IIEK WAYS. Bl CHABLIS MACKAY. When there is something tube said, In pleasure or in pain, To brighten joy like sunlight shed. Or dry affections rain; When she'd console, rebuke, control. With ‘yes,’or ‘no,’ as clear— She’s such away of saying it, ’Tis pleasantness to hear. And when there’s something to be done, At need's or duty’s call, A courtesy, a charity, A kindness great or small; Or daily grief, that seeks relief, What'er the action be— She's such a wav of doing it She wins all hearts to see. Sat saying, doing, night or day, 'Tis difficult to tell The sweetest grace, or mind or r ace, That marks her to excel. She seldom b'eathes the love I crave, But robed in light divine, She’s such away of looking As proves her to be mine. The Old man Dreams. Oh fer one hour youthful of joy! Give back my twentieth spring! I’d rather laugh a bright haired boy Than reign a grey beard king! Off with the wrinkled spoils of agel Away with alarming’s crown! Tear out life’s wisdom-written page, And dash its trophies down! One moment let my life-blood stream From boyhood’s fount of flame! Give me one giddy, reeling dream Os life all love and fame! My listening angel heard the prayer, And calmly smiling said. "If I but touch thy silvered hair, Thv hasty wish had sped ”

BROTHER TOM’S WIFE. BY T. 8. ARTHUR. ‘lf you do marry that girl, brother Tom I'll have nothing to do with her. I won’t visit her, nor call her sister, nor speak to her!’ And Lizzie Lawton put on as outraged *nd indignant an air as it was possible for her to assume. ■What’s the objection?’ asked brother Tom; in his cool way, fixing his large, calm eyes upon the pretty face of his sister, as she sat uneasily swaying half around and back again on the piano stool. •Objection!’ The young ladies cherrv lip curled. ‘Who is she? What is she?’ ‘A sweet-tempered, right-thoughted, true-hearted young woman, who will make me a good little wife. Are you answered, sister mine?’ ‘A sewing-girl!’ said Lizzie, contemptuously. •What our mother was, as I have been told, before her marraise,’ answered brother Tom. ‘And if my eyes have not deceived me, she has been a sewing woever since, or at least ever since mv recollection of her.’ 'That’s another thing,' said the sister. •Mother was superior to her class, and has risen above it.’ ■Suppose I answer your objection to Harriet, say that she is superior to her class, and will rise above it? What then’ My father made a good matrimonial venture, and I may do the same.’ ‘But why, brother Tom,’ urged the sister, ‘don’t you choose a wife from among those on your own level?’ •What do you mean by those on our own level? Let us understand each other. ‘From among those who move in our own circles. From the educated, refined and accomplished.’ ‘Such a* the Misses Waltons, for instance?’ ‘Yes; or the Misses Edens.’ ‘Whose h'hers support them in idleness and expect the young men who marry them to do the same. Now, Lizzie, the fact cf the business is, I like Mary Eden very well, and once came so near falling in love with her, that 1 was really frightened. I did not go near her pretty face for six months after I felt the first movement of the tender passion. •D tt ar Mary! 0, Tom! Why not marry her? I could love her as my own sister.’ 'Can’t afford it, petty. I’m but a poor young man, and only my talents an 1 industry to help me forward in the world. Mary can’t do anything herself, and would expect me to put her in an establishment but little less costly than the one her father owns.’ ‘Oh, but, Tom, there’ll be no necessity for going to housekeeping at first. And then, you know, Iter father is well off in the world, and he’ll give her a house, and furnish it, no doubt, when she is married. But Tom shook his bead. •Marry Eden’s father,’lie replied, ‘may or may not be rich. My own private opinion i’, that h« is living tip to, if not a

link- beyond, his income. And as to the house and furniture which Mary’s husband is going to get, that is something very fi -, e to feed a fancy upon. The real bricks and mortar is another affair.’ •Oh, but Mr. Eden is rich, Tom.’ •The rich men ol to-day are our poor men of to-morrow, Lizzie. I wouldn’t give ll e snap of a finger for a rich father in-law as a dependence. I mean to trust in myself, an honest purpose and a clear conscience. And as for a wife, I want a woman with life, purpose, industry aud independence in her, not a great bundle of silks, laces, bonne’s and curls papers, with a pretty little helpless donothing—and I had almost said knownothing— doll hidden somewhere inside, three or four feet from the crinoline circumvallation. And then, again, Lizzie, I am something of an independent young man, wonderfully given to the work of taking care of myself. I happen to be at the bottom of the ladder, and if I ever get to the top of it, my own strength will i carry me there. Now, a wife on my back instead of on the rounds of the ladder, keeping step with me upwards, would be a dead weight, and keep me at or near the foot forever. No, no, petty, I cannot afford one of-your finished boarding-school misses for a wife—ths luxury is too ex-1 pensive for me. So, lam going to marry a girl who knows something of real! life—a true, good, patient, enduring, selfdenying, sweet, darling little body, who ; is not ashamed to earn her living with the needle. And I can tell you what, Dolly. I only wish you were more like . * * Harriet Parker; there would be forty chances in favor of your marrying a man . of sense where you have one now. Don’t I you know that a new society lias been form ed among the young men, and that some of the very best •catches' among them ' have signed a pledge not to marry any . girl who is not willing to commence mat - t rimonial life with two rooms and a kitchen and who doesn’t know how to bake, cook and sew, and to wash iron into bargain? I am the President.’ •Preposterous!’ exclaimed, Lizzie. ‘You’ll cry some other word when you get on the old maids’ list, and see your place filled in the home of some man that is a man by a woman who was not ashamed of useful employment when she was a girl. I can tell you what, my dainty little sister, there’s a reform at work, and men worth having are beginning to choose between no marriage with girls of plainer notions and more useful accomplishments than are possessed by the butterflies who ! lounges on sofas all day, knitting zephyr j or reading novels. So make up your mind to reform or maidism. And now, as in all probability you undestand that I am quite in earnest about marrying Harriet Parker, I hope you will reconsider your hasty resolution about not speaking to your sister-in-law. The loss, let me tell you, will be all on your own side.’! Brother Tom understood his own position entirely. He was not a man to stoop below himselfin marrying. He could i i : _ i

not unite himself with one who was ignorant and unrefined—against that his ! genourously cultivated soul would have revolted. But he wanted a real, not an artificial, »roman—one who could take 1 her place beside him, as he had said, on i the lowest round of fortune’s ladder, and keep step with her upward Such a one ' he bad found to make her his wife. Lizzie was not long in discovering after ! brother Tom actually got married and 'commenced housekeeping in two rooms, with his modest, cheerful, earnest-mind-■ed wife, that new sister had about her something Ilia; insensibly won the love, commanded the respect, and almost extorted the admiration, of all who were so ; fortunate as to make her acquaintance, i ‘Marriage, they say. makes or mars,' the broiher overheard Lizzie once savins in an undertone, to a lady friend. ‘But it wiil not mar the fortunes of brother Tom, He’s got just the wife to keep him along in the world; and one that will grace any position to which they may rise.’ •Mv own sentiments exactly, petty,’ spoke out brother Tom. 'She’s a jewel, and worth a thousand of your paste and tinsel woman. Didn’t I tell you so? But you couldn’t believe me. Now, if you’ll go an apprentice yourself to a dress-mak-er, or a milliner, or learn to do any useful work—useful, not simply ornamental. I mean—l will recommend you to the new piesident of the society I »old you about. I had to resign when I got married. He’s a splendid specimen, and will make a husband worthy of a queen.’ ‘lndustiy must prosper,’ as the man said when holding the baby for his wife to chop wood.

THE GLOBE: THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS. (PUBLISH now my annual Pro-pectus of The Daily Globe, and The Congressionall Globe and Appendix, to remind subscribers, i and inform those who may desire to subscribe, ! that Congress will meet on the first Monday of j next December, when I shall recommence pub ■ lishing the above named papers. They have ! been published so long that most public men know their character, and therefore I deem it needless a minute account of the kind of matter ; they wiil contain. The Daily Gloss will e ntain a report of'he debates Hl both branches of Congress as taken down by reporters equal, at least, to any corps of short hand writers in this or any other country. Atn ijority of them will, each, be able to to-report, verbatim, ten thousand words an hour while the average number of words spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceed seven thousand five hundred words an hour. When the debates of a day do not make more than forty columns they shall appear in the Daily Globe of the next morning, which will contain, also, the news of the day. together with such editorial ari icles as may be suggested by passing events. It is alsomy intention, from time, as occasion may require, to publish my reminiscences of the public men with whom I have been associated during the last twenty eightyears. Anecdotes of General Jackson, and the leaders of t he partv j which he conduced, and the leading men of other parties, will, I believe, be interesting now I when partisan bitterness has abated. In becoming the reporter of the d -batesof Congress 1 deemed it proper to sav that the I Gbtbe would never be a partisan paper. This ! pledge will not be forfeited by introducing as a contribution to history the political traits of character which distinguished the public men of my time. Although I am, and intend to remain , a thonrough democrat, I will never obtrude my principles in away to make them obnoxious to any party. But in regard to persons and events which go to make up history, I hope to make the Globe an honest memoir; and with I that view I am resolved to speak independently of all parties. The Congressional Globe and Appendix will contain a report of all the debates in Congress, .■evised by the sp-akers, the messages of the President of the United States, the annual re-

ports of the heads of the -xecutive departments, the laws passed during the session, and copious indexes to all. They will be printed on adol- I ble royal sheet, in book form, roval quarto siz-. each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will m ike, it is h lieved, 3,3 (I and 3,9j ! J pages, as the longsessions for many years have ranged between those numbers, and the next session will be what is termed a “long one ” — This I believe is the cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a reprint or printed from manuscript copy, taking for data the average umber of w .rdsot the long session since the vear 1813. i'h-’average number of pages is 3.876 and the av-rage number of words na page is 2,397, consequently, the average number of words of a long ses-ion is 9.29 ,772. As I hare sold to subscribers that number of words' for six dollars, it follows that they have paid less than six and one-half cents for every 1J , , ‘ l ' word I have furnish, d them, while [ have p H id mv reporters $ ■ 29 for every 2,397 words, of' this work, in manuscript? Has any other bookseller, anywhere, ever sold a book in the first instance, while it was new, at so low a rate? I believe not; and so strong is my belief that I I hereby agree to give to any person who shall prove th- contrary a complete set of the debates running back to 1833. making forty-thr-e q iart-> volumes, which sellfor $.5 a volume. An :ic: of C ingress authorizes these papers to goby mail free of postage. I'he next session will be, without doubt, an unusual interesting one; as it I will lie the first under a new a Iministration, ami several complex questions must be discussed in it—for ex imple, the currency. Kansas, revenue, ami other questions.

In these times of B ink suspensions and Mercantile suspension , the proprietors of the Sa turdav Evening Post call the attention of the readin” 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 i. period—through “good times’’ and through bad , iimes,’through bank inflations and bank con- . traction-, through prosperous seasons and through panics, the Post h isb en regularly issued every week, and forwarded to its thou-i sands of subscribers. Its proprietors therefore j • point to the past as an unfailing index of the future. And they feel that in asking of the , reading public a continuance of the patronage heretofore so liberal IV bestowed upon The i o.t thev are asking no more than what it will be | both th* interest and the pleasure of that pub. , lie. to grant, Among the contributors tothe Post, we may mention die following gifted writers: William Howitt, Allice Carev, T. S. Author. Grace Greenwood, Anna Blackwell, Augustine Duganne, Mrs. M A. Denison, Emma Allicc Brown*, the author of “An Extra-Judicial Statement.” the author of “Zillah, the Child j Medium,” Ac. NOVELET, BV T. S. ARTHUR. Mr Arthur’s productions are so widely known, that we need hardlv say t at the tone of the present novelet will be consistent with the Mo i ral and instinctive character which we have •!- j ways striven to impress upon the Post. Readers who wish to peruse the flash stories which i abound in the land—pernicious and destruc. tivein’their tendency and effects—can find I them, we r*gr*t sav. at every corner. But the i Post will still maintain its high character, as a piper which the most scrupulous parent may allow freely to enter THE FAMILY CIRCLE; I And which will purify and and instruct, instead of demur lizing and corrupting the youthful mind. Especially will its conductors avoid, in the publication of the weekly news, all those long and disgusting reports —unfortunately now so common —of vile criminal cases; Believing, as thev do, that the practice of pub lishing rhe detailsol such loathsome cases, ind criminal trials resulting therefrom, is a fruitful . causeofthe recent alarming increase of vice and crime in the community.
