Husbands and Lovers.

A husband is as easily caught as measles or
mackercl. To make him stay caught, however, is
difficult as TO keep your hold of eel with slip
perry fingers. Hearts, like secrets are much easier
gained than kept, for which il requires more
attention, and solicitude, from the wife the
husband than from the mistress TO the adoring lover
The lover being but seldom with you, sees you only
in part IL is natural TO suppose, you would neither
appear before him in a satternly dress nor with
peevish aspect. Your clothes will be always put
on with neatncss, and your face dressed in smiles
On the contrary, the husband being always in your
company, has an opportunity of discovering every
little defect blemsh in your person, manners or
disposition; TO see you not only when in full dress,
but when your hair is yet in "the papers, and prr-
haps when you yourself are laboring under an at
tack of the toothache. For this reason, the chief
study of a wife should be TO guard against every
thing that possibly derange either her mind or
equanimity-for whatever brings on clouds or sulk-
mess Is sure to estrange the affections of the very
best of husbands
Among the virtues which the sex should cherish
with a most scrupulous regard, deicacy, neat
ness, and dccorum. Many young women ina gine
that all that matrimony consists OF is wedding AXE
and n short address from a white neckerchicf. No
thing, however, could be more fabulous-Inarriage
Is a state that needs as much watching an heir
ess, and should be cultivated with much care as
you would bestow daughters purity.
As we observed above, always appear neat, and
preserve your equanimity, for nothing degrades a
rufiicd as 10 usc improper language 10 her de-
pendants; nor can any thing be more disgusting to
man OF sense tan see ms vile give way 70 sudden
starts of passion.
To every friend and relation Of your husband,
show polite attention, and marked preference.
Show him, that TO be related 10, OF esteemed by
him, Is sufficient claim upon your regard. What
ever be his errors, conflne the knowledge of them
10 your own bosom; and endeavor, by the mildest
persuasions, TO lead him TO the path of rcctitude
Discretion must direct you as 20 the proper
10 offer your advice and opinions; since men in gen
eral are 80 tenacious of their prerogativc that they
start from every thing which has the least appear
ance OF control or opposition II he should be fond
OF company, dissipation, and expensive amuse
ments, be Il your study 10 detach his mind from
those pursuits, by endeayoring 10 render his home
delightful Let your face be ever arraycd in smiles
at his approach; form a society of those he loves
and esteems most; exert your. various abilities TO
charm and entertain him; and believe he who con-
stantly meets checrfulness and smiles at home will
seldom wish 10 seek abroad for pleasure.
Above all things, suffer any person 10 speak
unexpectedly OF him in your presence; and guard
your heart from the least approach Of jealousy.

Improved Agriculture.

We are gratiied 10 learn that neighbors of
Montgomery county, Maryland, are still progress
ing in the work Of improvement. The Rockville
Journal OF the Sth June states that the farmers of
that county will use more extensively of the guano
and other fertilizers the coming fall, than they have
ever before done In Medley's district alone, over
two hundred tons will be purchased. They have
proved this agent we'll, and the proof Of its effca-
cy Is no longer needed.
The same journal contains the following re-
marks:
"We have been told that many persons have
doubted the truth of the repeated statements made
through our columns, editorially and by commu-
nications, IN reference TO the improvement in our
lands and crops To all doubtcrs we would say
come and look, and doubt no longer
"Within five miles of this town the instances are
numerous where fine fields Of wheat, corn, and
oats are now growing, which, three years ago
were in commons and sedge.
"We will not attempt to speak of them in detail;
we mention one case which, again say, is far
from being an isolated one. There is farm of
several hundred acres. near this place, on which
the owner several years ago, with difficulty sup
ported small family; he sold out and removed TO
the West, to seek more fertile lands The present
owner II Is thought, will cut from this place the
coming harvest at least thousand bushels of
wheat. His corn and oats also promise a very fine
yield, with pretty prospect of very large crop
of grass and other products.
we have nothing to gain by lnisreprescnting
our improvements. We have spoken the truth;
and have, we know, our neighbors will testify,
otencr come short of than above the actual fact in
regard TO Montgomery county improvements. We
were born in Montgomery; attachments are
strong for the dear old county; have had for
many years To mourn her poverty, and now that
she Is redeemed, her worn out fields poor and
barren no longer, but groaning under the weight
OF heavy and luxuriant crops, will speak out,
We will crow we will tell the truth, let who will
doubt -

AN ORlESTAL EMBAssY.-On the 25th utimo his
excellency General Jung Bahadoor Koorman Ran

the Kingdom of Nepaul, situated on the borders of
Thibet, arrived in England, as ambassador extra

avoid contact with Christians had the whole of the
fore cabins and saloons of the steamer exclusively
To their own use, and there they fitted up their
own cooking apparatus. The general is a hand
some Oriental, very dark, thirty years old and
great man in India. He dresses riagnificently,
and his manners said TO be polished and grace
ful. When they landed at Southampton they
would not go Ia hotel, but occupied the peninsular
offices, and had their cooking apparatus erected in
the yard. They are very mysterious about their
cooking and eating. They arc continually wash
ing, fond of smoking, and of all Oriental habits of
luxury.

was engaged had terminated bonorably, the young

Establishing the 44td California in the yet almost

his intelligence and discretion aided largely in
giving form, order, and stability 10 the elements
out of which society and government were con
structed. Having assisted in framing constitu-
ton cminently enlightened and free, the electors of
the new State of California manifested their
oi the services and worth of their fellow citizen by
making him their representative in Congress. The
dinner went of admirably. Its interest was sus-
tanned throughout. His honor, Mayor Townsend,
presided. assisted by ii. IL. Van Dyck, of the Aaas,

WATER USED ~ Ngw YoRK.-Tbe president of
the Croton Aqueduct Board, in a communication TO
the Board of Aldermen, states that the supply Of
water now afforded 20 the city is nearly equal to
that supplied 10 the city Of London with than
times the amount used in Philadelphia. lie com
plains Of the waste Of water almost prodiga and
lac is Of the opinion that at this the citizens
may find that half million Of people may exhaust
the CrCtOn river with all its tributaries; that the
two reservoirs and the lines Of the pipes will con
tain one hundred and seventy five millions Of gal
Ions, which, at the average consumption through
out the year, one hundred and fifty millions would
give supply Of only twelve days, and, during the
heat OF the summer, Of only ten days. lie thinks
that necessity for reservoir will be required
for twenty years, the existing be used witt
moderation and care The president, however, has
an eye 10 other things, viz: An accident by which
the supply Of water might be cut off; in which case
the loss of water might cause any amount Of suffer
ing. Heavy land slides might cause the ground
on which the aqueduct is built 10 give way and
long continued rains might cause such q land
slide. These circumstances taken into view. the
president thinks that, until the supply becomes
equal TO ninety or one hundred days consumption,
the people should not feel secure. To supply this
dcinand, ono or two reservoirs, capable OF con-
tanning live hundred millions of galOns, and COW
ering am area Of from one hundred TO one hundred
and twenty Of land, must sooner OF later be
built The earlier this Is done the more will be
saved in the expenditure. The communication al
the president was laid ON the table and ordered to

FATAL EXPERIMENT IN KRosrATIos.--Ye ester

the appearance of balloon, of singular form,
traversing the metropolis, occasioned some specu-
aton to whether the frail car from its oscilla-
ting gyrations contained an animate or inanimate
eronaut.
The occupant Of the car was the gentleman above
mentioned, who man9uvred his bark through the
realms Of air with dexterity that puts all his
temporaries in the shade. Without endeavoring
nlnutely to describe this balloon il may be
briefly stated that il Is of elliptic shape, some
what resembling in form the Spanish melon Of veg

with netting OF cordage. and with spring valve.

estimated that the balloon would contain about if
