| History of England, " which he is now
writing, gives this brief but expressive
summary Of christian faith "The God
made known in the gospel demanded Of
His children only the sacrifice Of their
wills, and for each act a. love and self
forge.fulness, He bestowed on them the
peace Of mind that passeth understand

" Only the sacrifice Of their Wills ~
Here is the key to successful family gov
ernment, that makes happy homes and
trains the young to all usefulness. The
mother should know how to unite this
beneficial justice in subduing the will of
her child to her word, with the tender
ness and love that make the sunshine of
household peace.
Women, so amiable in themselves, are
never so amiable as when they are use
full and as for beauty, though men may
fall in love with girls at play, there is
nothing to make them stand to their
love, like seeing them at work. Goblet.
They course the glass, and let is take no rest
They pass, and spy who gazeLh al their face;
They darkly ask whose beauty seemeth best
They bark and mark who marketh most their
They stay their steps, and stalk stately PACE
They jealous are OF every sight they see
Be gay and good humored, complying and
kind
Turn the chief OF your care from your face 10
your mind;
'Tis thus that wife may her conquest improve

The christian religion alone contem-
plates the conjugal union in the order of
nature. 1t is the only religion which
presents woman to man as a companion !;
every other abandons her to him as q
slave.-,&. Pierre.
She who neer answers till a husband eools,
or, II she rules him, never shows she rules
Charms by accepting, by submitting sWays,
Yet has her humor most when she obeys.

Man without woman's beggar,
suppose the whole world ne possessed;
And the besFar that's got good woman,
With more than the world he is blessed.

Marriage is the mother of the world,
and preserves Kingdoms, and fills cities,
and churches, and heaven itself. Cell
bacy, like the fly in the heart Of an apple,
dwells in perpetual sweetness, but sits
alone, and is confined and dies in singu-
larity; but marriage, like the useful bee,
builds house, and gathers sweetness
from every flower, and labors and unites
into societies and republics, and sends
out armies, and feeds the world with del
icaeies, and keeps order, and promotes
the interest of mankind, and is that state
of good things to which God hath de-
signed the present constitution of the
world Jeremy Taylor. ..-
/ might have been a common woman now,
And happier, less known, and less left alone,
Perhars better woman after all
With chu by children hanging round my neck,

That bear such fruit are proud to stoOp with it.

Liking is not always the child of
beauty; but whatsoever is liked, to the
liker is Sydney.
A clear reputation must be desirable 10
every honorable mind. Lucretia died to
maintain hers but there the sense of re-
putation was stronger than the sense of
honor A truly noble heart would have
the death that Tarquin threa-
tened; unsullied purity with q slandered
name before Contamination with the
power OF accusation and revenge.-Aiss
Porter.

not mine !-iSgdHey.
The butterfly may hover
Where gold-eyed daises grow,
And round ana round the clover
The drunken bee may go,
But the strong winged biI files over
And leaves them there below.-R. Weeks
Some men are magnificent In their
vices. Contrast the smours of Henry
sth and Charles 2d,-the Stuart had mis-
tresses the Tudor kept wives.-C Lamb.
What one values above every other
in q companion, man or
woman, is amiableness, that is to say,
evenness Of temper, and the willingness
to please and be pleased, without egotism
and without exactlon. There is nothing
capable of supplying its place.-Leigh

the elevation and morsl culture of Chris
