Coon TENrER.-Young people in looking
around for companions for life, generally try
to seek and obtain such as are possessed of
good temper, by which is meant an amiable
disposition. Now this is not easy to ascer-
tain before hand. Smiles are cheap and they
are INDUCED in to suit the occasion and,
besides, the art called courtship is too often
n black art, in which each party tries to cheat
the other into the belief that they are the
most amiable being on earth. Some tempers
are too good" so good in fact that the
very goodness" itself is a prominent indi-
cation of stupidity and l~aziness. Sulleness
should be avoided as the leprosy. A sullen
mar is q horrible companion to be with; but
how much worse and repulsive is a sullen
woman, and that woman q wife, a companion
night and day ! Think, OF man, of the
pleasure Of sitting at the same table, and oc.
cupying the same room, for a fortnight,
without exchanging a word, n sentiment, a
kiss, or asmile with your sullen wifel Think
Of this when you next press the hand of your
I" jularkie" and VOW she is an angel done up
in ribbons and muslin. Think of this, conf.
ding youth, keep eyes right and dress accor,
dinghy.

Thousands of desolate homes out of Indiana,

felt so deep an interest in the result of this
struggle as to impede respiration, will breathe
free again.

you! II Glory enough for one day!!!
