HOW I WON KY WIFE
Jessie Bale was the merriest, pretti
est, most provoking dlughter of Eve
that ever existed—at least I thought so
—though perhaps I was "not an impartial
judge, as I must confess .1." was deeply in
love,—and, in fact, I don't believe I
could remember a time when I was
„ not
in love with her. It certainly' was , not
when - a Youngster of tiveleki I took her
under' my eipecitil care, feeling then
prouder of roj , curly=headed charge ifiiin
:I could now of a mine gold; nor
when'a tall; awkward boy of sixteen' I
'brit ventured to ask for her company
home from church ; nor still later, when,
=
after four , ydars' absence, I returned to
my native town, and set up as a surgeon
in the bodge where Di. MOpre's twine
had been since my cUrliest reeollection.

if I,had no 'patient there, all the pa
tience I ever had was required there at
times, for of all the tantalizing little
wretches that ever fascinated and pro
voked a poor fellow—until he could not
have told whether he were in the body
or • out of it—Jessie Hale was the worst.

my wilful little lady-love.
boo fine morning, we were aboilf
starting for fora ride on horse back, as I
was assisting MisS Jessie into the sad

. and
kicking at an alarming rate ; of course
the,j4.gged bits o'f iron tiiat,l had 'can

nothing'to do with it. By the One ehe
was fairly seated he 'had become perfect

from the saddle; of course I caught her
before she reached the ground. No
winner was she in safety , than, with a
deep grnan, 1 staggered back against
the fence, my right , arm hanging hel p.

Jessie was beside me in a• moment:
"Oh, Will, ehe said piteonsiy, - "that

I don't think I stopped to thank her
for that and Wray:return to the

'was certainly "most dignified. I bad ta

I went,home in no very enviable state

I took the letter and tore it open.
I' was 'too much occupied with my

A ,moment's reflection -showed me
what, was needed ; for if she really cared
for me, my

take long- to make •.my arrangements,
and before night they were all comple

influence they have upon the character,
often through life ? Independent of
their animal uses, their moral effect is
greater. than most people suppose.
For instance, take two young girls of
fifteen ; say, the one with beautiful
teeth, the other with a very defective
set. We will suppose they have equal
beauty of person, and are equal in all
intellectual endowments. You will
find a vast difference in the develop
ment of character as they mature into
womanhood. The one with splendid
teeth will soon know that they are the
admiration of all, and we are apt to
dwell upon what we are most admired
for. She .will court every opportunity
to show her teeth ; ready to smile, and
laugh and be gay; while the other, un
fortunately, will be constantly Mold of
her misfortune 1 "What a beautiful
girl, but such teeth :" She, unlike the
more fortunate one, will try - to conceal
her teeth ; will laugh as seldom as possi
ble ; and, when she does laegb, it is a
suppressed laugh—a sort of packer of
the lips.
LADIES SHOULD READ NEWBPAPHRS.
It is &great mistake, in female educe
tide, to leeP a young lady's time and
attention devoted to the fashionable lit
eietnie of the day. It you would quali
fy her for conversation you must give
ber soMethhig to talk about—give her
education with this actual world and its
transpiring events. Urge her to read
the newspapers and become familiar
with the present character and improve
ment of our race.—History is of same
importance ; bat the past world is dead,
and we, have nothing to , do with it.
Our thoughts and, our concerns should
be tor the present world, to know what
it is, and improve the condition of it.
Let. her have .e.n .in telligeu t opinion, and
be able to sustain an
,intelligent conver
sation, concerning the , mental, moral,
political and religious improvement of
our dr i es., Let the gilded annals, and
poems of the,centre,table be kept part
of the time covered with weekly apd dai
ly journals. Let the whole family—
men, women and children—read the
newspapers.—L. A. Godey.
AN IRISHMAN'S Hamm—Sir Walter
Scott once had an 'lrishman working for
him who was,a great drunkard, and who
often neglected tha work Sir Walter
sent him to do. One morning while
engaged in his literary labor, word was
brought him that his man had returned,
after a two , day's spree. Sir Walter
dashed his.pen down on his desk, and
in great anger ordered the son of Erin
to be sent to him immediately. ' Pat
entered, like humbleness personified,
and Sir Matter poured out the vials of
his wrath :
m - You unfaithful dog,". said he, "here
I have been putting up with your misdo

time ; yet no sooner are you in good
graces; than you take advantage of me.
But this is thelast time, sir; we must
part!" .
"Well," said the gentleman from Ire
land, "if we mnst-part, I'm very sorry,

Of Dutch girls went into one of oar lar
gest' mercantile houses to buy goods.
One of them purchased a hoop skirt,
'arid thi clerk was about papering it up
when she stopped him and said she
, wanted to use it now. Stepping a little
to one side she proceeded to put it on,
while the merchant blushed, stammered,
and at last told her he preferred her to
go into the back 'room. The obedient
girtstaTted, but kept putting her hoops
on, and by the time she reached the
door of the room, was hooking the band
around her waist—thus performing the
operation before be eyes' of the tremb-
Wig merchant.
