From the New York World. Wife. • BY SALLIE J. BATTEY. “I assure yotßt is all in management, my dears,” exclaimed pretty little Dlrs. Adr-i --nnee, at a “tea-drinking,” in answer to the questionings of her guests. it passelh comprehension,” replied a chorus of voices. Mrs. Adriance was not a heroine, and had no idea of becoming a social oracle; she simply understood the art of home making, and rendering the family life a success, even though her income was small and her family largo. She understood that exquisite tact and the finest ingenuity were requisite to make ends meet; yet Phil. Adriance bore himself more like a lord than a poor man, and Mrs. Adriance dressed better, went out oftencr— in short, revivedfrom her life a more sat isfactory- return than many who counted thousands to her hundreds. Os course the finest, shades of diplomacy were railed in tlieJ ttainment of such a result, and *!hW vtwihy coterie of Lynton grange went bent on sifting the sorcery and arriving at the condition of things en chrys alis. No doubt her experience was well worth relating, and enre-worn matrons of five and thirty’ looked into the fresh young face not many months their junior with a wist ful questioning that told its own story. In the length and breadth of that sunny southern land (here had once been no fairer girl than Alice Merideth, who outraged friends and society by marrying the present Master of Lynton grange. Many had pre dicted her downfall, but the young head was still upheld, and the joyous eyes of Phil. Adriance revealed the fact that he was a happy man, which is the first step toward being a successful and honorable one. This, then, was the structure set upon a shaky foundation. Il was wonderful 1 She smiled saucily Pi rreognilion of their thoughts, and said simply : “I will tell you about the manner in which I ‘threw myself away,’ matrimoni ally, as my friends were kind enough to predict,” she said, mischievously. “Knowing Phil's weakness,” suggested Mrs. Wilburn, apologetically. Which, through judicious management, was converted into strength,” interrupted his wife, with humid eyes. “I know,” she continued, seeing her lis teners look incredulous, “if there is one thing above another of which men have a holy iiorror, it is a managing woman. T bey ‘ seem to embody all the objectionable ele I meats of strong-mindedness in the shape ot the traditional thorn in the flesh. But you see, my dears, there are various ways and 1 means of doing things, and the right way | is just as easy as the wrong one, if we only I know which is which.

Virtue and Intelligence —The Safeguards of Liberty. Os course it requires management, but the same rule applies to every case. Men and things are much the same, the world over.’ “Do you mean to tell me,” asked her lis tener eagerly, “that model Phil, of yours did not rebel when you took away bis liquor and cards ?” “I did not take them away,” she replied, quickly; “and there is the secret. You can not conquer a man by flying into the face of his predilections any more than you can convince him it is for his good to amputate bis limbs. Habits are a kind of moral limbs, you know ; and there is more in volved in a correct understanding of these things than many women imagine. Hence they go on blundering to the end, and soci ety is called upon to chronicle such denoue ments as disgrace the matrimonial record. But I will lull you just how I Phil. “During our courtship he spent his even ings generally with me. Ot course there were exceptions, the traces of which were always visible. Such excesses of appetite tell their own story—full of unreckoned pathos. Many see only the other side, and are full of censure and contempt for what they esteem weakness. Many a woman would have faltered, remembering only her self. I knew I had a work to perform; that my destiny was to be indeed the help meet of this noble though misguided man, whom I loved to idolatry. I must be his strength. I knew to be given what he needed of care and direction would take away the old desire completely. A temp tation is deprived of its prestige if we meet and fuco it tairly. Give to man or child the sweets or playthings they covet, and the wild longing for them is gone. This was my line ot policy, and it acted like a charm. Phil.’s old friends were present at our wed ding—not bad fellows at all, possessing fine tastes and cultivated to a degree, merely dissipated for lack of equipoise; all gener ous to a fault, yet holding much too lightly the gifts of life. The house-warming they gave us on our return trom travel was some thing tremendous, for they all loved Phil, and he loved them. “No doubL many a wise and prudont woman Would have been jealous of theif influence over her young husband, and deemed it proper to discountenance the rival intimacy. I simply sought to turn it to the best account, taking care that the boon companions of Phil. Adriance should respect and care for his wife. “They came and went as they chose. The wines they liked were always on the table without stint. I joined them in their games, making myself as agreeable as pos sible, and rendering our house more at tractive than their club-rooms. Men will only go from home to find what they have not within its atmosphere. Phil.’s happi ness and contentment showed me I bad made of my venture a grand success. In doing good to him, I had helped the others too “One after another married, and became, as you know, excellent men. Go where you will, you will fiud none more exempla ry than the officers of .Lynton grange. Yet men are such puppets in the toils of cir cumstances, who knows but that Taylor and Hindman and Randolph and St. Clair, and all the other Patrons of Husbandry might have become—well, something less praiseworthy thun Lhe substantial public spirited citizens who are esteemed an honor to communities and a benefit to mankind.” “Bravo 1” exclaimed the ladies in chorus. “But,” demurred sweet little Airs. St. Clair, blushing, “man’s dangerous associ ates are not always those of bis own sex. One designing woman can do more damage than a dozen men; and I hojie you would not have one make a guest ot one’s hus band’s inamorata?” “Precisely. If she is at all eligible, cul tivate her by all meaas. Her arts will tail powerices in the pure, pleasant atmosphere of his wife.” “And suffer by the contact,” pouted the little lady, defiantly. “These women, who go about ‘seeking whom they may devour,’ are usually the idlers of society, ami having nothing to do but to make themselves pret ty and fascinating, hold a busy wife ata serious disadvantage.” “On the contrary, possessing the vantage ground of his esteem, she has the power to [shine all the brighter by contrast. It is a woman's fault if her husband is not always her lover. She can hold, if she will, the supreme place in his life.” “All married people can not be like you and Phil.—always lovers. Children take one’s ’ 'me, and household duties are dire [ foes to pleasure,” [ . Children may be so disciplined as not to venture intrusion upon the hours set apart for the enjoyment of the older mem bers of the family, ’ answered Mrs. Adri ance. “I am very fond of children, and i have the highest respect for their rights and privileges, but likewise hold sacred the im- I munities of grown people; and I think, of all mistaken martyrdoms, that which suf fers every woman to be broken in upon by [ these small marauders, who respect nothing [ under the sun, and by reason of their petty i selfish nets are as likely to become a bother las a blessing, is the greater. A pqjlion ot I mv time i=> given to my children, but I : never allow them in any sense to encroach upon the hours which are clue to my hus band. The day is theirs; the evening, whether at home or abroad, is given to his amusement and entertainment. The larger boys and girls often join our games up to a certain hour, and thus assist in making papa’s home-coming a general holiday. “As regards the household duties, we have reduced our work to such a perfect system that it is a recreation rather than a task. Phil, —dear soul! who tries to spare us all he can, is always bringing home some contrivance for lightening our labors —of which our organization would do well to avail itself. He holds that every moment saved to labor is so much gained to cul ture ; and-Jthere are so many contrivances of this nature, it is a pity not to bring to bear any invention of genius which may aid talent and industry to work out the problem of life.” “You do your sewing, too, do you not ?” inquired one of her listeners. “Yes; that is, dressmaking. Though, with the aid of accurate patterns artel a machine, that is an easy matter. Phil.’s shirts, our underwear, and the children’s clothing, I order from New through a lady resident, who has reduced shopping to such a line art that slie can send us just what we need, with the aid of accurate measurements, at figures so reasonable as to amaze one who does not understand the advantage, of buying at the fountain-head. Then, too, her suggestions are worth every thing to me. Her fashion and household articles in our weekly paper are so prac tical. She tells me just how to make the most of everything, and renders it so easy, I do not think I could get along without her.” “And your hats, too? Docs she order them for you ?” “No ; I make them I” “What! Why they are like the pictures I sec in tire fashion magazine!” “Tet the ‘Rousby’ I wear consists of a Chantilly vail many yearn old, puffed over a Neapolitan straw in vogue many years ago. I simply turned the brim down at •hn. and sides and square up at the back, inkling a few sprays of scarlet gera nium. That is my dress hut,” “But you have a ‘Derby,* in the latest style,” persisted little Mrs. St. Clair, noth ing loth to get at the secret of the speaker's usual attractiveness; for none knew better than the Grange master’s wife that the plainest woman was susceptible of wonder ful pqMWllities under the mysterious appro priations Os a charmingly successful toilet. “That is iny’English walking-hat of last season, with the brim flattened, a few extra braids let into the crown, surmounted by an azure wing and draped about with sev eral yards of tissue a la mode. My New York friend planned it. Phil, says she is a trump. Do you know she fits him in cloth ing better than his own tailor at one-half the trouble and expense.” “I will write to her myself,” exclaimed Mrs. Venable. “The times are so hard, I thought of making over the girls’ dresses this season, and would like suggestions and fresh trimmings. Then, too, 1 want a new carpet and some plated ware, and I learn they may be bought now at greatly reduced prices.” “True,” answered Mrs. Adriance, “and economy consists less in what is made than what is saved, and really getting the most out ot the resources at command. In no other way can the problem ot human hap piness lie solved, with a view to individual success and national prosperity.” “But,” queried Mrs. Wainwright, “being so busy for yourself and family, how is it you find so much time to assist others ?” “Simply by showing them how to be in dependent enough to help themselves. One example is better than a thousand prccep’s, you know.” True. Everywhere was felt the influence of Mrs. Adriance. Yet her aid was so del | icately rendered, her suggestions so defer ential, that no one felt offended or misun : derstood the motive of her friendly inter ference. To fiud the way is often harder than to walk in it. Tea was announced. —■ » • The Story cf an Arab. I - i The story of a Cincinnati newsboy who , found a pocket-book containing one thou isand dollars and returned it to the owner ; • with contents intact reached Philadelphia in ; i i good season, and was productive of cons.d- I I j erable of a sensation among the street Arabs. ( !

It is yours. Yon ® dropped it juat now. My mother and seven J little brothers are starving, but I cannot keep j it, sir, for it don't belong to me.’ The old i gentleman looked at the boy, then pulled out his spectacles and adjusted them fora better sight. He could not sufficiently ad mire the wan visage of that little street wan derer, illuminated as it was with a glow of goodness and honesty. He patted the boy on the head, and pull ing out a five dollar bill from his vest pock et, handed it to him, saying, “Boy, you will grow to be a great man. Take this money for your starving family, and always remem ber that “honesty is the best policy.” Then the old gentleman skurried into the nearest lager beer saloon, and opened his pocket book, Then he began to dance around and call on heaven and earth to witness that if ever he encountered that boy again he would flay him alive. And he continued to orate until a policeman was called in to ar rest- him as ft lunatic, and the only excuse he could give for his conduct was that a small boy bad robbed him of five dollars by giving him a pockgVbook stuffed with old paper. The Span of Life. Some philosophers have divided the three score and ten years allotted to human life into ten periods of seven years each, and have given us the following summary of existence : Seven years in childhood’s sport and play, 7. Seven years in school from day to day, 14. Seven years al trade or in college life, 21. Seven years to find a place and wife, 28. Seven years to pleasure’s follies given, 35. Seven years to business hardly driven, 42. Seven years for some wild goose chase, 49. Seven years for wealth and bootless race, 56. Seven years for hoarding for your heir, 63. Seven years in weakness, pain, ann care, 70 Then die and go—you should know where. It is also said that the constituents of the human body are entirely changed, and the whole physical man altogether renewed, du ring each of these septennial periods. The termination of each septenary, is called a climacteric; and these have been supposed to be critical periods, attended with some change in the body, health or fortune; and that when each is fairly passed there is a reasonable prospect of life until the next one is reached. This has been more particular ly and generally remarked with regal’d to the seventh climacteric, (7 times 7), when the 50th year of age is entered upon. The age of 63 (9 times 7) is termed the grand climacteric, because it is the multiple of 7 by the last, or highest digit (9), and because it is the highest, or last, climacteric period, beyond which there is not any promise or assurance of life. Sand Papeh.—One of the odd industries, the nature and extent of which are compar atively little known, is the manufacture of sand paper, the amount of which article an nually produced in the United States is es timated at over 200,000 reams, including the various grades and qualities. Former ly it was made of ordinary brown paper, glue, and sand. At present, for the most part, the paper is made of old rope, the best quality of glue is used, and, instead of sand, pulverized quartz or flint. By this means a superior fabric is produced, of a constant ly uniformed grade, and at so low a price that the use of it has become greatly exten ded, large quantities being exported to Eu rope. South America, the Pacific Islands, and elsewhere. For emery cloth a large demand has been created by the finished iron work in steam engine shops, the sew ing machine factories, and other similar in dustries wnich require them for polishing purposes. Wear a Smile. —Which will you do — smile and make others happy, or be crabbed and muke every-body around you miserable? Y’ou can live among flowers and singing birds, or in the mire, surrounded by fogs and frogs. The amount of happiness which you can produce is incalculable, if you will only show a smiling face, a kind heart, and speak pleasant words. On the other hand, by sour looks, cross words, and a fretful dis position, you can make hundreds unhappy almost beyond endurance. Which will you do* Wear a pleasant countenance; let joy beam in your eye, and love glow on your fore-head. There is no joy so great as that which springs from a kind act or pleasant deed, and you may feel it at night when you rest, and at morning when you rise, and i throughout the day when about your daily j business. I A short time ago, a congregation were ; assembled in a church in one of our large I cities. A collection was taken up for some I purpose, and a Mr. A., when the hat reach ! ed him, put in his customary plea of pover ! ty, although be was worth mßre than a great many who had contributed liberally. At the close of the service, the mourners 1 were called up, and after prayer, the hymn, “I’m glad salvation’* tree,” was sung by the congregation, and Mr A. entered into it, ' with unusual zest.
