He became so busy that he remained out most of the night, and when he came home she would pity him that business exhausted him so much. His eyes became heavy and his feet tangled with each other, and any one else except «woman of this kind would attribute it to some other cause Law may exhaust the head, but It never does the legs. She besought him with her arms about his neck to rest or it would kill him. At last he was brought home in a complete state of exhaustion by a friend who was not so much exhausted, though it was a question as to which brought the other home. He explained next day that it must have been an attack of vertigo. BTONE QUARAY.

I have different things to attract my attention, but Hannah Jane was a remarkable creature; she had the form of a Venus, the suppleness of the panther. Hannah Jane's physical attractions were of the most thrilling description. Petroleum said that she was one for whom on« might endure— might endure—endure even a motherin-law. But the smile of a pretty girl is nothing if she is in the arm of another fellow. The proof of Hannah Jane's beauty was that all tbo men adored her, and all the other girls hated her. The latter could not see what the attraction was, but she was, after all, the matrimonial salvation of all the girls in the neighborhood. Bhe lighted the fires of love in all the young men's hearts, and not getting1 Hannah Jane, they consented to take somebody else.

I would have her strong and self-reliant, marching abreast with her husband; not dragging but sustaining and being sustained. I would have a yoke fitted to each, so that they may work together—not the head gold, and the feet clay, but aP. gold. I would have them so educated that the husband will be proud of his wife; something he could respect after he loved her. And this is the first step to the greatness of our nation, for as the mothers of a people are, so are the sons. I would give lier intelligence and will—strengthen her hands by strengthening her mind.

Hard labor is the SPEAK Gkntly.— A loud, boisterous tone shows a want of good breeding. The first principle of politeness is to make those around you feel pleasant, and u rude coarse manner of speaking is annoying to most persons.

It was not necessary for Hannah Jane to have any education—her beauty would get a husband, and that was all that she needed. A girl with a husband is settled, and the most of them are most eflectually settled. She spelled kiss with one «, and dear with a double c without any a. She" preferred the Independent In Its old form, and had a great affection for papers the size of the Public Ledger, though she read ceithcr, bnt her lover, Abel Merriweather, cared nothing for this. He bad nothing to support one on, but he attempted to support two on the same thing, ller mouth, teeth, eyes, and hair were put in opposition to all faults alleged against her. But he said, "What will support one, will support two." Horrible fallacy! As well might we say that two pounds of beefsteak could be bought for the price one.

She said, " I have given all this to him, and he will love me more for the sacrifice." At thirtyfive Merriweather was a judge; at forty a Representative with national reputation. He had made a good living, but was not rich. He had consorted with the best; he had read and heard and heard others read; was bright, and recognized as such everywhere. I have always regretted that he did not live in our day of Credit Mobiller. iiut Hannah Jane was not bright, and Mr. Merriweather was astonished. She, if she had lived in these days, would have kuowu nothing of Tilton or Mrs. Woodliull. We aro told of the death of an America!! named Roberts in Ijondon, leaving a fortune of $900,000.
