The MODEL WFE.--A clever writer in the Bos-
ton Olive Branch gives the following portrature
of a model wife:
" She don't know a word OF French Italian,
or German; never reads anything by Hints to
Married Women and the Cookery Book : don't
play on the piano. don't keep but one girl, does
half the washing and ironing, makes all the cakes
and pies, cuts her husbands vests, her own dress
es mends all the stockings, turns her husbands
pants inside out, and hind side before when they
get shabby, does all the marketing, buys the wood
and coal, never goes out except on Sundays, don't
know whether small or big bonnets are worn, keeps
awake nights, never sleeps daytime, always looks
pretty, never looks tired, wears a smiling face
though every bone in her body aches, and pre-
sents Mr.. Shocks with an heir once a year.
Wouldn't speak to any man but hcr husband for
the world-likes to see him talk to all the pretty
women. Rocks the cradle and dans the stock
ings in the forenoon, then--then darns the stock
ings and rocks the cradle in the afternoon stays
ut home in the evening and mends her husbands
trowsers while he goes to hear Jenny Lind--sits
up half the night in the rocking chair nursing
young Shocks, for fear it will disturb papa-has
inward sense of goneness in the morning, takes
out a clean shirt for Mr.. Shocks, nevertheless
rises at five o'clock in the morning, washes the
faces and combs the heads of the nine little Shook
seq, scrubs their eighteen little dirty hands, and
nurses the baby while papa is shaving, for fear its
crying will make him cut his face with the razor.
Helps the nine and her husband, all at breakfast
time, then eats cold egg when they are gone !!
Thinks her husband an Adonis--a Solomon--a
Joseph--is perfectly willing he should engage him.

matters not. If New Jersey jury has shrunk
from proclaiming the truth, the finger of public
Indignation has already made the direction sure.
The State of New Jersey is the party primarily
responsible for this slaughter There is no escape
for Der. In the sight Of her thirty sister States,
her hands are reeking, her skirts dripping, with
the blood of the innocent. Under this September
sun, she has done deed that, whether her jury
writes it or not, will ever stand accurscd in her
calendar.
We yield nothing to figure of speech We mean
just what we say. The State Of New Jersey is as
verify guilty Of manslaughter as any culprit that
ever swung at Tyburn Manslaughter is defined
10 be the killing Of another without malice, yet
without warrant or excuse; and that is the very
form Of guilt New Jersey has contracted in trifng
with and destroying the lives of those travellers
who have placed themselves in her keeping. We
10 not say that she was inpelled by passion. We
know that she was not But we do say-and il is
thing she may hear too if she will, in the curses
not loud but deep" Of every man out of her
limits-that this work Of death came from n vice
that strikes deeper yet the meanest rage that is,
cold-blooded avarce To put money in herpurse
II is for this that New Jersey has, for years, in
spite Of remonstrances everywhere about her, re-
fused to make safe her great line Of travel. In
the face Of all experience, in the light of all warn
ing, amid indignant scorn she has persisted in
masking one track on the most important railway
ia the country do the work of two till at last muir
der has como from it--twenty murders, and Mt n
single swoop.-N !, Courier and Enquirer.
CAUTION TO BATHERs.--A reverend divine OF
this vicinity found himself in rather an awkward
fix the o,her day. He and lay friend were riding
along one Of the fine beaches near Smamscott,
when tempted by the retirement of the place and
the excellent chance for bathing, having their
bathing clothes with them, they stopped and pre-
pared themselves for the water. Trusting TO the
quiet habits Of their horse they placed their cloth
ing in the carriage, and leaving all on the beach,
made their way into the surf They had hardly
time to congratulate themselves on their fine inn
provsed bath, when, TO their utter CONSERVATION,
their quiet horse was seen making off with their
clothing; and what was worst OF all, going directly
toward the villagel There no help at hand,
aud there was nothing for them 10 do but for one
Of them to run for the horse This the lay brother
did with will; and after long s,ern.chase Of
about mile, just before ri,c village was reached
overlook the runaway horse, and joyfully turned
his head toward the beach again, to relieve the
poor divine from his watery imprisonment. lie
was found covering under the water, chilled with
his prolonged bath, and in state Of delightful
uncertainty how he should ever get into his cler.
isal clothes again. The return Of his friend with
tho wheresthal to clothc him was most joyfully
hailed and we have no doubt our clerical friend
adopted on the spot the army maxim-never
again TO be separated from his baggagc-Bos-
