she also finds disappointment, which only
makes her ten ms more restless, aud
perhaps reckless. In truth, she is after
something to love, to look up to, to
cling to, and become as it We're, part
of it. This something is sure to wear
pautaloons. She may have tried every

thought it woman's business TO make
love, and imagined how happy a fellow
would feel to have a pretty woman come
up 10 him 10 some dark moment, put
her arms around his neck, aud tell him
how sincerely she loved him, and only
him, and was Wiling to die for him, II
it wou uId only make him happy She
could do it so nicely-it would be just
ia her line-while it is 50 awkward for
him to attempt such thing. How fool
ish he looks aud feels, and how foolish
he really acts He even shamcs her
into silence, talkativc rs she Is, and he
would give anything in the world It he
were out Of the sciapc, or it she would

take the lead in what they don't know
anything about, is it any wonder that
they so frequently get shaved As 1t
is, the women make the best bargains
they can for themselves, which are bad
enough at the best.
Love making is decidedly woman's
sphere, and the self-sulticicucy Of man
has not been able to wholly shut her out
of it. Among barbarians ana Turks she
has no choice, no chance, but that OF
slave but in enlightened communities,
she manages TO have her own way to an
indefinite extent, depending on her
beauty, intelligence, and cunning She
practices her innocent little arts pretty
aficctively sometimes bringing about
strange accidents and meetings, and
often dealing in the most dazzling kind
Of coquetry. All this is very romantic
and pleasing to some one Of the mascu-
line gender, perhaps while some half a
dozen others feel vexed and jealous, and
sigh over the INCONSISTENCY Of woman.
Thus, as she is denied the direct road
to the object of her affections, she
reaches it by an indirect route, travelling
over and bruising any number Of hearts
that may happen to come in her way.
Nevertheless, she wishes them all well
aud the probability IS, il they could
have seen the motives that actuatcd her,
they would have helped her along, aLI
never been the worse for so doing They
then would have known something OK

The Neglected One.

Oh! look not, speak not thus again,
Nor try thy magic wand on me;
Thou wilt not feel, and yet canst feign-
| cannot, love, confdc in thee.
To thee my hearts a summer flower,
A minutes bloom, passing sigh;
| try to please n vacant hour,
Caressed, then thrown neglected by.
] could have loved thee-could ah, more
My heart was once most wildly thine;
But loving thee was hut to pour
Incense upon marble shrine
What to thee are vows and tears,
But bubbles gone as soon as touched;
Thy sighs forgotten as they rise,
Thy words unmeaning, though avouched.
I've yet enough of pride to break
The lingering relic of my chain;
And though love it for thy sake,
I'll never clasp its links again.

Husbands in little Things.

" All, Brown, how are you!"
why, Jones, is that your How
dye do, my good fellow :"
Such were the exclamations with which
two neighbors greeted each other, as they
met, one evening at sundown on thei,
way home from business After a few
inquiries about each others families, foI
both were married men, and the stereo-
typed complaints respecting the hard
times of which merchants complain as
proverbially as farmers do of bad crops,
Brown said to his friend,
" Suppose we try a few oysters,
Jones. I've found place where they
keep capital ones. You don't have
supper quite yet :"
No, there's plenty of time. I'll 60
with pleasure"
go the two husbands turned aside into
a saloon, where, in the course Of an
hours chat, they managed to spend halt
a dollar each, partl. in brandy and
water, "to make the OYSTERS" as they
said, digest "
Meantime, Mrs. Jones, the younger
Of the two wives, sat wondering why her
husband did not come home. She had
been into the kitchen two or three times
to see that supper was ready and being
kept hot, for Mr. Jones was one of those
men who neither liked to wait tor a
meal, no eat cold one At last, full
an hour after his usual time, the husband
made his appearance.
Take up supper" cried Mrs. Jones
running to the kitchen door. I" It's
MIR. Jones, I'll let him in myself" aud
as he spoke, she breathlessly hurried to
admit her husband.
"Supper's on the table, JONES'" she
said, as she clung to him. "l've made
your iavorite cake and hope it will turn
out well. Only am afraid it's half
spoilt by the delay. But l suppose
business kept you, aud 50 it can't be
helped"
The husband did not contradict his
wife. But, when he came to try the
cake, he pushed it away.
/" Isn't it right :" id the wife, the
tears coming iuto her eyes.
eyes, it will do" answered Mr..
Jones, "only it is not quite up to the
thing, besides Pm not hungry"
Poor lady! She fancied that these
last words were said in order to spare
her feelings, and that the reason her
husband did not eat was, because the
cake was bad. Her afternoons happi-
ness had consisted in thinking how
agreeably her husband would be surprised
at this delicacy. But this was all de-
stroyed now. She had no appetite her
self to eat, and really faucied the cake
tasted fat; in short, it was as much as
she could do to command her feelings.
Her husband saw and partially UNDER
stood her emotion. A single word from
him could have explained all, and he
knew it; but be vas ashamed, at first,

TO say he had been lettering on his way
home and afterwards it was too late.
At last he became angry with his wife
for being hurt, as men strangely will
when themselves in fault. 1t was a
miserable evening for poor Mrs. Jones.
Meantime Mr. Brown had also reached
his home. His wife was also waiting
for him.
Where have you been, my dear -
she said; " How late you are But
come, don't lose moment, supper's
waiting, and | want you to take me to
the concert tonight" And as she
spoke, she led. the way briskly to the
supper room.
A concert 20
Yes, my DEAR" answered his wife,
turning cheerfully around, land I've
promised sister Jane to meet her there
If we don't hurry, all the best seats will
be filled before we arrive"
Really, my love-" stammered Mr.
Brown a. he took his seat and began
curiously to examine his fork, not caring
to meet his wife's eyes; 81 am
afraid -"
He stopped. Mrs. Browns face fell
She knew from his manner what was
coming But she ventured, for once on
a rcm0nstrahce.
IL is only twonty Ave ee-.e Hepivoo,-
she said, and surely we can afford
that. | don't 60 any where, as you
know. | feel as if l could enjoy this
concert"
Thus urged, Mr.. Brown would, per.
haps have gone, if he had not already
spent half dollar himself. But that
settled the affair One extravagance, as
he reasoned, was sufficient. He did not
however, tell his wife why he persisted
in his refusal
"Pd 60 in minute-if | could af',rd
it, my love-" he stammercd, I" but fifty
cents here, and fifty cents there, soon
runs up-we may live yet to Sc the
day when We'll want even that sum"
Mr.. Brown, like many Others, was
always ready to preach but slow to prac.
tice. Scarcely day passed that he did
not spend something in an unnecessary
lunch ; but he never thought of curtal-
ing this item Of foolish expense it was
invariably his wife's comfort and rccrea-
ton that was made to suffer under the
plea of economy.
Ms. Brown sighed. She had been
married long enough to know that ex
postulation was useless with Il husband,
at least with Mr.. Brown. But the dis
appointment wasgreater than she thought
it wise to show

There are a great many husbands like
MIR. Brown, and quite as many, we ex-
pcct, like Mr.. Jones. In thousand
ways, indeed, wives suffer fro,n the sell
