to those who may observe them:
1. Have your sleeping room we'll vent;.
lated. Pure air is just as necessary in
cold weather as in warm. II you shut
yourself up in close warm room
through the night, you will be very ant

2. Have bed-clothing enough to keen
you comfortably warm, but no more. as
All excess will prove burdensome aud
Weakening. Have more clothing over
the feet aud legs than over the BODY.

those sudden shocks and chills which

shoes and an abundance of clothing for
the legs and ankles.
3. AVOID compression by dress of any
part OF the body or limbs, as it interferes
with the circulation of blood, results in
cold e1tremities, and congestion of the
head or some of the internal organs.

character is more valuable in a wife,
than the possession of sweet temper.

it. 1t is like the flowers that spring up
IN our pathway, reviving and cheering

ried and worn ont by the tolls of the
day, and how soothing is word dictated
by sweet disposition! It is sunshine
falling on his heart. He is happy, and
the cares of life are forgotten. A sweet
temper has soothing influence over the
minds of the whole family. When it is
found In the wife and mother, YOU
observe kindness and love predominatine
over the natural feelings Of o bad heart.
Smiles KIND words and looks character

their dwelling there. Study, then. TO

more valuable than gold. Il captivates
more than beauty, and, to the close of
