A WARNING TO HUsBANDs.-A prosecuted
young wife in Oswego, New York, wanted di-
vorce The legal gentleman to whose consid,
Grafton the grievance was submitted, inquired
the precise grounds on which the motion for
dissolution was to be taken. The injured wife
replied that it was assault" The circumstan-
ces of the brutal affair were that herself and
husband disagreed on the subject of cats. She
had beautiful Maltese kitten, to which the
wretched man exhibited malignant dislike,
and had several times made the pet the object
of his fendish cruelty by pitching it out of
the. window in the middle Of the night.
On the last occasion she endeavored to save
the innocent creature from such abuse, and re-
tanned her hold on one end of the kitten while
her husband had grasped the other half to
throw it out of the chamber window. She con-
quered in the effort, but the recol of the kitten,
on being partially released in the struggle, re-
suited in several severe scratches across the
countenance of its mistress, for which the bru-
tai husband was of course responsible. The
legal adviser was doubtful whether case of
deliberate assault could be made out on these
circumstances; "but," says the Oswego Com
merc;al, "there was certainly evidence of attro-
cious cunning on the part of the husband in
relinquishing his end of the cat without warn
ing"

ADvERT1s1NG.-The case of Mr.. E. G. Al
len, of Augusta, Maine, is another attractive
illustration of the advantages of advertising.
Five years ago, when he was not twenty-five
years of age, his worldly wealth amounted to
less than ten dollars, but his knowledge of the
value of printers ink was worth fortune.
Since then, by judicious advertising, sometimes
paying one New York advertising agency as
much as $1,000 month, he has grown rich
The Hartford Post says the letters received by
him have exceeded the entire mail of all the
other citizens of Augusta combined, his bill
for postage stamps averaging more than 500
daily. So great an influx of mail matter has
caused Augusta to be rated as frst-class office,
and the happy postmaster is delighted with an
increased salary as in such cases is provided by
law. The Offices which were ample for the
State printing and the wants of those most
largely circulating newspapers in the State
have been compelled to add new presses and
material to fill his orders for circulars. Acorps
of forty assistants is constantly employed. All
this grand result has been accomplished by
newspaper advertising.

THE LATE BISHOP SoULE-In the address
of the Bishops, read by DR.. Wightman, of
South Carolina, before the Methodist General
Conference at Memphis, were the following re-
marks upon the life and character of the late
Bishop Soule:
With profound emotion we announce to you
that since your last session our venerable and
beloved colleague, Joshua Soule, has departed
this life. His death occurred in Nashville
Tenn, March 6, 1867, in the S7th year of his
life and the 10th year of his itinerant minis
try. In many respects Bishop Soule was re-
markable man. At the time of his death he
was, probably, the oldest travelling preacher
in America, if not in the world and was thus
the connecting link between the Methodism of
Wesley and Asbury and that of the present
day. Throughout his whole ministerial life ne
was eminently devoted to God, and employed
exclusively in the service of the Church; often
filling positions of the highest responsibility,
and always honorably and usefully. His mind
was clear and vigorous, his department digni-
fed, and his whole course was marked by con-
sistency, purity and answering fidelity to
principle. Whether viewed as man, Chris
tian or minister, or as filling the highest office
in the Church for forty-three years, his charac-
ter deserves to be held in the highest esteem
and his memory to be perpetuated in the his.
tory of the Church. We deyoutly thank God
for such man, and for the gifts and grace
which rendered his eventful life so useful, his
declining years and closing day so beautifully
serene, so sublimely triumphant

Is 1T REALLY SOFA woman's thoughts
about women are thus given: If Dante hadnot
lost his Beatrice when She was young and beau
tiful-if Petrarch had welded his Laura, or
Tasso his Leonora, do you suppose the world
would have been filled with their praises {?
That song after song, like those which have
been immortal, would have been sung in their
honor? Not at all! Beatrice would never
have. been the angel in Dantes heaven, if she
had continued to brighten his earthly home,
and Laura and Leonora would have bloomed
through their beauty and youth, and growing
wrinkled and faded, have dropped into the tomb
without the world knowing aught of their fate.
We are all "angels" in our lovers vocabulary,
until we consent to marry, and really take up
on ourselves the task of trying to render some
mans life happy. But then how quickly comes
the change!

How TO EAT-The common vice of our
people, in the United States, in both town and
country, in city and village, among the oldand
young, rich and poor, is rapid eating, when the
stomach, like dark bottle which is attempted
to be filled with a funnel, gets full, and over
runs before one knows it. There are two i'll
effects from hasty feeding; the food expands
considerably, both by increased warmth and
by its being divided and ique6ed, so that if
the stomach is not full when one ceases to eat,
it will be full enough in very few minutes by
the heating and Gquefying process; thus it
happens when person is called from the ia
BILE, he may feel as if he could very easily have
eaten more, but if detained very. few minutes,
he comes back, feeling that he does not want
to take another particle, and often times ex-
.press himself impatiently about his dinner be-
ing Spoiled" when the truth is, his food has
been enlarged in bulk by the necessary prepa-
rations which it has undergone, thus making
the stomach full enough for ali healthy purpo-
ses, and full enough for comfort. If meal is
taken with great deliberation, this expanding,
healthy, iquefying process begins and keeps
pace with the meal, and the man does not feel
like gorged anaconda.

JouRNAL1sM.-Co Controversy in journalism,
like it is in all other professions is perfectly ls-
gitiInate, provided it is conducted in the right
spirit and ON just principles. Differences OF
opinion, where so many questions of public in
terests arise, will inevitably. occur, and 1t is
both right and proper that these questions
should be discussed calmly. sensibly. and elab-
-orately; and when opposition of views is de-
veloped it should be met with firmness, but at
the same time with respect and decency.
When poIemics degenerate into low DISCUS
ting war of words, in which the most abusive
and rancorous personalitiestak the place of ar
gun.ent, then they are disgrace to the profess
sion and should be frowned down by the pub
lic--P Psteraburg Courier.

From Hearth and Home.
The Mousekeeper's Tragedy.

One day, as Wandered heard complaining,
And saw poor woman, the picture of gloom;
She gared at the mud her doorstep twas raining
And this vas her vail, as she welded her broom;
"Oh life is toll, and love is a trouble,
And beauty will fade, and riches will fee,
And pleasures they dwindle, and prices they double,
And nothing is what could wish it to be.
"'oTheres too much Of .worriment goes to bonnet;
There's too'much Of ironing goes to Shirt
There's nothing that pays for the time you waste on it
There's nothing that lasts us but trouble and dirt
"In March it is mud it's slush in December;
The Midsummer breezes are loaded with dust;
In Fall, the leaves litter In muggy September
The wallpaper rots, and the candlesticks rust.
There are worms in the cherries and ugs in the roses
And ants in the sugar, and mice In the pies;
The rubbish of spiders no mortal supposes,
And ravaging reaches, and damaging flies.
"It's sweeping at six, and it's dusting at seven;
It's victuals at eight and it's dusting at nine;
It's potting and panning from ten to eleven;
We scarce break our fast we're planning to dine
with grease and with Crime, from corner to center,
Forever at war, and forever alert,
No rest for day, lest the enemy enter;
I spend my whole time in struggle with dirt.
'Last night, in my dream, was stationed forever
On little bare isle in the midst of the sea;
NY one chance of life was ceaseless endeavor
To sweep of the waves ere they swept off poor me J!
"Alas twas dream-again behold it
yield! I am helpless my fate to avert"
She rolled down her sleeves; her apron she folded
Then lay down and died, and was buried in dirt.
