Counsel to P People going TO Move,
In tho first place, don, I move !

that IS moved out of the frying pan into
the fre-col TO mind all the allegories,
ancient and modern, respecting the folly
of change-see il the leally roof can't be
mended - consider whether the range
bokes so very badly-reconcile yourself TO
narrow kitchens and defective water pipes
be at peace with the world, ard your
house into the bargain, and don't move.
But if this advice oomot oftor tho bill
has been put up and the no Use let, and
another one tax en-, the next best thing is
to arrange matters as philosophically a
possible, and the following scraps of
counsel may DO adYantageously adhered
to.
Don't keep your house in con fusion a
month before the evenlful Hegira--a
week is quite long enough to make chaos
OF it.
Don't undertake to "cIsOr up" things
generally. 1t is not economy to bargain
away your husbands best coat to rag
man, .mistaking it for his old moth eat u
toga-neither is it wisd Jm to burn all the
receipts and family papers, along with
old letters and newspapers, "just to get
them out Of the way !"
Don't think it necessary to feed the
household on cold beans and lukewarm
tea, or to quarter them on floor beds with
carpet bags for their pillows, because
yoL happen to he getting ready to move.
If your husband is "hanoy man send
him about his business as early in the
morning as possible, On moving day.
Handy men" arc nuiSances at REy pc.
riod, but at such time they are an aggra-
yation beyond the power of words to dess
cribe.
Keep your wits ABOUT you, and when
your courage begins to fail, just bolster it
up with the comfortable conviction that
what woman cant 60, is net vs. orth doing
at all
Don't pack the canary bird and the cat
together and object d cisiyely to the
dressing glasses being steadied with coal
Scuttles or smoothing irons.
] Convince the cart man at once that gOu
are the director of affairs, not he; and
don't let him impose upon you in the
matter of short loads What if You are
only small woman, and he an Irishman
of the amplest pattern. Napoleon was
not a six footer that ever we heard of.
Ifyou hear anything jingle, stop your
ears, and don't look round until you have
counted twenty. lie resigned to whatever
may fall Or be broken,
And remember thatas everything else
comes to an end, So also does moving day
Bay- Ono communion Sunday, an old
Kentucky soldier, who had fought under
General Jackson at New Orleans, and
knew well what manner Of man he had
ieen, attended the Hermitage Church,
and saw the aged warrior llnecl reyerently
before the altar. lie was translixed with
aston,shment. After the service was over,
he was observed to be unusually silent and
thoughtful, and upon being questioned,
related what he bad seen. lie concluded
his narrative thus:
When | saw the man who had fought
armies, parties, cabinets, and had never
fought without conquerng, get down On
his knees in that church, | said to myself:
Well, when General Jackson knoels, |
tell you, boys, think it's about time for
me to knock under"
Four weeks after he joined the church,
and lived and died an exemplary member.
No ESCAPE FROM PUNISHMENT A cor
respondent of the Portland Irg,ts writing
from Wisconsin, at the residence of Gen.
Jones who acted as second in the Cilcy
duel, says, learning was frcm Maine,
the General alluded to the affair, ex
pressed admiration for Mr.. Cilley, and
deeply regretted the unhappy termination
Of the issue. Graves died the victim 10
regrets and the most horrible Of horrors.
Two years he passed in sleepIess nights,
with rooms lighted and with Watching
friends, whom he was unwilling to have
for moment leave his presence. lie
consumed the hours of night in walking to
and fro, in fright 'ul starts, in moans and
groans, and tears, and wild exclamat;ons.
At length, worn out with mental anguish, |
griefunmitigated, and wasting watchful,
ness, the unhappy man expired Thus
had it from the lips ofa clergyman, his
neighbor. and thus was avenged the
names of the murdered Ciley."
