A WHISPER 10 THE HUSBAND.

The happiness of the wife is commit
ted to the keeping of the husband Prize
the sacred truth; and never give her
cause to repent the confidence she has
reposed in you. In contemplating her
character, recollect the materials human
nature is composed of and do not expect
perfection.
Do justice to her merits and point out
her faults; for do not ask you to treat
her errors with indulgence, but then en-
deavor to amend them with wisdom, gen.
tleness and love.
Do not Jest about the bonds of a mar
ried state. Make it an established rule
to consult your wife on all occasions -
Your interest is hers; and undertake no
plan contrary to her advice and appro-
baton; then if the affair turns out ill, you
are spared reproaches both from her and
your own feelings. There is in woman
an intuitive quickness, a sagacity, pen
| etration and foresight into the probable
consequences of an event, that make her
peculiarly calculated to give her opinion
| and advice.
If you have any male acquaintance,
whom, on reasonable grounds, your wife
wishes you to resign, do so. Never wit
ness tear from your wife with apathy
or indifference. Words, looks, actions -
all may be artificial; but a tear is une-
quivocal; it comes direct from the heart,
and speaks at once the language of truth,
nature and sincerity! Be assured, when
you see tear on her cheek, her heart
is touched; and do not, aga repeat it,
do not behold it with coldness or insen-
sibility
Let contradiction be avoided at all
times
Never upbraid your wife with the
meanness of her relations; invectives
against herself are not half so wounding
Should suffering of any kind assail your
wife, your tenderness and attention are
particularly called for. A look of love.
word OF pity or sympathy, is some
! times better than medicine.
Never reproach your wife with anv
personal or mental defect; for a plain
face sometimes conceals heart of ex-
qulslte sensibiity and merit, and her
consciousness of the defect makes her
awake to the slightest attention or mat
tention. Then in the pressace of 9th
ers, let your wife's laudabIe pride BIO in
duiged by your showing you think her
an object of Importance aad preference.
The most trivial word or act of attention
and love from you grati6es her feelings;
and man never appears to more advan-
tage than by proving to the world his afr

Cur DIRECT. A young lady, with a
horse and wagon, was driving from Nor
walk to Westport. She overlook a
young man going the same way, and as
her horse became rather unmanageable
she requested him to jump in and drive
for her. AS he was getting up into the
wagon, Myp said she, you have been
drinking rum!' and, pushing him, she
put whip to the horse, and dashed off as
though 'Old Nick' was after her. The
young man afterwards declared that she
must be one of the smelling committee,

BY MISS H. F. GOULD.
s .qct aoeH your part, there all the honor les u
The shoemaker sat amid wax and leather,
With lapstone over his knee,
Where, snug in his shop, he defed all weather,
Drawing his quarters and soles tog ether;
A happy old man was he.
This happy old man was so wise and knowing,
The worth of his time he knew;
He bristed his ends, and kept them going,
And felt to each moment stitch was owing,
Until he got round the shoe.
OF every deed that his wax was sealing,
The closing was firm and fast;
The prick of his awl never caused feeling
pain ito the toe; and his Skill in healing
WAS perfect and true, to the last.
Whenever you gave him foot to measure,
With gentle and skilful hand,
He took the proportions with looks Of pleasure,
As if you were giving the costlest treasure,
Or clubbing him lord of the land.
And many one did he save from getting
A fever. or cold, or cough,
For many foot did be save from wetting,
When, whether in water or snow twas setting,
His shociug would keep them off.
When he had done with his making g. mending,
With hope and peaceful breast,
Resigning his awl, as his thread was ending,
He passed fron his bench to The grave desceud-
ing
AS high as king to his rest.

SINGULAR DEATH OF CHILD. An
interesting child about six months old,
daughter Of Deacon Moses Wheelock
of Barre, Mass, lost her life on the 10Th
ult., in most singular manner. An at
tendant left the room where she was ly-
ing quietly on bed, and returning in a
few minutes, the child was found to have
crept to the side of the bed near the wall
and slid off. Her body passed between
the bed and the ceiling, through an aper-
ture not big enough to admit her head,
and she remained suspended by the chin
until life was extinct. Times.

A Lenr from the g Annals OF ono poor.,,


That precious juvenile who uttered the
expressive exhor.ation--" Kick him Bill
he s got no friends !"--had perfect
knowledge of human nature. He was
decidedly philosopher, and had studied
"lhe race" with no small success. He
fully appreciated the maxim which regu-

We dare say there are many who know
so little of human nature, land are so ignor-

that in this very christian city, and
amongst the officers of charitable insti-
tuition, there is an individual, who gave
the other day, a demonstration of heart
lessness and brutality, which casts the
philosophic school boy, TO whom we just
now alluded, completely into the shade
Well, believers in the dignity of our ma
ture, and the tender mercies of official
dispensers of aims, we pity you, but ask
you 10 listen to the following recital:

sented herself as an applicant for aims at

sat at a desk in The Office.
Sir, have no home, replied the poor

and then 18th repnlsive grin, intended

There was no installing those accents,
they were the truthful offspring Of brok,

aims was too much of a philosopher to be
moved. The grin became more hideous
than before, and looking the wretched
woman hard in the face he said
We'll, well, l suppose your husband

you had better go after some other man.

WHOLESALE Truth. The swaggerer
is invariably an impostor; the man who
calls loudest for the waiter, who treats him
worst, and who finds moro fault than any
body else in the room, when the com
pany is mixed, will always turn out to be
the man Of all others the least entitled,
either by rank or intelligence, to give
himself airs. People who are CONSCIOUS
of what is due to them never display ir-
rltability or impetuosity; their manners
insure civility, their ciVility secures re-
spect, but the blockhead or the coxcomb,
fully aware that something more than Or
binary is necessary to produce an effect,
is sure whether in clubs or coffee rooms,
to be the most lastidious and captious OF
the community, the most overbearing in
his manners towards his inferior, the
most restless and irritable among his
equals the most cringing and subseryi-
ent before his superors.

their snowy outlines within view of my

vited to spend the evening at the dwell
ing of one of her young associates. -
Several persons were present Of both
sexes. The sun was just setting, pour
ing its soft rich light into the apartment.
Suddenly, in the midst of unwonted gai-

trightful shrek, and was gazing with

open window; and pointing with her rig

drew at once the attention OF her com

He stood there alone at that shadowy hour,
By the swinging lamp dimly burning;
All silent within save the ticking type,
All without, save the night-watch turning;
And heavily echoed the solemn sound,
AS slowly he paced DER the frozen ground.
And dark were the mansions so lately that shone,
With the joy of festivity cleaning,
And hearts that were beating in sympathy then,
Were now living it DER in their dreaming,
Yet the PRINTER still worked at his lonely post,
AS slowly he gathered his mighty host.
And there lay the merchant all piowed in down,
And building bright hopes for the morrow,
Nor dreamed he that Fate was then weaving wand,
That would bring to him fear and sorrow;
Yet the PRINTER was there in his shadowy
room,
And he set in his framework that rich mans

The young wife was sleeping, whom lately had
bound
The ties that death only sever;
And dreaming she started, yet woke with smile,
For she thought they were parted forever
But the PRINTER was clicking the types that
would tell
On the morrow, THE TRUTH Of that midnight
spell!
And there lay the statesman, whose feverish brow
And restless, the pillow was pressing,
For he felt, through the shadowy mist OF his dream,
His loflest hopes now possessing; lgloom,
Yet the PRINTER worked on mid silence and
And dug for ambition its lowliest tomb
And slowly that workman went gathering up
His budget of grief and of gladness,
A wreath for the noble, grave for the low,
For the happy cup full of sadness:
Strange stories of wonder, TO enchant the ear,
And dark ones Of terror, TO curdle with fear.
Full strange are the tales which that dark host
