Widow Jones' Cow.

WidowerS Smith wagon stopped one
morning before Widow Jones, and
gave the usual signal that he wanted
somebody in the house, by dropping
his elbows on his knees, Out tripped
the widow, lively as a cricket, with a
tremendous black ribbon on her snow
white cap. Good morning was soon
said ON both sides, and the widow
waited for what was further to be said.
"Wesl, ma'am Jones !; perhaps you
don ,8ant to sell one of your cows,
no how, nothin', no way, DO you ?"
"Well, there, Mister Smith, you
couldn't have spoken my mind better.
A poor, lone woman like me does not
know what to do with so many crea
lures, and should be glad to trade,
if we can fix it.
So they adjourned to the meadow
Farmer Smith looked at Roan-then
at the widow--thcn at the Downing
cow-then at the widow again-and
so on over the wholetorty. The same
call was made every day for a week,
but Farmer Smith could not decide
which COW he wanted. At length, on
Saturday, when widow Jones was in
hurry to get through her baking for
Sundav--and had ever so much to do
in the house, as all farmers wives and
widows have on Saturday--she was a
little impatient. Farmer Smith was
as irreSolute az ever
"That Downing COW is a pretty fair
creature - but = he stopped and
glanced at the widows face, and then
walked around her--not the widow,
but the COW.
"That ere short horn Durham is not
a bad looking beast, but don know
another look at the widow.
"The Downing cow | knew before
the late Dr. Jones bought her. Here
he sighed at the alIusion to the late
Mr.. Jones. She sighed, and they
both looked at each other. 1t was Il
highly interesting moment.
"Old Roam is u faithful old milch,
and so is Brindlo-but | have known
better. A long stare succeeded tins
spcech--the pause was getting aWk-
ward, and at last Mrs. Jones broke
out:
Law, Mr.. Smith, If I'm the COW
You want do say so,

and the Widow Jones wrr" duly pub
lished the next day, a- is the law and
custom in Massachusetts, and a. soon
as they We're "out published, they

1t is the smallneSs of income and
the necessity of looking sharply to the
means Of life that makes the Young
people of Madrid so prudent in their
love affairs. | know Of no place wher"
ugly hercsses are such bellies, and
where Young men with handsome in
comes are 50 universally esteemed by
all who know them. The stars on the
sleeves of young officers are more re-
garded than their dancing, and the
red belt of the field officer is as win
ming in the eyesof beauty as a ccstus
of Venus. A suhaltcrn offered his
hand and heart to a hlack-eycd girl
of CASTLE. She said kindly but firmly
that the night was too cloudy
"What = said the stupcfed lover, the
sky is full of stars. y Il see but one, y
said the prudent beauty, her fine eyes
resting pensively upon his cuff, where
one luminary indicated his rank.
If men We're never henpecked except
by learned wives, Spain would be the
place of all others for timid men to
marry in. The girls are bright, viva
cious, and naturall y very clever, but
they have scarcelv y any education
whatever. They never know the diff
ference between band q. They throw
themselves in photography entirely
upon your benevolcnce. They know
Il little music and little French, but
they have never crossed, even in a
school day excursion, the border line
of the ologies. They do not even read
novels. They are regarded as injuri-
Gus, and can not be trusted to the
daughters until mamma has read them.
Mamma never has time to read them,
and so they are condemned by default.
Fernan Cabellero, in one of her
sleepy little romances, refers to this
illiterate character of the Spanish
ladies, and says it is their chief charm
that Christian woman, in good so
ciety, ought not to know anything
beyond her cookery book and her mis-
sal. There is an old proverb which
coarsely conveys this idea: A mule
that whnnies and a woman that talks
Latin never come to any good. There
is a contented acquiescence in this
moral servitude among the fair Span
iards which would madden our agita-
tresses.
1t must be the innocence which
springs from ignorance that induces
an occasional coarseness Of expression
which surprises you in the conversa-
tion of those lovely young girls. They
will speak with perfect freedom of the
etat civil ola young unmarried mother.

Marriage MaXinls.

A good wife is the greatest earthly
blessing.
A man is what his wife makes him
1t is the mother who moulds the
character and destiny of the child.
Make marriage matter OF moral
Judgment.
Marry into d different blood and
temperament from your own.
Marry into u family which you have
long known.
Never both manifest eager at once
Never speak loud to one another
unless the house is on fire.
Never reflect on past action whlcl
was done with a good motive and Will
the best Judgment ut the time.
Let each one try to yield ottenest tc
the other
Let sell-abnegation be the daily ain
and effort to each.
The very nearest approach to 40
mcstic felicity on earth Is mutual cul'
tivation of an absolute unselhshness
Never find fault unless it is perfect,
" certain that a fault has been com.
mittel, and even then prelude it with
a kiss, and lovingly.
Never allow a request to be repeat
ed. IL forgot, Is never an acceptable
excuse.
Never make a remark at the cx-
pcnsr Of the other; it is meanncss.

of compulsory confession-consclence,

learned with their dolls to q more

Silver Wedding.

Just five and twenty years ago,
MY wife and were wed;
And many an anxious hour | trow,
Since then, passed DER our head.
And sometimes touched the thorn,
When gri>ping at drluSivc flowers
Tla, lifc'S frail path adorn.
But hand in hand, rcsiwnrdly,
We have Travelled through the vale;
And we've topped the ladder kindly,
knowing no such word aS fail.
And though our hearts are older,
They are warm and vigorous still;
And they never shall grow colder,
Though we're ,rldging down the hill.
We have no regrets or sorrow:
Nor vain wishes to be young
For the hopes Of youth, Tomorrow,
To oblivion may be- flung.
Bu, when friends are all invited
TO approach distant strand,
Nav we all he then united
In Il pure and happy land.
So let Us hope this happy night
May annually restore
The memories that hrr" We plight
For five and twenty more.
And now, my fricn s. don't think amiSS,
II must tell YOU -,
That I'll renew the lrrI rnt kiss
OF five and twenty years ago.

Poor Napoleon.

M. Louis Napoleon--for SO we must
now call him, as he is no longer ar
Emperor-knows what it is to be II
prisoner. He has been told by his
keepers, the authorities at Berlin, that
he must issue no more manlfestoes.
Our readers will remember the one he
put forth few days since, the evident
object of which was to excite a sympa-
thy in his favor. Being a prisoner Of
war, and having no recognized civil OF
political existence, he clearly had no
right to issue any such document,
and although it was a very harmless
one, yet future manifestoes may not
be SO innocuous. Prussia has, there
fore, done we'll to silence him. But,
we apprehend that it will not be long
before he is released from his captivity.
The conclusion of the war will be fol-
lowed by an exchange Of prisoners,
when Louis will be suffered to leave
his present residence. If not prohib-
tied, he will no doubt return to Paris;
but his residence there will be far from
comfortable, and it may be dangerous.
There is very little chance of his ever
being again placed at the head of the
Government, and Thiers is his bitter
enemy. He may therefore reioin his
wife and spend his remaining days in
England. He is a completely used
up man; the bubble Of his reputation
has exploded, and, 50 far from thinking
shat his son will ascend the French
throne, we believe the French people
are sick of the name of Napoleon. 1t
has been significant of misfortune to
them, and under both Napoleons has
Paris been occupied by foreign troops,
disgraced and Inundated, and the pair
have been arrested and confined as
prisoners. Napoleon and his family
are ehete. Let us hope for rational
and liberty-loving Republican Govern
ment in France.
