.MdtriHn0ny--Therc is sort of homely
sense running through Grant 1horburn $
writings that gives them currency. He ad-
vses young men to get married and says
In choosing wife, let. her be of family
not vain of their name or connections, but re-
markable for their simplicity of manners and
integrity of life Let her be- alike free from
'formity and hereditary disease; neither fix
ypur eyes on a celebrated bcauty-shc is apt
to be too proud of her pretty face, and afraid
to soil her delicate hands. The woman who
performs light services in the family, is always
the most healthy, the most happy, and the
most contented-for thus she gains The appro-
baton of her husband and of her own con-
science. The woman who leaves her family at
four or five every day, running about and maxi
ing calls, is always unhappy for conscience
says-you have been sowing the wind, you
shall reap the whrlwind Beauty is a very
desirable ingredient in choosing a wife you
will be proud of your handsome wife when you
introduce her to friend but by all means
find out if you can, whether or not she is rain
Of her bcduiy If yon find she is daily washing
her (already) pretty face with the milk of
roses, and patent cosmctics-that she is daily
pouring water and Macassar oil on her (already)
glossy hair--if this is the case, it is rather an
alarming symptom A handsome woman never
looks so well as when she don't know it
Good nature rs another necessary virtue in
a wife After marriage, if woman does not
pque herself on her knowledge of family af-
fairs, and laying out her money to the best adj
vantage, let her be ever so sweet tempered,
gracefully made, or elegantly accomplished,
she is wife for man of business. When
people are harnessed, they must draw together
Ii is a mans duty to give to his wife; it is the
woman 5 duty to use il with the most scrupu-
lous economy. Continue to treat your wife
with the same chceriulness on your brow, the
same tenderness in your eyes, the same ob-
ging turn in your behavior with which you
were wont to treat her in the days of court
ship if you do this, her love will never
change. Above all things, never let her
imagine il penance for you to stay at home
or that you prefer anv company Whatever to
hers let her share with you in I'll your plea

POpery and PrOtestdniSm was stated a
the late anniversary of the London Protestant
Society as a singular fact, that while Popery
was increasing in England, large numbers of
both priests and lay members of the Roman
Catholic persuasion in France and Ireland
were leaving that church and joining the Pro-
testants.
Sir d. Mackworth remarked, that he had
lately been in France and was happy to find
that Protcstanism was fast making It's way in
that country. lie had ascertaincd that in one
hundred parishes the churches were deserted
and the people universally called for and read
the Bible In Ireland, too, within a late
period, upwards Of forty Roman Catholic
priests, and above four thousand lay persons
of the same persuasion had come over to the
Protestant church.
