THE CHEERFUL VOICE.

The comfort and happiness of home and
home intercourse, let me here say, depend
very much on the kindly and affecionate
training Of the voice Trouble, AID care,
and vexation will and must, ofcou1se, come;
but let them not creep into our voices. Let
only our kindly and happier feelings be vocal
II our homes. Let them be so if for no
other reason, for the little children sake.
These sensitive little beings are exceedingly
susceptible to the tones Let us have con-
slderation for them. They hear so much
that we have forgotten to hear For as we
advance in years, our life becomes more in
terror. We are abstracted from outward
scenes and sounds We think, we reflect,
we begin gradually to deal with the past as
We have formerly vividly lived in the pres
ent. Our ear grows dull to external sound
it is turned inward, and listen chiefly to the
echoes of past voices. We catch no more
merry laughter of children. We hear no
more the note of the morning bird. The
brook, that used to prattle gaily to US, rush
es by unheeded--we have forgotten to hear
such things. But little children, remember,
sensitive hear them all. Mark how, at ev-
cry sound, the young child starts, and turns
and listens And thus with equal sensitive
ness, does it catch the tones of human vol
ces How were it possible that the sharp
and hasty word, the fretfnl and complaining
tone, should not startle and pain, even de-
press, the sensitive little being whose harp
of life is so newly and delicately strung, vi
brating even to the gentle breeze, and thrill
ling sensitively ever to the tones of such
voices as sweep across it ? Let us be kind
and cheerful-spoken, then, in our homes. =

THE TRUE WOMAN. true woman,
for whose ambition ahusband' S love and her
ehldren's alterations are sufficient, who
applies her military instincts to the disci-
pline of her household, and whose Legislative
faculties are in making laws for hel
nurse; whose heart asks no other honor than
husband love and alteration; woman
who does not think it a weakness to heI
toilet and who does not disdain to be
beautiful who believes in the virtue Of
glossy hair and we'll fitting dresses, and who
eschews rents and raveled edges slip shod
shoes and audacious make-ups; woman who
speaks low, and does not speak much; who
is patient and gentle, intellectual and In

and yet does not love blin1lyi who never
scolds and rarely argues but adjusts with a
smile; such woman is the wife veal

The TRUE MAN.-He is above a mean
thing. He can not stoop to mean fraud.
Invades no secretsin the keeping of another.
He betrays no secrets confded to his own
keeping. He never struts in borrowed
plumage. He never takes selfish advantage
of our mistakes He uses no ignoble
weapons in controversy. He never stabs In
the dark. He is ashamed of inuendoes.
He is not one thing to a mans face, and
another behind his back. IF by action ne
comes in possession of his neighbor's
counsels, be passes upon them an instant
oblivion. He bears sealed packages without
tampering with the wax. Papers not
meant for his eye, whether they futter at
his window, or lie open before him In ua-
guarded exposure, are sacred to him. He
encrvaches ON no privacy of others, however
the sentry sleeps. Bolts and bars, locks and
keys, hedges and pickets, bonds and
securities, notices to tresspassers, are none
of them for him. He may be trusted himself
out of sight-near the thinnest partition
anywhere. He buys no Office, he sells none,
he intrigues for none Hewould rather fail of
its rights than win them thro' dishoner He
viii eat honest bread He insults no man.
He tramples on no sensitive feeling. Ifhe
have rebuke for another, he is straight
forward, open. manly, in short, whatever
hejudges honorable, he practices toward
every man. ri

OPENING OF THE CANAL OF SUEZ.-The
great work of the Suez Canal, undertaken and
carried out by the French, has been opened
for traffic, although not fully completed. On
the 9th ofApril NJ Lesseps, the contractor,
was metin the city of Alexandria, Egypt, by
one hundred and twenty gentlemen, repre-
senting the Chambers of Commerce and great
trade centers of the Oldand New Worlds
whowere delegated to witness the ceremo-
nial of uniting the Mediterranean with the
RedSea. He entertained them at grand
banquet, and the entire party set out the
next morning for the Isthmus of Suez; so that
we shall receive report of the event in day
or two, and hear in short time that the
canal, which is nov readily navigable by
tugs and barks of thirty tons, has been
deepened SO as to admit the largest sea-
going vessels; and if so, the route to India
around the Cape of Good Hope viii
generally be abandoned.
There is one view Of thissubject worthy of
consideration 1t is, the completion of
this canal will insure the supremacy of
France in the Mediterranean, and give an
easy access to the East Indies for her
powerful navy and immense military force
should rupture take place with England.
The press of the latter country has long
considered this result, and often expressed
its apprehension of its reality.

MISTAKES ON MATRIMoNY.

There are two mistakes about it. One is
that which DR.. Watts mas sanctioned in his
celebrated lyric, that souls were paired when
sent into this world, and somehow have got
mixed and jumbled up, scarcely any one
getting his true counterpart, or having any
chance of doing so; and that hence are the
Earrings of the married state. many people
lay off their miseries Upon this mystic fatal
ism, and think, if they had only their true
partners, they should have been supremely
happy Now the truth is, there are no
persons but those regenerated or becoming
so who can be brought into any intimate re-
lation, least, Of all the most intimate, with
out drawing out all the mutual points of
repulsion in their character. =
We are not sent into the world paired
and nicely fitted to each other without any
agency of our own; we are brought here
with selfish natures to be subdued. and an
gelic natures to be unfoldea from within
and this done through constant watchings,
self-denials, and efforts. Let two persons,
then, with hearts intensely natural be
brought together in the most sacred of all
relations. They think they are matched.
They are so. But it may be either for a
draw game at self or for walking Gequis
passabus, on the heavenly road IF they be-
gin in earnest life of regeneration, intern
al evils, as they come successively into the
consciousness, viii be denied, and have all
their jagged points fled off and finally, will
be cast out entirely and whereas there
union at first might have been only external,
at length it may become so perfect, that fol
aught we know, they may only appear in
the spiritual world, as Mr. T. L. Harris,
says, like one person instead of two. Al
any rate they may become together a com
plete humanity halved and split in twain.
Or on the other hand, suppose regener
ate life does not begin, but selfish anc
worldly living rather. Then the jagged

general JAcKsoN's MoTTo. Think
before you act, but when the time for action
comes, stop thinking" This is the true
doctrine Many men fail In life and 20 down
to the grave with hopes blasted and pros
poets Of happiness unrealized, because they
did not adopt and act upon this motto.
Nothing SO prepares man for action as
thought; but nothing so lIl6ts q man for
action in the course Of action. Better by far
adopt some course and pursue it energetic
ally, even though it may not be the best,
than to keep continually thinking without
action. SO ahead, ought to be printed in
every young mans hat, and read until it
becomes part of his nature, until he can
act upon his judgment, and not be turned
from his course by every wind Of interested
advice. In conclusion, we would say,

"AxE-GRNDINa. - This is "a term
borrowed from one of the most charming
stories told by Benjamin Franklin. A little
boy going to schoolwas accosted by man
carrying an axe. The man calls the boy all
kinds ofpretty and endearing names, and
induces him to enter yard where there is Q
grindstone. Now, my pretty little fellow
says he with the axe only turn that handle,
and you'll see something pretty. The boy
turns and turns and the man holds the axe
to the stone and pours water over it untilthe
axe is ground. Straightway he turns with
strident voice and fierce gesture on the boy:
You abandoned little miscreaEt, he cries,
what do you mean by playing truant from
school2 You deserved good fhrashing. Get
you gone sirrah, this instant' "And after
this" adds Franklin, aWhen anybody
aattered me | always thought he had an axe
to grind. "

Great God and has it come TO this
In this Thy "chosen land"
That Chime annointed's" stricken down
By an assassin's hand
Oh why not for his righteousness,
Stretch forth Thine arm to save
His country's saviour to the same,
And shield him from the grave
Well might the sun withdraw in shame,
And darkness reign supreme,
And Nature in her anguish shrek
Before the atrociOus scene:
'Tis but the crucifxion Ger;
He for his country stood,
But now, alas ! his only thought
is baptized in his blood.
just when the light begins to dawn,
When trsason's voice grows dumb,
When bastard criminals stand appalled,,
And traitor hordes suecumb,
He like the pioneer of old
The head of Israel's host,
When just in view of Canaan's land
Has yielded up the ghost.
But now, redeemed and disenthralled,
The Nation stands to-day,
Cured of the cankering-festering sore
The curse which on it lay,
And as Regeneration stream
Flowed from the Saviour's side
So now is FREEDoM's golden fruit
Sealed in a crimson tide.
'Tis we'll oh God, thy purpose good
Thy son for sinners died
Blest Saviour on the accursed tree
"Thy will be done" He cried.
So let rs bow to thy decree,
And with Thine Eternal Son,
Although deep sorrow rends our hearts,
Exclaim "TnY WILL BE DONE"

WgoM TO MARRY.-When q young
woman behaves to her parents in a manner
particularly afectionate and respectful, from
principle as well as nature, there Is nothing
good and gentle that may not be expected
from her, in whatever condition she may be
placed. Were to advise friend as to his
choice of a wife, my first counsel would be,
Look out for pious girl, distinguished fer
her attention and love to her parents The
fund of worth and affection indicated BY such
behavior, joined to the habits of duty and
consideration thereby contracted, being
transferred to the married state, will not fail.
as a rule, to render her amid, obliging, and
valuable companion for life."

But the sad fact is, that only one man for
every thousand reaches one hundred years.
Still it is encouraging to know, that the sci
ence of life, as revealed by the investigations
Of the Psychologists and the teachings Of ed
ucated medical men, is steadily extending
the period Of human existence
The distinguished historian Macaulay
states that, in l765, one person in twenty
died each year; in 1850, out Of forty persons,
only one died. Dupin says, that from l776
to lS43 the duration of life in France inereas-
ed fifty-two days annually, for in 1871 the
mortality was one in twenty mine; in lS43,
one in forty. The rich men in France live
forty two years on an average; the poor only
thirty. Those who are 'well-to-do-in-the-
world live about eleven years longer, than
those who have to work from day to day for
living. Remuneratiye labor and the diffu-
sion of the knowledge of the laws of life
among the masses, with Temperance and
thrift, are the great means of adding to hu-
man health and life; but the more important
ingredient -happiness-is only to be found
in daily loving, obeying, and serving Him
who giyeth us all things richly to enjoy. "

conflict, the end of slavery in our land, and the
freedom OF every hondman within its broad limits,
yet we have, with feelings Of deep regret and
gloomy forebodings. recently seen an attempt on
the part of certain politicians to introduce new
and dangerous question, to disturb our peace,
namely: the political equality of the negro with
the white man; now, therefore. be it
