The Disinterested Boy.

The sun had set, and night had spread
its mantle over hill top and valley, and
lonely wood and busy village. While
the winds were beginning ito sweep
through the trees, lights were here and
there peeping through the windows, 70
tell bat though the wind was cold and
clustering without, there might be peace
and comfort within. t nd
Atthis hour, Mr.. Brady passed through
little village among the hills, and urging
his horse forward as the night became
darker, took his way through the main
road towards the next town, where he
wished to pass the night. AS he passed
the last house in the village, he thought
he heard some one call, but supposing i
might be some boy shouting TO another
boy, he thought little Of IT, He heard the
call again and again at lastit occurred
10 him that some one might wish to speak
to him, and he stopped the pace Of his
horse, and looked behind the chaise to
see if he could discover who was cal
ling. ssta. ut iq
"Slop sir. stop!'' said little boy who
was running with all his might to over
take him. " rs -
Mr.. Brady stopped his horse, and
little boy Of eight or ten years pld, cams
up painting at every breath. a..,
s"W Well my little fellow what do you
wish for said Mr.. Brady .g
4" You are luosing your trunk, sir"
said the boy as soon as he could speak.
!" And SO you have run all this way t9
tell me of it, haye you my good boy"
+" Yes sir."h n} ,..
Mr.. Brady jumped out Of his chaiss,
and saw that his trunk which was strap
ped underneath his carriage, was unfas-
tenedIat one end, so that a sudden Jolt
might have loosened it altogether and be
lnight'have lost it without knowing where
it had gone, s,r sfg !;
"You are very kind my lad,P said the
gentleman. ito take all this trouble you
have saved me from loosing my trunk,
and am much obligedto you. And now.
are you tall enough To hold my horse,
while | fasten the trunk as it should be n
said Mr. Brady. r.s5i,s le
'"Oh, yes. SIR said the boy stepping
zip ahd taking hod of the pride. He
held the horse till Mr. Bradley was ready
to start and then said. /" Good night sir,n
and was stepping away. J,r
"S!op a moment said Mr.. Bradley,
takipgIa shilling from his pocket; t;here
ie piece of money 10 pay you for your
trouble, and feel very greatefpl beside,''
a''" No sir thank you,'' said the boy,
casting his eye fullin the gentleman's 8 face,
do you think / would take money for
such thing as thatl"
"Ah - said Mr.. Brady as he AFTER
wards related the story, 81 saw by bis
noble look, that, be had run from halfl,o
three quarters Of mile, for the sake Of
doing a kindness 10 stranger, and not for
the hope of pay; andI could not findiit
in my heart to urge him 10 take, the
money, for / knew thai the thought Of
having done good was greater reward
to him than money could have been. So
| bade him good night, and he run toward
home, while gave the whip TO my horse,
and rode briskly on but / often think Of
that journey, and the noble hearted boy
who lived among the hills. s."--Londop

est care and constancy, cheerluness and
good 'humor. They give beauty TO the
finest face J. and impart charms where
charms are not. On the contrary, a
gloomy disaffected manner, is chilling
and repulsive to his feelings: he will be
very apt TO seek elsewhere for those smiles
and that cheerlulness which he finds not
in his own house. l"t.
5. In the article Of dress, study your
huband's tastes. The opinion of others on
this subject is of but very little conse-
quence, if he approve.
6 Particularly shun what the world
calls in ridicule, "curlain lectures."-
When you shut your door at night, en-
deavor to shut out at the same moment
all dlsccrd and contention, and look upon
your chamber as retreat from the vexa-
tlons of the world shelter sacred to
peace and affection. CH
How indecorous, offensive, and sinful
il is, for woman to exercise authority
over her husband and say, 81 will have
it so. II shall be as like !" But I trust
the number of those who adopt this unbe-
coming and disgraceful manner, is so
small as to render it unnecessary for me
10 enlarge on the subject. .....,
7. Be careful never to Join in langh
against your husband. Conceal his faults,
and speak only Of his merits. Shun
every approach to extravigance. The
want OF economy has involved MILLIONS
in misery. Be neat, lidy, orderly, me.
thodical. Rise early, breakfast early,
have place for everything, and every
thing in its place. ~ %sF h@ sI4
Few things please a man more than
seeing his wife notable and clever in the
management of her household. A
knowledge of cookery, as well as every
other branch in house keeping, is iudis
pensble in a female, and wife should
always endeavor TO support with applause
the character of The lady and the house
wife. "'.l
O. Let home be your empire-your
wolld--Leti it be the scene Of your wish
es, your thoughts, your plans, your exer
lions, Let it be the stage on which in
the varied character of wife, of mother
and of mistress, you strive 10 shine. Ir
its sober quiet senses let your heart cas-
its anchor, let your feelings and pursuit,
all be centered. Leaye TO your HUSBAND
the task of distinguishing himself by hi,
valor or his talents. Do you seek 70,
fame at home, and let your applause bt
that of your servants, your children, YOU

MA AN's DIsQUIETUDE.-Ma Man is at loss
where to fix himself. He lie unquestion
ably out of his way, and feels within
himself the remains Of a happy state
which he cannot retrieve. He searches
in every direction with solicitude, but
without success, eRcompassed with i'm
penetrable darknesst
Hence arose the contest among the
philosophers-some of whom endeavored
10 exalt man. by displaying his greatness {;
others to debase him by representing his
misery. And what seems more strange
is, that each party borrowed the argu-
ments of the other, to establish their
own opinion. For the misery of man
may be inferred from his greatness, and
his greatness from his misery, Thus the
one sect demonstrated his misery the
more satisfactorily, in that they inferred
il from his greatness and the other more
clearly proved his greatness, because they
deducted it from his misery. Whatever
was offered by the one 10 establish his
greatness, served only to evince his mis-
cry, as, alleged by the other; il being
more miserable to have fallen from the
greater beight And the converse is
equally true. So that in this endless cir
Gle of dispute, each helped to advance his
adYersary's cause; for it is certain that
The more men are enlightened, The more
they will discover Of human misery and
human greatness. In word, man
kuows himself TO be miserable. He
is, therefore, miserable because he knows
himselfto be SO. But he is also sminen.-
ly great because he knows himself 10
be miserable. -ts" .@s aH 't

ject Of contradiction! A Judge Of all
things, and yet worm Of the earth the
depository of the truth, and yet medly
of uncertainties the glory aud the scan

he inconsistencies. ill he comprehends
himself to be an incomprehensible mon
