Two Ways of Describing a
Husband.

A married lady, compelled to show he
letters to her husband, sent the following
to friend:
| cannot be satisfied my dearest friend,
blest as am in the matrimonial state,
unless pour into your friendly bosom,
which was always in unison with mine,
tie various sensations which swell
with the liveliest emotions of pleasure,
my almost burning heart. My dear
husband is the most amiable Vi, men.
l have been married seven weeks and
have never found the least reason to
repent the act, as my husband is
in person and manners unlike the
ugly, cross, disagreeable, and Jealous
men, who think by confnipg to secure.
A wife it IS his maxim to treat as
bosom friend and companion, not as
menial, slave, or anything the woman
Of his choice---Neither party,
he says, should always obey implicitly,
but yield to each other in turns.
An ancient maiden aunt, near seventy,
cheerful, venerable and kind old lady,
is staying with uS---she is the de.
light of both young and old; she is els
vii to all the neighbors around,
generous and charitable to the poor.
My husband likes nothing better
than ne does me he fatters me more
than the glass and his intoxication
(for so | call tue excess of his lore)
makes me blush for the unworthiness
of Its object, | wish | was deserving
of the man whose name | bear. To
say all in one word to
crown the whole my former love
is now my own husband, my fondness
is returned, and might have had
1prince, without the felicity find in
him, \dleu ! be you as blcst as I'm un.
able to wish that | could be more
happy.

Saving is Wealth.

One great cause of the poverty Of the
present day IS the failure of our people
to appreciate small things. They do not
realize how a daily addition, be it ever so
small, will soon make a large pile. If
the young men and young women of to.
day will only begin, and begin now to
save little from their earnings and plant
it in the soil of some good savings bank,
and weekly or monthly add their mite,
they will wear a happy smile of compe>
tence when they reach middle life. Not
only the desire but the ability to in>
crease it will also grow.
Let clerk and tradoSmen, laborer and
artisan. make now and and at once be-
ginning. Store up some of your youth
full force and vigor for future contingency.
Let parents teach their children to begin
early to save. Begin at the fountain
head to control the stream Ct extrava
gauce-to choose between poverty and
riches. Let eur youth 60 on in habits of
extravaganza for fifty years to come as
they have fer ifty years past, and we
shall have nation Of beggars, with a
moneyed aristocracy. Let a generation
of such as save in small sums be reared,
and we shall be free from all want. Do
not be ambitious for extravagant fortune,
but do seek that which is the duty Of
every one to obtain, independence and a
comfortable home.-Wealth, aud enough
of it, is within the reach of all. 1t is
obtainable by one process, and by one
only-saving.

LIKE A CHILD.

louis Chandler Moulton,in Harper's Magazine
Playing there in the sun,
Chasing the butterflies,
Catching his golden toy,
Holding it fast till it dies:
Sin. ing TO match the birds,
Calling the robins at will
Glancing here and there,
Never moment still
Like child.
Going'to school, at last,
Learning to read and write,
Puzzled over his slate,
Busy from morn till night,
Striving to win prize,
Careless when il is won,
Finding his JOY in the strife,
Not in the thing that's done.
Busy in eager trade.
3uying and selling again,
Chasing a col Zen prize,
Glad of transient gain;
Always beginning anew,
Never the long task o'er,
Just as it used to be
The butterfly before.
Seeking woman's heart,
" inning it for his own,
Then, too busy for love,
Letting it turn to stone,
Sure of his plightcd truth,
What more had wife to ask2
Is he not doing for her
Each day his daily task?
A child, to pine and complain
A child, to grow so pale
For want of some foolish words
Shall Il wOman'S faith fail?
Words he said then once
What need ofan thing more?
Does one who has entered room
Go back and wait at the door?
Baby Mary and Kate
Never can climb his knee
Mothcrly arms are open
Father is busy, you sec."
Too busy to stop to hear
A babblc of broken talk,
TO mend the jumpingrjaek
Or make the new doll walk.
SO busy that when Death comes
He pleads for little delay,
If not to finish his work,
At least Il word to say
A word to wife and child.
A scnteLcc to tell the truth,
That he loves them now, at the last,
With the passionate heart of youth
The kisses of Death are cold,
And they turn his lips to stonej
Out of the warm, bright wWld
The man goes all alone,
Do angels wait for him there
Over the soundlesS sea?
He goes, as he came, h0lpless wight
To new worlds mystery
Like Il child
