How TO Treat WIYE.-First get wife,
Secondly, be patient. You may have great trials
and perplexilies in your business with the world !;
but do not therefore carry 10 your home clouded
or contracted brow Yonr wife may have many
trials, which, though of less magnllude,may have
cen as hard to bear. kind conclllating word,
a tender look will do wonders in chasing from er
brow all clouds of gloom. You encounter your
difficulties in the open air, famed by heavens
cool breezes but your wife is often shut In from
these healthful influences, and her health fails,
and her spirits lose their elasticity. But Oh bear
with her she has trials and sorrows to which you
are stranger, but which your tenderness can de-
prive of all their anguish. Notice kindly her
little attentions and efforts to promote your com
fort. Do not take them all as 4 matter of course
and pass them by, att The same time being very
sure to observe any omission of what you may
consider duty to you. Do not treat her with in
difference. if you would not scar and palsy her
heart, which, watered by kindness, would, to the
latest day Of your existence, throb with sincere
and constant affection. Sometimes yield your
wishes to hers. She has preferences as strong as
YOU, and it may be just as trying TO yield her
choice as to YOU. Do you think it hard to yield
som.timese Think you il is difficult for her to
give up al,oap? If you never yield to her wishes,
there is danger that she will think you are selfish,
and care only for yourself; and with such feelings
she cannot love as she might. Again, show your
self manly, so that your wife can look up to you,
and feel that you will act nobly, and that she can
confide in your judgment.

its mouth has not been bridged at that point. we

our carriages upon fiat ferry boat and were coa-
veyed across

dropping their boughs almost to the water, and

stream curved out of sight between wooded hills.

the derivation of the slang political phrase" /" Row

it. Formerly there were extensive salt works on
the river, short distance from its mouth.
The sborers employed in them were set Of
athletic belIigerant fellows, who soon became no.

Hence it became a common thing among the
boatmen on the Ohio, when one of their number
was refractory, to say to him, "Well row you

A TEEToTAL MoNKEY.--Doctor Guthrie re-
lateS the following amusing anecdote ofa domestic
Gated monkey :--"Jack, as he was called, seeing
his master and some companions drinking, with
those initiative powers for which his species is
remarkable, finding half glass of whiskey left,
took it up and drank it off. 1t flew, of course to
his head Amid their roars of laughter, he began
to skip, hop and dance. Jack was drunk. Next
day, when they went, with the intention Of re
peating the fun, 10 take the poor monkey from his
box, he was not to be seen. Looking inside,
there he lay, crouching in a corner. Come out?
said his master. Afraid TO disobey, he came out,
walking on three legs-the fore paw that was
laid on his head saying, as plain as words could
do, that he had a headache. Having left him
some days to get we'll and resumed bis gaety they
At length carried him off TO the scene OF Tevel.-
On entering, he eyed the glasses with manifest
terror, skulking behind the chair; on his master
ordering him 10 drink. he bolted and was on the
house tup in twinkling. They called him down.
He would not come. His master shook the whip
at him, Jack, as,ridc on the rdge-pole, grinned
defiance A gun, Of which he was always much
afraid was pointed at this disciple of temperance (;
he ducked his head, and slipped over TO the back
of the house upon which seeing his predlcament,
and less afraid apparently of the fire thanthe fire
water The monkey caped at bound on the chin
ney. top. and getting down into fue, held on by
his fore paws. He would rather be slnged than
drink. He triumphed, and although his master
kept him for twelve years after that, he never
could pursnade the monkey to taste another drop
of whiskey."

Tur HrNAN WITDPIPE.-The wIndppe Is
tbst tube. through which the air or breath passes
to and from the lungs. 1t commences al 1ne
throat. at the root of the tongue, and extehos
dawn 10 the lungs, where it divides into two
branches. one Of which enters the right and the
othar the left lung. These branches are again
enbdiyided into innumerable smaller tubes, which
ramify in every direction through the substance
of the IunGs and finally terminate in little clus-
tors of cavities. which are formed around their
extremities, like grapes around their stem.--
These are the Bronchial Tubes and the .dE
Cells. Now, the wndpips is composed OF TWO
n,r,e or rather-we give different names to dif-
fereni naris of the same tube. Thus, the trst, or
unner mart is called the Larynx, and the lower
nart the Traches. The larynx commences at the
root of the tongue and extends down below that
s;ro,I.r nro,ninence on the front of the neck OF
man known as the "apple Of ADAM" so named
b. ,be ancient anatonsis, from the fauciful idea
,b,, i, renresented the difficulty experienced by
our primeyal ancestor in dlsposing OF 'he iorola,
den fruit. The larynx is composed OF seVerai
strong cartilages serving as framework 10 pro-
Zoo, he delicate organs of the voice. Being iuF-
nished with vibratiye cords, it forms perfect
,n,s;c,I instrument, more or less under the con-
,roI If the will. By the perfect action OF these
chords. the vocalist and the speaker are enabled
to produce that lu6nity Of sound, which conduces
50 much to our enjoyment. The entrance into the
larynx is closed by little valve, which rises up
from the root Of the tongue; this IS tne Eps'oHs'
On the approach Of food ur drink, this HUE seh-
mel compels the nutrment to pass on 70 'ne s'oih-

end. in ,he trachea. The whole length of the
tube. to which the name larynx is applied, is NOT
more than from one and halt to two inches.
