world and man is dreadfullY mortal.
Let us take him just as he is and not as
he ought to be. In the first place heis
very weak. The wife must spend the
first two years in discovering these
weaknesses, count them on her fingers
and learn them by heart. The fingers
of both hands will not be too many.
Then let her study up these weaknesses
with a mesh for every one, and the Sc

and good things generally and reach his
heart through his stomach. Is he fond
of flattery about his looks? Let her
study the dictionary for sweet words if
hear her talk about his brilliant intel
lect? Let her pore over the encyclo-
pedia to give variety to the depths of
her admiration. Flattery is good
thing to study up at all hazards, in all
its delicate shades, but it must be skill.

coax him away will not do it absurdly.

let her be bright and tidy; that is
half the victory. Next, let her bang
her hair, metaphorically, and keep up
with the times. A husband who sees
his wife look like other people is not
going to consider her 'broken down."
Though it is common sheer that q wo-
man has admitted that her sex, in mar
rying, consider more the tastes of her
friends than her own. yet it must be
considered ludicrous that man looks
at his wife with the same eyes that 9TH
er people do. Is he fond of literary
matters? Listen to him with wide open
eyes when he talks of them. A man
doesn't so much care for literary wife
if she will only be literary enough to
appreciate him. If she have literary
inclinations keep them to herself.
Men love to be big and great to their
wives. That's the reason why help

Then, woman, this is not for you; cease

Another important fact is, don't be too
good; it hurts his feelings and becomes
monotonous. Cultivate pleasant

wife, keep from trying any of these
things on any mortal man but your
own. These rules are only evolved to

Some Englishmen Abroad.
To English gentlemen resident in
America nothing is more CALLING than
the misconduct of too many of the
''swell'' English visitors. A very prom

New York Union club complained to
me bitterly of the behavior of some of
the young Englishmen admitted there.

at Newport. Lord M. gave a check
for considerable sum, which was re-

seem worse than ever. Some of those
who went west as guests in the party
OF Mr.. Hatch seem to have outraged all
decency; and very severe reflections
are made, especially on the two young
descendants of our eminent law-lords,
which they should surely, for their own
credit, refute if they can.
Comment is made, too, of the pre-
posterous airs which some English and
Irishmen give themselves on the At
lantic steamers. Lord H. (the identi-
