CHEERFULNEss IN A WIFE.

Charles Dickens, whose writings contain
much 10 admire, and show keen perception
Of human character, remarks upon this subject
as follows:
"a woman may be Of great assistance TO her
husband, in business, by wearing a cheerful
smile upon her countenance. A mans per-
plexites and gloominess, are increased hun
dred fold, when his better half moves about
with a continual scowl upon her brow A
pleasant, cheerful wife, is as rainbow sci in
the sky, when her husbands mind is tossed
with storms and tempest but dissatisfied
and frelful wife, in his hour Of trouble, is like
one Of those Gends who delight TO torture
lost spirits"
Another writer expresses similar views, in
language equally Gorcibly, but not altogether
so practical. He says, "Good humor in a
wife is like gold leaf on pill IT does DO,
alter the dose, bu; it makes it go down"

HOW TO CATCH SHEEP KILLING DOGS.


Mr.. James Young, Of Bagdad, Tennessee, in a
communication to the Editors of the Tennessee
State Agrculiurist, says:
Some years ago, learned from your paper,
how to make dog-pen, TO catch sheep-kilng
dogs; which was TO make it with rails, similar
10 partridge trap, drawing in every round until
it gets about six feet high, leaving hole at the
top about two feet square. had occasion 10 Try
that plan; some few dogs would climb TO the top
and 90 in. saved few dogs that way. But
necessity is said to be The mother OF invention,
and the dogs made such havoc among the sheen
in my neighborhood, that invented a trap-door
which is really nice and complete way TO coop
them.
i sawed out door at the bottom about eight OF
ten inches square, (more would not hurt j ] then
drove stake down in the ground inside of the
pen or the opposite side from the door; at the
upper end of the stake made a notch and fixed
triggers, like those Of bird trap, and tied piece
Of sheep meat to one of the triggers, (when the
sheep is gone any other meat Will do,) / then got
small puncbeoD, about two feet long, and tied a
rope in the upper end of it, suspending it mme-
diaey over the door, and tied the other end OF
the rope 10 the top or middle trigger, passing over
The top of the pen; when the dogs get hold oil
the meat, it pulls the trigger, and down they
come, letting the puncheOn door shutter fall al
the same instant, then he is fast. When dog
catches sheep and leaves it, he is sure 10 come
back the next night, and if you have trap a.
round the sheep, you are sure TO have him; next
morning right soon, go and shoot him and drag
him of. You may get one nearly every morning
until you get all the runabout sheep-killng
dogs. have tried it, and tried it successfully
and some Of my neighbors have taken pattern by
my pen, and have saved their sheep.

GERMAN LOVE.

The story we give below, could only have hap
pened In Germany or be related OF Germans. A
young girl of twenty-one, Rose Kebe shop
tender, became acquainted with student of phar-
macy, one Theophus Keppler. This acquant-
ance apparently very slight, was soon forgotten
by the young man, but excited love, violent al
most TO madness, in the heart Of Rose. pea.
SAINT girl, an intimate friend of Rose, who had
discovered the secret OF her passion, made a
! shameful profit of its intensity. She addressed
the poor girl letters purporiing to be written by
kepler, ard cajoled her for fourteen years. Du-
ring the whole of that period she never once saw
her fancied berothed but letters asking for mo.
ney, sugar, brandy, and even linen, poured thick
| upon her. The excuses for not seeing her were
OF The most strange and improbable nature {;
such as that in consequence of detention in RI OIL
land, constructed expressly for the failure on his
examination, he was taken 10 house Of punish
ment of defeated candidates. Such was the tenor
of all the correspondence; misfortune seemed to
have rained on him. At one time he had brok en-
AN arm, at another a leg. Sickness, SUFFERING.
and especially desttution afflicted him the last
being an appeal enduring and unending. Rose
at different periods, had sent eleven thousand
francs, an enormous sum for one in her posi-.
| ton 10 collect, for which she was obliged to deny
herself all but the necessaes of life, and TO sa-
crlfice her little palr:mony and that of a sister
AT last, after fourteen years of continued ankle
lies and prvationS, Rose read in the newspaper
an announcement Of the death of Theophilus
Keppier, anolhecary, of Winierbach, whose dis
consulate widow and afflicted children, &C.
rhereupon, on complaint to the authorities the
criminal who had withered her youth and wasted
her property was found in her bosom friend
The punishment inflicted is fourteen years con-
fnement in dungeon, from which, during GER

Builds on the ground her lowly nest,
And she that doth most swcetly sing,
Sings in the shade when all things rest (:
In lark and nightingale we see
What honor hath humility.

The weight of glory bends him down
The most when high his soul ascends
Nearest the throne itself must be
The footstool Of humility.
