4, A LITERAL MAN,

One of our most eminent Western advo-
Gates met with the following perplexing
adventure in his early practice in Wis
consina si as,la ias5ias s7= ss
A stranger came into his Office and ab-
ruptly informed him that his wife had
left him, and wished to have her re-
plevieds at once Knowlton told him that
remedy would mot meet his case exactly,
and went on to inform him that if he
would wait until the desertion had con-
tinued a year, he could obtain divorce.
The stranger said that he did not know as
he wanted a; divorce.sa What he most
feared was that his wife would run him
in debt all over the country. ssi.as 1
"In that case" said Knowlton, "you
had better post her" M 4 lssa
What his client understood him to
mean by posting remains mystery to
this day He said, in meditative way,
that he didn't know where she had gone,
and besides that, she was fully as strong
as he was. and he didn't believe he could
post her, even if he knew where to find
her. saAG ~
Knowlton fastened to inform him that
by posting his wife he meant putting a
note in the newspaper, saying: nWhereas,
my wife, Ellen, has left my bed and board
without any just S e sa
tsBut that amt true," interrupted the
client, ssthat amt true. She didn't
leave my bed. She took it away with
her."

THE ART OF NOT HEARING

The art Of not hearing is fully as inn
portant to domestic happiness as a cult
waited ear, for which so much money and
time is expended There are so many
things which it is painful to hear, many
Of which if heard will disturb the
temper, and detract from contentment
and happiness, that every one should be
educated to take in or shut out sounds at
will.
If a man falls into violent passion
and calls me all manner of names, the
first word shuts my ears, and I hear no
more. II in my quiet voyage of life I
am caught in one Of those domestic
whirlwinds Of scolding, I shut nv eyes
as sailor would furl his sails, and. max
ing.all tight, scud before the gale. ia
hot and restless man begins to infamee nv
feelings, consider what mischief these
sparks might do in the magazine below
where my temper is kept, and instantly
close the door,
Does gadding, misunderstanding fel-
low begin to inform me what people are
saying about me, down drops the portcul-
lis of my ear, and he cannot get in any
further. Some people feel very anxious
to hear everything that will vex or annoy
them. If it is limited that any one has
spoken of them, they set about searching
aad finding it out. If all the petty
things said of one, by Needless or i'll
natured idlers, were to be brought home
to him, he would become mere walking
pin cushion, stuck full of sharp remarks,
| should as soon thank man for empty
ing on my bed bushel of nettles, or set
ting loose swarm of mosquitoes ia my
chamber, or raising pungent dust in my
house generally, as to bring upon me all
the tattle of spiteful people, IF you
would be happy when among good men,
open your ears; when among bad, shut
them. 1t is not worth your while to
hear what your servants say when they
are angry; what your children say after
they have slammed the door; what a
beggar says whose petition you have re-
jected; what your neighbors say about
your children; what your rivals say about
your business or dress. ...s
[ have noticed that wellbred woman
never hears an impertinent or vulgar re-
mark. A kind of discreet deafness
saves one from many insults, from much
blame, from not little apparent conniv-
ance in dishonorable conversation.

GREATNEss-A Corsican, the leader
of gang of banditti, who had been fa-
nous for his exploits, was at length taken
and committed to the care of soldier,
from whom he contrived to escape. The
soldier was tried, and condemned to death.
At the place of execution, a man coming
up to the commanding officer, said, "Sir,
l am a. stranger to you, but you shall
soon know who am; I bave heard that
one of your soldiers is to die for having
suffered a. prisoner to escape; he was not
at all to blame; besides, the prisoner shall
be restored to you. Behold him here
am the man. / cannot bear that an
innocent man should be punished for me,
and come to die myself" "No," cried
the French officer, who felt as he ought
the sublimity of the action, sthou shalt
not die, and the soldier shall be set at
liberty. Endeavor to reap the fruits Of
generosity thou deservest and be hence
forth an honest man"

" The Columbus (Ohio) Journal
tells the following of General Sherman:
At one ofthe Connecticut towns, where
he was brought out on the platform, to be
seen by his fellow citizens, just before the
train left, he observed tall, awkward
looking fellow approaching the car, elbow
ing the crowd in the most excited man
ner, and believing "Sherman! Sherman,
don'tyou know me?" The General init.
mated that he did not, at the moment,
recognize his questioner as familiar
countenance.a Don't you remember down
In Georgia, stopping one day on the
march where there was a crowd of fellows
looking on at a chicken fght?' The
General laughed. Yes, he did remem,

THE DEACoN's RULE.

|
Thirty five years ago, or more, young
man, then pastor of rural church in the
State of New York, was driving through
the parish villagein his buggy, having
at his side the senior deacon Ia very
portly, heavy, good old gentleman, known
as par ercellenee as ssthe Squire" He
was a very prudent man, rather timid and
careful of his life and limbs, all of which
we're of signal benefit to ssthe church and
the society" Having ascended slight
elevation in the road, the deacon OBJ
served, about a hundred yards ahead,
stretched on his sbroadside, right across
the narrow wagon-track, basking in a
mud puddle, huge, fat, lazy hog, weigh
ing probably more than three hundred
pounds. ssN .4sl
clock there, elder" said the deacon,
nervously, sssee that old hog across the
road. Turn out"
81 see, SIR said the elder. "I can't
turn out"
"But you must, or we shall be turned
over"
"Can't do it, sir. I have the right to
the road. The hog must give way"
Pony trotted on. They drew nigh the
hog. e
ssI tell you" said the deacon, now ner-
vously excited, "turn out, or we are
gone"
-"Never fear, sir, the hog must clear

could arouse the attention of the sleepy
beast he would at once rise aud clear the
track. But no, his hogship just raised
his head, gave slight glance at the little
buggy, and with short grunt laid it
down in the mud. The end was, the
elder had to make a short turn out and
take circuit round, while the hog re-
mained s.master of the situation" The
elder having regained the track and the
squire his composure, (the driver rather
crestfallen) nElder," said the deacon,
"when am on the road land he drove
much) never stop to contend with hog.
[ think it is better to turn out"
The deacon ended, and the elder sat
for some minutes, silently revolving in
his mind the deacon's rule about hogs,
aud its obvious moral And the rule,
never to stand in the road to contend
with hog" has been one Of the most
useful rules Of his life.

SAYING.

A man is very apt to deceive himself
into the idea that he cannot save, and it
is Of mouse attempting it. He convinces
himself that his income is little enough
for present necessities, and puts off the
hope of accumulating, if he forms it at
ALL to the happy period when he shall be
in better circumstances; but when they
perhaps improve, his wants have extend
ed as much, and still the time for saving
is far ahead. Thus he goes on and on,
resolving and re-resolying, until at last
he is surprised by some sudden calamity,
which deprives him even of his ordinary
wages, or by death, which cruelty cuts
him off in the very midst of the best in
tentions in the world. Did any man, we
would ask, experiences falling off in his
income even so much as dollar in a
week /? Many will answer they have.
Did they continue to live at reduced
rate They reply, we did SO, we were
compelled to do it. Very well; and pray
what is the difference between being COM
PEELED to live dollar week cheaper,
and compelling yourself to do it? Or,
suppose stationary wages and rising
produce market, did you not find that,
although bread rose a penny a loaf and
other provisions in proportion, you still
continued to make ycur income procure
something like the usual exhibition of
victuaIs? You answer yes. And where
l would ask, is the difference between
spending small extra sum upon certain
articles of food, and laying it by for ac-
cumulation, supposing it not to be SO
needed 1t is clear that if you had the
fortitude and strength Of character to
make the savings as much matter Of
compulsion as the other circumstances
are, you would save. You have, there
fore, no excuse to present for not saving
it, except that you are too weak minded
to abstain from using money that is in
your power.
