& 10 HINTS .EoR HUSRAEDS.ai NJ,
The last number of the Ruralo New
Yorker, has g communication signed
''P 'chard y, describing IA scene in the
country ' which for the hints to husbands
it contains, we think well worth a trans
fer to our columns cd VI yis.1s >hsza
A few days sincelI was stopping for a
time in the village of r.. While
there I5aceepted an invitation from a
friend, TO make visit at his house in the
country 1 arriveda little before noon /:
my host took me to his garden, showed
me his fruit trees, DC. Just then we
were called to dinner. Here L found a
repast which showed the careful hand of
frugal housewife, and she had done
honor to her husband as well as herself,
in the selection other garden sauce, and
q nicely cooked pair ofgehickens. We
seated ourselves at the table, and my
host looked around a moment, and then
said-''I don't know what to do with
this" cast careless glance at the
wife, but saw a crimson blush mantle
her cheek, and she meekly replied It's
a pick ed up dinner my dear, but you may
pass the chicken and potatoes first if you
please"
All, thought I, could you not have done
the honors Of the table without causing
that blush, which doubt not was atten-
ded with an unseen pang. The dinner
passed. and accepted an invitation to
spend the night. The afternoon wore
away and nv host returned from his la
bors in the field. saw him take the
jack from the nail and remove his boots,
but did he hang it again in its place on
the nail ? No, he left il on the floor with
one boot in its claw. The wife with her
accustomed meekness, placed the jack on
its nail and the boots in their proper COR
ner. All, thought l, you might have
saved those steps for your wife, and
though but few in day, they amount to
good many at the end of the year. ~
Night passed away. morning came,
and the wife arose. Was her FIRE built
and the tea-kettle boiling? All, no, 1
saw her go to wood-pile, and with an
axe break up some pieces of board and
make her FIRE. But where was her
husband in this time? peeped into
his room, and 'Lethes' soft veil was
spread over him on downy couch. Ah,
thought l, your wife will not last always;
and though younger in years, far more
numerous are the gray hairs on her brow,
than upon her husbands. My host was
a generous hearted man and would have
scorned the idea of being unkind to his
wife-yet. he did not realize that kindness
consisted in trifing attentions as well as
in weightier matters. But bethink me,
saw Rural in that cot, and perhaps
my kind friend may recognize in me, his
guest; still think he will not take any
exceptions, as he is sensible man, and
will readily see that it was prompted by
an interest in his welfare.
And should any others find in this
bit of clothing store, a coat that fits 1
hope they will not fear to wear it until
they can find or make better.
