Shouldn't like to make bonfire of all
the Hints to Young Wives Married
Woman's Friend &c., and throw in the
authors after them? l have little
neighbor who believes all they tell her is
gospel truth, and lives up to it. The
minute she sees her husband coming up
street, she makes for the door, as if she
hadn't another minute to live, stands in
the entry with her teeth chattering in her
head till he gets all his coats and mufflers,
and over-shoes, and what-do-call- 'ems
of, then chases round (like cat in a fit)
after the boot-jack warns his slippers,
and puts 'em on, and dislocates her wrist
carving at the table for fear it will tire
him.
Poor little innocent fool she imagines
that's the way to preserve his affections.
Preserve fiddlestick The consequence
is, he's sick of the sight of her; snubs
her when she asks him question, and
after he has eaten her good dinners, takes
himseli of as soon as possible, bearing in
mind the old proverb 'that too much Of a
good thing is good for nothing Now
the truth is just this, and l wish all wo-
men on earth had but one ear in common,
50 that could put this little bit of Cos
pei into it:-Just so long as a man isn't
quite as sure as if he knew certain
whether nothing on earth could ever dis
turb your affection for him, he is your
humble servant, but the very second he
finds out Tor thinks he does that he has
possession Of every inch OF your heart,
and no neutral territory-he will turn on
his heel, and march off whistling Yam
kee Doodle!'
Now its no use to take your pocket
handkerchief and 60 sriveling round the
house with pink nose and red eyes not
a bit Of it If you have made the inter-
esting discovery that you were married
for sort Of upper-servant, or house
keeper, just fill that place and no other,
keep your temper, keep all his strings,
and buttons, and straps on, and then keep
him at distance as house keeper should
- them's my sentiments l have seen
one or two men in my life who could bear
to be loved Gas woman with soul
knows how without being spoilt by it
or converted into tyrant-but they are
rare birds, and should be caught, stuffed,
and sent to Barnum! Now, as the min
listers say, IN close with an interesting
incident that came under my observa-
tion.'
Mr.. Fern came home one day when
had such crucifying headache that l
couldn't have told whether | was married
or single, and threw all old coat into nv
lap to mend. Well, tied wet bandage
over my forehead, left all flying and sat
down to it-he might as well have asked
me to make him new one however l
lined the sleeves, mended all the button
holes, and sewed on new bottoms down
the front, and all over the coat tails
when finally it occurred to me Ct believe
1t was suggestion of Satan) that the
pocket might need mending; 50 turned
it inside out, and what do you think !
found? A Lore letter from him TO mn
dress maker! l dropped the coat, /
dropped my work-basket, dropped the
buttons, l dropped the baby, Git was
FEMALE. and thought it Just as we'll to
put her out Of future misery, } and then |
hoped up into chair front of the look
ing-glass, and remarked to the Young
woman saw there, 'F-A-s-N-Y F-E-R-N!

The Paris correspondent of the London
Leader, writes Of Louis Napoleon:
Louis Bonaparte is now regularly
settled for the summer at ST. Cloud. De-
bauchery and excess of all kinds have
marvelously changed the man. He is
said to be quite out of health, and his
doctors tell him decidedly, that if he will
not change his manner of living. thew
Will not answer for his life. He is also
SAD to be worn down with anxiety and
WORK. detected and demoralized. He

the difficulty of escape"
