TO PERSONS ABOUT TO
MARRY.

There IS no rule which philosophers
car devise for choosing either hus-
bsnds or wives wisely that has very
much effect, for the ycung co not
trust the old upon that subject, and
choice, for women especially, is by no
means so free as we all affect to be-
lieve. Not one women in fifty, unless
she is for some Teason--such as for
tune. rank, or beauty-a great
'catch," has anything like a real pow
er Of selection among admirers; and
even when she has, she often gives it
away in obedience 10 IL passing, possi-
hly sensible. possibly laundering,
fancy that she has found an ideal.
But we should have said there were
broad rules still worth teaching, be-
cause they had some chance of being
| believed. and they were these: let the
woman's first requisite he man
whose home will be to him rest, and
the mans first object he woman who
can make hone restful. 1t is the man
with many interests,with engrossing
occupation. with plenty of people to
fight, with struggle to maintain
against the world, who is the really
domestic man, in the wife's sense.
who enjoys home, who is tempted to
make friend If his wife, who loves
, children's prattlc. who feels in the
, small ci:cle where nobody is above
him and nobody unsympathetic with
+ him, as if he were in heaven of ease
and reparation.

4 TRUE GEM.

Here is little waif that has just star
ted out on the sea of journalism after a
rest of years. The Old and the young
will see and feel its beauty alike:
met her, she was thin and old.
She stopped and trod with toitering feet,
Her locks were gray that once were gold.
Her voice was harsh that once was
sweet;
Her cheeks were sunken and her eyes,
Robbed of their girli<h light of joy.
Were dim; l felt a strange surprise
That had loved her when a boy.
But yet something in her air
Restored me to my youthful prime;
My heart grew young AID seemed to wear
The impress of that long lost time;
took her wilted hand in mine.
<gExtouCil awoke a world of JOY;
L kissed her with reverend sigh,
For l had loved her when 10y!

CLovEE.-Gernane experiments and
tests demonstrate that clover upon an
acre Of land is found to have nitrogen
enough for 1l6 bushels of wheat, phos-
phnric acid enough for Ia bushels,
and potash enough for seventy eight
bushels, left in the best condition for
ase. Whether the nitrogen ccme from
the soil or the atmosphere. it seems
thus practically to be the producer
of nitrogen in the coil, as it is an Ell.
cient purveyor of potash and phospor-
! ic acid.

The Home journal objects to
the wearing of diamonds when trav-
elling because it is vulgar. 1t is a
position which we assumed years
ago, and we are glad to say that
no one connected with this paper
has ever been guilty of such vnl-
garity. We have occasionally
taken ride with a lawyer, bu,
there are some depths to which We
cannot sink.

GROWING OLD.-It is the solemn
:hought connected with middle life
that lifc's last business is begun in
earnest; and it is then midway be
tween the cradle and the grave,
that man begins to marvel that he
let the day of youth 60 by so halt
unioyed. 1t is the pensive antum
feeling; it is the sensation of halt
that we experience when the long
est day of the year is past, aud every
day that follows is shorter, aud the
light fainter and the feeble shadows
tell the nature is Fastening with
gigantic footsteps to her winter.
So does man look back upon his
youth. When the first gray hairs
become visible, when the unwel-
come truth fastens itself upon the
mind that man is no longer go
ing up hill but down, and that the
sun is always westering, he look.
back on things behind. When W.
were children we thought as chill
dren. But now there lies before III
manhood, with its earnest work
and then old age, and then tn,
grave, and home. There is a secon,
youth for man, better and holie
than the first, if he will look on
and net look back.
