Order in affairs is one of the things on which
a mans success in life most especially depends.
The rules of order are mostly summed up in
these two precepts
l. A place for everything; and everything
in its place.
2. A time for everything and everything
in its time. rE

ANTIcIPATIoN.-A young lady of wealthy pa
rentage, fledgling from our most fashionable
boarding schools, type of modern excellence,
was recently united by the silken tie of matri-
mony, to gem of beau. The mammas and
papas on both sides being surrounded by all
the concomitants of luxury, determined to get
fine establishment for the young people, and
they were accordingly "fixed" in a splendid
mansion in Walnut street.
A few days after this, a school companion of
our heroine called upon her, and was surprised
to find SO many servants about the house.
"Why, Mary" said she, "what in the name
of sense, have you so many people about you
forw
"Oh" replied madam, eve hav'nt more than
we want. There is but one cook, one chamber
maid, two housekeepers and child's nurse. /
am sure there are not too many"
"Ea hal" said her friend, "what do you
want with child's nurse! Oh, that is funny"
Swell we hav'nt any immediate use for her,
but when we were married, Charles said we
would want one, and you know it's not always
best to let things be until the last moment"

"Letter A, No. l, Dove par very great way"

Mrs. Darlington says of weddings: like
TO tend weddings, as she came back from one
in church, and hung her shawl up, and replaced
her black bonnet in the long reserved bandbox
| like to see young people come together with
the promise to love, cherish, and nourish each
other. But it is solemn thing is matrmony
Il very solemn thing, where the minister comes
into the chancery with his surplus, and goes
through the ceremony of man and wife. 1t
ought to be husband and wife, for it isn't eve
ry husband that turns out to be n man. | declare

nuptial ring on my finger, and said: "With

keep dry goods store then, and thought he
was going to give me the whole there was in it.

afterwards that it only meant one calico gown
