PATTERN WIVES.

Mrs. Violet was one OF your pattern wives
never laced her boots without consulting
her husband. Her dress maker always Stood
scissors an hand, till Mrs. V. had turned over
in his mind the relative advantages of houn-
ces and tucks. boddiGes and basket waists
Mrs. Violet was merely an echo of Mr. Violet:
her voice was soft and low; her notions slow
and proper; and she hung on his arm, and
cuddled up to his side in manner convincing
to the most skeptical that she was "the weak
er vessel" ......-
Now | suppose you think Mr.. Violet was
master of his own house. st. Peter! no more
than you are! There was look in the corn
er Of that little meek creatures eyes, that was
as good as a loaded musket; and Mr.. Violet
fetched and carried accordingly. Not that
she ever raised that musical voice above n
singing whisper; no indeed she left that to
the strong-minded, monster women. Never
theless, Mrs. Violet's knowledge of the world
was confined entirely to the length of her
apron string; still il is always husband" and
'dear Violet" even when the poor wretch
knew that his life wasn't worth two cents
did he abate zone jot or title" of his matri-
monal loyalty.
What gave me convusions was to hear her
defer to his opinion in company, and then to
see him fetched up in the middle of a sentence
at gentle reminder from the toe of her slip
per under the table
Every night Violet stepped into tbs confes-
slon-box, never daring to sweIve a particle
from the truth; so fully was he impressed
with the ilea of Mrs. Violet's clairvoyance
How he tended the baby, and tied che chill
dren's pinofores! how he sewed on missing
buttons, when the blinds were closed! How
lovingly Mrs Violet looked over his hymn
book in meeting How he didn't know any
more that you do. the contents of his letters,
till he had inspected the same, How Tommy
had Soldier cap" made of the latest news
paper befor his paternsl could get a birds
eye view Of it. How Mrs Violet gave him a
private tuition in putting on her shawl alFec.
tionately, which exhibition was to come off in
public the first favorable oportunity
How Mrs Violet died one day, and how her
husband drew a long breath, and vow ia
hnd her antpodes, if she existed on terra fir
ma--and how he married saucy little beau
W who cuffs his ears in public, and loves him
like ten thousand in private; who minds her
baby and darniug needle and leaves him il
undesturbed possession Of his liberty. Hap

for it, as a whole. But the difficulty with re-

Independently of its merits or dement's,
there were several reasons why it did not sue

change which il endeavored to effect was too

The middle ranks cannot doright When

Honor 10 the Plough

Though clouds o'ercast our native sky,
Aud seem 10 dim the sun,
We will not down in langor lie, t.t
Or deem the day is done.
lhe rural arts we loved before,
No less we'll cherish now,
And crown the banquet as of yore
With honor TO the plough. f.-I
IN those fair fields, where peaceful spoil
To faith and hope are given,
We'll seek the prize W th honest toll,
And leave the rest to heaven.
Wen gird US TO our work like men
Who own a holy vow,
And if in joy we meet again, a...
Give honor to the plow.
Let art array in magic power,
With labor hand in hand,
Go forth, and now in perils hour,
sustain sinking land,
Let never sloth uhnerve the arm,
Or fear the spirit COW;
These words alone should work charm,
All honor to the plow.
The heath redress, the meadow drain,
The latest swarm explore,
And o'er the long expecting plain
Dlfuse the quick ming store.
Then fearlets urge the furruw deep,
Up TO the mountains brow,

re We all seem to learn the lesson of life
TOO late ! think it is the want Of charity, of
love to all men, which keeps us far apart and
makes the experience of each one more or
less an unreality to every one else. How
much we might learn even from the poorest
and most wretched creature whom we meet
in our daily walk! See how this common
bond of humanity unites US all one to auoth.
er; how the links of this chain from the low
est to the highest, are unbroken, and how We
are reminded of this every day and every
hour, If we will but look into the faces and
eyes OF our fellow men, and read the words
tina. are written there There are none so
high as not to need our sympathy and love,
a 4 none SO low that we cannot reach them by
means OF it. W0yside Words
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1853-10-22

Es- In the world he who speaks sweetly
and with aifability will have many friends;
but he whose words are bitter will have few
or none. This we may learn from the sun
and moon. The sun, by reason of its dazzling
light drives away every star and planet from
the heavens, while it is above the horizon and
is thus obliged to run its course solitary and
unattended; but the moon, shedding a soft
and tender light. moves on in the midst Of
stars and consultations, escorted by a numer.
GUS company.

ES-H How all Of us who have mourned the
loss of some dear friend, can answer to the
truth of this little paragraph:
"The ideal face Of any one to whom we are
strongly aud tenderly attached---that face
which is ensbrined in our hearts, and which
comes to us in dreams long after it has moul-
dered II. the grave-that face is not the exact
mechanical countenance Of the beloved per-
son, not the countenance that we ever actually
oeheld, but IFS abstract its idealization, or
rather IFS realization; the spirit of the counte-
nance, its essence and its life. And the finer
the character, and the more various its intel
lectual pow ers, the more must this true eiao-
Ion differ from the most faithful likeness that
painter or sculptor can produce" ,f
