German Wife.

a writer who has had the misfortune
10 witness the monotonous life of some
uIappreelated, meek German wife, ex-
plodes In the following condemnafory
style: 'Some writer says that German
reaIzes his idea of what a wife
should be. So much for himl 1 pity
the wife he chooses if she be an American
girl The German wife is virtuous, do
nnestc-rhow utterly and wearisomely
domestlci but is she happy? May a
vile not be both virtuous and happy? A
German wife is literally and wholly the
upper servant of the household, and is
SO regarded by her husband, for whom
she tolls faithfully, ironing his shirts,
cooking his dinner. meekly bringing her
accounts to him, ready to be rebIked if
her household expenditure exceeds in
the slightest the maximum he considers
proper; and this she does without com
mendatlon or reward-even the reward
OF ms conpanionship. What is the use
of her having been well educated, if her
husband cares nothing for her society,
and she has no leisure from household
duties for reading? 1t is true that she
IS perfectly contented with her life, and
desplse the notion of better one-but
oysters, [ suppose, are contented with
their fate. The attitude of the Ger
mans toward women measures their CIV
ilization, and by that standard they are

We would suggest that twelve jurors

n fixed and definite term. This jury
would travel about the circuit IN the
same manner as the Circuit Judge they

and. holding office by appointment,
would never decide for political pur-
noses. BY experience, such jury could
learn to sift the true from the false testi-
mony in almost every instance; by prac-

Puns and Epitaphs.

The words wit and humor are often,
think. strangely misapplied, many per
sons using them as synonyms, whilst
they are totally different. Wit should
he quick and instantaneous like the flash
ing of gunpowder bright aud sparkling
as champagne, and alasl sharp and in
cisive as a scalpel, though its keen blade
renders it rather repellant, and, for its
keenness, it appears to me an unsafe
tool for general use.
Humor, for the most part Is placid and
kindly, attractive and winning, and pOurs
from a warm, generous, sympathlzing
heart. Wit produces upon its hearers
sort of fascinating, though evanescent,
thrill; whilst humor calls forth full and
hearty response from every bosom.
When they are united, and the sharp
ness of wit Is softened by the gentleness
of humor, the combination becomes a
powerful weapon in the hands of a mas
ter When thus joined in a pun the eff
feet is irresistible.

pig" fame, was wont to say that "the
worst puns are the best" But how
