Husband and Wife at Home.

As the home life is almost entirely in
the hands of the woman for direction, as

to her our paper applies. If the wife has
been brought up in home where there

are many long hours in her dav. and
these must be filled to the utmost or there

seek diversion by going to his place OF
business. whatever it may be, and detain-

If you are 80 fortunate as to be able to go
to the counting-room or Office and talk
over perplexities. do that, but if your
husband be employed by others, remem

Women. specially. are quick to see the

her one day that until she had learned the frs,
twelve letters she would have no desert. The
first Thing the child did was to pour out her
troubles to grandpaps. ever ready to listen,
but on this occasion poweress TO Interfere.
However. to tighten the privaton of his little
darling, he proposed to her that thew should
suffer together he would touch no dessert
as long As she had to abstain. Jeanne ap-
proved the arrangement For many DAYS

But one evening, Jeanne having gone TO bed
before dinner. a certain kind of cheese. of
which he was particularly fond was placed
upon the table. The savory odor assailed
his nostrls. and Hugo had almost broken his
engagement, when he suddenly remembered
the solemn promise made to the child, and
checked himself, much to the amazenent of
his dsughterin-lsw, Jeanne's mother The

Lincoln as a Congressman

Elihu B. Washburne, our late Minis
ter to France, in an article entitled
abraham Lincoln in Illinois," pub
lished in the North american Ree:eW
for October, thus speaks of the mar
tyred President at the period of his
election to Congress:
MIR. Lincoln took his seat in Congress
on the first Monday in December, 1S47.
He sat in the old hall
of the House of Representatives, and
for the long session was SO unfortunate
as to draw one of the most undesirable
seats in the hall. He participated but
little in the active business of the
House, and made the personal acquaint-
ance of but few members. He was at
tentive and conscientious in the dis
charge of his duties, and followed the
course of legislation closely. When he
took his seat in the House. the CAM
paign of 1S49 for President was just
opening.
l was again in Washington part of the
Winter of 1S49 CATER the election of
Gen. Taylor), and saw much of Mr..
Lincoln. A small number of mutual
Notwithstanding Mr.. Lincoln-made
up party to attend the Inauguration
bail together. it was by far the most
brilliant Inauguration ball ever given.
OF course, Mr.. Lincoln had never seen
anything of this kind before. One OF
the most modest and unpretending
persons present, he could not have
dreamed that like honors were to come
to him almost within little more than
a decade. He was greatly interested
in all that was to be seen, and we did
not take our departure until three OF
four o'clock in the morning. When
we went to the cloak and hat room,
Mr.. Lincoln had no trouble in finding
his short cloak, which little more than
covered his shoulders, but after a long
search was unable to find his hat. At
ter an hour he gave up all ideas OF
finding it. Taking his cloak on his arm
he walked out into Judiciary Square,
deliberately adjusting it on his should
ers, and started off bareheaded for his
lodgings. 1t would be hard to forget
the sight of that tall and slim man.
with his short cloak thrown over his
shoulders, without any hat on, starting
Tor his long walk home on Capital Hill
at 4 o clock in the morning. And this
incident is akin to one related to me
by the librarian of the Supreme Court
OF the United States. Mr.. Lincoln
came to the library one day for the
purpose of procuring some law books
which he wanted to take to his room
for examination, Getting together all
the books he wanted, he placed them
in pile on a table. Taking a large
bandana handkerchief from his pocket,
he tied them up; and putting stick
which he had brought with him
through knot he had made in the
handkerchief, adjusting the package OF
books to his stick, he shouldered it,
and marched off from the library to
his room. In few days he returned
the books in the same way.
