HUSBANDS.

Husbands should not suppose that
when wearied with business they have
all the trouble and the wife none. Do
not go home and there vent your i'll
humor upon your unoflending spouse.
Recollect that she has cares as well
as you. If you are annoyed by GUS
toners, worried for money, alarmed
at the failures of debtors, do not take
vengeance for your troubles by rem
dering the household miserable with
your sour looks and i'll temper. All
your fretting about business will not
render you any richer or happier,
and your home should be too holy a
sanctuary for rcpinings or frowns.

For the Charles City Intelligencer
A REVERJE

"Oh, world! SO few the hours we live,
Would that the life which thou dost give
Were life indeed:
But all thy sorrows fall so fast,
The happicst hour is when at last
The soul is freed "
Truc-too true We never taste
genuine happiness till the soul is freed
from this earth, and enters heaven, its
rest. We fancy ourselves happy when
some fondly coveted object is obtain
cd, but, like a flake, it pcrishes
in our grasp, and leaves us only the
more desolate for having been its pos.
SCISSOR. The same is true of nearly
all earthly possessions. The young
and inexperienced cannot know this,
and it is well, perhaps that they
should not. Anticipation would in
that case cease to be, and this world
would seem void, just what it really
is its poetry all blotted out, its hope
all cXtinguished.
Is the mother happy when she
clasps her first-born infant? She may
be, but not in what she then possesses
but in anticipation of the future
the long future which she pictures.
She is indeed rich, in prospect But
let her feel that the babe she so fond
| ly presses to her bosom is in fact all
that it ever will be-that it has reach.
ed the climax of development, the
end for which it was made, physically
and intellectually-that it is simply a
lump of flesh, utterly dependent on
her forever-and what is her misery |!
She even regrets that it ever had cx-
istence.
1t is said
This world is lovely STILL
There are, indeed, some things lovely
on this earth--such as rivers, forests,
birds and flowers. Nature is lovely
when left unpolluted, unscathed by
man. But mam-my feiioao-man-has,
fiend-like, blackened and laid waste
the most beautiful of all this world
ever contained. Our country than
which nothing, save Heaven, was ever
more dear-wherc is she 4? In sack,
cloth and ashes ! Will she rise, phe-
nix-like, and become lovely, more
beautiful, pure and glorious /? Will
the blood of her noblest and best
which is being poured out like water
expiate her guilt, purge her from her
iniquities, give her strength, symme.
try and beauty? Will right, instead
of might, ever become her motto
Will God be accepted as law-giver,
and will she ever heed his mandates!
+" Fleet-footed is the approach of woe,
But with lingering step and slow
Its form departs.
