Your Wife's Claims.

You are a man of business, and have
no time to show attention to You wife
few opportunities to converse with her;
at least, you make few. She submits to
this unsocial state of things because she
must; but is she happy? Probably not; I;
no woman likes to be considered n ci.
pher. Your wife ought to be your best
adviser. She ought to be your most
confidential counsellor. The self-con-
ceit of men amounts to a genius. There
are many husbands who would as soon
think of taking advice of their children
as of their wives. But it is only the
fool who is too wise to seek counsel.
Awoman, you say, knows very little about
business; nevertheless her intuition is
often wiser than q mans Judgment.
Your wife is your partner. You have
earned the money, but she has saved
and sacrificed and pinched and worried
and worked to help accumulate it. She
has done her fair share toward making
your property what it Is. She has
right to be consulted how it shall be
used. A double right has she to have
her judgments weighed and measured
in all questions relating to the disposi-
tion of the family, and the training and
culture of the children. Talk to your
wife on all occasions. When you come
home at night, tired with the cares of
the day, to find her equally fatigued,
bring to her the news of the day; bring
the latest, freshest thought. In buying
your evening paper, or subscribing for
your monthly magazine, or renewing
your religious weakly, get what suits
her needs and meets her tastes. There
is more in that patient, quiet, silent
wife of yours than you think; do not
freeze her very individuality by your
practical contempt of women.

THE MISSION OF THE TIDES.

Loud laughed the river as it sped,
With fairy fountains at its head,
The bread sea at its feet
But sullenly 1t dashed and swept
Passed the rough rock, whose shadow erept
Across the waters feet.
A little rock, unshaped and bare
No moss, no grasses clustered there
But yet q sturdy boy
launched there his boat, and loved the spot,
And built thereon a mimic cot
work Of pride and joy.
"Poor rock. the tides will buffet thee
And time will bleach thine head said he.
And so the years went by,
The boy had heightened to man,
But past the rock the river ran,
And laughed against the sky.
And now the man was worn and old,
But still the river, bright and bold,
Dashed downward to the sea
But now the little rock was fair,
For earth and moss found lodgment there,
And rustling greenery.
So the man passed, and noted we'll
That smiling spot amidst the swell
OF waters broad and high
And unused thereon Ave stand and wait,
while times and tides shape out our fate,
Beneath friendly sky"
Patience and hope the tides are strong,
But bear they not Gods gifts along
Upon their currents widel
And in the end when time is dead,
And Gods good work is perfected,
We shall be satisfied.

A CURIOUS CALcULAr1oN.-A rapid
penman can write thirty words in
minute. To do this he must draw his
quill through the space Of rod-six-
teen feet and half. In forty minutes
his pen travels furlong, and in five
hours and third, mile. We make,on
an average, sixteen curves or turns Of
the pen in writing each word. Writ
ing thirty words in o minute, we must
make four hundred and eighty-eight
TO each second; in an hour twenty
eight thousand eight hundred; in
day of only FIVE hours, one hundred
and forty-four thousand; and in year
of three hundred days, forty-three
million two hundred thousand. The
man who made Q million strokes with .
pen in q month was not at all remark
able. Many men make four million.
Here We have, in the aggregate, marx
three hundred miles long, 10 be traced
on paper by each writer in year. In
making each letter Of the ordinary al
phabet, we must make from three 70
seven strokes Of the pen-on an average
three and . half 10 four.

The TINE TO ADvERTIsE.-Wh is the
proper season for advertising is an i'm
portant question for advertisers. There
are various opinions on this subject, but
the opinion Of the most successful and
systematic advertisers is, that persistent
advertising altoays pays, and that much
is Lost, both in reputation and profit, by
a cessation of advertising at any par
ticular season.
The primary object of advertising is,
to enlighten the public on the merits Of
the articles or business advertised, and
q suspension of advertising is apt to ap-
pear to the public in the light of vfr-
tual surrender Of the battle and relin
quishment of competition with rivals
By being judicious in his advertising
and his choice OF mediums for advertis-
ing, man can so arrange his expendf
ture as to enable him to maintain Q
respectable amount of advertising
throughout the year and the results viii
be satisfactory in all cases where dis
cretion and experience are combined
Careless advertising cannot prove val
liable, but careful advertising tsiH Let
q man exercise the same amount Of dis
cretion and caution in advertising that
he would in any other branch Of his
business, and he will have no reason TO
complain of the results.-Apleriean
Journalist

THE remains of balloon have just
been found on the coast of Iceland. In
the car were some human bones forming
an incomplete skeleton, and q leather
travelling bag, in . very bad condition,
containing papers SO deteriorated py
wet that the writing could not be deci-.
phered. A conjecture is formed that
this is the balloon in which Price as
cended during the siege OF Paris, being
the only one that was not accounted for.
No doubt the balloon has been in the
clouds ever since.
