THE WIFE. ■ "■ Oa earth, to man there is b~t one His heart eai. lose, bis sot' can o»n; Though myriads flit before bis view. There is but one to whom be a true. That one can sway him to and fro; Can make him drain the cup of woe; Can give him joy or blast his life: And '.hat one’s name is simply wife. Fit ie that name a world is sphered, A world by all beloved, revered, Who have the arnae to know its worth. And spurn the gundy leys of earth; Fort : at full heart in h r dear breast. If rightly prised, eternal rest Is not with blissful sweets more rife, Than that pure heart, a loving wife. Cogitations of a Loafer. I haint no home on earih, Nor no where else. I s pc*; ifisfvrt .ne follows me Where'er about I goes.' J s’pcre that when I dies, r i"i ■-t e-’ei, And made to loaf about Octside the walls of Heaven, With none to take me in. No friendly hand to greet me, No voice to cheer oe up, Nora darn’d soul to treat me! .s ■ -— , . —w How Ben Purtie got his Wife. The very climax of ugliness was Ben Pur.le. He was red headed, and each hair stood as if it cherished the supreme*; contempt for its next neighbor. His face was freckled as the most bespotted turkey egg. His nose supported at the bridge a huge bump, while the end turned viciously to one side. His mouth had every shape but a pretty shape. His form was uncouth, as Lis face was ugly. He was atoop-shou’.dered, knock-kneed, flat-foot-ed and well, he was ugly. The very ehmaxof ugliness was Ben Purtle—what was more strange still, Ben had a handsome, bouncing, blooming wife—such as

ot-ty can be grown upon a country farm •How the deuce,’ said I to Ben one dav 'did you ever get such a wife, you uncouth tnisshappen quintescen»e of eolitrosity.’ •Well, now gals what’s sensible ain’t cotehed by none of your party faces and hifalutin’ airs. I’ve seen that tried more an* once. You know Kate was alien considered the puniest gal in these parts and all the fellers in the neighborhood used to try to cotch her. Well. I usee to go over io old Samrnys too, jist to kinder look on you know, and east sheep eyes at Kate. But Lord sakes’ I had no more tl.oiig’ii 1 could get Kate than that a Jerusalem cricket could hide in the hair that wasn’t on old Sammy’s bald Lead—no sirree.— But still, I couldn’t Leip goin’; an’ my heart would kinder flutter, an’ my eyes would burn all over, whenever I gut a chance to talk to Kate. And one day when Ka’e sori made fur. of me like, it almost killed me sure I went hosne with aomthin’ like a rock jostlin about my breast, and swore I’d hang myself with the first plow line I’d find. 'Did you hang yourself?* I asked. ’No daddy blazed out at me for not takiu’ old Ball to the pastur in the mornin’ and seared me so bad, 1 forgot it ’

‘Go on,’ said I, seeing Ben pause with apparent regret, that he had not executed his view. ’V. t... t .. .n one 5,.l lay tcornla’ (I rec kon it was about a year after that bangin’ scrape,) I got up and n>y face scraped with daddy’s old razor, and put on my new copp’rus breeches, a newlinsey coat that mammy had dyed with sassafrac bark ait’ ol’uei fixens, and went over to Uncle Sammy’s. Now I’d got to iorin’ t K.Ve like all creation, but I’d never cheeped to anybody about my feelins. But I knotted I was on the right side of the ole folks. 'Weil, now, ain’t it qnar,’ continued Ben, after a slight pause, during which he r riled I is quid to a more convenient place in his mouth, 'how a feller will feel sometimes. Somtkin* seemed to say as I went along, ‘Ben Purtie, this is a great day for you,’ and then my heart jumped and fluttered like a live jay bird in a tray. And when I got thar, an’ seed Kate with her new checked homespun frock on, i really thought 1 should take the blind staggers anyhow.* Ben paused again to brush the fog from liia eyes, and then continued, 'Well, I found the order of the day was to go muscadine hunting. Jo Sharp an’ his two sisters, and Jim Bules war.thar. i’d knowed a long time that Jo Sharp was right after Kate, an’ I hated him wus than a hungry hog hates to find the way out of a later patch, but I didn’t let on. Sharp had on white breeches an’ fine aLoes, a broadcloth coat, but everybody knew he wasn’t wuth a cent. He walked with Kale, and you ought to seen the airs he put on. Il was 3d;ss Katy this, and Miss Katy that, an’ all such quality nottsense. After a while we come to a

! slough, whar w« had to cross on a log — 1 I’d a great notion to prieh the sassy good- ; fornothin’ into the water.’ •Wry didn’t you,’ I asked, sympathising with the narrator. ‘Stop, never mind,’ said Ben, giving ’me a nudge. Providence done that a<l up brown. Nothin’ would do, but Mr. Sharp must lead Miss Kate across first. — He jumped on the log in high glee, an’ took Kate’s hand, an’ off they put. Jis', as they got about halt way across, a tarnation big bullfrog jumped off into t’e water —you know how holier. ‘Snakes screamed the blasted fool, an’jumped back, an’ knocked Kate off up to her waist in the nasty, black, muddy water. Ao' what d'ye think he done? why he ran backerds and forwards a hollerin’ for a pole to help Kate out o’ the water. Kate i looked at roe, an’ I couldn't stand it no —K'rch’mg! I lit t»n fret from uie bank at the first jump, and hid Kite out ‘ thsr in no lime. And d’ye think the scamp . didn’t come up after we’d got out, and say ‘Are you hurt Mirs Katy?’ ‘Mv dander was up. I couldn’t stand ; it. I cotched him by the seat of bis white < breeches an’ his coat co’lar, and gin him a toss. Maybe he didn’t go clear under, when he hit the water. I didn't see him ’. out. Me an' Kate put out to the house. ] When we started off, Kate said, ‘Ben, jist let me hold to your arm, my krtes , feel sorter weak.’ Great jeminy’ I felt so quar when she tuk hold. I tried to , say somethin’ nice but my drolled mouth wouldn't go off no how. But I felt as strong as an elephant, and helped Kite along. Bimeby, Kate said. ‘Ben, that Joe sharp's a goodfornotbin’ sneakin’ cowardly body, an’ es ever be puts his head inside our house agin, I’ll baptize him - V • 1 .

with dish wa\r sure.’ I tried to say somethin agin but cuss the luck, I couldn’t say nothin’ but squeeze Kate’s hand and ’sithe like a cranky builus. We'd got clean out o’ site of the others, and Kate says, ‘Ben, I feel you’re my purtectur, an’ I believe daddy's right when he says you're wuth all the rest o' the boys in the neighborhood,’ Ben Purtle, says I, this is a great day for you and I made a tremendous effort to git my inoath off agin, an’ out it jiopped sure enough. ‘Kate,’ says I, tremblin’ all over, ‘I love you to distraeshun, an' no mistake I'ke Iweii you and hard. My heart’s been almost broke for two years, an’ now I want yon to say right straight up an’ down, whether you're gwiae to have me or not.’ Kate hung down, and didn't say nothin’ but I felt encouraged, for she kind of sithed. Says I, -Kale, es you’re gwine to have me, say so, an’ es you don’t like to say so, jist squeeze my hand.’ An’ she squeezed it right off. Lordy, how I did feel. I felt jist Lko a stream of warm sassafrac tea sweetened with molasses, was runnin’ through my bones. And I jist cotched her in my arms, and kissed her right on the mouth, and she never tried the first time to git-loose.

i Ben was so overcome with his narra- • lion of bis courtship, that a pause for breath was neccessary. ‘How loag after that,’ said I, ‘before yon were married?’ 1 , Ci 1 Sammy was mighty proud, an’ so : was the old woman, about the thing, and we married the next fall after the musca- ( dine scrape. ‘Do you think your wife loves you yet? I asked. , ‘Why, lordy, yes. She thinks I’m the } purliest an the best feller in the world. I tell you sir, it’s no use talkin’; highfalutin airs, an' quality dressin’, an’ rich i things ain’t gwine to take down with sensible gais no how ’ Your Mother wants You. A Young lady onee had a beau. He was anxious to enjoy some private conL• 9 ' ■ ’ versation with his charmer, buttl.«re were ‘ two children in the room. The gentleman looked to see them sent to bed, hut he was disappointed. The voungest ‘ child, a little buy about three years old, slept with the young lady, and had no idea of retiring without his bedfellow.— 1 Stretching his little chubby length upon the carpet, he watched the twain with resolutely wide awake eyes until the bell 1 r ‘tng for nine, when patience becoming exhausted, he raised his head and said to the visitor ‘Nine o'clock is bed-lime; don’t you think your mother wants you now?' The mingling of embarrassment, vexation and mirth produced by this hint, which was as good as a kick, was curious to behold. Sonny was sent to bed alone after that and the young gentleman had a chance ‘to free bis mind.’ Coquette —a human wasp that tries to pass itself off for a bee.

THE GLOBE: i THE OFFICIAL PAPER 0? CONGRESS {PUBLISH now my annual Pro-p-.-ciii* of The Daly Globe, *■> ! The Congressional Globe a-d Appendix. -> remind subscribers, and inform those whouiay de»ire to s-ibscribe. that Congress will meet on the fir-t Monday of next December, when I shall recommence pub li-hing the above named papers. They have ' been published so long that most public men know their character, and therefore I d-em it needless a minute account of the kind of matter they will contain. Tse Daily Globe will contain a report ofihe debate-in both br -chi-s of Congress as taken down by reporters equal, at least, to any corps of- lort-hand writers in thi- or any other country. A majority of them will, each, be able to to report, verbatim, ten tho-i-md words an hour while the average number of words Sjiokeii by fl-ient speakers rarely exceed seven thousand five hundred words an hour, "'hen the debates of a day do no- make more than forty columns they shall appear in the Daily Globe of the next morning, which will contain, also, the new* of th a d*T. together .. -uch editorial an icier as may be suggested by passing events. It is a’«omy in‘ •nlmn, from time. a* occa- in may require, to publish my reminiscence* ofthe public men wi;h who n 1 have been associated during the last twenty eight years. Aiiec-J >te, -of Genera!

This pledge will net beforteited by introducing as a contribution to history the political traits of character which disting ui.-iied lhe public men of my time. Although I am. and intend to remain, a thourough democrat. I will never obtrude my principles in away to make them obt, xio'i* toanv party. But in regard to persons and events which go to make up history. I hope ' to make the G1 -beau honest memoir; ,v. I w th thai view 1 am resolved to speak independently of all parties. ' 1 The Congressional Globe and Appexiux will contain a report of all the debates in Congre**. ••eviscd by th' sp-ak-rs. the messages of the Pre-tder-’ of the t uited States, the annual re--1 ports of the heads of the executive department*, tic pa»*ed during the session. an I copin; , s indexes to all. 1 hey will be printed on adou- ■ ble royal sheet, in b*>k form, royal quarto siz-. a'h --'-iH-r con tain-ng sixteen page*.

The average number of pages is 3 <»" and the average number of words on a , page . - 2,337, consequently, the average number of word*uf a long-es-ioi is 9,23 ,772. A* I hare-old to subscribers that number of words for six dollars, it follows that they have paid jess man six and one-half cents for every 10 word I have furnished them, while I have p*id my reporters $ ■ 29 for every 2 397 words, of ■ this work, in manuscript? Ha* n:z other bookseller, any where, ever sold a box in the first in-tance, while it was new, at so low a rate?

In these times of Bank suspensions and Myantik suspension-, the proprietors of the Sa turdav Evening Post call the attention the reading public to their old and firmly established weekly paper, as the paper that never suspends. For over THIRTY SIX YEARS T) e Post has been published; and in all that period—through “good times’' and through ‘bad times ’ through bank inflations and bank eontractions, through prosperous Reasons and

I through panics, the Post hash en regularly is sued tferv week, and forwarded to its thnusandsof Mibscribers. Its proprietors therefore point to the past as ar. unfailing index of the ■future. And they feel that in asking of the reading public a ’continuance of the patronage heretofore so liberally bestowed upon The Post ■ they are asking no more than what it will be . both the interest and the pleasure of that pub. lie to grant, A rnong the contrib tors to the Post, we may ‘ meut ou >h- following gifted writers; William Howitt Allice Carer, T.

But the Post will still maintain its high character, as a piper which the most scrupulous parent may allow freely to enter THE FAMILY CIRCLE; And which will purify and and instruct, instead ofdemor liz’ng'and corrupt ing the youthful mind.
