CONJUGAL FRIENDSHIP.-Till a
man has experienced the affection OF
All amiabIe, intelligent, unsophisticated
woman, he knows not half the charm
of life j; nor, till he has enjoyed the
friendship of such one, does he tru-
ly know what friendship j.. For
mems friendships for one another are
always more or less shaped by busi-
ness feeling whereas woman's for men
are generosity itself. Happy the man
who has woman for friend; thrice
happy, who has her in his wife. A
mans w ife may be everything that is
sweet and beautiful, but still she is not
his wife in the highest and truest sense,
till he can call her, from his heart, his
friend. And to be this, is Women's tri-
umph. For the glory of her life lies
not in the admiration of her lover, but
in the solid confidence of her husband
in his reliance on her intelligence and
truth, for his esteem in her piety and
virtues. Not that she can be made his
friend without effort of her own. She
gained the position by constant cultlva-
ton of what she perceives her husband
most TO value and admire amid the
things which her own innate sense of
purity and propriety commends as
worthy of their mutual regard.

HIGH LIVING AND ITS CONSEQUEN.
CES.

There are more failures occurring i'm
the commercial cities than commercial
journals are inclined to make public.
vi course 1t is discreet to observe reti-
cence in reference to such affairs, as
publicity to business failures frequent
ly tend to panics which lead to disas-
ters that might otherwise have been a.
vOided. What we desire to state i'm
this sconnectlon is that the cause to which
these failures are attributed is not al
ways. the right one. Many merchants
fail, and it is to their advantage to have
it understood that their bankruptcy
was brought about by fluctuations in
the market which neither their sagaci-
ty could foresee nor their ability con-
troll when they occurred. Be this as it
may, such are not the influences which
carry seven out of every ten men to
bankruptcy who reach that deplora-
bic condition. Extravaganza in per-
Sonal taste, wilful waste in domestic
affairs, sinful exhibitions sofdebauchery,
gluttOny, pomp and show are what
press many a business man, merchant
and manufacturer to insolvency. High
living in the leading classes ofthe COM
mercial cities, disposition to ape the
grandeur of the metropolis on the part
of those who live in the rural districts,
our inland cities and towns, is the in
fiuence which is deranging our finan-
ces and hurrying the country to crisis
through which it cannot pass without
suffering serious injury. Too many
men are making debts, which, at the
time of their contraction, they have
not the remOtest prospect of paying.
Too many husbands are indulging
their families in style of living which
their incomes do not warrant them in
keeping up. Too many wives are ar
rayed in costly garments charged on
the merchants books as "bad debts"
If the American people could be indu-
ced to abstain from the extravaganza
into which they have fallen if business
could be done without speculation if
men were content with fair profits, and
confined themselves within the limits
of their means, we would soon be the
most prosperous people in the world.
But we have yet to learn what lis to be
prudent, economical and thrifty. All
follies have their penalties. The indis-
cretiOnS of nations, like those Ofindivid-
uals must be atoned for in some way
and surely the indiscretion of high liz
ing will yet require atonement most
terrible to endure.

THE CONSTABLE AND PEDDLER.-A
certain constable short time since es-
pied a tin peddler pursuing his trade,
and like pickerel after minnow he
rushed at him and inquired:
"Have you license to sell?"
"No," coolly replied the itinerant
vender of pots and pans, 81 havn't."
"Well, sir, I'll attend to your case"
says the Dogberry.
"All right" says the peddler, "do."
The eager official rushes off to the
nearest trial justice and obtains war;
rant, and armed and equipped with
the lawful documents started ON chase
after the offending intinerant. Some
time, during day the next, after long
chase, the representative Yankee was
found, and hustled before the justice,
who read to him the warrant, and as "a
matter of form, of course, asked him
whether he was guilty or not guilty.
The justice and constable opened
wide their eyes to such contumacy.
They had not been in the habit of see
ing such.
"Not guilty." quoth the former,

"Well, have you a license?" asked
Rhadamanthus, in, "sarcastical" tones.
ooh, yes" said the travelling agent.
"Why," says the justice-quote an
other expression coming over his coun-
tenance-"d didn't you tell this gentle
man that you had no license ?"
"No SIR"

"No, I didn't" quietly replies the
peddler.

stable.

peddler.
"Well, what did you tell me, then ~
"You asked me if / had license to

the peddler, in an injured tone, "for
