MARRIAGE IN H1Gu L1rE.-The .New

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIrE.-The .New
Orleans Picayune contains numerous
account, in Il letter from Nicaragua, of the
marriage Of the Princess Adelaide Clotilda
Louisa Squashee, sister of the so-called
Mosquito King, to a sable gentleman, fa-
milarly called ':Jim -
"Thc royal palace was tastefully deco
rated with highly scented hides. Every
preparation being made for the celebra.
tion, the princess entered the palace hall
unattended, except by her pet goat. Her
beautiful black hair, creased with possum
fat, hung iii proiusion over her shoulders,
end contrastcd finely with her splendid
dress, which WAS made of a coffee-sack-
On the middle finger of her right hand
she wore a ricl and costly tin ring, made
from sardine box. The guests were all
assembled. but the happy lover had not
yet arrived. The princess became impa-
tient, and went to seek him. She found
him playing at marbles. She acccsted him
thus !: Jim, wcddin all ready an you no
cum!" Jim replied that he had come to
the 'clusion not to marry, cos if he did,
Victory wouldn't give her no more pen
shun.' The princess was terrified; but
lucky thought struck her. sJim,' said
size 'bimeby my buthcr die, then you'll be
king The words had their effect. Jim
threw his arms around the neck Of the
princess; their lips met; the sound that
followed was like that heard pulling bull
out of the mirc.

GOOD EFFECTS OF EARLY R1srSG.-
1t is related that King George LII, who
made the cause Of longevity subject
of Investigation, procured two persons,
each above hundred years of age, to
dance in his presence. He then reques-
ted them to relate to him their modes
ofliving, that he might draw from them,
il possible, some clue to the cause Of
their vigorous old age. The one had
been a shepherd, remarkably temper
ate and circumspect, in his diet and
regimen; the other, a hedger, had been
noted for his irregularity, exposure and
intemperance. The Monarch could draw
no inference to guide his inquiries from
such different modes of life, terminating
in the same result !; but on further in
quiry he learned that both men were a.
like distinguished by tranquil easi-
ness Of temper, active habits, and early
rising.

1t was by gentleness you won, and by
gentieness alone can you preserve, in
its brightness and purity the treasure
you have won.
Say not, ''she is my wife, and all
services are justly my due Your
thanks and considerate kindness are
more Justly hers. Mark well the ex-
preston Of your wife's countenance.
Does the light Of loving heart beam
forth as cloudless as when you first
claimed her as your bride? or is there
a mixed and settled expression Of care
and sadness, which to one wise in the
hearts mysteries, tells that ifes poetry
has become prose? Do lines begin to
trace themselves on the fair and open
forehead? is the voice constrained and
sad-the step slow and spiritless? Does
your wife often hesitate when she speaks
to you as though fearing rebuke?
Then be assured you arc embittering
her life, and should you survive her,
your own life also; for, however you
may look upon her now, and even be
unmoved by her tears and gentle ex-
postulation, as she lies before you in
her coffin, her eyes closed upon you
forever, and her lips sealed in death,
you would give worlds to blot out from
your memory every instance Of past
unkindncss. But no. they haunt you
to the last moment Of life. You may
be rich or grcat-yoar fame may cx-
tend to the utmost limit Of your ambi-
ton; but the harsh words, which bro't
tears to the eyes Of that gentle one who
lies low in the grave, and cannot whis-
per forgiveness, remain deadly weight
upon your spirit. In vain you create
a costly monument, or plant flowers
upon her grave, too late. too late! is
the only answer to your bursting heart.

A Brave Boy. A boy in New Jersey,
at various times, saved four lives before
he was ten years old. When little over
eight years old he saw his younger BROTH
er break through the ice where the wa
ter was four feet deep. He had to run
twelve or fifteen yards to reach the pond;
and remembering having heard his moth
er read story from one of Peter Parley's
clever books, of person saving another's
life, when the ice was not strong enough
for him to walk upon it, by creeping, he
lay down on the ice, crept to the hole
where his brother had broken through,
reached into the water, and pulled him
out by the hair, after he had sunk tho
third time. Creeping backward; he drew
the rescued sufferer to the shore. After
this he saved the lives of three boys at
the same pond; and in one of these in
stances showed as much coolness and
presence Of mind as any grown person
could. Seeing the ice was too thin to bear
him, he tried to borrow sled of boy
near by, who refused il; but, pushing tho
boy over, he seized the sled, and showed
it to the sinking lad, who caught hold Of
it and he, holding on by the string, pull.
ed him to the shore. We have only to add,
that this clever child was as good as he
was manly and brave. I ...5. 3.

A WORD To HUSBANDS.
by A WIFE.

Happy is the wire that can say, with
smiling face and joyful heart, 81
have never been disappointed in my
husband. He has in all things come up
to the high standard l marked out for
him, when l choose him from all the
world. as the one | could most desire to
honor, serve and love.'-He has ever
been as gentle and forbcaring, as ten
derby alive to all my joys and sorrows,
as I fondly supposed he would be, when
he drew me to his heart and promised
{ oh how tenderly } to love and cherish
me till death. Happy indeed, if she has
no more fear of a harsh cold reply, an
unkind look, or cutting reproof, than
in the days Of early love, when every
wish was anticipated, and every feeling
was consulted. How few consider that
love is a sweet and delicate flower,
which may indeed, be easily planted,
but which demands an ever careful and
tender hand to rear it, so that it may
not droop and die. 1t cannot be ex-
posed like a hardy evergreen, to the
chilly blast Of winter; it is a deli
cate house plant, which needs a foster
ing hand, and kindly atmosphere.
Oh, husband presume not too much
on the strength and unchanging nature
Of woman's lore. Fear to test it, by
exposing it rudely to the blighting in
tluence of Indifference, peevishness or
passion. Let not the gentle one, who
promised to 'love, honor and obey
with generous devotedness, and to whose
mind the last word though rather stern
in itself) conveyed only a pleasing and
tender image, be brought to feel the
harshness OF authority. II she have a
true woman's heart, she has often
thought and felt how delightful it would
be to yield everything to you; but her
spirit will rebel against anything like
tyranny in the man she loves. DO not
change the persuasive request into a
cold demand, if you would preserve the
affections you were so solicitous to win.
That in a dark hour Of unuttered sor-
row, which witnesses the upsetting OF
the fairy dreams Of love-when your
wife sits sadly contrasting the sweet
and winning attentions, the unmeasured
kindness and consideration, she once re-
ceived, with the present coldness and
apparent disregard Of her tendercst
feelings.-Think you she can forget
the time when she was always sure of
gentle words, and ready compliance
with the most trivial request? What a
pang is sent to her heart, as rccollec-
tons Of the past crowd upon her, and
she thinks of you, as you stood before
her in manly pride, the very ideal of
her dreams, and tenderly asked to know
her every wish, that it might be graft
fed. Once she mended your glove, or
performed some little Office equally tri-
vial, and received beaming smile, and
warmth Of thanks, which repaid her
thousand times. Now she dcvotes
day after day, her very life to your
service let her not listen in vain for
those blessed little undertones of love,
which once sent thrill to her heart.
