EVENINGS AT HOME,

A writer in the Ladies' Repository tells the
following pleasant story. The husband, great
ly to tho annoyance Of his young wife, had
acquired the habit Of spending the evenings
away from home, and her earnest protest
against. the practice resulted in his agreement
to stay in every evening for week, and
allow her to be absent. The result is what
might be expected in every case where true
and strong affection exists between the huS-
band and wife. ...rr.
Monday evening came, and George Wilson
remained true 10 his promise His wife put
on her bonnet and shawl, and he said be
would remain and keep house.
"What will you do when | am gomez" EN-

The wife went out and the husband was
left alone. He had an interesting book, and
he began to read it. He read till eight o'clock,
and then he began to yawn, and looked fire.
quently at the clock. The book did not in

would come to a passage which be knew

turned as though he would read it aloud, but
there was no wife to hear 1t. At half past

A Hint or Two

The advice given by certin min
lister relative to the use Of woman's
name is so apropos to the times, that
wo reprint it: m1-
Never mako use Of an honest wo-
mans name in an improper place, at
an improper, time, or in any mixed
company. Never make assertions
about her that you think she herself
would blush to hear. When you meet
with men who do not scruple to make
use of woman's name in q reckless
and unprincipled manner, shun them,
for they are the very worst members
of the community-men lost to every
sense of honor, and every feeling of
humanity. Many good and worthy
woman's character has been forever
ruined, and her heart broken, BY o lie
manufactured by some villain, and re-
ported whore it should not have been
and in the presence of those whose,
little judgement could not better them
from circulating tho foul and brag'
ging report A SANDER is soon pro-
pasatcd, and the smallest thing dero.
gatory to woman's charcter will fly
on the wings of tho wind, and magni-
fy as it eirculates, until its monstrous
weight crushes the poor unconscious
victim. Respect the name of woman,
for your mother and your sisters are
women; and as You would have their
fair name untarnished, and their lives
unembittered by the slanderer'S biting
tongue, heed the i'll your own words
may bring upon the mother, the sister
or wife ofsome fellow creature.

What makes a Man.

A truthful soul, loving mind,
Full ofaffection for Its kind; "..
A spirit firm, erect, and free,
That never basely bends the knee;
That will not bear a feathers weight
OF slavery'S chain for small or great;
That truly speaks from God within;
That never makes a league with sin;
That snaps the fetters deSpots make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worships God, and him alone,
And bows no more than at his throne;
That trembles at no tyrants nod;
A soul that fears no one but God.
And thus can smile at curse or ban:
This 10 the soul that makes a Man.

Horrible Diseases.

How many thousands of persons, both male
and female, are there who are suffering out a
miserable existence from the effects of secret
indulgence, or from virus absorbed into the
system. Look at their pallid, emaciated
and disfgured faces, and their broken down
constitutions, disqualifying them from the
happiness of marriage or the enjoyment of
life In this horrid situation thousands suffer
until death closes the scene. Let parents,
guardians, friends, attend to those who are
suffering with any of those horrible, life de-
stroying maladies see that they are cared for
and cured before it is too late. Send them
Immediately to DR.. Gibbon. physician who
has made private diseases his especial study
for years, and who is certain to cure the
most inveterate cases without mercury or
any injurious drugs. 1t is important to those
afflicted, or to those who are interested in the
welfare of their friends, to be careful of the
many pretended doctors who infect all cities,
publishing their skill in curing all diseases
in few days. imposing upon the public by
using the names of eminent physicians from
Europe and other places. Be therefore care
full and make strict inquiry, or you may fall
into the hands of those charlatans.

and you will not fiud their Medical Institutes

is to make inquiry-it will cost you nothing

The old-Fashioned Fire.

You may talk of your comforts of home,
Your parlors, pianos. settees-
Of the fashions and baubles that foam,
To dazzle, enchant and to please;
Of the stove and its heat when it SHOWS.
And its pipe that you So much admire,
But for counting and toasting my toes,
Why, give me the old-fashioned fire.
When the Winter and tempests arrive,
And the gay Summer hours are gone;
When the cold, searching winds ever strive,
And through the drear woods ever moan ;
When the labor toiling shall cease,
And eve sweeps the strings of the Tyre;
And when friendship and love meet in peace
Then give me the old-fashioned fire.
All, how frigid and cherries to see,
(And no matter where we may rove,
If over continents ocean and sea,)
A fire boxed up in the stove;
And dangers which never prove dire;
But endurance and health it will kill,
You may talk of economy's skill,
So give US the old-fashioned fire.
How inviting and merry the sight
OF the old-fashioned chimney place,
When the fire. wood laughs and gives light,
And throws out its arms to embrace
1t is cheering and sweetto behold
The little ones, who we admire,
As they gaze and list well to tales told,
And sit by the old-fashioned fire.

tightening them several times, as the
crushed buffalo quivered, he unwound
one fold entirely. Thus he paused
The next iron-like band was the one
that held me prisoner; and as / felt it
little by little unclasping, my heart
stood still with hope and fear. Perhaps
upon being freed, the benumbed limb,
uncontrolled by my will, might fall from
the cushion-like bed in which it lay.
And such mishap might bring the
spare fold around my neck or chest, and
then farewell to the sources of the Nile.
Oh, how hardly, how desperately I
struggled to command myself? l glanc-
ed at Grant, and saw him handling his
rifle anxiously. l glanced at the ne
groes and saw them still gazing as tho
petri6ed with astonishment. l glanced
at the serpent's loathsome head, and
saw its bright, deadly eyes watching for
the least sign Of life in its prey. Now;
then, the reptile loosened its fold on my
arm hairs breadth, and now little
more, until half an inch separated my
arm and its mottled skin. Icould have
whipped out my hand, but dared not
take the risk. Atoms of time dragged
themselves into ages, and a minute
seemed eternity itself! The second fold
was removed entirely, and the next was
easing. Should I dash away now or
wait more favorable moment? I deci-
ded upon the former, and with light
ming speed I bounded away toward
Grant, the crack of whose piece I heard
at the instant. For the first time in
my life l was thoroughly overcome; and
sinking down l remained in semi-con.
scious state several hours.
When 1 recovered Grant and the
overjoyed negroes held me up, and
pointed out the boa, who was still
writhing in his death agonies. I shud-
dered as 1 looked upon the effects of his
tremendous dying strength. For yards
around where he lay, grass and bushes,
and saplings, and in fact everything,
except the more fully grown trees, were
cut clean off, as though they had been
trimmed with an immense scythe.
This monster, when measured, was
ffty-one feet two inches and a half in
extreme length, while round the thick
est portion of its body the girth was
nearly three feet, thus proving 1 believe
to be the largest serpent that was ever
heard of.
