there are two ways Of governing family
the first is by expression Of that will that be-
longs to force the second, by the power of
mildness, to which even strength will yield.
When husband accustoms himself to saw

2. Avoid unnecessarily contradicting your
wife. When we smell at a rose, It is to i'm
bibe the sweetness of its odor; we likewise
look for anything that is aIniable in man.
Whoever is often contradicted feels au insen-
sible aversion for the person who contradicts.


.. Never take upon yourself to be CEN
sor upon your wife's morals, nor read lee
lures to her, except aiiectionately. Let your
preaching be a good example, and practice
virtue YOURSELF to make her in love with it.


J. Command her attention by being al
ways attentive to her; never exact anything
from her that you would not be willing that
she should require from you appear always
tiattered by the little she does for you, which
will excite her to kind offices.


3. All women are vain; in some thci
vanity is insufferable Never wound tn
vanity, not even in the most trifing instance.
A husband may have more sense than his
wife. but he should never seem to know it.


q. When woman gives wrong counsel
never make her feel that she has done so, but
lead her ON by degrees to what is rational,
with midness and genteness; when she is
convinced, leave her all the merit Of having
found out what was just and reasonable.


I. When wife is out of temper behave
obligingly to her if she is unkind, never re-
tort or hnd fault with her, with view to
humble her.


5. Choose well your male friends have
but few, and be cautious of following their
advice in all matter, particularly if inimical
to the foregoing instruction.


Q. Never be curious unnecessarily to
pry into your wife's concerns, but obtain her
confidence by that which, at all times, you
repose in her Always preserve order and
economy avoid being out of temper, and be
careful never to scold. BY this means she
will find her own house more pleasant than
any other.


10. Seem always to obtain information
from her, especially before company, though
you may pass yourselffora simpleton. Never
forget that a husband owes his Importance to
that of his wife if he degrades her he Injuries
himself Leave her entirely mistress of her
action, to 90 and come whenever she thinks
fit. A husband ought to make his company
SO amiable to his wife, that she will not be
inclined to seek any other; then she will not

find themselves engulphed in the sea

they emerge with nothing but their

\ WHITE FELLOW COURTS MULATTo
GIRL AND GETS HIS Jaw BONE BROKE.
A great deal Of gossip was occa-
stoned above Goodlettsville, Saturday.
by an affair in which a man named
John Smith and mulatto girl named
Charlotte Utley played the leading
parts. While Charlotte was IN tho


field Of her employer, Mr. Utley,
hoeing corn, Smith approached that
gentleman, and asked-if he could wed
the girl, as he had been enamored Of
her for some time past. Mr.. Utley
replied that he had no objection If the
girl was willing. Smith at once went
to the field, approached the dusky
object of his affect ons in a seductive
sort of way, related the conversation
TO her he had Just had with Mr.. Ut
ley, and told her that as that gentle
man had given his consent she would
be compelled TO marry him. Charlotte
very Indignantly resented this rather
unique manner Of wooing, and told
him that neither he nor any other
white trash" could ever be her hus-
band. In the midst Cs sis expostula-
tions Smith was knocked scnseles5 to
the ground bv Charlotte's hoe, IN
which condition he was taken from
the field. Upon examination it was
discovered that Charlotte had broken
his Jaw bone, and that a considerable
time would elapse before his recovery.

Some hearts 90 hungering through the


world


And never find the love they seek;
Some lips with pride or scorn are curled,
To hide the pain they may not speak.
The eye may flash, the mouth may smile,
The voice in gladdest music thrill,
And yet beneath them all the while


The hungry heart be pining still.
They know their doom and walk their way
With level steps and steadfast eyes,
Nor strive with fate, nor weep, nor pray
While others not so sadly wise,
Are mocked by phantoms evermore,


And lured by seemings of delight,
Fair to their eye, but at the core


Holding but bitter dust and blight.
/ see them gaze with wistful eyes,


mark their signs or fading cheeks;
l hear them breathe in smothered sighs,
And note the grief that never speaks;
For them no might redresses wrong,


No eye with pity is impearled,
Oh, misconstrued and suffering long,


Oh, hearts, that hunger through the


world,


For you does life's dull desert hold


No fountain shade, no date-grOve fair,
No gush Of waters clear and cold,


But sandy reaches wide and bare.
The foot may fall, the soul may faint,
And weigh to earth the weary frame,
Yet still ye make no weak complaint,


And speak no word of grief or blame.
Oh, eager eyes which gaze afar!


Oh, arms which clasp the empty chair
Not all unmarked your sorrows are,


Not all unpitied your despair
Smile, patient lips so proudly dumb
When life's frail tent at last is furled,
Your glorious recompense shall come,


Oh hearts that hunger through the


world.

Hints to Business Men on Mental


Culture.


BY NJ. B. ANDERSON, LII. D., PRESIDENT OF


THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.


1t is clear that the number Of young men
who enter business life, after having re-
eeived liberal education, is constantly in
creasing. 1t is clear also that our best and
ablest merchants desire on the part of their
employees higher rangeof intelligence aad
a greater degree of mental discipline, than
was thought requisite in former years. The
evidence for both Of the above statements is
abundant. But my design is not to make
an argument in favor of giving candidates
education Though l believe it to be de-
sirable), bur to point out some practical
methods by which those who have already
passed the period of elementary training
and are already engaged in business can Sc
cure growth, power and breadth of intellect
There is common and somewhat vague
distinction drawn between a trade and a
liberal profession on the ground that the one
requires little beyond manual skill for sue
cess, while the other requires a disciplined
and wel-furnished intellect Now it is evi
dent that this distinction fails in its applica-
ton to individuals. For there are great
numbers of mechanics, farmers and mer-
chants who bring to their pursuits abroad
and comprehensive mind, and so refer al
their thinking to great universal laws that
they became representatives, Of the philo-
sophical tendency and habit Such men in-
vent new processes in the mechanical arts,
contrive and improve labor saving machines,
strike out new channels of trade, foresee and
evade financial crisis, anticipate the result
Of increased safety, cheapness and rapidity
in the transmission of goods and intelligence,
make successful experiments in stock breed
ing, fruit-raising, drainage and manures.
On the other hand, every careful observer
knows that the learned professions furnish
manifold examples of men who preach,
teach, practise medicine and law on princi-
pies as mechanical as those of the organ
grinder 1t is evident that the relative
dignity Of different pursuits among men is
not to be soughtin the pursuits themselves,
but rather in the amount of intelligence
which is brought to bear upon them. All
growth, progress, improvement in every de-
partment of human activity is due to those
who bring to ordinary processes of labor the
action of clear and thoughtful mind-to
those who think while they work. Here
we have an illustration of what gives dig
nifty to labor. The commonest handicraft

who exercises it be elevated to the rank of

decisions, without any apprehension of their
ultimate ground in the nature Of things, be-

education founded in general principles for
every calling in life. A man becomes a
