Prom the Kentucky Statesman. J John James A n d u b o a . BY PARKE COODWIS. ,( LCDEI'.j I5CIDKS Tl. The incidents it must be supposed, of expeditions of tins sort, are many and striking. Exposed to danger on every side, by floods, by tempests, by fires, by wild beasts, and by the hand of man, his life was a perpetual scene of vicissitudes and adventures. Some of these it may be entertaining to refer to. At one time in the month of November, traveling through the barrens of Kentucky, he remarked a sudden and strange darkness issuing from the western horizon. Ar first he supposed it might u : . r ii I i : uc a tumiii" muiiiiui uiuiiuur auu laiu. ncuauuiuceeded about a mile, when he heard what he imagin- ' ed to hi the distant n.mhlin of a violent tornado. He had pro He spurred his horse, with the view of galloping to a place of shelter, but the animal, apparently more sagacious than the rider, nearly stopped, or rather moved forward slowly, placing one loot before the other, with as much precaution as if walking on a smooth sheet of ice. He dismounted to ascertain what was the matter, when the steed fell to groaning piteously, hung his head, spread out his fore legs, as if to save himself from falling and stood stock still. At that instant, all the shrubs and trees began to move from their very roots, and the ground rose and fell in successive furrows, like the ruffled waters on the sea. It was an earthquake. "Who can tell of the sensations 1 experienced," writes our .iaturalist, "when rocking on my horse, and with him moved to and fro like a child in a cradle, with the most imminent danger around, and expecting the ground every moment to open, and present to my eyes such an abyss as might engulf myself and all mound me? The fearful convulsion, however, lasted only a few minutes, and the heavens again brightened as quickly as they had become obscured ; my horse brought his feet to their natural position, raised his head, and galloped off as if loose and frolicking without a rider." Nor to the fury of the elements alone was our intrepid man of science exposed. Once and, singular to say, only once, in wandering for twenty years was he threatened with death by the hand of man. This was, when returning from the upper Mississippi he was forced to cross one of the wide prairies of that region. Wc must let him relate it. Toward the dusk of the evening , wearied with an interminable jaunt over the prairu, he approached a light that feebly shone from the window of a log hut. He reached the spot, and presenting himself at the door asked a tall figure of a woman whether he might take shelter under her roof. Her voice was gruff, and her dress carelessly thrown about her person. She answered his question in the affirmative, when he walked in, took a wooden stool, and quietly seated himself by the fire. A finely formed young Indian, his head resting between his hands, with his elbows on hij knees, was seated in the centre of the cabin. A long bow stood against the wall, while a quantity of arrows and two or three black raccoon skins lay at his feet. He moved not, he apparently breathed not. Being addressed in French, he raised his bead, pointed to one of his eyes with his finger and gave a significant glance with the other. His face was covered with blood. It appeared, that an hour before, in the act of discharging an arrow at a raccoon, the arrow split upon the cord, and sprang back with such violence into his right eye, as to destroy it forever. "F3eling hungry," Mr. Audubon continues his narrative, "I inquired what sort of fare 1 might expect. Such a thing as a bed was not to be seen, but many untanned bear and buffalo hides lay piled in a corner. I drew a fine time-piece from my vest, and told the woman it was late, and that I was fatigued. She had espied my watch, the richness of which seemed to operate upon her feelings witli electric quickness. She told me that-there was plenty of venison and jerked buffalo meat, and that on removing the ashes I should find a cake. But my watch had struck her fancy, and her curiosity had to-be gratified with a sight of it. I took off the gold chain that secured it from around my neck, and presented it to her. She spoke of its beauty, asked me its value, put the chain around her brawny neck, saying how happy the possession of such a chain would make her. Thoughtless, and, as I fancied myself in so retired a spot, secure, I paid but little attention to her talk or her movements. I helped my dogr to a jfootl supper ol venison, and was not long in satisfying the demands ' 7 o - . . of my own appetite. The Indian rose from his seat as if in extreme suffering. He passed and re-passed me several times, and once pinced me on the side so violently, that the pain nearly brought forth an exclamation of anger. I looked at him. Hiseyesmet mine; but his look was so forbidding that it struck a chill into the more nervous part of my svstem. He again seated himself, drew a butcher's knife from its grfasy scabbard, examined its edgre, as I would do that of a razor I suspected tobe dull, replaced it, and again taking his tomahawk from his back, filled the pipe of it with tobacco, and sent me expressive glances whenever our hostess chanced to have her back towards us. Never till that moment had my senses been awakened to the danger which I now suspected to be about me. I returned glance for glance with my companion, and retired, well assured that whatever enemies I might have, he was not of the number." In the meantime, he retired to rest upon the skins, when two atheletic youths, the sons of the woman, made their entrance. She whispered with them a little while, when they fell to eating and drinking, to a state bordering on intoxication. "Judge of my astonishment," he says, "when I saw this incarnate fiend take a largo carving-knife, and goto the grindstone to whet its edge! I saw her pour the water on the turning machine, and watched her working away with the dangerous instrument, until the sweat covered every part of my body, in spite of my determination to defend myself to the last. Her task finished, she walked to her reeling sons, and said : 'There that'll soon settle him! Boys kill yon , and then for the watch!' I turned, cocked my gunlocks silently, and lay ready to start up and shoot the first whe might attempt my life. Fortunatly, two strangers entering at the moment, the purpose of the woman was disclosed, and she and her drunken sons secured. A GREAT DISASTER. But no eathquakes, nor hurricanes, nor the carvingknife, of the wild denizens of the desert, could afflict him hall so much as he suffered in consequence of an attack of a wild and ferocious animal neither more I 1 al . JM nor less than a rat. It was a calamity, the like of which is seldom recorded in literary history. Edward Livingston, it is said, having finished his great code of Louisiania law, beheld the labor of three persevering years perish in an instant in the flames; Thomas Carlylc, when he had finished the first volume of his French Revolution, had every scrap of it burned i through the carele sness of a friend; and so Mr. Aud ubon, having wandered and toiled for years to get ac curate representations of American birds, found that two Norway rats had, in a night destroyed two hundred of his original drawings, containing the forms of more than a thousand inhabitants of the air. All were gone, except a few bits of knawed paper, upon which the marauding rascals had reared a family of their young. "The burning heat," says the noble-hearted sufferer, "which instantly rushed through my brain, was too great to be endured without affecting the whole of my nervous system. I slept not for several nights, and the days past like the days of oblivion, until the animal powers being recalled into action, through the strength of my constitution, I took up my gun, note-book, and pencil, and went forward to the wools asgayly as if nothing had happened." He went forth, and in less than three years had his portfolio again filled. VISITS ESGLASD. It was in 1324, we remarked, that Lucien Bonaparte suggested to him the idea of collecting and making public the treasures which had been amass

eu in his wild jurneyings. ror some time, in the , on soieiy oy his pure, lotly, kindling enthusiasm, no depths of the solitudes, his mind brooded over the : thirst for w je!'h, no desire of distinction, no restless kindling thought, fle resolves upon a visit to Eu- amotion of eccentric character, could have induced rope, and with that instant action which has been him to undergo so many sacrifices, or sustained him the secret of his success, he prepared for his departure, under so many trials.

Atlantic . Traversing the streets of Liverpool for two whole days, he had looked in vain for a single glance of sympathy. But how soon did the aspect of things around him change. There are kind and generous hearts everywhere; men of noble faculties to discern the beautiful and true, and women of warm affections. In a little while he was the admired of all admirers. Men of genius, the Wiltobs, the Roscoes, the Swain sons, suddenly recognized his lofty claims; learned societies, without number, extended to him the warm and willing hand of fellowship; the bouses of the nobility were opened to him ; and wherever he vent, the solitary, unfriended American woodsman was the conspicuous object of a wide remark and love. Under such auspices, in 1831, at Edinburgh, he put forth his first volume of Ornithological Biography. Its striking and original merit procured him subscribers to the remaining volumes, from all parts of the kingdom. At once he took rank as the most worthv ornithologist of the aire able as an

- o - , - , observer and descnber to wear the mantle of the ST'd Wilson, and as a painter of animals, to take . j o - his place bv the side of the equally eifted Barraband From England, Mr. Audubon proceeded to France, where he recceived the homage of the most distinguishedmen of science of that learned nation ; among the rest of that gigantic but graceful genius Cuvier, the glance of whose eye into the great valley of death, nr. infused life into the dry Dones of a thousand years. And that other distinguished man who for eighty years now has illustrated Germany and the world by his vast and incredible labor in almost every department of natural science, achieving a fame as brilliant as was ever won by intellect Alexander Von Humboldt became his enthusiastic admirer, and sincere correspondent and friend. EXPEDITIONS. When he returned to his native land, it was only to I renew with more burning ardor his labors in the , woods. His first expedition was to the coast of Florida, ! where amid flocks of snowy pelicans and cormorants, I tortoise and flying-fish, he laid up vast treasures of j knowledge fct hi3 forthcoming volumes. Having examined every part of the coast, and of the differrent j keys, passing even to the Tortugas Islands, he re- ; turned to Charleston, S. C, anxious to bend his : course to the northeast, that he might keep pace with i the birds during their migration. Sickness detained him for the greater part of the summer at Boston, but I having recovered about the middle of August, he left i his Boston friends on his way eastwards, he explored j the whole of the State of Maine, the British province j of New Brunswick, a portion of the Canadas, and then, when there were no more prizes in those disj tricts to carry away turned his footsteps to the dreary ! shores of icebound Labrador. His researches into the habits of birds, beasts, and men of this hyper- , borean region were successful, and he returned, rich : with materials, to the abode of his family and friends. I Of the industry with which he pushed his inquiries, j and of the startling and touching adventures to which I his various excursions gave rise, his volumes are full of entertaining and instructive proof. Our plan does not allow us, as we should wish, to introduce them. Let us add, however, that this Ornithological Biography has expanded into five large books; that his " Birds of America " are finished in glorious style, and his magnificent " Illustrations," being those birds drawn to the size of life, have for some time been the astonishment and delight of the cultivated world. (Jne hundred and seventy-five subscribers to his great work, at one thousand dollars (eighty of these we are glad to say were his countrymen) remunerated him for the expense he had incurred in its publication. In the year 1842, Mr. Audubon began a collection of the quadrupeds of America, similar to his magnificent work on the birds, lie had already, at the time, materials enough to make five large volumes, and it was the impression of those who saw his original drawings, that the work, when completed, would make a still grander monument to his memory than any that he had yet executed. The animals, if we remember rightly, were drawn of the size of life, with all the accuracy of outline, that grace and vigor of action, and fidelity of form and color which characterized his pencil. To see one of his plates, was to see the anima'. itself, as he appeared in his native haunts, without so much as a spot or hair omitted. Mr. Audubo was an old man at this time, (sixtysix, nearly,) yet he completed his prospective journey to the Rocky Mountains with as much apparent ardor and delight, as a schoolbov looks forward to the, rambles of a vacation. It was a journey that fa . . .... i ........ i ,i i . , : i r ...... i volved thousand upon thousand of miles of 1 ravel. through an unbroken wilderness, but we remember than when we hinted to him a word or two about the probable hardships of such an undertaking, he replied in his broken English, with a peculiar smile upon his face, and his eyes flashing with sudden fire. "Hardships? why it's sport, man sport; it is they who are perpetually stewed within these brick walls, without freedom, health, cr happiness, who have the hardships of life." But we believe that some unfor seen circumstance prevented Mr. Audubon trom ful filling his intention, at any rate, to the extent which was originally in his mind. HIS WRITINGS AX D CHARACTER. A peculiar case, v'gor, and animation, mark Mr, Audubon's written sr le. His descriptions of birds in their various moods are not the dull and dry detail of a naturalist, but the warm, lively, picturesque paintings of the poet. To open at any page of his volumes is to step at once into a region of agreeable forms and ?nrapturing sounds. He seems to enter into the very spirits of birds themselves, sing when they sing, and rises upon the wing when they fly. And his whole life, like theirs seems to have been a perpetual and cheerful ascription of praise to that "Power whose care Teaches their way aloag the pathless coast. The desert and illimitable air Lone wandering, but not lost." In person Mr. Audubon was tall, with a fine elastic ' form, and most striking appearance. His face, with its aquiline nose and keen eyes, sometimes reminded one of the beak of an eagle. His action was quick, j and his conversation lively and spirited. Owing to I his French extraction he spoke with an accent, in a : soft and gentle voice, but with great earnestness of conviction. He was noted for the simple-heartedness and kindness of his disposition; his habits were tem perate and frugal, and bis attachments to the different members of his family profound. For several years past, Mr. Audubon had lived at a beautiful estate, called Minniesland, on the banks of the Hudson, some eight or ten miles from the city, where the beauty of the scenery, and the kind hos3 . a . piiaiuv ol its distinguished occupants, made it an agreeable resort for all who had the honor of their acquaintance. His health, however, for the last two years had been failing. His long and arduous labors began to wear upon his constitution, and on the 27th of January he died. His funeral war. as unostentatious as his life had been. He was buried in the family vault of Trinity Church Cemetery, adjoining his own estate. His widow, two sons, and tumerous grandchildren are left to mourn his loss. CONCLUSION. What a life has that been of which we have here given a faint outline! What a character is that of which we have only made a rough sketch ! Is not John Jamet- Audubon, as we said in the outset, an admirable specimen of the Hero as a man of science? For sixty years or more he has followed, with more than religious devotion, a beautiful and elevated pursuit, enlarging its boundaries by his discoveries, and illustrating its object by his art. In all climates and in all weathers, scorched by burning suns, drenched by piercing rains, frozen by the fiercest colds ; now diving fearlessly into the densest forest, now wandering alone over the most savage regions; in perils, in dfficulties, and in doubts; with no companion to cheer his way, far from the smiles and applause of society ; listening only to the sweet music of bird, or to the sweeter music of his own thoughts, he has faithfully kept his path. The records of man's life contain few nobler examples of strength of purpose and indifatigable energy. Led . , . ., . . T " and uesful science; he has revealed to us the existence of many species of birds before unknown: he 'ia given us more accurate information of the forms and hahiU ot those that were known; be has correcfed Ihe blunders of bis predecessors ; and imparted to

to the st-idy of natural history the grace and fascination of romance. By his pencil and by his pen, he has made the world eternally his debtor. Exquisite delineations of the visible and vocal ornament of the air, drawn with so much nicety, colored with so much brilliancy, as they are seen in their own favorite huants who can adequately describe? We remember well the effect wrought on our mind, when we first saw the whole of his wondeful collection of paintings, as they were exhibited a few years since in New York, it produced an ovepowering sense of wonder and admiration. As John Wilson has said of the same scene, shown at Edinburgh, the spectator instantly imagined himself in the forest. The birds were all there "all were of the size of life, from the wren and humming bird to the wild turkey and bird of Washington. But what signifies the mere size? The colors were all of life, too, bright as when borne in beaming beauty through the woods. There, too, were their attitudes and postures, infinite as they are assumed by the restless creatures, in motion or rest, in iheir glee and their gambols, their loves and their wars, singing, or caressing, or brooding, or preying, or tearing one another to pieces. The trees on which they sat or sported are all true to nature, in bole, branch, spray, and leaf, the flowery shrubs and the ground flowers, the weeds and the very grass, all American as were the atmosphere and skies. It was a wild an poetical vision of the heart of the New World, inhabited as yet almost wholly by the lovely or noble oreatures that "own not man's dominion." It was indeed a rich and magnificent sight, such as we would not for a diadem have lost."

How they get Elephants. Barnum, as the newspaper world knows, is about to establish a kind of perapatic or locomotive museum, including a menagerie of wild animals, and an immense rolle jtion of wax figures. But what would a menagerie be without a half a dozen elephants, considering what most people go to see, in a caravan, is the elephant? He, therefore, sent Mr. S. B. June, of Westchester county, in New York, to Asia, in order to look up a good assortment of these desirable animals. The following letter gives the result of the enterprise : Colcmbo, Ceylon, Dec. 30, 1S50. The annoyances and delays which I have encountered in carrying out the project, have been numerous and formidable, but I believe now all is in a successful train of operation. On arriving at Port de Galle, I left Captain Pratt and hurried to Columbo, when I advertised for elephants in the papers published in that town, but the result did not give me a very favorable idea of "the benefits of advertising," at least in this benighted country. Government, private, individuals, and every one who had elephants for sale, immediately increased their demands to such an ex travagant pitch that I determined lo have nothing to do with any of them, but to start for the interior and hunt for them in their wild state, feeling that any difficulties that I should meet could not be greater than those I encountered in my Giraffe expedition. With George Nutter, I immediately started for Kandy, where we engaged a party of natives to assist us, and took up our line of march for that part of the Island where the animals are found in the greatest numbers. An incessant rain accompanied us, and did not add to the agreeability of our situation. The details of our journey would not be very interesting to you. We at length found traces of a drove, and at once set about constructing ditches and fences for a pen, which being finished and baited, we turned our dusky fellow laborers loose, and they, with the infernal din they managed to produce by the aid of strong lungs and a variety of noisy instruments, in a few hours frightened the whole herd into the enclosure. The most of the animals were secured to trees without difficulty, but one fine Bull, much larger than either Columbus or Bohvar, gave us an infinite amount of trouble. Indeed, if it had not been for the presence of mind displayed by George Nutter, several of the natives would have been killed in their endeavors to lash him. He had them completely in his power, when two or three rifle balls from the opposite quarter served to distract his attention for a moment, during which time he was newly and more securely lashed, so as to be incapable of doing further mischief. It was several days, however, before he wag sufficiently subdued to be loosed with safety. The result of this expedition was fifteen as fine elephants as I wish to see. Dividing our forces, I sent Nutter further north in search of a few more of the same sort, and I, with the natives that remained with me, set out for Columbo and Pt. Galle, taking our prizes with us. The second day of our journey the big fellow died from the effect of his wounds. This I regretted deeply, as he was much the largest elephant I had ever seen. The night before reaching Kandy three or four of my mahouts left suddenly, taking with them another of my elephants, but with the remainder I safely reached Port Galle, and the whole thirteen are now safely on board the bark. Handsomely sold. The Parisian correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, relates the following: A couple of weeks ago the following announcement appeared in one of the morning papers : "A gentleman of ripe age, occupying an honorable position, desiring to unite himself to a young lady or widow, of from twenty-five to thirty-five years of age, wishes that his future wife may bring him a small dowery. Address H. T. by writing, &c." An avalanche of unpaid letters immediately fell upon the gallant. From ladies of 50 years of age, who gave themselves forty, to young girls of sixteen, all seemed to solicit the alliance of the gentleman of a ripe age. But the latter paid no attention to all these letters, which seemed to him to evince some snare. At last came a letter, small and perfumed, and written in the most beautiful manner. The writer was a young girl of 22 years of age, who declared herself possessed of 4,000 francs, and to have in perspective the succession of a grand mother in feeble health, ind very rich. This suited our ripe man precisely. A correspondence ensued immediately. Numerous letters were exchanged, which gradually became more confidential and more tender, until the gentleman of a ripe age finished by falling desperately in love with his correspondent. He ardently solicited a rendezvous. The young lady replied that she would not grant it, unless Mr. H. T. would give her his real name. The request was agreed to and soon the post brought a letter to the lover, assigning the angle of one of the Elysee walls as the place of rendezvous. The time indicated was eight o'clock in the evening and the watch word, "live socialism," which the gentleman of ripe age was to utter first. On the part of a young girl, this species of signal seemed rattier odd, but the lover thought the lady was probably a young and sincere republican, and at the hour indicated, repaired to the appointed spot. He promenaded for a long time along the walls of the Elysee and every time he saw a woman coming he exclaimed "live socialism." Soon the appearance and prolonged walk of our hero attracted the attention of the police, who were stationed near the presidential palace. They interrogated a few ladies who had been addressed by Mr. H. T. and hearing the seditious cry he had uttered, they went up to him and arrested him for a crazy man. The ripe man, surprised, tried to make some observations, but he was hot lisiened to, but taken to the police station. At the moment he was being carried off, Mr. H. T. heard a shout of laughter from a group of young men, who had come out from the other side of the wall, and who cried out at the time, "a gentleman of a ripe age who wishes to marry, &c" He then understood that he had been mystified and tricked. Before the commissary of the police he had all the trouble in the world to prove that he was not a malefactor, and was finally obliged to tell his story, and show his correspondence, to get himself out of the serine. The best of his story was, that Mr. H. T. was no other than an honorable representative of the people; taking his seat daily in the assembly, and besides a warm legitimist. 07" A certain zealous old lady was once arguing very strongly for woman's right to preach, when some one attempted to put her down, with a text from St. Paul. "Ah," she said, "there is where Paul and I differ." Aw aft Reply. Husband, I don't knew where that boy gets his bad temper not from me I'm sure."

For the Indiana State Ssnti el. Mary Queen of Scots. I looked far back into other jen, and lo! in bright array, I aaw a in a dream the forms of aces pact away It was in a stately convent with its old and lofty walls. And gardens with their broad green walks, where soft the foot

But as they passed they led behind a long continuing light. The scene was changed it was the court the gay court of Bourbon, And 'neath a thousand silver lamps a thousand courtiers throng And proudly kindles Henry's eye, well pleased, I ween, to see '' he land assemble all its wealth its grace and chivalry Grey Montmorence o'er whose head bad passed the storm of years, Strong in himself and kindred, stands the first among his peers.

No marvel that the lady wept it was the land of friends It was the land, where she had found for all ber grief amends The land where her dead husband slept the land whera she had known The trauquil convent's hushed repose, and the splendors of a throne No marvel that the lady wept it was the land of France, The chosen home of chivalry the garden of Koraance.

The acene was changed! it waa an eve of raw and surly mood And there within a turret high of ancient Holyrood Sat Mary, listening to the rain, and sighing with the winds That seemed to suit the stormy state of men's unruly minds. The touch of care had blanched her cheek, her smile was sadder now The weight of royalty had pressed too heavy on her brow; And traitors to her council came, and rebels to the field, The Stuart sceptre, well she swayed, but the sword she could not wield. She thought of all ber brilliant hopes the dreams of youth's brigt. day And summoned Riizio with his lute, and bade the minstrel play The songs she loved in early years the songs of gay Navarre The songs perchance, that erst were sung by gallant Cbatelar They half beguiled her of her tears, they soothed her into smiles And won her thoughts from bigot teal and fierce domestic broils Rut hark! the tramp of armed men!tlie Douglas battle cry They come, they come! and ere the scowl of Kuthren's hollow eye! And swords are drawn, and daggers gleam, and tears and words are vaiu The ruffian steel is in his heart the faithful Rizzio'e slain; Then Mary Stuart brushed aside the tears that blinding fell, "Now, for my father's arm," she cried "my woman's heart fare well!" The scene was changed! it was a lake, with one small lonely isle, And there withiu the prison walls of its baronial pile, Stern men stood menacing their queen, till she should stoop to siea The traitorous scroll, that snatched the crown from her ancestral line. "My lords, my lords" the captive aried, "were I but once more free On yonder shore, with ten good Knights to aid my cause and me This parchment would I scatter wide to every breeie that blows. And once more reign a Stuart -queen o'er my remorseless foes!" A red spot buiaed upon her cheek, streamed her rich tresses down She wrote the words she stood erect a queen without a ;rown! The scene was changed! a royal host a royal banner b"re. And the faithful of the land stood round the smiling queen once more She stayed her steed upon a hill she saw them rushing by She heard their shouts, and read success in every flashing eye; The tumult of the strife begins, it waves.it dies away And Mary's troops and banners now where oh! where are they?

The scene was changed! beside the block a sullen headsman stood. And gleamed the broad-axe in his hand, that soon must drip with blood And from the prison's folding doors a lady forth is led! Oh! heaven! must one so beautiful be numbered with the dead? In vain, alas! the pitying heart in vain the tearful eye She for wnose smiles men erst have bled, now by their frowns must die!

O'er yon tall rock the solemn trees, A shadowy group incline Like gentle nuns in sorrow bowed Arouad their holy shrine; And o'er them now the night winds blow So calm and still, the music low Seems the mysterious voice of prayer Soft echoed on the evening air. The mist, like incense from the earth Rises to a God beloved. And o'er the waters move as erst The Holy Spirit moved; The torent's voice, the wave's low hymn Seems the far notes of seraphim, And earth's thousand voices raise Their song of worship, love and praise.

The Good Wife She commandeth her husband in any equal matter by constantly obeying him. It was always observed that what the English gained of the French in battle by valor, the French regained of the English by cunning in treaties. So, if the husband should chance by his power, in his passion, to prejudice his wife's

right, she wisely knoweth by compounding and complying, to rectify it again. She never crosseth her husband in the spring-tide of his anger, but stays till it be ebbing water. And then mildly she argues the matter, not so much to condemn him as to acquit herself. She keeps home if she have not her husband's company or leave for her patent to go abroad. For the house is the woman's centre. Her clothes are rather comely than costly, and she makes plain clothes to be velvet by her handsome wearing it. She is none of our dainty dames, who love to appear in variety of suits every day new, as if a good gown like a stratagem in war, were to be used mit once. Her husband's secrets she will not divulge. Espe cially she is careful to conceal his infirmities. If he be none the wisest, she so orders it that he appears on the public stage but seldom, and then he hath conned his part so well that he comes off with great applause. In her husband's sickness she feels more grief than she shows. Partly that she mav not dishearten him; and partly because she is not at leisure to seem so sorrowful, that she may be the more serviceable. The heaviest work of her servants she maketh light by orderly and seasonable enjoying it. Wherefore her service is accounted a preferment, and her teaching better than her wages. 03" Why are fowls the most economical things farmers keep ?
