TIE BEST SEWING MAclHNE.-Punch contains the following admirable description of old d-fasllioncd sewing machine that every bachelor should possess : The very best sewing machine man can have is a good wife, II is one that requires but a kind word to put in motion, and rarely gets ont of repair makes but little noise, is seI
 dom the cause of dust, and, once in motion, will go on unir terruptcdly for hours without the slightest trimming or the smallest personal supervision being necessary. It will make 'ker chiefs, cut out pinafores and manufacture childrens' frocks out of any old thing you may give it and this it will do behind your back just as well as before your face. In fact, you may leave your house for days, and it will, go on working just the same. If it does get out of order little, from being ovcrworked, it mcnds itself by being left alone for short time, after which it returns to it's sewing with greater vigor than ever. Of course sewing machines vary great deal. Some are much quicker han others. It depends great deal upon the particular pattern you select. If you | are fortunate ill picking out the choicest pat | tern of wife-one, for instance, that sings
 whilst working, aid seems to be never so hap py as when her husbands linen is in hand the sewing machine may be pronounced perfect of it's kind so much so, that there is no make shift in the world that can replace it, either for love or money. In short, no gentloman's es- tablishment is complete without one Of these sewing machines in the house.

Mrs. William B. Astor is very nice, kind hearted woman, and has fellow-feeling ill her bosom for suffering humanity, notwith- standing the fact that her husband is the rich est man in America. The Red Hook (Dutch- ess Co.,. Journal mentions her Iiberality as tol- lows:
 The knd-heartedness and active benevo- lence of this lady are not perhaps generally understood, particularly by those who know her only as the wife of a man of immense wealth. It is rarely the case that lady sur rounded by all the eler:ents of ease and af auence can be found dcvoting so much time and resources in relieving the condition oi those whose lot in life has been less fortunate than that of others We learn that instead of spending the whole of her large annuity in personal and selfish qualification, large amount of it is expended in real charities and active practical benevolence and that too without that ostentatious display which too often char acterizes the benefactions of the wealthy.

CULTIVATION OF FLowERs.-I propose-with your permission, to say something to the girls young ladies intended to have said-welI, to the young ladies, then, if that suits them any better and the principal burden of the letter will be the Cultivation of FIowers-not your indoors, window sill, puny things, but the real garden article-the beautiful, fragrant flowers that live and thrive in the open air, where Gods pure sunlight kisses their fair pe- tals, and the dews of heaven moisten them GirIs--permit me to call you girls do, it falls so much more sweetly upon my-girls, you are sadly remiss in your duty in negectng, or re- fusing to employ your delicate hands in this, the most appropriate and beautiful of all em- ployments--rearng the tender plant, nursing the opening buds, turning and directing the clambcring vine, and beautifying your gardens and homes. How can your leisure hours be more proGtably or delightfully."- spent than among the sweet flowers and then, how such work elevates the soul, reines the nature, and soothes the feelings while engaged in it The flowers were made for us girls they are pecu- iarly our companions it is for us, and not for the stern nature and rough hands of man, to cultivate them Then let us carry out the great design as it is meet for us to do, and the reward will certainly be ours. Almost every hour of the day see many of my sex promo nading the streets of our town, clothed in gay apparel rowing hither and thther, evidently with no other object ill view than to display their silks, satins, and loves of bonnets," or to have chat with some male or female friend on the corner, and from the bottom of my heart 1 must say am sorry to see it. do not ob- ject to outdoor exercise on the contrary, l consider it highly conducive to health and hap pness, but, fer pity's sake, take that exercise in a rational way--n way that shall produce the result designed. Take your garden hoe CT pruning knife, rise with the lark and betake yourselves to your flower beds don't be afraid of little dirt, if it coes happen to lodge upon the tips of your delicate fingers, but delve iuto tho work Justify, and my word for it, good breakfast of bacon and eggs will be rclished well by you. Repeat the exercise at intervals during the day until near evening give your flowers a full hour of your care and nursing, and then for & tramp with your sweethearts, if you desire to. This, girls, is what mean by the cultivation of flowers this briefly, is my no- ion of your duty in this respect, and as the words are spoken in kindness, I hope they will be as kindly received by you.

THE NEW YORK INEBRIArE ASYLUM Dis appointed in not obtaining an appropriation from tie legislature to assist in founding the Inebriate Asylum, the trustees of this institu- tion have issued an appeal to the Churches of the United States, and the American public, for assistance. In support of this appeal some startling facts are given. More than twenty eight hundred applications have already been made for admission to the institution. Among the applicants are twenty eight elergymen, thirty-six physicians, forty-two lawyers, three judges, twelve editors, four army and three na- val officers, one hundred and scventy-nine lner- chants, ffty-fve farmers, five hundred and if teen mechanics, and four hundred and ten wo- men, who are from the high walks of life. Of the vocation of the remaining twelve hundred applicants, the trustees have no knowledge Such facts as these show the great importance of the proposed asylum, and must secure tine pecunary assistance required to establish it.. The trustees say that they have knowledge of more than one hundred cases of inebriety effected ill asylums.

You think you are safe. l know you are not safe, if you drink at all and when you get offended with the good friends who warn you of your danger, know you are q fool. l know that the grave swallows daily, by scores, drunkards, every one of whom thought he was safe while he was forming the appetite. But this is old talk. A young man in this age who forms the habit of drink ing, or puts himself in danger of forming the 1 habit, is usually so weak that it doesn't pay to save him.
 pass by profanity. That is too offensive | and vulgar a hobit for any man who reads a respectable book to indulge in. l pass by | this, I say tc come to hahit more destruc- tive than any have contemplated.
 Young man you who are so modest in the presence of women-so polite and amiable you who are invited into families where there are pure and virtuous girls you who go to church and seem to be such a pattern young man you who very possibly neither smoke, nor chew, nor snuff, nor swear, nor druk- you have one habit ten times worse than all these put together-a habit that makes you @ whited sepulchre fair without but within full of dead mems bones and all unceanliness. You have habit of impure thought, that poisons the very springs of your life. It may lead you into lawless indulgences, or it may not. So far as your character is concerned, it makes but little difference. A young man who cherishes impure impure images, and in dulges in impure conversation with his asso- ciates, is poisoned. There is rottenness in him. He is not to be trusted Hundreds of thousands of men are living ill unhappiness and degradation to-day who owe their unhap- py lives to an early habit of impure thought. To young man who has become poisoned in this way, women all appear to be vicious or weak and when a young man loses his re- spect for the sex made sacred by the relation of mother and sister, he stands upon the crum- bling edge of ruin. His sensbiiities are kill ed, and his moral nature beyond the reach of regeneration. l believe it to be true that a man who has lost his belief in women, has, as general thing, lost his faith in God
 The only proper way to treat such a habit as this is to fly from it--expel it-fght it to death. Impure thought is u moral drug quite as seductive and poisonous to the soul as to- bacco is to the body. It perverts the tone of every fibre of the soul. One should have more respect for his body than to make it the abode of toads and lizards and unclean rep tiles of all sorts. The whole matter resolves itself into this A young man is not fit for life until he is clean-clean and healthy, body and sou with no tobacco in his mouth, no li- quor in his stomach no oath on his tongue, no snuff in his nose, and no thought in his heart which if exposed would send him sneaking in- to darkness from the presence of good women. know 8 man who believes that the regeae- ration of the world is to be brought about by Q change of diet If he will add the policy of utter cleanliness to his SC heme l will agree not to quarrel with him.

 A CURE FOR SHEEP KILLING Docs.-A Southern writer gives the following:
 Select the Stoutcst and most vicious old ram in your flock, and shear him close then get small Manila rope, thirty-fiye feet long, and tie one end around the rams neck. and the other around the dogs, and turn them into q ten-acre field, cleared of stumps, brush. pnd cornstalks, and let them remain two hours. and if that ram don't knock all the sheep-klup propensitics of that dog, why then, as Sam stonestreet would say, I hope I may never sec ctlnkapin time again. That dog will never have the courage to look sheep in the face again."
 A Coop OUT-DooR WH1rEwAsH.-Take unslaked lime and put it into a bucket with about as much water as will be required in use. Then throw in about half pound of talow for peck of lime. As the lime shakes, the heat will melt the talow, when it is to be thoroughly stirred in-the stirring to be re- peated frequently during use if grease rises to the surface No definite experiments have been been made to determine the exact weiyht Of talow for given weight of lime. Impure or rancid lard, oil, or other grease, may be used instead of tallow.
 The philosophy of the process is that the oily material incorporated into the whitewash Will prevent its being dissolved by rains.
 PIcKLED EGcs.-At the season of the year | when eggs are plentiful, boil some four or six dozen in capacious saucepan, until they have become quite hard. Then, after carefully re- moving the shells, lay them in large-lnouthed jars, and pour over them scaldng vinegar. well seasoned with whole pepper, alspice, few races of ginger, and few cloves of garlic. When cold, bung down closely. and in month they are fit for use. Where eggs are plent- ful, the above pickle is by no means expensive.
