Bows, Help your Mothers.

We have seen from two to six great
hearty boys sitting by the kitchen stove,
toas,irg' their feet, and cracking nuts or
Jokes. while their mother, slender wo-

There is much work abou. the house

less difficulty is experienced in making
winter butter yellow, short Of artificial

Expanding the Lungs.

Stop out into tho purest air you can
ind; stand perfectly erect, with the
head and shoulders back, and then fixing
tho lips as thou h you were going to
whistle, draw tho mir, not through the
uostrils, but through the lips, into the
lungs. When tho chest is about full,
raise the arms, keeping them extended,
with the palms Of the hands down.; as
you suck 10 the mir, so us to bring them
over the head just as the lungs are quite
full. Then drop the thumbs inward, and
after gently forcing tho arms backward ,
and tho chest open, reverse the process
BY which you drew your breath, till the
lungs are entirely empty This process
should be repeated three or four times
during the day. 1t is impossible to
describe 10 one who has never ,ried;it the

Unpleasant Remarks.

Never tell anybody an unpaIatable
truth when it can answer no good pur.
pose. This sort Of unnecessary candor
il sometimes prompted by malice, some
times By q mere looseness Of tongue,
like that which Iaso imputes TO Cassie
when asleep. Sydney S,uith says, and
very justly, that friendship is frequently
made an excuse for unpunishable imper-
tincnce by people who pride themselves
on speaking their minds freely. The
truth malicious!y spoken may be libel
lous, and when volunteered in relation
to matters with which the ut,crcr has no
concern, it is often unmannerly. 1t
may be perfectly true, for example. that
Mrs. Blank is old and corpuleut, but
that i, nobody's business but her own,
and the man who reminds her Of the
fact is too candid to be q gentleman.
As surely as pleasant truths kindly
meant and said arc passport to friend
ship and affection, SO surely do bitter
ones provoke the enmity and hatred Of
those to whom they arc addressed. If
you have tasto for sharp repartee re.
strain it. It is better tolose a jest than
= friend-to miss an opportunity Of
saying a "good thing than to make an
enemy. 49,. ....'!
It must be admitted, however, that
the self.lovc Of some individuals is 40
morbidly sensitive as to render them
anything but agreeable companions.
They take offensc, where none is 10.
tended, aud apply remarks Of the most
general character to their own particular
cases with great ingenuity. 10 nine
cases out of len, the abnormal sensitive
pcs, Of such people is occasioucd BY an
inward consciousness they deserve the
rebukes which they enormously suppose
you intend to administer. !; 1t is hard to
say which is the greater nuisaucc-to be
annoyed with the impertineuces Of PEG.
ple who arc insultiuSly candid, or to
have your innocent remarks construed
as insults By persons WHOM you have no
thought Of offending.

TREAT your enemies as though they
would some time or other be your friends.
That man cannot be your friend who
will not allow you to tcach'hinl anything.
No man has a right to do as he plcascs
except he pleascs to do right.
Only those who have done nothing,
fancy they can DO everything.

Testimony OF Three Working Men.
On Monday last boy presented himself at
the counter Of Jay Cooke 4 Co., in Philadel.

in Seven-lhirties He uncovered that amount
Of money from his person in greenbacks and
notes Of Ohio and Indiana banks 1t soon
transpired that he lived in the western part OF
Indiana, and desiring to invest in the Govern.
ment Loan. and thinking, with prudent sim.
plicity, that It would be safest to get his bonds
right from Jay Cookies own hands, he travelled
oil the way TO Philadelphia to make the pur.
chase. While there he received the atten.

pally his neighbos, intrusted to him to invest

thirteen thousand had been dug by these Ger.
mans out Of the soil with hard days. work.

The AntI-Slavery Society.

Slavery being dead and buried, one
would think that this society might as well
disband There is no more use for it thar
for fifth wheel to coach. Even VIM.
Lloyd Garrison deems its occupation
gone, and wishes it to be broken
up. But Wendell Phillips, and some
smaller demagogues Of the same kidney,
are unwilling to give it up so. Wait. say
they, till the constitutional amendment is
passed, although they know full well that
the abolition Of slavery is an accomplished
fact, and is acknowledged to be so BY the
late shareholders themselves. But what ia
to become oe Phillips and bis compeers if
their stalking horse the hobby on which
they have so long caracoled-is taken from

pure and simple. But the raising Of milk

does not meet the views of the North. In
spite of all that Wendell Phillips and his
lecturinS sisters of the same stripe can say
upon the subject, the pale-faced masses re.

blacks and whites with view to the pro-

the former cling to the old vehicle of agita

to agitate. We assure them. howe yer, that

A contemporary has the following:

A beautiful face and figure arc the two
things in woman that first attract the attention
Of man. The second is 6ne taste, both
in dress and habits, and the third is common
sense. What man most dislikes in lady il
untidiness ,slovenlyhab and affrctation. There
is medium between prudery and relaxed
behavior, which man appreciates almost by
instinct. Place man Of genial disposition,
with disengaged heart, in the society Of =
woman of beauty, sense and spirit-not too
much Of the latter-and the chances are of
Immediately falling desperately in love. The
.0or wretch cannot avoid it, and in his frantic
efforts to escape, he falls upon his knees at
her feet. aud avows the might and majesty OF
her beauty. All that you will have to do in
the matter will be to treat the poor fellow as
kindly rs you can, and make no efforts to
please him. Let nature have her own wise
way, and depend upon it, you will be soon
pressed TO the bosom of some generous hearted
fellow.
