A WORD TO HUSBANDS.

A lady friend having copied the fol-
lowing from the Southern Churchman,
asks us to re-publish it. We do so with
pleasure, because we are in full accord
with the sentiment expressed. We have
never been able TO understand why ten
der lovers should ever be transformed
into morose, exacting husbands, or Jeal-
ous inattentive wives. If both parties
would keep their eyes open before con-
tracing marriage, and afterwards exer-
else good sense and forbearance with
proper attention TO each other, there
would be fewer unhappy marriages. and
the honeymoon would never wane.
There is no reason why man should
not show the same delicate attentions
to GOOD wife that he did to the fond
sweetheart, but abundant and weighty
reasons why he should. Mairimony
should be, and is, with many silken
cord that birds two willing hearts, and
never chafes. But to the article in
question:
Don't you think wien you have won
a wife, that You have won a slave?
Has your wife less feeling than your
sweetheart ? Her nature has not
changed
Don't be gruff and rude towards her.
Had you been that sort of fellow be-
fore marriage, she might have had a
better lot.
Don't make your wife feel that she is
an incumbrance. What she needs give,
as if it were pleasure.
Don't think that the loving, trusting
woman you promise to love and PRO
TECT, has become your servant.
Don't think that board and clothes is
a sufficient return for all your wife does
for you.
If You do, then do rot wonder that
your wife is not so cheerful as she used
10 be. That the glad smile has left her
brow. The bright color has left heI
cheeks. The light, sprnging step has
changed to one slow aud heavy.
Husband, do YOU not remember OF
TEN having given her STONE, as II
were, when she longed for tood-how
long, alas has tha: poor heart beer
aching with hunger--heart hungry
how many have felt its pangs.
Ali thou hast wooed and won gen
tie heart-aye more-thou hast tram
pied it to dust. &c TO work then hus
band, for this year-think of wife
speak more tenderly to her. What
glorious work for you to accomplish
bring back bright smiles, WARM kisses
and Heaven will be ours.

A RIVER YARN.

There is a steamboat Captain that
sails ship on the La Belle Riviere,
familiarly known by his friends as the
''Old Pirate" who is very fond of spin
ming yarns. Among others, we have
heard him relate the following:
"When | was about fifteen, | made
trip on keelboat to Nashville. Walk
ing back across the country with crew
of FIVE men with myself, one evening
we came to dwelling just at dark, and
on requesting to be allowed to stay all
night, was told by the lady OF the house
that it would be impossible tor her to
accommodate US, as her husband had
just died that evening, and there was no
one but herself and two children there.
Our Captain told her she need not put
herself to any trouble on our account, as
We had provisions, and all we asked was
shelter; furthermore, that she could re-
tire, and we would take times in watch
inc by the corpse. She finally consent
ed to let us stay, and as she had lost
considerable sleep, retired to an adjoin-
ing room gu te early. The men were
divided into three watches, placing on
the middle or midnight watch young
man that was very foud of practical
Joking, and another that was notorl-
Gus braggart, and had frequently said
that he wasn't afraid OF the devil him
self He was also regular sleepy-head,
and within fifteen minutes after going
on watch, was snoring away like a
Pittsburgh towboat Number one saw
chance to play joke, aud OF course
could not resist the temptation. SO
quietly raising up the dead man, who
was as stiff as a poker, he stood him up
against the wall, and to heighten the
effect placed lighted stogie in his
mouth. Then taking a seat beside the
sumbering watcher he also pretended
10 sleep, and would fa!l over and nudge
his comrade until he finally woke the
man, who, slowly Strengthened up,
opened his eyes and caught sight OF the
shrouded dead. With his eyes staring
from their sockets he gave one yell, and
springing TO his feet, went through the
window, making necktie OF the sash.
His yell, of course, aroused everybody,
and the way they leaked out of the
house by the windows and door wasn't
slow now, you bet.
The widow, hearing the uproar, came
rushing out 10 see what was the matter.
She came, she saw, and with shrek
she went through the door like greas
ed streak of lightning.
| awoke in time to see the romance
of her night-dress disappear in the dark
ness. Jumping to my feet, l took IN
the situation at glance, and the way
picked 'em up and laid 'em down fol
about two hundred yards would have
done credit to Goldsmith Maid. The
cause of all this disturbance, as soon a!
the house was vacated, slipped in ano
placed the corpse as it was before, then
calling his comrades, they searched fol
aud found the woman, and finally made
her believe it was an optical illusion
but there was no more sleeping done II
that house that night.
