This is one very serious objection to single blessedness—a fellow’s name is apt to die away; andon that account I should advise no one to be a bach- clor~1fhe can kelp it. It wouldn't work wellin the long run; were the world—the masculine portien—one vast society of *: Sha- kers” or bachelors, it would be a world of hypocrites—and the human family would of course die away. Speaking of “ Shakers.’ I believe had [been a Shaker in my youth I should have been married long ere this. Mankind is averse to being fettered woman- kind ditto ; chain them down to rules and reg- ulations—make them gotocharch six times every Sunday—forbid intercourse between the sexes while young—and they're mighty apt to kick in the traces, and overset the fondest wishes of their mistaken guardians I believe Lil see Miss Susan Gavvie home after- meeting. That's an awful long-winded minister. I've a great notion to throw my boot at him. Ido hate long sermons ; I’m a great lover of the *-short and sweet’’ doctrine, and I believe that even a link of pleasure oan be too “ long drawn out ”” At last services are ended The last im is sung, the last prayer is offered, the bene- liction—there goes Susan, ‘‘ Now comes the tag of war.’’ *‘ Miss Gabble—Miss Susan Gabble—allow me, my dear Madame, on account of the si- militude of our ages—to—to—bave the su- preme felicity—to’’— Why, what a look! to a gentleman before. ‘Our ages, indeed?

But you can’t hide the wrinkles, Susan; they brand you ia the face as a liar—and the rose on your cheek like your would-be girlish actions—is as false as yourswelling cotton bosom‘ Ah, what tale-bearers these old women are! How soon the story of my wig went over the town; magnified and increased until I find out my teeth are false. Told of it to my teeth, and ten /e/t to chew the cud of my soi- itary fancies Well, well, I was told I was en ‘pve! the other day; and that I'd get the mitten; (this was by a young tale-bearer— just beginning to develope her natural pro- pensities.) I was told, too, that I was dead, and that my spirit had communicated to this world the astonishing fact, that the reason I was never married was because I was a vic- tim of a coquette. Of course a word is true. How can I deny the stories t- able scandal mongers? But I will * down the glove’’ to these *‘ respectable’ old, £o., and w every story I say. prove it Women are nuisances—with a few excep- tions.

(Puff, puff'| And something seems to say, ** Do you know the reason why Jack didn't eat his supper?” A Ilaprpy Home.—In a happy home there will be no fauit-finding, no overbearing spirit —there will be no peevishoess, no fretfulnese Unkindness will not dwell in the heart or be onthe tongue Oh, the tears, the sighs, the wasting of life and health, and strength and time—of all that is most desired in a happy home, occasioned merely by unkind worde. The celebrated Mr Wesley, remarked to this effect, namely, that fretti and scolding seemed like tearing the flesh the bones, and that we have no more right to be guilt of this than we have to curse, or swear or steal. In a perfectly happy home all selfishness will be removed. Even as ‘Christ pleased not himself,’’ so the members of a happy home will not seek first to please themeelves, but to please each other. Cheerfulness is another ingredient in a hap- py home. How much does a sweetness eman- ating from a heart filled with love and kind ness, dontribute to rendera home happy. How attracting, how soothing is that sweet cheer- fulness that is borne on the countenance of a wife and mother. How the parent and child, the brother and sister, the mistressand servant, dwell with delight on those cheerful looks, those confiding smiles that beam from theeye, and burst from the inmost soul of those who are near and dear. How it hastens the return of the father— lightens the care of the mother—renders it more easy for youth to resist temptation! and drawn by the cords of affection, how it indu- ces them with living hearts to return to the parental roof. O, that parents would lay this subject to heart, that by untiring efforts they would so far render home happy, that their children and demestics shall not seek for happiness in forbidden pat! New Srrzze or Econour.—A fair denizen of “delighted Paris,’’ whose extravagance borne rather hard upon her husband’s purse, was one day taken to task by him for her want of economy. “<I know what you say is true,’’ replied the repentant belle, “but what shall I do to reduce our expenses ?’’ ‘‘Why, ma chere,’’ repled the husband, delighted with her submission, “you ride a great deal, why not take an omnibus occasion- ally, instead of a carriage? that would save something.,’ The wife agreed, and as her husband was gone, she rang for her maid “ Marietta, call me a coach, that I _ get to the omnibus to go to the Madaleine. I am going to economise ? Two Bricks tx ras Har.—Sheridsn and Fox staggered into the House of Commons ove evening, after a heavy libation of champagne and two or three rounds of billiards. One as- serted that he couldn’t see the Speaker, while the other made out two Speakers in the chair of that functionary. The London reporters, ever on the alert for The caricaturist of the day, too, equally op the alert, took up the subject, and. apostro- phized the affair thus : ‘«How’s this, Ieee no Speaker, Dick,—do you?
