A Wife Wanted.

"H d. not good for man to be Alone"
81 want, who does not want wife?"
A bosom friend, a friend for life,- n
Whose generous love, in woe or veal,
May round my heart like sunshine steai
Smiling the clouds Of care away,
And making hours of darkness day.
want wife, whose noble worth
May lure me from the snares of earth #-
Whose feryent love shall link with mine,
And round my heart its tendrils twine,
Embracing, while its tender cords
kind support in grief affords.
Iwant wife to share my joy,
And when the cares Of earth annoy, ~EE
To syrnpathize with feeling heart,
Joy to receive and joy impart-
faithful sharer Of my lot h
Each open feeling and each thought, II.
Iwant a wfe-oh /! base the soul
That back upon itself can roll
The warm affections God has given
To yield a sweet foretaste Of heav'n,
And in itself absorbed can steel
Its nature 'gainst what others feel.
want wifel IT'S not the form
The eye or smile my heart can warm;
These may the gaze attract awhile,
moment may the heart beguile-
love the lovely, but the whole
OF oveliness is in the soul.
] want wife-for well know
The thoughts that in my bosom glow
Are far too tender in their tone a4.--
To yield me happiness alone.
My whole experience here has been ...,-
That happiness was born twin" DAVE.

Written for the Thibodaux Minerva.
A Teachers Tribute.

TO LITTLE REBECCA.
Pale, still, and cold she lies,
Calmly, with folded eyes
Lily Of Paradise,
Plucked for the skies!
1t seems but yesterday,
When with her schoolmates gay,
Loving and glad as they,
She was at play
Gentle and truthful one! :.
Never thy setting sun,
Saw any task undone
Day had begun!
Thy tasks are over now!
Duty all done below,
Twas not too soon to go,
Darling we know
Teacher and class for thee
No more on Earth shall be;
Taken up tenderly,
Higher than we,
Where the sweet cherubim
Swell high the Saviour's hymn
Where day is never dim
Learn'st there Of HIM .
Blessed, to die 80 young!
Thou shalt teach US, ERE long,
First Of that shining throng,
Heavens "new song !"

PA1Nr1Ne.-A new method of painting g
has been discovered and employed by the
celebrated Horace Vernef It consists in
making the colors with olive oil. When the
picture is painted, the back of. the canvass
is covered with a coating of fuller's earth,
which draws the oil through, and absorbs il
entirely. The painting is thus reduced TO the
to the nature of the paste. The fuller's earth
is then removed from the canvass and Al
coat of linseed oil is applied, always at the
back; the colors in their turn, imhibe this
oil, and the melowed tones Of the old mas
tiers are obtained

A TUSCAN JoKE-Florence has been lately
astonished by an attempt on the part of the
Grand Duke to make bon mot. An in.
habitant of Lucca happened to pour some
water out of the window Of his house, and
on the head of the Grand Duke, who was
passing at that moment. The poor subject
horror struck, rushed down stairs, and, fall.
ing on his knees, implored pardon. .Never
mind, never mind" answered his sovereign.
"only it's lucky it was not an Englishman
that the accident happened to, for if it had
been. half an hour hence should have beer
involved in a diplomatic correspondence"
