Choosing a Wife.

Perhaps the following good advice,
from an article in the Herald of Health,
may be of service to some young man
who thinks of entering the holy relation
Do not marry one of the delicate, die
away women, who are sure to degenerate
into invalids, and take pride in their
ftebleness; recount their pains, and tell
of the hazards they have run p; sit all day
in easy chairs, and lounge on sofas, and
become at last sort of forlornity; and,
having worn your patience quite out,
will get up an ill,used look, and on the
sly abuse you to their cronies. Heaven
save you froma complaining, forlorn wo-
man
Do not marry woman with thin lips
and a glib tongue. She may be quite
taking in the flush OF youth, piquant and
amusing while all is smooth and prosper
Gus, but woe to you if adversely come
woe to you, if you should thwart her
mood, or presume upon dictation; that
ready tongue of hers and sharp wit will
work you discomfort, for from the first
she had the premonitons of shrew, and
few men in our days have the nerve of
Petruchio to quiet such feminine mani
festations.
| am sure it is not wise to marry q
woman of a different religious faith, or
one far removed from your own social
rank or an ignorant woman that is,
one whose ignorance will annoy you.
Many traits may seem harmless, and
even engaging in youth, which in the
long run will be very rksome if not dis.
tressing.
Beware of those thin-cheeked, blue
veined, narrow-chested girls, so much
admired by sentimental writers, unless
you would transform what ought to be n
CHEEKY household into Hospital. Dis.
ease should never be associated with
marriage; indeed, to person of sound
mind and healthful physique, it is most
repugnant.
Do not marry girl who sits in the
parlor and dresses like q fine lady while
her mother works in the kitchen, for this
implies cold selishness, that may be
anything but favorable to- the peace and
geniality of q household.
a certain roundness of contour;
and selfpoise, devoid of heavi-
ness or sluggishness; an elastic buoyancy,
a bright uppish look, more of pride than
vanity; clear, open eye, and pure,
child-like smile; hands and feet we'll
proportioned, not too small, are outlines
easily Disseminated, and constitute q safe,
reliable character. A cheerful woman,
who can find something bright and beau.
.ifnl everywhere, and who knows how to
levise ways and means to make others
happy and content about her, is jewel
IF inestilnable worth.
Cheerfulness of temper, candor that
rejects every species Of falsehood, and
OWNS to the truth at any peril; tender
less to befdetected by o fondness for and
aithful care Of pets, rather than by out
ward expressions; purity, instinct in
hought and action, intelligence to appre-
late all thatis noble and good, and health,
sound and elastic, are traits to insure du-
y as wife and happiness in household.
A shrew is not known by aAin lips
md glib tongue" but by the way of
isiug them. e

lister stopped .andespressed hissymEathy.
The man ayerred that it. was nothing, he
had merely been up to Oshkosh "having.
"a little fun with the boys" But, said
the minister severely, @what do you
suppose your wife will say when she sees
you in this state?" The man smiled a
sardonic smile, and putting his hand in
his pocket, brought.forth pieceof nose,
section of scalp, with hair attached, and
piece of cheek bitten from his antago--
nist's face, and holding them up to the
minister, said "What do You suppose
his wife will say when she sees him 2"
The minister silently went his way, a sad
der and sager man.

| Loo MUCH PRAISE cannot be bestowed on
any improvement that will lossen the burden Of
House Keepers, and at the same time save in the
expense of living. The demand and general ac-

attest their utility, and are readily brought into

man or Child, in this enlightened country, that
does not admit the Cooking Stove thing indis-
pensable-especallyt the "CHIEF COOK" where
its merits arc known.
You may talk, and laugh, and swear if you will.
But our efforts to relieve poor drddging human

GREEN Cur, Burke CO., Mar. 81, 1858.
Mn. D. L. FULLERLoN,-Dear Sir: I have
your letter asking mo how I like the Clothes
Washer purchased from you. unhesitatngly
reply, that so fur as VIC havo tried the Hydraulic
Clothes Washer, we are we'll pleased. It is no
less labor saving machine than fabric saving
one. We have washed out in thres or four hours
what would have taken US I'LL the week to do by
hand washing, and l nm of opinion that the
Clothes washed by the Machine will last ns long
again as those washed by the old wash board.
The Union Churn, I bought from you, does
finely, and is much thought Of by tho little folks,
who use it willingly.
I can recommend them to any one who think
as We do, that Washing and Churning arO family

Very respectfully, yours,
WARRENToN, GA. Mar. II, 1868.
Mr.. FULLERToa,-.DearS Sir have given tho
Hydraulic Clothes Washer several fair and i'm
partial! trials, and am fully satisfied with the re-
suits. It is all that ie is recommended 10 be as s
Clothes Washer, and would not be without it
for several tunes its cost. I have always looked
upon Washing Machines as humbugs, never hav-
ing seen any but that rubbed or would grind the
Clothes so as to injure them. But this does not,

washing in q few hours. .5a

there too late to be laid in 1866. When the tele-

parties, the ship was ordered from San Francisco
TO New York, and is expected there before long.
