How TO UNHITCu A TEAM--Ihcra is
alwcys q right waw 10 do every thing,
and the right way to uuhitch y team is
that which is the quickest and safest.
We have often noticed farm boys, and
not only farm boys but mcr, discon-
meet 4 team from wagon in very
unsafe manner; something rs follows /:
The driver springs from the wagon,
goes to the sides Of the horses, puts up
the lines, unbuckles them at the bits.
lets down The neck,yoko unhitches the
tugs and leads the horses away discon-
nectcd.
Now this mode is very common, and
very risky. Let us notice why. In the
first place, as soon rs the lines arc PIT
up you have lost your meanes Of con.
troll, as soon as the pole is down your
horses are in peril. Surprising they
should take fright, which is common TO
the most quiet animals, the result Of Il
team running with only the tugs hitched
can be imagined. We have cases in
mind where horses have sped away with
maddcned fury in exactly this condt-
ton. The pole plowing the ground,
and at every plunge of the frenzicd an,
imals, the wagon striking on their heels.
frightening them to desperation. Now
the right way, or a good way at least,
is to keep the lines in hand or where
they can be reached until the tugs are
all unhilched. then your team is !eee
from the wagon unless stationary
k-yoke is used; next so directly in
front Of the horses and let down the
neck yoke; and after this sep;rate. them
rs convenient.

the expression ofcanton, to mind your

chalk on the wall the number Of Pint5

visitors TO the ale houses and to show
the number Of pints or quarts in arrears

debtor would doubtless exclaih to the

UNHAPPINEss IN MARRIED LIFE.-We clip
the subjoined few, but highly sensible re-
marks, from the columns of Savannah
contemporary:
''The last number of the New York Ledger.
has an editorial article on this point. We
quote paragraph, which the unhappy can
accept or reject, according to their pleasure:
1T is almost incredible from what vari-
ETY. of circumstances marriages may prove
unhappy; but it is found, in by far the ma
joTity of cases, that the husband is somehow
or other the cause Of the evil Domestic
felicity is seldom marred by the woman; it
is her empire, and she is no more likely to
destroy'it than the bird is to pull her own
nest to pieces. She stands by home as a
principle, and it is her nature to seek to
render it ms agreeable as possible to her
husband. She has also more intense sense
than man of the decencies of life-is more
anxious to have all duties properly observed
to have a creditable appearance before
neighbors- in short. as she says, to have
everything right. Men-even sensible, we'll
educated men-are often rebels .yainst
many OF the proprieties. but women very
rarely"
