MY LITTLE WIFE.

Our table is spread for two tonight,
No guests our bounty share;
The daInask cloth is snOwy-white,
The service elegant and bright,
Our china quaint and rare;
My little wife presides,
And perfect love abides.
The bread is SPONGE the butter gold,
The mullins nice and hot;
What though the winds without blow cold
The walls a little world enfold,
And the storm is soon forgot.
In the firehght's cheerful glow
Beams a paradise below.
fairer picture who hath seen
Soft lights and shadows bient;
. The central figure of the scene,
She sits, my wife, my love, my queen,
Her head a little bent;
And in her eyes of blue
I read my bliss anew.
watch her as she pOurs the tea,
With quiet gentle grace
With fingers deft and movement free
She mixes in the cream for me,
A bright smile on her face;
And as she sends it up
I pledge her in my cup.
Was ever man before so blest?
I secretly reflect.
The passing thought she must have guessed,
For now dear lips on mine are pressed,
An arm is around my neck;
Dear treasure of my life,
God bless her, little wife

MARRIAGE Conductive TO LOSGEvTTY.
Those dry but useful people VINO de
light in statistics have been iuvestiga-
ting the effect of marriage and cehbacy
on mortality. They have demonstrated
to their satisfaction the beneficial effect
of marriage upon longevity. The last
person who has devoted his attention to
this subject is NJ. Bertillon. His statls-
tics cover the states of France, Holland
and Belgium. According to NJ. BertiI-
lon between the ages Of 20 and 30 out
of ], 900 married men there are 6 deaths,
out of 1000 bachelors 10 deaths, and
l 900 widowers % deaths. Between
30 and 35 the deaths IN the same num-
bers are Married men 7, bachelors il,
and widowers II. Between 30 and ~
years of age the mortality per 1000 Is 4:
Married men 8, bachelors 13, and wld-
overs II. Continuing these caIcula-
tions through different series OF years
the advantage on the score Of longevity
is always on the side Of the married
men.

"A queen Of noble Natures crowning.
A smile Of hers was like an act of grace =
She had no winsOme looks, no pretty frowning,
Like daily beauties Of the vulgar race
But If she smiled, light was on her face

OF peaceful radiance, silvering in the stream

Not quite aFaEing truth, not quite dream,

The handspring,

I have now, in my hand, gold watch,
which combines establishment and Uti-
Iity in happy proportions, and is often
considered very valuable appendage
to the person of gentleman. It's hands,
face, chain, and case, are of beautiful
gold. It's gold seals sparkle with the
ruby, topaz, sapphire, emerald. open
it, and find that the work, without which
this elegantly furnished case would be
a mere shelI-thOse hands mOtionless
and those figures without meaning-are
made of brass. Investigating farther,
and asking what is the spring, by which
all these are put in motion madea of,
am told it is made of steel. Is WIKI hat
is steel? The reply is, it is iron which
has undergone n certain process. So,
then, L find the handspring
which the watch would be almost mo-
tiOnless, and it's hands, figures and en-
tbeIishments but toys-is not of gold
Cthat is not sufficiently good,) nor of
brass, Cthat would not dO,) but of iron.
Iron, therefore, is the only precious
metal, and this watch but an emblem of
society. It's hands and figures, which
tell the hour, resembles the marter-
spirits of the age, to whose movements
every eye is directed. It's useless but
sparkling seals, sapphires, rubies, to-
pazes, embellishments, are the aristOc-
racy It's works of brass are the middle
class, by the increasing intelligence and
power of which the master-spirits of the
age are moved and its iron handspring
shut up in a box, always at workout
never thought of except when it is dis
orderly, broken, or wants winding up
symbolizes the laboring class, which,
like handspring, we wind up by the
payment of wages, and which class are
shut up in obscurity, and though con-
stantly at wolk, and absolutely necessary
to the movement of society, as the iron
handspring is to the gold watch, are
never though of, except when they re
quire their wages, or in the same want OF
disorder of some kind or other EUerett
IMPORTING FmBERTs. late Turf,
Field and Farm says of iraporting fiji
berts q We were surprised, on visiting
one of our Broadway fruit shops, to lind
fresh filbert, imported from Kent, in
England, selling with their heavy, green
husks on for eighty cents per pound,
and this has been the average for several
years. Why should not our farmers IL
| the middle and southern states grow
filberts? The climate which viii pro-
duce good peaches will also produce
fIberts, and all of our light tobacco
! lands in the basin of the Chesapeake
are as we'll suited to their growth as the
soil of Kent, and certainly at the prices
ruling now in New York, or at even half
these prices, flberts would prove the
most profitable product within the whole
range of agriculture. Nor is the adapta-
ton of the soil and climate of our mid
die states to the growth of these nuts
at all problematical, for they have been
grown in a small way on some of the old
hometeads in Virginia for more than q
/ hundred years.

A Hindoo Story.

a hl0OOO OJOIy.
A tiger, prowling III forest, was at
tracted by a bleating calf It proved
to be bait, and the tiger found himself
trapped in a spring cage. There he lay
for two days, when Brahmin happened
to pass that way.
''Brahmin p piteously cried the beast,
''have mercy on me; let me out of this
cage"
"Ah but you Will eat me.
g Eat you! Devour my benefactor?
Never couldI be guilty of such deed, "
responded the tiger.
The Brahmin, being benevolently in
clined, was moved by these entreatieB
and opened the door of the cage. The
tiger walked up to him, wagged his tail.
and said
"Brahmin, prepare to die, shall
now eat you"
ooh, how ungratefuI how wicked
Am I not your savior ?" protested the
trembling priest.
"True," said the tiger, every true
but it is the custom of my race to eat a
man when we get chance, and 1 can
not afford to let you 60"
"Let us submit the case to an arbi-
TRAITOR" said the Brahmin. Here
comes a fox. The fox is wise; let us
abide by his decision"
g Very well, " replied the tiger.
The fox, assuming a judicial aspect,
sat on his launches with all the dignity
he could muster, and, looking at the
disputants, he said
Good friends, / am confused at the
different accounts which you give of
this matter my mind is not clear
enough to render equitable judgment,
but if you Will be kind enough to act
the whole transaction before my eyes, L
shall attain unto more definite concep-
ton of the case. Do you, Mr.. Tiger,
show me just how you approached and
entered the cage, and then you, Mr..
Brahmin, show me how you liberated
him, and I shall be able to render a
proper decision"
They assented, for the fox was sol
emn and oracular. The tiger walked
into the cage, the spring door fell and
shut him in. He was prisoner. The
Judicial expression faded from the fox's
countenance, and, turning to the Brah-
min, he said:
''I advise you to go nome as fast as
you can, and abstain in future from do
ing favors to rascally tigers. Good
morning, Brahmii-; good morning,
tiger.
