How TO TREAT A WHE.-First get wife ;
secondly, be patient. You may have great tri-
ais and perplexities in your business with the
world but do not therefore carry to your home
clouded or contracted brow. Your wife may
have many trials which though of less magni-
tude, may have been as hard to bear. A kind,
conciliating word, tender look, will do wond-
ers in chasing from her brow all clouds OF gloom.
You encounter your difficulties in the open air,
famed by heavens cool breezes; but your wife
is often shut in from those healthful influences
and her health fails, and her spirits lose their
elasticity But oh bear with her; she has tr-
ais and sorrow which your kindness can deprive
of all their anguish. Notice kindly her Httle
attentions and efforts to promote your comfort.
Do not take all rs a matter of course, and pass
them by, at the same time being very sure TO
observe any omission of what you may consid-
er duty to you. Do not treat her with indiffer-
ence, if you would not scar and palsy her heart,
which watered by kindness, would, to the latest
day of your existence, throb with sincere and
constant affection. Sometimes yield your wish
es to hers. She has preferences as strong as
you, and it may be just as trying to yield her
choice as to you. Do you find it hard to yield
sometimes? Think you it is not difficult for
her to give up always! If you never yield to
her wishes, there is danger that she will think
you are selfish, and care only for yourself; and
with such feelings she cannot love as she might.
Again, show yourself manly, so that your wife
can look up to you and feel that You, will act
nobly and that she can confdein your judgment.

CAUSE OF BLIGHT IN WHEAT DISCOVERED
Messrs A. II. and E. w. Stevens, of Harmony,
called at the office of the GAINESVILLE Gazette with
a sample of wheat affected with what has usual
ly been termed the blight rot. They had been
examining their wheat for some time, determin-
ed to search out the cause of its so sudden and
general destruction. Atlength, on carefully re-
moving the husk from the berry, they discover
ed little white insect very busily at work eat
ing off the root Of the kernel These insects
soon effect a separation of the stalk from the
berry, and then the latter, deprived Of its nour-
ishment, at once shrivels up and becomes worth
less. In this way they proceed thro' the whole
ear until each kernel is destroyed. 1t was tho't
at first that only the early pieces of wheat would
be affected with blight but this little mischiev-
GUS vermn attacks each field just as the berry
is in the milk and destroys all alike. Here, then,
is a new enemy to the wheat, and the farmers
must study ont some way to combat him sue
cessfuly. He seems thus far to prefer the
hedgerow wheat The Messrs. Stevens are of
the opinion that it is the same species of insect
that destroys the potatoe.

To KILL SQUASH BUGs-A correspondent
sends the following: dip feather in spirits
of turpentine, knock the bugs on to the ground
and give them a touch with it. 1t will kill them,
assure you. BE careful how you get it on to
your plants, or it will kill them, too" We have
found that crushing these striped destructives
between the thumb and fore-fger is pretty sure
death to them.

They cultivate the blackberry in the neigh
borhood of Boston. An old pasture is broken
up, the sprouts are planted in rows in October,
and kept clear Of weeds and otherwise treated
like raspberries. The Agriculurist says that
the fruit thus produced is of size and flavor
which surprises those who are only acquainted
with the wild blackberry
Our readers may not all be aware that the A.
merican species has more agreeable flavor than
the European. There are also different varie-
ties of the American fruit even in its wild state
from which n selection might be made.

which is never adapted to the wants of society,

there was no merit in being good cup-bearer,

Here's definition of what constitutes a
modern infdel, worthy of being carved on ev-
cry door-post in Christendom:
MODERN MFIDEL-The man who has no faith
in the good and beautiful the scofier at human
virtue; the skeptic in human progress; the
doubter of mans capacity for self government
above all, beyond all, the unbelever in woman's
goodness.

testimony of men Of the highest standing here
and elsewhere, it is making some very remarka-
bic cures of Consumption.n
The Railway Register adds: " We have heard
it stated, by persons Of great respectability who
have used this medicine that it is one Of the
most remarkable medicines of the age for
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Bronchitis. Asthma.

for diseased or decaying Lungs, or any portion
of the fleshy or muscular parts of the human
