THE IIAPPY-rPflfAPPY COUPLE. Wc may be wrong, but somehow or 5other, when we hear a couple "my darling" jand "my loving-" each other, in society, wc scannot help thinking that they lead a cat-^and-dog life at home. We have had this •demonstration so often, that it appears like la fixed fa'-tin our mind. Hut whether this •honeymoon stvle of address be genuine or| affected, we dislike lo hear it very much.-—j 'Terms of such warm endearment should be! kept for the closet. There is enough of the •ianimal about it to make it about as disgustsing and indecent as (lie parading of bridal ^chambers on steamboats and hotels and'

There were Mr. and Mrs. Stubbs, that we had the infelicity of knowing, some •years ago. A couple of more loving people, iin company, never existed. They were billing and cooing all the time. Mr. S. appeared so kind and attentive, that he seemed as though lie could not let the winds of heaven blow upon her ever so genlly "Leonora, my dovey, donL' sit near the -window, in the draft I know it, will take ?cold, and then what will poor Luhby do?" .Then she replies: 5 "No danger, Lubhy dear, and the fresh nir is so delightful." "Well, then, let Lubhy put this handkerchief round your neck." "Thank you, love." "Darling Leonora, you known you must stake care of yourself, forLubbv's sake for *what would be this glittering world but dismal tomb.lgMKiss me, dear!"

Many such'""scenes have wc witnessed between this happy couple. We were syoung then, and we thought it real, and isighed to think, when it became our turn to wear the baiuU of matrimony, if we sshould be4as happv as Mr. and Mrs. Stubbs snppeared to be.

We have been rather :u.lelv awakened sfrom the dream of our youth, and have long since discovered that Mr. and Mrs. sStubbs were a couple of li vpocrites, who assumed, with their parly dress, the garb in :which we have endeavored to portray them.

We were very much shocked the fir.-L lime i'wc discovered the condition of things betvvccn Mr. ami Mrs. S:ulbs.

AVe had been in the habit of calling in upon the S.'s sans cercmonie. One day, saftcr strolling round the garden, we went

into the house, and meeting no one, we walked into the parlor and look our seat, 'lo look over the annuals, which lay upon the ^centre table. We had scarcely been seated a moment, when we were startled by a loud and angry altercation in the next broom. The voices sounded very much

An hysteric scream followed this cruel speech of the irate Stubbs, which so startled us that we let fall the book that we had in sour hand. The noise of the book hilling, iand our suddenly starting up, apprised ithem that they had been heard. There was a loud whisper from one of the party. .. ."There now, we've a pretty expose the story will be told all about, and we shall be the laughing stock of our acquaintance." "Well, my darling, why did you not say you were only joking in refusing me the •sgown. and making believe that you were iangry with your Leonora." "1 thought, my angel, you knew meVell enough to know that 1 should refuse you nothing, in earnest."

We had just got outside the parlor door, in the hall, when wc heard the door which communicated with the sitting-room and porlor, open, and the footsteps, like Stubbs, enter the lalter.

There is nobody here, madam!" "Well, I didn't say there was!" "Indeed! Well now, madam. I want to tell vou, plainly, distinctly, and emphatically. that I'll be if I pay for anew gown!"

Such is the life of happy-unhappy couples. True affection, devoted to a single object, is timid and retiring. It never seeks to display itself "before folks' and when we see a too open display, we always think it is a simulation, and treat it as a cheat.

LAW.—Law is a country dance—people are led up and down in it till they are fairly tired out. Law is like a book of surgery—there are a great many terrible cases. It is like physic, too, they that take the least of it are best ofi". It is like a scolding wife—very bad when it follows us. Law is like a new fashion—people are bewitched to get into it, and like bad weather, -most people.arc glad to g*t out of iu

like those under the government of Mr. and fleet upon the fitness of things in general, Mrs. Stubbs, but seemed so impossible, that we felt inclined lo doubt the evidence Kf our senses, until names were given, which !iio longer left room to doubt. "I don't care what you say, Mr. Stubbs if I can't appear as oilier ladies do in company, I will not go out at all. I have not sn dress fit to wear." "Mrs. S., you must put an end to your icxtravagance. It is not a month ago since :vou run me to a great expense for three new dresses, and now you want another. You cannot have one madam." "But I will." "Rill vou shall not. madam!" "But .1 say 1 will! and when I say it, I .mean it." "You shan't!" \."lwi:i!" if I pay for it. You 'I'll be dht to be ashamed—a married ought to oe ashamed—a married woman. with two children, no longer young, whose beauty is on the wane."

I'd like to marry a widow I allers liked widows since I knowed one down in Georgia that suited my ideas, adzacily.

I he Squire always gives a short laugh after telling this anecdote, and then filling and lighting his pipe, subsides into an armchair in front of the "Exchanges," and indulges in calm and dreamy reflection.

FASHION—WHAT Nil IXFS. Fashion rules the world, and a most tyrannical mistress she is, compelling people to submit to the most inconvenient things imaginable, for fashion's sake.

She makes people sit up at night when they ought to be in bed, and keeps them in bed in the morning when they ought to be up and d3ing. I She makes it vulgar to wait upon ourselves. and genteel to live idle and useless. I

She ruins health and produces sickness, destroys life and occasions death. She makes foolish parents, invalids of children, servants of all.

She is a tormentor of conscience, des-| poiler of morality, and an enemy to relig-1 ion, and no one can be her companion and enjoy cither.

She is a despot of the highest grade, full

wives, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, and servants, black and white, voluntarily become her obedient servants and slaves, and vie with one another to see who shall be the most obsequious.

AN EDITOR'S LIFE.

The Demopolis Sentinel thus plainly discourses on this subject: •'i he fate of an editor is beyond question a hard one. Other kinds of business have intervals of relaxation,_ in which the energies of the mind are invigorated bv change but there is no rest for either publisher or cditor. It is his duty to cater to the amusement of his readers, and in seeking to perform this part of his duty, he chains himself down, and while the laugh is merrily ringing under his office, and everybody is exulting in exemption from labor he is taxing every faculty, turning his brains 'topsy tur-' vy'—ransacking huge piles of insipid papers in quest of something for his readers

Those who have never felt the necessity of writing, regardless of the condition of the body or the frame of mind and can form no adequate conception of the hardships of the editorial life. When he has written, then comes the tug. Every blockhead has to pick at and criticise his articles. The grave and the phlegmatic have no relish ior anecdotes, and the devil-may-care sort of a fellow thinks that too much space is devoted to grave matters—the house-wife scolds her husband for taking the paper because there are no recipes in it for making [iies or curing whooping cough—old maids are angry because no more marriages are announced. Tints it is that an editor can never please everybody.
