SUE SANDERS.

Sue Sanders was country lass,
With eyes as brown az buns,
And cheeks that held the peacby bloom
Of eighteen summer suns.
She never owned n silken dress,
Nor dreamed Of Mechlin lace,
Yet wore her tidy homc.spun gown
With such bewitching grace,
That scarce the merchants gayest goods
Had made her seem more fair -
No princess with sweetcr grace
royal robe could wear.
One day there came city man.
With wealth and honors rife.
And asked sweet Susy Sanders soou-
II she would be his wife.
Now Sue country laddie loved,
With scarce n dime to show
But Susy loved him none the less,
And so she answered "no."
The rich man bit his bearded lip,
And bent bis naughty head,
But hoping 10y his wealth to win,
lie waited still and said
"Your country lad is rude and rough.
With brawny, sun Drowned hands,
Aud offers. with his clownish name,
Nor gold nor goodly lands
"while wealth and. gems stately house
And name Of ancient pride,
Are mine to offer TO the one
] ask TO be my bride"
Then redly flushed her rounded cheek,
And like queen she said
ITO plow and sow and reap the field,
Aud earn ones daily bread,
al think is nobler than to sit
Content l,fe's cares to shirk,
Aud nc'cr n jcwelled fpgcr Lift
To any earthly work.
"And pray, good sir have you not learned
Love il not bought or soldg
whcnecr Iwed. I'll we'd n MAN,
And not his lands or gold."
With sullen brow the suitor grand
Rode fercely back to town:
And one May morn Sue welded Will,
Clad in her home spun gown.

A WIFE,s STRATEGY.
BY n. KFRCHEvAL.


Frank Horton was pleasant fellow
when he had his own way. lie was
handsome and wealthy, perfect in the
art Of flirting, and great favoritc 10
soci!,y.
His mother had spoiled him in his
ioiancy; lie had been petted child,
and, unfortunately, aud unfortunately,
had always had his own way. His
IDEAS in regard to matrimony were no,
known to his friends, until ono day
when he sdrprisscd them all by marry.

insisted was rs near as possible to his
ideal.
Frank could make himself very agree.
able when he was so disposed. As n
gallant he was delightful; SO it was
not so surprising after all, as it is
TO be presumed he kept in the back
ground the reverence, the worship he
as superior being, intended to exact
from this same ideal.
After the bridal trip, they establish
cd themselves in a little gem Of a house
with every convenienco for comfort.
And TO his particular friond he said,
Il have not married from any lofty
motives of love, though my wife is the
dearest being iu tho world. | would
not for kingdom, have married one
of those self sufficient brilliant wome o ,
who like 10 show their power over a
man, and rejoice in petticoat rule !!
A man dare not look at another wo-
man lest they frswn, and show their
dlsplcasurc. | intend to be an ex-
ample to all husbands hcncetorth !"
Franks friend pitied the poor little
wife. Not that no feared she would
have to suffer absolute wrong, but
Horton might 6irt-indced he avowed
bis intention to do so whenever he
pleased, and il is so easy to wound a
loving heart, and peace and happiness
depart as eifccluily under such treat
ment as if actual blows were given.
Tho friend went home to diuner
with Frank, and was duly presented to
his wife. She was a delicate little
creature, with gay, cheerful miuners,
Extremely winoing-showing her de-
vo,ion to Frank 10 that describable
way 50 catering to his object-said OBJ
ljcct looking particularly gratfed and
consequential at the evidence his friend
was having that his system was work
ing as well 10 practice asit had sound
cd 10 theory.
Tho friend could hardly tell upon
what particular grounds ho basel his
opinion, but after that first interview
he lost his fears fer the future Of tho
fragile. delicate being Frank had ta'
ken for wife, and to feel tbero might
be u possibility of his receiving sons
of the lessoss 10 submission his moth
er's partiality had spared him in hi'
youthful days.

The time will very likely come when
sunshine, or sunlight, will be so utilized
as to be the entire remedy used for very
many diseases. That it is a wonderful
vitalizer, none can doubt who know any
thing about it.
But how many houses are constructed
with view to get all the sunshine pos
sible, especially when so much is needed
as in winter and spring. The living, or
sitting room, at these seasons of the year
at least, should have full southern ex-
posture, with large windows to let in the
sunshine. Sleeping-rooms, wardrobes,
closets and passage-ways, should receive
the cleansing, vivifying influence of the
sun. Sickly persons should court the
sunshine as much as possible-sit IN it
luxuriate in it. 1t does not cost any.
thing, only appreciation.
A room warmed neither by the sur
nor by fire, is unhealthy and not tit fol
habitation. 1t is poor theory tha
sends men, women or children off into {
cold room to sleep, on health principles
when warmth has been excluded for &
day or a week, perhaps months. TIT
change in the temperature of the room
having both fire and sunshine, after thu
sun has goes down, is exceedingly mark
ed. A perceptible chill is felt.

JUMPING THE BRooMsTIoK.-A curl
Gus story is told by the Paris Steele, il.
Illustrating the evil consequences of arbi-
trary notions of marriage held by the
followers of religious sects in opposition
to the simple view of the matter taken
by the State. An Algerian correspon-
dent of this Journal says that the indigo
nous jews who have now become French
citizens are not at all clear on this point.
They look into their religion for their
law, and to this fact must be attributed
the following painful story. The ancient
customs of the Jewish people make the
reception by young woman of gift
from young man rendered with the
words, consecrate thee to myself with
this" valid marriage A young and
indignant jew, being in want of rich
wife, liked upon a rich young Jewess as
BIT person on whom to try stratagem
sug- ested by this custom. He introduc-
duced himself TO his victim as jeweller
in the town, and succeeded in making
her choose bracelet. While paying
him, she perceived that the money she
bad put down was insufficient, and said
SO to the pretended jeweller, who instant.
ly handed her coin, at the same time
pronouncing the sscramental words
which made her his wife. The girl in
stautly threw down the piece, but the
rascal had in the estimation of the big.
oted rabbis, acquired sufficient right
over her to induce them to summon her
before the synagogue that the affair
might be investigated, although it was
obvious that. both parties being French
subjects, no such claim could stand
The rabbis decided that the conditions
making the gift, marriage had not
been fulfilled, but the poor girl fell i'll
from agitation and anxiety and died in
few days

How HE Cor OvER.-In Scotland
they have narrow, open bitches they call
sheepdrains. A man was riding don
key one day across sheep pasture, and
when Mr.. Donkey came to sheep-drain
he would not go over it. 81 the man
rode him back a short distance, and
turned him round, and put the whip to
him thinking, of course that the donkey
going SO fast, would jump the dam be-
fore he ever knew it. But not 80. On
they came, and when the donkey got to
the rain he stopped all of sudden,
and the man went over Mr.. Jacks head.
No sooner had he touched the ground
than he got up, looking Mr.. Donkey
straight in the face, he said. VERY weel
pitched but then how are ye going to
get over yersel' ?"
