DO all in your power to teach your children
se!fgovernment. If child is passionate,
teach him, by gentle and patient means. to
curb his temper. If he is greedy, cultivate
liberality in him. If he is selfish, promote
generosity. If he is sulky, charm him out of
it by encouraging frank, good humor In
short, give your children the habit of over
coming their besetting sin.

Too TRUE. Old Briggs asked us the other
day, if we could tell why people almost in
varlably took a journey after marriage. We
replied in the negative, and made application
to him for information.
Because exclaimed the msanthrope,
they seek for happiness, and feel satisfied
that they will not be able to find it at home ,
Briggs married when quite young, and his
wife put on his inexpressibles the first week !;
so we concluded not to put too much depen-
dence on his savings.

A SABBATH LAW IN MEDICINE. We have
heard il said that love, even the fondest and
longest, requires at least one absence week,
to renew IFS depth and freshness, but we did
not know there was Sabbath in medicine =
well. The Hydropathic Journal says -
One day in seven, water treatment should
be discontinued, with the exception of sim
pie ablution in the morning. Six days treat
ment in the week are worth more than seven,
because it is law Of nature that if a remedy is
continued steadily and without change, it loses
much Of its good effect. This is as true OF
water as of any other agent. Those who do
wisely, will omit the treatment on Sunday,
whatever their religious convictions may be-. ,
1t would be subject of curious inquiry, how
far throughout nature this Seventh-day law of
intcrmission extends. -Home Journal

Ic his age was victorious. Among
other honors paid him, it was deter.
mined to erect brazcn statue, which
should be placed in the most conspicu-
Gus pa't Of the city. The day Of the
presentation Of this statue to public
view, presented a trait in the character
Of Valerins still! more lovely than his
talents.
At the moment in which the CHIEF
magistrate was placing crown
of laurel on the head Of the statue. Va
lcrius perceived a young man, who
had conteste ! the prize with him, and
who was, in the opinion Of many, little
inferior to him, looking on this sccne
with u sorrowiul and detected countcn

the cause Of his chngrin, and detcrmnf
