MODEL WIVES. 



Recently tlic Kubjicts of "Model Wives" 

 and "Model Iluslumd.s" liiive been ventilated 

 in lectures before the "Howard Association," 

 but possibly tliey may not liave been entirely 

 exhausted. The following is in point, and 

 we liojie that some young lady reader 

 t>f The FAit.Mi':i: will in like manner paint the 

 jiortrait of a model husband, and endorse it 

 by ail appeal to the " law and tlie testimony. " 

 If furtlier elucidation should seem necessary, 

 she might illustrati^ it by an appropriate little 

 anecdote, of which there are no doubt an 

 abundance to select from, and wliich cannot 

 possibly do any harm: 



Model wives liki> city docks bIiouUI l)e, 



KxiK't to reifHliirity, 



Yet not like city clocks so loud 



As beard by all the vulji:ar crowd. 



Model wives, like echo, should be true, 



And speak when only spoken to ; 



Yet not, like echo, so aiisurd. 



Forever having the last word. 



Model wives like snails should be akin, 



And their own houses keep within : 



Yet not like snails and their lilthy pack. 



Wearing all their tcoodness on their back. 



Now, to the law and testimony we go, and 

 from the sentence hereof there can be no 

 appeal : 



Genesis, iii ; 16. 



1st Peter, iii ; 1—6. 



Proverbs, xii ; 4. > 



Proverbs, xiii ; 1 — 31. 



Ecclesiastes, vii ; 28. 



1st Timothy, ii ; 9—14. 



Ephesians, v; 22 — 24. 



Titus, ii; 3—5.

Fond of Fishing. 

 "I met, the other day," writes a foreign 

 sportsman, "with an Englishman who travels 

 some hundreds of miles every year to indulge 

 in his favorite sport of trout-fishing. I believe 

 that, provided his favorite stream was undis- 

 turbed, this enthusiastic fishernian would be 

 but little concerned if the whole world was 

 submerged in a second deluge, as may be 

 judged by the following anecdote: One day 

 he was exploring the banks of his favorite 

 sti'eam, accompanied by the landlord of the 

 inn at which he was stopping. The latter 

 happening to come too close just at the moment 

 when his guest was throwing liis lly, the hook 

 caught the poor wretch's eyelid, causing him 

 intense pain. The sportsman coolly took out 

 the hook, readjusted the tly, and, as the iiui- 

 keeper continued howling at the top of his 

 voice, ' You can,' said he, in a whis])er, 'put 

 your eye down in your bill; but I'll trouble 

 you to stop that noise, so as not to frighten 

 mytish.'" 



^ 



A GOOD STonY is told of a little seven year 

 old bfiy, at a juvenile party. He k(>iit aloof 

 from the rest of the company, and the lady of 

 the house called to him, .saying: "Come and 

 play and dance, my dear. Choose one of 

 those pretty little giiis f( r your wife." 



"Xot likely!" cried the youngster, "No 

 wife for me ! Do you think I want to be wor- 

 ried all my life like poor papa V" 



A Tau.or possesses the qualities of nine men com- 

 bined in one, as will be seen by the following observa- 

 tions : 



1. As an economist he cuts his coat according to 

 his cloth. 



2. As a gardener, he is careful of his ca!>bage. 



.S. As a sailor, he sheers off whenever it is projier. 



4. As a play-actor, he often lirandislies a bare b(xi- 

 kin. 



T>. As a lawyer, he attends many suits. 



0. As an executioner, lie provides suspenders or 

 gallowses for numy persons. 



7. As a cook, he isgcnerally furnished with awarm 

 g(X)8e. 



8. As a sheriff's ollicer, he does much at s|)onging. 



9. As a rational and Scriptural divine, his great 

 aim is to form good habits for the benefit of himself 

 and others.
