The Wife.

1t is not unfrequent that wife mourns over
the alienated affections of her husband, when
she has made no effort herself to strengthen and
increase his attachment. She thinks, because
he once loved her, he ought always to love her,
and she neglects those attentions which enga.
ged his heart. Many wife is thus the cause Of
her own neglect and sorrow. The woman de-
serves not husbands leve, who will not greet

POCAIIONTAs,

BY GEORGE r. NORRIS.
Upon the barren sand,
A single captive stood
Around him came with bow and brand,
The red men of the wood.
Like him of old his doom he hears,
Rock-bound on oceans brim-
The chieftain's daughter knelt in tears
And breathed prayer for him.
Above his head in air.
The savage war-club swung
The frantic girl, in wild despair,
Her arms about him flung.
Then shook the warrior of the shade
Like leaves on aspen limb,
Subdued by that heroic maid
Who breathed prayer for him.
"Unbind him !" gasped the chief;
-" 1t is your kings decree!
He kissed away the tears of grief
And set the captive free!
THUS, ever thus, when in life's storm"
Hopes star to man grows dim,
An Angel kneels, in woman's form,
And breathes prayer for him.

WAR OF THE WoMEN.-About the year
743, the War of the Women, in Bohemia,
was brought to close. The legend is, that
previous to that fine the women had become
exasperated by the cruelty and harsh treat
ment of the men, and had succeeded in train
ing, secretly, bodies of their own sex, and
getting them accustomed to warlike exerci-
ses. The Archduke Primslas was feeble
prince, and when the women began openly
to exercise their female legions, he trembled
for his crown. They succeeded in obtain.
ing possession of Diewni and several other
smaller places. The head of these Amazons
was Wlaska. She had a council of seven
women, who sat abo"t her throne on golden
seats. They wee all distinguished by tho
success Which had attended their struggles
with men. Sarka, the prime minister Of
Wlaski, had enticed her lover, Styrad, by
her beauty, and by help of drugged potion,
had luled him to sleep, and then delivered
him over 10 the murdcrers. War was open.
" declared upen the men, and for time an
unexpected success attended the Amazons.
Waska permitted them to marry, but the tie
was only binding on tho man, and the son,
OF such marriages were to be mutilated by
cutting off the right thumb and binding the
right eye. The girls were to remain with
the mothers. and to be trained by them 10
warlke exercises, while The boys were brough.
up to domestic labors. The men at length
succeeded in raising an army, by which tho
Archduke was able to overcome this female
revolt, and the war was finished. Wlaska
was killed. her strong hold of Diewna taken.
and her followers slain or dispersed.

Choose loamy coil that's sandy,
Throw manure broadcast and thick.
Stercoracis should be handy,
That the work may 60 on quick.
II is best to plough in winter
., Deep ploughing is the only thing.
Use your labor without stint, or
It will be double in the Spring.
When you find the ground is drying
Let the kidneys then be freed
From the hole where they We been lying,
And select the best for seed.
Then in April, fall to planting
From the large potatoe heap;
LIT no little hands be wanting,
They re good as men, and twice as cheap.
Do not cut the root to pieces,
Nor let it into plaster roll
A kidney usually increases
Two fold, if you plantit whole.
Hills are best, for you can tend them
- All around with plough or hoe
Not too close or you will rend them,
And the offsets will not grow.
Keep down weeds and dress the hlsup,
ACt tuctlt uuNc UUtIl rain unQ SuU,-
Then the plant grows well and fills up,
And your summer work is done.
Now before the ground IS frozen,
Look out for q sloping spot,
Which, if dry, and rightly chosen,
Keeps the roots from growth and rot.
Six feet Deep the French have found out,
Roots will never terminate;
So, take the hint and dig the ground out,
When you want your planting late.
Having told you how 10 plant them,
Also how TO lay them BY,
Now for cooking, when you want them
For the table in July.
On the day you want to use them,
Take the kidneys from the ground,
or size, I is best to choose them,
Throwing out what are unsound.
Wash them clean and scrape the skin off.
One water never is enough;
Take the eyes and nubhins thin off,
And every little speck that 'srough.
Do not let them lie in water,
$50 the nice observers say)-
Not minute-not a quarter,
That will take their taste away.
When the fire is burning brightly.
huo tiIC WutcT DOlllTln not,
Sprinkle table-salt in lightly,
Then put the kidneys in the pot.
Eighteen minutes-sometimes twenty,
Cooks them nicely to turn;
Some say more, but that is plenty,
Every one must live and learn.
Pour the water of, and set them
On hot Goals that they maydry
But, mercy on me! do not let them
Burn or into pieces fly.
Some prefer them whole Mt table,
Others mash them IN the pot,
With butter! that is execrable,
And truly, you had better not.
How scandalous it is to bake them,
How barbarOus to fry them brown,
How vandal.like in balls to make them,
And with the hand to pat them down.
The only way ifyou ,ciH mash them,
Is with milk, that s new and sweet
If you want them fit 10 eat.
After MASKING, do not smear them
On the Top and all around,
For in that ,poy but few can bear them,
Let the mass be one rough mound.
One thing more-don't cook too many.
Just boil enough for each 10 taste:
Remember tpo will cost penny
Better it is to want than waste.
When potatoes roll in plenty,
And hard times the poor distress,
knowing that their food is scanty,
Give them now and then a mess.
