THE EDUCATION OF HUSBANDS.

How suggestive is the new year of bills:
and bills Of house keeping. 1t is fearful
to reflect how many persons rush into
matrimony, totally unprcpared for tire
change that awaits them. A man may take
wife at twenty.one, before I've knows the
difference between a chip and a Leghornl

ought to be educated. We should like to
have the following questions put to yourg
and inexperienced Persons about to

Are you aware, Sir, of the price of Goals
and candles!
Do you know which is more economical,
the aitch.bone or the round.
How far, young man, will leg Of NUT
ton 90 in a small family.
How much dearer, now, is silver than
Brlttania!
Please to give the average price of a

Declare, if you can, rash youth, the sum

inals, bonnets, wells, caps, ribbons, flowers
gloves, cuffs, and collars, would probably

If unable TO answer these inquiries. we
would say to him. Go back to school"
He that would he husband should alsu
undergo a training, physical and moral. liz
should be farther examined thus:-
Can you read or write amid the yells Of

Can you wait any given time for break

Can you maintain your serenity during
washing, day!
Can YOU cut your old friends!
Can you stand being contradicted in III,
face of all reasonl
Can you keep your temper when yol
are not listened to-
Can you do what you are told withou
being told why!
In word, young Sir, have you the pa

Ifyou can lay your hand upon your hear
and answer Yes take your license an,

cold, the flowers will have become erect
and fresh-cut off the ends, and put them
into cold water.
