Sdttf Slhttllaiti. ABIXOTTLAE HUSBAND. Dr. King, relate* the following cnriou* anecdote : ^ < j II* states i hat, in the early part of i last century ,'ka knew a Mr. Howe, a sensible, well-disposed man, possessed of fi> independent fortune, ' and married to a young lady of good family,' of agree able person and manner*, and who, for the first teven or eight years of their marriage, made Mm an excellent wife, j Wilhont any previous dispute or diff ercnae, he rose one-morning very early j and told hetthat he was obliged to go to the tower i» transact some particnlnr business; and thciwu&dny, about noon, aba received % note from liitn, informing her that he was under tbe uccessity of, going instantly to Holland, and should probably be abeent for three weeks or n month. He remained nbsent, however, longer ' than the specified time, aud for seventeen years andtopwnrd, she netef heard of or from him. About three years after hit disappearance, Mrs. Howe was obliged to apply for impact of Parliament to procure a proper ectilo ment «f hi* "bos^nd's estate, aud a proper provision for herself .and two children out of It, « It wgs : uncertain whether ho was dead or alive. Titis she did. •» »ben he first went away she and her friend* fsarcd ho J might have contracted some large debt |i unknown to ber, the difficulties or which he coold not essily snrroonnt. la -fact, Tor tome timo sper bis departore, she lived in constant dresd of demands from cccjitors, of aeiaares, exe ciitions, Ae. Nothing of thia kind, however, look place ; and on investiga- , tion it was found that ho bad not ou|y fort hts estate free end wwincumbered; but had punclnally paid the bills of eveif tradesman .with whom he hdfl any ( dealing, to the almost exactneii, receipts sod proper vonthera for all bills , being found; arranged in the roost methodical manner in his bureau. Shortly after this the children both ( died, when the supposed widow, in order to lessen ber housekeeping cxpenset, discharged She greater part of her ( servants, left Jermyn strest and took n ( small house in Brewer stt&rt. Goldeu ( Square. This waa abont ten year* after ( ber husUtbd's\ departure ; when, one ( evening, after she had resided in Brewer , street about seven year*, while she waa ( ailllng at sqpper wUh a party 6f friend*, ( among whom were her brother In law, ; Dr. Roae, and her sister hi* wife, a note ( without mf signature waa delivered to ( her, in which the writer requested tbe ( favor of her giving him a meeting the ( n«*t evening. In the Birdcage Walk, In , tbe Park. She read the note with norne f surprise, then lo"cd u 10 I)r- Koee- t stylo* : i -Ytm sea, brother, old as I am, I , have a be"." , The doctor, who perused the note , with more attettU -n. inetaotly declared ( it to be Mr. Howe's Imndwriling. This, ( of conrse, surprised all the company, ( and. Indeed, so much effected Mrs. , Howe Uts l shs fainted away. On her , recovery it was agreed that the whole . party abould accompany her the next j evening to the Park ; and they had not f been there many urinates when tbe loel f husband came to them, and, after eta- ( bracing hi* wife and aalating hi* friends, ( walked borne with tbem, took |>osseision of his house a»d wife, and lived with ber ia great harmony nntU his dtatb. . jt appeared that instead of going to ( tbe tower, as be bad suid, he had ac- . tosffiy on fkrtber than to a little . Street In Weetmhrister, where be took n Ultls roam, for wbkh he paid five or six ! .billings a tt*; to* changing l,i* *a,- MMd diagoimng kimsell by wearing abfook wig. (for be was a fair man) be i hbat Wdgii'g dariag the whole timo ot (

• bit absence. Even when the act of j ' Parliament was applied for, he bad en- • ; .joyed the pleasure of reading the pro ' ; gress ofjtrin tbe papers, at a little coffee i • house near biff lodgings ; and when hi* j wife removed L> Brewer street, he con- ; f j trivad to get acquainted with a corn ; ■ chandler by the name of Salt, who lived i fj directly opposite to lice residence Sail I > ; supposed him to be a batclielor, and be j » came «" fond of his company that Ire j generally asked hint to dinner twice a j ' week, when l|uwe used to watch • bis j I wife's- house with so much curiosity, 1 - , that Salt often recommended b r VApju . as a very aniuble wife. On iS«n-J«ys in1 regularly went to Sail's psw, whence he , ' f could see his wife wlihoot being seen by ' i ber — a practice which he sedulously ad- ' ' bered tiff until the avowal of bis e'xjs- , ' ^ fence and return. ' u Though he cheerfully told all these! t circumstances, no persuasion of his wile or frielfida-eonld' prevail on hjni to assign any reason for his' extraordinary con* . duct; but he owned tbnfrhe find taken j with him. for subsistence, Iretween one ! j and two thousand pounds ih gold and ; bank notes, whkh, after great economy, wae then nil expended. Discovery, of ; i coarse, became necessary for a further supply ; and indeed, some of hit friends ' surmised that if he could have raised the money without discovery, he would 'have remaioed, conceded in his obI scurity. it THE PHILOSOPHY OT DBESS. Inasmuch as "cleauliness is next to godliness," no the fact pf being well dressed is next! to being- Well behaved Tbe same motive that induces one to drcas like a gentleman, generally causes him to conduct like one ; and It is seldom that the porson attired with refi&d taste acts in sqcJi a way as to contradict the possession of such taste and the pleasant social * concomitants. Wo scarcely heed say that to dress well is to be as little of a fop as a sloven ; for the drees that is in good -taste has no showy eccentricity of fantastical whim ahont . it, bo', suggests only that cdrrect approelation of/tire elegant and appropriate 1 which belong. ftp the mind scorning vulgarity. l'eople who are chronically discontented with the world, though ex- i ceedingly unwilling to leave it, have fre 44MI1J llflHNMNt to provw-tbe world's cruel injustice by assisting that the well 'J dressed foci ia received with open arms, { while the shabby man of sense is ; 1 spurned. To upset this plausible prop- ! osition. we have only to assert that a f' well dressed fool is an impossibility ' does not exist. We might as well talk ' abont n brilliant spoken idiot. Your mere fop may he extravagantly and showily attired ; he may wear the daintiest of textures, and moat immaculate Of coats ; but Ills whole outfit is an advertisement that he it a fop — a fool; and ' to tall audi a creature well dressed, h 1 about equivalent to laying that a hand- 1 I some bat upon a distorted cripple is well ' manned. Vanity is the commoii fulling of the wholo world, and vanity may have ' more or lest to do with ' the system of 1 dressing well ; but *''h the person of 1 thorough uataral refinement end well : balanced mind, it is no less a dignified | instinct than a pardonable vanity.— ' Strong as the intellect may be in one direction, it la .certainly just aa weak in ' another, if the possessor voluntarily ' adopts careless babilamenli and slovenly ! eccentricities. The idea that true genius ' is necessarily superior to all cleanly ob- 1 aervancea of dress is a vulgar fallacy ; ' for tbe genuiun greatness of a great 1 mind is displayed no less in it* least than ' in its" greatest occupations. The Divine 1 Maker, who created the univcrim, has 1 rendered the simplest flower no less perfect iu iu dress, beyond any. human power to improve, than Is' the sun beyoad any human power to make brighter. Tbe man of Intellect who dresses like a alovan, only proves, that in theorising a foturg civilization, Ue has fof^otten thc

( | present one The world's judgment f . : may occasionally err in preferring the j j well dressed man Id the carelessly dressed i j one ; but weve that judgment reversed, ' s ! how "many mora nu worthy applicant* j . ! would obtain favor I Tbe beggar in ' , i bit rags may, at least, have tliose clean | and decently disposed, if he chooses ; : I and if he does not choose thus, -the most r obvious inference if, that he is too Iszy . to make the' beat use of what he pos- , i sesses, and is not worthy the charity u-o , | might exieud'lo a cleanlier tncudiraiit. j Depend upon it, there is tu»ch hypo i ! critical folly in tbe common caat against , f care iu dress. - , I " I DON'T UXX XT EC SINE VI. There is no. greater fallacy in '.he t world ilisa tliat entertained by many ; a | you^g men, tlmlyigqe pursuit iu Jilc run ► , i be found wholly suilhl to tjheir tastes, * whims and f&nciesa This philosopher's 1 stone can never -be diseim-rrd ; and '' every one who makes his lifa a search ' for it will brTttiKflfte-rJdueli truth isj^ | contained in the iritbtnan's n-mark — ! " It is never aisy to work hard " Let, ■ thcrtfore, the fact be always remembered n | by the young, that no life work can be i n found eutirely agreeable to a man. SuC- , 1 cess alwoyt lies at the top of a hill ; if 0 we would reach it, we can do so only by u hard, persevering effort, while beset I with difficulties, of 'every kind. Genius counts nothing in the battle of lif« ; 1 1 j determined, obstinate perseverance iu 1 one siugle chouuel. is everything, llcuce should any of-opf young reader., b/ de- , baring in his mind a change of business, ! imagining he btel a genius for some , other, let him at once dismiss the thought , as he would a temptation to do evil. If | you think you made a mistake in elioos i inff-tho pursuit ir profession you did, j ^ don't make another by leaving it. Spend j all your energies in working for, and clinging to it, as you would do the life boat that sustained you in the midst of i the ocean. If you leave it, it is almost certain that you will go down ; but if I you cling to it, informing yourself abont it until yon are lis roaster, bending your every energy to lh£ work, success is certain. Good, hard, honest effort, stoad'ly persevered in, will fiiake your love for ^ your business or profession grow ; since < no one should expect to reach a period ,. - -whew be-eau foal that -hfo-lifo work. i* . r< .'just the one he conld have done best, and !< | would have liked best.

" The pleasure ot Society depends nl- ( most rrttirejy upon women. iieiiUemen expect to I j nutuibed, nnd as that uiuvt t-e dona by women upon ibeus j_ rests the responsibliiiy of making so- ■ ^ ,cie»y whit icnhsulS be. The pressure of ,nn evening's, entertainment is grad- e naled upon the capacity of the hostess 'I to interest her guests in ,«eob other, 'and r her identity should l>c lost In her efforts I » to make every oue at their t-use. At 0 home a lady should never strife to make I1 horsed the centre of attraction, bnt to a make Iter guests j'etl that they havo done ' ^ themielvea justice, aud that they have ( had their due share of ktlcntion. This i will win her more admiration than the I i most brilliant conversation at the ex-js pensc or others, could possibly do. Tbe^ « grest secret of true enjoyment iu Itself 1 is self forgslfalnrss. If yon strive to 0 entertain others rather, than to - be enlertained, yon will gain both ends. Some ladies will enter a drawing room or a social circle, where every person ' and neighbor appenrff like an iceberg, ; 1 and tbe wbote~«rntuipb»ro fw^hfily and j constrained, and by their ggnial nature and well-timed playfalness, throw sun- i shine and waimth all Over the rein Tact— that greatest of social virtues — ; Is only obeying the Golden Rdfe, In Us : e fullest broadett and most rt fin cist litre.
