GOLDEN RULES FOR WIVES.


Resolve every morning to be cheerful that
day, and should anything occur to break
your resolution, suffer it not to put you out
Of temper with your husband Dispute not
with him; be the subject what it may. but
rather deny yourself the satisfaction of having
your own will, or gain the better Of an argu-
ment, than risk qaarrel.or create heart
burning whichit is impossible to see the end
Of Implicit submission of man to his
wife, is ever SO disgraccful to both, but i'm
plieit submission in wife to the just will Of
her husband is what she promised at the altar,
what the good will revere her for and what
is in fact the greatest honor she can receive.
BE assured, woman's power, as well as her
happiness, has no other foundation than her
husbands esteem and love, whichit is her in
terest by all possible means, to preserve and
increase, share and soothe his cares and with
the utmost assiduity, conceal lis errors

LIFE AND ExIsrANcE

The mere lapse Of years is not life To
eat and drink, and sleep--to be exposed to
darkness and the lisht--to pace round the
mill of habit, and turn thought into an i'm
plement of tradc--this is not life la oil
this, bat poor fraction Of the consciousness
Of humanity is awakened, and the sanctitics
still slumber which make it worth while to
be. knowledge. truth, love beauty, good
nesstaith alone can give vitality to the mech
anism q existence The laugh Of mirth that
vibrates through the heart--thc tear that
freshcns the dry waters within--thc music
that brings childhood back--thc prayer that
calls the future near--the doubt which
makes us mcdtatc---the death which startles
us with misery--the hardship which forces
us to struggle--the anxiety that sends in
truth--are the true nourishment Of our nat
ural being.

My lord, am Protestant dissenter;

retired into my closet in the evening for pray

words than the court. which was crowded
with some hundreds of students, rang with q
peal Of loud laughter.
The Judge looked round the court as one
astonished and with a decent soemnity laid
his hand upon the bench. as if he was going

LAWS OF HEALTH.


Children should be taught to use the left
hand as well as the right.
Coarse Sread is much better for children
than 6ne.
Children should sleep in scperate beds, and
should not wear night caps.
Children under seven years OF age should
not be confined over six or seven hours In the
house and that time should be broken By
frequent recesses
Children and young people must be made
TO bold their heads up and their shoulders
back while sitting. standing or walking. The
best beds for children are of hair, or, in win
ter. Of hair and cotton.

employments should drop one third of their
food. and they will escape dyspepsia,

hours day in the open air.
Young ladies should be prevented from
bandaging the chest. We have known three
cases Of insanity terminating in death. which
begun in this practice.
Every person, great and small. should wash
all over in cold water every morning.
Heading aloud is conducive to health.
The mere clothing we wear, other things
being equal the less food we need.
Sleeping rooms should have Fireplace. OF

dows.
Young people and others cannot stud,
