Married and Single Life.

We extract the subjoned from a speech
delivered by Mr. Alexander Frizell in reply
to the toast of The Ladies, at the recent
banquet of the Quarter Sessions Grand jury:
Mr. Frizell, after some Introductory re-
marks, said; | remember reading an anec-
dote which connot forbear mentioning, it
so beautifully illustrates the force of female
affection. When the Emperor Conrad be-
seiged Hensburg, the women of the CITY
found it was impossible the place could hold
ont. They, therefore, unanimously petition
ed the Emperor to allow them to leave the
city with only as much as each could car
ry with her. The Emperor, believing that
the burden of each would necessarily be-
light, conceded their request A FLAG of
truce was hoisted, and silence prevailed,
when the city gates flew open. The women
marched out rank and fle-and what do
you think they we're CARRYING? Peace be
to their ashes, aud honor to their memory
Every one Of them had her husband on her
back. (Cheers.) The Emperor was so
stricken by their conjugal fidelity that he
restored the wives back to their husbands
and the city to all its former privileges
Now Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen, l
ask you, could all the bachelors in the wide
world this day produce an action compare
ble to that
oh, that had the reasoning power of
Socrates, that I might induce these young
men whom see around me to consult their
own happiness by reuouncing what is false
ly called single blessedness ! (Great
cheeriug.) Socrates, once, on delivering a
lecture to the Athenians on love and matri-
mony, pressed home his subject so powerful
ly and so convincingly on the hearts Of his
audience, by showing them the comforts and
advantages the married man possessed over
the bachelor, that all the men rose up ia a
body and solemnly declared that they would
marry on the first available opportunity
J OF course ladies will not be the first to de-
|, clare their love. No! they would rather
} let coucealment, like worm in the bud,
: feed or their damask cheek They are
, like the golden nuggets in auriferous regions

WINTER GARDENING.-There are few
golden rules to be observed during winter,
of which may be enumerated in the fol-
lowing:
Water all plants that require it in the
morning; leave no water in the saucer of
any plant after the whole has become sat-
urated through; never water by drips, but
give the whole good soaking, or the con-
sequence often is that the top of the mould
is wetted, while the lower, containing the
roots, is dust; sponge over the foliage as
often as it becomes dusty; take pointed
stick and once in while stir the surface
of the soil, but not deep enough to disturb
the roots this acts the same part as hoeing
in summer, and tends vastly to promote
the growth of the plants. Give each plant
space enough for air to circulate around it
if possible; let it have the benefit of a
little pure air at times"

ONIONS FOR FowLs.-Scarcely too much
can be said in praise of onions for fowls
They seem to be preventive and remedy
for varions diseases to which domestic poui-
try is liable. Having frequently tested their
exeellencies, we can speak unhesitatingly.
For gapes, and Inflammation Of the throat.
eyes, and head, onions are almost specific.
We would recommend feeding fowls, and
especially the young chicks, with as many
as they will eat, as often as twice or three
times week. They should be finely chop

sactioned even by medical men, who ought
to know better, that the eyes are preserved
by opening them every morning in basin
of cold water. Some of the worst cases OF
petepgioum, or film on the surface of the
eye, have been witnessed in those who have
boasted Of this practice. When the water
gets into the wind pipe, the nostrils, or the
ear, irritation is produced; and when the
eyes are opened underwater, the sensation is
anything but agreeable The eye is lubri-
Gated by secretion admirably adapted to
facilitate the motions of the lid over the
surface, and as this secretion is partially So
luble in water, it is as inconsistent with
common sense to wash it away as it is to
remove the oils from machinery 1t is
unquestionably important that the cleanli-
ness Of the organ be maintained; yet this
may be accom- plished in the usual manner,
without opening the lubricating surfaces
When the secretion is vitiated by cold or
other causes, ounce seed tea or milk water
is preferable to water alone. Avoid eye
waters, many of which contain lead, and
there are ten chances to one that they will
produce an incurable film. To make this
clear, dissolve little sugar of lead II
water, and pour the transparent solution II
