After Carlyle's marriage, his friend Jeffrey wrote to him: "Take care of the fair, creature! who has trusted herself so entirely to you. Be gay and playful and foolish with her, at least an often as you desire her to be wise and heroic with you. You have no mission upon earth whatever you may fancy, half so important as to be innocently happy." This advies should be taken to heart by some people who are earaest? and well-mearing, but hard. If they had more human nature, and humour and play in than, their marriage would be happier, and their children would turn out better. A man came into a room of a house belonging to people who had been married eight years. The wife looked out from under the table and said: "Don't tell where I am, as George and I are playing hide-

A girl should be sure that a man means something, and that he has a good character before allowing him to pay her attention; but if she discover that his love has grown cold, or that he has formed some habit which would unit him for domestic life, it is much better for her to risk being called a jilt than to bring upon herself and perhaps unborn generations intense misery.
