What Man Expects Of a Wife.

A man expects his wife 20 De better THAI

the purity of soul that only a Christian
can have; and 10 a good man it IS usually
part Of his religion to believe that his wife
IS morally higher and nobIer than hImsaIf.

HUMOROUS EPIGRAMS.

Swift vindicated poets from aspersions
concerning their intelligence In the fol-
lowing lines. probably inspired by n sim
liar Quatrain In the French Of Sainte-
Marthe:
Sir. admit your general rule.
That every poet Is fool;
But you yourself may serve to show II.
That every fool Is not poet.
Pope was. probably. our greatest master
OF epigram. Here IL what he has to say
about the ordinary ruck of versiflers:
And moon-struck poets midnight vigils
keep,
sleepless themselves to give to others
sleep.
He himself did not escape being the sub
ject of tocular epigram. 1t being con-
sidered that he did not give sufficient
credit to Browne. who, as he admitted,
worked ten whole years with him" In
translating Homer's odyssey" a con-
temporary. John Henly, wrote:
pope came off clean with Homer; but,
they say,
Browne went before and kindly swept the
way"
In the way Of mock epitaphs we have
the still more severe one penned by Dry
den:
Here Hes my wife! here let her lie!
Now she's at rest, and SO am I.
ColeHdges reference to a vocalist was
even more personal:
Swans sing before they die; 'twere no bad
thing
Did certain persons die before they sing.
An unknown wit thus contemptuously
speaks Of opera:
Opera. like a pillory. may be said
To nail our ears down and expose our
head
And here Is Garrick's unkind estimate of
Sir John Hill. physician and dramatist:
For physic and farces his equal there
scarce is;
His farees are physic, his physic a farce

JUST ABOUT THE TRUTH.

From the Post-Express.
Nearly all the periodical writing In the
country is done by about score of people,
who have reputation and facility, and
who are called upon with unfailing regu-
larity to discuss all manner Of topics.
The literary devices, the opinions. the In
formation, of these old hacks are IA
milar to the great public which is utter
ly weary of them. An intelligent reader
who picks up a new magazine or q review
and finds paper by one of these mental,
moral, literary and political hash ma
chimes, seldom thinks of glancing at 1t.
He knows beforehand what it will con-
tain. He can tell precisely what statistics
will be set forth. what authorities will
be quoted, what fallicies will be used
and what lessons will be inculcated.
