DesDising Household Duties.

From a variety of causes, nothing is so
common as to find American women who
have not the slightest idea Of household du-
ties. "A late writer says:
In this neglect of household cares, Ame-
rican women stand alone. A German
lady, no matter how lofty her rank, never
forsets that domestic labors conduce to the
health of the body and mind alike. An
English lady. whether she be only gen.
tleman's wife or Dukes, does not despise
the household, and even though she
has housckeeper, devotes a portion
of her time to this, her true, her happiest
sphere. 1t is reserved fer our republican
fine ladies to be more choice than even
their monarchial and aristocratic sisters.
The result is lassitude of mind often as
fatal to health as the neglect Of bodily
exercise The wife who leaves her house
hold cares to the servants, pays the penalty
which has been affixed to idleness since the
foundation of the world, and either willis
away from cnnui, Or is driven into al sorts
of fashionable follies to find employment,
for her mind"

TELEGRAPH Lines in India,

A line of seventy-two miles Of telegraph
has been constructed in India, and it is
proposed now to connect all the important
British possessions in India in the same
manner, requiring $500 miles Of telegraph
to be built. A different mode of construc-
ton has been adopted in that affair. An
iron rod five-eighths of an inch thick is sub
stituted for the wire used in the United
States, and it is laid part of the way under
ground, in a cement of melted rosin and
sand. Part Of the way it is carried over
ground on ban boo canes, fifteen feet high,
coated with coal, tar and pitch. 1t runs
through swamps on foot-paths between is
land villages, and crosses rice swamps,
creeks and jeels, on which no embankment
exists. At one point it crosses river
$500 feet wide. Here gutta percha wire
extends across, secured in the angles Of 9
chain cable, which is safeguard against
the grsppells Of the native boats.

Singular Anecdote Of Three Robbers.

Where there is no integrity there can
be no confidence; and where there is no
conf lence there can be no unanimity.-
Three German robbers having acquired,
by various atrocities, what amounted to a
very valuable booty, they agreed to divide
the spoil and retire from SO dangerous
vocation. When the day which had been
appointed for this purpose had arrived, one
of them was despatched to neighbcring
town, to purchase provisions for the last
carousal. The other two secretly agreed
to murder him on his return, that they
might each come in for whole half Of the
plunder, instead of only third. They did
SO. But the murdered man was closer
calculator than his assassins, for he had
previously poisoned a part Of the provisions,
that he might get the whole Of the spoil.
This precious triumvirate were found dead
together "a signal instance that nothing
is so perfectly blind and suicidal as the
seli.hness of vice.

Live for Something.

Thousands of men breathe, and 1.-Two
pass of the stage of life, and are heard OF
no more. Why? None were blessed by
them none could point to them as the
means of their redemption; not line they
wrote, not a word they spoke, could be re-
called, and so they perished: their light
went out in darkness, and they were not
remembered more than insects of yester-
day. Will you thus live and die, o man
immortal? Live for something. DO good,
and leave behind you monument of virtue,
that the storms Of time can never destroy.
Write your name by kindness, love, and
mercy. on the hearts of thousands you
come in contact with year by year, and
you will never be forgotten. No; your
name, your deeds, will be as legible
on the hearts you leave behind, as the
stars on the brow of the evening. Good
deeds will shine as brightly on the earth,
as the stars Of heaven-Dr. Chalmers.
