III HUSBAND AND WIFE.

Did you ever hear tho word
"husband" explained ? 1t means
literally the "hoad Of the house, "
tho support Of it, the person who
keeps it together, as n band keeps
together Il shcaf Of corn. There
are many married men who arc
not husbands, because thcy arc
not the band Of tho house. Truly
in many cases, tho wife is tho
husband for oftontimcs it is sho
who, by hcr prudence and thrift
and economy, keeps tho house to.
gothcr. The married man who,
by his dissoluto habits, strips his
house of all comfort, is not hus.
band; in legal scnse he is, but IN
no other; for he is not u house
band; instead of keeping things to-
gcthor, he scattcrs them among
the pawn. brokers.
And now let us sec whether the
word "wifo" has not n lesson too.
1t literally means q "wcavcr." The
vito is tho person who wcaves.
Before our great cotton md cloth
factories arose, ono Of the principal
cmploymcnts in cvory house was
the fabrication Of clothing; every
family made its own. Tho wool
was spun into throad by tho girls,
who were therefore called spinsters
tho thread was woven into cloth
by their mother, who accordingly
was called tho weaver or wife;
and another remnant Of this old
truth was discovered in the word
"heirloom," applied to any old
piece Of furniture which had come
down to us from our ancestors,
and which, though it may be n
chair or bed, shows that u loom
was once q most important arti-
clio IN ovcry house. Thus the word
"wifo" means weaver; and as
Trench well remarks, "in tho word
itself is wrapped upa hint Of earn
most, indoor, stay-at.homo occu-
pations as being fitted for hor who
boars his name"

INJURED to himself
"How different it might havo

"And | alonc am to blamc,"
said u low voice. And Ireno, who
had approached unseen, stood in
the doorway Of tho little arhor.
AS tho last rays Of the sun pone-
tratcd through tho thick vines Of
honoysucklo and woodbine which
festooned the little arbor and fell
upon lrcne's face, expressive Of
sympathy and regret, Walter
could not rcprcss an exclamation
Of surprise and admiration; and,
gently drawing hor to II scat, fell
ut her feot, and poured out his
love with all tho oarncstncss of q
devoted heart.
Why need we dwell longcr upon
this scene? We will drop the cur
tain and leave these two happy
hearts to commune with each
other unmolcstcd. But, before
taking loavo Of tho gontlo roudor,
lot us cntreat you, before placiAg

SOMETHING FOR IHE IA.
DAES.

TO DC sure tho hcada Of tho best
regulated household arc apt to
grumblo while paying their wives
dressmaking bill. Yet mon arc
usually iastidious in regard TO wo
mans dress. Evon those who arc
careless in regard to their own at
tlio tako delight in seeing their
wives neat in appearance. They
admire coqucttish garments, neat
ly dressed hair and all tho thousand
tasty and fanc:ful little articles
with which young women adorn
themselves, more than they would
be willing TO allow. The neatnoss
and ardor which charmed thcm,
too often givcs place to II slovcnly
morning gown, frowsy harr, slip
shod and unlaccd shoes, and tho
like, for many women who make
it u study to please tho men they
to marry, display great careless
ness in dress after marriage. Men
do not like this. They reason that
womon should havo tho same de-
sire to please tho men thoy havo
chosen, after marriage as they did
before it. The last nov song loses
its charm coming from the lips Of
II slnttcrn. The poetry goes out
OF llto ut & lance, and tho house
hold loses its brightness. Tho
wife, who on account Of household
cares, ncglocts hor personal ap.
pearancc, commits grave mis-.
take, which too oftcn bears bit
tor fruit, and their husbands leave
thoir society, for that Of others
without really knowing tho cause,
most men arc too proud to tell
them. Let women always give tho
same care to their dress after mar
rIagc which thoy gave it before,
and not rush from tho room to
"dross up" only when thoro is "
prospect Of "compaDy." Let them
consider that that which givesthem
u charm in tho eyes Of their friends
has u like cffoct on husband, and
they will SEQ that no will not huvo
SO many business calls in tho city

same delight in their society rs in

Walter Chester was strictly

| IhIs statement sounded u little
singular ut first, but tho moro he
road 1t over the moro favorablv
nc became impressed with it, and
ilnally concluded to adopt it. Next
door to Roubons lives a man who
has made fivo distinct attempts in
the past fortnight to secure q din
nor OF groom peas by the first Of
July, and every time he has been
retarded by Reubcns' hens. The
next morning after Rcubons made

again:
"Why don't you answer my

But still Rcubcns maintained
his cqnanimity, and wont on with

The mad neighbor stared hard

Renbens' face flushed at this

At this figure the ncighbor got
upon the fenco in some haste, but
suddenly thinking Of his peas, he
opened his mouth:

"Twcnty .sevon, twenty. eight, "

Hero tho neighbor broke for tho

slammed the door behind him but
Roubons did not dare let up on tho

there alono in his own yard, and
kept on counting, while his burn.

eloquontly affirmed his Judgment.
when ho got up into tho eighties
his vito came to the door in somo

"Why, Roubons, man, what is

"Do come into tho house."
But he did't lot up. She came
out to him, and clung trembling
to him, bnt he finally looked into

PAINT FOR ROUGU BIIJIDINoo

PAINT FOR RoUGH BUILDTNGs.-
A correspondent of the Country Gen.
ueman gives the following recipe for
cheap coloring for rough buildings:
Take 2 on. of salammoniac and 9 or.
of potash; dissolve these in three
quarts of water; then add one quart
raw linsecd oil; then take, say 10
pounds dry red (that was what we
used) and add water enough to put on
with whitcwash brush (wc used fish
Plckle') Add ono gill turpentinc to
the linsccd oil. If rcd does not suit
add anything to alter tho color. We
used paint made as above on rough
buildings twelve years ago, and it is
almost or quite as bright now as when
we put it on. 10 make the building
look well you want to paint the cor.
ncr boards with white lead and oil.

A lonesome, homeless mincr-man,
Who cooked and washed and worked,
Perhaps his name was John or Dan,
No olds-hc never shirkcd,
And why care what his name might be
Who dclvcd with pick and dril?

Walking away alone,
Aud soon I saw him most intent
Sit reading on stone;
And as he read the rolling tears
Came coulsing down his face
His heart had Travelled back for years,
TO chidhood's tender place.
Now, when that miner raised his latch,
What sorrow entered there
To bow his head beneath the thatch
Re-reading it with care?
How weary sat he by The fire
Too sad and faint to cook
His lonely meal and then retire
Without q voice or book.
