Guard against Vulgar Languages
There is as much competition between the
words and the thoughts lis thore is between
the thoughts and the words; the latter arc
not only the expression of the former, but
they have power to react upon tho soul,
and leave the stains Of their corruption
there. a young man who allows himself
to use ono profane or vulgar word has not
only shown that there is foul spot upon
his mind, but by tho utterance of that
word he extends that spot and intlames it,
till, by indulgence, it will soon pollu.e and
ruin the whole soul. Re careful of your
words as well as your thoughts. If you
can control the tongue, that no improper
words are pronounced by it, you wilaooH
be able also to control the mind, and savo
that from corruption. You extinguisl tho
fire by smotheriny it, or by preventing
bad thoughts bursting out in language.
Never utter word anywhere which you
would be ashamed to speak in the presence
of the most refined female, or the most re.
ligious man. Try this practice little while.
and you will soon have command of your.
self. ;:

made each day, on an average. This is
equal to $4,000 Il month or 900, 900 a year.
Of the materials used we will now give Il
few details. In the first place, there is the
plain muslin. One Rhode Island cotton
factory supplies, of one particular kind Of
cloth, 1000 pieces per montll-say $4,000
yards. OF all other kinds, about 10000
yards arc used. Half million yards Of
tape arc also used up every month; 225,-
600 yards of twenty strand iuto cord; TO-
900 yards of haircloth; 1000 dozen spools
of cotton; 2.sOO,oOO eyelets, slides, clasps,
tubes, hooks, &c.
Although steel has been found to bc the
most suitable material for hoops, yet others
have not been altogether put out of the
question, because rattan and whacbone are
not only still used to a large extent in cheap
skirts for all the hoops, but they form a
part of the material Of nearly all of the
stecl-hoopcd skirts. The manufacturers Of
whom we have been speaking will use up in
the course of the present gear, two thou
sand two hundred miles Of hoops. The
consumption, IN feet i'll a month, Of the va
rious materials is rs follows: 100000 feet
of steel ribanls, 100000 feet of round rat
tan, 100000 feet of round oil-boilcd whale
bonc-a million fcct-wlich will give for
the year within fraction of 2,o57 1-2 miles
of hoops.-Boston Coaricr.

MANS LOVE.

GA woman has suggested that when men
break their hearts, it is all the same as
when a lobster breaks one of his claws
another sprouling Immediately, and growing
in its place"
Now if any v0nan was the author of the
above, (Which am inclined to doubt,) it
must have been some cross grained, Grabbed,
sour-tempercd old maid, whose own leather
heart had been dried and cut into shoe
strings; besides being very unfortunate
in her malo acquaintance, for no right,
minded woman, capable of loving. or
worthy of being loved could for a moment
entertain such an idea and my word for it,
any man possessing feelings deep enough
to cause his heart to break, has not at the
same time sufficient lobster qualities to ena.
ble linn to renew it.
AS far as my experience among the
stcrncr sex extends, know of none whose
hearts contain more sprouting qualities
than can be found among our own scx.-
That there arc vain, frivolous, hcartless men,
will admit; but, thank heaven they arc
comparatively few; and the majority arc
noble.soulcd, hiyl,principled, kind-hear,cd
and aitectionatc husbands, fathers, sons, and
| brothers.
Though Il man may not shed "tcars like
the rain-lr"ps," at the recital of every tale
Of woe, it is no proof that he lacks sympa-
thy and tenderness; though hc may not he
always sighiug like !. disconsolatc hero, i'll
diting sonnets to the moon, extol,ing his
Iady's beauty in smoothly written lyme,
and be ever ready to fall at her feet, like
the heathcn devotcc before the car of Jug
gernaut, it is no sign that he lacks affection
for love as selt:sacriiicing, pure, and heaven
! born as ever warmed the breast of woman,
has found a holy nesting place in the heart
| Of man.
Business may engross his thoughts, care
trace his brow with wrinkles, and time place
here and there among his dark locks threads
Of silver, his form may bow with age, and
his firm footsteps learn to tottcr, but if
within his heart Of hearts :ovc has raised g
throne and placed thereon a queen, time
care, and all their aids may toll in vain, FOL
allconqucring death alone has power tc
withdraw linn from his allegiance. For he,
he rcars the altar of home, and tolls unceas
ingly, that merciless want may not plant
his unwelcom, footprints in those holy
precincts. 10 her lie gives tho haIcyon
days of youth, all the bright hopes ane
joys Of maturer years, and at her feet lay
manhood's hard-won laurels.
Ali! tell inc not that love in man is bu
Il name, an evanescent fancy, worn like /;
glove, and cast aside as lightly for a
firmly rs believe in God, do l also be
lieve in the undying affection of man.

THE DEAD WIFE.

In comparison with the loss of a wife,
all other bercavements are trilles. The wife,
she who fills so large space in the domes-
tic heaven, she who is so bnsied, so unwearcd,
bitter, bitter is the tear that falls on her clay
You stand beside her grave and think of
the past 1t seems an amber.covercd path
way, where the sun shone upon beautiful
flowers, or the stars hung glittering over
head. Fain would the soul linger there.
No thorns arc remembered above tie sweet
clay, save those your own hands may have
unwittingly planted Her noble, tender
heart lies open to your inmost sight You
think Of her as all gcntleness, all beauty and
purity.
But she is dead. The dear head that
has so often laid upon Jour bosom, now
rests upon pillow of clay. The hand that
administered so untiringly, are faded, white
and cold, beneath tho gloomy portals. The
heart whose every beat measured an cterni-
ty Of love, lies under your feet. And there
is no white arm over your shoulders now
mo speaking face to look up in the eve O:
lovc-no trembling lips to murmur, g Oh,
it is too sad !" There is a strange h ush in
every room No smile to meet you at night
faIl-and the clock ticks, and ticks, and
TICKS! It was sweet. music when she could
hear it. Now it seems to knel only the
hours through WHICH yop watched the shad-
ows of death gathering. upon the. sweet face.
But many a tale it telleth. of joys past, sor-
rows shared, and beautiful words registered
above. You feel that the grave cannot Keep
her. You knowhhatshe is often by your
side; an angel presence. Cherish those
emotions; they will make you happier. Let
her holy presence be as. charm to keep
youfrom evil mall new and pleasant con-
nections giyeher.a place in yourheaft. Ney;

Important Truths for JPires.-Tn do
mcslichappiness the wife's influence is much
greater than her husbands; for the one, the
first causc-mutual love and confidence
bcing granted, the whole comfort of the
household depens upon trities more imme-
diately under her jurisdiction. BY her man
agement of small sums, her husbands re-
spectabiity and credit are created or des-
troyed. No fortune can stand the constant
leakages Of extravaganza and mismanage-
mcnt; and moro is spent in dimes than
women would easily believe. Tho one great
expense, whatever it may be. is turned over
and carefully reflected on ere incurred the
income is prepared to meet it; but it is
pennies impcrceptibly sliding away which
do the mischief; and this alone tho wife
can stop, for it docs not com within mans
province. There is often an unsupported
triae to be saved in every household. 1t
is not in economy alone that the wife's at.
teRtop is so necessary, BUT in those niceties
which mark well regulated house. An
unfurnished cruet stand, a missing key,
bpttonless shirt, clammy spoon, soiled
table.c!oth, amustard pot, its old contents
sticking hard and brown about itsare seve.

READING ONES OWN OBITUARY.

III the days of Mycsll, the publisher Of
the Newport (Mass.) hearld, IA Journal still
alive and flourishing,) tie Sheriff OF old Es-
sex, Philip Bagley, had been asked several
times to pay up his arrears of subscription.
At last he ono day told Mycall that he
would "hand over" the next morning, as
sure as he lived. If you don't get your
money tomorrow you may bc sure 1 am
dead" lie said.
The morning came and passed, but no
money. Judge Of the Sherii's feelings when,
on the morning of the day after, he opened
his Herald, and saw announced the lamen-
ted deccasc of Philip Bagley, Esq, high
Sheriff Of the county of Essex; with an
obituary notice attached, given the deceased
credit for a good many excellent traits of
character, but adding tina: he had one fault
very much to be deplorcd-hc was not
pnnctual in paying the printer.
Bayley, without waiting for his breakfast
started for the Herald office. On the way
it struck him rs singular that none of the
many friends and acquaintance he met
seemed to be surprised TO sec him. They
must have read their morning paper. Was
it possible they cared SO little about linn as
to have forgotten already that lie was no
more! Ful: Of perturbation, lie entered the
printing office to deny that he was dead.
"Why, Sheriff." exclaimed the facetious
editor, thought you were icfunct?"
"Dcfurct !" exclaimed the Sheriff, what
put that idea into your hcad?"
"Why, you yourself!" said Mycall. Did
you not tell me"
"Oh! ali! yes! see!" sammered ou,
the Sheriff "WcIl, there's your money
And now contradict the report in the next
paper, if you please"
"Thats not necessary, friend Bagley,
said the old joker st aOas only printed IN
yo"r copy"
The good Sheriff lived many years afc
this SELL" and to the day of his real deatl
always took care to puy The printer.
