T. PARRISH. WHITBY A Modern n Husband. BY THzoDORE TILTON, " 'He is not unsympathetic and hard. His business tends to make him somewhat harsh | and rough. Contract with the world rubs the poetic bloom from his mind, and dries his sentiments, and unfits his tongie for the sweet and dainty nothings which occupy se large a place in the vocabulary of woman's expectations, He takes a great. deal for granted, and wants his wife to asume some- thing, and not to look for vain repetitions when words are worth so much. The wear and tear of life tells on his nerves and sen. sibilities and take the sentiment, the gal- lantry out of him insensibly, but effectually, and he #ppears indifferent without knowing) it. He is absorbed in his business plans and ambitions, and cannot pretend to the least enthusiasm in his wife's ruffles, and laces and lawns, and his enjoyment'of her new set of jewels is materially abated by the prospective raid on his bank a:count. In modern life deterentiations are vastly greater than in old days, when husband and wife worked together--behind the counter and on the farm, each undarstanding the labor of the other, and joining as a true yoke-fellow in drawing the mutnal load. The modern husband earns for his wife to spend ; and he earns in methods and under conditions which she does not understand, so that her advice is worthless, and even her sympathy exhales oftentimes without his nétice. The condition under which we and labor affect domestic Jinbits and insensibly re-act on disposition Once, hus- band and wife spent most of their tinge to- gether ; new live and character. now they spend most of it apart and cannot follow each other thruogh the trans- actions of the day, even in imagination, -- They are less mutually dependent than when cach was all the world to the other, and their lives were one, The modern husband is not so lovable nor attractiv and his wife would like to have him, in some rsspects as he might be, He He is a harder, drier, more worldly creature than she took lias not kept Lis first estate, him to be, sentiment, and digestion "Gecupies a place than music or poetry in the cconomy of his life.

Scarcely a day passes.that we do not hear some beautiful instances of devotion and self-sacrifice on the part of those whom it is too much the fashion to ridicule for selfishness and a cause of infi- delity. The steady toil and devotion of a lifetime are a thousand times more precious than gellant protestations, and the husbands who stood with folded arms on the deck of the sinking steamship, choosing to go down in death with their wives rather than escape and leave them tc their fate, illustrate in a picturesque and thriiling way what thousands of modern husbands are doing every day.

Mr, Johnson is a good-hearted man and a re- spectable citizen, thongh he is rather skep- tical about some things, The women had just organized "The Foreign Benevolent Society," when Mr, Johuason entered the room. He was at once appealed to to donate a few dollars as a foundation to work-on, f! and Mrs. G---- added :-- «It would be so pleasant in after' years for you to remember that you gave this society its first dollar and its first kind word,' He slowly opened his wallet, drew out a $10 Lill, and as the ladies smacked their lips and clapped their hands he asked :(-- Is this society organized to aid the poor of foreign countries ?' ¢ Yes--yes--yes !" they chorused, ¢ And it wants money ?' t Yes--yes I! ¢ Well, now," said Johnson as he folded the bill in a tempting shape, 'there are twenty married women here, you who can make oath that you have combed your children's hair this morning, washed the dishes, blacked the cook.stove, and made the beds, I'll donate this 10. 'I have,' answered two of the crowd, and the rest said 'Why, now Mr, Johnson !* If fifteen of you make oath that your hus. bands arc not wearing socks with holes in the heels this money is yours,' continued the wretch. rince Albert, April 26, 1876, A Just hear him I' they exclaimed, each one ooking at the other.

Crowned at the marriagé ay here: in modest retirement reigns the help-mate to man, the queen of home: Her mission is the very opposite of noise and glory--a mis- sion of silence and reliance. Never are the lines that follow more clearly written, than in the silent power of obstrusive piety : "In silence mighty things are wrought, Silent builded thought on thought, So truths temple greets the sky ; 3 And, like'a citid :1 with towers, The soul with hei subservient powers Is stregthened silently, Soundless as chariots on the snow, 1 ngs of the forest grow To trees of mighty girth ; Each mighty star in silence burns, And every day in silence turns The Axle of the earth, The silent frost with mighty hand Fetters the or and the land With universal chain ; And, smi by the silent sun, The ¢ 5 loosed, the rivers run, The lands are tree again. -- Ee The Danger of Marrying Editor. an Yes, 'm Mrs. Peter Snow, an editor's wife. I well remember the day when Mr. Snow asked me to become his wife, TI confess I liked: Mr. and thinking it would be a fine thing to be the wife of un editor, 1 said "Yes, and I be. came Mrs, I have seen ten years of married life, and find my husband to be an able, He always spends his evenings at home, and is in that ; but he always brings a pile of exchanges, which is only limited by Snow, "as pretty as I knew how, Snow. good-natcred man, respect a model man the length of his arms, and reads while I patch tie knees and elbows of his panta. loons and coat. After we had a Quaker meeting of an hour's length I broke the si- lence by ¢ Mr. Snow, did you ordar that coal that I spoke to you about ?' ay, my dear?' he asks s silence, ¢ Did you order that coal I spoke to you about ?' ¢ Indeed, my dear, I am sorry, but I forgot all about it, . It shall come tomorrow.' Another hour's silence, which is relieved by the baby's crying ; and rather liki noise of that sort, I made no cffort to quict him. ¢ My dear,' says Mr. Snow, after he had cried a minute or so, 'you had better give the bady tea to quict him; he g a some catnip troubles me,' The baby is still. Another hour passes without a breach of peace, Becoming tired I take a lamp and retire for the night, leay- ing Mr. Snow so engaged with his papers that he does not sce me leave the room.-- Towards midnight he comes to bed, and just as he has fallen asleep the baby takes a no- tion to cry again. I raise as quietly as pos- sible and try to still him. Then another baby begins to scream to the top of hislungs Thee is no other course but to awake Mr, Snow, so I say: ¢ Mr. Snow I" The third time he starts up and cries, ¢ What Tom ! more copy ?' ¢ As though I was Tom the little imp run. ning about the office | I reply tartly : 'No, I don't want any more copy. [I have had enough of that to last me my lifetime. -- I want you to sce what Tommy is crying about." Mr. Snow makes a desperate attempt to rouse himself ; as Tommy stops to tike a breath he falls to sleep again, leaving me to pace the room in as much vexation as I can comfortably contain. The next morning at breakfast when I give Mr. Snow an account of his last night's troubles, he says: 'Indeed, my dear, Iam very sorry the children trouble you.' This is always the way. If I complain it isg/Indecd I am very sorry.' But should the very same thing occur the subsequent night, directly before his eyes, very likely he wonld not see or know any. thing about it, unless it happened to inter- rupt his train of ideas. Then he would propose catnip tea ; but before I can get it into the infant's stomach he will be far away in the realms of thought, leaying me not a little vexed at his stupidity. He knows the names of every paper pub- lished in England or the United States, but he cannot for the life of 'Lim tell the names of his children, He knows precisely the age of every American journal, but he does not know the age of his own baby. He knows how every contributior looks, but Ido not believe he can tell whether my eyes are black or blue. They say Mr. Snow is getting rich. All I know is; he gives me money to clothe my boys, and that, too, without a complaint of poverty. I hope the world is right in opin. ion, and when I am safsfied itis, I shall advise him to resign his editorial honors, and spend a few months in becoming ac- quainted with his wife and children. The little ones will feel flattered in making the acquaintance of so literary a man, ------------ There is» well-known aversion among the Scotch to hearing read sermons.

When of the Mick igan Cavarly Brigade at first, Kilpatrick was chief, and the rash way in * which the two young men used to slash about was product" ive of many severe checks to them ; but inf these the wonderful luck of Custer soon-be-- came notorious, and he and his chief repeat edly escaped from the most overwhelmirg odds by dint of nothing but shere dash and and headlong fighting there way out of scrapes. The style dress adopted by Custer at this time had mich to do' with his' notoriety gave him his first reputation. By stretching to its utmost limits the then very elastic regulations for army uniform, he managed to attire himself in a costume that strongly resembled that of one of the gaudy cavaliers of Charles I.'s wars, A black vel- vet jacket and loose trousers, all covered with gold lace, with high boots and a broad shadowy hat were certainlya remarkable costume when they first made their appear ance on an American brigadier general -- When the loose blue sailor's shirt, with & silver star on the collar, wag tied at the neck with a brilliant scarlet necktie, the romantic picteresque effects of this costume were heightened ; and when these were add- ed bright golden ringlets of hair flowing down the-boy leader's. back the picture of romance was complete. This brilliant figure' was every*day to be scen and every battle found it in advance, among or in advance of the men the skirmish line. The evident bravery and dash of the boy.general captured everyone, and the adoration of his men was complete, As time passed on and the griny hard work of the campaign of 1864 supersed the brilliant, dashing style of the cavalry battles of 1863, the character of Custer seem« ed to change. One thing, he was taken away from his rash chief, and under a new and more cautious leader, with steady old Devine beside him in the next brigade, had not so many opportunities for brilliant ex- ploits. The fall of 1864, however, found him in independent command of a division, and it was in that campaign, and especially in the closing struggle ot the lost cause in of a perfect cavalry general. The old heads long rashness made its appearance now only as judicious intrepidity, and by his wonderful trapidity and dash, joined to his wsual luck, Custer managed in the Five Forks campaign to capture some fifty guns and such a num- ber of crimson battle flags that all the air seemed aflame behind him as he rode by at the last review at Washington with his cap- tures. It is safe to say that out of the eivil war Custer claimed a greater brilliancy than that of any officor of his years, and next to Sheridan he deserved it by the luster of his late victories, and no man was so closely identified in the popular mind with the ideas of dash, romance and success. The only leader tofompare with him in this respect was the great southern leader, J, E, Bs Stuart. ------- Domestic.
