movement. Within the same quarter of an
hour, were two other watchmen (but yet not
the right one) arrested and brought to the
watch house. One ofthem had sung shame
full song before the house of the Minister of
Foreign Affairs /; to the effect that nothing was
more foreign to the Minister than the affairs
of his own department. The other was ac-
cused of singing before the Episcopal palace :;
that the Lights of the Church were not want
ing In talow. but that they diffused over the
land more smoke and vapor than holiness.
The Prince who had played such a trick
upon all the watchnen of the Residence with
his jokes, had lnckly escaped ON every occa-
sion, and grew bolder from street to street.
The affair began to make great noise. They
had even reported the poetic insurrection Of
the usually so quiet watchmcn to the Minister
OF Police, who was at play with the King,
and sent him copies of some of the verses
The king laughed heartily at one which was
directed against the Police itself, which in
trudsd its sprying nose into every family
secret in the city, but could smell nothing
in its own house. He commanded that
some OF these satiric and poetic watchmen
should be brought into his presence, and
rose from the table because he saw that the
Minister of Police had lost his good temper.

HUSBAND AND WIFE,

A man is good husband, you say. 1t is
well. But what would he have been with
another wife? No husband at all perhaps, or
worse than none. His goodness bis wife's,
or more his wifs's than his. 1t is we'll, we
say, that under any influence he can be good !;
but let him not take all the credit of his GOOD
ness to himself. The bigger share is due to
his better half. Some might be good, if tried
to two or three in succession; some, but to
one; and some, alas. to none A woman is q
good wife. This, too, is we'll. But how
much of her goodness is her husbands? She
cannot tell. Perhaps two-thirds. Then let
her not be proud. Let her keep from boast
ing. Let her cherish madest thoughts of her
self, and form charitable judgments of others.
and her virtue will be all the greater, and
her comfort all the safer.
