MARRIAGE.

The dominion Of a man over his
wife is no other than as the soul rules
the body; tor which Il takes a mighty
care, and uses Il with a delicate ten
dsFness, and cares for Il in all eOntin-
gencies, and watches to keep it from
evils, and studies to make for it fair
provisions, and very often is led by
its iaelinztions, and desires, and does
never contradict its appetites but
when they are evil, and then also not
without some trouble and sOrrows (;
and its government come only to this:
it furnishes the body with light and
understanding, aud the body fur
nishes the soul with hands and feet (;
the soul governs because the body
cannot else be happy, but the govern
ment Is no other than provisional as
q nurse governs a child when she
causes him to eat, and 10 be warm,
and dry, and quiet.
/ And vet even this very government
itself is divided for man and wife in
the family are as the sun and moon
In the armament Of the heaven he
rules byday and she by night, that
is, In the lesser and more proper cir
cles Of her affairs, in the conduct Of
domestic provisions and necessary
offlces, and shines only BY his light,
and rules by his authority. And as
the moon, in opposition 20 the sun
shines brightest; that is, then when
she Is in her own circles aud separate
regions, 50 Is the authority OF the
wife then most conspicuous when she
IS sepafste and IN her proper sphere.
But when she is in conjunction with
the sun, her brother, that Is, in that
place and employment In which her
care and proper ofices are employed,
her light Is not seen, her authority
hath no proper business. But else
there Is no difference, for they were
barbarous people among whom wives
were instead Of servants; and il Is a
sign OF weakness to force the camels
{ to kneel for their load because thou
hast not strength and spirit enough
10 climb; &C makes the affections and
r FeVenness Of aWife bend by the hex-
ures Of q servant is q sign the man Is
not wise enough 70 govern when
{ another Is by. And as among men
and women humility Is the way to be
preferred, 50 II is in husbands, they
z will prevail by eessiOn, By sweetness
and counsel, and charity and COM
pliance. SO thst we cannot discourse
or the mans right without describing
the measures Of his duty.-Jerenly

Like produces like, {" is an axiom
well sustained by experience II
YOU want to grow good crops you
must begin by sowing good seed. IL
Is Door economy for a farmer to SOW

best seed, merely because be has q

Inferior article at a low price By
such economy, his crops viii grow
poorer and poorer every year, ana 80
viii the farmer.
Crops viii degenerate more or less
by continuing 70 SOW or plant. for q
long series Of years, seed which mas
been grown from preceding crops
from the same farm, or even In the
same neighborhood. The general
opinion with practical men Is, that
seed taken from q more northern 70
more southern climate will do better,
mature earlier. and consequently be
sooner out Of the way Of It's enemies.
When you have even good seed OF
your own and can get better by pay
ing an extra price f0Fit, get the better.
Do not be satisfied with seed Of stand-
ard weightas Fixed by law-the law Is
graduated to medium quality, and
seed ought 10 be Of q higher standard.
The grains Of seed wheat ought 20

the heating process Of a crib, By

Grass seed should be selected with
much care, and with that you will
seldom get it pure. Timothy is easier

grass seed. To test the quality, wet
your finger and dip 1t into the seed ;

How Tom Marshall Pleased Every,
bOdV.

During a warm political campaign,
before the war, Mr.. Marshall went to
the highly moral and pOpulous county
of Clark TO address the citizens at the
Court House in Winchester. He was
aware that he had to address a most
moral, religious community, every
member of which. almost without ex-
ceptiOn, belonged to one or the other
denomination, and his adversary him
self was a strict "church member
And to add to his embarrassment the
churches were about equally divided.
and he himself was known to. be not
remarkably pious. How to please all
and offend none was a task that only
his genius was equal to, and he wound
up a long speech with the following
characteristic ''electioneering dOdge:"

the church-would to heaven l could

Bedding Work Horses.

We once owned a fine carriage horse
that would not lie down in the stable
for three successive days and nights,
II the floor was Uttered with straw,
as horses are usually bedded. As the
horse was worked hard every day at
plOughing, he showed signs Of exees-
siTe fatigue, for want of 8 little rest by
lying down. We tried the following
experiment, with satisfactory success.
Just before retiring to rest in the eve
ning we went TO the barn, sefaped all
the litter back, and made q bed of
bose straw, two feet deep, over the
entire hoor Of the stall. The fatigued
brute would sometimes Re down on
the inviting straw before We had left
the stable. Many horses are 50 sensi-
tive and nice in their habits that they
win not lie down on . cold and wet
door, OF on the wet accumulation Of
their own stalls, even when there is
the small allowance Of bedding.
Horses are not disposed to lie down
half as many hours as neat cattle.
But every stall should be abuDdantly
Uttered with dry straw late in the
evening, that the weary animals may
have the advantage Of refre hing
sleep on dry bed during lev hours
Of every night. There Is loss In the
straw by spreading it over the entire
stall, two feet deep, every evening,
and removing it every morning.

The InterIor of the Rarth.

We suppose that Prof. David For
bes, Of England, knows as much
about the interior Of the earth as any
man living. In a late lecture he in
sisted that all the objections brought
by geology, mathematics. or astrOn-
Omy, against the old theory that the
earth Is a molten mass surrounded by
9 crust about fifty miles thick, are
quite untenable. He would have US
believe, while the outer layer Of melt
ed matter, just below the earth's
crust, may be kind Of glossy Stag,
that, not far below this layer, a sala-
mander bent on discovery would find
the pure molten metals, Of which the
heayiest-gOld, platinum, etc.-wOuld
be at the earth's centre. Very likely
the mess of the earth is molten iron /;
and this view is quite corrObOrated
by the fact that the broken fragments
Of some disrupted world, which, in
the fOlm Of aerOlites, are continually
falling from the sky are often metal
lie iron. But what a tantalizinC
thought it is, that just under our feet
are countless tons Of the precious
metals, only waiting for John Whop-
per TO let US know the route BY which
he passed through to China.-ScTib-

DOOR.YARD ORyAMEyTATION.

We have made great progress the
past few years in our style OF garden
ing. Formerly every little door-yard
however small, was cut up into 8 lab
yrinth of narrow walks, carefully
edged with dwarf-box. This sort Of
needless and unsightly patchwork is
fast passing away, and far better
taste is being shown in the smooth,
soft carpets of green grass, with the
needful flower beds cut out wherever
required. Flowers are like diamonds;
their settings should be OF the inoon-
spicuons order, and never the most
prominent feature Of the two-as
often seen among the 'tshoddyites'
in both fashionable society and horti-
culture. Our florists and nursery
men still have a considerable demand
for .boxn edgings; /; snd IL Is a pity
although tits true, that we have 50
much had taste shown in our euour-
ban gardens. Sometimes the grounds

Feeding Harsss 100 Much Hnr.

Of our domestic animals, there
are none that require more systematic
care than the horse. A hone should
be fed regularly, and in moderate
quantities, and worked judiciOuslY.-
A horse fed ia this way may be kept
at a TnOderats cost and i'll be more
healthy and perform more labor, than
il fed highly, or as many we know Of,
are In the habit Of feeding their hors-
es. They will surely eat enough to
injure them II they can get it. When
hay is kept constantly before them,
horses are apt to spend their time in
throwing 1t around tOpsy-turvy in the
rack, they soon become dissatisfied
with their food, and lose their keen
relish for Il. The general practice
should be to feed regularly three times
a day.
