WHAT MI/1W ELEEB lIIL
How cheering is the simple phrase!
How well its kindly admonition
To woman g-listening ear conveys
The knowledgeof her glorious miss:on!
She may not mingle with the throng,
When man to busy lila' betakes hint ;
Yet may she prove his shield from wiong—
A man is what a woman makes him!
In childhood's days of grief and joy .
She rules his ductile mind—no other
Can soothe and guide the wayward boy
With the calm wisdom of a mother,
The memory of her tender cares
Ne'er in his alter-life forsakes him ;
He yields net to the world's wild snares—
The son is what his mother makes him.
Anon a dear and cherished silo .
Takes in his home her honored station ;
She proves, amid the Ills of life,
His help, snpport and consolation.
He yields, perchance, to dire distress 4.
Her loving smile to hope awakes him.
Ho braves the sto'm—he meets success—
A man Is ;what a woman makes him.
Yet to my waiving lsy altund;
. I urge you, sisters, sives and mothers,
Your own neck follies to amend
Ere yogi can prove a stay to others!
Should you be selfish, worldly, vain,
Say, how can man, when grief o'eriakes
Aid from a heartless trifler gain?
A man is what a woman makes him.
Seek, ye to serve the Lord. and pray •
That ho may give von His direction.
HoW bt•st to win to duty's wa) , •
The object of your fund alTectiori.
What if, awhile, ho quit tholrack—
Your influence never qtifte forsake him ;
Your love, your prayers will bring him back—
A man is what a woman makes himle
tltstellimeous.
NELLIE'S VICTORY•
" You think George has ceased to
love yon, ?"
." I do n't exactly mean that, Aunt
Mary. But certainly George has
changed. There was a time when he
never left home in the evening; now
he stays home only an hour after
dinner." *:
"R is a grate.eharge for so young
a wife to make:"
" I wish it was only the foolish
fancy you seem to imagine, Aunt
Mary." • -
"I do not think it is altogether
fancy, Nellie. Bari want to - get at
the whole truth of the matter, and
to see if we cannot find out the tanse
of this change. Sarely, George is
not unkind to you."
" He is always finding fault, Aunt
Mary l"
" With what, Nellie-?"
" Oh, all sorts of things; the house,
the baby, my dress."
"With no other ground for com
plaint ?"
The little wife blushed deeply, and
made-no answer. Mrs. Carr, her soft
eyes bent lovingly upon ',her niece,
said, very gently :
" Where• does George go in the
evening, Nellie?"
" He is at his sister Kate's a
,great
deal, and—and—Kate says he is very
fond of bearing Mrs. Gordon sing."
" Mrs. Gordon. Do I know her ?"
" Shel was Jane Wilbur, and is now
a widow. Her brother is Kate's hus
band."
" Yes, yes. But Nellie, you play
and sing far better than Jane -Wil
bur."
'°Not now, 'Aunt Mary. I never
practice now."
"'But George is so very fond of
music, I am sure you cannot neglect
yours, if you try to make home the
most attractive place in the world for
your husband."
Again that deep, burning blush.
" I do n't think the piano has been
opened for a year, Aunt Mary."
"Nellie!" .
"So few married ladies keep up
heir music."
Buemany are obliged to give , np
the accomplishments to attend to
the details of household duty. This
is not your excuse, Nellie. Your
husband's means allow you a good,
competent girl, and Maggie is a jew
el of, a nurse. Do you really find
your time taken up ?"
" No. . I could practice , but—but—
well,ll. scarcely knoW how I got oat
of the habit."
"Nellie, will you allow me to :tell
you a few plain, home , truths, with
out giving you offence'"
" Aunt 3.lafy ! Do you think you
oould offend me ? Have you not
stood in the place of confessor to me
ever since I was a wee tottling child?
Say what you. will."
" How long have you been marri l
ed, Nellie?"
" Three years."
" And you think in that short time
you have lost your husband's affec
tion, at least in a measure. Ido not
think so, but I will tell you where I
think the trouble lies. George, as
you well know, was t brought up and
educated in a home where refined
and elegant young !ladies presided
over every detail. X think, dear,
when ho met you, he saw the same
refinements, the same taste and gen
tle manners, that make his sisters so
much beloved in society, and such
charming inmates of the home circle."
" Thanks to you, who filled a
mother's place to me."
" I was very glad when George told
me of his love for you, darling. - I
believed him •to be an honorable, true
'man, one whose wealth was the least
attraction to my,Nellie." •
" Yori were right. He was,' he is
all you thought him."
"He miirried you, believing he
would carry to his future home - one
who would make it not merely a
place to eat and sleep in, but a home
of taste and refined pleasure.. He
made the house a gem, as I know; he
brought into it a lady, and when I
sailed for Canada there was in no
circle of society— a more charming
drawing room than las. George
Huntley's, nor a More devoted hus
band than the one whose name the
lady bore. I' return, and you tell me
all is changed. Nellie, is the fault
on your husband's side? llave yon
nude his home what he hoped it
g would be ?" .
" No," said Nellie, in a low tone.
" When you come to see me again,
dear, tell me yon have won your hus
band back again. Jane Wilbur was
the rival -of your girlhood, but she,
must not mar your married happi
ness. Let your husband see that the
charms that won klm can still hold
his heart fast."
07 DIXIMCW2OII MC' AZT mamma.
Very slowly Helen Huntley wend
ed her Way homeward through the
hot, dusty streets. She was ponder
ing over her aunt's words, the aunt
whose love for her she knew was
only second to a mother's. Too ;tru
ly had she said that her husband had
not found his hopes of a home ful
filled. As Helen reviewed •the past
year by the light of her newly roased
conscience, she•marveled at the many
instances of patient forbearance she
recalled, and - olned in her heart that
the fault-finding of which she had
complained, was very gentle, and
very often omitted where grave cans()
existed for it. It was hard to define
exactly the day and hour when the
household arrangement began to fall
entirely into the hands of a servant,
whose perfect neatness and compe
tency were, it must be admitted, a
strong temptation to a young mis
tress. It was difficult to. say when
Helen first found it toomuch trouble
to dress for dinner unless company
was expected, when the drawing
room was closba except for weekly
cleaning, when the .fine toned piano
was first doomed , to silence and soli
tude.
As the young wife entered her own
room after her long walk, fevered
with the heat of the day and her own
train of thought, the little clock up
on the mantle wanied her that she
had only two hours' time before her
husband would be at home to din.'
ner. It reqUired an exercise of
her newly roused resolutions to re-'
(rain from throwing herself upon the
bed to rest; and surely her long Walk
was. a good and sufficient excuse for
this indulgence.
The large airy room, coel and dus
ky, was very inviting, but Helen
thrust aside the temptation. Hasti
ly divesting herself of her walking
dress, she put on a loose wrapper,
a ad hurried to the drawing room.
Half an hotir there altered materi
ally the aspect of afra 4 rs ; for Helen
wanted neither neatness nor taste,
when she chose to exert them.
She oast paid a visit to the mimic
ry and two years old Georgie ; and
then, returning to her room, the lit
tle woman proceeded. to make her
own toilette, recalling her husband's
favorite colors, and exerting her own
taste. A'crisp, cool, white muslin,
ruffled and trimmed as fashion dic
tated, with knotELof blue ribbon at
throat and belt, and confining the
luxuriant brown hair, transformed
the pretty, face and figure and bright
ened Helen into a most' attractive
hostess.
When George Huntley
,opened his
hall door, with his usual weary sigh,
his foot had scazcely •passed the
threshold when a pleasant sense of
rest and relief crept over him. The
long-closed doors of the' drawing
room stood wide open. The half
elosed-blinds of the open windows
admitted tie cool evening breeze,
softly stirring the lace curtains; vases
of freshi fragrant flowers stood here
and there, and aßen the open pimao
were scattered loose sheets of music.
In this pleasant room a chubby
boy in white was •ranning to meet
papa, while a smiling wife spoke a
few gentle words of welcome. No
fretful woman with untidy dress and
rough hair; no boy banished, to the
nursery to-night.
George was a philosopher. He
made, no comment ; but Nellie' felt
the added tenderness of his kiss, not
ed the admiring look in his eyes, and
felt that her work was appreciated.
Dinner passed off pleasaMtly. t En
couraged by her success s 4 far, Nel
lie chatted gaily, and GeOrge, found
himself lingering over the dessert of
fresh fruits till longafter t his usual
time leaving the table.'
"You You are not going .out?" Nellie
said, as she saw George advancing
ominously towards the door.
I. was going to Kate's. Will you
not come with me?"
" I would rather have you here."
" Then I will stay. Yon have the
first.clrrim, madame," and he bowed
with graceful, though laughing, form
ality.
" Thanks! I was thinking how
long it Was binee we had a game of
backgaMmon."
"I hoped you were going, to play
for me," with a glance at the piano.
"I will. To night you must re
member that - I am oat of prictice,
but afterwards - I will not claim that
indulgence. To-morrow I will resume
daily pre cti pc."
"I wish
§ ou would," was the earn
est reply. it has really grieved me
to see suclimusical talent and culture
as yours being wasted."
It was a cause for regret. Even in
that opening prelude the skillful fin
gers regained some of their cunning
and force; -and when at last Nellie
-said she was tired, both were-amused
to find two hours had flown by.
A few games of backgammon, a
song or two, and it was time to re
tire.
Instead. of a lonely, hurried break
fast the next morning, George found
Nellie, in a neat morning dress, pre
siding over the table, as in days
when housekeeping had the charm of
novelty.
three weeks passed away, and
then Elite came to spend an evening
with hepobrother, acoompanied by
the pretty widow, Mrs. Gordon.
had scarcely admitted to
herself why she chose her softest and
prettiest tn,risliti for that evening's
wear; why she was so very,carefnl in
the arrangement of the Pompadour
roll h,er hilsband declared so becom
ing to her face; why the selected her
prettiest set of jewelry, and crisp nev
ribbons for hair and necktie. But
George, as his visitors entered the
room, could not refrain from the
comparison between' Nellie and Jane,
and a throb of exultation ;at the
thought that ho had chosen well. -
Pique, or a more ignoble impulse,
prompted the dashing widow to ex
eV, all her fascination. She played
bzilliantly, she sang well; she chatted
with wit and vivacity; but Nellie met
her bravely upon -her own ground
and conquered her. Her musical at
tainments far surpassed th• widow's
showy, superfiecial playing, and her
voice was fall of depth and feeling.
Not once did she waver. Her hus
band's heart was the stake for which
she played, and though she knew it
had never strayed far from' its lawful
allegiance, she wanted it firmly fixed
upon herself.
The evening was nearly over when
Bate said, " You have quite deserted
us, George. it is three weeks since
you have spent' an evening at our
house."
" Impossible. It cannot be - so
ong."
Nellie turned her head away to
hide her glad smile of triumph.
" But it is," - Bate persisted ; "we
were counting the days this morn
ing."
"I. will come with Nellie'some
evening. next week. Where has the
time flown, Nell ?" '
" There were two evenings at the
theatre," Nellie said, demurely.
" Yes, and we have been learning
some new duets.. And lam reading
Owen Meredith's last new poem
aloud-to Nellie, and we are contriv
ing some additions for the Conserva
tory, that take time to calculate and
plan: — Then Nellie is helping me
about some papers I want to get in
order, and—
"Stop! stop ! You are pardoned,"
Bate cried, laughing at her brother'a
earnest face. " Only, - when. these
pursuits will allow you to spare one
evening, pray remeuther that : you
have a sister. Nell, Walter was say
ing last week he wanted to hear you
sing that Brindisi he used to aAroire
so much. lam so glad you have ta
ken up your music again. We were
all so_ proud of it."
"I mean to keep my practice up
now," Nellie said. "George is get
ting so big that mamma cannot make
him an excuse for laziness any long
er."
So,, with promises for an evening
at Katee soon, the party separated,
Gporge escorting the ladies Lome
Nellie sac thoughtfully in the desert
ed parldr, wortdctring. if her husband
would soon return, or be detained by
Ws. Gordon's charms till a still later
hour.
The full titre to be allowed for the
walk had passed, and a doubt was
creeping into the wife's heart, when
a ringing step upon the payment,
and the rattling of the latch key in
the lock, announced her husband's
return."
"Waiting for me, dear?" he said.
"Youjiave come quickly," she an
swered.
For answer, he took her in his
arms, and while he looked. longingly
intp• her eyes, lie sang, in a low,
sweet voice—
•' There's no place like home."
So Nellie won her victory, and she
kept the advantage gained.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BEAD?
The long winter nights are here.
Towns and cities►re full of young
men whose 'educatton has been very
limited—young men of good man
ners, of fair business capacities, who
are seeking-their fortune, but have
not learned that intelligence and in
tegrity are the indispensible condi
tions of iniluenco, of happiness and
• .
of success.
What plans have you, my friends,
for this winter ? Business will be at
tended to of course. Perhaps, in ad
dition, the prospects of -several par
ties. Or, you may be of a sober turn,
and you have a winter laid out in
which your leisure time is to be filled
with meetings and benevolent labors.
In either case, what do you pro
pose in regard to reading and study?
Are you educated.yourself? Do you
regard books as necessities of life, or
as luxuries ? '
A young man ought to- arrange as
systematically for reading as he does
for eating. Every year there ought
to•be an account of books finished
and mastered.
Newspapers and magaziaes have
their own place, and indispensible
uses—but they are not substitutes
for books. And books themselves
are to be classifiedlind wisely chosen.
Novels and light- literature, taken
sparingly, famish wholesome recrea
tion and sound knowledge. Bat his
tory, -travels, biography, works on
science, criticism, art, mechanics,
should be the staple of ,your selec
tions. - 1,4
It, ought to offend the celf-respect
of a young man to spend a whole
year without having mastered a sin
gle new book. He may be improved
in business tact, and in the know
ledge which comes froni mingling
with men ; ho may be growing in
health and still to
.manage riches,
but these things do not reach in far
enough. They do not touch the
place where manhood resides.
Now ifOthe time to consider, re
solve and arrange. It will require' a
firm pruposa and steady band to car
ry you every week; and the interest
will increase at every step. Nothing
increases self-respect in a young man
more worthily than the *Ambit of
sound reading.
• Books are . shields to the young.
Temptations are blunted on them,
which otherwise would pierce to the
quick. A man who draws sufficient
pleasure from books is independent
of the world forhis pleasure. Friends
may die; books, are never sick, and
they never grow old. Riches , melt
away; books aro in no danger of
bankruptcy. Our companions have
their own errands to execute, and
their own burdens to bear, and can
not, therefore, be always at hand
when we need company, but books
need never go out from us. They are
never sensitive to our neglect .; they
are never buSy; they do not scold us;
and they - do welcome us with uni
form and genial delight. What are
you going to read,this winter?
At Valley Steam, Long Island, . a
man fell between two trains of cars,
in attempting to jump from one to
the other. With the exception of a
slight contusion he was unharmed.
When some of the railroad employes
stopped to pick him up he waved
them off; sa z tug: "I can pielz,up my
own corpse. • "

if he had-Obeyed orders."
One day a lady came to Mr. Sew

Of paper,' on which was scribbled a
few lines. The prrport of the note
was : " Let this woman' have $lOO on

there, in favor of our country."
The case was what Mr. Seward sup'--

to get rid of her he proposed - to give
her $lOO. " I can give you no money,

" And you are a greater man than
