70 A great man is affable in
his conversation, generous in his
temper, and immovable in what
he has materially resolved upon.
And as prosperity does not make
him naughty and imperious, SO
neither does adversity sink him
into meanness and detection; for
if ever he shows more spirit than
ordinary, it is when he is il-used,
and the world is frowning upon
him. In short he is equally re-
moved from the extremes of SER
Witty and pride, and scorns either
to trample on a worm, or cringe
to an emperor.

70 In small country town in
Hartfort, Conn.,, widower who
had acted the part of a brute and
tyrant to his wife, went shortly
after the demise of his spouse, to
pay his respects to a buxom wild
ow, who, like her suitor, had not
the best reputation for suavity of
manners and meekness of temper.
The following colloquy ensued:
"Wen, madam, / have come to
see youn
"Well, you may just clear out
again, for I'll have nothing to do
with you. Yo needn't think to get
me. You abused and whipped
your first wife, and l know what
kind Of a fellow you are. You
can bet high on that.m
ayes, 1 did, and if / had you
I'd make you toe the mark. I'd
give you id good thrashing
every time you deserved it, and ]
would not let you vote if every
woman in town ran to the polls
with a ballot in her hand.n
Strange as it may appear, this
very loving and romantic couple
were united in the '9holy bands ot
paddock three days afterward.
'tWas ever woman in this hnmor wood
Was ever woman in this humor won I.
We think not.

Keep Your Eye on Your
Neighbors.

ag Yes, keep your eye on your
neighbors-take care of them
don't let them stir without watch
ing. They may do something
wrong, if you do. To be sure you
never knew them to do anything
very bad, but it may be on your
account they have not. Perhaps,
if it had not been for your kind
care, they might have disgraced
themselves and families, a long
time ago. Don't relax any effort
to keep them where they ought to
be; never mind your own business,
that will take care of itself. There
is a man passing along-he is
looking over the fence-be suspi-
cious of him, perhaps he contem-
plates stealing something some of
these dark night; there's no know
ing what queer fancies he may
have got into his head. If you
see any symptoms ofany one pass
ing out of the path of duty, tell
every one else that you can see,
and be particular to see great
many. 1t is a good way to circu
late such things, and though il
may not benefit yourself, or any
one else particularly, it will be
something important about some
one else. Do keep something
going-Silence is a dreadful thing
though it is said there was silence
in Heaven for the space Of hal
an hour; don't let any such thing
occur on earth; it would be too
much Heaven for the inhabitants
of this mundane sphere. If, aftel
all your watchful care, you cam
see anything out of the way, will
any one, you may be sure it is no
because they have not done any
thing bad /; perhaps, in an ungard
ed moment, you lost sight of then
throw out hints they are no bet
ter than they ought to be-tha
they should not wonder if peopl
found out what they were after /;
while, and then they may not Cal
ry their heads so high. Keep
a going, and some one will tak'
the hint and begin to help yo1
after a while-then there will b
music, and everything will wor
to a charm. - 5-

When First we Love.
BY MRS. HOWE.

When first we love, you know we seldom
wed; ... =.. ... ....a a.-
Time rules us all. And life, indeed, is not
The thing we planned it out ere hope was
... dead; .."
And then we women cannot choose our lot.
Much must be borne which it is hard to bear,
, Much given way which it were sweet to
keep.
God help us all; who need, indeed, His care:
And yet know the Shepherd loves His
sheep.
My little boy begins to babble now
Upon my knee his earliest infant prayer;
He has his fathers eager eyes l Know,
And, they say, too, his mothers sunny hair.
But when he sleepsand smiles upon my knee,
And whenI feel his light breath come and
think of one, Heaven help and pity mel
Who loved me, and whom loved long ago;
Who might have been--ah, what l dare not
think. .. ...
We are all changed God judges for us best
God help us do our duty, and not shrink,
And trust in Heaven humbly for the rest.
But blame us women not, if some appear
Too cold at times; and some too gay and
light;
Some griefs gnaw deepi some woes are hard
| .... to bear .... ..H ..ef
Who knows the past And who can jndge
us right?
All, were we judged by what We might have
s been, s-.r.. s..
And not by what we are, too apt to fall
My little child-he sleeps and smiles between
These thoughts and me. In Heaven we
shall know all. .. -
