A WTE.-When a man Of sense comes to
marry, it is companion whom he wants, and
not an artist. 1t is not merely creature who
can paint, and play, and sing, and dance. 1t is
being who can comfort and counsel him one
who can reason and reflect, and feel and Judge,
and discourse and discriminate one who can
assist him in his affairs, tighten his sorrows,
purify his joys, strengthen his principles, and
educate his children Such is the woman who
is fit for mother and the mistress of a family.
A woman of the former description may occa-
sionally figure in drawing-room, and excite
the admiration of the company, but is entirely
unfit for a helpmate to man, and to train up
child in the way he should go.

A NOVEL MANUFAcToRY.--We find the fol-
lowing curious description of the manner in
which ladies' muffs are manufactured in London,
in magazine before us. The writer gives the
following as the manner in which the tubbing''
process of the skins used fo- ladies' muffs boas
&C., is conducted: "The workmen are ranged
in tubs along the sides of an apartment, or shed,
or outhouse, in yard, or some secluded spot
in London. Every tubber, with the exception
of those who may be unwell, who may then
wear loose sort of jacket, which, however,
tells against the efficiency and rapidity Of his
works. altogether naked The tub in which
the man works reaches up to the waist, and a
thick yellowish cloth is thrown over its top,
which the workman keeps every now and then
gathering about him and which he can draw
around like bag, so that while at his labor the
upper part of his person alone is visible. To q
stranger, the effect of visit to such workshop
to which it is not easy to gain admittance-
is startling. Pale, brown, and often hirsute
men, move up and down in their tubs, stamping
and alternating their feet with little cessation,
sometimes in silence, and in many cases with
little or no expression in their faces. Each of
these men are " tubing" that is, treadng or
stamping, first upon one foot and then on the
other, on the skins which are the compliments
of hs tub. These skins are for the supply of
the furriers who employ the master skin-dress-
ers. There is no water or any other fluid used
in tubing, but the feshy part of the skins are
all buttered, and with the cheapest butter or
scrapings, and in some places rancid butter,
when such things are purchasabe in sufficient
quantity. Sawdust is used, which gives the
butter frmer tread, and tends to aid, by its
friction, in securing skins, SO prepared, the men
tread, and the perspiration which sometimes
pours from them is considered better and read
ier for the cure of the skins than any butter or
other fatty compound, which are looked upon
as merely auxiliary to what oozes from the
workman's body. And in this way mems sweat
is forced for hours together into the skinny parts
of the furs which are to be ladies' muffs, boas,
and tippets."

THIS Is Boy CAN TRUsT.-I once visited
large public school-at recess little fellow
came up and spoke to the teacher-as he turn
ed to 90 down the platform, the master said,
That is a boy | can trust. He never failed
me-" followed him with my eye, and looked
at him after recess. He had fine open, man.
ly face. thought good deal about the mas
ter's remark. What q character had that little
boy earned! Ho had already got what would
be worth more to him than fortune. 1t would
be passport into the best store in the city,
and, what is better, into the confidence and es-
TEEN of the whole community.
| wonder if the boys know how soon they
are rated by other people. Every boy in the
neighborhood is known, and opinions, are form
ed of him; he has character, either favorable
or unfavorable A boy of whom the master can
say, I" | can trust him, he never failed me-" will
never want employment. The fidelity, prompt
ness, and industry which he showed at school
are in demand every where, and are priced eve-
ry where. He who is faithful in little, will also
be faithful in much. Be sure, boys, that you
earn good reputation at school. Remember
you are just where God has placed you, and
your duties are not so much given you by your
teacher or parents, as by God himself You
must render an account to them, and you will
be called to render an account to him. Be trus.
| ty, be true.

"Why do love him ?" Search the unfathomed
.r0 we'll i
To find the spring from whence its waters swell;
Explore the mines, whose rlchest veins untoio
Give the first promise of their hidden gold
Or seek in ocean for its parent stem
Whereon once grew the polished coral gem.
"Why do | love him? z" Ask the infant star
To watt its story from the realms affair.";
Or bid the flower that decorates the earth
Relate the wondrous history OF its birth;
Or call departed spirits to return,
And bear the tale of our untrodden bourne
"Whv do love him I" Let a mother tell
Wherefore it is she loves her child so well;
Let awful Deity assign cause
For loving man, recreant to his laws,
But vainly urge not woman to impart
The mysterious secret of her pghted heart
WHY DO LOVE HIM?
BY "ToM FRANK"
"Why do love him ?" Let his lawyers tell
Look DER the broad lands that his fortunes swell
Explore his mines, where rough men, strong and
bold
Dig out for him the Jumps Of virgin gold
Or on the swelling ocean cast your eyes,
And view the ships that bear his merchandise.
+" Why do love him ~ Ask the unlucky star
That saw the ruin Of dear papa
! Or bid the sons of honest toll and worth,
Change my opinions of exalted birth
Or let the spirit-rappers in the air
Make me, without his aid, millionaire.
"Why do love hm?" Let my mother tell
| Why she has tutord me in art so we'll
Let vanity and pride assign cause
From framing and enforcing fashions laws
But do not urge real BELLE to impart
The mysterious secret of her plighted heart.

PRIDE.-A proud man is fool in fermenta-
ton, swelling and boiling like a porrdge-pot.
He sets his feathers like an owl, to swell and
seem bigger than he is. He is troubled with an
inflammation ofselfconceit, that renders him the
man of pasteboard, and true buckram knight.
He has given himself a sympathetic love-pow-
der, that works upon him to dotage and trans
forms himself into his own mistress, making
most passionate court to his own dear perfec-
tons, and worshipping his own image. All his
upper stores are crammed with masses ofspongy
substances, occupying much space; as feathers
and cotton will stuff cushions better than things
of more compact and solid proportion.

SOUND MAxIMs IN FARMING.-The follow
ing remarks are from an old pamphlet, which ac-
cidentally came into the hands Of correspond
ent, who has kindly sent them for publication.
They are well worth reading:
The gentleman of fortune, whose farm is his
amusement, may wait years for his reward
The common farmer wants his pay down. Plans
ofimprovement have been recommended, practi-
cable indeed to the man of wealth, but wholly
uninteresting to the mass of farmers, because
beyond their means. They can adopt no system
which the farm itself will not support. 1t is q
maxim in husbandry, that no mode of manage
ment is worth pursuing that will pot give prof

greatest profit with the least labor and expense
Great crops may be obtained at great ex.
pense; but if the labor and expense is not re.
munerated, the crops themselves will be ruinous
The question is, not how great crop can be
obtained, but how can it be obtained in man
ner to pay? 1t is not valuable improvement
in husbandry to increase your productions, il
your expense is proportionably increased. The
great object is, to increase the productiveness o.
a farm, so that the expense may bear less ra
tio to the increase. BY purchasing more land
you impose burden on yourself difficult to sus
tain. Many have been impoverished, and not {
few have been ruined, by possessing themselve.
of land for which they could not pay. The in
teligent farmer, before he plunges into debt
will not fail to attend to this plain question:
Will the income Of the intended purchase more
than repay the interest, the labor, and the taxes
If not, you are better without the land Tht

GOOD MORNING.

Who Weakened, this morning. both you and the SUM-"
The little girl turned her bright eyes with a nod:
"Ms, may say, then, Good morning To COOL"
ayes, little darling one, surely you may,
Kneel as YOU knepl every morning to pray,
Mary knelt solemaly down, with her eyes
Looking up earnestly into the skies;
And two little hands that were folded together,
Softly she laid on the lap OF her mother.
Good morning, dear Father in Heaven" she said
Il thank thee Tor watching my snug little bed;
For taking good care Of me all the dark night.
And waking me up with the beautiful light:
Oh, keep me from naughtiness all the long day,
Dear Father, who taught little children to prayF'
An angel looked down from Heaven and smiled,
But she saw not the angel, that beautiful child!
