look for perfection in another, who is conscious that she herself could never attain it!

Of the temper of your mind be particularly watchful. An irascible temper, if once indulged, will make you captious and fretful, will hurry you into unwarrantable extremes, and perhaps terminate in bitter cavillings, reproachful censures, and other things equally subversive to the happiness marriage was intended to produce.

Let me entreat you to be anxious as well for the immortal as the temporal welfare of your husband. The cares of this life are not the only things that demand attention. Ye dwell together here as heirs of the grace of life; and with equal, yea, with much greater solicitude, ye

should watch over each other's souls, should promote each other's spiritual interest, and studiously avoid every thing by which the prayers of either might be hindered.

In this line of duty, and by such a mutual regard to each other's welfare, you will taste a pleasure that cannot be described. But if, on the other hand, those endearments are forgotten, if should you not embrace every opportunity of manifesting your affectionate attachment to his person and his interests, the moment is coming in which you will remember your remissness, in which you will lament your want of duty, but lament too late to requite that love which was always watchful to anticipate desire, always impatient to requite every act

of assiduity and kindness, and which deserved at your hands the tenderest regard.

When a husband is carried to the grave, we at once find excuses for every weakness, and palliations for every fault. We recollect a thousand endearments which before glided off our minds without impression; a thousand favours unrepaid; a thousand duties unperformed; and we wish, vainly wish, for his return; not so much that we may receive as that we may bestow happiness, and recompense that kindness which before we never understood. We consider, with the most afflictive anguish, the pain which we have given, and now cannot alleviate, and the losses which we have caused, and now cannot repair. Let

us therefore make haste to do what we shall certainly, at last, wish we had done; let us return the caresses of our friends, and endeavour, by mutual endearments, to heighten that tenderness which is the balm of life.

"We are disposed to regard 'The Christian Keepsake' as the best specimen of the Annuals we have seen for 1835."-The Record.

"This is a very interesting set of plates, and their execution is unexceptionable. What we particularly like in them is their bona fide character; they are what they profess to be; which is not the case with the majority of the embellishments of the miscellaneous Annuals."-The Spectator.
