She should be a woman in whom we bad all the confidence iu the woi IJ, one a man would be proud to itinke happy, and w hose pride would be in her husband's success, happiness, reputation, her own good name, her person, her friendship, her house, and the purity of her heart.-;. ‘Barling 1 means everything, words un spoken, caiewes ripening for love to feed on, volumes unwritten; kind action waiting opportunity; hopes unexpressed; faith un told for want of suitable words. It is the flower which beautifies tba tree that l iars the most delicious fruit in seasons. The word is a volume. It means more than one can express; tlio clasping of tho spirit bands of love in heart-worship of the due nnd good; the word rainbow which .spans •the sky of hope and life; tho bursting of the bud of the most beautiful flower which sheds a perfume over the hearts of those twho love. We have answered our correspondent hastily, not fully, for the word is a text for an endless camion, and should only ap ply to a sweetheart, wife, the little darlings which are dear to you because children of the first darling. It is a differeut word, a longer word, a more meaning wor (Pth an Vet, though often tned in its place. Is Religion Beautiful?—Always! In the child, the maiden, the wife, the mother, religion shines with a holy benig nant beauty of its own, which nothing on earth cau mar. Never yet was tbe female character perfect without the steady faith, piety. Beauty, intellect, wealth ! they are like pitfalls, dark on the brightest day, un less religion throws her soft beam3 arouud them to purify and exalt, making twice glorious that which seemed all loneliness before. Religion is very beautiful, in health or sickness, in wealth or poverty. We can never enter the sick chamber of the good, but soft music seems to float on tbe air, nnd the burden of their song is, ‘Lo ! peace inhere 1 Could we look into thousands of fami lies to day, when discontent fights sullen ly with life, we should find the chief cause of unhappiness, want of religion in woman. O, religion ! benignant majesty, high on tfay throne thou siuest, glorious and exal ted. Not above tbe clouds, for earth clouds come never between thee and the truly pi ous souls; not beneath the clouds for above these is heaven, opening through a broad vista of exceeding beauty. Is religion beautiful? We answer all is desolation and deformity where religion is nob Right Pbikcifub is Diums. *->■ Tbe true and light principle In dress ia the same for a wotting woman as for a duch ess. To wear such clothes as we can pur sue our accustomed occupation in, without spoiling them; to look like what we are and not like what we are not; to be com fortable in and out of doors; and to have a pleasant, and, if possible, a pretty ap pearance. “Oh, dear !’’ blubbered ont an urchin, who had been suffering from the applica tion of the birch. *Ob, my ! they tell me .that forty rodß make a furlong, but I cau tell a bigger story than that.

How TO "’Determine "Where Water Ts.—At n recent meeting of the American Institute Farmers' Club, a member related his experience in this matter as foliow*,; •‘An Irishman in his employment, in order to ascertain Where he ought to dig to ' ob tain water soonest, got a stone and bu.ied it over night in thoground, next to the hardpan. In the morniugbe fouud it quite tooist, but not suffioiantly so to suit his fancy. Next rdgftt heAried ft In another spot, und it was found very wet on the fol lowing. ‘There,’ suid Patrick, ‘you will find water not many feet deep, and plenty of it, I —-Sure enough, in a fatv days’ dig* ging, Patrick confirmed his prediction, not withstanding the jeers of tbu workmen— finding a vein which filled the well to over flowing, and rendering it exceedingly dif ficult to bail out the water so as -to stoDe it, Tbe philosophy of tbe operation seems to be that as great evaporation takes place from tho surface of tho earth during the night, tiro water rises up from the depths below to supply the loss, and accumulates in the vicinity of the stone, often making quite a puddle.'' oue has said that a young mother is the most beautiful thing in nature. Why qualify it? Why young! Are not all mothers beautiful ? The senti mental outside beholder may prefer youth in the pretty picture ; but I am inclined to think that sons and daughters, who are the most intimately concerned in tho matter, love and admire their mother* most when they are old. How suggestive of some thing holy and venerable it is when a per son talks of bis “dear old mother 1” Away with your mincing ‘matn-mae,’ and ‘mam mas,’ sugg, stive only of a fine lady, who deputes bet duties to a nurse, a draw ing room maternal parent, who, is afraid to handle her offspring for fear of spoiling her fine new gown. .Give nte the homely mother, the arms of whoso love are all em bracing, who is beautiful always, whether old or young, whether arrayed iu satin, or modestly habited in bombazine. The NEWSfArEn.—An old gentleman remarked to us some years ago : “My son you are about to beebme, I learn, the editor of a newspaper. Permit an old mao to give you this piece of advice— if you desire success in that capacity, you should in each paper publish one column for a sensible man and two for a fool.’ We give his opinion without comment.
