A Good Wife's Influence
THE END.

A AjudiciOus wifeis always nipping
off from her husbands moral ma
ture little twigs that are growing
in wrong directions. She keeps
him in shape by continual pruning.
The wisest things a man CON-
monty does are those which his
wife cOunsels him to do. A wife
is a grand wielder of the moral
pruuing-knife.
If Johnson's wife had lived,
there would have been no boarding
up of orange peel, no touching all
the posts in walking along the
streets, no eating and drinking
with q disgusting voracity. If
Oliver Goldsmith had been married
he never would have worn that
memorable and ridiculous coat.
Whenever you find a man whom
You know little about, oddly dress
ed, or talking absurdly, or exhi-
biting eccentricity of manner, you
may be sure that he is not a
married man, for the corners are
rounded off-the little shoots pared
away-in married men.

Pearls of Thought

We sleep, but the loom OF life
never stops; and the pattern which
was weaving when the sun went
down is weaving when it comes up
tomorrow.
lost wealth may be replaced by
industry, lost knowledge by study,
lost health by medicine; but lost
time is gone forever.
He who seldom speaks, and
with one calm, well.timed VOID
can strike dumb the loquacious rs
a genius or a hero.
Patience, without energy, is
nothing more than a respectable
kind OF laziness.
Misers are always prating about
their liberality; those who give,
and love to do it, never mention
it.
There are more who fall from
want of will than want of power;
impossible things are rare.
Wounds given to honor never
heal.
Every great passion is but a pro-
longed hope.
Surely happiness is reflective,
like the light of heaven; and every
countenance bright with smiles
and glowing with innocent enjoy
ment is a mirror transmitting to
others the rays Of a supreme aud
ever.smiling benevolence.
The pith of conversation docs
not consist in exhibiting our own
superior knowledge on matters Of
small consequence, but in enlarg-
ing, improving, and correcting the
information you possess by the au-
thority of others.
He that hath pity on another
man S sorrow shall be free from it
himself; and he that delighteth in
scorneth the misery Of another,
shall at one time or another fall
into the same gnlf.
There cannot live a more I'm.
happy creature than an ill-natured
old man, who is neither capable of
receiving pleasures, nor sensible OF
doing them to others.

GOOD LUCK.-It requires quite
a long time for a man to get a

which to pay for my license. That

A reporter on a paper wrote the
following accOuntofhis hated rivals
marriage: "The bride was radiant
in a beautiful lavender silk dress,
with orange wreath and six-button
No. 0 kid gloves, slightly burst in
the thumbs. The groom was as
straight as a black cloth suit,
by the best tailor,
could make him, and as red in the
face as was consistent with pair
of boots two sizes too small and a
No. 13 collar encircling this manly
16 1.2 inch neck. Fortunately,
before the ceremony was over,

saved him from strangulation.
