not be relied on. that he had no principles

that he had courage and persistence. Bu'
now he has himself destroyed even thi,
last relic Of his prestige. Terrified by the
Southern fuss and clamor. he finally de-

Saturday. he said. what he mad said before

The DEAD WIFE-Incompariso witt,
the loss of wife. all other bereavements
are trihcs. The wife; she who. fills so
large space in the domestic heaven; she
who is busted, so unwearied; bitter, bitter
is the tear that falls on her clay. Yoli
stand beside her grave. and think of the
past; it seems an amber -colored pathway
where The sun shown upon beautiful flow
crs. for the stars hung glittering overhead.
Fain would the soul linger there No
thorns are remembered above tho sweet
clay. save those your own hands have un-
Willingly planted. Her neble. tender heart
lies open to your inmost sight. Yon think
of her as all gentlcness, all beauty and pu-
rity. But she is dead. The dear head
that has so often lain ION your bosom.
now rests upon pill ow of clay. The
hands that administered so untiringly are
faded, white and cold beneath the gloomy
portals. The heart whose every beat meas
nred an eternity of love. lies under your
feet. And there Is no white arm over your
shoulder now---no speaking face to look
up in the eye of love-no trembling lips
to murmer. "Oh. it is too sadi" There IS
a strange lnish in every room! No smile
to meet you at night fall--and the clock
ticks. and ticks, and tic.ssl 1t was sweet
music when she could hear it. Now it
seems to knell only the departed hours,
through which you watch the shadows Of
death gathering upon the sweet face But
many a tale it telleth of joys past. sorrows
shared and beautiful words registered
above. You feel that the grave cannot
keep her. You know that she is often by
your side in angel presence Cherish these
emotions; they will make you happier
Let her holy presence be as q charm to
keep you from evil In all new aud pleas
ant connections give her place in your
heart. Never forget what she has been to
you-that she has loved you Be tender

SHE WORKS FOR LIvING.-Commend
Us to the girl of whom it is sneeringly said.
She works for iying;' in her we are al.
woman-a real lady. True, We are not
prepared to see mincing step. naughty
lip. fashionable dress, Or hear string OF
splendid nonsense about balls and the
young men, the new novels and the next
psrty--no. no; but we are prepared to hear
the words OF good sense. Language becom-
ing woman, neat dress, mild brow, and
to witness movements that would not dis
grace an angel. st ~
You who are looking for wives and
companions. turn from the fashionable, la
zy naughty girls. select one from those
who work for living, and neyer-our
word for twill you repent your choice.
You want substantial friend. and not o
doll; help mate and not help-eat;
counsellor and not q simpleton. You may
not be able to carry piano into your
house. but you can buy spinning wheel
or set OF knitting needles. If you can
not purchase every new novel, you may
be able to take some valuable paper. If
you cannot buy ticket for the ball, you
can visit some afflicted family s.li
Be careful then, when you look for COM
panions, and when you choose. We know
many foolish man. who instead of choos-
ing an industrious and prudent woman for
a wife, took one from the fsshionsble oek
and is now la nenting his folly in dust and
ashes. He ran into the fire with his eyes
wide open, and who but himself is to
blame?
The time was when ladies went visit
ing and took their work with them. This
is the reason, why we have such excellent
mothers. How singular would gay wo-
man look in fashionable circle, daTnins
her fathers stockings, of carding wool to
spin! Would not her companions laugh
at her? And yet such woman would be
a prize to somebody, Blessed is the man
who chooses for his wife some despised
