!" You, my DEAR" replied the husband
When the vase was broken-Yes, Mar
tha, that little matter has come to light
you taught the little things to soldier it up
and to conceal the fact from their father !;
and you then, not only afforded them a
lesson in the art Of cheating yourself, but
gave them kiId ofinstruction, that being
pesevered in, might easily lead them, by
and-by, to commit fraud, forgery, or en-
bezzlement."
"Bless me, James ~ exclaimed tho wife,
coloring still more deeply, and becoming
emboldened to defend herself" what a
dreadful serious way you have of talking
about things Now the fact is, that it is
because you are such har,l-thinking man,
James, and SO severe with the children
when they do wrong, that dare not be
candid with you sometimes"
Some further conversation ensued, and
the result was, that James saw that there
had been fault on his side too, and he
resolved to amend it.

Second Love.

First love is a pretty romance,
Though not so lasting as reckon'd;
For when ones. awake from its trance,
There's great stock of bliss in the second
And cen should the second subsidc,
a lover should never despair:
For the worlds uncommonly wide,
And the women--uncommonly fair.
The poets their rapture may tell,
Who never were put to the test,
A first love is all very well,
But believe me the last loves the best.

courtship and Disappointment.

Miss Sukey Smith had flaxen hair,
Her daddy had the pewter,
Her eyes were grey, and looked serene,
Upon her favorite suitor.
That suitor was jolly youth,
So nimble, blithe and brawney,
The yellow fever took him OFF
One day to California.
And when I heard that he was gone,
ats now," said he, cor ncverr
shaved myself and creased my shoes,
And tried to look right clever
rugged myself from top to toe,
And caught and mounted Robin;
But all the way / rode along,
My heart it kept a throbbin',
And when reached her daddy's door,
1t still kept on a thumpin',
But when 1 saw that heavenly maid
1t kinder stopped a jampin',
Twas half-past ten, when at her feet
hhcI', anu yct erc ulIner,
With honied speech and winning ways,
had contrivcd to win her.
Some months elapsed----to set the day
now began to press her;
l'urged, entreated, plead in vain
In vain did caress her.
While matters where thus cross'd and pil'd
My clothes all growing secdy,
My rival from the mines returned,
Still for my Sukey grcedy.i
saw him kinder side up,
And. slip his arms around her.
When----heavens and earth! she let him kiss
Those precious lips! Coufound her.
told her that was surprised
My eyes had sure deceived me-
And asked her to renew her vows,
And from suspense relieve me.
When, don't you think, the tarnal gal.
Her thumb upon her smcllcr
Her fingers wrigglcd MS she said---
"Can't come it, little fcllcr.."
