DR.. Rae, the famous overland Arctic

Geographical Society in New York on
Thursday evening, aud exhibited some
Of the relics of the expedition Of Sir
John Franklin, which he had secured,
consisting Of spoons and forks, with
the family crest of the lost navigator;
two silver and one gold watch case;
two needles, with thread in them, but
tons and other small articles, He said
that he had met several parties Of
Esquimaux, from whom these and 9TH
or relics had been obtained. He did
not believe that Sir John Eranklin's
party had been murdered, but was in-
cined TO believe tho story Of the
Esquimaux, which was substantially as
follows: A party of EsquimauX were
off killing seal. They saw forty whitc
men pass by with sledges WhIl they
Cthe Esquimaux) had finished sealing
they followed the tracks Of the sledges
until they came to a low point Of land,
where they found a lot of bodies in a
very wasted condition. Dr. Rae con-
cluded that they must have died in
June, 1850. Sir John left England in
l845, Ho had only three years pro-
visions, which could not be made to
last four years in that climate without
extensive additions. No expedition
had been able to stay four years in so
high latitude without getting the sour

that there was no old man in the parity

asked the Esquimaux why they did not
feed them, but they answered that they

A Happy Home.

The FIRST year of married life is a most
important era in the history of husband
and wife. Generally, as it is spent, so
is almost all subsequent existence The
wife and husband then assimilate their
views and their desires, or else conjure
up their preiudices and animosities for
ever afterWard.
'I have somewhere read, says Rev.
Dr. Wise in his "Bridal Greetings" "of
a bridegroom who gloried in his eccen-
tricities. He requested his bride to ao-
company him into the garden day or
two after the wedding. He then threw a
line over the roof of their cottage. Civ
ing his wife one end of it, he retreated
to the other side and exclaimed:
"Pull the linel"
81 can't, she replied.
"Pull with all your night shouted
the whimsical husband.
But in vain were all the efforts of the
bride to pull over the line, SO long as
the husband held on to the opposite end,
But when he came round, and both pull
ed at one end, it came over with great
case.
"There," said he, as the line fell from
the roof, "you see how hard and iuef-
fectual was our labor when we pulled in
opposition to each other; but how easy
and pleasant it is when we both pull to.

life. five act together, twill be pleas.
ant to live. Let us, therefore, always
pull together"
In this illustration, bomely as it may
be, there is sound philosophy. Hus
band and wife must mutually bear anC
concede, if they wish to make home q
retreat of joy and bliss. One alone can
not make home happy. There must bt
union of action, sweetness of spirit, anC
great forbearance and love in both hus
band and wife, to secure the great enc
of happiness in the domestic circle.

To Boys.

Boys, read this little extract from the

COOP MANNERS IN BOYs.-You can
scarcely give a boy a worse name than
to say he is i'll bred saucy and impu-
dent. Every body avoids such boys as
much as possible. Sensible people are
annoyed by his importinencc, and give
him "wide berth" They regard them
very much as they do the musketo-a
pert and ill-mannered intruder, whose
littleness alone saves him from the doom
his attack deserves. Some boys have
their manners so plainly marked upon
their faces that you can see them. The
bold stare, the impUdent leer, and the
brazen air Of assurance tells us their
character very plainly, before they have
opened their mouths.
If full bloomed impudcnce is so un.
lovely a flower, it is certainly worth
your while to avoid with care whatever
would tend to its growth The habit
Hike others, is formed slowly and by de.
grees. 1t usually commences with rude.
ness and inciviity toward parents.-
The boy begins perhaps, by replying
with blunt yes or no to the questions
of his parents; or by contradicting them
or "answering back, " when rebuked fol
fault. He soon grows disrospoctfu
toward his teacher, and finally comes
to treat his elders generally as though
they were no older, wiser or better thar
himself. You see, therefore, the i'm
portance of nipping this fault in tn,
bud.
The rule Of good manners may b
thus stated: To your elders and supe
riors be respectful. To your equals b.
civil. To all be courteous.

when you should take your hat and be

When you are asked to take a drink.
When you find you are courting a

When you find yourself in doubtful
company.
When you discover that your expen-

When you think that you are a great

When you don't perform your duty,

oountry Paperg---Thoir Use.

Country papers are of much more use
than the people imagine.
They aid in directing public atton-
ton to matters in which every citizen
of the county is more or less interested.
They contribute in variety Of ways,
to the formation of public opinion on
subjects of public interest.
They aid in giving character and i'm
portance to the county in which they
are published.
They stimulated taste for reading, and
disseminate, in the course Of one year,
vast amount of useful information,
which would not reach portion of their
readers through any other channel.
They are Of essential use in a family
in fostering taste for reading among
children. Country papers enjoy an ad
vantage in this respect over papers pub
lished at a distance; because many Of
their items are Of local interest, which
attracts a child's attention. The adver-
tising columns of these papers are par
tcularly attractive to this class Ofreaders.
Country papers, by the local inlorma-
ton they contain, are often the means
of drawing new and valuable citizens to
the county in which they are published.
To the objection VIC do not unfro.
quently hear urged against the support
of country papers that the price of them
is too high, it may be replied, that the
price at which the paper can be afford.
ed depends mainly upon the number
of subscribers. The chief expense in
the publication of paper, consists in
setting up the matter; one thousand ol
even ten thousand copies can be fur
nished at a very small addition to the
cost over and above that of composition
