The Great Cause Of Unhappinesa.

,, Harsh judgment, rough words,
email but frequent acts Of selfish
ness and injustice, sometimes quite
poison the heart that promised to
be healthy, and curse the start that
promised 10 be blessed. -. 20
There are families which possess
every earthly comfort, health,
money and occupation, but are
miserable from the jealousy and
.quarrelipg that prevail within
them. TDere are married couples
who live in daily sorrow, not be-
cause they are in want, but because
each thinks the other unkind, arbi-
trary and inconsideyate. -
Young people sometimes marry
with their eyes shut; and thus in
stead of being mated with angels,
as they foolishly imagined they
might te, they find ont afterwards
that thoy are only men and women,
with the common work.a.day weak.
ness and faults Of their respective
sex. This sham love easily gets
soured, and then each reproaches
the other for. not fulfilling the sen
timental prospects with which they
entered into the married state.
! Take any of the relationships o
life, and we should find that fal
the greater, part of all our sorrow
comes from the same cause. Ge

him the most annoyance and die,
quietude, and he viii tel. you they
come from want of kindness, sym

tell you that he could bear ether
things if he only met with more
consideration, support and eneour,
agenent from the people with
whom he has to do. 80 '...

Effect Of Forests ON Health.

1t seems to be generally under.
stood among scientific observers
that forests, and even q few rows
of trees, often have great effect in
checking miasmatic vapors. 1t
has been observed that q screen Of
trees in certain localities in Italy,
protected TIE inhabitants from
fevers which were prevalent upon
the other side of them. Certain
commissioners in the Tnscary ad
wise the planting of three or four
rows of white poplars to intercept
the current of air from malarions
localities. Lieut. Marry believed
that a few rows of sunfowers plan
ted between the Observatory at
Washington and the Potomac
marshes, had saved the inmates of
the Observatory from the intermit.
tent fevers to which they had been
formerly liable, and large planta
lions of sunflowers have been
planted in alluvial soils in Italy
with favorable results in preven.
ting the spread of noxious exhal.
tations from the marshes.
1t is supposed that the plants or
trees not only act mechanically to
check the unhealthtul current, but
also chemically to render the nox.
ious eff1uvia harmless by decom-
posing it. %, -
The uniform temperature and
humidity of forests, ex xcept in trop.
ical climates, are considered favor
able to health. Even the grea,
swamps Of Virginia are found to
be healthy both to blacks and
whites until portions Of the forest
are felled, when by rapid decom
position they become insalubrious,
and even dangerous. ''a1' H'5
" Upon the whole, it would seem
that for comfort, for fertility o.
soil, and for health, as we'll as fol
convenience, economy, and last, be-
not least, the beauty Of the land
scape, we ought carefully to cberisl
our native forest and encourag
artificial plantations. ,,s 49,.

The Publication Of Births.

The publication of notices of
births is rapidly gaining ground
in various sections Of this country,
as has long since been the case In
England, France and Germany,
and, in fact, in nearly all parts OF
Europe. The feeling of false deli
cacy w''ch has SO long existed in
connt on with this important and
eventtulf feature Of human economy
is fast giving way to more enHghf.
ened views on the subject, and in
a little while the habit of annonnc.
ing births will be as common and
fixed in all parts of the country as
that of publishing marriages and
deaths. And why not2 The fact
OF being born is just as patent and
necessary, and just as proper more
over, as that Of getting married or
dying. There should, therefore,
be no more hesitation in, making
it known in one case than in the
others. Besides, such publications
are. of grea. importance ,as public
records in Furnishing vitsf statis'
tics in which all are interested,
and of hardly less value as q means
OF preventing inspositions and in
the establishment of identity, heir.
ships, etc., where other evidences
do rot exist. It is only necessary
for heads Of, families to get over
fths old maidish feeling that it h
adventurous or vulgar 70 make
Epublic those interesting domestic
evcnts, to inaugurate a custom b
favor Of which many sound rea.
sons exist; and against which nc
valid objection can be urged, By
any well-meaning person. ~ -

To DESTROY MoLEs.--Make corn
meal into dough with water in the
usual way. Mix Herewith small
portion Of arsenic. At the break
ing up of cold weather in the
Spring, when the moles first begin
to travel forth, break through their
roads and deposit q lump about
the size Of marble, and cover
again with q clod of dirt to ex-
clude the light DO this at many
points and the moies soon disap-
pear. @'@ @a Is g,
1t has sometimes been asserted
that it is not the moles that does the
damage, but a monse that follows In
the wake. Indubitable reasons ex-
ist for believing that the moles par
take OF the poison and are destroy ed,
and that whether the injury to
crops is done by the moles or mice
the evil ceases after q thorough
application of the above.

CHieSoSs.-Ihere is o lady in
Washington who wears her own
fair hair without q chignon, which
fact deserves mention in honor of
the one sensible woman of the age
who does not disfgnre herselfwith
the current vile wad. No enc il
deceived by these monstrous tu-
mors into believing any other
thing than by their assumption is
indicating q woful lack of that
long hair which is the glory ofwo-
man in the persons wearing them.
They defile collars, they exhale
graveyard sayors, and do away
with one Of the pleasantest part of q
woman's head, next to her face
the round shapely noddle, to wit,
OF beauty unadorned. Even the
close shorn .spoll = Of a bruiser
is preferable in judicious eye
to the back brain Of q pretty wo-
man fouled up with q mass of
horse-bair, sea moss, and dead
folks tresses. A way with it,
taen, good ladies. The summer
is nigh, and its heat may reveal
those taints Of the chignon which
the cold of the winter has kept
under check.

KEELING AN OLD MAN,

of the great exhibition of 1851

gold fields of New South Wales,

distinct memory of how my maid
