Choice of a Husband.

If a man wipes his feet on the door-mat be-
fore coming into the room, you may be sure
he will make good domestic husband If a
man, in snuffing the candles, snuffs them out,
you may be sure he will make stupid hus-
band. If man puts his handkerchief on his
knees whilst taking his tea, yon may be sure
he will make prudent husband. In the same
way, always mistrust the man who will not
take the last piece of toast, but prefers waiting
for the next warm batch. 1t is not unlikely
he will make greedy, selfish husband, with
whom you will enjoy no brown at dinner, no
crust at tea, no peace whatever at home. The
man, my dears, who is careful about wrapping
himself up well before entering into the night
air, not unfreqnenily makes a good invalid hus-
band, that mostly stops at home, and is easy
comforted with Stops. The man who watches
the kettle and prevents it boiling over, will not
fail, my dears, in his married state in exercis-
ing the same care in always keeping the pot
boiling. The man who doesn't take tea, i'll
treats the cat, takes snuff, and stands with his
oacK 10 Inc hire, is brute whom would not
advise you my dears, to marry upon any con-
sideration, either for love or money. but most
decidedly not for love. But the man who
when the tea is over, is discovered 10 have had
none, is sure to make the best husband p.,;.
ence like his, deserves being rewarded with the
best of wives, and the best Of mothers-in-law.
My dears, when you meet with such man, do
your utmost to marry him. In the severesr
winter he would not mind going to bed first.

The Butcher and the Bear.

A farmer, who had bought calf from a
butcher, desired him to drive il to his farm,
and place it in the stable, which he according
ly did. Now it happened that very day, that
man with grinding organ and dancing
pear. passing BY that way, began their antics
:" 'front.' OF the farm. After amusing the farm
ers family for some time, the organ man en-
Tered the farmers house, and asked the farmer
II ne could give him nights lodging. The
farmer replied that he could give the man 4
lodging, but he was at loss where u ~, ,hs
bear. After musing little, he determined 20
bring the calf inside the house for that n;oh,
and place the bear in the stable, which was
done. Now, the butcher, expecting The calf
would remain in the stable all night, resolved
to steal il ere morning land the farmer and
his guest were in the night awakened by

Singing conducive to Health.

Il was the opinion of DR.. Rush, that singing
by young ladies, whom the customs of society
debar from many other kinds of healthy exer.
else, should be cultivated, not only as an ac-
compishment, but as means of preserving
health. He particularly insists that vocal
music should never be neglected in the educa-
ton OF a young lady; and states by its salutary
operation In soothing the cares of domestic life,
1t has still more direct and important effect.
here introduce fact says DIR. Rush,
which has been subjected to me by my pro-
fession; that is, the exercise of the organs of
the breast by singing contributes to defend
them very much from those diseases 10 which
the climate aud other causes expose them
The Germans are seldom afflicted with con-
sumption, nor have ever known of more than
one case of splitting blood amongst them
This, believe, is in part occasioned by the
strength which their lungs acquire by exercis-
ing them frequently in vocal music, which con-
sttutes an essential branch of their education ,
The music teacher of an academy says Mr..
Gardner, has furnished me with an obserya-
ton still more in favor with this opinion. He
informs me that he has known several instances
of persons strongly disposed to consumption,
restored to health by exercising their lungs in
singing. In the new establishment Of infant
schools for children Of three or four years of
age, evory thing is taught BY the aid Of song.
Their little lessons, their recitations, their
arithmetic countings, are all chaunted; and as
they feel the Importance of their own voices
when joined together, they emulate each other
in the power Of vociferating. This exercise
is found to be very beneficial to their health
Many instances have occurred of weakly chill
dren Of two or three years of age, who could
hardly support themselves, having become ro-
bust and healthy by this constant exercise Of
the lungs. These results are perfectly philo-
sophical. Singing intends TO expand the chest,
and thus increases the activity and powers of
The vital organs. Dg

The Shakers.

A correspondent Of the Pittsburg Christian
Advocate, writing from Jones's Hill, de-
lightful retreat at the base of Laurel Hill, one
of the Alleghanies, and some twenty four
hours by coach from Piltsburg, has the fol-
lowing account Of the Dunkards, who reside
on Indian creek, in that vicinity
In their meetings, they not only feast their
souls but their bodies, and in connection with
their services. have feast somewhat resem-
bling the Jewish passover, consisting of pas
chal lamb, soup, bread. etc. One part of the
church is partiiiOned OFF for a kitchen, and along
one entire side Of the house the tables are ar
ranged for the guests-males at one end, fe-
males al The other. The soup is served up in
large pewter bowls, and set about six feet
apart, SO that half dozen can eat on, Of the
same dish. The mutton, bread, etc., is strung
along the table at convenient distances, and
after thanks are returned, all eat 10 their sat
isfaction. .8
Before eating, however, there is an extern
sive kissing operation, and washing Of feet
each sex attending 10 its own Department.
This is done by two persons, one bearing a
pail Of water, the other girded with long
towel. The congregation being all arranged
for the ceremony, the man bearing the water
comes up and kisses the first man, next washes
his feet, then kisses him again, and goes on to
another. The man with the towel goes on
through the same operation, only drying in
stead ofwashing the feet. Thus every man
and woman is kissed four times in the one per
Torrance.
After the supper is over the preaching COM
mences and if there are a dozen ministers
present, they must all say something The
following is synopsis of one Of the sermons ::
Dear Predren, Ven look over dish con-
gregason, and see so few proad-priln hats,
long peards, and strait coats, fear after all der
be but remnant saved. Dear predren, let us
keep Gods holy commandments, and not let
tour shildren go and hear larned preachers who
splain away all The Goshpel. Let US, dear
predren, keep Gods commandments, in wear
ing long peards, strait coats, and in washing
of feet. And now, predren, let us give tanks,
eat little soup, and be dismissed
After preaching, the Lords supper is ad-
ministered. Unleaven bread and wine are the
embems used in this sacrament but Just be-
fore partaking Of the bread, every man and
woman leans over and kisses his or her neigh
Dor.
In baptizing, they dip their candidates three
times-once in the name Of each person in the
Godhead-and with their faces downward, not
believing in going backward into heaven. AT
ter baptism, the men generally wear long
boards, strait coats, and broad-brimmed hats
and the women blue calico hood, or sun-bon-
net, and small, borderless cap, with tight
gered dress.
They are an Industrious and honest people
nou-resistant, and charitable toward their own
sect; but not strict observers Of the Sabbath
as they regard all days alike.

God Knows it All.


In the dim recess Of thy spirits chamber
Is there some hidden grief thou may'st no
tell
Let not thy heart forsake thee bat remember
His plying eye, who sees and knows it well
God knows il all
And art thou tossed on pillows Of temptation,
And would'st do good, but evil oft prevails
O think amid the waves of tribulation,
When earthly hopes and earthly refuge fails
God knows it all F.!
And dost thou sin, the deed of shame conceal
In some dark spot no human eye can see,
Then walk in pride, without one sigh revealing
The deep remorse that should disquiet thee.
God knows it all
Art thou oppressed and poor, and heavy-heart-
The heavens above thee in thick clouds ar
Iayed,
And we'll nigh crushed; no earthly thought i'm
parted,
NO friendly voice 70 say, - De not AFRAID
God knows it all
Art thou mourner are thy tear-drops flowing
For one too early lost to earth and thees
The depths Of grief no human spirit knowing,
Which moan in secret like the moaning sea.
God knows it all
Dost thou look back upon life of SHINING:
Forward, and tremble for thy future lot
There's one who sees the end from the begin
ming,
Thy tear of penitence is unfOrgot-
God knows it all !
Then 60 to God. Pour out your heart before
him;
There is no grief your Father cannot feel;
And let your grateful songs of praise adore
him
To save, forgive, and every wound to heal.
