Husbands and Wives.

In his chapter on the relations Of husbands
and wives, Mr.. Alger has passage so sdmi-
rable, and introduces also a quotation from
Chateaubriand, which has always seemed to
us so unrivalled for truthfuness that we
qote few passages
Let husband be the true and pure guard
ian of his family, laboring always to adorl
himself with the godlike gems of wisdom, vir-
tue and honor let him bear himself in rela-
ton to his wife with gracious kindness toward
her faults, with grateful recognition of her
merits, with steady sympathy for her trials
with hearty aid for her better aspirations, and
she must be a vile stock if she does not revere
him and minister unto him with all the graces
and sweetness of her nature
Let a wife in her whole intercourse with
her husband, try the efficacy of gentleness
purity, sincerity, scrupulous truth, meek and
patient Difference, and if he is not a brute h'
cannot help respecting her and treating hel
kindly and in nearly all instances he will
end by loving her and living happily with
her.
But if he is vulgar and vicious, despotie
reckless, so as to have no devotion for the
august prizes and incorruptible pleasures oi
existence if she is an unappeasable terma
giant, or a petty worrier, so taken up with
trifing annoyances that wherever she looks
" the blue rotunda of the universe sinks into
house-wifery room !" If the presence oi
each acts as a morbid irritant on the nerves
of the other, to the destruction Of comfort anC
the lowering of self-respect, and the draining
away of peace and strength, their companion
ship must infallibly be a companionship IL
wretchedness and loss.
| The banes Of domestic life are littleness
falsity, vulgarty, harshness, scolding vocif
Grafton, and incessant issuing Of superhuoul
prohibitions and orders, which are regarded
as impertinent nterferences with the genera
liberty and repose, and are provocative o.
ranking or exploding resentments. Th'
blessed antidotes that sweeten and enrich do
nestle life are refinement, high aims, grea
interests, soft voices, quiet and gentle man
ners, magnaminous tempers, forbearanc'
from all unnecessary commands or dictaton
and general allowances Of mutual freedom
Love makes obedience lighter than liberty
Man wears a noble allegiance, not as collar
but az a garland. The Graees are never 81
lovely as when seen waiting on the virtues
and where they thus dwell together, the.

No affection, save friendship, has any sur
eternity in it. Friendship ought, therefore
always to be cultivated in love itself, as it
only certain guard and preseryative, not les
than as the only sufficient substitute in its alb

A Cheerful Heart.

once heard young lady say to an indi-
yidual: Your countenance to me is like
the rising sun; for it always gladdens me
with cheerful look" A merry or cheerful
countcnance was always one of the things
which Jeremy Taylor said his enemies or
prosecutors could not take from him. There
are some persons who spend their lives in this
world as they would spend their lives if shut
up in dungeon. Every thing is made
gloomy and forbidding. They go mourning
and complaining from day to day that they
have so little. and are constantly anxious lest
what little they have will escape out of their
hands. They look always upon the dark side,
and can never enjoy the good that is present
for the evil that is to come. That is no re-
ligion. Religion maketh the heart cheerful ;
and when its large and benevolent principles
are exercised, men will be happy in spite of
themselves. The industrious bee does not
complain that there are so many poisonous
flowers and thorny branches in his road, but
buzzes on, selecting the honey where. he can
find it, and passes quietly by the place where
it is not.-Dr. Deioey

pray you, do not let the desire to hand down
family names, lead you to bestow upon your
boy an appellation that will be n torment to
him all his days. Trained as you win train
him, no regard for his ancestors win be sufi-
cient to deafen his ear to the uncouthness Of
such name. Obadiah and Jedediah, and
the other iahs, have done yeQman's service.
Let them rest now in the tomb Of the Cap
ulets. Neither need you in stunning Scylis
fall into Charybdis You need not call him
Clarence Augustus, nor Roderick Angelo
Fitzgerald Napoleon Bonaparte, nor George
Washington. But give your son a good,
plain, honest name one that will not be sug-
eestive of dandyism and romance on one hand,
nor overshadow him with its own greatness on
the other name that will fall smoothly
from your lips now, aud from the lips of
later love by-and-by a name that is tender
enough for baby, and manly enough for
man. Call him John Hoasehold

Billy thrust the books George had been wish
ing for into his hands; and before he could
fairly comprehend what it all meant, Billy
was almost out Of sight.
Billy told his father how he had spent his
dollar DO you think | spent II ioolishly ~

sons generosity and kindness ." IL you al

The Red Line.

A beautiful block of marble was brought,
some years ago, all the way from Paris, for
the great sculptor, Canova, to fashion out a
statue of the great Napoleon. 1t was very
pure and beautiful, and Canoya was proud of
having such splendid block of marble to
work upon. And he thought OF how he would
fashion that rough-hewn block into an elegant
and graceful figure and how it would stand
in the Kings palace, and be admired by thous.
ands and thousands. But Just when he was
about to commence working upon it his eye
discovered a tiny red line running down on,
of its sides. 1t was very little one, and
many people would have thought nothing
about it; but Canova said" can not work
upon this ii has a flaw. II is not perfectly
pure and white. will not lay my chisel
upon it," And he did not.
So, dear children, will il be with your souls
If there is on them the smallest taint of sir
when you die. God will say" | can not re-
ceiye this soul 1t is not perfectly pure
No, there must not be the faintest red line-
but they must be perfectly pure and white
and there is only one way by which they be
come 50, and that is by their being washed il
the blood of Jesus.

An Unspotted Character.

Money is good thing especially in these
hard times, but there is something thousand
fold more valuable. 1t is Characteristic
consciousness of pure and honorable life.
This il should be mans first aim to preserve
at any cost. In times Of commercial distress,
while some are proved and found wanting,
others come forth tried as by fire. Here and
there one comes out of the furnace far more
Of man than before. Amid the wreck OF
his fortune he stands erect--a noblo specimen
Of true manhood. We have occasionally
witnessed an example of courage in such a
crisis, of moral intrepidity, that deserved all
honor. Let II be the aim Of every business
man, above all things else, to keep this purity
sustained. This is the best possession--this
is a capital which can never be taken from
him-this is the richest inheritance which he
can leave TO his children.

How often IN the strange old days
Before the wars sharp summons blew,
We strolled through all these woodland ways,
while loud the bluebird sang and few
How gayly OF thousand things
We talked and rustllng through the leaves,
We sang the songs Of other springs,
And dreamed the dreams Of summer ewes
To this bold height our footsteps came
Our eyes bcheld that distant sea
To-day sit and call his name
And know he will not answer
friend, beyond this voice Of mine,
Beyond these eyes this bnnled hand,
Immortal in youth divine,
1 zee thy gracious figure stand
We do not count each other lost
Divided though our ways may be
Two ships by different hreeies tost,
Stiil sailing the familiar sea.
No cloud Of death can long obscure,
Nor touch with any doubt or fear,
The love that keeps the old faith pure,
Conteutcd whether there or here.
