Learn a Little Every Day.

Little rills make wider streamIets,
Streamlets swell the rivers flow;
Rivers join the mountains billows,
Onward, onward as they goi
Life 10 made OF smallest fragments,
Shade and sunshine, work and play;
So may we, with greatest profit,
Learn little every day.
Tiny seed make boundless harvests,
Drops Of rain compose the showers,
Seconds make the flying minutes,
And the minutes make the hoursI
Let us hasten, then, and catch them
A. they pass US on the way;
And with honest true endeayor
Learn little every day.
Let us read some striking passage,
Call verse from every page;
Here line, and there a sentence,
'Gainst the lonely time of agei
At our work, or BY the wayside,
While the sunshine's making hay;
Thus we may, by help Of study,
Learn little every day.

would strive to become learned
witty, or wise, men might re-
concile themselves to the loss
of what they perhaps cling to
overfondly, the material COM
forts of home. If the digestion
Of their overdone steak or un-
derdone puddings was facilita-
ted by the piquancy of a bon
mot, or the Scantiness Of an i'll
provided dinner made up for
by the fulness Of learning and
philosophy, it is possible that
husbands would be less dispos-
ed to grumble at the domestic
shortcomings of their wives.
To expect them, however, to be-
hold with complacency the in
solent triumph Of chignon and
skirt, while their purses and
stomachs are alike collapsing,
is expecting too much from ma
terial good nature.
1t is far from our purpose to
persuade women to make mere
household drudges of them

should aspire to become COM

How to Treat Slander.

We once heard a story Of two
men who started together one
bright morning for a whole
days journey. They soon be-
came separated. The one
reached his destination before
the sun sunk behind the west
ern hills, where he made him
self comfortable at the inn. His
only trouble was for concern
for his laggard companion. He
thought surely some evil must
have befallen him. Long after
dark his fellow traveller arrived.
When asked the cause of his
delay he replied,
"I was obliged to stop at
every other house to whip of
the unmannerly dogs that bark
ed at me. Didn't they bark at
! you, also?"
"Yes," replied the other.
'Hbut | didn't stop to whip

Choosing a Wife.

Cobbett is said to have been
first attracted toward the wo-
man whom he afterwards mar
ried by the vigor with which
she WhirIed a mop. Cooke, the
celebrated tragedian, became
so enamored at the rump steaks
served to him at a certain cof-
fee-house, that, in order to per-
petuate his enjoyment, he in
stalled the kitchen maid in his
own house as Mrs. Cooke
Both Of these women proved
excellent wives, though they
were by no means equally ap-
preciated. Mrs. Cobbett was
always tenderly cherished by
that rude demagogue, her hus-
band; but Mrs. Cooke had little
but.hard knocks in return for
her devotion to the drunken
actor.
Ifa man, in these days Of del
icate and superfne women,
waits for a wife until he finds
one capable of Whirling the
mop or cooking a beefsteak, he
must needs be patient, and will
probably die a bachelor. Our
manageable girls make no
pretention to the rude vigor of
a Mrs. C0bbett, or the humble
skill of Mrs. Cooke, yet they
might possess both, and have
none the less beauty of person
and delicacy Of sentiment
Fielding's sweet wife could at
the same time dress the dinner
"and herself as neat as any
lady who had a regular set OF
servants could have done" Mrs
| Somerville, the woman Of sci,
