JacFE JOINTS Bl-AE SroEY.-A jew
ish missionary was once making inquiries
IN Russia about the method Of catching
bears in that country. His information
told him that to entrap these formidable
and ravenous creatures pit was dug sew
eral feet deep, and after covering it with
turf, leaves, ETC., some food was placed on
the top. The bears, if tempted by the
bait, easily fall into the snare !; ''but," he
added, 3if four or five they happen to get
Ont zgain.'
''dow is that 81 asked the missionary
"They form sort of ladder by step
ping on each others shoulders and thus
make their escape"
.'But how does the bottom one get
out I" asked the missionary.
''Ah, these bears, though not posses
sing a mind and soul such as God has
endowed US with, yet can feel gratitude,
and they won't forget the one who has
been the chief means Of procuring their
liberty. Scampering off they fetch a
branch of tree, which they let down
to their brother, enabling him to speedily
join them in the freedom in which they
rejoice"
Sensible bears, we should say are a
great deal better than some men we hear
about who never help anybody but them
selves.

THE SIsTER.-No household is complete
without a sister. She gives the finish to the
family. A sisters love, sisters influence
what can be more halIowed2 A sisters
watchfui carel can anything be more ten
de: Z A sisters kindness does the world
show US anything more pure? Who would
live without q sister? A sister in fidelity,
in purity. in love, is sort of guardian angel
in a home circle. Her presence condemns
vice. She is the quickener of good resolu-
tions. the sunshine in the pathway of home.
To every brother she is light and life
Her heart is his..treasure house of confidence
In her he finds fast friend, charitable
forgiving, tender, though often severe frieut.
In her he finds a ready companion. Her
sympathy is open as day and sweet as the
fragrance of flowers. We pity the brother
who has no sister, no sisters love. We feel
sorry for the home which is not enlivened
BY sisters presence. A sisters Office is a
noble and gentle one. II is hers to persuade
to virtue, to wisdom's ways; gentle to lend
where duty calls; to guard the citadel of
bone with sleepless vigilance of virtue to
gather graces and strew flowers around the
home altar. To be a sister is to hold sweet
place in the heart of home. 1t is to minister
in holy office. Let every sister meditate
on what she is, and what she ought to be :
on her office. her duty, her pleasure, her life.
1t is hers to be model, and set an example
OF innocence, virtue, cheerfulness, patience,
and forbearance. to be the smile and light of
home and its circle of loved ones.

PAPER HANGINGs.-An exchange says !:
When an amateur attempts this kind of do
mestic decoration, it is desirable that he
should attend to the following instructions :;
otherwise the work. when finished. will be
blemished and stained. First, pumice-stone
the wall to remove all Irregularities of sur
face; then wash over with size, about one
pint of glue to a gallon of water, and when
dry. the wall is ready to receive the paper
The paste should he we'll boiled and then
passed through hair sieve to extract the
Jumps, fruitful source of stains If the
walls are inclined to show dampness add a
little corrosive subimate to the paste to
prevent mildew forming OH the surface of
the paper. The most important matter is
to allow the paper to remain pasted for
about ten minutes before hanging. in order
that it may be we'll stretched before being
placed on the wall. Stout paper hangings,
such as the "focks." etc.. requir a longer
time If these directions are attended to-
the thinnest papers will hang without a

which characterize bad workmanship.

To KEEP TIRES ON WHEELs.-Hear a
practical man on this subject: 81 ironed a
wagon some years ago for my own use; be-
fore putting on the tires filled the feloes
with lnseed oil and the tires have worn
out. and were never loose. My method is
as follows: use a long cast iron heater,
made for the purpose the oil is brought to
a boiling heat, the wheel is placed Oh stick
SO as to hang in the oil, each felloe an houre.
The timber should be dry. as green timber
will not take the oil. Care should be taken
that the oil is not hotter than boiling heat.
or the timber will be burned. Timber filled
with oil is not susceptible to injury by water,
and is rendered much more durable by this
process"

MARRIED MEN.-There is an express
sion in The face of good man who has
good wife, that a bachelors cannot
have. 1t is indescribabIe. He is little
nearer the angels than the prettiest yonng
fellow living. You can see that his broad
breast is pillow for somebody's head,
and that little fingers pull his whiskers
No one mistakes the good married man
1t is the erratic one, who leaves you in
doubt. The good one can protect all the
unprotected females, and make himself
generally agreeable to the ladies, and yet
never leave a doubt OIL any mind that
there is precious little woman at home
worth all the world to him.

FoR WOUNDS UPoN HoRsE.-A gentle
man in this city who is said to know more
about horse than any other man" informs
the Maine Farmer, that for a cut in the hoof
with the cork of shoe, nothing is better
than to pour in melted lard and rosin in
equal parts. having it quite hot when poured
in. For sprain, the best remedy to use is
alcohol and beef's gall, putting one gall into
pint of alcohol. and keeping it for the pur-
pose. Tincture of arnica, universally used
for sPrains. &C., is believed by him to be
weakening to the system (being very pene-
trating in its nature) and is wholly discarded.
