brightness of her looks and move
ments infects every one. The child

thing great to be achieved; her hus-
band goes into the world in a con-
queror's spirit. No matter how peo-
pie annoy and worry him all day, far
off her presence shines, and he whis-
pers to himself. cat home I shall
find rest" So day by day she liter
ally renews his strength and sner-
gy, and if you know man with q
beaming face, a kind heart and pros
porous business, in nine cases out Of
ten you will find he has a wife of this
kind.

CoLoRED SrARcH-Is the latest and
greatest novelty of the season in
London. 1t is made in pink, buff,
the new mauve, and a delicate green,
and blue will soon be produced.
Any article starched with the new
preparation is completely colored-
dyed we should have said, but as it
washes out, and the garment that
was pink to-day may be green to-
morrow and buff afterward, we can
hardly say "dyed." 1t is intended
especially for those bright, but
treacherously colored muslins that
are costly, wash out, and perplex
their owners. If the pattern has
been mauve, they only need the
mauve starch; if green, green starch;
and they con be rendered one even
and pretty shade, thus becoming not
only wearable again, but very stylish.
White anti-macassars, or lace cur
tains, may also be colored in the
same way, and infinite variety af-
forded. The inventor has a patent
for it.

LOOK ON THE CHEERFUL SDE.-It is
a great misfortune to have a fretful
disposition. It takes the fragrance
out of ones life, and leaves only
weeds where a cheerful disposition
would cause flowers to bloom. The
habit of fretting is one that grows
rapidly unless sternly repressed; and
the best way to overcome it is to try
always to look on the cheerful side
of things.
