ADVICE TO lIUsBANDs.-Mo Of the
L" advice" alloat is written for the ben
eft Of wives alone, but the following
IS to the other side Of the house, and
meets with our hearty sanction.
When your wife begins to scold
let her have it out. Put your feet up
costly before the fire place loll back in
your chair, light one Of your best CT
gars and let the storm rage OF, saying
nothing, make no reply to anything
Well, a little more advice, if you please.
Having placed yourself in that position,
reflect whether you deserve the thunder
about your ears, and if SO, (Which is
probably the case, put your feet gent
iy down, cease your lolling,' pat out
your cigar, kiss your little wife and
cndeavor to be better husband"

THIRST WORSE THAN HUNGER. II hat
disturbance Of the general system which
is known under the name of raging
thirst, is far more terrible than that Of
starvation, and for this reason:
During abstinence from food, the
organism can still live upon its own
substance which furnishes all the ncces-
sary material ; but, during abstinence
from liquid, ths organism has no such
source Of supply within itself. Men
have been known to endure absolute
priyation Of food fer some weeks, but
three days Of absolute privation' Of drink
(unIess in moist atmospheric is, per
haps, the limit Of endurance. Thirst is
the most atrocious torture ever invent
Ell by oriental tyrants. Il is that which
most 'etfectually taincs animals. Mr..
Ashley, when he had j refractory horse,
always used thirst as the most effective
power Of coercion, giving a little water
as the reward for every act of cbctli-
ence. The histories Of ahipwrcck paint
fearful pictures Of the sunerings endu-
red from thirst; and one of the most
appalling cases known is the celebrated
Imprisonment Of 146 men in the Black
Hole at Calcutta BkQc&w00d.

first seed set in the ground, the first
shilling put in the savings bank, and
the first mile travelled in journey, are
all important things-they make be-

How VALIANT knights FoUGHT IN
THE MIDDLE AGEs.-Thcir mode Of
fighting was as laughable as the stage
combats at country fair. Dsmount-
ing from their horses, they fought on
foot with spear and battle axe { thanks
to their armor) for three mortal hours
without doing much mischief. When
they got out of breath with poAing each
other aboat, they seated themselves near
large ditch in the middle Of the plain,
took off their helmets, refreshed them
selves, then replaced their head-gcar,
and started afrcsh. When driving at
an adversary with their long spears, it
did not suffice to knock him down, and
wounding was quite out of the question,
They urged these weapons forward with
their breasts, and then if one lost his
feet in the melee, he was smothered i'll
his iron pot, and died as became a val
liant knight. i 70 be sure thssc
imprcgnable paladins were supe b fell
lows to lead on in a fight for, clad in
their well tempered armor Of proof,
they lead on to death like heroes their
leather ierkined followers, and showed
them an example Of dauntlass courage
before weapons they knew could not
hurt them, which the commonalty, who
were painfully vulnerable by arrow
heads and steel points, found it difficult
to emulate But peace be with them

" Modern effort runs to the descrip.

vastly more than to the performance Of

Christianity much oftener than grea
