We laugh at woman's tongue, and won
der when woman keeps secret; but every
true woman keeps box of choice reserves
for her own private indulgence. The mans
mysteries are not hers; if he cannot keep
them to himself, let him expect them to be
blown sbroad. Her own secrets of love, OF
loss, of selfdenial, of unsupported suffering,
no woman exposes altogether, even to her
nearest friend. There never lived husband
happy in the true love of his wife, who fairly
knew all the depths of her mind about him.
Every man profits stupidity by the wise little
perceptions that arise SO quietly and have no
utterance except in deeds, of which We
vaguely ascribe the fitness to a special faculty
called woman's tact. Woman in short, keep
to themselves four-ffths Of the secrets of so
ciety, and do it with winning air of frank
ness all tbcir own. ina ineruot<F
A man with secret will be stony, or por-
tentous, Or provokinsly suggestive; he will
keep bis mouth shut ostentaiiously. A wo-
man is too absolutely secret TO set up pub
lie sign over whatever may lie buried in her
mind. She gossips, prattlcs, pours out what
she docs not care to hold, with such aa air
of unreserved simplicity that all mankind is
mysii6ed, and says, in friendly jest, "a wO-
man only hides what she don't know."-
Among tho uneaaeated poor this difference
between the woman aad the man is most
conspicuous. The Innate powers Of her sex
place her at once upon an eminence which
man can only reach by education. She must
often DO tied to one in whom there is often
not the grain of understanding requisite to
the formation of true sympathy. by far the
greater number of the wives of uuskiled la
borers aud mechanics, live more or less hap
PLY, aud more or less conscious Of the hid
den life within them, having such seal upon
their minds and hearts.

AS the star when morn appears,
While we stood in silence round her,
Gazing ather through our tears.

And she left us smiling sweetly, Ill.
Bidding us a last good night!
Saying, as she kissed us fondly, = {.

Walking a Raft.

TeErs was fellow once stepped out of
the Joor Of a tavern on the Mississippi,
meaning to walk mile up the shore TO the
next tavern. Just at the landing there lay a
big raft, one of the regular old fashioned
wh.,les-a raft mile long,
Well, the fellow heard the landlord say The
raft was a mile long, and he said to himself,
al will go forth and see this great wonder,
and let my eyes behold the timbers which
the hand of man hath hewn." So be got on
at tbe lower end, and began TO ambulate over
the wood in pretty fair time. But just as he
got started, the raft started too, and as he
walked up the river it walked down, both
travelling at the same rate. When he got 10
the end of the sticks, he found they were
pretty near ashore, and in sight of a tavern ;
so he landed, aud walked straight into the
bar-room he'd come out of The general
sameness of things took him little aback,
but he looked the landlord steady in the face,
and settled it in his own way.
"Publican," said he, are you gifted with
twin brother, who keeps similar sized
tavern, with duplicated wife, a competing
wood-pile, and corresponding circus bill a
mile from hcre'"
The tavernkeeper was fond Of fuo, and ac-
"ordiagly said that it was just so.
"And, publican, have you among your
dry goods for the entertainment of a man and
horse, any wbiskey of the same size of that
of your brothersf'
Aud the tavern man said, that from The
rising of The sun even unto the going down
of the same he had. .4s4-
