THE WIFE MAKES THE HUSBAND.-1
remember we'll a couple with whom l
was for years on terms of closest intima-
cy. The husband was q gentleman of
Gods creation. He filled with honor an
important Office under the United States
Government; he had large private for
tune which he spent generously on his
family, for he desired above all things
their happiness, His wife was young,
beautiful, and had been raised by his
love from a life Of bitter poverty and
toll. She had splendid home, a devo-
ted husband, and four fine sons and
daughters. Her power over her hus-
band was very great, and not the weak
est LOT her weapons was this sqlky, fearful,
injured silence. But she had no tact, she
strained the bow too far and it snapped.
| shall never forget the months of misery
preceding their final separation.
And III society he bore all the blame.
Was his wife not strictly virtuOus? Was
she nOta careful and conscientious moth
er; an acknowledged beauty and pat
tern housekeepery What then did he
want? He answered them as an old Ro-
man did on a similar occasion. Stoop-
ing down, he loosened his shoe, inquir-
ing, Z" Is it not new? Isitnot we'll made
Yet none of you can tell where it pinches
me- That is just the kind of misery.
Try il you can bear a pinching shoe
month after month, year after year-yet
it is not SO irritating as sulky woman.
Husbands as a general rule are what
wives make them. # woman com
plains to me of an unsympathizing hus-
band [ listen with closed mouth, and
closed heart too. do not indeed deny
but what there are men too utterly bad
for any woman to influence; but men do
not become bad, sour and spoiled by
some sudden lightning stroke-all at
once. A woman of any penetration
must. see suspicious circumstances in
such before marriage, and people who
run risks voluntarily ought not to ex-
pect immunity from consequences, And
it the man was good man when she
married him, and grew bad under her
management, and in her society, she
cannot be altogether blameless. Depend
upon it there are as many ill-used hus-
bands as wives, only the former keep q
stiff upper lip about their mistake, and
the latter bring theirs before the foot
lights and ask the world to cry with them.

I" An effeminate man." says a recent
writer, els a weak poultice. He is O.
cross between table beer and ginger
pop, with the cork left out; fresh-wa-
ter mermaid found in q cow-pasturc.
with her hands filled with dandelions.
He is tea-cup full of syllabub; O. kit
ten in trowsers; a sick monkey with q
blonde moustache. He is vine with
out any tendrils; a fly drowned in oil
q paper-kite in dead calm. He lives
like butterfly-nobody can tell why.
He is as harmless as q penny worth of
sugar candy, and as useless as a shirt
button without hole. He is as lazy as
years summer-fly. He goes through
life on tip-toe, and dies like cologne
water split over the ground.O

The celebrated DR.. Sydenham had q
patient whom he had long prescribed
for. At last Sydenham Acknowledged
that his skill was exhausted-that he
could not pretend to advise him any
farther. "But" said he, "there is q DR..
Robinson who lives at Inverness lin the
north of ScOtland), who is much more
skilled IN complaints of this kind than
am; you had better consult him. I
will provide You with letter of intro
ductlon, and hope you will return
much better" The patient was q man
of fortune, and soon took the road;
but travelling was very different un-
dertaking then to what it is now, and
a journey from London to Inverness
was not q trit1ing one. He arrived,
however, at tho place of destination;
but no DR.. Robinson was to be found,
nor haG any one OF that name ever been
ID the town. This of course enraged the
gentleman very much, and he took the
road back to London, raging, and VOW
ing vengeance on the doctor. On his
arrival ne vented all his rage ON the
latter, and abused him for sending hinl
2 journey of SO many miles for nothing.
When his fury was a little abated,
Well, now said Sydenham, "after all,
is your health any better ?" "Better,1
said he Eyes, sir, it is better! / am as
we'll as | ever was in my life; but no
thanks to you for that" "Well," said
Sydenham, "you have still reason to
thank DIR. Robinson. | wanted to send
you a journey with an object in view.
[ knew it would do You good; in going
you had DR.. Robinson in contempla-
ton, and in returning yeu were equally
busy Ii thinking Of scolding me.,"

Near Worcester an old man had been
in town, and, imbibing freely, was re-
turning home i'll his wa gon, and, losing
his reckoning, permitted his horse to
ia Ike the railroad track. Jogging along
leisurely, it was not long before train
of cars overlook him, and the locomo-
tive striking the wagon sent the old
man "fluking" and killed the horse,
without, however, injuring the man.
The train was stopped, and the con-
ductOr returned to ascertain the dam
age. As he approached the scene of
the accident he inquired of the old man
it he was much hurt. "Hurt ~ he replied.
" No; but I'd like to know what YOU

him for her want of economy.

band, delighted with her submission,
