How TO CHOOSE WlFE.-"A place
for everything, and every thing in its
place" said the patriarch to his daugh.
ter. Select wife, my son who will
never step over broomslick." The son
was obedient to the lesson. "Now,"
said he pleasantly on gay Mayday, TO
one OF his companions, 81 appoint that
broomstick to choose me wife. The
yoaug lady who will not step over it shall
have the offer ofmy hand" They pass
ed from the splendid saloon to the grove;
some stumbled over the broomstick, and
others jumped overit. Atlength young
lady stopped and put it in its place. The
promise was fulfilled: she became
The wife of an educated and wealty young
man, and he the husband of prudent,
industrious, and lovely wife. He brought
fortune TO her, aud she knew how to
save one. ltwasnot easy todecide which
was underthe greatest obligation; both
were rich, and each enriched the ether.

As he spoke he looked along the table,

the boarders; aud the man who sat oppo-

which he had been endeavoring to smoth-

then collapsed, scattering dismay and
crumbs amid the nicely plated folds of
Dodgers shirt irills.
