a ScoLDGNG WIFE CURED.--A circumstance
occurred few weeks since which showed the be-
nohts of tho Maternal Meeting. woman Iiy-
ing at an adjoining village, who, 1t seems, diff
terng with her Gear good man in manifold
matters,' "oft qunrrelsome topics mentioned'
These hours OF soft contentious waxng warmer
and warmer" the tender swain sought peace in
others converse, while the iove-lorn wife was
doomed 10 muse and talk alone. Being much
perpleXed, she came for counsel to the Christian
chief S wife of tho village. Tho good old mo-
ther instructed her according 10 the best of her
ability; and, among other things, told her she did
not DO good to scold her husband; that if kind
ness would not make him love her. scolding would
not. Moreover" said she, " the true God does
not say, Husband, obey your wives but Wives
obey your husbands Do you your duty" she
said, land then, if your husband does not love
you IN return, II will be his sin and not yours''
few days since, when of the assistants Wis
tied that village, he found the woman living very
happily with her husband. The whole village had
observed the change, and it was reported all
around the vicinity, that the Christians God did
not allow women 10 scold their husbands Mrs.

Ok THE HlsroRY OF PRINrING.--The first at
templs at printing with types be traced TO en-
cravings on blocks Of wood, the honor of tho in
vention being claimed by citizens of three differ
ent cliies-llarem, in Holland. und Strasburc
and Menlz, in Germany. Laurenlius Costor,
John Guttemburg, and John Faust, each claiming
TO be The inventors of the art. But the most ro-
liable information appears TO sdo with Guttem-
burg, who, as carly as l4i2, printed two small
books in the city of Mentz. IL is remarkable that
the first book printed, of any note, tho Bible.
1t was printed in Latin, in 1850. Notwithsta nd
ing The improvements which had been made, tho
art cannot DO considered very porma ncnty
settled, until the year 1855, when method Of
casting types in u mould was discovered. Tho
art was first introduced into England in I17I, by
William Caxton, and ia 1900 it was known in be-
tween two and three hundred places. The first
printing Office in this country was, at Cambridge,
in Massachusetts, in I639-more than two hun
dred years ago.
The first printed newspaper appeared in tho
city of Vienna, in Germany although but few
were printed until 1912, when they first appeared
with dates to thcm. The first paper in England
was printed during tho reign Of Elizabeth, III
1888.
The first paper in this country was printed at
Boston, in l7O4. Now, there is not in all Eu-

CURIOUS HISTORICAL tACT.-DurIng the trou-
bles in the reign of Charles l.. country girl
came TO London in search Of place as a servant
maid, but not succeeding, she hired herself to car
ry out beer from a brewhouse, and was one of
those called tubwomen. The brewer Observing
good looking girl in this low occupation, took
her inIo his family as servant, and after short
time married her. lie died while she was yet
young woman, and left her the bulk Of his ior-
tune. The business Of brewing was dropped. and
Mr. Hyde was recommended TO the young woman
as skilfu lawyer, to arrange her husband az
fairs. Hyde, who afterwa rds Earl of CIa-
rendon, finding the widows fortune considerable,
married her. OF this marriage there was no
other issue than a daughter, who afterwards

Queens of England Uncle Sam.

HAPPINEss.--Happiness is to be attained in the
accustomed chair by the freside, more than in
the honorary occupation of civic office; in a
wife's love, infinitely more than in the favor of
all human beings else; in chiIdren's innocent and
Joyous praitle, than IN tho hearing Of aatte-
ry; in tho reciprocation of littlo kindnesses be-
tween friend and friend, more than in occasional
and dearly bought indulgence; in the virtue of
contentment, more than in the anxious achieve
ments of wealth, distinction. and GRANDEUR in
change of heart, more than in change of circum-
stance; in full, firm trust in Providence, more
than in hoping for fortunes favor; in growing
taste for the beauties of nature, than in the foe
simple Inheritance of whole acres of land in the
observance of neatness and regularity of house,
holdvrtues, rather than the means of ostentatous

In the South and West particularly, where the
patient is frequently unable to obtain the servi-
ces OF regular physician, some remedy was re-.
quired, ut once safe and cilectual and whose op-
Grafton could in no wise prove prcjudicial TO the
constitution. This medicine is supplied By DR.

instance in which il has hnd trial Always
beneficial, not solitary instance has ever occur
red in which its effects have been INJURIOUS
The invention Of an educated and dis,in guished
physician. i has nothing in common with the
quack nos'runis imposed upon tho public by
shadow pretcndcrs TO the medical art. Experi-
ence has now proved beyond doubt, that DR.
M'Lane's Pills the best remedy ever proposed
for the liver complaint.
