LIVE FOR SOMETHING.

Live for something, be not idle
Look about thee for employ!
Sit not down to useless dreaming
Labor is the sweetest joy.
Folded hands are ever weary,
Selfish hearts are never gay,
Life for thee hath many duties
Active be, then, while you may.
Scatter blessings in thy pathway
Gentle words and cheering smiles,
Better are than gold and silver.
With their grief dispelling wiles.
As the pleasant sunshine falleth,
Ever on the grateful earth,
So let sympathy and kindness
GLADDEN. well the darkened earth.
Hearts there are oppressed and weary,
Drop the tear of sympathy,
Whisper words of hope and comfort,
Give and thy reward shall be
Joy unto thy soul returning,
From this perfect fountain head,
Freely as thou freely givest.
Shall the grateful light be shed.

Filtration of Married Women.-The in
nocent Irritation of married woman is one of
the abomiuations of modern society. Even
a desire for promiscuous admiration is wrong
in a wife. The love of one and his approval,
should be all that she should desire. Let her
be ever SO beautiful it is disgusting sight
to see her decorating that beauty for public
gaze. to see her seeking the attention of
senscless fops around her, and rejoicing in the
admiration of other eyes than those of her
husband. Her beauty should be for him alone,
and not for the gaze of the fools that futter
around her. There is always among the Sc
date and the wise sensation of disg ust,
when married lady attempts to ensnare or
entrap young men by profuse display Of her
charms, or an unlicensed outlay of her smiles.
Such charms and such smiles are loathesome
to the Indifferent beholder; the trail of the
serpent is over them.
