The Love-Knot.

Tying her bonnet under the chin
She tied the raven ringlets in
But not alone in the silken snare
Did she catch her lovely floating hair
For, tying her bonnet under her Chin
She tied a young mans heart within.
They were strolling together up the hill
Where the wind comes blowing merry & chill
And il blew the curls a ii oicsOme race.
All over the happy, peach -cOlored face,
Till, scolding and laughing she tied them in
Under her beautiful dimpled chin.
And it blew a color bright as bloom
or the pinkest tuchia's tossing plume,
All over the cheeks of the preltiest girl
That ever imprisoned a roaming curl
Or, in tying the bonnet under her chin,
Tied young mans heart within,
Sleeper and sleeper grew the hill
Maddcr, merrier, cheerier still
The western wind blew down and played
The widest tricks with the little maid
AS, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
Oh, western wind, do you think it was fair.
To play such tricks with her floating hair :
To gladfully, gleelully, do your best
10 blow her against the young mans breast
Where he has gladly folded her in
And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin
Oh, Ellery Vane, you little thought,
An hour ago, when you Desought
This country lass to walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
What perlous danger you'd be in,
AS she tied her bonnc! under her chin.

The World would be Better for it..


If men cared less for wealth and fame,
And less for battlcfelds and glory
If writ in human hearts n name
Seemed better than a song and story
If men, instead of nursing pride,
Would learn TO hate Il and abliUt il
If more relied on Love TO guide,
The world would be the better for II.
If men dealt less in stocks and lands,
And more in bonds and deeds fraternal;
II Loves work had more willing hands
To link this world to the supernal
If man stored up Loves oil and wine,
And on bruised human hearts would pour il
If "yours" and "mine" would once combine
The world would be the bettet fOf II.
If more would act the play of Life,
A fewer spoil it in reherssl
If BigOtry would sheath its knife,
Till Good became more universal
If custoih, gray with ages grown,
Had fewer blind men to adore it
If Talent shonG for Truth alone,
The world would be the better for it.
If men were wise in little things,
Affecting less in all their dealings;
If hearts had fewer rusted strings
To isolate their kindly feelings
If men, when Wrong beats down the Right
Would strike together and restore it
II right made might in every fight,
The world would be the better for it.

How TO MAKE HOME HAppY.-Dd

not Jest with your wife upon a subject in
which there is danger OF wounding her
feelings. Remember that she treasures
every word you utter, though you Lever
think or it again. Do not speak of some
virtue i'll another mans wife, to remind
your own of n fault DO not reproach
your wife with personal defects, for if
she has sensibility, you infiict wound
difficult TO heal. Do not treat your wife
with inattention in company. Do not
up6raid her in the presence of third
person, nor entertain her with praising
the beauty and accomplishments of other
women. It yon %ould have pleasant
home and cheerful wife, pass your evei
nings under your own root.
DO not be stern and silent in yoiir
own house, and remarkable for sociabilii
ty elsewhere. Remember, that your
wife has rs much need of recreation as
yourself, and devote portion at least
OF your leisure hours TO such society and
amusement rs she may join. By so do
ing, you will secure her smiles and iD-
crease her affection. Do not, by being
too exact in pecuniary mattersj make
your wife feel her dependence upon your
bounty. II tends 10 lessen her dignity
of character, aud does not increase her
esteem tor you. ii she is a sensible wo1
man she should be acquainted with Jour
business and know your income, that
she may regulate her household expen-
ses accordingly. Women have a Keen
uercepton-be shre she will discover
your seltisltness, though no word Is spo-
ken. From that moment her respect is
lesseued, her confidence diminished, her
pride wounded, and thousand, perhaps,
unjust suspicious created, from that mo-
ment is your domestic comfort OH the
wane There can be no oneness, where
there is not full confidence. I.., ~.
a WORD TO BoYs.--Iruth is one of the
rarest of virtues. Many youth has been
lost in society by allowing falsehood to
tarnish his character and foolishly throw
ing truth away. Honesty, irankness, gen.
erosity, virtue-blessed traits Be these
yours, my boys, we shall not fear. You
are watched by yonr elders. Men who
are looking for clerks and apprentices
have their eyes on you. If you are pro-
fanej vulgar; saloon-going, they will not
choose you. If you are upright, steady;
and industrious, before long you will find
good places, kind masters, aud the pros'
pect of useful life before you.
