WHAT IS IN TIE BEDRoOM.-The i'm
portance of ventilating bedrooms is a fact
in which everybody is vitally interested,
and which few properly appreciate. If
two men are to occupy bedroom during a
night, let them step upon weighing-scales
as they retire, and then again in the morn
ing, and they will find that their actual
weight is at least pound less in the morn
ing. Frequently there will be a loss of two
or more pounds, and the average loss
throughout the year will be more than one
pound; that is, during the night there is a
loss of pound of matter, which has gone
off from their bodies, partly from the lungs
and partly through the pores of the skin.
The escaped material is carbonic acid and
decayed animal matter, or poisonous ex-
halations.
PARIs.-As London is the chief Euro
pean center of commerce, Paris is the
center of fashion and gaiety for the entire
world. In time of peace its hotels are
always crowded with people of every coun-
try and race, who bring to it and leave
with it Vast sums of money annually. The
first Napoleon having in view the brilliant
future of the modern Babylon, ravished
every city which fell into his hands for
works of art to decorate the streets, parks,
and places of the French capital; thereby
rendering it, in connection with its more
modern improvements, undoubtedly the
most attractive and splendid city the world
has ever seen in any age.

her milliner to inquire the character of a

Sensible Talk.

The Young Ladies Journal thus moralizes
on engagements The subject is worthy
the considcrate attention Of our young lady
readers:
I'VE think engagements should be con-
considered more in their true lisht-as periods
of probation merely on both sides, inasmuch
as it it is better that Fifty engagements should
come to naught than that one unhappy mar
rage should be celebrated. Too much stress
and indignation are often expressed at the con-
temptible reasons assigned in Court. The
fact is, generally speaking, there is no definite
reason that can be properly assigned, save the
all important one Of "incompatibility Of tenn
per-" and this is rarely brought forward.
Everything, then, points to the very greatest
care and caution Icing exercised before an en-
gagement is sealed If the good sense and
affection Of girl all lead her to the choice she
is making. she stands fair chance in sccur-
ing good husband. II her choice proves TO
be wrong. and she has been deceived by the
one she trusted, or should he find he cannot
love her as he ought to DO, it is more honora-
bic that he should declare it and we do not
approve of the argument being brought for
ward, as in recent case in which the dansel
strongly desired that the quarrel might be
"made up" only in effect, adding to her cry of
Marry me marry me" land if You do
not I'll make you suffer (which she did, the
gentleman in the case referred to having to
buy his freedom at the cost Of $4,000. La
dies, when they are fairly engaged generally
stand an excellent chance Of being held to the
bargain they have made; andi they are let
of. it is only because they are not cared for.
In such an event they should see reason TO
congratulate themselves that they have found
out the truth in time, and have the philosophy
TO exclaim, " better to have been once loved
Though not married) than never to have been
loved at all ;" and, so saying, cast their net OF
charms and loveliness again into the sea. And
It is hard if their dearly bought experience
does not enable them this time to bring their
prize safely to land"

Beauty Of Women.

Is there not a beauty and a charm in that
venerable and vcnerated woman who sits in the
majesty of age beside the hreside Of her
son: she who nursed him in his infancy tended
him in youth. counseled him in manhood, and
who now dwells as the tutelary goddess Of his
household What a host Of blessed memories
are linked with that mother, even in her rever-
ential and armchair days-what multitude
Of sanctifying associations surround her and
make her lovely, even on the verge Of the
grave. Is there not beauty and charm in
that matronly woman who sits looking fondly
on the child in her lap? Is there not a holy
influence around her, and docs not the observer
at once pronounce her lovely? What though
the lines and lineaments Of youth are fed p
Time has given far more than it has taken
away. Andis there not beauty and charm
in fair girl who is kneeling before that ma
tron-her own womanly sympathies just open
ing into active life, as she holds that infant to
her bosom? All are beautiful-tbe opening
blossoms. the mature flower, and the ripened
fruit: and the callous heart and the sensual
mind that droups for loveliness as a stimulant
for passion, only shows that it has no correct
sense for beauty, or refined taste

What A Drink Costs.

The New York Horid has been figuring up
the cost Of an occasional drink, and says
"Once in a while a pensive man may be
heard to say, wish had all the money back
that have spent for drinks for the past
ten years" No one man in twenty, who,
rctrospectiyely gazing gives utteranceto that
wish. has in bis mind any appToximating csti-
mate Of the amount Of which person Of even
moderate bibulous propensitcs may spend
upon drinks in the space Of ten years. Leav-
ing wines and expensive liquors out Of the
question, let us see what a plain cocktailest,
or modest imbiber Of old rye, is likely to dis
burse on his fayWite refreshments in the course
Of year
"Take a very moderate man for a sample
Assume that he drinks every day one glass Of
ale at ten cents. and four glasses Of whiskey
at fifteen cents. That amounts to seventy
cents a day, which makes four dollars and
ninety cents a week. Multiply by four and
You have $3.50 month, which comes to
$23j 90 a year. Thus, if the man who bad
gone on at this rate for ten years had his
money back, his pocket would be inflated to
the tune Of two thousand three hundred
and ffty-two dollars. This is only small
beer calculation; but think Of those who spend
five times this sum on liquors, and remember
that their name is legion"

SOAP SUDs.-A cistcrn or tank Of from two
to four hogshcads should be constructed in the
vicinity Of the sink OF laundry Of every farm
house, and a system Of conductors soarranged

This liquid matter is powerful fertilizer,
containing the food Of plants in state Of soln-
ton. and consequently io a condition 70 be
readily taken up and absorbed by vegetables
as soon as applied.
Irrigating gardens with soap suds, after the
liquid has become stale, is powerful means
Of promoting the vegetable growth, especially
in dry weather. Some have considered the
value Of suds to be equal to that Of the same
weight Of manure. This, however, is proba-
by an exaggerated estimate: yet We waat no
additional corroborration to satisfy US Of its
intrinsic worth as a vegetable stimulant.

! am a wandering wave Of the glorious sea,
Trelesslv roaming, gladsome, and free,
am floating forever from shore 10 shore,
Or laugh and leap in the Maelstrom's roar,
And dash around
With Joyous bound;
Oh vino would not be
4 wild wave Of the sea
In the frozen gulf. of the North hide,
And melt in rills from the Iceberg's side,
Then bask in the Boreais' light,
Mid splendors sublime Of the Arctic night,
Or away to the Pole
roll, | roll
Oh, who would not be
\ wild wave Of the sea ?
Then warm in the blaze Of tropic sun,
On the fowery shores of lndostan,
And toss in showers Of gold and pearls,
As kiss the fair forms of bathing girls,
Or break into bllows
For Mermaids pillows;
Oh who would not be
4 wild wave of the sea?
Now | whirl in the Cyclones fearful path
And strike strong ships in my stormy wrath,
Then swell in my pride, and | rush, aud rave
As dash them down TO their ocean grave!
So lash and foam,
On my boundless home;
Oh who would not be
4 wild wave of the sea?
Then follow the fsherman's tiny boat,
Aud play round his nets a. they idly float,
Or gurge, and ripple, and WOO him to rest
At night, as sleep with a star on my breast,
Or in sunshine and song
bear him along;
Oh! who would not be
4 wild wave Of the sea?
In the gulf-stream's dark blue waves glide
TO the unknown source of that wondrous tide
Where that strange weed floats with its berries
bright,
And the pctral rests in his boundlesS flight,
As he layes his wings.
And his Storm-nOte rings
Oh who would not be
A wild wave of the sea ?
Now away from the land rush f.r out
In the foaming track Of the watcr-spout,
Then rage and roar, and -cethc, and hiss,
And leap till the very clouds kiss,
Or whirl and dance
In mauiac's trance;
Oh who would not be
A wild wave Of the sea?
Then with deep. strange music, hour by hour,
| lash on the lonely lighthouse tower,
Or away on the coast in the surf and swell,
| can ring with my touch the lnch-Cape Bell,
On the rocks ! am beating,
And ever repeating,
Oh who would not he
4 wild wave of the sea?
Now I sink far down to those silent waves
That girdle the Oceans glorious caves,
On golden sands amidst gorgeous shells,
hear the strange tales that the cable tells,
And there | sleep
In the iathomlcsS deep,
OH who would not be
4 wild wave Of the sea?
Though the North West passage float at will,
That problem unsolyed by mariners skill,
Or beyond those barriers Of Ice gain
The 'Opeu Sea they have sought in vain,
Amid breakers | roar,
On that silent shore
Oh who would not be
A wild wave Of the sea
And Oft amid coral groves ! roam,
Where the Ocean architect rears its home,
