Maxims for Married Women

The unmarried woman, says an eX-
change, who can read this without indig~
nation, ought TO be married:
Let every wife be persuaded that there
ar, two ways OF governing a family. The
first is by the expression OF hat will which
belongs to force the second to the power
of mildness, to which every strength will
yield. One is the power of the husband;
q wife should never employ any other
means than those of gentleness. When a
woman accuStoms herself to say 81 will,
she deserves to lose hel empire.
Avoid contradic:ing your husband. When
we smell rose it's to imbuo the sweets
of odor; we look for everything amiable
in woman. Whoever is often contradic,
ted feels insensibly an aversion for the
person who contradicts, which gains
strength by time, and whatever be her
good qualities, is not easily destroyed.
Occupy yourself only with household
affairs wait till your husband confdes to
you those OF higher Importance, and do
not read lectures to him. Let your prea-
ching be a good example, and practice vir-
tue yourself to make him love it.
Command his attention by being al
ways kind to him never exact anything,
and you will attain much appear always
tiattered by the little he does for you,
which will excite him to do more.
All men are vain never wound his
vanity, not even in the most trihing in
stances, A wife may have more sense
than her husband, but she should never
seem TO know it.
Wheu man gives wrong counsel, new
er feel that he has done so, but lead him
10y degrees to what is rational, with mild
ness and gentleness when he is convin-
ced, leave him to the merit of having
found out what is just and reasonable.
When husband is out of temper, be-
have obligngly to him if he is abusive,
never retort, and never prevail over him
to humble him.
Choose well your friends, have but few
and be careful of following their advice in
all matters.
Cherish neatness without luxury. and
pleasure without excess dress with taste,
Particularly with modesty; vary in the
iashion OF your dress, especially as regards
coiors' IL gives change to the ideas,
anu recalls pleasing recollections. Such
tnlnSs may appear triHiug, but they have
more Importance than is imagined.

bands concerns, but obtain his confidence.
Always preserve economy, avoid being
out OF temper, and be careful never to
scold; by this means he will find his
house pleasanter than any other.

from him, especially before company

Never forget that wife owes all her
Importance to that of her husband. -

A FAULT CONFESSED.

al fault coafessd is half rcdrcss'a:" :"
A simple saying, brief and wise;
The ready truth is ever best,
If truth without disguise.
II, in a weak and angry hour,
We utter bitter words and strong,
Oh let US strive with all our p over
To rcctify the wrong
If we attempt to mar and stain
fellow beings peace and name
What does our selfish spirit gain
But fretfulness and shame?
Remember that we but distress
Another's quiet and our own
Then let us hasten TO confess,
Ard, if we can, atone.
But there are deeds done in the dark
More baneful still than careless speech
'Tis when we single out mark
That secret spite may reach;
An arrow from an unseen hand
Is wing'd to wound some guiltless breast
And who can such foe withstand,
Hidden and uncOnfessdl
God judgeth justly, and will bring
Grief for the mischief that we do;
We cannot work an evil thing
But we shall suffer too.
Then let US lay the bosom bare
Before the injured one and Heaven,
And, in gush Of heartfelt prayer,
Confess and be forgiven

negroes this season $500, for corn raised

We take pleasure in stating further,

PROPHECY AND ITS FULFILL
MENT,

81 do not ever expect to he married"
SAID young lady OF twcntysthree, some
five and twenty years ago.
"Ah NJ" replied lacetious old
uncle, in tone Of mock pathos, "if you
thought you should not be married, YOU
would not sleep wink tonight"
al do not expect to be married" perss-
ted the maiden, "and have formed three
resolutions on the subject: First, that
will not become soured toward the world ::
secondly, that | will not talk scandal !;
and thirdly, that ! will not be ashamed TO
tell my age"
The girl read her destiny with proph
etic eye, and perhaps her resolutions have
been better kept than resolutions goncr-
ally are. But then tho temptation to vi
olate tho first two has been small The
world has proved a very good one, pres

smooth surfaces rs could reasonably have
been eXpectod and if the words, Its

and then, the prevailing and almost u1n-
slant sentiment has been: "The world
is full Of beauty and love" OF course,
when ones on good terms with society,
there is but little inducement to spend
ones breath in circulating i'll reports.

married one, acknowledge her age. 70

The PROPER MANNER FOR WOMEN TO
Dress. s.-"All the Year Round" has the
following :--"As you look from your win,
dows in Paris, observe the first fifty wo,
men who pass forty have noses deprcs-
sed in the middle, n small quantity of
dark hair, ard a swarthy complexion but
then, what toiIeti Not only suitable
for the season, but the age and complex
ion Of the wearer. How neat the feet and
hands How well the clothes are put on,
and, more than all, how well they suit
each other! Before English women can
dress perfectly, they must have the taste
o! the French, especially in color. One
reason why We see colors ill-arranged in
England is, that different articles are pur~
chased each for its own ina yined virtues,
and without any thought Of what is TO
besworn with it. Women, while shop
ping buy what pleases the eye on the
counter, forgetting what they have got at
home. That parasol is pretty. and it will
kill, by its color, ono dress in the buyers
wardrobe, and be unsuitable for the 9th.
crs To be magniicently dressed costs
money; but, to DO dressed with taste
knowledge and refinement. Never buy
an article unless il is suitable to your age
habits, style, and TO the rest of your ward-
robe. Nothing is more vulgar than to
wear costly dresses with common delaine
OF cheap laces with expensive ,brocadcs--
what colors, we may I've asked so best TO
gether Green with violet; cold with
dark crimson or lilac pale blue with scar
let or pink. A cold color generally re,
quire warm tint TO give life to it. Gray
and pale blue, for instance do not COM
bne well, both being cold colors. White
and black arc safe TO wear, but the latter
is not favorable to dark complcXions.-
Pink is, for some skins, the most become
ing not however, if there is much color
in the cheeks or lips, and if there be even
a suspicion of red in either hair or COM
pleXions. Peach color is perhaps, one OF
the most elegant cOlors worn. Maize is
very pecoming, particularly to persons
with dark hair and eyes. But Wherever
the colors or materials of the entire dress
the details are all in all; the lace round
the bosoms and sleeves, the fowers--iu
fact all that furn ishes the dress. The
ornaments in the head must harmonic
with the dress. If trimmed with black
lace, some Of the same should bo worn in
the head, and flowers that are worn in the
head should decorate the dress
