Her father's heart is stubborn and ar

Hr. Smith Lounges on the Sofa Mrs
Smith Lectures mm tor it.
There is tv touch of practical good
sense about the following that will he
appreciated hy many. We find it in
the Marysvilhi Tribune:
"I declare, Mr. Smith, this is too
had. 1 lore you are st retched out on
the sofa, mussing it up, and my nice
carpet is all spoiled by tho tramp of
your coarse bonis. 1 sdiall be ashamed
0 bring any one into tho parlor again
and 1 have taken so much pains to
keep everything men. 1 do think, Mr.
(Smith, you are the most thoughtless,
careless man, 1 rverdid see you don't
appear to care hoxv iiiueh trouble you
give me, If 1 hail no more care than
you bad, we would soon have a nice
looking house it will not be long till
our new house and furniture will he
just as had as tho old," said John
Smith's wifo to him, as she saw him
ia the parlor taking a 'imp on
the
and the weather was so hot, ami this
room so quid iin leool ami the sofa
looked so inviting, that. I could not re
sist. he temptation to snooze, a little.
I thought when we were building a
new bouse, and furnishing it thus, we
were doing it because the old house
and I'uriii'.ufo were not so conil'orlahle
and desirable, an I that 1 and my own
dear Mary would indulge ourselves in
alittleuuiet Ici.-iUre in these nice rooms
am
I if we chose, in lounging

I did not dream of displeasing vou,
.Mary, and I thought it would give you
pleasure to see me enjoying a nap on
the sofa this afternoon. I notion when
Mr. Mcrchunt Swell, or Col. liigmnn,
and their families are here, you appear
delighted to have solas ami chushioned
arm chairs for lliem to sit in or lounge
upon. 1 thought tho house and the
solas were for us that we were seekg
ing our own pleasure when we paid a
largo sum of money for lliem; but 1
suppose 1 was mistaken, and that the
house and furniture aro for strangers,
and that we aro to sit in the old kitch
en, and if I want to take a nap, or rest
it little when fatigued, I am to lie down
on a slab in the wood-house; and if
you want to rest, you can go to the
chidreii's bed-room, xvheru the Hies
can have a chntiee at you.
The irony of .Mr. Smith's reply only
provoked his wife, and seeing himself
threatened with a repetition of Mrs.
.Smith's speech, with unpleasant ad
ditions and variations, and knowing
that he would get tired of gaining vie
tories over her in argument, before
she would think of getting tired of
defeat, he took himself out, and left
Mrs. Smith to fix up and dust our, and
lock him out of his own house, and
took a seat in the old chair in the
kitchen which Mrs. Smith said was
good enough to use every day in the
kitchen, where no one sees it.
Tour mistake, Mrs. Smith, thought 1
And jet most women are like her.
They xvunta line house, and when they
get it they xvant an outhouse built to
live in, and they confine their families
to a few small rooms, poorly furnished,
while the main rooms, well-furnished,
are never seen by the family only
when visitors come! lloth houses and
furniture are too grand for use. The
carpet is too fine for their husbands to
walk on the mirrors too fine for him
lo look into the furniture all too fine
for him to sec or use. Just so it goes;
wc dress wo women, J mean and 1
am sorry that many men arc as foolish
as we are, to pleaso others, or rather
to excito their remarks; wc build hou
ses and furnish them for those outside
tho family, and live as poorly when
wo arc rich as wc did w hen we were
poor; as poorly in tho new house as in
the old.
It is a fatal day for enjoyment when
a family gets a house and furniture
too line for use; and yet most women
have an ambition to have it so,
Better would it bo if they were con
tented with such a house and such
furniture as Is suited to every day use
the house large enough to accom
modate one's friends, and the furniture
such as all use when at home.

and noble, uud true. It is in all hizh
thoughts nursed upon the bosom of

throne of Intellect, and with its ahnd

annntrn over tho heart. From the
four rivers of Eden it flashed from the
trippling wavelets. It hummed a
sweet song in fragrant zephyrs that
fanned the cheek of mother Eve. It
smiled from leafy Valambrosia, and
glittered Crom the Htars that gleamed
like lances from "the deep gallilre."
It lias-lingered upon the trembling..
