The Wife that Meets One at the Door.
In social ball her smiling face
ln every heart quick wine a place;
Tho.gnyest lad that the green
" ill t|p his hat when she is been,
And hoped to meet, when teens are o’er,
Just such & wife at his own d«x>r.
Tbe Object of True Teurning’.
The object is to beget manhood ; the
means are indifferent, so that the end is
seemed. ; How shall it be done'/ How
docs the sou of;tlie poor man rise amid ail
his disadvantages of birth and position to
wealth, eminence, and honor / By labor.
How does the son qif the wealthy, in spite
of all his .advantages, descend to poverty,
disgrace and reproach ? Through his in
ability to labor. Without books or
schoolmasters, the one is educated and ele
vated ; with them, the other is depressed
and degraded. The difference is, labor.
The one is able to comply with the first
great law of his being ; the other is not.
Labor is. therefore, education in its truest
sense. The man wHo knows not how to
labor, knows nothing ; the man who
knows how to labor, * has within his reach
the elements of everything. Hu who has
not learned to support himself by indus
try —which not merely includes the kuowl
edge of some branch of human employ
jueut, but the capacity to apply himself
4° it for the production of substantial re
sults —is, however elaborately, he may
have penetrated into books of science, un
instructed in' that which is, and will be,
until the entire constitution of humanity
is changed, the thing, of all others, first
in importance to mankind. Jjet not the
poor boy, weary at the plowfail, or in the
workshop, and longing for learning, re
■pine. His labor, and the I abits of Co'ise
eutive industry which he is acquiring, are
the best of ail education —the highest
foundation of personal independence, with
out wh ch there is no manhood ; and his
very longing tor that knowledge which
seems beyond his reach is, of itself, dis
cipline ot no common value. What the
mind goes out eagerly for, it either gets,
or its equiva.ent; (qnd t e man who ear
nestly strove tor excellence, however mea
gre his means and . opportunities, never
failed of |iis reward in a commensurate im
provement.
LOCIS PLACE
The of consecutive schooling,
year after year, wiih the expectation of
making the educated and useful man, is
undoubtedly wrong, and will often end in
disappointment, 'ihe child put to school
at an early age, readily masters the rudi
ments—letters; reading, and numeration
—which ; require little more thuu an ef
fort of the men ory. His mind then man
ifests a disposition to rest, the activity of
bis nature befog transformed to his physi
cal organjan.tion. if then he is pressed
forward to tasks and lessons, both body
and mind; are liable to be dwarfed and
rnaiToaedjby iHe process, and instead of
en largcraen t, ;cpn tract ion is the almost cer
tain result. jHis capacity to learn, as by
the judicious,; it is sometimes called, is
simply a temporary continence of memory,
acquired at the expense of the other facul
ties. Nojv Isi the time to teach him labor.
This is indicated by the expansion of his
body and; its demand for active employ-,
ment. Tjbe labor should be a productive
kirjd, and fitiqh: as requires attention and
the endurance pt fatigue, without overtax
ing bis c,Qer«£cg and driving him to indo
lence through idisgust. The demands of
the body bonk? satisfied, the mind again
awakes, and thius, instead of being oppo
sing elemjeuts the progress of the man
tuqtards his perfect condition, each acts as
the' friend «n| duxillmry of the other, and
expansion imd- development’ go on effi
ciently s^metrically.— flekry Heed.

Inevcy leave my home a day,

A pretty wife. and yet not vain—
And when she sings my favorite song,
How store am 1 the man is wrong,

▲ Curious Oath—Pledge, offfce
Horse Thieves.
Two men, named Rousch and Holly,
were arrested in this city Sunday. They
appear to belong to a band oi thieves, and
the following as the oathj of the clan :
“ In the name of the Power above, and
in the name of all his hosts of angels and
ministers, wht-m I invoke to bear record
of my words; in the name of him below,
whom wc fear and whom we hate, I swear:
“ I swear that from this moment to the
end of my life I devote myself, without
any reserve, to the fancy reform ; that I
will never leave it without the consent of
niy captain; thiit in sickness or in heal h,
in adversity or prosperity, I will never
leave, quit, or resign, without the consent
of my captain. 1 will obey my captain,
even unto death, in all transactions ; I will
be found by the laws, he has established,
and in all my doings I will act in strict
conformity with the regulations he has
made; and I invoke these powers, in the
event of my failing to fulliiil this, my
oath, to shower down all the curses to
which human nature is susceptible; may
all the maladies in which lingering
wretches who crave to die still exist, be
my fate; may my days be restless, my
nights sleepless, the pains and ggonics of
hell goad me ou to desperation, my limbs
wither Irom my body, my body paralyzed

A young French officer thus wri.es of
his first experience in battle :
“ Oup officers kept us back, fur wo were
not numerous Snough to charge upon the
enemy. This was, moreover, most pru
dent, for this murderous fire —so fatal to
the white coats —did us but little harm.
Our conical ba is penetrated their dense
masses, while those of the Austrians
ij;hisi!eri past our ears ami respected our
persons, it was the first time I had faced
fire, nor was 1 the only one. Well. lam
sati-fied with myself. True, I dodged the
fir-t balls, but Henry IV., they say did
the same at the beginning of every battle.
It is. in fact, a physical effect, indepen
dent of the will.
“ But. this tribute paid, if you cold on
ly feel how eacli shut electrifies you. It
is like ,a whip on a racer’s legs. The
balls whistle past you. turn up the earth
around you, kill one, wound another, and
you hardly notice them. You grow in
toxicated, the smell of gunpowder mounts
your brain. The eye becomes bloodshot,
ami the look is fixed upon ihe enemy. —
There is something of all the passions-in
that t rrible passion excited in a soldier
by the sight of blood and the tumult of
battle.
Everybody who has tried it, testifies
to the peculiar intoxication that is produ
ced by bei Her in a battle. There is an in
fatuating influence about the smell of pow
der. the shrill whistle of a bullet, and the
sight of hiimiln blood, that instantly trans
forms men fioni cowards to heroes—from
women sometimes to monsters. None can
tell of the nature or mystery of that influ
ence but those who have been in the fray
themselves.”
Dying. —benjamin F. Taylor, of the
Chicago Journal , draws the following
beautiful picture in reference to the cer
tain departure for that ‘ £ undiscovered
country
“There is a dignity about that going
away alone, which we call dying—that
wrapping of the mantle of immortality
about us ; that putting aside with a pale
hand the azure curtains that are drawn
around this cradle of a world ; that ventur
ing away from home for the first time in
our lives : for we are not dead ; there is
nothing dead to speak of, and seeing for
eign countries not laid down on any maps
we know about. There must be lovely
lands somewhere etarward, for none ever
return that go thither; and we very much
doubt if any would if they could.” '

A Tough Story,
There is jr place iir Maine so rocky,tbai
when the down eastern plant : corn, they
ihey look for crevices in the rooks, and
shoot the grains in with aj musket;
can x ’t raise ducks there no ho't, for the
stones arc so thick that the ducks can’t'
get their bills between them to piok.up
the grasshoppers, and the only way that'
the sheep can get at the sprigs of grass is
by grinding their noses on a grindstone.
Rut that ain't a circumstance'to a place
on the Eastern shore; there Ibnd is so
poor, that it takes two kildeas to say
‘‘ kildea; ' and on a clear day yqu cun see
the grasshoppers climb up a mulfen stalk,
and look with tears in their eyes over a
fifty acre field ; and the humble-bees have
to go down on their knees to get at the
grass; all the mosquitoes died of starva
tion. and the turkey buzzards had to emi
grate.
But there is a county in Virginia which
can bea* that, —there the land ia.so sterile
that when tbe wjud is at the northwest,
they have to tie the children to keep them
from being .blown away ; there it takes six
frogs to see a man, and when the dogs
bark they have t> lean against the fence y
the horses are so thin that it takes twelve
of them to make a shadow, and when they
kill a beef they have to hold Him up to
knock him down I
But oh !—there is a region in Jersey,
saith Moes Daper, where they held a two
weeks jubilee in the churches, because it
was announced that a fresh blade of grass
had sprouted in the southern part of the
county. There the natives once murder
el a traveler for the sake of half a ginger
bread cake, which he was rumored to
have in his pocket and there, too, they
turned a man “ out of meeting” because
after a visit to Philadelphia, he reported
that while in the city he had had at one
lime as much as he could eat. Sitch is
life.

The best thing yet written by Edward
Everett, in his “ M.ount Vernon Papers,”
is an article on the late After
describing its approach to the earth and
the beautiful picture it presented, he says;
“ lieturn, then, mysterious traveler, to the
depths of the heavens, never again to be
seen by tin; eyes of men now living ! Thou
host run thy race with glory I Millions
of eyes have gazed on thee with wonder
-—but they shall never look upon thee
again. Since thy last appearance in these
skies, empires, language and races of men
have died away ; the Macedonian, the Al
exandrian, the Augustan, the Parthian,
the Byzantine, the Saracenic the Ottoman
dynasties have sunk or s.nk'qg into the
.-'•lt of ages. Since thy last appearance
old continents have relapsed into ignorance
and new worlds have come out from be
hind the level ol waters. 'J he Ma ia.ii fires
are quenched on the hill tops of Asia ; the
Chaldean is blind ; the Egyptian hiero
graiuist.has lost his cunning; the Oracles
are dumb Wisdom now dwells in the
farthest i hules, or' in . newly discovered
worlds beyond the sea. Haply, when
wheeling up again from thfef celestial
abysses, thou art once more seen by the
dwellers of the earth, the language we
speak shall be forgotten, and science shall
have fled to the utmost corners of the
earth. But even there His hand, that now
marks out thy wo-drous circuit, shall still
guide thy course; and then, aslfiow Hes
per -,vi;l smile at thy approach, and Ardu
ous with his sons rejoice at thy coming.”
A Do;uc Gkm,—ln the way of true,;
forcible and poetic similes, thfj following,
by Adeial dc Proctor,; has not been often
surpassed: A boy is speaking of the in
fantile recollections of his dead mother :
Tlie mere thought
Of her great love for me has Drought
Tears in my eyes. Though faraway, -.
It seems as it were yesterday.
And just ns when I look on high ;
Through the blue silence the sky.
Fresh stars shine out. aud more and more
Where 1 could see-so few before;
So; the more, steadily I gaze.
Upon those far off misty Jays,
Fresh words, fresh tones, fresh memories
Start before my eyes and in my bfcirt.

Psaoe at Home.
It is just as possible to keep a calm
bouse as aclean house* acheerful house,
an orderly house, as a furnished house, if
the heads set themselves to do it. Where
is- the difficulty of consulting each other's
wants f—-each other's temper, as well an
each others health ?——each * other’s com*
fort, as well at eaoh other’s character -
Oh 1 it is by leaving the peace of home to ! -
chance, instead of pursuing it as a system,
that so many houses are unhappy. It a*
serves notice that almost any one can be
courteous, and forbearing, add patien tis :
a neighbor’s house. If anytEinggo Wrong,
or be out of time, or disagreeable thero, it
is made the best of, and not the wont;
even efforts'are made to excuse it, and to
show that it is not felt, or if felt it is *t«
tributed to accident, not design j and thi*
is not only easy but datural in the hone*
of a friend. Wo will not thereto belief* ,
that what, is so natural in the house of
another, is impossible at home ; but main
tain without fear that all courtesioi of
social life may be mantainod in
soo ety. A husband as willing to ..be
pleased at home, and as anxious to please,
as in his neighbor’s housej a wife as |il*
ten,t to making things comfortable eveiry
day to her family, as on set days to her
iiuesta, could not fail to make their wnH
home happy.
Let us not evade point of these te*
marks by recurring to the maxim, about
allowances for temper. It is worse than
folly to refer to our temper, unless w#
could prove that we ever gained anything
.ood by givingway to it. Fits of Ui
humor pain us quite as much, if not
than those they are vented upon; and it
actually requires more effort, and inflicts
more pain to give them up, than would be
requisite to avoid them.

A Clear'Conscience.—flow bravely
a man can walk the earth, bear the heaviest

conscience void of oifense to Go. of man.
There is no spring, no spur, no inspirailptt
like this. To feel that we have otuitteyT
no just task, and left no obiiga*ioh nnfii|l
filled, this fids the fieart with satisfaction,
and the soul with strengtu. Conscience,
it is said, makes cowards of us fib—bi|fi
only cowards when it repfoaobes us vitb
unmaolinesa—some shrinking from truth
and right, and the commission of souio
wrong. *-
Tq Yob no Labi ss.—l have foiigj thAt
the men who are really the most fondof
the society of the ladies, who cherish fcr
them a high respect; are seldom the meik
popular with the : sex. Men of great a|>
sutance, whose tongues are highly htujft,
who joake words., supply the place pr
ideas; and place compliment in theroom
of sentiment, are the favorites. Adw
respect for women leads to respectful ac
tion toward them—and respectful is astj
ally distant action, and this great distance
is mistaken by them for.negleot or Waal
of interest—. AddUm.
