the market mau.
"No, thank you, I will carry it
myself"
The market man regarded him with
an inoredulous look and remarked
"What! you carry a whole quarter of
beef

The market man again regarded his
customer with attention, and no doubt
made up his mind that he was over.

Man and WiEe-HOw to Live Happy

Thomas Jefferson wrote the following ex.
cellent advice. There is much human nature
and good sense in it:
Harmony in the married state is the very
first object to be aimed at Nothing preserves
affections uninterrupted but firm resolution
never to differ in will, and a determination in
each to consider the love of the other as of more
value than any object whatever on which the
wish had been fixed. How light in fact, is the
sacrifice of any other wish when weighed
against the affections of one with whom we are
to pass our whole life. And though opposition
in a single instance will hardly of itself produce
alienation, yet every one has their pouch into
which all Of these little oppositons are put !;
while that is filing the alienation is insensibly
going on, and when filled it is complete. 1t
would puzzle either to say why, because no one
difference OF opinion has been marked enough
to produce a serious effect by itself But he
finds his affections wearied out by constant
stream Of little checks and obstacles. Other
sources OF discomfort, very common indeed, are
the little cross purposes of husband and wife,
in common conversation, disposition in either
to crticise and question whatever the other
says, desire always to demonstrate and make
him feel himself in the wrong, especially in
sympathy. Nothing is 80 goading. Much
better, therefore, if our companion views thing
in light different from what we do, to leave
him 10 quiet possession Of his view. What is the
use Of rectifying him if the thing be unmport
ant; and if important. let 1t pass for the present
and wait q softer moment and more concilia.
tory occasion Of revising the subject together.
1t Is wonderful how many persons are rendered
unhappy by inattention TO these lisele rules Of

Brazilian slavery.

The opinion which we expressed Of the Bra.
allan emancipation measure, when the tele-
graph brought US news of its adoption, is fully
confirmed by the text of the law received in
yesterdays mail. Not only has no appreciable
improvement been made IN the incomplete
scheme originally presented to the Chamber,
but one important provision--that which liner.
ated the slaves of the religious orders-has
been str csen out. The fact is, as we said be.
fore, delusve compromise with wrong, and
postpones 10 the next generation what ought
60 be granted immediately. Still it is some
thing gained. 1t fixes upon slavery in the
empire the stamp of official reprobation. The
buying and selling Of human beings is hence
forth declared TO be wrong, which is only toler
ated for a time because it has acquired too
much strength TO he suddenly abolished. A
public sentiment against il lie thus fostered,
and an impetus given 10 the practice of volun.
tary enfranchisement which has been common
in Brazil for many years.
We cannot doubt that the end Of slavery will
be resched long before the period 6xed by the
law. The example given by the Benedictine
Order, which has set free all it's slaves, thou 9b
not required 10 DO so by this bill, will be uni
tated, and fresh legislation will aid in the good
work. Tue Liberals will gain from this partial
success new strength and courage to persevere.
and the forebodings Of the slave party, who
look for a general unsetting OF society, de-
struction Of industry, and outbreak of disorde re-
as the Consequence OF allowing colored people
to hold rights of property in their own bodies.

Useful Hints.

OPEN WINDOWS AT NIGHr-Very much has
been written on this subject, and written un.
wisely; the facts are that whoever sleeps un.
comfortably cool will get sick. To hoist the
window skyhigh when the mercury is at zero is
an absurdity. The colder sleeping apartment
is the more unhealthy does it become. bacause
cold condenses carbonc acid formed by the
breathing OF the sleeper. 1t settles near the
floor and is rebreathed, and il in a very con-
densed form he will die before morning. Hence
we must be governed by circumstances the
first thing is, you must be comfortably warm
during sleep. otherwise you are not refreshed,
and inflammation Of the lungs may be engen-
dered, and life destroyed within few days.
An open door and an open fire. place are suff
cient for ordinary purposes in cold weather.
When outer WINDOWS are opened it is we'll to
have them down at the top two or three inches,
and up at the bottom for the same space. In
miasmatic locaities-and these are long water
courses, beside millponds, marshes, bayous,
river bottoms. fiat lands, and the like-it is
most important from the first of August until
severe frosts have been noticed, to sleep with
all external doors and windows closed, because
the cool air of sunset causes the condensation
of the poisonous emanatons which we're caused
by the heat of the MONDAY sun to rise far above
the earth this condensation makes the air
heavy" at shutdown, made heavy by the
greater solidiGcatiOn of the emanations by cold !;
and resting on the surface of the earth in their
more concentrated and malignant form, they
are breathed into the lungs, and swallowed into
the stomach, corrupting and poisoning the
blood with great rapidity. BY daylight these
condensations are made so compact by the con-
tracted GOODNESS of the night, that they are too
near the surface Of the earth to be breathed
into the system; but as the sun begins to as
cend, these heavy condensations, miasms, begin
to rise again to the height of several feet above
the ground. and are freely taken into the sys-
tenn by every breath and swallow hence the
hours Of sunrise and sunset are the most un-
healthful of all the hours of twenty four in the
localities named and nOontide, where the sun
| is hottest, is the most healthy portion Of the
day because the miasm is 80 much rarefed that
| it ascends rapidly to the upper regions. The
general lessons are, lst, Avoid exposure to the
outdoor air in miasmatic localities for the
hours including sunrise and sunset. 2. Have
blazing fire in the hearth of the family room
at those hours, to rarely and send the miasm
upwards. 81. Take breakfast before going out
of doors in the morning, and take tea before
shutdown; then being out after night is not in
jurious.-HaUs Journal Of Health.
