How to Avoid a Bad Husband.

Never marry a man for wealth. A wo
mans life conssteth not in the things she
possessetb.
Never marry a fop, or one who struts
about dandy like 10 bis silk gloves and ruffles,
with silver cane and rings on bis fingers.
Beware! There is trap.
Never marry Diggard, a close. 6sted,
sordid wretch, who saves every penny, or
spends it grudgingly. Take care lest he
stint you to death.
Never marry stranger whose character is
not known or tested Some females lump
right into the fire, with their eyes wide open.
Never marry a NOPE or drone. one who
drswls and drugeles through life. one foot
after another, and lets things take their own
course.
Never marry a man who treats his mother
or sister unkindy or iudifferently Such
treatment is q sure indication of q mean and
wicked man.
Never, on any account, marry O gambler
or profsne person, one who in the least
speaks lightly of God or religion. Such q
man can never make q good husband.
Never marry sloven. n man who is negl-
gent OF his person or his dress. and is filthy
10 bis habits. The external appearance is sn
index to the heart
Shuu the rake as snake, o viper, very
demon.
Finally, never marry a man who is addict.
ed to the use Of ardent spirits. Depend upon
it you are better off alone than you would be
were you tied to a man whose breath is polu-
ted aud whose vitas are being gnawe6 out by
alcohol.

THE HAND UPON THE LATCH
A YOUNG wIFE's SONG.


My cottage homo is filed with lirb,
The long, long summer day,
But alb dearer love the night,
And hail the sinking ray.
For eve restores me one whose smile
Doth more than mornings match
"A nd life afresh seems drawing while
His hand is on the latch.
When autumn fields ore thick with sheave
And shadows earlier fall,
nd grapes grow purple 'ueath the caves
Along our trellis'd wall
dreaming sit-the sleepy bird
Faint twittering in the thatcb--
To wake to JOY when soft is heard
His hand upon the latch
In the short winter afternoon
throw my work aside,
Aud through the lattice, while the moon
Shines mistily and wide
On the dim upland paths I peer,
IN vain his form to catch
/ startle with delight and hear,
His hand upou the latch 2
Yes; I am bis storm and shine;
For me he tolls all day;
And bis true heart know ia mine,
Both near me and away.
And when be leaves our garden gate
At morn, bis steps l watch
Then patiently till eve await
His hand upon the latch

SONG OF THE WREN.
nj MRS. FRANCES d. eAor.


The morn was chill the autumn blast
Swept surging thro' the withering leaves.
While cold, and drearily, and fast,
The rain came pouring from the caves;
The clouds were black DER all the sky;
There was no spot Of cheerful blue,
And all things, to my weary eye,
Wore the same sombre hue.
Misfortunes heavy storms had pressed
Upon the autumn Of my years;
My fsinting spirit longed for rest;
And like the rain, so fell my tears.
mo hope" cried "the world is dark =
Why do live 1'-nDd came there then
A gush Of music: "Hark, oh bark!
See mid the storm yon wren!"
Hanging upon dripping limb,
Amid the cold, as cheerily
Singing his merry morning hymn,
As if no rain fell drearily:
"Weeper, weeper, dry up thy tears;
The sky will brightly glow ere mon;
Shame on thy human doubts and fears
Thy faith is chilled too soon.
why shouldst thou livel There's work 70
thee;
God never made thing in vain
He who sends sunshine to the tree,
Knoweth its need Of autumn rain
Knowelh He, too, thy spirits needs:
Up cheery, cheerily then;
Brighten the darkness by loving deeds.
List to the gong of the wren.

Mr.. Muligan regarded the wounds as tri.

days afterwards his hand and arm began to
swell in fearful manner. Everything was

wilderness of the north, until they disappeared
from the observation of France On the | st Of
December. the French, 10000 in number, met
the Russians and Austrians, 100, 900 strong, on
the field of Arsterlitz, more than thousand
miles from the capital of France. The conflict
was short and terrible. Alexander and Fran
els, from an adjacent emnence, witnessed the
discontinue and almost humiliation OF their
united army Accompanied by few guards
they joined the fugitives and fed from the CORY
field. flag of truce, borne by the hand of
Prince John Of Austria, was sent to Napoleon
imploring an armisticc. 1t was readily granted,
and the next morning the emperor Francis re
pared to an appointed place for an interview
with Napoleon. lie found the French emperor
standing by camp fire built by the side Of a
windmill. which alone protected him from the
wind which swept the frozen hills.
81 receive YOU" said Napoleon, Elm the only
palace which have inhabited for the last two
months"
"You have made such good use of that hab
itation," Francis replied, "that it ought to be
agreeable TO YOU
The terms of peace were soon concluded
both with Austria and Russia. When the en-
peror Francis had Withdrawn, Napoleon walked
for some time thoughtfuly before the fire, and
was overheard to say:
ii have acted very unwisely. | could have
followed up my victory, and have taken the
whole of the Russian and Austrian armies.
They are both entirely in my power. But-let
it be. 1t will at least cause some less tears to
be she'd"
Napoleon returned with the utmost rapidity
to Paris. leaving the army to follow by easy
marches, which occupied three months.
In the Place Vendome in Paris, there stands
a monumental obelisk in bronze reared in hon
or of the army which achieved this wonderful
campaign. The monument is constructed OF
cannon taken from the enemy. 1t was the de-
sign Of Napoleon to have the summit crowned
by a statue of peace, but the nation decided
that the statue of Napoleon, whose genius haC
dispersed the armies of combined despotsms
should surmount this trophy of his own achieve
ments When the allies subsequently drove
Napoleon from France, and reinstated The
Bourbons, they hurled the statue of the EN-
peror from its proud elevation. But the French
nation have again replaced it upon the summit
of the shaft, and there it will remain until tina
monument shall crumble to the dust.
