LOVE AND BE HAPPY.

1t is the easiest thing in the world TO
be happy, if men and women would
only think so. Happiness is only an
other name for love; for where 1--we ex-
lists in household there happiness must
also exists, even though it has poverty
for a close comparion. Where love ex-
lists not, even though it be in a palace,
happiness can never come. He WAS n
cold nd selfish being who originated
the saying that "when Poverty comes
in at the door Love flies out at the win
dow;" and his assertion proves eonclu-
siyely that he had no knowledge of
love; for, unique stionably, the reverse
of the axiom quoted is nearer tho TRUTH.
When poverty comes in at the door,
love, tue love, more than ever in
clined to tarry and do battle with the
enemy. Lit those who imagine thtm-
| selves miserable, before they nnd fault
with :heir surroundings search their
own hearts for the true cause A f "

THE USE OF THE ROLLER.

TIE use of the roller is too ,ttle
known among some pretty good far
mers. In the spring as soon as tho
ground is free from frost and firm G.
nough to poach up under the feet OF
horses OF oxen all land in grass and
grain should be rolled. There are
many hills, and clods torn up by the
tread OF animals, and small stones, and
tussocks of grass, wheel tracks, and
a multitude Of things that cause irregu-
larities of surface, which good roller
puts out of the way inRnoe going over.

and thawing of winter, are packed firm

A SENSIBLE VIEW.

A writer in the Ne,o Jerusalem Magd-
sine, in referring to the much-discHssed
subject of unhappy marriages says: "lf
the fullest liberty of Encouragement
wero .;ven tomorrow to all the mar
ried couples In the world, there would
be Just as many unhappy wives ahd hus-
bands as before. 1t is tiie interior
wickedness of the human heart which
causes the mischief; and so long as men
and women arr by nature domlneermg,
cruel and Indifferent to one another's
rights, 80 long must there be unhappy
households, all the defamation against
tile fixedness of the marriage relation

A Case to Work I'm.

"The Mystery of Edwin Dro cd" furnishes the
literary detective with a rare Opportunity Tor
the exercise of his acumen. Several English
critics are brsying themselves " it'll the profile
matical fate OF Edwin brood, and suggesting
various explanations of the mystery OF his dis
appearance. Some OF the theories set forth are
very plausible, but as no two writer's agree in
their conclusions the result is unsatisfactory. As
Edwin Drcod is less likely to turn up than
many another missing man, the Investigation
threatens 10 be long one. One gentleman
fcinks it not difficult for the practised novel;
reacer to divire the catastrophe o. the story.
Clearly Jasper lives double life,-a portion OF
1t influenced by opium. He loves his nephew,
Edwin brood, but he has mad pa ssion FOR
Rosa. He plots to &c. Edwin out OF the way,
and TO lay the suspicion Of his murder upon
Neville Landless. To this end he foments a
quarrel between the young men,-to this end
Crypt with Durdles. In due dime Edwin N.Y..
teriously disappears, immured by Jasper.
Landlees ls suspected, through no evidence
appears against him. Rosa is wildly wooed by
Jasper, whom she repulses with dismay. Then
there appears in the ciiy OF Cloisterham an
eccentric white haired gentlems nared Dick
Datchery, who describes himself as an idle dog
living NJ On his means, and who TAX, lod> ,ngs
with Tope the verger. This, says the ingenioTs
ts writer whose views we are quoting, is no o'ier
by some unsuspected place Of emetgence, and
who comes back disguised to Cloisterf am to wait
ana watch. The engraved cover OF the English
eolnon OF the story reveals the fact that when
Jasper ~. again en:sr the crypt. excepting to
to the marriage ceremony prefgured on that
same engraving, We leave its details to the i'm
agination Of feminine readers. Does Neville
Landiess marry Rosa? 1t seems not improb.-
bic. AS to Helena Landless, If Edwin brood Is
