realm in which he would naturally seek
for his future. Peace would never satisfy
a nature like that: It would be wretehed
with the sights of love and kindness all
around it. It would pine for other scenes,
where it might disport itself ID a pande-
monian of its own creation. As it would
leave no benevolent deeds behind to bold
others bya grateful affection through life
to its memory. so it would be lost in any
sphere where the conception of those
deeds furnished future occupation for
souls that felt their blessings. Would
that we might be supplied with assur-
ances that the final ending Of such a
career on earth, in places that exercises
a powerful influence for the good or ill Of
millions, was certain to be followed by the
decay and disruption of the party whose
active principles be has so largely fur
nished and kept alive. The best we can
wish his former colleagues is that they
may studiously shun his most unenviable
renown, and labor with all their might to
repair the wrongs of his public career

" Teach the Women to Save : !,

There's the secret. A saving woman
at the head of a family is the very best
savings bank ever yet establishd-one
that receives deposit daily and hourly

if .sthe women" imbibe it once, they
would cultivate and adhere to it; and
thus many when they are not aware of it.
would be staying the foundation for COM
petence, security in stormy time, and a
shelter in rainy day. The woman who
sees to her own house, has a large field to
save in; and the best way to make her
comprehend it. is for her to keep an ac-
count current of expenses. Probably not
one wife in ten has an idea Of how much
are the expenditures of herself or family
Where from one to two thousand dollars
are expended annually. there is,a chance
to save something;<if the attempt is only
made. Let the housewife take the idea.
act upon it, and strive over it, and she
will save many. dollars. perhaps hundreds,
where before she thought it impossible.
This is a duty, not a prompting Of avar-
ice-a moral obligation that rests upon
/ all-upon ;"the women" as well as the
men; but it is duty, we are sorry to
say, that is cultivated very little, even
among those who preach the most, and
regard themselves as examples in most
matters. >ss'

evening are all composed Of tenders anl

GIVING JOY TO CHILD. Blessed be
the hand that prepares pleasure for a
child, for there is no saying when and
where it may again bloom forth. Does
not most everybody remember some kind
hearted man who showed him a kindness
in the dulcet days Of his childhood The
mriter of this recollects himself as bare
footed lad, standing at the fence Of mean
little garden in his native village. while,
with longing eyes. be gazed on the flow
ers that were blooming there quietly in
Che brightness Of a summer morning.
The possessor came forth from his little
cottage; he was a woodcutter by trade,
and spent the whole week at work in the
woods. He had come in the garden to
gather q flower to stick into his coat when
he went to church. He saw the boy. and
breaking of the most beautiful of his car
nation-it was streaked with red and
White-he gave it to him. Neither the
giver nor receiver spoke word. and with
bonding steps the boy ran home and
now here, at vast distance from that
,home, after so many events of 80 many
years. the feelings of gratitude which
sgitated the breast of that boy express
themselves on paper. The earnation has
long since withered, but now it blooms

Sterling Advice,

A lady makes some sensible sugges.
tions in London journal on the subject
of Marriage or Celibacy, few of which
we annex, and say that there is a great
deal of truth in them: -
"When girl marries. she ought, to a
certain extent, to give up her acquain-
tances, aud consider the company Of her
husband the best company she can have.
The young wife must learn cooking care
fully, if she does not already have a
knowledge of it. There are many excel
lent cookery books, but she must not fol-
low them implicitly.
my own plan, for some time after I
was married, was to take some dish and
prepare it once according to the receipt
given, and note carefully what ingred-
tents could be dispensed with. The Sc
cond time I generally managed it at halt
the expense. A useful plan is to keep a
blank book in the kitchen table drawer,
and whenever deviation from the ortho-
dox cookery book is made, to put it down.
Do not wait till you have washed your
hands; let the book be. 6nger-marked
rather than lose an idea. go -,

what fund of practical information it
will be for them. To great extent the
celibacy of our young men is owing to the
way in which the girls are brought up.
Through mistaken kindness mothers often
do themselves what they ought to make
their daughters do. Let them teach
them housekeeping. on fixed methodi-
cal plan, and they will then learn their
history, French and music, all the better.
"It is natural and rig ght that a mother
should wish to see her daughters we'll ledu-
Gated, and even highly accomplished, and
it is mistake that good and careful edu-
cation would unfit a girl for the homely
duties Of cooking, busting, &c. On the
contrary: those duties would be better
performed, and if mothers wonld at the
same time that they seek talented instruc-
tors for their daughters. impart to them
some of their own culinary talent, there
would be more good wives and more mar
riages. e5' 8: sE- i. 81 ~
'.,Little girls should be taught, as early
as possible, to perform simple household
duties neatly, and as they grow older let
them become gradually acquainted with
the theory of housekeeping in, such man
ner that when they are married they will
be able to adapt themselves to their cir
cumstances, and useful as we'll as pleasing
companions to their husbands I.s ee

After our weeping, sweet repose.
After the burden, the blissful need;
After the fight, the downy nest;

ANGEL BRIDE.

do not seek an angel bride
I'd rather she were human
With foibles if you like-but still
A fond, true-hearted woman.
An angel wife would be so good,
:; So high and far above me;
So little like me, do you see
She'd hardly dc:Gn tl Inxe n,c------
She'd be so often way up stairs
She'd think my down stairs gloomy.
And such sad catastrophe
I'm sure would quite undo me.
I'd want to kiss her now and then,
& To pet and maybe tease her,
But if served an angel so
do not think 'twould please her.
I'd be afraid to speak, almost,
For fear, some sunny morning,
She'd spread her wings and fly away
Without any word of warning.
These angels are SO good, you see!
That once they pass sentence
There's not the least occasion left
For yowing repentance.
I'd like to step inside my door
AS if l made it brighter.
Nor passing through-and found one there
Who would not let me slight her.
I'd like to take her in my arms
And frolic with her maybe,
If pleasant, dance her on my knee
As she would dance the baby.
Or, seated in my chair atnight Z:
: - With her soft arms around me,
J I'd set her singing-till the air
s.' Should fill with visions round me.
Till all the sweet fond fancies past
Should bloom with tenfold glory,
:And join the fairies of the now
tell true loves story. III II
While my hearts full depths should thinl
As when her song is DER,
! She turns for one sweet kiss that tells
What words can ne'r discover. ~
