The Men 10 Marry.

Punch gives some good advice to
women in looking for suitable hus-
bands. Among other things he says:
"The man who. don't take tea, ill
treats the cal, takes snuff, and stands
With his back to the fire, is a brute,
whom L would not advise youlto mar
ry on any consideration, either for
love, or money, but decidedly not for
love. But the man who, when tea is
over, is discovered to have had none,
is very sure to make the best husband.
Patience like his deserves to be re-
warded with the best of wives and the
best of mothers7in-law. My dears,
when you meet with such man, do
your best to marry him. In the Sc
verest winter no would not mind going
to bed first"

BREACH OF PRoMIsE.-Bcfore n
court of common pleas, a case of breach
of promise was recently under consid-
Grafton. The breach between the
parties was apparent enough, but as to
the promise there existed slight shade
of doubt, until the plaintiff set the
matter right as follows: Question by
defendants counsel: "Did my client
enter into a positive agreement to
marry you"" Answer: "Not exactly,
but he courted me a good deal, and he
telled my sister Jane that he intended
to marry in our family"

The Home Circle.
What Young People Should
Know

AnOW.
The best inheritance which parents
can give their children is the ability
to help and take care of themselves.
This is better than q hundred thousand
dollars each. In any trouble or diff
Guilty, they have two excellent servants
in the shape Of two hands. Those
who can do nothing and have to be
waited on, are helpless and easily dis
heartened in the misfortunes of life.
Those who are active and hardy meet
troubles with a cheerful face and easily
surmount them. Let young people,
therefore, learn to do as many things
as possible. Every boy should know
how, sooner, or later
l. To dress himself, black his boots,
cut his brothers hair, wind upa watch,
sew on button, make up bed and
keep the clothes in order.
/ 2. To harness a horse, grease wag-
on, and harness team.
3. To carve and wait on a table.
4. To milk the COWS, shear, and
dress veal or mutton.
5. To reckon money and keep ac-
counts correctly, and according to good
bookkeeping rules.
6, To write neat and appropriate,
briefly phrased business letter, in good
hand, fold and subscribe it properly,
and write contracts.
Z. To put up package, build up a
fire, mend broken tools, whitewash a
walEand regulate'a a clock. '..f
NnEvery girl should know how :
|. To sew and knit.
2. To mend clothes neatly.
3. To make beds. - - a-.-
A.. To wash the dishes and sweep
the carpets. r- .t ''i ...
5. To make good bread and per-
form all plain cooking.
9. To keep her rooms, drawers and
closets in order. .-.-
Z. TO work sewing machine.
8. To make good butter and cheese.
8. To make a dress and children's
clothing.
10, To keep accounts and calculate
interest.
II. To write, fold and superscribe let
ters properly. ..'
~. To nurse the sick efficiently, and
not faint at the sight of drop of
blood.
13. To be ready to render efficient
aid and comfort to those in trouble, in
an unostentatious way.
IA. To receive and entertain visitors,
in the absence or sickness of her
mother.
A young lady who can do all these
things well, and who is always ready
to render aid to the afflicted and miti-
gate the perplexities of those around
her, will bring more comfort to others
and happiness to herself, and be more
esteemed, than if she only knew how
to dance, simper, sing, and play on
the piano.

a. b. c. Darian seems to have been
anancient term for pedagogue. Wood,
in his Athen@ OXoniensis, speaking of
Thomas Farnabie, says:-"When he
landed in Cornwall, his distresses made
him stoop so low, as to be an A. b. C.
darian, and several were taught their
horn books by him." BY assuming
his title, its wearer certainly proves
himself to be man of letters.
