SECRETARY'S OFF CF, HARRISEURU, June 22, 1857. cXectVoettl. THE GIANT. There came a giant to my door, A giant fierce and strung; His step seas • heavy on the floor, • His arm were ten yards long, Ho ecrowled and frowned he shook the ground ; I trembled through and through— At length I looked him in the face And cried; "Who cures for you?" The mighty giant as I spoke, Grew pale and thin and small, And through his bAy, as t'weie smoke, I saw the sunshi le fall, His hl"ad•red eyes tamed blue as skies, He whispered soft and low— "Is thin," I cried, with glowing pride, "Is this the mighty foe?" THE WIFE'S EXPEHI ,ENI' This is a story of a new but unpateuted and most successful experiment at house cleaning, which, we f el assured, will be read with interest by those lady-readers, who—like us of the coarser sex—think house-cleaning a periodical plague—worse it possible, than the dreary days of old fashioned soap making. 'Well, my dear,' said William Stanley to his wife, '1 think, if you will get out my portmanteau, and fill it, I will run off to town for a few days.' , Ah !' said Mrs Stanley, arching her eye brcitvs. 'On business I' not particularly,' he replied. 'I like to go, occasionally ; and I suppose that this week .vould be quite as convenient a time, all things considered, as I could choose.' So, with the belief that . William had something to call hint from hone that he did not care to trouble her about, like the trusting, confiding, trusting wife, that she was, she packed the portmuuteau. dropping ititu u. one itern that had nut been called for—a tear, shed et the thought of he! po oling lottehnese. tel from her trchismiii.itos, full of dimion siraiions of lasting . rriemkiitp,—friendship that had not outlived the poor little note [roper that had testified to its existence. Opiming them, she became absorbed in their contents, arid hour after hour rolled by 'Well, well, I have had two pleasant hours, and 1 have lived over some happy days,' said Mrs. Stanley. 'After dinner I will svrtairily commence the work I have planned, Ali the afternoon, her fingers flew mer rily over the canvass, and at evening the task was nearly completed. .One hour more of work, and there will be one bit more of furniture to surprise William with when he comes home.

The soft clicking of knitting nee dles has something in its sound peculiarly quieting and soothing. Busy people some times have the feeling that they cannot sit and fold their hands, even when they wish to think. Let me assure my lady friends that, with a half-knit stocking in their fin gers, all such feelings will vanish. They will have the happy consciousness that they are rdoiag smelt ing ;' and that goes a great way in 'nuking up the, happinesss of some lives Instead, therefore. of lean jug her head upon her hand. and then ga zing out into the night, as heroines of ro mance are wont to do, at the twilight hour our heroine wok her knitting work, and, soling in an easy chair, looked quietly at the fading sunset, at the slowly descending ew ifinpn, and the bright stars that came nut one by one.
