Nothing 10 more beautiful than the be-

to see the look Of pride With which the
wife turns to her husband from any more

wit Than his in Tire perfect confidence that
il the world knew what she knows there
would be one more popular idol.
How she magnides his small wit and

What a counselor that man would make
What a warrior he would be! There are
a great many corporals in their retired
homes who did more for the safety and
success Of our armies in critical moments
in the late war than any Of the "high-
cock lorum" commanders. Mrs Cor
poral does not envy the reputation Of
General Sheridan; she knows very well
who really won;Fivc Forks, for she has
heard the story a hundred times. and will
hear il hundred more with apparently
unabated interest What General her
husband would have made aud how bis
talking talent could shine in Congress.
There isn't wife in the world who
has not taken the exact measure OF her
husband, weighed him and settled him In
her own mind, and knows him as well as
il she had ordered him after designs and
specifications OF her own. That know

Oh for wings that might soar
a little way above the floor
n little way beg end the roar
A little nearer to the sky
To the blue hills. lifted high,
Out of all our misery
Where alone is heard the lark,
Warbling in the infinite are,
From the dawning to tho dark;
Where the callow eaglets wink
On the bare and breezy lrink.
And slow pinions rise AM sink;
Where the dim white breakers beat
Under eloud-drifs at OBJECT, $780,
Singing singing low an sect'
Where we see the glimmsring bay
Grayly melting far away
On the confines of the day;
Where the green larch-fringes sweep
Rocky deiiles, still and steep;
Were the tender linchens creep;
Where the genetian- blossoms blow,
Set in crystal stars of snow;
Where the downward torrents flow
To the plains and yellow leas,
Glancing. twinkling. through the trees,
Pure as from celestial seas;
Where the face of Heaven has smiled
Aye on freedom sweet anl wild,
Aye on beauty undeiiled;
Where no sound of human speech;
And no human passions reach;
Where the angels sit and teach;
Where no tr0ublous foot has trod;
Where is impressed on the sod
Only hand and heart of God!

PURITY OF CuARACTER.-Over the out
er coat of plum and apricot there grows
bloom more beautiful than the fruit
itse!!--a soft, delicate powder that over
spreads its rich colors. Now if you
strike your hand over that, and it is once
gone it is gene forever; il only appears
once. The flower that hangs IN the
morning empcalled with dew-arrayeJ
with jeweis--once shake it, so that the
boards roll off, and you may sprinkle wa
ter over it as you please, yet 1t can never
be made again What it was when the dew
fell gently on 1t from heaven.
On frosty morning you may see the
panes of glass covered with landscapes,
mountains, lakes, and trees, blended into
a beautiful fantastic picture Now lay
your hand upon tho glass, and by the
stratch Of your Gugcrs, OF by the warmth
Of the palm, all the delicate tracery will
be obliterated.
SO there is in you beauty ana purity
of character. which, when once touched
and deiiled, can never be restored. IA
fringe more delicate than frost worn
which, when torn and broken, never,
be repaired. When a young lad or girl
leaves the parents house. with the bless
ings of a mothers tears still wet upon
the cheek, il early purity Of character be
once lost, it is loss that can never be
made up again. Such is the consequence
of crime Its effects cannot but be in
some way felt, though by Gods mercy it
may be forgiven. Early Days.

bat on his head 1t was an easy hat and

and customary for deacons to do. He
inally reached the porch and stopped for
his hat, aud any respectable citizen can
imagine the horror he experienced on
beholding but one hat left, and that a
most dilapidated al d scandalous lookng
article.
lie coald feel his blood boil within
him as he looked at 1t, and thought of
the mutton head who owned it, and had
walked off with his glossy beaver instead.
lie said out loud that the owner of that
hat was mutton head, and ground his
deaccnish heel into the floor and felt
much relieved by so doing.
Then he tied handkerchief about his
head, because the old hat was much too
even il flesh aud blood had not revotcd
against the spectacle. He told the sex
ton that that hat must have been built in
a dry dock, and The only thing that
troubled him in the matter was, how a
man with head Of that size got into the
church anyhoy.
Then he stalkcd majcstically home

forming spectacle that fastened the at
