Hint to Lovers.

If a youth is wooingly dis
posed towards any damsel as
he values his happiness, let him
follow the advice of an old and
experinced hea6 call on the
lady when she least expects
him, and take notice of the ap-
pearance of all that is under
her control. Observe if tie
shoe fit neatly-if the gloves
are clean, and the hair neat
and 1 would forgive man for
breaking off an engagement,
if he discovered a greasy novel
hid away under the cushion of
a sofa, or a hole In the garni~
ture of the prettiest foot in
the world. Sloveniness will
ever be avoided by a well reg.
ulated mind as would a pesti.
lence. A woman can not
alwass be dressed particularly
one in middle ore humble
life, where her duty, and it is
consequently to be hoped her
pleasure, lies in superintend-
ing and assisting in all domes.
tic matters, but she may al.
ways be neat well apparaled
and as certainly as a virtu-
Gus woman is a crown Of glory
to her husband, SO surely is a
slovenly one a crown of therns.

shall ever see sunshine again."
said John Manly, as he sat
shivering in the corner II am
sure it would be blessed thing
to have one single stick of
neighbor FarwellIs wood"
The room was dark and
gloomy. An OLD table was
placed near the bed, and was
covered with the scanty re-
mains of a scanty dinner. Now
and then a little girl stole
noiselessly up 10 a broken
plate, and silently ate the par
lngs OF some cold potatoes,
which had been given them
the day before; and then taking
a bone which she had for a
third time replaced upon the
table, because she had eaten
from it all that could be eaten,
she sat down close to her
brother, and laying her cheek
upon his knee, put it again to
her mouth, while the tears
filed her eyes. .. d
"These are hard times my
poor little sister, Now which
would you rather have, a good
dinner or a warm fire?"
81 should rather have a warm
fire, for | fe elyery cold"
A low moan was heard from
the bed, and 7John started from
his stool, and bending over it,
said, another, do you feel bet

poor Mrs. Manly had been
long suffering from severe
rheumatism, which had been
greatly increased during the
last few damp chilly days.
'Where is George?" she asked,
as she raised her head, and
looked around the room.

He was here interrupted by
a noise on the stairs, and pres
emily the door opened, and
George Manley, with his arms
full of wood, hastily entered.
His cheeks were flushed, and
there was an anxious express
sion upon the hearth, and then,
standing erect and looking
round on the astonished group,
he exclaimed, "What do you
think of thatP' LIZ
"Why," said John, aI for one

"George, did neighbor Far

he couldn't afford to give to
folks that laid abed and didn't
work. I told him you was sick,

and asked, "Where then did
you get that wood9" aWhy,
mother, as I passed his wood
house, | saw the gate open, and
a great pile Of wood close by.
| knew the cross old fellow was
out of the way, for he was sha-
wing, and | said to myself, my
poor mother is sick, and we
shall all freeze to DEATH and
so | picked up a few chips that
were outside of the gate, and
those great sticks l took from
off the pile. But mother, / tell
you what it is; It's dreadful
hard TO steal, and LhGd rather
'c0r6 my fingers to tie bone
than do it again" sscrr.t..
Mrs. Manly raised herself on
her elbow, and with a look Of
intense and bitter sorrow,
gazed on her son; then laying
her head again upon her
pillow, she burst into tears.
The children surrounded the
bed; but they spoke not. Al
last wiping the large tears from
her cheek with the sleeve o.
her coarse and well patched
night gown, she turned hei
eyes again on George. There
was deep feeling in her tone as
she said, "My son, it is the will
of God that We should suffer
but he has said, '7RoW shal,
not 'steaL' That wood must be
returned. I woald rather see
my children starve and freeze
than to see them break any o.
Gods commandments. Now
