A Good Wife.

George Comte, the English phren-
ologist, soon after his marriage,
wrote TO his friend Lawrence Mac
donald, the sculptor:
81 am very, very happy, and have
found the reality of matrimonial
bliss 10 go far beyond my expecta-
tons. i have often told you that
with me fortune has always been
better than her promise. And i'm
this last instance she has kept true
to her previous character. Ny brain
was made for affection, and,although
1 was happy as a bachelor, there
was a vacuum which could not be
filed up-a desire that was not sat-
isfied. Ny dear pet wife, as l can
her, has dispelled all these wants
and filled the void in my affections
completely. Further, she possesses
that exquisite balance between in
tellect and sentiment, and that adj
mirlble soundness, both of judg-
ment and feeling, that render her
ever interesting to my faculties.
She loads me with a genuine, sim
gle-minded, warm affection. and
manifests a ceaseless interest in my
person, affairs and pursuits. There
is an ever-present delicacy, dignity,
tact and judgment in all that she
says and does which challenge my
highest esteem. / am thus gratified
in affection, delighted in intellect,
and not a little pleased in my feel
ings of ambition, to have ended in
obtaining so excellent a partner for
life. My enjoyment is enhanced by
seeing that 1 am really rendering
her happy slT

when TO Sell.

The producer will profit more in
the end by expecting, upon the ear
lest opportunity, a fair remunera-
tive for his products and making
immediate use of the money they
bring, rather than holding on for a
speculative rise, running the risk of
a heavy fall, and losing the use OF
the money in the meantime. An
exchange relates the Ease of a farmer
who made it a rule to turn his crops
into cash as soon as they were ready
for the market, whatever the price
may be. Sometimes he lost, but
more frequently gained, and expert
ence of thirty years convinced him
that he had made no mistake in ad-
herring to the rule. This case can
doubtless be offset with innumera-
BILE instances where farmers, by
waiting one, two or three months
later than their neighbors, have re-
allied extraordinary profits. But
no mans experience is uniform in
that direction; and it is true of
speculation in Wall street: the pro-
portion OF those who fail is ninety
to every ten who succeed.

TALK AT HOME. - Endeavor al
ways to talk your best before your
children. They hunger pe~rpetually
for the ideas. They will learn with
pleasure from the lips of parent
what they will deem drudgery to
study in books; and even if they
have the misfortune to be deprived
of many educational advantages.
they will grow up intelligent if they
enjoy in childhood the privilege of
listening daily to the conversation
of intelligent people. We some
times see parents who are the life
of every company they enter but
dull, silent and uninteresting at
home among their children. If they
have not mental activity and mental
stores sufficient for both, let them
first use what they have for their
households. A silent home is a dull
place for young people, a place
from which they will escape if they
can. How much useful information.
on the other hand, is often given i'm
pleasant family conversation, and
what unconscious but excellent
mental training in lively social ar
gument! Cultivate 10 the utmost
the graces of conversation.

The Kolcan Harp.

Measure the breadth of the win.
dow, or other position destined for
it, says HOrper's Bazaar, and make
q pine case TO fit il in length, five
inches wide, four inches deep, and
of quarter inch stuff. On the ex-
tremities of the top glue two pieces
of oak wood, about half an inch
and a quarter of an inch thick, for
bridges TO which the strings are to
be fixed into one of these fix seven
pegs, such as are used for piano
strings, into the other fasten the
same number of small brass pins,
and to these fasten one end of the
graduated strings, made of catgut,
sucl as are used for guitar aud vio-
lin strings, and twist the other end
round the pegs. Within the box at
each end glue two pieces of beech
or other such wood, about an inch
square and the width of the box, on
which to rest the sounding-board-
a thin board with a hole cut in the
centre; place over the top another
thin board, supported on four pegs,
and about three inches from the
sounding-board, to procure a free
passage of air ver the strings.
Where possible, afix the harp in a
window having another window
opposite to it. When exposed to a
current of air, and the strings are
attuned i'm unison, with the varying
force of the current, the melody
changes from soft low sounds and
diatonic scales, 10 wild but delight
full and harmonious notes. Hidden
in some grotto or shady nook, the
effect of its sweet sounds is pecu-
liarly delightful. The cases for
these harps may be either extremely
simple or deliberately elegant; but
for the dwelling we would recon-
mend a pretty pine wood case,
adorned with spray-work, cutting a
monogram for each side, with ira
Gerry of ferns and sprays, and a bor-
der of ivy leaves. Or, making a
walnut case, decalcomanie designs
may be effectively applied; or
white-wood with paintings in India
ink and sepia, or oil or water-cOlor,
will be charming ; while, for outside
use, rustic ornaments are most APP
propriate, and form lovely objects.
The pictures from Egyptian vases
and other ancient designs, as N.Y.
biological characters, figures from
books of travel, taken from relies,
etc, ancient Grecian, Chinese, and
japanese art with borders of curl
ous conventional, vegetable, and
animal forms, will form proper en-
bellishments for such cases.

A Very Unjust Custom.

"James is naturally smart, and
we are going 20 give him an educa-
ton, perhaps make a lawyer or
minister of him." George don't
seem TO get along well with his
books-is rather dull-and we shall
make q farmer of him." We have
heard talk just like this, and the
majority of people. act upon this
principle, says the American Agri-
c~ulturist. 1t is rank cruelty-rank
injustice, at any rate. Ii is giving
TO the rich, and Withholding from
the poor. If through the fault OF
his parents, or otherwise, George is
less endowed with intellectual gifts,
he should have all the more done
for him to make up any natural
defect, by culture, by discipline, by
exercise of the mind, aud thus place
him upon a par with his more gifted
brother. If a youth dislikes arith-
metic, or any particular branch of
study or thinking, il shows a def
cheney in that faculty, which culture
and study should make up, and thus
produce a well balanced mind. We
abominate the whole system of
elective studies," now so popular
in some schools and colleges, which
allows a scholar to mainly cultivate
those mental powers, in which he
is already most proficient. A rigid
course of diverse study planned to
develope uniformly the various fac
ulties Of the mind, is-the n which
will turn out the best and most USE
full men. After a good general
groundwork is thus laid, and the
thinking faculties are well and uni
formly developed, the final study
may be directed 10 some specific
line, that will he required in a par
ticular business, or professional
life.

Aphorisms from Rothe.
TRANSLATED BY C. C. s..


lContinued.l
What else is the work of Christ,
than this, that he actually brings into
effect the Idea, after which aud to
which God has created Man?
How surprising it appears to us,
that i'm Jesus we find so absolutely
nothing of Contempt of man!
If il is to be, in the strict sense,
possible that God should be lored
by us, lie must become one Of oar
| race, a Human Individual.
Before Christ we had heard of
God, in Christ we have seen him.
Only do not compel Christ to
conceal from Us that God whom it
is His will to reveal and set forth
to us.
God reveals himself by causing
the Sun (the view of him. to appear
for mankind in the armament, not
by promulgating q calendar for
mankind.
The Sun Of Revelation stands IN
HedreR. This is the main thing.
1t gives light for all the world, even
for those who do not know that it
is Revelation.
The book of Daniel is the Apo
calypso of the Old Testament, and
rice UeTSd.
The Bible was not written to fur
nish texts for sermons.
1t is involved i'm the essence of
PrOtestanism, not TO limit itself to
the Bible in regard to Christian
knowledge, but to view the schOle
cOTId, of Nature and History, as a
source of knowledge.
Where else than in the New Tes-
lament is there an absolutely chdste,
that is, an absolutely maize and un-
affected representation of Christian
piety?
/ find more and more, that men
use the Scripture wonderfully little
for the end to which il is intended.
but think TO make amends by using
il all the more to an end for which
ii is not intended.
1t is not just the same, whether
you say: | believe that [ am recon-
ciled with God, because the Holy
Scripture says SO,-or whether you
say: | believe the very same thing,
because this Jesus Christ says so.
Faith a never bring with It re-
ligious salvation except as in a Per-
son, never as saith in a Thing.
Reward is not Pay. Even in hui
man relations Reward is inconsist-
ent with a legal claim.
To be WOrthy of something is not
the same as to deserve it. The truth
that we have no merit before God,
does not imply that we may not be
OcOrthy before God, that is, before
his holy Grace.
The most important means Of vir-
tue (means of grace is the morally
developed Commonwealth.
1t is Gods perpetual fate, in his
activity in Man, to be misunder-
stood.
o! how well is it with man., when
he hearkens to God.
To have a God is in erery sense
of the word a costly thing. Many a
one counts the price of it too dear.
Happy for us, that where oar
thoughts end, those of God have
not yet found their goal!
Most men find their lives pattern
ed out in a way, such as they would
never have allowed themselves to
dream of.
The Christian looks upon the the
atre of his past as upon harvest
fields, not as upon battle-fields and
ruins.
