 One of the agreeable consequences which she will find to result from good temper, is the influence it gives her within the domes- tic sphere. Itis virtuous influence, hon- | orable to herself, and beneficial as far as it ] extends and very different from that love of ofpower, which, the sarcastic say is inher- ent in women. Good temper in a wife is indispensable to conjugal happiness. A man may possess every advantage which the world has to give,and may have talents that render him valuable member of society 1; yet, if his wife be contentious, fretful, or discontented, his sum of happiness is most incomplete.

 Every man, whether employed in the duties of public, or of professional life meets with numerous circumstances and disap- pointments which harass and distress him. For the painful effects of these, happy home provides an instantaneous antidote. Every thing beyond its walls seems for a time forgotten, while the mind is relieved, and its powers renovated for future exer- tions in the world, by the healthy air of cheerfulness which he breathes in the do- mestic circle. How different when home is scene of ill humor and discord! Into such a home noso oae can retire from the harassing business of life, with any hope of comfort and relaxation, but must seek else- where to 'dissipate the weight upon his spirits though no where can he find relief so effectual, as that, under happier auspices his home might have afforded him. The desires which he might once have enter tanned to cultivate domestic tastes and to seek for happiness in domestic enjoyments, arc turned from their course, and directed into channels which can give him no per. manent satisfaction, but in which by too ea- ger pursuit, he may be brought into sit uations destructive to his peace ofmind. | The world corrup,s; home should refine: the one, even in tho sober transactions of life, presents. examples of craftinoss, self interestedncss, and freedom; in moral prin- ciple while tn it's more alluring scenes of pleasure, it only nourishes folly and vanity. By tue contemplation ofthese, even with- out participating in them, the mind is inju- red: it contracts a rust which nothing can better remove than home, when it is prop erly organized. When that presents an op- posite picture of virtue, ,innocence,d ,d peace, none but depraved mind can withstand it's influence, which tends to purify the heart, and to restore to the mind it's moral tnstre. How important then is it, that the wife should obtain that influence over her hus- bands mind which will prompt him to turn frequently from the world to her so- cic,y, for happiness and rofnement. ,,trg a ;" sg g '|.a..

When the hissing urn throws up 2 steamy col umn" fragrant with liyson powerful with imperial, strong with gnnpowder, or black with bohea, it may be considered as a warning of the consequences to be consid- ed from the wonder working beverage within. But when the cups have received it,when tho sugnr & tho cream have soften- cd it; in fine, whom rosy lips begin to inl- bibe the delicious draught, then look for consequences. Father of Whanghi how does cup of tea Gnloose, invigorate, nay, almost create, the faculty of speech Be- hold spiritless silent company, sitting in a semicirclo, staring at one another, having thrice exhausted that almost inexhaust. ible topic, the weather, and despairing in what manner to inerodnceit it tho fourth time -in this sad, this most uncomfortable di- lemma, the, sight of tho tea-tray is better than plank to u drowning man, or the voice of pardon to condemned criminal. Glance your eye over tho company, see how other eyes begin to sparkle; the sol- chm gloom disperses like mists before the morning sun. But no sooner have pretty noses begun to inhalc the fragrance, no sooner have pretty lips begun to sip tho delicious, ,ongue-inspiring beverage, than silence is thrust aside, tho weather is banislled from ''good society,"" and tongues las Virgil says about elm trees that bear apples) begin to be astonished at fruits not their own.-Berkshne Am.
