A True Wife.

She is not q true wife who sustains not her
husband in the day of his calamity who is
not, when the worlds great frown makes
the heart run chill with anguish, his guar
dian angel, growing brighter and more beau
tiful as misfortunes crowd along his path.
Then is the time for the trial of her great
ness then is the time for testing whether
the sweetness of her temper beams only
with transient light; or, like the steady
glory Of the morning star, shines out just
as brightly under the clouds. Has she then
smiles just as cheering ? Does she say "af-
Fiction cannot touch our purity, and should
never quench our love p Does she try by
happy inventions to lift from his spirit the
burden of thought There are wives, nay,
there are beings. who, when dark hours
come, fall TO repiDing and upbraldlng-ad
ding to outside anxiety the narrowing
scenes of domestic strife-as if all the blame
in the world would make one hair white or
black, or change the decree gone immuta-
bly, forth. Such know not that our dark
ness is heavens light our trials but step
in the golden ladder, by which, if we right
ly ascend, we may at last gain that eternal
light and breathe forever in its fullness and
beauty. " Is that all ?" and the gentle face
of the wife beamed with joy Her husband
has been on the verge of destruction-all
his earthly possession were gone, and he
feared the result of the knowledge, she had
been so tenderly cared for all her life. but
says Irving's beautiful story " friend ad
vised him not to give sleep to his eyes nor
sIumber to his oyelids until he had unfold
ed to her his hapless case" And that was
her answer. with the smile of an angel-"is
that oil feared by your sadness that it
was worse. Let these beautiful things be
taken-all this splendor, let it go, care
not for i'll care only for my husbands
love and confidence. You shall forget in
my affection that you were ever in prosperi
ty--only still love me, and | will aid you
to bear these reverses with cheerfulness." !"
Still love her! all must reverance, aye, liken
her to the very angels, for such woman is
n living representation of heaven.

A Gentleman.

One very frequently hears the remark
made, that such, and such a man can be
q gentleman when he pleases." Now when
our reader next hears this expression made
use OF, let him call to mind the following +:
He who can be gentleman when he
pleases,' never pleases TO be anything else.
circumstances may, and do, every day IN
life, throw men of cultivated minds and re-
fined habits into the society of their >fnteri-
ors but while, with the fact aud readiness
that is their especial prerogative, they make
themselves welcome among those with whom
they have o few, if any sympathies in COM
mon, yet never by any accident do they
derogate from that high standard which
makes them gentlemen.
"S So, on the other hand, the man of vul.
gar tastes and coarse propensities may
stimulate, if he be able, the outward habi.
tudes of society, speaking with practiced
information, and bowing with we'll studied
grace; yet he is no more gentleman in his
Thought and feeling, than is the tinseled ac-
tor who struts the boards the monarch his
costume would bespeak him. This being
the gentleman when he likes is but the
mere performances of the character. 1t has
all the swell Of the stage and the footlights
about it, and never can for o moment be
mistaken by one who knows the world. A
cloak too large cannot be gracefully worr
by small man."

HonafnI !

Nothing is more charming than hope
ful spirit one that looks persistently and
patiently upon the bright side. Such spir-
it had little orphan boy who was bound
out for eleven years He was terribly
homesick the day heightened out until it
did seem as if it would have no end, but he
would not cry. SO he trudged hither and
thither, picking up chips, bringing in wood
running of errands, any thing that would
keep his mind off his troubles until tho
woman of the house saw by the expression
of his face that he was making a great
effort to keep up, and said kindly.
| guess you'll get sick of US afore the
times out. Little hoWesick aready, amt
ye."
o, no, responded the little hero, " I've
stood it one day, and | hain't got but ten
years and 'leven months and three weeks
and six days longer TO stay, and ] guess /
can stand that, too" s1i

GROWING OLD.

Touch us, oh Time with light hand as you pass.

Tread on our hearts, too, with reverent care sr
Crush not the flowers of life blooming there
Furrow our foreheads with care if you will M
But let youth linger within hearts still gl1
Mid our dark tTesses are ibres of gray 3
Silent reminders of lifcs heeting day !; f f
And when we turn to the shadowy past
On its bright affairs lay ashes and dust
III It's fair idols are marked with decay fBoi
All its sweet pictures are faded away. s 4i. r.,
Sadly We look for tho friends of the past ~ II,
They OF strong heart and the beautiful trust
Some we find sleeping beneath sculptured stone;
Some toiling weafilly onward alone; fJ tsG
Some thro' ambition grown heartless and cold
But one and all, save the dead growing old
'Oft we grow weary in watching in vain
Ger hopes that always but shadows remain
Weary of counting the joys that have died.
Weary of laying bright visions aside
Weary of taking but dross for pure gold ,t
weary, SO weary, of hearts growing old,
Chase from us, Time. all shadowy fears
Lift from our lives the slow burden of years
Shadow our foreheads and sprinkle our hair, ..f.
But, oh shield our hearts from the furrows of care
Let not the heart grow selfish or cold
And we shall no longer fear to grow old
