As a rule, too, dissase and permaature age follow the attempt to carry a wife and mother‘s burden in early youth. The husâ€" band, by dint of intercourse with men, guins knowledgo and intelligence far in advance of his wife, and regards her as a dead weight, a mill stone hung around his neek.

A diverting | exception to the general rule is afforded by | the suicidal enterprise of a Hungarian enâ€" gineer, resident at Tamsovar, who being a steaifast votary of Bacchas, had drunk himself into such an unsatisfactory state of mind that, a few days ago be decided to put an end to his existence. Having proâ€" | vided himself with a pistol, and locked | himself up in a private room of the hotel | in the town, which apartment he had specâ€" | ially hired for the purpose, he placed the ! muzzle of the piece against his breast and f pulled the trigger.

Dissoluâ€" tion, however, having failed to set in as promptly as he expected,he prosently arose, left the hotel, and walked home, with & view to dying comfortably in his own apartâ€" ment. _A little later on, perplexed by his unaccountable vitality, he sent for a surâ€" geon to examine the wound. Beyond a slight scorching of the skin, no injury 1could be detected ; and, while the surgeon i was vainly searching for a mortal hurt, his patient anxiously enquired where the bulâ€" let had lodged.

Time has scattered snowy flakes on her brow,ploughâ€" ed deep furrows on her cheeks, but is she not sweet and beantiful now? The lips are thin and shrunken, but those are the lips which have kissed many a hot tear from the childish cheeks, and they are the smwectest lips in the world. The eye is dim, yet it glows with the soft radiance that can never fado. Ab, yes,she is a dear old mother. The sands of life are nearly run out, but, feeble as she is, she will go further and reach down lower for you than any other upon earth. You cannot enter a prison whose bars can keep her out; you eaunot mount a seaffold too high for her to reach that she can kiss and bless you in evidence of her deathless love when the world shall despiso and forsake you; when it leaves you by the wayside to porish unâ€" noticed, the dear old mother will gather you in her feeble armse and carry you home and tell you all your virtues until you al most forget your soul is disfiqured by viees. L e her tenderly, and cheer her declining years with holy devotion. Ajudicious wife is always nipping off from ber Lhusbands moral nature little twigs that are growing in wrong directionsâ€" She kseps him in shape by continual prunâ€" ing. If you say anything silly she will tell you so. If you declare that you will do wome abesurd thing, she will find some means of preventing you from doing it. lAnd by far the chief part of all the comâ€" mon sense there is in this world belongs unquestionably to women. ‘The wisest things a man commonly does are those which his wife counsels him to do.

If Johnson‘s wife had lived there would have been no hoarding up of orange peel, no touching all the posts in walking along the streets, no eating and drinking with a disgusting voracity. If Olver Goldsmith had been married he never would have worn that memorable and rediculous coat, Whenever you find a man whom you know little about, oddly dressed, or talking abâ€" surdly, or exhibiting eccentricity of manâ€" ner, you may be sure that he is not a marâ€" ried man, for the corners are rounded off â€"the little shoots pared awayâ€"in married men.
