that the Bible says harlly anything about

of religious man only once, and of religion
only twice, except where it speaks Of the

What does this Bible talk Of, then! 1t talks
of God-not of religion, but of God. lttells

WIND SUcKING.-Ths detestablo habit in

Wind sucking is habit, Clke chewing to-

1t can only be praclised, however, under ia
yUrable crcumstancps--ihat is when there
is some Object an which the horse can rest
his teeth, located about as high us his breast
such as II common manger, Tor instance-
The best remedy, therefore, is To place the
feeding trough as low MS the ground or hnor
oi the stable, and ihe hayrark as high as the
horsr can reach; and see that there s no OBJ
jet of an intermediate height for him to rest
his teeth To suck wind. Care must also be
taken that when out of the stable. he is not
allowed Ia stand near ipi rr ar stump. or
any object of convenient height, for prac'is-
ing this habit. IN the course ni few months,
say five or six he will forget the trick.

AN ECONOMICAL WIFE.-The Sultan oI
Turkey is not much better off than ordinary
morials-his wife runs him in de ( little,
Just a little sometimes. The old fellow il
seems has lately walked up and found himself
n very ill.used man. Having slowly opened
his eyes TO the fact that there was fuss Gf
some kind or other going on-that merchants
and Jews, and jewellers, and shop-keepers of
all nations and tribes were camoring at the
doors of his palace, he issued his orders to
the Grand Vizier to enquire about it, The
Vizrr told his Secretary, and the Secretary
told the Captain of the Guards, and the cap
tain told the corporal, and the corporal went
to see about it.
Back to the Sultan went the report tina:
these bawling fellows were creditors of the
Sultan, and thereupon n general examination
into matters and things was made, and the
Sultan received the gratifying intelligence
that his dear spouse owned the pretty little
sum of iIty.iour millions of piasierS, or
about six millions and half of dollars!
Here was steNl That was more money
than His Sublimity was worth, but he couldn't
get out of it, and had to toe the mark, and
borrow of course. Poor fellow! But it NAV
be- some consolation for him to know about
nine tcnths of the married men of the world
are treated by their wives no better than he
has been. We advise him to study philos.
ophy, and smoke his pipe in peace.
