noticing the withdrawal Of Mr.. Bissel re-
commeDds the party to support Mr.. Allen,
the Wing nominee, whose character and
principles the editor endorses in terms Of
high commendation. There is no doubt
that such a course on the part of Free

May YoU DIE AMONG YOUR K1yDRED-It is
sad thing to feel that we must die away from our
home. Tell not the invalid who is yearning after
his distant country, that the atmosphere around
him is soft; that the gales are filed with balm,
and the flowers are springing from the green earth
he knows that the softest air to his heart would
be the air which hangs over his native land; that
grateful than all the gales of the south would
breathe the low whispers OF anxious affection:
that the very icicles clnging TO his own caves.
and the snow beating against his own windows
would be far more pleasant to his eyes than the
bloom and verdure which only more iorcibly re-
mind him how far he is from that one spot which
is dearer TO him than the world beside He NAV
indeed, find estimable friends who will do all in
their power to promote his comfort and assuage
his pains; but they cannot supply the place of the
long known and long loved; they cannot read as
in book the mute language of his face; they have
not learned to wait upon his habits and anticipate
his wants, and he has not learned to communicate
without hesitation. all his wishes, impressions and
thoughts to them He feels that he is stranger:
and a more desolate feeling than that could not
visit his soul. How much is expressed by that
form of oriental benedction, May you die among
your kindred. Greenuood

WHAT Is REsPEcrABTLITY?-To judge from the
conduct and ideas of some persons among both
sexes responsibility consists in driving fast horses
wearing rich laces, drinking champagne, or idling
away life. To cut figure in society, on the pro-
menade, or at watering place, appears to be the
sole aim ofmany women, who surely were born for
better things. To cultivate a moustache, sport
two forty, trotter, act as a model exhibitor
of coats for some fashionable tailor seems to be
the conception of dignifed and respectable ca
reer formed by not few of the men.
Now being respectable, in either man or wo-
man, is, to notion, doing what is duty. The
poorest person, even in what is considered popu-
larly the humblest avocation, who pays his debts,
obeys the law. and fulfls his other obligations to
society and to his fellow creatures, is thousand
times more respectable than the wealthy idler
the educated spendthrift, the calIous mser or the
fashionable fool. So the modest female, whether
seamstress, book folder press tender, store keeper
or even house servant is in the true sense of the
word, infinitely more respectable than the extrav-
agant wife who is running her husband, than the
thoughtess votary of fashion, than the butterfly
flirt. In word, WORTH not wealth, constitutes
respectability. Phil. Ledger.

HINTS TO MoTHERs-If you wish to cultivate
gossiping meddling, censorious spirit in your
children, be sure when they come home from
church, visit, or any other place where you do
not accompany them, to ply them with questions
concerning what everybody wore, how every
body looked, and what everybody said and did,
do it in their hearing. You may rest assured, if
you pursue course of this kind, they will hot re-
turn to you unladen with intelligence and rather
than it should be uninteresting, they will by de-
grees learn to embellish in such manner as shall
not fail to call forth remarks and expressions of
wonder from you. You WILL by this course, rem
der the spirit of fcuriosity-which is so early visi-
BILE In children, and which, if rightly directed,
may be made the instrument of enriching and en-
larglng their minds-a vehicle of mischief which
shall serve only to narrow them

How TO TREAT A WIFE.-You may have great
trials and perplexities in your business with the
world, but do not, therefore, carry to your home
a cloudy contracted brow. Your wife NAV
have many trials, which, though of less magni-
tude, many have been hard to bear A kind
conciliatiAg word, tender Look will do wonders
in chasiE:, from her brow all clouds of gloom
You encounter your difficulties in the open air.
famed by heavens cool breezes but your wife is
often shut in from these healthful influences and
her health fails and her spirits lose their elasc-
ty. But OH bear with her. she has trials and sor-
lows to which you are stranger; but which your
tenderness can deprive of all their anguish. No
tice kindly her efforts to promote your comfort.
Do not take them all as matter of course, and
pass them by at the same time being very sure to
observe any commission of what YOU may consider
her duty to you. Do not treat her with indi ierence
if you would not scar and palsy her heart, which
watered by kindness, would to the latest day of
your existence, throb with sincere and constant
affection. Sometimes yield your wishes to hers
She has preferences as strong you and it may
be just trying to yield her choice as to you
You find it hard to yield Soneti1esz Think YOU it
is not difficult for her to give up arays7 If you
never yield to her wishes, there is danger that
she will think you selfish, and care only for
yourself and with such feelings she cannot love
as she might. Again, show yourself manly. so
that your wife may look up to you and feel that
you will act nobly, and, that she can contiJe in
your Judgment.

No night but hath its morn.
