JOHN WESLEY AM Ills WIFE.-Mr. Geo.
Dawson, in a late lecture on the great foun-
der of Methodism. gave the following de-
tails When Wesley settled he said cit
would be more useful to marry" There is
nothing like giving that sort of pretty facing
to your wishes. l have known q friend,
when he was going to move from a little
living to a larger one, say that it was be-
cause he was going to ga larger sphere of
usefulness" A certain witty man used to
say that 'whenever a clergyman went from
a little living to a large one, he did SO be-
cause he had got a cali, but that he would
want a ''good loud call to take him from a
large to a little living Wesley married
a widow, who through her jealousy, led
him a life Of wretchedness and misery. At
last his spirit was up, and he wrote her,
"Know me and know yourself. Suspect
me no more provoke me no more; do not
any longer contend for mastery, for power,
money, Or praise ; be content to be a private
insignificant person, known and loved by
God and me- 1t was not likely that a woman
would be pleased at being recommended to
be an insignificant person. After twenty
years of disquietude, she one day left him.
He bore it philosophically. He went even
beyond the took his diary and put the
most pithy entry into it | ever met with in
a diary: ''Non cam relinqui: non dentists
non reuocabo," which may be translated thus:
II did not leave her / did not send her
away; I shan't send for her back" And
so ended the marriage life of John Wesley.

Building CHARAorER.-There is a struc-
ture which every body is building, young
and old, each one for himself. It is called
character. and in every act of life is a stone.
If day by day we be careful to build our lives
with pure, noble, upright deeds, at the end
will stand a fair temple, honored by God
and man. But, as one leak will sink a ship
and one flaw break a chain, so one mean,
dishonorable, untruthful act or word will
forever leave its impress and work its infu-
ence on our characters. Then let the several
deeds unite to form a day, and one by one
the days grow into noble years, and the
years, as they slowly pass, will raise at last
a beautiful edifoe, enduring forever to our
praise.

VALUABLE RECEIpTs.-We take the TO-
having valuable receipts from Arthur's Home
Magazine:
MILK IN WARM WEArHER.-In warm
weather when milk sours soon, put in two
tablespoonfuls of salt tie every four gallons
before straining. 1t will improve the quail
ity and increase the quantity of butter.
To PRESERVE Corn FOR WINTER USE
Pluck the corn when fit for eating, strip
down the husk SO as to remove the silk, and
then replace it pack it away in a barrel,
and pour on a strong pickle, such as used
for meat, with a weight to keep it down.
When taken from the salt, parboil, and then
boil to make it fresh.
To PREVENT A CRUST FORMING ON TEA
KErTLEs.-Keep an oyster she'll in your
teakettle. The crust that forms on copper
kettles, where the timing has melted off, is
injurious to health.
To PREVENT FLIES FROM INJURING PIC
TURE FRAMES, GLASSES, ETc.-Boil three or
four onions in a pint of water then, with a
gilding-brush, go over your glasses and
frames, and the flies will not alight On the
article so washed. This may be used with
out apprehension, as it will not do the least
injury to the frames.
To TAKE INK O0r OF L1NEN.-Dip the
spotted part in pure melted tallow then
wash out the tallow, and the ink will come
out with it.
To REMOVE FRUIr-SrA1Ns FROM CorroN
OR L1NEN.-Pour boiling water over the
stain, and let it soak a few moments.
To CLEAN GoLD.--Wash in warm water,
with ten Or fifteen drops Of sal-volatile.
To TAKE STAINS Our OF S1LKs.-Mix
together, in a phial, two ounces of essence
of lemon, and one ounc of oil Of turpentine.
Grease and other spots in silk are to be
rubbed gently with a linen rag dipped in the
mixture.
To WASH LILAC CoLoEED Dress GooDs.
When the dress is dirty, dissolve ten cents
worth Of sugar of lead in a bucket of water,
and dip in the dress, wetting it thoroughly ;
then dry it, when it is ready to wash, and
can be washed without fear ever after.
To CLEAN BRAss.-Rub it over with a
bit of flannel dipped in sweet oil; then rub
it hard with finely powdered rottenstone,
then with a soft linen cloth, and polish with
Il bit of wash Heather.

DoN'r Do Ir.-No, young man, don't do
it. Don't marry dimples, nor ankles, nor
mouth, nor hair, nor necks, nor chins, nor
teeth, nor Shippers. These bits and scraps
Of %femininlty are very poor things to tie to.
Marry the true thing-look after congenial-
ity. kindred sy%mpathies, disposition, educa-
ton, and if this be joined with social position
or even filthy lucrc, why, don't let them
stand in your way. Get a woman-not one
of those parlor automatons that sits down
just so, thumps on a piano, and dotes on a
whlsker. Living statues are poor things to
call into consultation. The poor little mind
that can scarcely fathom the depth of a dress
trimming can't be helpmate of any account.
Don't throw your time away on such triding
things

o! call not this a vale OF tears,
A world of gloom and sorrow;
One half the grief that DER US comes,
From self we often borrow.
The earth is beautiful and good;
How long will man mistake it2
The folly is within ourselves.
HThe world is what we make it,"
Did we but strive to make the best
OF troubles that befall us,
Instead of meeting cares halfway,
They would not SO appal us.
Earth has a spell for loving hearts;
Why should we seek to break it?
Let's scatter flowers instead of thorns-
"The world is what we make it,"
II truth. and love, and gentle words,
We take the pains to nourish,
The seeds of discomfort will die,
And peace and concord flourish.
Oh! has not each some kindly thought
Then let's at once awake it;
Believing that for good or ill,

lately been thrown..out in regard to the man
u~facture of an artificial article. 1t has here
tofore been resorted to in New Orleans and
a few other Southern cities. The expense
of manufacturing artificial ice, however, is
said to be very great. The first cost, in
Paris, Of a new patent Care machine, of the
description used in New Orleans, would be
$780, 600 in gold. This would prepare but
twelve tons of soft ice a day. Its maximum
of hard ice would be but eight tons. The
buying would prove altogether too expensive
for general use. Those who prepare it in
New Orleans give $40 a ton as the cost, and
sell it at $40.
