a Husband Reformed.

Some men never speak sympathize with
their wives in regard to household cares and
domestic annoyances. Mr.. Jerboa was a man
of this kind. Whenever his wife came to
him with complaints be would pooh.pooh
them and if she ventured to speak of the
m~.sdoings of an employee, Jerboa would at
once take sides with the latter, and declare
that % good mistress ever had q bad servant.
As to alledged thefss and appropriations, on
the part of the kitchen-giris, he was totally
i~ncredulons. He swouidn't believe q word
Of it, One day Jerboa sent home a barrel Of
extra aice crushed sugar. which (the head be.
ing knocked out by the carman1 was left
standing in the hall until Mr.. j. should come
in and stow it away in the store room. At
last he came, aud on looking at his sugar.
found that q considerable quantity of it had
been taken from the barrel. He spoke to
his 'better hall" about it she professed en-
tire ignorance on the subject Who could
have taken il, .hen? She didn't know, it un-
less 1t was the ~servant-girl or the washer
woman. Jerboa Indignantly secuted the in
situation and to show Mrs. j. how cruelty
unjust she '.Glcoys was towards those moor
creatures" he called them both up at once
and asked them il they had taken the sugar.
No, they hadn't, and how could he think so ?
You may well ask that, said the triumphant
Jerboa, looking severely at Mrs. J. But Mrs.
j. was q woman worthy to be wife and mother,
and was not to be put down. She Enep the SUI.
gar had been stolen by one or both of the wo.
men before her, & observing that each Of them
was minus her left stocking, she pointed to
the exposed limbs and authoritatiyely asked
where the stockings were. The culprits were
thunderstruck, and after looking in each 9th.
er's guilty faces for a moment, they began to
cry. Observing q protuberance on one side
ofeach weeper, she touched them on the Tex.

ing that their mistress .sknew all" the con.
victed trespassers produced from underneath
their dresses the missing stockings, crammet
full of Mr.. Jerboa's superior crushed sugar
at sight Of which Jerboa himself was crushed

from that moment He has become the mos
sympathizing of husbands, and now listen,
with eagerness to Mrs. Us recital of her tri
ais with the denizens Of the kitchen.

~ ALfdEI4-
The broad, and ane, and fertile plain,
'Twix Atlantic's and Paciac's main.
The land Of freedom, love and joy,
Where pleasure is without alloy,
Where man has equal rights,
Which all that are oppressed, invites.
To make q home within it's bounds.
Which liberty and peace surrounds.
The heart, the soul, yes, freedoms hope,
With which in richness none can cope:
Religion suited to each mind,
To no one sect the soul confined:
Not persecuted for belief.
And where 1t seems should be no grief.
With cities scattered DER its plains,
Where christian fellowship stiIl reians.
With mountains reaching to the clouds
Which heaven with azure blue enshrouds,
And rivers c~oursing through its wales;
And over hills and over dales,
The locomotives sound is heard,
And swiftcr thana flying bird,
The electric wire a message takes,
Unmaking time such speed Ii makes.

Where the poor Indian lived in ease,
I meant not to say poor in gold,
Or anything wealth can unfold,
But in the treasures of the mind,
In these the Indian was behind
The times simple and just in all his ways
The red man should have highest praise
For our forefathers took his land,
And drove him to Pacinc's strand.
But to my tale. On Wabash's shore
About Tecumseh's time, before
Our prosperous nation was made free,
VI they had thrown o'erboard the tea
Lived an old chief in his last years,
With an only daughter, comfort Of his tears,
Named LEILA, with a fine dark face,
In which much beauty you could trace.
As the ravens wing, her hair was black,
And streamed In torrents down her back,
The eagles was her eye of Jet,
And she was loved by all she met,
Her sisters Of the forest thought
10 earth as guardian she was brought.
Her actions all did show full well,
That innocence in her did dwell,
Her ancient sire she did attend,
And to him all her soul did lend.
That little sorrow he should see.
Ere he was in eternity.
For him she chilled the summer flowers.
And led him to the shady bowers.
That he might rest his weary limbs,
For old age al ones pleasure dims,
Especially when racke with pain,
And man Is but a child again.

on the arm of her husband, fell on the oaken
chest, standing soltarly in large room.
This old chest pleased the young woman.
When she heard that if descended from We
netian lady of nobility who allied herself with
the house of Orsins several centuries ago and
that she brought it TO Modena, and in which
ever since the costly wedding robes of the
Duchess of Orsinis we're retained-the curios-
ity seized her to know whether after so long a
lapse of time any traces remained of the rich
costumes of past ages.
She ordered the chest opened. The lock
was rust bound, and its ingenious mechanism
long withstood all efforts; but at last the OBJ
lect was accomplished. But who will des-
cr;be the horror OF the young Dutchess, her
husband, and that of the servants who opened
the resisting lock of the chest, when they all,
on raising the lid, beheld SIX eleton reclining
in the dust of decayed brocade garments.
With this stirring of pearls Count Colonna
once begirthcd the lovely head of his young
bride, when Sempieri painted her portrait,
and with these rows of pearls the fair being
on her wedding day fastened the orange bios
som with which her golden curs were entwin-
ed. This necklace was the first terrible vestge
of the over-happy bride, who once in the
Orsini palace disappeared so mysterously
This dreadful discovery was followed mp which
made after so long period of time, and
soon there remained no doubt but that this
fresh and blooming life found death in the
oaken chest.
The skeleton and the pearls were again low
cred into the awful depths of this terrible
grave, and over the same was hung the pic
ture of the handsome young bride.
So the room in the Orsini palace is, to 4
certain degree, churchyard, or vault for the
dead. There has, tits true, but one spirit
found rest here, but what may this heart have
suffered this one mind endured ere death re-

Many persons, says the Historical Mdgdetne,
for June, are under the impression that the
name given to the State of PennSy lvania or-
ginated from the influence exercised by Will
liam Penn on the Councils of England. Such
is not the case, is proved in the following
extract from letter written by William Penn,
dated January 5th, 1851; "This day, after
many waitings, watchingS, solcitings and dis
putes in council, my country was confirmed
to me under the great seal Of England, with
powers and privileges, by the name of Penn
sylvania, a name the King would give it in IA
vor of my father. | choose New Wales, being

Welshman, refused to call in New Wales,

the King to have it struck out. He said it was

A lifT AT HEROIC DosEs.-Dr. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, who seems to understand physic
as well as he does poetry, at IA recent meeting
of the Massachusetts Medical Society, uttered
this sarcasm on the American creed for medi-
cine: .slIow could people, who have a revolu-
bowie knife and the revolver, who have chew
ed the juice out of all the superlatives in the
language in Fourth of July orations, and so
used up its epithets in the rhetoric of abuse
that it takes two great quarto dictionaries to
supply the demand, which insists in sending
our yachts and horses and boys to out-run,
flight, and check mate all the rest of crea-
ton-how could such people be content with
anything but heroic practice2 What wonder
that the Stars and Stripes wave over doses of
ninety grains of sulphate OF quinine and that
the American eagle screams with delight to
see three drachms of calomel given at single
mouthful.' -

A pearl that only shone by night,
Whose falling beam of splendor breaks,
The breast of countless silver lakes
We're every star that decks the sky.

NEVER Buy WHAT You Don't NEED.-If
the poor-house has any terror for you, never
buy what you don't need. Before you pay
three cents for jews-harp, see if you can t
make just as pleasant noise by whistling, for
which nature furnishes the machinery. And
before you pay seven dollars for figured vest,
young man, find out whether your lady-love
would not be just as glad to see you in plain
one that cost just halt the money. If she
wouldn't let her crack her own wanuts and
buy her own clothes. When you see man
pay S5 for Frenchified toy that philosophic
Yankee baby will pull to pieces in five minu-
teS the chances are that he will live long en-
ough to realize how many cents there are in
a dollar; and if he don't he is sure to bequeath
that privilege to his widow. When man
asks you to buy that for which you have no
use, no matter how cheap it is, say you are
sure some one else wants it at an advance.
Money burns in some peoples pockets, and
makes such pesky hole, that every thing
that is put in drops through past finding.
