I shall give a sermea to-day drawn from
the following text: .ssa ~

The lady who, before atub,
Is not ashamed tosfing or rub;
Or on the floor ashamed to ecrub,
And cares not whd dealsiin to sec
Her laboring 50 soifanstrionsly,
Will make aewifc i6rsyousor me.
My hearers-it was'oGlained by Heaven
not by The deyil-tilats every man shoult
have wife and every woman be blessed
witha husband. Inthe5b beginning God made
two of the genus ato0p-of opposite sex
The one he elected positively, and the othel
one negatively, SO that @ten 5approximated
their mystical effect could be produced from
one OF. the other. Tle how why,and tic
wherefore no mortatsiiS yet been able to
understand, neither ISL necessary that he
should. The scxcssnaErally approach and
adhere to each fkfough some mystic
rious influence that. adults of no solution
Let it suffice thatitiss6s Wbenthe Creator
made Adam he saw that5t was not good for
him to be alone, so heslrE the MAN
took rib from his sids without the least
particle of pain-andt frsnsi he made Eve,
to be helpmate for liinls as well as fancy
plaything Now without tkGo@ing what love
was, they couldn't help aosing The moment
they set their eyes supoIS one another. He
cast sleeps eyes at her a a distance and she
threw some killing .glalces in return that
fired his soul, and set biisi,rart vibrating like
u splinter upona chcsnntTailin asou' wester.
They finally came togethEr just as naturally
as couple of apple seeds IN basin Of va:
ter. But situated assthegS@ere at first, and
having little orno manttst labor;to perform
Eve could lie of little 8;ility to Adam, and
Adam couldn't do a grea8dcal5for Eve. Sill
they loved and were to ssssist each other, in
case Of any emergent casHaliiy,and so when
they found that aprons 1Sslsre necessary, they
sat to and with the neede worked together
FIR mutual good. Eye:ofdynnderStoo plain
srwing-shc knowing n6fhing .about your
embroidery, lace. working, ,and piano playing.
The couple were perfectly ydappy in their rude
and rough state, until the old sarpint got
among 'em, and even thsnthey stuck TO each
other through thick a1dsthin-through all
the brambling yicissitudes of life, from Para
disc to Pcrdtion. = ss ~ Il:

Of husbands hare5bcen made miserable by

n wife you want is of good morals and knows
how to mend trousers, who can reconcile
peeling potatoes with practica or fashionable
piety, who can waltz with achuru dash, and
sing with teakettle, who understands broom
oogy, and the true science ofamopping-
who knits stockings without knitting her
brows, and kniis up her husbands ravelcd
sleeve of care, who prefers sowing tarcs with
her needle, to sowing tarcs of scandal with
her tongue. Such is decidedly "a .@better
half" Take herif you can get. her, where.
