the WIFE’S APPEAL..
*’ husband, husband, go oof oat
Again this stormy night,
For snowy clouds have clad the earth
t Within a robe of white.
to the tliat scream,
pJ Lke fiends amid tbcir glee.
And now, subdued, they seem to moan
s A dirge-like melody.
■** Oh ! husband, husband, do not leave
Our fire so bright aud warm, *
To brave the darkness of the night,
And danger of the storm.
The fire it burneth pleasantly
Upon our tidy hearth—
We may be happy here to-night,
And joiu in songs of mirth.
** Think of the many joyous hours •
We have together spent,
When to my grief, your gentle voice,
A charm of music lent.
Think of the bnjy book we read.,
, Etc we in prayer boiv.
here it is—the same good book—
Come, read it to me now.
CUtjHfnk in the cradle, husband look 1
i n jfrhere sleeps due" 1 baby boy :
iny^ wa^os — wa kes—to look on thee,
iAd curls his lip iu joy,
,/h! husband go not out tonight—
Thy wife, thy child entreat;
Our eve shall be a pleasant one,
And our enjoyment sweet.”
He heeds not the fond appeal.
But thrusts his wife aside—
That gentle being, who had been
But one short year a bride.
He braved the snow—he faced the storm,
And journeyed o’er the plain ;
But never to his wife and child
The drunkard came again.

rar FIRST LOVE.
I met her in the rmzy dance—
That charming witch, the village belle,
My heart flew off in her magic glance.
My eyes were fixed by a ‘ secret spell.’
Her hair in glossy ringlets hung,
And roses bloomed upon her cheek.
And pretty teeth played with her tongue,
Wheue’r that member moved to speak.
The brightest star that throng among,
She moved the Goddess of the waltz ;
While many a fair, with envy stung.
Pronounced her giddy, vatu and false.
I sought her home with lover’s speed,
And breathed my passion in her ear—
She blushed, and drooped—she did indeed,
Bat spoke the word 1 wished to hear.
My trembling arm enclosed her zone,
My timid lips essayed a kiss ;
And when her’s gentlv met my own.
Oh, what a thrill of heavenly bliss!
—"But to ! the scene that met my eyes —
The devastation on that face—
How sadly had those roseate dyeS
Grown pale beneath my rude embrace.
The damsel in this sorry p’ight,
Fell in swoon, and feigned to faint,
While I stood there—a ghastlv sight—
Besmeared from eyes to chin with paint!
Her-silken curls ennght in my coat,
And left her head part grey, aud bare ;
She gasped but or.ee—her teeih fell out
And raiugled with her fallen hair.
I seized my hat—sprang to the door.
Rush’d down the yard and leaptlhe fence.
’ 1 uever saw the beauty more—
r> And havn't kissed a woman since !
ird
>* THINK OF IC.
ve Farewell!— and never think of me
C* In lighted hall or lady’s bower;
Farewell !—and never think of me •
In spring sunshine or summer hour!
But when you see a lonely grave.
: Just ivhere a broken “heart might bej
With not one mourner by its sod.
Then—and theu only— think or me !
SISTERLY AFFEC ITO\
Aa a ‘protracted meeting/ recently
held at Ballston Spa, an ancient sister
in the church arose and relieved her
self in the following manner :
;Jl see young ladies here, that think
more of gew-gaws, furbelows, ribbons
atnd laces, than they do of their Crea
tor. 1 loved them once, and adorned
my hat with French artificial flowers,
bright-colored ribbons and sky-blue
trimmings; but 1 found they were
dragging me and wn to destruction so
I look them off and gave them to my*
sister I’
‘I say. Smibo, where does Squire
Peters five V asked a tra veller of a boy
who sat grinning and balancing him
self on a rail.
‘Turn up dat street, den pass dat
pond, den turn to de rght, den to de
left, den si-ike offde old farm side of
Marm Shed’s house, and keep goiu’ on
where you see Phillis-in de field—and
you can't it.’
A gentleman who had kept public
house for many years but whose house
was almost completely hid from the
road by woods, was one day speaking
of the improvements which he intend
ed to make about his premises.
Gentleman/ said he. ‘I intend to op
en a large revenue from the public
highway to my to which I
shall build a condition that I may be
able to detain stragglers in a more
hostile manner/ . V-v

A Libel —One of the most impu*
dent old Imchelois that we ever hid |
the misfortune to meet, says the Bos
ton Post, sent us the following libel!
“We men have many faults ;
.- Poor women have hut two
There’s nothing good they say, ‘
There’s nothing good they do ”
Practice and Precept. —That which
thou hast to do, do it with all thy might,
said a clergyman to his s m one morning.
‘So I did this itu ruing/ replied Bil with
an enthusiastic gleam in his eye.
•Ah! what was it, my darling.’ and the
lather’s hand ran through his offspring's
curls.
’ Why, 1 walloped Jack Edwards till
he yelled like thunder; you should just
have heard him holler dad.’
Dad looked unhappy, while he ex
plained that the precept did not imply a
case like that, and concluded- .mildly
with—
‘ You should not have done that my
son.’
•Then he’d a wallopped me/ retorted
Bill.
‘ Better,’expostulated his sire, ‘for you
to have flpd from the wrath to come.’
‘Yes. but.'—argued Bill, by way of a
final clincher, ‘Jack can run twice as fast
as I can.’
The good man sighed, went to his stu
dy. took a pen, and endeavored to com
pose himself and a sermon reconciling
Practice with Precept.
Prttly little Thought —The Squirrel

The young lady who was ‘buried in
grief,’ is now alive and doing well. It
wat a case of premature interment.
The man who was ‘ fired with indigna
tion,’Tias been extinguished.
The man who couldn’t ‘trust his feel
ings,’ is supposed to do business strictly
on the cash principle.
‘Ma, ma. cousin Bill he’s in the parlor
with sister Jane, and he keeps biting her.’
‘What, William biting my June?’
‘ Yes’m, I seed him do it ever so many
times! bite her right on the mouth and
ihetarna! gal don’t hollow a bit, toother*’
•Ah! never mind, Ned, I guess he did
not hurt her much.’
‘Hurt her! cracky, why she loves it,
she does ; co3 she kept letting him, and
did not say nothing, but just smacked her;
lips as it it was good, she did. I seed it
all through the key hole. I'll fire talers,

Two Irishmen were in prison—one fofc

It is said that maav of ‘ the private sol
