To MALE MIscHIEF.-Keep your eye on
your neighbors. Take care of them. Do not
let them sur without watching. They may do
something wrong if you do. To be sure, you
never knew them 10 do anything very bad, but
it may be on your account they have not. Per.
haps if it had mol been for your kind care they
might have disgraced themselves long time
ago. Therefore do not relax any effort to keep
them where they ought 10 be. Never mind
your own business that will take care of it.
self. There is man passing along-he is
looking over the fence-be suspicious of him
perhaps he contempltaes stealing some Of the
dark nights; there is no knowing what queer
fancies he may have got into his bead.
If you find any symptoms ofany one passing
out of the path of duty, tell every one else what
Sou see, and be particular TO see great many.
1t is good way TO circulate such things, though
it may not benefit yourself or any one else par
ticularly. Do keep something going silence
is dreadful thing; though it is said there
was silence in heaven for the space Of half an
hour DO not let any such thing occur on earth !;
it would be too much for this mundane sphere.
If, after all your watchful care, you cannot
see anything out of the way in any one, you
may be sure it is not because they have not
done anything bad perhaps in an unguarded
moment you lost sight of them-throw cut hints
that they are no better than they should be-
that you should not wonder if the people found
out what they were after while, then they may
not carry their heads so high. Keep it going,
and sumo one may take the hint and begin to
help you along after while then there will be
music and everything will work to a charm.

The VALUE OF L GOD TEMPER AND For
BEARANCE.- Good temper is the sunshine of
the domestic circle, and must be priced and cul
tivated accordingly. Fretfulness, peevishness,
sullenness, bitterness, and anger must be view
ed as so many Kissing snakes, and driven from
every hearth that claims the distinction of being
happy. When tempted to give way to any i'll
fes lIngs, self restraint must be exercised and
mutual tortearance shown. Much will be ac-
complished by carrying out the determination
that both shall never lose their temper at the
same Iime-the one bringing water where the
other brings fire.
LET them treat each others feelings" it
has been well said, with lenity, and learn to
be, as occasion serves, blind, deaf and dumb
especially dumb. Not sullenly dumb, but Sc
reneIy dumb. Not silent from moodishness and
looking out the while like mariner in dark
night Tor the first streaks of the dawn, and hail
ing it with grateful welcome" A gentle con-
trast, well arranged diversity gives relish to
married life. 1t is the necessary condition,
however u diversity that the parties should
view things occasionally from different point
of view, and wisdom will be required therefore
by mutual concessions gentleness. good humOr
and torbearance, to prevent such dIversities of
taste or opinion becoming the source ofquarrel,
irritation, or, to use phrase of modern coinage,
maggie" A clergyman, who had tied the
marrIageknot for many couple, was always
careful to whisper TO the bride as his parting
counsel. "Be sure never to have the last
word"-an advice which is excellent, but is
surpassed by the recommendation that neither
party should take the fist one.
