THE BRIGHT SIDE.

Look Oh the bright side. 1t is the
right SIDE. The times may he Lard, but
II will make them no easier to wear a
gloomy and sad countenance. 1t is the
sunshine, and not the cloud, that makes
q flower. There is always that before or
around US which should cheer an! fill the
heart with warmth. Tho sky is blue ten
times where it is black once. You have
troubles, it may be. So have others
None are free from them. Perhaps it is
rs well that none should be. They give
sinew and tone to life-fortitudo and
courage to man. That would be n dull
sea, and the sailor would never gst skill,
where there was nothing to disturb the
surface of the ocean. 1t is the duty of
every one TO extract all the happiness and
enjoyment he can, without and within
him; and, above all, he should look on the
bright side of things. What though
things do look little dark The lane will
turn, and the night will end in broad day.
In the long run, the great balance rights
itself. Men are not made to hang
down either heads or lips, and those who
do, only show taat tLey are departing
from the paths of true common sense and
right. There is more virtue in one sun
beam than whole hemisphere of clouds
and gloom. Therefore, we repeat, look
on the bright side of things. Cultivate
what is warm and genial--not the cold
and repulsive, the dark and morose.

HOME AND WIFE ON SAT-
URDAX.

Happy is the man who has n little
home, and little angel in it, of q Satur-
day night. A house no matter how lit
tie, provided it will hold two or so-no
matter how furnished, provided there is
hope in it; let the wind blow-close the
curtains
What if they are calico or plain, with
out border or tassel-or any such thing?
Let the rain come down heap up the
fire. No matter if you hayn't q candle
to bless yourself with, fol what beauti-
ful light glowing Goals make, reddening,
clouding, sleetin sunset radiance through
the little room-just enough to talk by;
not loud as in the hurrying world-but
softly, whispering, with pauses between
them, for the storm without an.l the
thoughts within to fill up.
Then wheel the sofa round before the
fire, no matter if the sofa is settee,, un-
cushioned at that; if SO, may be it is just
long enough for two, OF, say two and a
half in it. How mou,nfully swell the
chimes of the "days that are no morep'
Under such circumstances and such q
time, one can get, at least, sixty-nine and
half statute miles nearer "k;ngdom
come" than any other point in this world
laid down in Matte Bru1.
May be you smile at this picture, but
there is secret between us, viz: it is q
copy of the picture rudely drawn. but true
as the Pentateuch, Of an original in every
| human heart. e 4}1ste a.

SHARP Young WOMEN.

WE ha,a read OF savage reereations,
where little smoky fellows amused them
selves by hurting tomahawks at bound
aud helpless victims, to see how near
they could come without killing them, but
acts equally cruel are perpetrated daily IN
elegant drawing rooms, by the most dRl-
cct-voiced ladies that ever Gang out of
Heasyen's choir; done so gracefully that
every one except tho sufferer, is constrain-
ed to applaud.
Men grow angry and rough; they
swear, and make hammers of their hands,
and talk big and loud, aad very little is
trodden upon but toes; it is fair fight.
Not So when young ladies have the fatal
gift Of biting sarcasm, and with a merry
laugh hurl n tomahawk at some poor fell
law who is bound, as much rs if the
Sioux had him, by the thought that his
mother was a woman, and he must treat
all women cautiously for her sake.
That is the reason why in all personal
collisions when the fairer half of humanity
are assailai IS, man is sure to be whip
ped if he does not choose valor's better
part and run away. Those young ladies
are not rare who have q fancy for being
cutting as well as killing. and are constant
ly saying severe things. We mean no
disrespect, but a sharp young woman
should be contriyed hike Il penknife-shc
should shut up.
We have'secn lady, with the sweetest Of
smiles take sister to pieces just for am
uscment, as Botanist would flower,
without seeming to think of the tortir re
it inflicted; and we wondered how crea-
ture so beautiful could possibly be SO CRU
81. But then there is no malice in it af-
ter all; it is thoughtless but not therefore,
harmless.-B. F. Taylor.

BUNCOMRE FENCE,

"Unc'e Will was once summoned as a
witness in lawsuit, and while ON the
stand he was much worried by the plain
tffs attorney, who termented tue old
gentleman with every conceivable qi,cs-
ton whether applicable to the case or not.
At last Uncle Will became very tacitnrn,
and when compelled to speak growle,l on.
bis answers with very bad grace. After
q time the attention of the LAWYER was
called to fence which separated two pas
lures; and in the course of the question
ing the following dialogue occurred:
Now, Mr.. A, was the feace sIlueied
to good, strong fence!'
Yes, Sir
well, what sort of a fence was itF
1T was a BUNcoMBE fence, SIR
Now, Squire, will you oblige the count
by giving your definition of Bunco,nl.e
fcnce!'
"A Buncombe fence, Sir, is fence that
is bull strong, horse high and pig tight "
Uncle Will WAS dismissed fro,uihe stand
and retired with flyinr colots."
