and saw sweet, beautiful woman upon
the seat in front of me. A half-sad look
rested upon the young face that was all
aglow with love and tenderness. A
young man was seated by her side whose
face wore a restless, dissipated look.

His face was flushed slightly, and |
knew why it was thus. He was talk

him, and once / heard low oath.
" Don't Charley, she said again, in the
same sweet voice. But Charley did not
seem to heedher words, but went on in a
half wild way to the man. Several more
oaths came from his lips; but the
woman remained silent, vet looked so
pleadingly at the erring one that |
thought, If he had been half human. he
would have needed the mild, loving re-
proof that was so visible in her tear
yimmed eyes.
A friend by my side whispered in my
ear, "They have been married Just one

Don't Charley; don'tgo, the young

her reach but he tore himself from her
light grasp, and rushed along. Her
eyes filled with tears, and low moan
came from her pale lips, and then she
bowed her head and wept silently.
He came back in few m oments, his
face flushed still more, and his voice
was key or two louder than before.

A Shirt That Onened Behind.

A man in Greenfield, whom we will
call William, got up the other morning
and proceeded to put on shirt which
his wife had just made after a new pat
tern. As she stood at the mirror curling
her hair, she heard a suppressedsound,
half way between groan and an oath,
ndturning round said, laughing, "Why
my dear J" "Shut upt he calculated,
"you are born fool. Never let wo-
man attempt to fit shirt, she can't do
it it's one of the impossibilities. !"
But, William" depreciatingly.
"Don't you talk-let me talk. Do you
think I'm going down town in this rig I?
A pretty disposition you've got; just
because happened TO find little fault
last week with your ironing you must
go and make me a shirt without a
bosom Such malicious conduct,
madame, is objectionable. Shut up, /
say; / won't hear word. When a
starched shirt front is the only finery a
man can indulge in, is he not excusable
for being particular in regard to that, |

it is in front, and it feels behind as If

His wife dared not speak, but, bringing
a good sized mirror from the next room,
she held it up behind him for a mo-
ment; and perceiving by his chop-f fallen
expression that he saw the point, and
the front, she ran down stairs to settle
the coffee, and see that Bridget had set
the table geometrically. As William
walked down to his Office that morning,
he said to the first friend that he met,
" | tell you, Tom, that little wife of
mine is born genius. Look at this
shirt now she cut and made it all her
self; no COMPOUNDED button-holes to
bother a fellow. just send your wife
up for pattern" And it was by the
way of Toms wife that Lizzie first
knew that William was pleased with his
shirts.

Secondary Habits.

A man may be healthy without being
strong but all health tends, more or
less, towards strength, and all disease
is weakness. Now, any one may see in
Nature, that things grow big simply by
growing; this growth is a constant and
habitual exercise of vital or vegetative
force, and whatevercheckso or diminishes
the action of this force-say, harsh
winds or frost-will stop the growth
and stunt the production. Let the
student therefore bear i'll mind that sit
ting on chair, leaning over desk,
porting over book, cannot possibly be
the way to make his body grow. The
blood can be madeto flow, and the mus
cles to blay freely, only by exercise, and
If that exercise is not taken, Nature
will not be Knocked. Every young stu
dent ought to make sacred resolution
to move about in the open air at least
two hours every day. Ii he does not do
this, cold feet, the clogging of the
wheel of the internal parts of the feshy
frame, aud various shades of stomachic
and cerebral discomfort will not fail in
due season to inform him that he has
been SHINING against Nature, and, If he
does not mend his courses as a bad boy,
he will certainly be fogged, for Nature
is never like some soft-hearted human
masters, Observation-Disclosures treatment.
But why should student indulge so
much in the lazy and unhealthy habi
of sitting? A man may think as well
standing as sitting, often not a little
better and as for readingint these days,
when the most weighty books may be
had cheaply, in the lightest form, there
il no necessity why person should be
bending his back, and doubling his
chest, merely because he happens 10
have book in his hand. A man will
read play or poem far more
naturally and effectively while walk
ing up and down the room than
when sitting sleepily in a chair. Sitting
Is, in fact, a slovenly habit, and ought
not to be INDUCED. But when "a man
does sit, or mnst sit, let him ut allevents
sit erect, with his back TO the light, and
a full free projection Of the breast. Al
SO, when studying languages, orreading
fine passages of poetry, let him read as
much as possible aloud a practice
recommended by Clemens, of Alexan-
dria, and which will have the double
good effect Of strengthening the most
important vital element, the lungs, and
training the ear 10 the perception of
vocal distinction. There is, in fact, no
necessary connection, in most cases,
between the knowledge which a student
is anxious to acquire and the sedentary
habits which students are apt TO cult
vate. son say culture" by Professor
BincEei.

The sex of Eggs.

1t has been a favorite theory with
many breeders of fowls that the sex of
eggs could be determined, and that a
poultry yard could be made toshow the
truth of certain rules by the number Of
pullets or cockerels it contained. 9th
ers have combatted the idea, and pro-
nounced il ridiculous in theory and
false in practice. Asmany of our readers
are just now especially interested in this
subject, we give the following, which
are worth testing.
X. b. Edwards says in his pamphlet /:
"Select only eggs pointed at the ends,
avoiding any that have tendency to
roundness of form; also examine the
position of the air cavities in the eggs,
and only retain those that have them
placed directly at the apex of the blunt
or large end, avoiding all that have them
placed at all to the side. In this way
eight eggs out of ten will produce cock.

The following is from correspondent
of the London Journal of Horticulture
