Things We Like TO Sec.

We like to see young ladies who are
bitter enemies kiss each other very al
fectionately when they meet!- re-
minds us of man named Judas, VINO
lived several years ago! We like to
see q fashionably dressed lady prone
nading the streets wearing blue-slik
dress, trailing yard behind her In the
mud-it cleans the streets SO nicelyiC
We like to see young man very po-
lite and obliging to other young ladies,
which is scarcely civil to his sisters at
home-it proves that the lords of crea-
ton are void of deception. We like to
see little boys come to church in the
evening. and amuse themselves by
sticking pins in their sleepy neighbors
it shows that they are not " burying
their talents in the earth J! We like
to see q man invariably throw his
newsp:rer, boots and hat in the mid
die of the floor, for his tired wife to pick
unit is evidence that he remembers
his promise to "cherish her!" We
like to see the choir spend the time
during divine service in whispering and
telling stories-it helps us to appreciate
the sermon, and cOnvinces us that they
are capable of singing with the spirit
and the understanding also" We like
to see young ladies keep their jaws in
constant motion endeavoring to masti-
cate a huge hall of chewing-gum-it
looks so lady-like! We like to see a
man sporting fast horses, while he owes
the printer, and gives nothing to the
minister-it looks honorable! There
are many other things which we would
like to see, but we forbear.-Ifudson

able promissOry note under these stat
utes, when given for the benefit of her
separate estate, is valid, but it must be
for this purpose; and for no other. 1t
should contain q clause showing her
intention to bind her separate estate,
similar to the following: " And here
by pledge my sole and separate estate
for the payment hereof.n But this
clause will be of no avail unless the
debt for which the note is given was
actually contracted for, orin connection
with, her separate estate. Such q note
in New York, at least, will not be va

4 These are a few of the principles of
law concerning negotiable promissOry-
notes which every man should know,
and the knowledge of which will often
be of use to men of every class. We
have spoken of bogus patent-rights and
bogus patent-right men. We are fully
aware that there are honest and relia-
BILE dealers in patent-rights, and they
will know, and those who deal with
them will know, that it is not to them
we refer. 1t is to the class of swindlers
who have infested every county in this
State, as the diminished pockets of
many farmer will attest. In their
operations, money has not been their
object, but the negotiable promissory-
notes of responsible men have been.

UOT TO Avoid q Bad Husband.

1. Never marry for wealth. A wo-
mans life consisteth not in the things
she possesseth.
2. Never marry n fop, who struts
about, dandy-like, i'm his gloves and
rustles, with a silver-headed cane, and
rings on his fingers. Beware! there is
a trap.
8. Never marry q niggardly, close
listed, mean, sordid wretch, who saves
every penny, or spends it grudglngly.
Take care, lest he stint you to death.
4. Never marry stranger. whose
character is not known or tested. Some
females jump into the fire with their
eyes wide open.
S. Never marry a NOPE or drone,
who draws and drags through life, one
foot after another, and lets things take
their own course.
6. Never marry n man who treats
his mother or sister unkindly or indif-
fcrentIy. Such treatment is a sure in
dication of o mean and wicked man.
Z. Never, on any account, marry a
gambler, q prOfane person, or one VINO
in the least speaks lightly of God or
religion. Such man can never make
n good husband.
s. Never marry a sloven, a man who
is negligent of his person or his dress,
and is filthy i'm his habits. The exter-
nal appearance is an index to the
heart. -
8. Shm the rake, as snake, viper,
and very demon.
10. Finally, never marry man who
is addicted to the use of ardent spirits.
Depend upon it, you are better off alone
than you would be tied to a man whose
vitals are being gnawed out 10y alcohol.

Why do not the members OF our pro-
fession set good example by clothing
themselves i'm a rational manner dur

from Franklin a century ago that the
solar heat is absorbed with greater or
less facility, according to the color OF
the object exposed to the rays. Every
one remembers how he put pieces of
cloth, similar i'm texture and size, but
different i'm color, upon fresh fallen
snow in the sunlight, and how he
found the snow melted under the
pieces of cloth quickest when the cloth
was black, less quickly under the blue,
green, purple, red, yellow, i'm the order
enumerated, and very slowly indeed
under the white. Each days expert
ence shows us that we do not need to

as little as possible. ThS material
should he porous-should imprison-
that is, large quantities of air i'm its
texture, and serve, therefore, as a very
bad conductor of heat, while, at the
same time facilitating evaporation OF
the moisture from the surface OF the
body. These qualities are possessed IN
the highest degree by white flannel,
and there is no reason that We can
find why this material should not bs
adopted generally in place of the afro
cious costume which fashion infiicts
upon suffering mankind.-Ihe Lancet

Cheap Living In Europe.

Of the travelled routes everybody
knows that one may live better and
cheaper than in the United States, but
i'm towns, large in population or fre-
auented by strangers, almost every
thing depends upon adaptation to the
customs of the people. Against these

toms (n,ores, in Latin) Of q people re-
presept its virtue, and they are sancti-
fed by the traditions from the distant
past. In London, for example, life in
the same style-clOthing, furniture,
rents, food, servants, horses, and amuse-
ments being as near alike as the habits
of the two countries will permit-costs
less than in New York or Philadelphia,
Washington or Boston, provided the
customs OF those with whom you have
to do are respected. The service rem
dered is the very best, the housewifery
neat, attendance constant, cookery per-
feet, address respectful, and hours of
work punctual. But your servants
must have their table supplied sepa-

Anecdotes OF Dogs.

A sagacious dog at HOlyoke went
every morning to market tor his mas
ter. On his way home u crowd of hum
CRY dogs would come snuffing about
him, intent upon getting a taste of his
delicious steaks and marrowy joints,
and snarl ard bite at him because he
would not yield to their demands. He
could not fight them all, thus encum-
bered, and would not put down his
meat lest it should be stolen.
After being thus harnessed for many
days, he made up his mind to put a
stop to such annoyances, for, to. the
great amusement of n crowd Of men
and boys, he sat down his basket i'm a
safe place, and punished his tormenfors
so effectually that not dog i'm town
dared to mOlest him again.
Another dog in the same town seems
to have had less regard for his masters
rights. He used to ride out with him,
sitting bolt upright upon the seat by
his side, and when desired would hold
the horse as well as his master. One
day Mr.. Lucas dropped his whip by
accident, and upon discovering his loss,
put the reins, as usual, into Ponto's
teeth, and ran back to recover IL. Just
as he stopped to pick it up, Ponto, in q
spirit of mischief, started the horse into.
a run. Mr.. Lucas called tout "whoa.
whoa~ and ran with all speed to over
take them; but Ponto cheered on his
steed by barking go ahead" and soon
left his master far behind to walk home
at his leisure. 1t amused Mr.. Lucas,
i'm the hight of his vexation, to see how
perfectly delighted the dog was with
the success Of the trick he was playing
upon him. .t.. =

The Key to the Heart.

When Luther was striving to bring
about the great reformation, he did not
neglect a humble means Of impressing
the masses, which have proved NIGH
ty power in all ages and nations. He
sent forth among them wherever he
could, his soul-stirring hymns and cho-
rails, and so great was their influence,
that Cardinal Cajetan said, "By his
songs he has conquered u.s." They
stirred to its depths the popular heart,
and made Rome tremble.
At Lubbock, when the struggle was at
its height, the mass had been celebrat-
ed at st. Mary's Cathedral and at its
close two boys, who had been previ-
Ously instructed, began one of Luther's
chorals. The whole congregation took
it up with great enthusiasm, and the
next day the Catholic clergy had to
leave the city, and Lubbock stood re-
deemed to Professionalism.
The power of song is no less mighty
now than it was then. 1t is the gol-
den key that can open even adaman-
tine hearts.
A hardened Scottish soldier lay on
his hospital bed, and refused stubborn
q
sci from the good minister who visited
him. "He knew how to die without
the aid of priest" he said. The most
:ffectionate entreaty seemed lost upon
him, and he turned his face to the wall,
determined to close the interview.
The minister sat down by his bed
and began to sing hymn well known
In Scotland, "Oh, mother dear, Jeru-
salem, when shall L come to thee?"
In q few moments the man turned
himself upon his pillow, the hard look
all gone, and eyes wet with tears.
"Who taught you that ?r he asked.
My mother" said the minister.
And so did mine," he replied; and
with these memories surging back
Into his soul, he was ready and willing
to listen to words of heavenly counsel
The Jesuits have always made great
use of music in advancing their false
religion, especially among the Indian
tribes of North and South America.
The little children in particular were
trained to chant all the service very
sweetly, and so passionstely fond Of
the music did they become, that they
often ran away from theirparents TO put
themselves under the care of the priest.
May We not receive hint from them
and convey more of our instructions to
the little ones in this pleasing form :
May we not find in music key to the
heart of some incorrigible boy whose
teacher is about to give up in despair?
Let us at least try the power Of song
upon him before we quite give over
all efforts i'm his behalf.-&. S. Times.
