BE GENTLE AT HoME.-There are
few families. we imagine, anywhere, IN
which love is not abused as furnishing the
license for impoliteness. A husbsnd, ia
ther or mother will speak harsh words to
those he loves best. and those who love
him best, simply because the security of
love and family pride keeps him from get
ting his head broken. 1t is a shame that
man will speah moro impoli;ely, at times,
to his wife or sister, than ne would TO an
other female, except low and provicious one
1t is thus that the honest affection of a
mans nature prove to be weaker protec
tion to woman in the family circle than
the restraints of society, and that a wo-
man usually is indebted for the kindest po-
likeness of life to those no. belonging 10 her
own household, Things ought not so to
be. The man who, because it will not be
resented inficts his spleen and bad temper
upon those of his hearth stones. is small
coward and very mean man. Kind words
are circulating mediums between true gen
tlemen and ladies at home. and no polish
exhibited insociety can atone for the harsh
language and disrespectful treatment to.
often INDUCED in between those bound to
gether by Gods own ties of blood, an

How George" became a
TctOtaIlcr.

A short time since young man living
i'll Ogdeusburgh, n. Y, whose name we
will call George, took to drinking rather
more than usual. and some of his friends
sndeavored to cure him. Oae day when
he Was in rather loose condition, they got
him into room AMI commenced talking
about 'deirium tremens, directing all
their remarks to hin, and telling him
what fearful objects, such as snakes and
rats, were always seen by the victims Of
this terrible disease. One Of the num-
ber stepped out of the room. and from a
trap that was at hand let large rat into
the room.
why, didn't you see that cursed big
rat?' said The victim, pointing to the ami
NAL.
They all saw it, but ali replied that they
did not see it, and that there was no rat
But there is! said George, as another
chair went to pieces in an Intellectual at
tempt to crush the obnoxious vermin.
At this moment they seized him, and
after terrible scuff1e threw him down on
the floor. and with terror in their faces,
screamed:
Charley, run for DOCTOR
Charley started for the door, when
George desired TO be inform I'd what the
d was up
'Up!' said they, why you've got the
delirium tremens!'
Charley opened the door TO so out, when
George raised himself on his elbow and
said: Charley. where are you goingg'
Going for doctor!' For what?' en-
quired George.
For whai?' repeated Charley, why yoa
have the delirium tremens!'
The delirium tremens, have ~ repeat
ed George. How do you know Eve got
the delirium trsmens?'
Easy enough says Charley; you've
commenced seeing rats
Seeing rats!' said George, in a sort of
musing way; seeing rats; think you must
be mistaken, Charley
'Mistaken?'
Yes. mistaken rejoined George. Il
amt the mani haven't seen no rat!
The boys let George up after that. and
from that day to this he has not touched
glass Of liquor. and has seen no rats
nor the first rat.--BostOn Courier.

Britannia should be first rubbed gently
with wooden cloth and sweet oil, then
washed in warm suds, and rubbed with
soft leather and whiting. Thus treated, it
will retain its beauty to the last.
New iron should be gradually heated
al. first; after it has become Injured to the
heat, it is not likely to crack.
1t is good plan to put new earihen-
ware into cold water. and let il heat gradu-
ally until it boils--then cool again. Brown
earIhenware. particularly, may be treated
in this way. A handful Of rye or wheat
bran throwa in while is is boiling. will pre-
serve the glazing so that it will not be
destroyed by acid or salt.
Clean brass kettle just before using it
for cooking. with little salt ard vinegar.
The oftener carpets are shaken the long
er they will wear; the dirt that collects un-
der them gliuds out the threads.
If you wish to preserve fine teeth, al
ways clean them thoroughly after you
have eaten your last meal at night.
Woolens should be washed in very hot
suds, and rinsed. Luke warm water will
shrink them.
Do not wrap knives and forks in WOOL
ems. Wrap them in good strong paper
Steel is injured by lying in woolens.
Suet keeps good all the year around
when it is chopped and packed down in
stone jars and covered with molasses.
Barley is the best for beds; dry corn
husks split into shreds are better than
straw.
When molasses is used for cooking iG is
a prCdigious improvement to boil it before
using it. 1t takes out the unpleasant raw
taste, and makes it almost as pleasant as
sugar.
Never allow ashes to be taken up in
wood. or to be put into wood.
Always have your matches and lamp
ready in case of sudden alarm.
Have your important papers all togeth-
er. where you can lay your haud on them
at once in case of fire.

now exists, to attract deer and cattle
There was spring which rose in this

Love. Death. and Suicide.

A Havana letter says: Sometime ago, a
young Cuban of this city went to New York
where he gave himself up to the enjoyment
of life In the course of his peregrina-
lions he met a handsome young girl,
whose name was Kate Joy. 1t was not
long before he made love to her, and she
Ieceiprocated. Rumor says that their re
lations were more intimate than good NOR,
ais would permit; but, on her part at least
1t appeared that they were all in good faith
and preditated upon an intended partner
ship for life--lor better or for worce. Alas,
for poor Kate! 1t has been all worse and
no better for her, and her Joy, which was
only in name, departed forever For a
while they corresponded faithfully, and
every steamer carried the most ardent
amatory epistles to enc or the other of tue
lovers. AT last 70 more letters came from
here. Poor Kate sorrowed and sorrwed
and wrote, and welted, and watched in vain.
There WAS no letter. no msssage-notLing
from him her heart adored. So = few
weeks ago she resolved to come to Ha,
vana herself, and see what had befaen
her lord. When she arrived here she
saught out his family; but, inquiring with
trembling anxiety for him, found that he
had been dead for some months, and was
then quietly asleep in the cemetery. The
blow broke her heart, and she determined
to leave this world to join her betrothed in
another. So she took dose of opium. and
was discovered one morning dead in her
bed. A dagger, a box Of opium, several
miniatures. and bundle of love letters
were found among her effects, which have
been taken charge of by the authorities
