Southern reveille. (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1851-185?, 1852-05-05

A HAIRY HoME-The first year of mar.
ried life i a most important era in the histo-
~ Of man and wife, Generally az il Is spent
% i almost All subsequent existence. Tho
wife and the husband then assimilase their
views and their desires, or else conjuring up
their dislides, they add fuel 70 their prejudi-
ccs and animosities forever afterwards.
IT have somewhere read, says Rev. DR..
Wise, in his Bridal Greetings, "af BRIDE
groom who gloried in his ccccntricities. IIo
requested the bride to accompany him into
the garden, day or two aaer the wedding.

cottage Giving his wife one end Of il, hc
rotreated to The other side, and exclaimed,
"Pull il over"
She pulled il a. his request as fr as sho
could lie cried.
"Pull il over"
II can't" she replied
But pull with all your might" shouted
the whimsical husband.
But in vain we're all the efforts Of the bride
70 pull over the line, 50 long as her husband
held on to the opposite end. But when he
came round, and they both pulled at one end,
il came over with great ease.
There" said he, as the line fcll from the
roof, you see how hard and Intellectual was
our labor when We pulled il opposition 10
each other; but how easy and pleasant It was
when We both pulled together. Il viii be 50
with Us my reader through life If We op-
pose each other, il will be hard work; IL We
act together il will be pleasant 70 live. Let
Us always pull together.
In this illustration, homely as itsmay be.
there i sound philosophy Husband and wife
must mutually bear and conccde, if they wish
70 make home heaven Of joy and bliss. Ono
alone cannot make home happy. There
must b unison Of action, sweetness Of spirit,
aud great forbcarance Of love in both hus-
band and wife to secure the great end Of hap
piness in the domestic lifc.-Ez.

The following is one Of the best things that
we have met with for a long time. We fear
moreover that il contains more truth than poe
try, although, Of course, there are exceptions.
The author evidently has had some expert
ence in the matrimonial line, and while this
sketch is true to the life in many particulars,
it is quite possible that the other side would
furnish a very amusing and instructive pic
ture.-Al5. Ezp.
AUNT HETTY ON MATRmoNY.
Now girls, said Aunt Hetty, put down your
embroidery and worsted work, do something
sensible and stop building air castles, and talk
ing Of lovers and honeymoons; it makes me
sick; it's perfectly antimonial. Love is farce
--matrimony is a humbug; husbands are do
nestle Napoleons heroes, Alexanders, sigh
ing for other hearts to conquer after they are
sure Of yours. The honeymoon is as short
lived as a lucifer match; after that you may
wear your wedding dress at the wash tub, and
your night cap to meeting, and your husband
wouldn't know it. You may pick up your
own pocket handkerchief help yourself to a
chair, and split your gown across the back
reaching over the table to get piece Of butter,
while he is laying in his breakfast as if it was
the last meal he should eat in this world /;
when he gets through he will aid your diges-
ton, (while you are slipping your first cup Of
coffee) by inquiring what you'll haye-for din
ner, whether the cold lamb was all eat yester-
day if the charcoal is out, and what you gave
for the last green tea you bought.
Then he gets up from the table, lights his
cigar with the last evenings paper that you
have not had a chance to read gives two or
three whifs Of smoke, sure to give you head
ache for the afternoon, and just as his coat
tail is vanishing through the door, apologies
for not doing that errand for you yester-
day-thinks it doubtful if he can to-day" so
pressed with business" Hear Of him at III
o'clock, taking an ice cream with some ladies

ears, stands little Fanny in the corner, puts
his feet up over the CRATE, shutting out all the
fire, while the baby's little pug-nose grows
blue with the cold reads the newspaper all
to himself, solaces his inner man with a hot
cup Of tea, and just as you are laboring under
the hallucination that he will ask you to take
a mouthful Of fresh air with him, he puts on
his dressing gown and slippers, and begins to
reckon up the family expenses! after which he
lies down on the sofa, and you keep time with
your needle, while he snores till 0 o'clock
Next morning ask him to leave you "a
little money!" he looks at you as if to be sure
that you are in your right mind, draws q sigh
long enough to initiate pair Of bellows. and
ask you what you want with il, and if half
dollar wont do. Gracious king as if those
little Shoes and stockings, could be bought
for half dollar. But that's the way with
'em, girls, and you'll find it out when you get
husbands"

How the Doctor got lost in his own
Door Yard.

DR.. Josiah Caldwell, who lived for many
years in the town Of Florence, out there on
the Western Reserve, in the Ohio was most
skillful physician, but with all one Of themes
excentric and absent-minded men in the world
except Margaret" bis wife. and she was
fully his equal
One Sunday morning the Doctor got caught
out in a tremendous shower which drenched
him to the skin. 1t soon cleared of, howev-
or, and Doctor Josh rode into his own yard,
where he took the dripping saddle from his
horse, and let him 20 adrift in the pasture.
The saddle he placed on a stout log Of wood,
which was elevated some four feet from the
ground. where the Doctor had begun to build
platform to dry peaches on.
After having got his saddle fixed 50 that it
would dry, he took the bride, and putting the
bits over the end Of the log, he stretched out
the rains, and hitching them to the horn Of
the saddle he then went in to change his
clothes and get breakfast Joshua, JUNIOR,
and Margaret, junos, were away from home
on a visit, and so the seniors sat down togeth-
er to their mornings meal.
When they were about half through, Jim
Atwood, farmer, who lived about eight miles
distant, came in, telling the Doctor he wished
he would hurry over to his house, as he reck-
oned he might be wanted over there before
night.
The Doctor promised to be there. and Jim
went off in hurry to the village after some
necessary "fxins."
When the Doctor finished his breakfast he
took his saddle-bags and out he went into the
yard, where he deliberately mounted his sad
die, and set out, in imagination, for Jim At
woods
For long time he rode on in silence, with
his eyes intently fixed on Buchan's Prac-
tice, which lay open on the saddle before
him.
Atlength he began to feel the effect Of the
fierce rays Of the midday sun, and looking
up from bis book. he discovered very COM
Portable house close to him, upon which he
sung out Justify for drink Of water
Aunt Margaret, who had been for the last
two hours very busy in the garden, soon made
her appearance with pitcher Of milk, and
after the thirsty stranger had taken a long
draught, the two entered into an animated
conversation, the Doctor launcing into raptu-
rous praise of scenery about the place, the
neatness Of the building, the fine orchard Of
peach and apple trees; and the lady who had
caught glimpse Of the saddle bags, made a
great many inquiries about the health Of the
neighborhood, &c.
The Doctor finally took leave Of the lady, as
suring her he would call on his return, as she
reminded him SO much Of his wife, who he
was sure would be very happy to make her
acquaintance.
The lady turned to enter the house, and the
Doctor had just gathered up the reins, when
Jim Atwood dashed up to the gate with his
horse in a lather Of foam.
"What in thunder are you doing, Doctor p
yelled Jim; "get off that log and come
along"
The Doctor was a great deal astonished at
first, but after a few minutes it got through
his hair that he had been all the morning RI
ding beach log in his own door-yard-CarPet
Bag.
