Hints To Husbands.


Do not jest with your wife upon subject
in which there is danger Of wounding her
feelings. Remember that she treasures every
word you utter, though you never think of
it again.
Do not speak Of some virtue in another
mans wife, to remind your own Of fault.
Do not reproach your wife with personal
defect, for if she has scnsibilty, you inAict
wound difficult to heal
Do not treat your wife with nattention in
company. 1t touches her pride-aud she
will not respect you more, or love you better,
for it.
Do not upbraid your wife in the presence
of o third person. The sense of your disre-
gard for her feelings, will prevent her from
acknowledging her fault.
Do not entertain your wife with praising
the beauty and accomplishments of other
women.
Do not, to often invite your friends to
ride, and leave your wife at home. She might
suspect that you esteemed others more COM
paDionable than herself.
IF you would have pleasant home and
cheerful wife, pass your evenings under your
own roof.
Do not be stern and silent in your own
house and remarkable for sociability else
where
Remember that your wife has as much need
of recreation as yourself, and devote po-
ton at least, of your leisure hours, to such So
ciety and amusements as she may join.
By so doing you will secure her smiles, and
increase her affection.
Do not by being too exact in pecuniary
matters, make your wife feel her dependence
upon your bounty. 1t tends to lessen her
dignity of character, and does not increase
her esteem for you, if she is sensible woman,
she should be acquainted with your business
and know your income--that she may regu-
late her household expenses accordingly. Let
it be remembered that pecuniary affairs
cause more difficulty in families than any
other cause. Your wife has an equal right
with yourself to all you possess in the world
therefore she should be made acquainted
as nearly as possible with that which is of
30 great Importance to both. Do not with

A Fable.

A vine was growing beside a thrifty oak,
and had reached that height at which it re-
quircd support.
"Oak,' said the vine, "beud your trunk so
that you may be support to me-"

strength to bear you up, but | am too large
and too solid to bend. Put your arms around
me my pretty vine, will manfully support
and cherish you, if you have ambition to-
climb as high as the clouds while thus
hold you up, you will ornament my rough
trunk with your pretty green leaves and shin
ing scarlet berries. They will be as lrontlets
to my head, as 1 stand in the forest like a
glorious warrior. with all its pumcs. We

the vine, "why cannot you Irvine around me,
and let me grow up straight, and not be q
mere dependent upon you O.
MATURE" answered the oak, ''did not dc
sign it. 1t is impossible that you should
grow to any height alone; and if you try it,
the winds and rain, if not your own weight,
will bring you to the ground. Neither is it

thither among the trees. The trees will be-

By this time thou wilt be so ontangled among
the different branches that thou can't get

"Ah, me !" said the vine, "let me escape
from such destiny" and with this she
twined herself around the oak, and both grew
and fourished happily together.

Single Woman.

Not being mothers on their own account, they
have leisure to be mothers for everybody else.
What blessing in the circle Of the families
to which she belongs, is an unmarried sister
She watches by the aged father or mother with
vestal's fidelity, while her sisters or broth
ers abandon the old homestead for Cupid, or
cupidity. Who so ready as she, to solace the
bereavement of friend, all of whose earthly
hopes have been swallowed up in the grave
To the widowed brother, her sympathetic
voice and spoGtaneity of kindness seem al
most like return from the tomb of the idol
he had laid there and to the breaved sister
whose stay and support have been stricken
down, she becomes as it were the support u

self, she is the last to cease her expostulations
with wayard daughter, or her efforts to re-
claim an unflia son. To children bereft Of
parents, she becomes both father and mother,
and trains unconscious orphanagc in the way

of usefulness, Transforming herself by turns
into friend, nurse, physician. or spiritual
guide,-into the grave companion Of the old,
or the frolicsome playmate of the young, as
ever variug occasion may demand Who
does not know that when any child of all her
kindred is deaf or blind, or halt, or whom
step.dame Nature has matreated in any
other way, a never-failing, resource is found
in tho universal Aunty;" as though she
kept full assortment oil eyes, and ears and
] faculties, for all kind Of " important folk :"
Then, for the children's dresses, does she not
know the latest styles; for their learning has
she not seen the sagest books, and for their
health, has she not the newest cure-alls all by
heart? and o for the romping and roistering
groups of the nursery, does she not carry all
the toy-shops of France and China in her
pockets? Who, of all the househould, can
help paying homage to such divinity, even
though it sometimes does seem as though she
would kill us with kindness?
Outside, and beyond the family relation,
this person often becomes kind Of public
character, though without the envy or the
odum which attaches to the notoriety of pub
lie men. As teacher of schools, how she
shames the wisdom of the law giver and the
retributons of the Judge, by saving where
they sacrifice, and redeeming where they de-
stroy! To hospitals for disease and suffering,
to prisons for penal retribution, to recepta-
Giles for reformation from deepest debasement
and guilt, how divinely docs she come, her
her head cncircled with halo heavenly
light, her feet sweetening the earth on which
she treads, and the celestial radiance Of her
benignity making vice begin its work of re-
pcntance though very envy Of the beauty Of
virtue! The two Misses Fellows, of Boston,
within the last ten years, have found for more
than thousand destitute orphan children,
carrying on this warfare sgainst ignorance
and perdition, as the apostle said, at their
own charges. What mothers, unless it be
such as the mother of Washington, deserve
so much as they the admiration and homage
of mankind ?-Horace Mann.

Getting into Society.

The Philadelphia Ledger, in very sensi-
bic article, speaking Of Americans who do
all they can to nourish feeling Of social
caste in this country, which they call " So
ciety," says:
1t is principally with the female sex that
this mania RACES. A young man marries a
halfeducated girl, both bong perhaps not
worth thousand dollars. In time, partly
by good luck, and partly by good manage
ment, the husband amasses fortune. Now
all at once, the wife, hitherto anxious only
for money to bring up their children properly,
and to smooth their old age, begins to talk
about position" But instead of seeking
that position by cultivating the mind and
manners, she thinks to obtain it by securing
admission into this or that set of arbitrary
exclusives. To be united to Mrs Flummary s
balls, or to have Mrs. Pretcnsion on her Wis
itng list, is what the deuded woman believes
to be getting into society,"" What slight
she endures, what meanness she decends to,
what intrigues she undertakes in order to
achieve these ends She follows Mrs. Potiphar
to Newport and takes box at the opera be-
hind Mrs. Dash. She puts her coachman in
to livery, hires French nurse for her chill.
dren, and purchases pew at the church of
the Rev. Mr.. Cream Cheese. By.and by
she hatters herself, because she knows all
these silly people, that she has obtained q
position" that she has got into " society"
And yet she is, perhaps, just as illiterate, as
mean, and as vulgar as ever; for her French
dinners do not make her less selfish, nor one
whit less polite at heart. In truth she is
often more hard to her servants, more the
slave of envy and altogether less worthy
that when she was comparatively poor, and
when she thought more Of her husband and
family than getting into society,""

Night.
Night conneth on apace,

Night cometh on apace,--
On Natures breast the dews of heaven descend
The gems of evening glow in fields Of space,
And lights and shadows blend.
With all its veal and woe, another day
Has left the bounds of Time to more for aye.
Ger mountain tops that rise
Where the bright day-god cast his parting glance,
Float little clouds, mbuod with many dyes,
Through heavens blue cSpanse;
The Queen of evening sheds her sivery light,
Dispelng now the gloom that wells the brow of night
The aromatic breeze,
From Southern plains decked by the vernal queen,
Sweeps gently by and rustios through the trtes
"Just coming out in green" D.
Refreshing to the weared one OF toll
Cooling the favered brow, marked by disease aspoil.
Silent are greenwood aisies-
No song of bird breaks on the solitude
Peace, gentle goddess looks on earth and smiles
In her beattudej
To sinful man respite sweet she brings,
And sheds heavenly ray transitory things.
The Author Of our veal,
Leaves on the earth the impress Of His love-
The charms that meet our vision, all reveal
The glory from above;
And as we gaze something from within,
Dreams OF that happy home, where nought is know of sill
Glad season of repose
The emblem of that eternal rest
When to his narrow house the pilgrim goes,
TO slumber with the best-
When severed are the silken ties that bind
Its tenement nf clay with the immortal mind.
Fit time to mediate
Upon the wisdom, power, and love of God;
To read the evidence that lie is great
Who holds the ruling rod
To muse upon that parting season hero,
When the imprisoned soul signs for higher sphere.
Fit time to homage pay
In grateful! prayer to the 0mnlfc Jove,
That we may follow in The narrow way
That leads to life aboye,7
That when stern Death dissolves each vital cord,
