A poor wife ‘‘dears,” and “my loves” her husband, and couldn't sew a button on his coat to keep him from freezing. A sensible wife looks for her enjoyment at home—a silly one abroad. A wise girl would win a lover by prac- tising those virtues which secure admira- tion when personal charms have failed. A simple girl endeavors to recommend herself by the exhibition of frivolous ae- complishments and a mawkish sentiment whith are as shallow as her mind. A good girl always respects herself, and therefore always possesses the re- spect of others. Aw InresistisLe Tempration.—The following naive promise was offered as irresistible temptation toa fair inamo- rata: “I thank you,” said the girl to her suitor, ‘but I can’t leave home; I ama widow's only darling: no husband can ever equal my mother in kindness.” “She is kind,” replied the wooer, “but be my wife, we will all live together, and see if I don’t seat your mother.” Tus Dory or raz Dzacons.—One of the Deacons in Edward Dey’s church asked him if he usually kissed the bride at weddings. ‘‘Always,’’ was the reply. ‘And how do you manage when the happy pair are negroes?’ was the dea- con’s next queston. ‘‘ In all such cases,” replied Mr. Dey, «‘ the duty of -kissing is Sppointed to the deacons.’ i> ‘Ihave heard,” says Mr. Henry, ‘of a married couple, who, though they were both of a hasty temper, yet lived comfortably together by simply obsery- ing a rule on which they had mutually agreed—never to both be angry to- gether.” MOVEMENTS OF OCEAN STEAMERS Te.
