EDUCATION OF HUSBANDS.

EUU CAI1UN Oc hOooANOS
Punch gives US an excellent article on
the Education of Husbands, worthy of
the best days of Caudle, as follows:
How suggestive is the new year of
bills, and bills of housekeeping! 1t is
fearful to reflect how many persons rush
into matrimony totally u%nprepared for
the awful change that awaits them. A
man may take a wife at t~wenty-one, be.
fore he knows the difference between a
chip and a Leghorn. We would no
more grant a marriage license to any
body simply because he is of age, than
q license on that ground only to prac-
tice as an apothecary. Husbands ought
to be educated. We would like to have
the following questions put to young I'M
experienced persons about to marry:
Are you aware, sir of the price of coal
and candles?
Do you know which is the most eco
nomical, the fitch, bone or the round !?
How far-youngL manIWil aleg OF
mutton go in a small family?
How much dearer, now, is silver than
Britannia?
Please to give the average price of a
four-poster?
Declare, if you can rash youth, the
sum per annum that chemisttes, peler-
ines, cardinals, bonnets, wells, caps, rib
bons, flowers, gloves, cuffs and collars,
would come to in the lump?
If unable to answer these inquiries,
we would say to him, $50 back to
school"
He that would be a husband should
also undergo a training, physical and
moral. He should be farther examined
thus:
Can you read or write, amid the noise
and yells of the nursery?
Can you wait any given time for break
fast D.?
Can you maintain your sincerity du-
ring a washing day
Can you cut your old friends?
Can you stand being contradicted in
the face of all reason?
Can you keep your temper when you
are not listened to?
Can you do what you are told with
out being told why?
In one word, young sir, have you the
patience of Job?
If you can lay your hand upon your
heart and answer Eyes," take your Ii
cense and marry-not else.
To this a lady writer makes the fol-
lowing addenda, under the head of
" Questions to a Girl before Marrying :"
Are you aware of the price of cigars,
clubs, and oysters?
Do you know how to make a piece of
tough, dry meat rich, juicy and tender ?
Can you " get up an abundant, taste
full, and savory dinner, on short notice,
and with twenty-five cents in your peck
ct?
Can you bear the frequent presenta-
tion of bills with no money to meet
them
Is your wardrobe we'll stocked ? ex-
cept not to have it often replenished.
Can you bear with the cries of chil-
dren, pinched by out grown shoes?
Can you wait auy given time for sup
PER-
Can you maintain your serenity du-
ring political discussions?
Can you cut your old friends?
Can yow keep your temper when you
are not listened to d?
Can you do what you are told, with
out being told why?
Can you bear to hear the oft repeated
" wonder where the money all goes"
whenever you humbly ask for a barrel
of flower or a ton of coal?
In one word, have you t1oice the pa
thence of JOB

1T can be established by reliable persons who
L have used WIsNER's TUB, that it is the best
and most convenient machinery for
CLOTHES 3
that was ever invented. This valuable inven-
ton has been in use nearly two years, and is
now extensively employed in nearly every
State in the Union. 1t is equally well adapted
to the washing of the largest as well as the
smallest fnbrics. Among the leading estab-
lishments of the county where it is used, may
be mentioned the HOWARD AND BROAD
WAY HOTELS. New York. Reference can
also be had ut Canton, Norwalk and Ashland
where it is generally employed.
j. r. SQUIRE, of Ashland, haYingpurchas-
ed the right of Ashland County, is now pre-
pared to furnish TUBS ON short notice.
Directions for Using the Tub.
Mace half a dozen of shirts, or equal, in the
tub with the heated water and soap-wrist-
bands and collars, should be well soaped The
water should cover the follower bear no
weight on the follower, but turn it easily with
a semf-eireular movement: rub the clothes
through two suds and the washing is done.
Among the many valuable testimonials that
have come to hand we subjoin a few
Opinions oftl1e Press.
From the perfect simplicity, ease, and excel
lent manner with which by the aid of Wisner's
Washer. this most laborious though very nee
essary work is accomplished, we should pro-
nounce 1t far in advance of the old, if not of any
attempt ever invented for washing or cleansing
clothes.-RoCHEsTER GENEsEE FARMER.
IVA new and useful Wash Tub, lately in
vented by the Rev. Joel Wisner, is now being
used to a great extent in our community and
gives good satisfaction. 1t needs no recon-
mc ndations, therefore, from us to commend it
to general use. Itspeaks for itself-NoRwALK
ONO REFLECTOR.
UInthe wholerange ofInventions for wash
ing, we know of nothing SO handy, so neat or
so generally useful as this little Continuance of
Wisner's. Divested as it is of all compli-
cations in the shape of wheels, cranks, &C., it
cannot get out of order, and for the same reason
not see how it can well be improved or
simplif9d.-OHIo FARMER, Cleveland.

AN EXECUTIVE REAsoN.-A singular of
executive clemency took place in Mississippi, a
short time since, in the pardon of one llassly, a
foreigner. He had been convicted and sentenced
for selling liquor to negroes. Application was
made to Governor McRea for his pardon. and tho
argument used in his favor, was, that he was IA
foreigner, <hort time in this country. and un.
acquainted with the law" The wife of said IIass
ly was two years previously indicted for the same
offence, still it pleaded he was ignorant of
tina law; and had been in the country too short n
time to know anything of it. Hassy came to
this country in 1850, was naturalizcd in 1856 was
convicted and sentenced to prison the very next
day. and pardoned in three months after on the
ground eff his being "a foreigner, short time in
