what WfVes Should Know.

"a celebrated writer says that the ladies'
insist that it is highly dsrOgatory from the
diguity of the.sex i the poet should af-
firm shat It lie tbs perfection of the charac-
ter of wife
HTo study household good,
And good works in her husband to promote.n
Now, according to our notion Of "house-
hold good" which does not include one;
idea of drudgery or<servilitY, but which
involves large and comprehensive scheme
Of excellence, we will venture 90 affirm
that, let any woman know what she may,
yet, if she knows not this, she is ignorant
of the most indispensable, the most appro-
pirate, branch of female knowledge
Without it, however, she may inspire sd-
miratiou abroad, she will never excite es.
TEEN nor insure durable affection, at home;
and will bring neither credit nor comfort to
her ill-sIarred partner.
The domestic arrangements OF such a
wogaa as filed the capacious mind of the
poet. resemble, if We may say it without
profansness, those of Providence, whose
under-agsnt she is; her wisdom is seen in
its effects; indeed, it is rather felt than seen;
it is seusibly acknowledged in the peace,
the happiness, the virtue, of component
parts; in the order, the regularity, and beau-
ty of the whole system, of which she is
the moving spring. The perfection of her
character, as the divine poet iutimates,
does not arise from prominent quality, or
q showy talent. or brilliant accomplish
ment; but it is the beautiful computation
and result Of them all. Her exOellencss
consist not 80 much in acts as in habits, in
"Those thousand decencies which daily flow
From all her words and actions"
A description better calculated than any
We have ever met with to convey an idea
Of the purest conduct, resulting from the
best principles; it gives an image Of that
tranquility, smoOthness, and quiet beauty,
which is the very essence Of perfection in
a wife

Is Kissing Immoral2

A Reverend Mr.. Linn has just been
tried at PittsbUrg for alleged immoral con-
duct. The prosecution failed to sustain
the grave charges which we're made against
him. bat they did prove that he was very
fond Of kissing ladies' who we're young end
pretty. There.Was some evidence tsnding
to show that he tore the dress of q young
lady in his efforts to kiss her. Il was not
conclusive, however, as counter testimony
was adduced to show that the fair daDssl
fed faster and further than was necessary,
and that 3 nail vas the csnse of the rent in
her garments. Mr.. Linn was only found
guilty Os being ''ipdisoreet in kissing one
or two young ladiss.''
The decision ia this case has opened up
new field for debate. Is kissing immors

Tha BaptiaEE and PrasbYterian.

house ''night about" both preachers being

Presbyterian, after discourse on infant
bsesism, proceeded to baptiEe sevssal babes.

"Now, sir, I will immerse you"
The latter, amazed, demurred.

Tima fnr H[atrimonv.

Among the ancient Germans, than whom
finer race never existed, it Was death for
any woman to marry before she was TWEEN
ty years old. By the laws of Lycurgus,
the most special attention Was paid to the
physical education, and no delicate or sick
IL women were, on any account allowed to
marry. Dr.. JohnstoBs in his work Of ''E-
economy Of HEALTH" says that matrimony
should not be contracted until the first year
of the fourth septennial on the part of the
lady, nor before the last year Of the same
10 the case of the gentleman. In other
words, the female should be at least TWEEN
tyrone years Of ege, and the male twenty
eight years. The Doctor says there should
be difference of seven yesEs between the
sexes, as whatever period Of life the con-
nectioa is contracted. There Is 3 differ
ence Of seven years. not in the actual duFa-
ton Of life in the two sexes, but in the
stamina Of the constitution, the symmetry
Of the form and linamsnts Of the face. In
respect to early marriage, so far as it con-
Germs the softer sex, fer every year at
which marriage is entered upon before the
age Of tWensy-One, there win be on anav-
sEaga. three years Of premature decay,
more or less apparent Of the corporal fab

Health Of school Children.

The Medical College of Middlesex, Mass
nchusotts, having for n long time consider
ed the influence Of public schools on the
health Of children, authorized the publica-
ton Of the following facts as the opinions
Of its members!
/. No child should be allowed 10 attend
school before the beginning of his sixth
year.
2. The duration or daily attendance
including the time given TO recess and
physical exercises should not exceed four
and a half hours for the primary schools;
five and a half for other schools.
3. There should be no study required
ont Of school-unless at High Schools; and
this should not exceed one hour.
4. ReGess-tim0 should be devoted to
play outside of the school unless
during stormy weather-and as this time
rightiully belongs to the pupils, they should
not be deprived of il except for serious Of
fences; and those who are not deprived of
it should not bo allowed to spend it in
study, and no child should ever be conlin.
ed to the school room during an entire ses-
sion, The minimum of recess-time should
be fifteen minutes each session, and in pri-
mary schools there should be more than
one recess in each session.
8. Physical exercise should be used in
school to prevent nervous and muscular ia,
tiguo and to relieve monOtony, but not M
muscular training. 1t should be practiced
10y both teacheran children in every houl
not broken by recess, and should be timed
by music, In primary schools every hal
hour should be broken by exercise, recess
or singing,
6. Ventilation should be amply pro
yided for by other means than by opel
windows, though these should be used il
addition to special means during recessant
exercise time.
T. Lessons should be be s~crupulously
apportioned 10 the average capacity of the
pupils; and in primary schools tire slat'
should be used more and the books less
and the instruction should be given al
much as possible on the principles of sob

Truth Stranger than Fiction Singular
Incident nj n Funeral.

From the Cincinnati Enquiries, oct. 70.
On last Saturday, in a little country
church near this city, q humble village par
son was preaching the funeral sermon of
an old man, who had lived moro than his
three score and ten, and who had finally
laid down life's burden and Joined his
fathers. While the religious exercises
we're progressing, two young men passed
the door of the church; one, a youth of
% summers, proposed to go in and ''see
whom they were about to plant" Ito use
his own words). They entered, and as
they did so, the little congregation were
about to take n last look at the still pale
face Of the deceased, and the youths joined
the melancholy procession. They paused
a moment at the bier, when the one who
had proposed that they should enter
the church and "see whom they were
about TO plant" bent down over the coffin
and gave signs of the most poignant grief.
He wept bitterly and refused to leave the
coffin. Some one suggested to him to pass
on, when he said, "This is my father-how
came he here2"
The sequel is soon told. At the begin
ming of the war the youth had enlisted in
an Indiana regiment and had remained in
the service till the last battle. lie had
been mustered out, had taken employment
in Maryland, and remained in that state
until a few days since, when he started
home to see his aged parent. In route he
had stopped in the village to visit q com
mde who had gone through the war with
him. The two, in taking n walk, passed
the church in which the funeral service of
John Slayton was proceeding, and by some
strange influence young Slayton had been
led TO enter the church, when the sight Of
his fathers %lifeless form gave him the first
intimation that he was fatherless. The
elder Slayton Ind moved TO Ohio during
the last few years Of his sons absence, aud
had, after n lingering illness, died. Truly,
truth is stranger than fiction.
