He who is puffed up with the tirstjgale of pixwperity will bend beneath the tret blast of adversity. Correction does much, but en couragement does more. Encour agement after censure id' as the sun after a shdwer. . The incapacity of men to under stand each: other is one of tho prin ciple cau&cs of their ill-temper towards each other. With love, the heart becomes a fair and fertile garden, glowing with sunshine and warm hues, and ex haling sweet odore. The chief proprietors of wisdom are to be mindful of things past, careful of things presont, and pro- videntf'if things to-Come. A great secret of education is to tnake the exercist-s of the body and those of. the mind serve always as a recreation to each, other. Those wLo excel in strength are not most likely to show contempt of weakness. A man does not des pise tho weakness of a child.

She would not be ignorin't of "his troubles or hia onx ieties. Anything.Js better to Tier than to )>e shut pdt from the inner- moat of the life of ono who should be all hers and she all his. Women generally are^.averse to 'keeping "things to themselves, and:a husband i often overdosed with confidences; -but many . really afketionate men "lead, as far as their wives are con cerned, a double life. Of that -which is not domestic they think it -r%h.t to say nothing. Some griev-. ous troubles" may be upon^them dread of failure, cettainty of loss remorse for some mistake whichinis plunged them into anxiety; and they make no sign of it save by a change.of tnanner, which to the. wo* mep^who are ignorant that they ave many cares is incomprehensi ble. ., " i The' wife would be sympathetic; . but when a rfrowning brow, silence and a lack of the usual caresses are' all the token she has of her leige 'lord's trouble, all her boasted in tuition cannot keep her from flying to the conclusion that -it is a per- -bonal matter -that she is no longer loved, or that" .ho loves some one else. And we believe much domes tic misery bas-iboen caused in the .first, place by -.the man's secretive- " ness when ha bid no secrets which might not baye been shared by his wife.
