Hint to Husbands.

for the hints TO husbands Il contains, we think
well worth q transfer to our columns:
A few days since. Twas stopping for a time
in tho village of p. While there
accepted an invitotion from friend TO make a
visit at his house in the coiniry.-T arrived a
little before noon: my host took me to his gar
den. showing me his fruit trees. &c. Just
then wc were called 10 dinner. Hero found
a repast showed the careful hand Of a frugal
house wife, and she had dono honor to her
husband as we'll as herself in tho selection of
her garden sauce. and nicely cooked pair OF
chickens. We seated ourselves at tho table,
and. mr. Inst looked around moment and
then said, III don't know what to do with this =
cast n careless glance at the wife, bnt saw
a crimson blush man,led her cheek. and she
meekly replied. otis a picked up dinner,
nv dear, hut you may pass tho potatoes and
chic'ens first. IL you ple,sc."
All, thought I, could YOU have donc the
l,onnrs Of thetable without causing that blush,
which doubt not, was attended by an unseen
pang, The dinner passed. and accepted an
invitation to spend tho night. The afternoon
passed away, and my host returned from his
labors in tho field. saw him take the jack
from the nail! No, ne left it OH the floor with

toned meakncss, placed the jack on its nail,
and the boot in its proper corner. All.
thought /, you might have stopped those steps
for your wife. and, though but few in day,
they amount to good many in the course of
year.
Night passed away, morning came, and tho
wife arose. Was her fire built, and the tea
kettle boiling? All. no; saw her go to the
wood pile. and with an axe break up some
pieces of hoard to bnld her fire. But whore
was her husband all this time? pccpcd into
his room, and Lethc's soft veil was spread
over him on a downy couch All, thought I,
your wife will not last always and though
younger in years, far moro numerous arc the
grey hairs upon her brow than upon her hus-
bands. NV host was n generous hearted man,
and would have scorned the idea of being un
kind TO his wife. yet he did not realize that
kindness consists in trifing attentions as well
as in weghtier.

NAruRr.-Tho St. Louis times has the fol-

NATURE.-The st. Louis times has the fol-
lowing trait of Indian character:
An Indian named Pish-che to win, of the
Potawattanic tribe was somc months ago in
dictcd in the United States Circuit Court, for
introducing liquor into the Indian country with
ont license He was discharged. But in an
examination ofthe case just had in tho Office
of the acting District Attorney, an interesting
scene occurred. The prisoner had come from
his country, not under bail, but simply on the
promise of the head chief of tho nation. That
head chief the second chief tho prisoner, and
the Interpreter strictly fulfilling tho promise
given. All were present Mt the timc referred
10. The attorney asked tho interpreter to in
quire of the chiefs if they knew the nature of
an oath. The answer was. they did. 1t was
an appeal to the great spirit: but if they were
called on 10 tell the truth. their word was suf-
fcient. If it was found that one told an un-
truth in their nation, a council ofthe tribe wo'd
bo held: and on the fact being manifest, he
would be cxecratcd by the tribe, and tho in
jured person won!d kill him ustifably. lfthev
told truth. they would, at dcath, 90 to where
the sun sets. and bc always happy. Fan un-
truth was told, thev would GO down in the
earth to place of fire. They further added,
that an Indian always told the truth, but they
bad heard it was not always so with the white
faces. cna
The Indian, in this case, was evidently in
nocent, and was discharged. His voluntary
presence, with that of tho chiefs, speaks we'll
of the integrity Of tho nation.
Their simple estimate of the truth might
we'll be appreciated by great many to whom
it is commended.
