To- It is peculiar misfortune Of
woman, resulting from the relative
position which they occupy in society,
that they never can see more than one
side of a mars character Ofcourse,
the fair side is always presented to-
wards them; and all the darker traits
and wilder extravagances are sedu-
lousy concealed on the reverse.
This makes it so doubly dangerous
for girl to consult only her own
preferences, and her own will, in
making her choice for life; and this
also proves the expediency, on all oc-
casions, of taking the advice Of some
experienced counsellor. Many man
may shine in the salon by his wit
taste, elegance, and address, or good
breeding; and yet, when he quits 50.
ciety, and revolves upon his axis, the
darker half Of his day may be passed
in the kennel. the stable, Or the gsmb'
llng-house.

HOWE AND WIFE ON SATURDAY.
Happy is the man who has a little
home and little wife in it, on Satur-
day night. A house, no matter how
little, provided it will hold two or so,
no matter how furnished, provided
there is hope in it, let the wind blow
closter the curtains--wbat it they are
calico, or plain, without borders or
tassel, or any such thing? Let the
rain come down; heap up the fire.
No matter if you havn't candle to
bless yourself with, for what beauti-
full light, glowing Goals make, redding,
clouding, shedding sunset radiance,
through the little room just enough
to talk by, not so loud as in the high
ways; not rapid as in the burrying
world--but softly, slowly, whispering,
with pauses between them, for the
storm without and the thoughts within
to gil up.
Then wheel the sofa round before
the fire no matter if the sofa is set
tee, upchusioned at that !; if so, many
it be just long enough for two, or say
two and half. How sweetly the
music Of silver bells from time to time
falls on the listening ear then. How
mournfully swell the chimes Of the "
day that are no more"

North, East, and West, while none

WoMAN.--There is nothing in the

ter calculated to secure the universal
admiration Of mankind, than one
whose beauty and purity il only equal

lot to be thrown into her society,
The human heart and eye dulled
and blunted as they are by contract
with the ordinary and menotopous
things of everyday life, rest with a
feeling Of peculiar and pleasure upon
the charms Of such being. And we
feel amply rewarded for oil previous

happy privilege Of her acquaint-
ance. It is under such circumstances
that we feel something still survives

things should be left alone to the
great and glorious among men. But
when these eptabla'ures upon which
are inscribed the great deeds Of man
shall have mouldered into dust, the
kind and benevolent acts Of woman
stamped in inehaeeable characters up
on the human heart shall flourish
through all the changes Of time and
place and like the Phoenix, shall en-
erge from the inanition Of tomb, and
shall resume their wanted place in the
memory and heart there to bloom for
ever, unforgotten, in eternity and i'm

pointed by the last Legislature to re-
port at the next session upon the best
means Of stocking Tie waters Of The
State with fish. It seems the subject

We clip the following from an ex-
change. "The National History So

Committee to consider the feasibility
of stocking the rivers with salmon
There seems TO be no boubt that it
can be done. The only question is, if
it can be made profitable. %

gentleman Of our acquaintance is en-
gagged in breeding fish on the banks
the Cauandaigna Lake. Although
sufficient time has not elapsed to show
results, he is confident Of being able
to stock that beautiful sheet of
water with speckled trout. And
ifthe thing is possible, he is the man
to do it. y
We look upon the movement as
promising much good The superior
i'y ofdisb to flesh, as an article Of food
for those Of sedentary habits, is well
attested. 1t is also we'll known that
they are fattened cheaply and quickly

prominent article of food be attended
with reduction in the cost of liyirg I?
That they afford a delicate article for

To PREVENT HoRsBs BEING TEAsEb
nv FL1Es.-~Take two or three small
handfuls Of walnut leaves, upon which
pour two or three-quarts Of cold water !;
let it infuse one night, and pour the
whole, next morning, into kettle,
and boil for a quarter Of a hour when
cold it is fit for use. Moisten sponge
with it, and before the horse goes out
of the stable, let those parts which are
most irritable. be smeared over with
the liquor. Every merciful man who
uses horse during the hot months,
should promote his comfort by this
simple measure.
