to escape censure, who stands
high enough for notice. 1nsigni6cance is a
better shield against calumny than all the great
and good qualities that were ever found in the
human breast.
The fact is that in the genrality of cases,
they who 60 into public life, should have a
cuticular relationship to the s. armed rhinoce-
rosa hide, against which rife balls may be
Aattened, almost without attracting the atten-
ton of the individual at whom these leaden
pelltes are directed and sensibility so obtuse
that the thrust Of lance may be mistaken for
the equivalent to a musquito bite. But prac-
tice is great thing in these matta5s.-By prac-
lice, Mithridates trained hinsoH 20 swallow
poisons without serious inconvenience, and
with practice, the head Of least employ
ment," looses its "daintic sences," and can
almost handle fire without being uncomfortably
warm. Notwithstanding the difference of idi-
osyncrasy, which makes wound almost fatal
to one man, while it scarcely does more than
tickle another, it requires considerable prac-
tice, carried on by progressive lessons, to har.
den the human epidermis into that true politi-
callosity which can blunt broadsword and
turn the edge of razor, and which, in fact, if
it feels at all, rather derives pleasure than pain,
from the hardest of knocks. Never, until
man can smile with indifference when his fin
est sensibil:.ies are rudely scraped by meta.
physical sand-paper and moral oyster shells,
need he regard himself as qualified for lofty
stations. The Indian composedly sings his
death song when tortured at the stake: batthe
politician should be able to fiddle when not
only himself, but all his Rome is burning.-

THE RAINBOW.
I sometimes have thought in my loneliest hours,
That lie on my heart like the dew on the flowers,
OF q amble l took one bright afternoon,
When my heart was as lightas blossom in June
The green earth was moist with the late fallen
showers,
The breeze Auttered down and blew open the flow
eyD, s
While single white cloud to its havensof resi-,
On the white wings Of peace aoated of in the west
As threw back my resses to catch the cool breeze
That scattered the randfops and dimpled the seas.
Far up the blue sky fair pillow unrolled
liz soA tinted pinions Of silver and gold /;
Twas born in moment, yet, quick as its birth,
had stretched to the uttermost ends Of the earth,
And, fair as an angel, it foated all free,
with wing on the earth and wing on the sea.
How calm was the ocean how gentle its swell,
Like wonnan's soft bosom, it rose and it fell,
While its light sparkling waves, stealing laughing
ly DER,
When they saw the fair rainbow knelt down to the
shore;
No sweet hymn ascended, no murmur OF prayer,
Yet felt that the spirit Of worship was there,
And bent my young head in devotion and love,
Meath the form Of that angel that foated above.
How wide was the sweep of his beautiful wings!
How boundless its circle how radiant its rings!
If looked on the sky. twas suspendedin air,
II looked on the ocean, the rainbow was there;
Thus forming girdle as brilliant and whole
As the thoughts Of the rainbow that circled my SOUL
Like the wing Of the Deity, calmly unfurled,
Il bent from the cloud and eneircled the world.
There are moments, think when the spirit receives
Whole volumes Of thought on its unwritten leaves
When the folds of the heart in moment unclose
Like the innernost leaves from the heart of rose
And thus, when the rainbow has passed from the
sky,
The thoughts it awoke were too deep to pass by;
1t left my full soul like the wing Of dove,
1t Auttered with pleasure, ii futtered with love.
know that each moment Of rapture OF pain
But shortens the link in lifes mystical chain;
know that my form like the bow from the wave,
Must pass from the earth and lie cold in the grave
Yet, oh! when deaths shadows my BOSOM unciuui
When shrink from the thought Of the coffin and
stroud,
May hope, like the rainbow, my spirit enfold
In her beautiful pinions Of purple and gold.
