Miseries OfWar.

If three men were to have their
legs and arms broken, and were to
remain exposed to the inclemency
of the weather, the whole country
would be in a state Of the most
dreadful agitation. Look at the
wholesale deaths on the field Of bat
tie, ten acres covered with dead, and
half dead, and dying and the
shrieks and agOnies of many thou
sand human beings. There is more
of misery inflicted on mankind by
one year of war than by all the civil
peculatiOns and aggressiOns Of a cen
tury. Yet it is state into which
the mass of of mankind rush with
greatest avidity, hailing official
murderers in scarlet and gold and
cocks feathers as the greatest and
most glorious OF human creatures.
It is the business Ofevery wise and
good man to set himself against
this passion for military glory,
which really seems the most fruit.

ROreia Come AFatn.

The London Medical Press and Circu-
lar has the following:
A very startling communication has
been made to us by a gentleman occupy
ing q most prominent post in this coun-
try, of the existence of the most deadly
poison, by the inhalation Of which, sim
ply through the medium of a letter sent
by post in the ordinary way, the reader
will suddenly drop down dead, with all
the symptoms of ssphyxia. The posi-
ton and requirements of our informant
should place his evidence beyond suspi-
cion nevertheless, before giving entire
credence to such a startling report, we
are anxious to obtain confmatory evil
dence from any of our readers, in whose
minds suspicious of foul play have aris-
en- when investigating cases of sudden
death, and what such symptoms were.
Certainly, the following clipping from a
Canadian paper, relative to the recent
sudden death of a person of note, looks
very ugly: "He received an anonymous
letter, and while reading it he fell down
insensible, and shortly after expired. 1t
is said the letter contained some poison
Gus subtance."

Important Requisites In q
Wife.

BulLEs
Mothers in a great degree are re-
spOnsibIe for the wives their daugh-
ters make. If they do not train
them early to take their own share
in household wOrk-if they do not
teach them to cook and superintend
a household, to sew, mend and knit
there is the blame if they do not
fulfill the duties they undertake,
when they become wives and house
keepers. In every situation Of life,
high or low, this sort of knowledge
is Of the greatest advantage. If the
husband is rich, the wife should
know how to disburse his riches
most advantageously; if he is poor,
she should know how to make a lit
tie go a great way, and should hs7e
been taught that "many a little
makes a miekle."
There is no necessity that the
gaining of such information should
interfere with either intellectual &C.
quirements or elegant accomplish
ments. A well regulated mind can
find plenty of time to attend to all
these pursuits. When a girl is nine
or ten years old, she should be
obliged to take some regular share
of the household duties upon her
shoulders; and to feel responsible
for the manner in which her part is
performed, such as washing the cups
and saucers; cleaning the silver, or
arranging and dusting the parloE,
and attending to her own mending.
This should not be done OCCASION
ally and neglected whenever she
does not feel in the mood Of per-
forming the task, but should be con-
sidered her special work, and its
non-completion should receive re-
buke and correction. When older,
girls should begin to take turns in
making bread, cakes, pies and pud-
dings. Should learn efect,lall5l, and
not stand by and see others do them,
but learn to do the work practically.
Many husbands affairs have suf-
fered sadly for the want Of these do
mestic accomplishments. The wife
tries to learn, tries to do her duty,
but her early education was sadly
neglected, and she must always be
the sufferer thereby. On the other
hand, if a girl has been well taught
in her youth, when she becomes q
wife she understands fully the man
agement of household concerns, and
many a husband has been saved
from ruin by his wife's knowledge
|Of economy and good management.
