A CURE FOR ANGER. There was
once a poor woman who was the most
unhappy creature in the world; she had
a husband that beat her every day till
she was almost sick. She went to see
an old lady, one of her neighbors, who
was thought to know a great DEAL -
some people even called her witch,
because she did every thing she tried to
do. The truth was, tins woman had a
great deal of prudence, and took pains
to learn the character of the people a
mong whom she had lived; she made
them do what she wished. This good
woman heard her ncighbor's complaints; /;
and as she was acquainted with the
husband, she told her she would use her
aid to hclp her. She then sent for a
pitcher of water, put II on the table,
walked three times around It, said a few
words, then she put two grams of falt

SUNDAY. The daily occurrences of a
week of business absorb the mind so
much that were it not for the regular
return of the sabbath, majority of hui
man beings would nearly forget that
any thing else was necessary in this
world but money when it was needed,
provisions when hungry, clothing TO
cover, and uxuries to feed our pampcr-
ed appetites But christianity has con-
suited the wants Of man and the weak
ness of his nature, by the institution OF
one day in seven.
How happy must vlrtuous man feel
to escape from the trammels of bad
world, to one day of sober reflection, or
pious indulgence, or of religious conso-
lation! The mariner, who after week
of storms and gloom, happens to spend
one day on the sunny shore of some
verdant island that rises out of the main,
cannot feel more grateful for his fortune
than he, who having weathered the
misgivings Of the week, sits down in his
own pew, in his own church, and JOINS
in the service and praise of his great
Maker.

NICE PEOPLE. We like to see nice
people, that Is to say, pretty nlce--but
not to a troublesome or Improbable de-
gree. We like to see gentleman with
Il well brushed coat; but we would not
advise HIM to brush it so as TO make it
thread bare" We admire a pair Of well
polished boots; but we should not think
it advisable to polish them to such a de-
gree as to form mirror for all the cats,
dogs and monlilcs TO see their faces In
We think 1t necessary to every man S
comfort and dccency, to have a clean
set of teeth; but we should account it
worse than labor lost to brush them SO
as to take oil the enamel. We like to
sec mans whiokcrs neatly cut-that is
Is to say, cut of; but we should think IA
man poor y employed, who spent all his
time IN trimming his whlSkcrs. We
admire neatly setting shirt collar
not false, but we would not have a man
pcrpetuaIIy pulling up his collar to make
1t set well
We like to see a lady exceedingly
nice; that Is, every thing that concerns
the propucty or comfort OF her house
hold. In fact, 1t seems to us that a
woman can scarcely be too nice in the
matter of cookery, the arrangement of
the table, and general cleanliness of the
house. In personal neatncss she can
not be too exaCt-not that she should
spend her time before the . glass-whlch
indeed is not apt to be the case with a
lady who is habltually neat.
But with all this we would have a
woman avoid all troublesome and ridi-
culous society. For a lady to white
wash the walls of her house, is both
pleasant, healthy and sweet; but to
whltewash the wood she burns, is more
nice than wise. Sand, skillulIy spread
on floor, looks wonderfully nice; but
it is exceedingly inconvenlent in a bed
room; and is, on any floor, neither more
nor less than nice species of dirt 1t
is very praiscworthy to put things in
their right place; but the dispositions,
which some nice housewives possess,
to be always putting things to rights"
is mofstrously veXatIous aud trouble
some, when exercised in the sanctorum
of mans study, by carefully disarrang
ing his papers, and wronglully putting
his literary matters to ghts.
