A HERE FOR WOMEN.
fCongregationalist.l ]

Woman are naturally good eeono-
miSts. They are apt at understanding
how to make limited means go as far
as possible. The man and the wife
are united in the desire to get rich;
the man is likely to think more about
earning money, the wife will attach
more importance to saving it.
Almost every American earns mon
ey enough to be well off, and in times
to be rich. 1.-THE does not become so,
it is, in many cases, because he has
no wife, or because he does not take
her into his cOunsels. He is full OF
enterprise and makes an income, and
if he does not prosper, it is often be-
cause he does not hold on to it. His
wife, very likely, has the faculty of
conversation which he lacks, and if
he has the shIewdness to enlist her in
his plans, he may find his fortune
made.
In continental Europe, Ok-keep-
ing is a part of the education of well
taught farmers daughters, and the
wife presides over the finances of the
establishment. With US wOman's
aptitude in the promotion of material
prosperity is too little thought Of; and
a woman, who, as girl, was untaught
in respect to judiciOus economy, makes
an expensive wife. Her husband per-
haps keeps her in ignorance of his
finances puIpOsely. If he is prosper
Gus, she becomes accustomed TO plen-
ty of money, and ill-prepared for re-
verses. If he is not proposed, she
has to bear the pinching of poverty
without knowing how to help him
avoid the pressure.
Marriage would be easier and hap
pier if young women were taught the
principles of accOunt-keeping, and
systematic habits in respect to finan-
ces and if the young husband would
take his wife intO his confidence, and
make the income and outgO, and the
accumulation of the first few thou
sand of dollars, a matter Of common
interest. An American girl of aver
age intelligence and good sense can
make the fortuneOf q man whose love
she enjoys, and who will give her for
the purpose a full share in the respOn--
sible control Of the income Of the
household. She will not generally be
able to enter into his business plans,
but if she knows his wages, salary or
current profits and his personal eX-
penses, and can thus fOresee what the
household has to rely on, she will
charaeteristically be ready ''tO cut
the coat according to the cloth" and
will usually be more scrupulOus than
he, to lay aside something every sea-
son rs the beginning of their fortune.

A Beautiful Illustration.

Shortly before the departure of the
lamented Heber Of India, he preached
a sermon which contained this beau
tiful sentiment:
life bears US on like the stream of
a mighty river. Our boat glides down
the narrow channel, through the
playful murmuringso of the little brook
and the windings Of its grassy bOr-
ders. The trees shed their blossoms
over our heads; we are happy in
hope, and we grasp at the beauties
around us-but the stream hurries on,
and still our hands are empty. Our
course in youth and manhood is along
q wider and deeper flood, amid other
objects more striking aud magLifi-
cent. We are animated at the NOV
ing pictures, and enjoyments and
industry around US; we are excited
at some shOrt-lived disappointment.
The stream bears on, and our joys
and our griefs are alike left behind
US. We may be ship-wreeked, but We
cannot be delayed; whether rough or
smooth the river hasiens to its home,
till the roar of the ocean is in our ears,
and the tossing fthe waves is beneath
our feet, and the land lessons from our
eyes, and the floods are lifted up
around us, and we take leave of earth
and its inhabitants, untilOf our future
voyage there is no witness save the
Infinite and the Eternal.

Two principles govern the moral
and intellectual world. One is per-
petual Progress, the other the neces-
sary limitations to that Progress. If
the former alone prevailed, there
would be nothing steadfast and dura
BILE on Earth, and the whole of social
Life would be the sport of Winds and
Waves. If the latter had exclusive
sway, or even if it obtained a mis-
chievous preponderaney, everything
would petrify and rot. The best ages
of the world are always those in which
these two principles are the most
equally balanced. In such ages,
every enlightened man ought to adopt
both principles into his Mind and
Conduct, and with one hand develop
what he can, with the other restrain
and uphold what he Ou0ht.-Genz.

England,s Position Towards Canada.

HAMILTON, CANADA, April o.
Hon. William McDougall, formerly
member of the Ottawa government
and late Lieutenant Governor, in a
lecture last night, stated that while in
Egnland, he had discussed the posi-
tiOn of Canada, as affected by the rela-
tiOns,between England and the United
States, with Mr. Cardwell, Earl Gran
vile, Gladstone and Adderley, Seere-
tary for Colonies, in the previous
government. The conclusion they
had come to was this: That all parties
recognized the change that had taken
place in the position of Great Britain
and were anxiously preparing, in
every possible way, to meet the new
state of things. He had been forced
to the conclusion, that the policy was
not to abandon the colonies, nor to
act so as to drive them away from
their allegiance, but TO prepare them
for maintaining their own position,
by means of their own right hands;
to make them conscious, that if an at
tack was leveled against them, they
must depend mainly, if not altOgeth-
er, on their own resources to resist *,
failing in which they must be pre-
pared to accept the consequences
whatsoever they might be, which
would follow an invasion and con-
quest.
Speaking for himself, and speaking
freely, frankly and truthfully, he
was of the opinion that the union of
these provinces was the preliminary
step for the establishment of a system
of government in British America
which would enable us when the mo-
ment arrived, when the necessity
pressed on US TO maintain our separate,
independent existence among nations.
He believed that that idea was pres
ent in the minds of those who took
part in that change, but because they
foresaw the inevitable contingencies,
was it to be charged that they were
dislOyal, as had been hinted He
took the position that these men were
not open to any such condemnation.
He referred to the phrase of Lord
MOnck about new nationality Lord
Lisgard's declaration, that an alliance
should now take place in allegiance,
as well as to the repeated observations
Ofthe leading newspapers OF England
to establish the fact that what the
public men of Canada fOresaw was
based on a correct understanding of
the opinion in the mother country.
The whole drift of that opinion was,
that the connection with Canada was
a source of embarrassment, from
which the mother country should be
freed as soon as possible, and if the
English statesmen and the English
press discussed the question so unre-
servedly, without being subject to i'm
putations of disloyalty, it could not be
charged against the public men of
Canada that they were wanting in
loyalty, because they recognized the
actual position Ofaffairs. The speak
er was frequently applauded.

SADNESS. is a mysterious
feeling that frequently passes a cloud
over the spirit. 1t comes upon the
soul in the busy hustle OF life, in the
social circle, in the calm and silent
retreat of solitude. It's power is alike
supreme over the weak and the iron
hearted. At one time it is caused by
a single thought across the mind
Agsln; sound will be booming across
the ocean of memory, and solemn as
the death-knell, overshadOwing all
the bright hopes and sunny feelings
of the heart. Who can describe it,
and vet who has not felt its bewilder-
ing influence? Still 1T is a delicious
sort of sorrow, and, like a cloud dim
ming the sunshine of the river,
although casting a mOmentary shade
of gloom, 1t enhances the beauty Of
returning brightness.

SHEEP EATING THEIR WOOL.-In-
stances of sheep eating their own
wool are quite common, especially
during the latter part of the winter
and early spring. Some have thought
the cause resulted from the presence
of 4 parasite-as minute as the red
spider of some Towering plants
" Nhich produce an irritation, and to
allay this the sheep acquired the habit
of biting its own skin, and thereby
eating its own wool. 1t is generally
believed, however, that the habit is
analogous to that Of hens eating their
own shells, and of the abnormal ap-
petite of cows for old bones, woOlen
rags, &c. and is caused by an ex-
haustiOn of the phosphates in the
soil. Old pastures and fields that
have been long cropped, are deficient
iH these elements, hence the absence
OF them in the feed, and consequent
want of them by the animals. As a
preventive, mix a small quantity of
bone meal with corn meal, and give
them an occasional feed. Sulphur
also has been found to be a preventive
of the habit, and many farmers keep
their flOcks constantly supplied with
it. 1t no doubt assists in giving a
healthy tone to The system.-MGiRe
Farmer.

One dark night, not long ago, a
burglar entered private residence in
a country town. On ascending one
flight of stairs he observed light in
a chamber and while celebrating
what to do, a large woman suddenly
descended upon him, seized him by
the throat, pushed him down through
the hall and forced him into the
street before he had time to think.
" Heroic Repulse of Burglar by q
Woman" was the way the story ap-
peared in the newspapers next day.
But when friends called and con-
graduated her upon her courage, she
exclaimed" GOod gracious, ! didn't
know il was a burglar. If 1 had 1
should have been frightened to death.
1 thought it was my husband come
home drunk again, and I was deter
mined he shouldn't stay in the house
in that condition"

Sometimes Father TaylOr's mirth-
fulness led him to use expressions
that seem out Of place when repeated
in cold blood, and especially when
printed. A Nc. Snow not being very
warm in his talk the old father grOans
out, 80 Lord melt the Snow" A
cOlOred brother, who was speaking
ardently, drew out of him the re-
spOnse: 'There is rain in that cloud. s"
A man by the name of Wood, who
was not noted for his warmth in his
talks, drew from Father Taylor the
brief prayer, 20 Lord set fire to that
WOOd.n An old German saying he
no more doubted his acceptance with
God than that the sun shOne at noon
day on a clOudless sky, the old vete-
ran eXclaims, Bring your Harvard
learned ones to this man, and let them
learn true theology" At a SPRING
field conference, there had been a
warm discussion on the prOpriety of
publishing in "the Minutes" the
names of the donors to the missionary
fund, together with the amount con-
tributed by each. Father Taylor had
made one of his characteristic, poin-
ted speeches upon Ostentatious Civ
ing closing with the junction, LET
not thy right hand know what thy
left hand dOeth." In reply, it was
urged by Dr. Butler that iC would be
in opposition neither to the spirit nor
the letter of scripture to publish the
names of these donors; citing, as an
illustration in proof of this position,
that Christ himself had made lauda-
tory mention of the poor widow who
had cast two mites into the treasury.
Father Taylor, half rising add lean
ing forward, with a shrill voice, not
loud, but perfectly audible in every
part of the house, called out, twill
DIR. Butler please give US The name of
that poor widow ?n

in the debate in the House of Lords
on the 22d ult., concerning the Wash =
ington Treaty, Earl of Derby rose
and desired to know how the govern
ment intended to proceed in the treat
ment of the treaty. Earl of Granville
replied on the part Of the administra-
ton, and the sum and substance may
be summed up ih courteous refusal
Oh his part to say what the govern
ment was going to do about il. What
course the Ministry meant to pursue
with regard to the presentation of the
counter case at Geneva was not even
referred to. The press is undecided
in its opinions, of the reserve, or Sc
crecy, Of ths government in the mat
ter. Endorsed by some as wise and
by others as lacking decision, the
course of Mr.. Gladstone and his Cabi-
nent is the subject of much adverse
and but little favorable criticism.

AS the trials of life thieken, and
the dreams Of Others fade one by one
into the deep vista of disappointed
hope, the heart grows weary of the
struggle, and we begin to realize our
insignificanee. Those who have
climbed to the pinnacle of fame or
revel in luxury and wealth, go to the
grave at last with the poor mendicant
who begs by the wayside, and like
him are soon forgotten. Generation
after generation have felt as we feel,
and their fellows are as active in life
as ours are now. They passed away
as vapor, while nature wore the same
aspect of beauty as when the Creator
commanded her to be. And so IL
shall be when we are gone. The
heavens will be as bright over our
grave as they are now around our
path. The world will have the same
attraction for ofsprings yet unborn
that It had once for ourselves, and
that It has now for our children.

Further Legislation Concerning
Streets and Roads.


The legislature at Columbus has be-
fore it two bills. the object of which is
to provide for the vacating of roads
and ways opened by private persons
and occupied for a period for public
use. One of these is a House bill,
providing that when a road has been,
or shall be dedicated by private per-
sons to public use, majority in inter
est of the proprietors of lands lying
upon said road may, after giving thir-
ty days notice by proper advertising,
petition the county commissioners for
the vacation of said road, and the
commissioners shall have the power
to determine and declare the road va
Gated. And the same bill further pro-
vides for the direct and immediate
closing of cross roads connecting
main roads which intersect each 9TH
eT, in certain cases, by any party own
ing land through which the said road
runs. The second bill having the
same general object, is a Senate
amendment to the act for the opening,
widening and improving Of streets
and highways, providing that the
question Of damages may be taken
into consideration for the alteration
or vacation, as we'll as for the opening
of streets aud roads, and assessment
made upon the property benefited.
This latter amendatory bill was passed
by the Senate on Thursday, and will
doubtless become a part of the i'm
prOvement bill which has lately be-
come law. 1t is sometimes as i'm
pOrtant for the proper improvement
of locality to have badly arranged
streets and roads closed, as to have
necessary streets and roads opened I;
and we hope the Legislature will not
delay to pass one or the other of the
bills framed for this purpOse.-Ceue-
land Leader.

RERREATHFD AIR.

The crowded, badly-ventilated
schOOl-roOm iSoften the place where,
early in life, rebreathed air cOmmen-
ces its deadly work. Not one school
room in a hundred in this country is
fit place in which to cOnfine chill
dTen six OF eight hours of the day.
The little ones are herded together in
a promiscuiOus crowd; those of ten
der years and those more advanced,
the feeble and the strong, the siekly
and the well, are all subjected TO the
same hours of study, the same school
discipline, and ali breathe the same
deIeteriOus air. The hardy and the
strong may be able to resist the in
fiuenee of the poison; the weak and
tender ones grow pale and haggard,
and, struggling on through their
sehOOl-days, live perhaps to the age
of puberty, and then drop into the
cOnsumptive's grave. Will parents
never awake to the enOrmity of this
evil?
Small, ill-ventilated sleeping-rooms
in which Tebreathed air is ever pres
ent, are nurseries of consumption
These are not found alone in cities
and large towns, OF among the poor
and lOwly. Well-to-dO farmers
daughters and sons in the country
those who live among the mountains
of the New England States, where
Gods pure air is wholly undefiled-
are often victims of consumption
How is this explained? Look into
their bedrooms; examine into their
daily habits of life; and the cause is
made plain. Old-fashiOned fireplaces
are boarded up, rubber window-strips
and stoves have found their way into
the most retired hooks and corners of
the land; and the imprisoned noun
tain air in country dwellings is heated
to a high point, and breathed over
and over during the days and nights
of the long winter months. 1t is GER
tainly true that girls in the country
take less exercise in the open air than
those residing in cities. They appear
to be more afraid of pure cold air than
city girls. Consumption is not less
rare among females in the country
than in cities, in the present age. It
was not so formerly. The deelara-
ratiOns of grandmOthers and old ply
sicians go to show that, fifty years
aSos NOAouul HllOu was AAdAul hhOh u

whistled through the dwellings then,
and the fire blazed and roared upon
