The Snow of Age.

We have Just stumbled upon the following
pretty piece Of mosaic, saying amid multitude
OF those less attractive: "No snow Ills light
er than the snow of age but none is heavier,
70! it never meltS." ..
The figure is by no means novel, but the
closing part of the sentence is new as well as
emphatic. The scripture represents ege by
the almond tree, which bear blossoms of the
purest white.
"The almond tree shall flourish"-the
head shall be hoary. Dickens says Of one Of
his characters, whose hair is turning gray, that
il looked as If Time had lightly splashed his
snow in passing.

violent passion, and was desirous OF entering

A Humorous Incident.

A laughabe incident occurred recently, The
of which are as follows: An
old gentleman farmer who had Two handsome
daughters, was so cautious OF his charge thai
he would no, permit them to keep the company
of young men. However, they adopted the
following expedient 10 enjoy ;he company Of
their lovers. After the old man retired to rest
the girls would hang sheet out of the win.

with the assistance Of his lady love, who
tugged Justify above would thus gain an en-
trance. II so happened one evening that The
e Is hung out the sheet too early, for The old
gentleman by some i'll wind was accidentIy
around the corner, and spying the sheet, could
not conjecture the n Gaming Of its being there ;
so he caught hold and endeavored to pull il
down the girls above supposng il TO be one
Of heir beaux, began 20 hoist, and did not
discover tie mistake till The old mans head
was level with the window sill, when ore oi
them exclaimed ooh, Lord It's dad ~ and
letting 90 the sheet, down came the old gen
lIemon on the hard ground, dlSIocatIng one
shoulder, which convinced him that to make
old maids Of his daughters was matter not sc
easily accomplished, and Withdrawing oil fur

The Girls.

When young man enters the arena OF the
world in search of wife, he should ask three
questions before entering into courtship: frst>
is she intelligent second, is She kind and be-
neyolent anu thirdly, did she ever yet up he
fore breakfast in the morning? If all these
nterrogatoreS be answered in the affirmative.
no other qualification is ndispensably neces.
sary; for with such wife fortune and fame
can easily be acquired. Such is the wife for
the laborlng man, such should be the compan-
ion OF one fortunately possessed Of wealth.
and such should be the wife or him who as
pres 10 the highest stations that society can
bestow. All this information can be easily
obtained from the giri you have in view; for
many boast of their Incidence, and think no
higher compliment could be paid than by ca IL
ing them delicate in health and feeble in mind
! If she is weighed in the balance and found
wanting, pass her with contempt and look 10
oaher resources for future happiness. But
marry let the risk be what il moy-it gives
dignity 10 your profession, it inspires conf
dence and Commands respect. With wife,
the lawerS are more truSty, the doctor more es-
teemed, the merchant gets bigger credit, and
the mechanic throws the hammer with in
creased power, and Shoves the plane with
more deXterouS hand; in short a man who has
no wife is no man at all. She nurses him while
sick, she watches for him when absent, and
loves and cherlshes him when in health

THE ORIENTAL woMAN's LIFE.
BY r. MoMcToN MILNER.

Behind the veil, where depth is traced,
BY many q complicated line
Behind the lattice closely laced
With fllgree Of choice design
Behind the lofty garden wall.
Where stranger face can ne 'er surprise
That inner world her all mall,
The Eastern woman lives and dies.
Husband and children round her draw
The narrow circle where she rests;
His will the single perfect law, =,
That scarce with choice her mind molest
Their birth and tutelage the ground
And meaning of her life on earth
She knows not elsewhere could be found
The measure Of woman's worth.
Within the gay and kiosk reclined,
Above the scent Of lemon groves,
Where bubbling fountains kiss the wind'
And birds make music for their loves
She lives kind of fairy life. .'.
In sisterhood Of fruits and flowers,
Unconscious IF the outer strife
That wears the palpitating hours
