And tongue was impatient to blab it, no doubt.
Bnt Honor locked pruf on the subject, and gave it
In charge to the teeth, so enchantingy white.
Should the captive attempt an elopement TO sa'el'
By giving the lips an admonishing bite.
Twas said, and twas settled, and Honor departed
Tongue quiver'd and trembld. but dared not rebel
When right to its tip Secret suddenly started,
And half, in a whisper, escaped from its CELL
Quoth the teeth in pet we'll be even for this,

The Syracuse Standard gives the following
bit of interesting gossip:
At Clifton Springs, short time since, a gal
party was assembled-among them Miss M.
of Buffalo, and Frank n, of Syracuse. In thu
course Of the evening gaiety began to flag ,ane
some one proposed marriage. Up springs
the gay young Miss M, and expressed vii
lingness to become the bride. She was fol
lowed by Frank NJ, who joyfully consented tt
be the groom. young gentlemen present
who sometimes deals in jewelry, and is vel
known in Syracuse circles, performed the cere.
mony, and the merry couple made the usual
responses.
After the ceremony was over, the groom gave
his bride to understand that he considered it
binding. She demurred, and started for her
home in Buffalo, the baffled bridegroom follow
ing her, and pressing his claim at the house OF
her father. He was sent about his business,
with some striking specimens of parental ndig-
nation from the lady s father. Matters at pres
ent are in statu quo, and the lovely damsel re-
mains "weddcd maid" The gentleman claims
her as his lawful wife, and her relatives deny
the claim.
We find the following in the Cincinnati En-
quirer:
A little girl about ten years old and daughter
of Mr.. Oberland, a resident of the eighth ward,
as the clock was striking IL on Saturday noon,
exclaimed to her mother. Tomorrow at this
hourI shall be in heaven There was some
thing SO sad and plaintive in the tone in which
she uttered this, that in spite of the parent not
being of superstitious nature, it made an i'm
preston on her mind which she found impos
sible to throw off At dinner she told her hus-
band of the circumstance, and he endeavored to
rally the child, but with sweet and sad smile,
in which, however, no fear was manifested att
the coming prospect, she repeated her conyic |
tion Of her speedy dissolution. 1t was now the
fathers turn to feel depression of spirits, which
iovershadoWed him the whole day, so much SO,
that in the evening, meeting officer Young,
5watchman of that ward he told him of the
child's prognostication.
Up to this time the little girl had engaged
exceedingly good health, but during the night
her parents were aroused by her complaining
bitterly of pains in her back and head. AS early
rs possible a physician was called in, who pro-
nounced her in a high state Of bilious fever.
Notwithstanding all that human aid could effect I
she expired at noon. Her fatal prophecy was {
fulfilled. c
Bishop Taylor has this striking image
Conscience is clock, which, in one man, r
strikes aloud and gives warming in another S
the hand points silently to the figure, but strikes
not; meantime, hours pass away, and death t.
hastens, and after death comes Judgment" -
There is something unspeakably appalling in 4
this image. W
Those women make the best wives who COM Il
bine common sense with good temper, who W
have been brought up to help themselves and 81
who bring sound constitutions, equable spirits, fe
and sincere affection, as a dowry to their
lovers. A wife should be her husbands best II
tnend-she should be competent to counsel b
him in difficulties, TO cheer him in sorrow, to n
render his every day hearth the pleasantest :
spot to him to be found any where. If she has
confirmed ill-health she cannot be all this to -
him; neither can she if she has crooked tenn
per, or habits of incidence, Or is deficient in Il
practical sense. The woman whose whole or
heart is devoted to show, to company, or to G.
IDLE accomplishments, may possibly make an W
belle, but she is sure to prove very J"
Indifferent wife. We would not have Young
girls neglect the beautiful entirely but that rig
which adorns should be made subservent to sic
some more solid superstructure Toknow how Vi
o play the last new air, yet be ignorant how s s''
o compound the last new pudding is surely I'M
oardonable. A man mi ght as well neglect to an
