Now iron should be very gradually heated at

not as likely TO crack.
II is good plan to put new earlhen ware into
cold water, and let it heat gradually until it boiIs

boiling, will preserve the glazing, SO that it win

The oftener carpets are shaken the longer they
will wear; the dirt thntcollecs under them grinds
on. the threads.
fyou wish to preserve fine teeth, always clean
them thoroughly after you have eaten your last
meal at night.
Woollens should be washed in very hot suds,
and not rinscd, Luke warm water shrnks them.
Do not wrap knives and forks in woollens.
Wrap them in good strong paper. Steel lnjnres
by lying in woollens.
Suet keeps good all The year roand, if chopped

molasses.
Barley straw is the best for beds dry corn
husks slit into sherds are better than straw
Brass androns should be cleaned, done up in
papers, and pat in dry place during the sum

When molasses is used in cooking, it's pro
digious improvement to boil and skim it before
you use it. 1t takes out the unpleasant raw taste
and makes it almost as sugar.-Where molasses
is used much for cooking, il is well to prepare
one two gallons in this way at time.
Never allow ashes to be taken up in wood, or
put into wood Always have your finder box and
lamp ready for use in case ofsudden alarm. Have
important papers altogether, where you can lay

Use hard soap to wash your clothes, and soft

it wastes a good dsal in washing clothes.

LET ALL THINGS BE DONE IN oRDER.-Order
and regularity constitute the basis OF human i'm
provement. They Of infinite advantage in
the conduct of life The man who habituates
himself to method in all his affairs, will enjoy a
tranquility of mind uninterrupted By those per-

lar and immethodica manner To person ac-
customed to order in the distribution OF his
time the affairs in which he may engaged, sue
coed each other naturally while on the con-
trary, the man who acts without method, is con-
stant!y perplexed by multiplicity of business,
and through not knowing which to do first, he
does nothing properly and his trepidation at
length induces a settled habit OF rresoutlon and
Inconsistency.
And what condition can be more truly con-
tcmptbe than this to be constantly iuttering
in uncertainty, and busy occupied in doing no.

and never adherings to any
The methodcal man is likely to become
slothful--by judiciously portioning out his time,
he escapes these fluctuating resolutions to which
the inconstant man is prey. He is melted to
Improve every moment Of his time to the best
advantage, and TO let not an instant OF his time
pass without acquiring for it some equivalent.
The practice of method also materially assists
the formation Of character and good moral prin.
cipfes II is favorable to the improvement Of
man in health in fortune, and religion. What
wonders have been done-what difficulties have
been overcome, by steadily persevering, with

How important it is, that we should attend to
these considerations. Let uScuIlirate assiduous-

All stood on their stalks, closed or but half open

:. first will let the sun expand them, then will
they show more lovely, and breathe forth richer

She came at noon, and saw her loveiest roses
