lin the New York market, the excess Of
capital over the general means OF invest
mens, begins to have its effect on the stock
market, in which the general tendency at
present seems TO be toward higher prices, e.
pecially in dividend paying securities, which
are in more demand for Investment. State
stocks in particular are very firmly held, and
the sales Of the past week have been quite
important.

DoxEnIc HArpISHss. Dspsnd on Il, there
10 great deal Of domestic happiness 10 .
well-dressed mutton chop. or tidy break
fast table. Men grow sisted Of music, are
often too wearisd Of conversation, however
intellectual; but they osn always appreciate
. well-swept hearth and smiling sonfort. A
woman may love her husband devotedly, may
sacrifice fortune, friends, family and coun-
try for hin-shs may have the genius Of a
Sarpho, the enchanting beauties Of Armida;
but melancholy fact, IL with those she fail TO
make his home comfortable, bis heart will
inevitably escape her. And women live %
entirely in tho affections, that without love
their affection IL . void. Better submit, then,
70 household tastes, than doom yourself to 8
loveless homo. Women Of the higher order
OF mind will not run this risk: they know
that their feminine, their domestic duties,
are their frst duties.
