THE WIFE.

On earth, to man there is but one
His heart can lovc-his soul can own;
Though myriads fit before his view,
There is but one to whom he's true
That one can sway him to and fro;
Can make him drain the cup of woe;
Can give him joy, or blast his life
And that ones name is simply wife.
But in that name world is sphc:cd,
a world by all beloved, rcvercd,
Who have the sense to know its worth,
And spurn the gaudy joys of earth;
For that full heart in her dear breast
If rightly prized-cternal rest
Is not with bliSSful sweets moro rife,
Than that pure hcart-a loving wife.

TOM, IF YOU LOVE ME, SAY SO.

BY JAMES KENNY.
Dear Tom, my brave, frec-hearted lad,
Where'er you 60, God bless you
You'd better speak than wish you had,
If love for me distress you!
To me they say your thoughts incline,
And possibly they may so
Then once for all, to quiet mine,
Tom, if you love me, say so!
On that sound heart and manly frame,
Sits lightly sport or labor
Good -humored, frank, and still the same,
To parent, friend or neighbor;
Then, why postpone your love to own
For me, from day to day so
And let we whisper, still alone,
Tom, if you love me, say so!
How oft when was sick, or sad
With some remembered folly,
The sight of you has made me glad
And then most melancholy.
All why will thoughts of one so good
Upon my spirits prey so?
BY you it should be understood
Tom, if you love me, say SOL
My friends, tis true are well TO do,
And yours are poor and friendless;
All, no, for they are rich in yous
Their happiness is endless.
You never let them shed 4 tear,
Save that on you they weigh so;
There's some might give You better cheer;
Tom, if you love me, say SOL
My uncle's legacy is all
For YOU, Tom, when You choose it;
In better hands it cannot fall,
Or better trained to use it.
III wait for years, but let Inc not
Unwoo'd unplJghtcd stay so;
Since wealth and worth make even lot,
Tom, if you love me, say so!

THE TOWN BULL AND THE BASS VOL.

The following anccdote from the New Hump
shire Telegraph is too good 10 be lost:
Many wears ago there was in the eastern part
Of Massachusetts a worthy old ID. d.. and Ill
though he was an emncnly benevolent man and
q good Christian, yet it must be confessed that
he loved good joke much better even than
the most invetcratc joker. twas before church
organs were much in use 1t so happened that
the choir of the church had recently purchased
a double bass yo. Not far from the church
was pasture, and in it q huge town bull. One
hot Sabbath in the summer he got ont Of the
pasture and came believing up the street
About the church there was plenty Of wtro1-
den grass green and good: and Mr.. Ball stopped
to try the quality, perchancc to ascertain ii It's
location had improved its flavor, at amy rate the
reverend Doctor was in the midst Of his sermon,
when--
Buo-woo-woo," went the bull.
The doctor pauscl looked up at the singing
seats, and with grave face, said:
II would thank the musicians not to tune
their instruments during the service tme-lt
annoys me very much"
The people stared, and the minister went on.
Boo-woo-woo," went the bull again, as lie
passed another green spot.
The parsou paused again and addressed the
choir:
"I really wish the singers would not tune
their instruments while am preaching, as re-
marked before, for it annoys me very much"
The people Uttered, for they knew as we'll as
any ono what the real state of the case was.
Tic minister went on again with lis discousc,
but he had not proceeded far, before another
Boo-woo-woon came from Mr.. Bull.
The parson paused once more, and again en-
claimed:
~ have twice already requested the musl-
clans in the gallery not to tune their instru-
ments during sermon time. now particularly
request Mr.. Lefavor that he will not tune his
double bass viol while | am preaching"
This was too much. Lefavor got up aeitatcd
at the thought of speaking out in church, and
stammercd out:

WHY pNN'T YpI- .

Reader! Christian read Look at the ques-
ton at the head of this article and see il you
cain apprchcnd its force, for presently we want
YOU to answer it, and TO be honest about 1t.
There is day coming wien all our cloaks for
sin, and excuses for eglectng known duties will
be burned mp. Aye, that day will burn like an
oven. Why don't yOn! You sec that thought
less, daring sinner lrcsuming too much upon
the goodness Of God, evidently going to de-
struction, and you say somebody ought TO re
claim him and save him-Somcbody ought to
pray for linn, warn him and teach him if posi-
blc-why don't you!
You see younG. man addicted to thc'usc of
bad language 1Sigar, obscene, profane. lie
does not reflect, perhaps does not know how
sinful it is: Some one, you say, ought kindly
and cautiously to approach him and admonish
it. Why don't you!
There's poor widow struggling against the
tide of circumstances to support and partially
educate her children, but she cannot, unaidc'l,
succeed, She is becoming poorer every day. il
some Christian lady would take sheet Of pa
per around with a little caption, To all Mrs.
Humility -" and show it to her wcalthier
neighborS, no doubt many Of them would gladly
contribute something: and surely it oug int to be
done. Lady, why don't you!
And that poor afflicted lamily-how discon-
solatc that watching mother and wife must be.
Somebody ought 10 go and sit up and nurse for
her. Why don't you!
Reader, when you sec or know of any good
thing which somebody ought to do, ask your
self, Why don't lido it? If it is the duty OF
any one, Is it not miact And when you think
others ought 10 reform, suppose you ask your
conscience, Why don't ito what | see my
neishbor u!ht to do?--Louisiana Baptist.

frnerals-yOung gentlemen at tailor's bills
baliiis at an eXccution-and the hangman ut
the gallowS-I have seen the gravity of an
author when his play was damned, and of A
coxcomb taking his place at twelve paces-of
an attorney drawing out bills of costs, and of
an Alderman adjusting his napkin at city feast ;
have seen Mr.. Rogers and Belxcni's mummy !;
but the gravity of each and all taken together
