SLOPPY EFFUsIVENEsS.

Nothing is more annoying than that
display of affection which some hus-
bands and wives show to each other in
society. That familiarity Of touch,
those self-concealed caresses, those
absurd names, that prodigality Of en-
dearing epithets, that devoted atten-
ton which they faunt in the face of
the public as a kind OF challenge to
the world at large to come and admire
their happiness, is always noticed and
laughed at, and sometimes more than
laughed at. Yet to some women this
parade Of loye is the very essence OF
married happiness. and part OF their
dearest privileges. They believe
themselves admired and envied, when
they are ridicnled and scoffed at; and
they think their husbands are models
for other men to copy, when they are
taken rs examples for all 10 avoid
Men who have manliness, however,
do not give in to this kind Of thing
though there are some, rs effeminate
and gushing as women themselves,
who ike this sloppy efusiyeness of
love, and carry it on into quite old
age, fondling the ancieut gray-headed
grandmother as lavishly as they had
fondled the youthful bride, and seeing
no want OF harmony in calling an old
dame OF sixty and upward by the pet
names by which they called her when
she was a slip Of a girl Of eighteen
The continuance of love from youth
to old age is very lovely, very cheer
ing; but even John Anderson, my
10" would lose its pathos If Mrs. An
derson had ignored the difference be-
tween the raven locks and the snowy
brow. This public display of familiar
affection is never seen among men
who pride themselves on making good
lovers, as certain men do--those who
have reduced the practice OF love-
making to an art. science. and know
their lesson to q letter. These men
are delightful. 10 women, who like
nothing as much as being made love
to, as well after marriage as before
but men who take matters quietly tso,
sail around these scientific adorers for
both depth and manliness. And if
women knew their best interests they
would care more for the trust than the
science.

ROCK ME TO SLEEP, MOTHER.

The publication Of this beautiful piece happened
In 1851, Immediately after the breaking out Of
the rebellion IL WAS seized upon by the news
papers Of the country as something rare. No
owner appearing for the fugitive. some discussion
arose ss TO its authorship, and Eve six persons
in the Northern States laid claim to It. It wss
originally published under the non de plume Of
"Fisrenee Percy" and was set to music by eight
different composers, and thousands upon thou
sands wire sold. II now turns out that the poe
try was written in South Carolina by Mrs. Eliza-
beth Akers, widow Of Paul Akery, the sculptor,
who, until recently. has been unable to establish
her claims to Its sutborsbid. Untold sums have
besu realized from her talent yet this poor Wild
ow, whose verses have and will please millions,
never received fartbng for its compositisn.---

From the sick soul add the world weary brain;

DIGNITY OF LABOR.

NOTHING in practical wisdom is more
familiar to Americans than that o
mans hands are his fortune, and that
there is no patrimony better than a
good trade. Money, however, some
times turns peoples heads, 80 that
they forget this.
The late Col. Colt was himself q
practical mechanic. BY his will he
left to his nephew an immense fortune.
At the time of Mr.. Colts death, the
nephew was learning his trade in his
uncle's shop. working diligently in his
overalls by day, subject to the same
rules as other apprentices.
On his uncle's death he became a
millionaire; but, choosing guardian
to manage his property. he continued
his labor and served his apprentice
ship. Now, as he walks the rooms of
his fine house, or drives handsome and
costly teams, he has the consciousness
that il his riches take to themselves
wings and fly away, he is furnished
with the means of getting an honest
livelihood, and may make q fortune
for himself.
He was greasy mechanic, and is
not ashamed of it. Labor and its ac-
companying dirt are not dishonorable
nor degrading; laziness and its almost
necessary evils are disgusting and de-
stroying.
Dirty hands andaa sense OF inde-
pendence are to be preferred to kid
gloves, and consciousness of being q
mere drone in the human hive. Tools
rust from neglect; wear out from use.
Neglect is criminal; use beneficial
SO with mans capabilities-better
wear out than let them rust.
