BE GENTLE TO Thy WIFE.

Be gentle: there are hours wh-u her
Frail form with pain is rent
When pensive shades fit or her brow,
By care and sorrow sent.
Be gentle. 'tis for you that she
From day to day tolls on
In feeSleness, nor cares for ought
Save for your lore slene,
Be gentle: though her aching heart
haaty word may prompt,
Loves balm will heal the wounded part,
And hush each bitter thought.
Be gentle: o, twill ease those pains
Tha. rack her gentle frame;
Kind sympathy from loving friends,
Light Hopes expiring fame.
Be gentle: knew you the JOY she feels,
When your lone hours she can beguile,
You'd scorn to speak an angry word,
To her who lives but in your smile.
Cnsaid, then, be that cruel word,
T~ould cause her many bitter moan,
As menory's fount, thus rudely stirred,
Brought vain sighs for her childhood's home,
Then cherish well that gentle dove,
Who tunes for you alone her lay;
Redeem your plighted altar-vow,
And give her love and sympathy.
CLARA.

Short Patent sermon.
BY DOW, JR.

l shall give unto yotl sermon to-day
drawn frorti the following text:
The lady who before the tub
Is not ashamed to ring and rub,
Or on the floor ashamed to scrub;
And cares not who calls in to see
Her laboring so ndustrously,
Will make wife for you and me!
My Bretheren:--Since yon know that
marriage is a devine institution, and that
every one of you should have a wife, what
kind of rib would you select? A pretty
useless. little doll, or woman big and
spunkey enough to rassel with bear, and
come off best9 imagine you would care
nothing for either extreme, but ycu would
look for personal charmes. 0, you fool,
ish idolaters at the shrine of beauty!
Know you not that hundreds of husbands
are made miserable by handsome wives,
and that thousands are happy in the pos
session of homely ones? homely withouty
but beautiful within Alasl what is beau
ty9 1t is the flower that willis and with
ers almost as soon rs it is planted, tran
scient rainbow, feeting meteor, a deceit
light. The kind Of wife you want is of
good morals and kno how 10 mend
trowSers; who can reconcile peeling pota-
toes with practical or fashionable pietv,
who can waltz with cbGrn, and sing with
the tea kettle-whO understand broomolo-
gy and the true science of mopping-who
can knit stockings without knitting her
brows, ard knit up her husbands raveed
sleeve Of care-who prefers sewing tears
with her needle to sowing the tares Of
scandal with her tongue. Such is decid-
edly better half Take her if you can
get her-let her be up to her elboes in
the suds of the wash tub, or picking the
geese in the cow stable.
My hearers: My text speaks of lady
before the wash tub. You may think it
absurd but let me tell you female can be
a lady before the tub in the kitchen, as
much as in the drawing room or in ths
parlor. What constitutes a ladyl 1t is
not costly dress, paint for the cheeks,
false hair, and falser airs; but it is her
general department, her intellectual en-
dowments, and that evidence of virtue
which commands the silent respect and
admiration of the world. She would be
recognized as lady at once. 1t matters
not where or in what situation she was
found, whether searching for bed bugs
with hot poker, or loElering hallelujah
at camp meeting. All that have fur
ther to say, fellow bachelors, is, that when
you marry, see that you get lady inside
and out--one who knows how to keep
the pot boiling, and looks we'll to her
household So mote it be.

A REMEDY FOR DYsE ENTERT.-The De-

At a time when this dreadful disease is

found in foot and half of the stalk

and let the patient drink 1t at his leisure.
The mullen does not effect the taste. The
beneficial effects of this simple and pleas

that "tartar'' on teeth is the product Of a
living insect, upon which neither vinegar
or tobacco juice mas any affect, but which
is instantly destroyed by soap suds-hence,
plain white soap is recommended as the

THE OLD FOLKS.
BY MRS. MARY A. DENNIsOS.

THE OLD FOLKS.
In large old fashioned farm house, de-
void of prentension in style or furnishing,
sat sun brown farmer and his wife. They
were homely, old fashioned people, and
while the good woman sewed, and the
farmer looked on silently, smiles fingered
on their lips.
They were listening to a simple little
song that came from the room beyond, and
whose pathos sometimes made the tears
start. Twilight was falling, how softly. in
the pleasant village. That beautiful hour
seems holier in the new autumn time. The
woods are crowned with regal spIendor,
and the hills change from glory to glory,
as the great sun sinks behind them. The
late birds twitter bits of melody-peace is
written on field, leaf red flower
The old farmer ans his wife felt all this
in their simple, loving hearts, as they look
cd abroad, still listening to those sweet
words and the full, glorious voice
"She's dear child" whispered the far
mer, as he sank back in the eathern chair.

"She isn't like her-she's only like her
own dear self-but she knows a sight
