Jealous wife.


An anecdoie is related Of wife who was
very jealous of her husband who was a
worthy member of the Masons One even
ing bundle came to the house for him,
and labeled Private" OF course this was
sufficient for female curiosity, and therefore
she INDUCED in an inspection. Horror Of
horrors! Blankets, baby's linen, birds
eyes DC, greeted her astonished eyesight,
and dreams Of "two families" floated through
her brain. The husband soou came in, and
after tea, when his wife discovered in his
eye the treachery Of his conduct, as she
supposed, he took the bundle and went out
but not alone, for the jealous wife was on
his track. The faithless husband little i'm
agined that she. who supposed herself SO
foully wronged, was lowering after him
He stopped at the house Of friend, who
also joined him. carrying a similar bundle.
The wife became doably excited, for the
prospect of having companion in misery
did not impress her with the idea Of di-
vision Of her grief but only an addition to
it. She followed closely, and soon they
halted before a small tenement which they
entered. Here she paused to hold coun-
Gil Of war. What tactics to follow she vas
in doubt, but determined to storm the cit
adel, she knocked and hastily brushing BY
the little child, and in second burst upon
the astonished husband, the embodiment
of injured innocence. Her feelings were
about to express themselves when the scene
before her caused her to reflect. A poor
woman on sick bed, babe net old enough
for christening. child in a crib, two little
girls in bed met her eye. She read the
story at glance, and returned home under
the escort of her lord and his friend, who
assured her that she had discovered the
great secret of Masonry. She never afriV-
ed at false conclusion from appearances
again.

An old man of more than four. score

if something is not done, our country will
be ruined, and l will not be accessory to its

"Then," says another, you will die"
"Well," said the old man, in the true
spirit of rs, "for my country CAN die"-
and he signed the pledge. gave up his med
icine, and his disease fed away.
It was the remedy that kept up the dis
ease, and when be had renounced the oae,
he was relieved of the other. Soft probs-
bly, would be in pine cases out often where
this poison is used as a medicine.

Reau1ifuI Exfrnct.

When the summer Of youth is slowly vast
ing on the nighdall of age, and The shadow o.
the past becomes deeper and deeper. and lifs
wears to lis close, it iH pleasant to look through
the vista of lime upon the sorrows and felicitiel
OF our earliest years. If we have home lC
shelter, aud hearts to rejoice with u.s. and
friends have gathered together around our 6rs-
sides, then the rough place Of our wsyfarinz
will have been worn and smoOthed away in the
twilight of life, whiIs the many spots We have
passed throRgh will grow brighter and more
beautiful. Happy indeed are they whose ln-
tercOurse with the world has not changed the
tone Of their holer feelings or broken those mu
steal chords Of the heart, whose vibrations are
SO meiodiOus, so tender end touching in tbs

Toada.

A correspondent of the Cambridge
Chronicle, puts ia plea for tosds, and JUS
tifes his parIiality By the following, which
We extract from his Communication;
"We have in our garden a small nursery
Of plum trees, which have been nearly de-
5troyed by the eanker worms. Last season
We commenced shaking them of. One
day we observed many iosds about these
trees, that on our approach became fright
ened, and retreated in great haste to their
retreats 10 the neig ghbOring bushes. Soon
finding that they were not pursued, they
coDmenced hopping back. and eagerly
caught with svidity each canker worm as
it descended on its tiny thread. We coun-
ted at one time thirty Immediately round
our feet Day after day We fed them with
their favorite food, and they became so
tame as to follow US. watch our hand, and
take the worm from our fingers"
This is new to US, though it may not be
to many Of our readers; but whatever
taste the toad may have for canker worms,
We are quite sure that It does a world Of
good in garden, By destroying earth
worms, of which it eats large numbers
We once tried to surfeit toad with earth
worms, but our patience vas exhausted be-
fore its appetite was appeased, and We
have always held that to destroy one Of
these disgusting looking reptiles was doing
ones grounds a desl Of Injury. There is
no charge brought against the toad but its
dissgreeable appearance, and il might well
quote the old saw to those who despiss iG
without seeking to learn its real value

The Female Mind.

The influence of the female mind over the
stronger mind Of man, is greater, perhaps,
than many are willing to acknowledge.
Its operations are various, and some men
struggle fearfully to disengaEs themselves from
it. But this we believe, that more or Iess. oil
men have felt its power and those perhaps,
have experienced it to the greatest extent who
would have it supposed they despissd it most
won an loses many Of her charms and conss-
auently, much of her power in the opinion Of
many, when she ranges herself on the side Of
that which is wrong while il is impossible to
calculate the influence exercised with tender
ness and modesty. The ruin produced by bad
woman may be sudden and violent, and com
pared to the burs ting of volcano, or the over
fowings of the ocean; but the influenc CO of
Virtueus woman, is like the gentle dew and
morning showers, which descend silently and
softly, and are known only by their effects in
the smiling aspect Of the valleys and the weight
Of the autumnal branches.

u Amid the mass of stuff which crowds our
newspapers and magazines under the name OF
Poetry" there is so little which is even re-
spectacle VsrsiicatiOn, that it is really grstify-
ing, occasionally to find something whose
merit will support its pretensiOns to the name,
Bot the following verses are replets with deli
cate fancy, besides being exceedingly musical.
We do not know who is the author:
The sun stepped down from his golden throne
Aud lay in the silent sea,
And the lily had folded her satin leaveB,
For sleepy thing was che.
what's the Lily dreaming off
Why crisp the waters bue1
See. see. she is lifting her vanished lid,
Her white leaves are glistniug through!
The Rose is cooling his burning cheek,
In the lap Of the breathless tide;
The Lily hath sisters both fresh and fair,
That would die by the Roses side;
He would love her better than all the rest,
And he would be fond and true:
But the Lily unfoided her weary lids,
And looked at the sky so blue.
"R emeu.ber, remember then. SLY one.
How fast will thy summer glide!
And wilt thou Wither a virgin pale,
Or flourish blooming bride7'
10 the Rose is old, and thOrny sAd cold,
And lives on the esrth," said she;
"But the Star is fair and he lives in the air,
And he shall my bridegroom be-"
But what If the storm cloud should come,
And ruffle the silver sea7
Would he turn his eye from the distant sky
To smile on a thing like thee2
o no, fair Lily, he will not send
One ray from his far. of throne,
The winds shall blow, and the waves shall flow,
And thou wilt be left alone"
'TheEe is not leaf on the mountain top,
Nor drop Of evening dew,
Nor golden sand on the sparkling shore,
Nor pearl in the waters blue,
That he has not cheered with his tickle smile,
And warmed with his fsithless beam;
And will he be true TO pallid flower
That floats on quiet stresm""
Alas for the Lily! She would not heed,
But turned TO the skies afar,
And barred her breast 10 the trembling ray
That shot from the rising star.
The clouds came over the darkened sky,
And over the waters wide;
She looked in vain through the beating rain,
And sank in the stormy tide.

The SHORTEST SERMON EVER PREACH
ED.-The shortest sermon on record was
preached by probably one of the most elo-
quent preachers who ever adorned pulpit
the late Dean Kirwan. He was pressed
(while suffering from severe cold.) to
preach in the church OF St Peters in Dub
lin, for, l believe, the orphan children ia
the parish school; he tried to excuse him
self, but at last yielded, i'll as he was. At
ter mounting the pulpit, while the church
was crowded to suffocation, and having
given out the text, he merely pointed to the
orphan children in the aisle, and said,
"There they ere" 1t is said the collection
on that occasion exceeded all belief. Dean
KirWan left son, the present eloquent
Dean of Limerick-Notes and Queries.

"We must cultivate the roots, not the tops.
We must make the family government, the
school, the farm, the church, the shop, the
agricultural, the fairs, the Laboratories of
our future greatness. We must educate our
sons to be farmers, artisans, architect !, en-
gineers, geoloeists, botanists, chemists-in

turned from Washington to their States,
counties, townships, districts, homes. This
