/. Let every husband be persuaded that
there are two ways Of governing family
the first is by expression Of that will that be-
longs to force the second, by the power of
mildness, to which even strength will yield.
When husband accustoms himself to saw
lciH, he loses his empire.
2. Avoid unnecessarily contradicting your
wife. When we smell at a rose, It is to i'm
bibe the sweetness of its odor; we likewise
look for anything that is aIniable in man.
Whoever is often contradicted feels au insen-
sible aversion for the person who contradicts.
.. Never take upon yourself to be CEN
sor upon your wife's morals, nor read lee
lures to her, except aiiectionately. Let your
preaching be a good example, and practice
virtue YOURSELF to make her in love with it.
J. Command her attention by being al
ways attentive to her; never exact anything
from her that you would not be willing that
she should require from you appear always
tiattered by the little she does for you, which
will excite her to kind offices.
3. All women are vain; in some thci
vanity is insufferable Never wound tn
vanity, not even in the most trifing instance.
A husband may have more sense than his
wife. but he should never seem to know it.
q. When woman gives wrong counsel
never make her feel that she has done so, but
lead her ON by degrees to what is rational,
with midness and genteness; when she is
convinced, leave her all the merit Of having
found out what was just and reasonable.
I. When wife is out of temper behave
obligingly to her if she is unkind, never re-
tort or hnd fault with her, with view to
humble her.
5. Choose well your male friends have
but few, and be cautious of following their
advice in all matter, particularly if inimical
to the foregoing instruction.
Q. Never be curious unnecessarily to
pry into your wife's concerns, but obtain her
confidence by that which, at all times, you
repose in her Always preserve order and
economy avoid being out of temper, and be
careful never to scold. BY this means she
will find her own house more pleasant than
any other.
10. Seem always to obtain information
from her, especially before company, though
you may pass yourselffora simpleton. Never
forget that a husband owes his Importance to
that of his wife if he degrades her he Injuries
himself Leave her entirely mistress of her
action, to 90 and come whenever she thinks
fit. A husband ought to make his company
SO amiable to his wife, that she will not be
inclined to seek any other; then she will not
look for pleasure abroad if he does not par.
take of it with her.-Au6nrn Morning Neps.

The Good Dog and Bad Boy.

My neighbor keeps noble Newfoundland
dog in his store to guard at night. Not long
since, passed his store about midday, when
he came out with Towser at his heels and a
pail in his hand, and told Towser to take the
pail and carry it to the house, few rods
across the way. The dog did not whine over
the command, nor curl his tail and refuse to
60 no, not he. He obeyed at once, took
the pail in his mouth and away he went to
the house | watched him to see how well
he fulfilled his masters orders The door
was closed, so he sat down on the piazza and
waited welcome Five minutes passed, yet
no one opened the door; yet the dog was
patient and faithful. Five minutes more
passed, and Just as | was about to leave, he
was seen from the window and admitted with
his charge. Faithful dog thought |, never
to refuse obedience, or wait for the second
bidding.
Then thought of little Willie S., who
said to his mother, in my presence, Z" No,
can't do it; let Ned 60, he is not doing any
thing"

manding tone, 90 and bring me that wood
Immediately; don't let me have to tell you

there was no way of escape, and started

NelIle,s Yerse.

When Nellie visited at the house of cer.
gyman, family worship was new to her, aud
the eager, questioning look she turned upon
each one, as he or she repeated their chosen
text, induced her friend to say
F" Perhaps you would like to repeat short
verse from the Bible, Nellie. If you can re-
member one, | should like to hear you say
it,"

her turn had come at last, the smiles ripping
all over her face, like sunbeams on the water.

THE OLD CHURCH on rnE NIL

On the height Of lonely hin
It's rusty Old form 1t uprears,
Standing iu solitude, where it has stood
Ihruugh the storms of hundred years.
Il meets the first rays Of the morn,
While the valleys still sleep in the shade,
The glory Of sunset plays round its walls,
And it shines as with apphires inaid.
IN the dark and stormy nights,
When the temposts sweep over the hill,
II creaks IN the blast and wild, wild songs
lts desolate corridors iill
The traveller sees II ular,
On his rough and winding way;
The huslnndman secs it, resting from toll,
In the heat 1i a summer day
Around it the muItitudcs sleep,
Who OF old sought its alnrs in player-
\ great congregation, they rest from their tolls
unmoyed BY earth's tumult and care
o, many the thoughts of the heart,
i As we stand by the temple OF God,
Aud think OF thc wof-hipper-, vanished AMI gone
Who up t1 IT, courts havs trud
They came in the jos Of their souls,
Or they came with their burdens to bear.
IN the sunlight of youth, in the evening ofage,
In hope, or in grief and despair.
Then peace 20 the church On the Hill
Where its rusty old form It uprcars
Y .et itstand in its Loneliness where it has stood
\ Through the storms ola hundred years.
