The Test ETA Good Hus5and-Look
at the key-hole of the latch-key on the
street door. If the paint is not rubbed
off two or three inches round it, if the
edges are as sharp and clean as when
the door was first painted, you may be
sure that it is truthful indication of
good husband, who is most regular, and
so early as scarcely ever to have occa-
sion to use his latch-key; or supposing
he does, is So accurate in bis aim as to
be able to hit the key hole the very first
time of aiming at it. How many hus-
bands who go home late would be able

The Secret Of Eloqueace.-l owe my
success in life to one single fact, viz:
that at the age of twenty seven years,
commenced and continued for years the
process of daily reading and speaking
upon the contents of some scientific and
historical work. These of-hand efforts
were made sometimes in corn6eld, at
others in forest, and not unfrequently
in some distant barn, with the horse and
the OK, for my auditors. 1t is to this
early practice in the great art of all arts
that | am indebted for the primary and
leading impulses that stimulated me for
ward and shaped and moulded my entire
subsequent destiny. Improve, then,
young gentlemen, the superior advanta-
ges you here enjoy. Let not day pass
without exercising your power OF speech.
There is no power like that of oratory-
Caesar controlled men by exercising
their fears. Cicero by captivating their
affections and swaying their passions
The influence of the one perished with
its author, that of the other continues to
this day.-Henry Clay.

The Test Of a Good Young Mam--
This test takes pretty nearly the same
circle as the above. However, instead
of the street door. look at his watch. If
the key-hole where it is wound up is
bright, and without the smallest margin
nal motif there be no scratches, run
ming in giddy maze around it, such az
betray decided marks of fumbling, You
may look upon it as shining mirror Of a
good young man, whose hand, when he
goes to bed, is as steady as his conduct
has been through the day.

Womans Empiye-The first and most
important quality of a woman is gentle
ness. Made to obey being so imperfect
as man, often full of vices, often full OF
faults, she ought early to learn to suffer
even injustice, and to bear wrong from a
husband without complaining. 1t is not
for his sake it is for her own that she
ought to be gentle. The i'll temper and
obstinacy of women never do anything
else than augment their ills and the bad
conduct of their husbands feel that
it is not with those arms they ought to be
overcome. Heaven did not make w0.
man lnsinuating and persuasive that they
might be peevish it did not make them
feeble that they might be imperious itdid
not give them a voice so soft that they
might rail it did not give them features
so delicate that they might disfgure them
by rage. When they are angry they for.
get themselves. They have often reason
to complain but they are always wrong
in scolding. Each ought to maintain the
character of the respective sex. A hus-
band too mild may render wife presum.
ing but at least if man be not mon-
ster, the gentleness of woman will paci-
fy him and triumph over him sooner or
later. The empire of woman is an en-
pire of softness, of address, of compliance;
her commands are caresses, her menaces
tears.

When he had reached his home on the

a letter, telling her from an agOnizing

through in order that he might forget
her. But alas her soft blue eye was

TRUE STORY,
LOVE AND IT'S CONSEQUENCES.
(CONCLuDED.)


Fairy Seymour had never loved hln'
and turning upon him look OF cold dis
dain, fathoming with her penetrating eye
the secret workings of his SOUL told MN
that she had hoped that time and tls'al'ce
had long since effaced her name from Ills
memory, and that even in this happy as
sembly, under the sweet influences OF
heaven, she could not but refuse him the
proffered honor. Though his sensitive
nature was somewhat damprned hy t'ls
reply, he was not altogether devoid oi
that feeling of pride which had ever char
acterized him in past troubles aud advef-
sites. So while maddencd with unso'-
ernable emotion he turned to speak, an"
his face flushing with the ,inge OF InJie-
nation. he bid her last farewell; toin
her that his destiny was not yet decidc"'
and that so long as the anlmaling spar"
of life still flickered in his bosoli', lie
would return to the opposing world, ALA
in another cline, with strong arm ''h'
resolute heart he would crush the rlSlne
spirit of human frailty, and detest iore'-
er the name of Fairy Seymour.
1t was now growing late; the king OF
day, clothed in his brilliant garb' was
sinking beneath a cluudless horIlzon.-
Evening was drawing her shadowy cloak
over earth, and a thousand sparkling Ia
ces looked down in smiling beauty from
the concave heaven. This little group

ton of one, with lightened heart were

Clarence was long in reaching home
He was thinking of by-gone days anu
wears, Of the scenes of the irrevocaoie
and buried past; the unhappy hours OF
the present, and the untold and lnevita-
bic future. In taking retrospective
view Of the vicissitudes through which
he had passed, he saw nothing but the
vithered flower which had bloomed to
gladden. his youth, but had perlshed un-
touched in the path of his boyhood. nc
had ever been chained down by the gall
ing fetters of recklessness and dlscon'
tent. vet he had struggled hard and Of
ten to climb the eminence where delights
hung out in Turing beauty, and where
hope, basking in the sunshine of happl'
ness, with one wave of her golden wing
had bid him come. But alas! when he
would reach out to hug the wlshed''o'
treasures to his bosom the turhld waters
of disappointment would rush before him
and he was lost forever in the vortex o
DESPAIR. With all these troubles weigh
inr upon him, he had. with az inHexlbl'
will, surmounted every obstacle whlr'
had been thrown as barriers across tn
highway of his existence. Truly nov

Thoughts aohile Hating for the P1-in-
ter's DeriH.-To confound wealth with
happiness, is to mistake the means for
the end. You might as well fancy that
knife and fork would give you an ap-
petite. The smallest compliment we re-
ceive from another confers more pleas
ure than the biggest compliment We pay
to ourselves Most fashions are ridicu-
Ious, but one is obliged to tumble into
ridicule to a.ofd appearing still more
