| " The vlctuals were all on the stove the
usual time"
" It's strange they were not cooked"
said Raymond.
"Not at ALL" replied Mrs. Warren
there was no wood to cook them with"
In an instant Easy Warren then saw
what a "moral" there was in his novel
dinner, and, with a keen appetite, he
went to work on the wood-pile. He took
his dinner and supper together that day,
and he remembered that Mrs. Warren
said:
"Now, Raymond, whenever you leave
me without wood, you must eat victuals
that have been cooked on cold stove"
Many women would have stormed and
scolded, but Mrs.sWarren knew better
way to correct her easy husbands care
lessness, or shiftlessness, as the reader
pleases.
One day there was no -four in the house,
and Raymond was about to 60 with some
neighbors to attown-meeting, when his
wife hid his best coat, and reminded him of
the empty. flour barrel. Another day, his
corn was to be gathered, when a neighbor
desired him to assist him with his horses
and wagon. 1t was neighbor who had
often received favors, but seldom rendered
them yet Easy Warren could not refuse
him. But, when he went to hitch his
horses before his wagon, he found that
one of his wheels was missing Of course
the neighbor was disappointed. In the
afternoon, when Raymond expressed
wish to draw his corn, his wife told him
where he could find his lost wagon-wheel.
Thus was Easy Warren's household
managed, until he began to realize prac-
tically what the error of his life had been.
People said Warren's farm looks much
better than it did some years ago." Mrs.
: Warren never interfered with Raymond's
business except when he neglected it, and
then she never found fault or scolded, but
took occasion to show his neglect to him
in a manner which impressed him with his
injustice to his own interests.
Raymond's cattle were well cared for,
and were in good order. When his fences
were down, if he did not replace them,
his wife employed neighbor to make the
necessary repairs. His wife took the
papers and read she knew the state of
the market, and to oblige her, Raymond
had1 his grain in market when the price
was highest. Some people said:
"Easy Warren is a hen-peckedj hus-
band"
But he knew better; and he often
boasted that his wife was more of a
" business man" than he was.
They had lived together peaceably some
years, when, one day, Raymond was in a
good humor thinking over his prosperous
condition, and he told his wife "I'm
woman 's-rights man of the true grit. They
may say you wear the breeches, if they
please Pm satisfied to have you do the
thinking for our firm. And now l see
what fool I have been-I must make up
for my early shiftlessness."
He did make up for his early shiftless-
ness and under his judicious wife's train
ing, he became Industrious, instead of
Easy, Warren.
Mrs. Warren had the correct idea of
woman's rights and woman's wrongs. We
commend her management to those who
have easy husbands" Especially do
we commend it to those unfortunate women
who have earned for themselves the oppro-
brious title of " "scolds"

The Capitol on Fire.

WAsHINGToN Cry, Dec. "a, NJ.
! The Capitol is OH fire and it does
no: appear that any human efforts
can save it. 1t caught at daylight
this morning. The Congressional
Library is entirely destroyed. 1t
is intensely cold, and no water TO
be had.
Fifteen minutes later-StiIl burn
ling. The Engines cannot work.
1t is hoped the flames can be con-
I fined to the Library.
WASHINGTON, Dec. "a, p. IN.
The flames 10 the Capitol are
subdued-the Library and room,
above are completely burned out
fully three-fourtbs OF the library is
consumed, including the most val
liable portion and embracing many
valuable works which can'neverbe
replaced. No serious damage. ex-
Icept by water was sustained BY any
other portion Of the Capitol. The
fire is supposed 10 have caught from
the flues connecting with the fur
naces I'M the main basement of the
Capitol. The fire was discovered
about sunrise by a watchman.-
The Mechanics at the navy yard
were sent for, and soon with their
axes severed the burning part OF
the room from the dome, and thus
prevented the extension Of The
flames to the roof and domes of the
Senate and House OF Representa-
tlves. The marines from the navy
yard assisted the fremen and citI-
zens in conveying " ater in buckets
to the engine, which was placed
and worked in the centre of the ro-
tunda.. the whole building is COM
pleteiy flooded with water, altho'
there is still a great deal of fire in
and about the library, from which
columns OF smoke are rising.
The dome Of the rotunda was at
one time in great danger, but both
that and the two halls of Congress
are uninjured except by water: the
entire library contained fifiy-five
thousand volumes. of these about
10000 in an adjoining room were
saved. All the bnsts, paintings and
elegant fixtures haye'been destroy
ed. The loss is guessed al over
thousand dollars, but a
greater portion is irreparable. As
soon as President Fillmore heard Of
the IRE he repaired to The capitol,
accompanied by several members
Of the cabinet, and has personally
suPerintendcd the exertions made
10 save the building.

up between a young pair, tbe female

flower is intended to represent the
man. and the other half ii he woman:
and it is meant typically to imply
that, though separate bodies, they
are joined together at the heart If
the lover puts the flower in his hair,
it is sign that he wishes to preserve

it is a token that he has lost his re-
gard for her and wishes to be entire-
