HINTS TO HUsBASDs.-Do not jest with your
wife upon a subject in which there is danger of
wounding her feelings. Remember that she
treasures every word you utter, though you may
never think of them again. Do not speak Of
some virtue in another mans wife to remind
your own of fault. Do not reproach your wife
with a personal defect for if she has sensbility
you iuhct a wound difficult to heal. Do not
treat your wife with uattention in company it
touches her pride, and she will not respect Won
more, or love you any the better for it, Do not
upbrad your wife in the presence of third per-
son The sense of disregard for feeling will pre-.
vent her from acknowledging her fault. Do not
entertain your wife With praising the beauty and
| accomplishments of other women. Do not, too
often, invite your friends out to ride and leave
your wife at home. She might suspect that you
esteem other more companonabe than herself
If you have a pleasant home and a cheerful wife,
pass your evenings under your roof. Do not be
stern and silent in your own house, and remark
able for your society elsewhere. Remember that
your wife has as much need of recreation as YOUR
self, and devote portion, at least, of your leis-
ure hours to such society and amusemeuts as she
may join. By so doing, you will secure and 10,
crease her affection. Do not, by being too exact
in pecuniary matters, make your wife feel her
dependence on your bounty. 1t tends to lessen
her dignity of character, and does not increase
her esteem for you. If she is a sensible woman
she would be acquainted with your business, and
know your income, that she may regulate her
household accordingly. Be it remembered that
pecuniary affairs cause more difficulties than any
ooer cause. Your wife has an equl right with
yourself to all you possess in the world there.
fore she should be made acquainted with that
which is of great Importance to both.

BEAUTIFUL AND TRUE.-In an article in Frazer
Magazine this brief but beautiful extract occurs:
Education does not commence with the alpha
bet. 1t begins with a mothers look-with a
fathers smile of appreciation or sign of reproof
with a sisters gentle pressure of the hand, or
a brothers noble act of forbearance-with a
birds nest admired and not touched-with
creeping ants and almost impossible emmets-
with humming bees and great behives-with
pleasant walks and shady lanes, and with
thoughts directed in sweet and kindly tones and
words to mature to acts of benevolence; to deeds
of virtue, and to the source of all good-to God
himself"

How. oId A. Thonp

"I1ow old art thou r'-Man measureth time
By things that fall away and die;
By sickled fields Of autumn prime,
Summers last bloom, or winters sky.
Age, from its span, lite gliding takes,
The cheek forgets its roseate glow,
The form its grace, the hair its hue,
The brow lis beauty-lst it go.
But the true heart can ne'sr grow old
Its eyes are bright when youth has fed;
Its ear is never dull to sound;
Its lips can speak though, speech be dead.
By prayer, by aims, by written pages,
By planting words Of holy trust,
Il quickeneth love from age to age,
II liveth when the frame is dust.
So count thou not thy age by tears,
Or smiles OF fortuue's ickle ray,
Nor say how old thou art in years
0fwaste, and folly, and decay.
But ever with a steadfast eye
On Him from whom thy life proceeds,
Notch thou its seasons on thy soul,
And tell its calender by deeds.

Idleness.

Idleness is the nurse of all vices. II moves so
slowly that they all evertake it. The Germans
and Italians say, proverbially, that "Idleness is
the DEVILS pillow" Some affect to excuse th S
hydra headed habit by asking what harm can a
person do when be does nothing? The reply
is ready and plain. He who is passive 10 allow.
ing decay is himself destroyer. While stand
ing still and refusing to help, he obstructs the
progress of others. We are told in holy writ;
"By much slothfulness the building decayeth
aud through idleness of the hands the house
dropeth through" And again is it said: al
went to the field of the slothful and by the man
void of understanding, and lol it was overgrown
with thorns and Kettles which covered the face
thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken
down" The words of Cato, the elder, ere in
the proverb, that "he who does nothing learns
to do evil.". Idleness has been described to be
a moral leprosy, which soon eats its way into
the heart and corrodes our happiness, while it
undermiues our health. Idleness is costly,
without being a luxury. MontaiGue always
would reckon the years account of his expenses
with the following entry: "Item-for my abom-
Unable habit of idleness a thousand livres." We
toll for leisure only to discover, when we have
succeeded in our object, that leisure is a great
evil. How quickly would the working class be
reconciled to what they may call hardships of
compulsory idleness, They would quickly find
that it is much better to wear out than to rust
out The idle man is at mercy of ell vices. The
working man on the contrary, fnds a safeguard
in his occupation, which leaves no time for temp
tations nor desire to yield to them. 1t was well
said, by the oldest of the Greek poets, that "the
laborer is the sentinel of vrlle."

| Their animal passions are not restrained nv
high moral sentiments, or those tender Affections
OF divine inspiration, like the white mans and
like the monkey tribe. their lecherous propensi
ties are inordinate, and, judging from the news
paper accounts it is not safe, since their emau,
eipation, for white ladies, whose charms are
specially fascinating to them, TO visit lonely
places, either in cities, towns or country for the
fear Of being waylaid aud having their persons
violated. As a proof that their lustful passions
are merely animal, during the massacre at st.
Domingo they violated the persons OF white fe>
males, and, Immediately after satisfying their
brutal lusts, they seized their knives aud delb,
erately cut their throats.
10 their own country they have no general
government, but are divided into tribes, which
are continually warring with each other and,
whenever they mix with other races, they become
jealous of caste.
In st. Domingo they rebelled against the gov.
ernment Of the white man, aud massacred ali the
white Inhabitants of every age and sex, and
Touissant l., Outre, who headed the rebellion,
carried in public procession the head of white
infant child on the point Of his spear as trophy
OF bis inhuman cruelty and yet, Mr.. Wendell
Phillips, the great apostle of miscegenation, sta
ted in a lecture in the Smithsonian Institute. in
Washington City-which city was named in hon
or OF tue great aud good WashingtOn-that this
negro (Touissant L 'Outre) was a greater man
than either Bonaparte, Wellington, or our own
Washington
While it is the desire of the negro to enforce
negro equality-social as wall as political-its
enforcement would be fatal to the interests of
the white man to recognize either, as it would
inevitably culminate in a mixture of races as
has been the case in other countries aud the
white man, ennobled by his Creator above all
other races, and who ranks in intelligence next
to his God, and who is now approaching the zer
NTH of the progressive age of Improvement in
the arts and sciences would be dragged from his
high position to the degrading level of race
who has scarce emerged beyond the horizon of
heathenism, and who can never overtake the
white man in his march of improvement, or rise
to the lofty standard of his expanded inteectu-
ality and thus would bequeath the barren and
unjust legacy of the crumbling ruias of bis god,
like achievements to a defrauded posterity.-

The effect of climate cannot govern the com
plexion and change white to black or black to
white. Messrs. Park, Baker, Speke, Grant, Liy-
iugstone and DuChaillu were long time in AT.
rica as explorers, and returned to their native
northern climate without any change of complex
ion and, on the other hand, the negroes, who
have been in this country over two hundred
years, are as black now as when the first cargo
of them landed on our shores and we say,
moreover that if climate controls the complex
ion, everybody in the same climate would be Of
the same complexion. From the result of seien-
ti6e investigation, it has been ascertained that
there is a stratum of black mucous matter un>
deryiug the scarf skin of the negro, called by
anatomists rete mueosnm, which gives to his skin
its color, to shield him from the scorching rays
Of the sun n his native hot climate, and that his
color is therefore coeval with his creation. We

A MINERS LUcK.-The St. Paul Press notices
the arrival in that city of Mr. J. B. Cetcbel, for
IL years resident of St. Cloud, and who has
been in the gold fields of Montana for two years
past Up to last September he had not made a
dollar. Becoming discouraged finally, he deci>
ded to work one more day and if as unsuccessful
as usual, start for home. In the afternoon he
struck what miners call pocket, which is a small
cavity in rock where the metal finds a solid
base to check its downward flow. Here to his
utter astonishment, he found large quantity of
the pure metal deposited in "chunks" There
was scarcely S5 worth Of dust in the whole pock.
ct, but the quantity of the pure metal was very
large. He Immediately removed all the gold to
safe quarters aud continued the examination.
Seeing no further evidence of gold he pulled up
stakes and started home, coming by way Of the
Missouri River. He expressed the main bulk Of
his gold to the mint at Philadelphia, to have it
assayed and coined. They have notified him
that it will yield him 500, OOO He has some
handsome specimens with him. One of them
weighs l3 ozs., and is almost pure gold. The
chunk alone is worth $24O. 1t is rough, ir-
regular formed fragment, and looks as though
it had been in a molten state and had run into a
fssure and then cooled.
