ADVICE TO MARRIAGEABLE GIRLs.-If
man wipes his feet on the doOr-mat he
will make a good domestic husband. If
man IN snuthng a candle puts it out,
you may be sure he will make q stupid
husband. Ii man puts his handker-
chief on his knee while taking tea, you
may be sure he will make q prudent
husband. In the same way, always mis-
trust a man who will not take the last
piece of toast, but prefers waiting for
the next warm batch, it is likely that he
will make a greedy and very selfish hus-
band, with whom you will enjoy no
" brown" at dinner, no crust at tea, and
no peace whatever at home. The man,
my dears, who wears rubbers, and is
careful about wrapping himself up be-
fore venturing in the night air, not un-
frequently makes good invalid hus-
band, that mostly stops at home, and is
easily cOmforted with slops. The man
who watches the kettle, and prevents
it's boiling over will not fail, my dears,
in his married state, in exercising the
same care in always keeping the pot
boiling. Theman who does not take tea,
ill-treats cats, takes snuff, stands with
his back to the fire, is brute whom |
would not advise you, my dears, to mar
ry upon any consideration, either for
love or money--but most decidedly, not
for love. But the man who, when tea is
over, is discovered to have had none, is
sure to make a good husband. Patience
like his, deserves to be rewarded with
the best of wives and the best of moth
ers-in-law. My dears, when you meet
with such a man, do your utmost to
marry him. In the severest Winter he
wouldn't mind going to bed first.

/. How ENGLISH GRooMs TAKE CARE
.oF HoRsEs.--A correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser tells
how some English grooms at Saratoga
are teaching the Yankees the care of
horses ~ .- ...--.. .s-- .... .. e. .
To-day | asked one of these grooms,
who has spent twenty years in the
stables of royalty, what he had to say
about our American way of taking care
of horse. .-z.....s.. ......s...
"Why, sir" said he, "you don't take
good, care of your horses; you think
you do, but you DON'T
HWhy ~ asked.
" BECAUSE, when a horse comes in all
wet with perspiration, you let him stand
in the stable and dry with all the dirt
ON. In England, we take the horse as
he comes from a drive and sprinkle
blood water all over him, from
his head to his feet. Then, we scrarJe
him down and blanket him, rubbing his
legs and face dry. Thus in an hour he
is clean and dry, and ready to take a
good feed, while with your way he will
stand and swelter for hours, and finally
dry, sticky and dirty. Our horses never
founder, and never take cold. We
never use q currycomb; you scratch
your horses too hard. The only care
necessary is TO haYe the water not too
cold; then battle them instantly, while
you are rubbing their legs"

SPRING: FIGHTs.-The spring fights
opened here last week; in some cases
commencing and ending in the use of
great many "hard" words; in others
resulting in light skilmish, reminding
us a great deal of our bOyish days,
when one lad would put q chip on the
shoulder of the other and dare him to
knock it Oft. The chip not being re-
moved, the yOungster would become
more spunky, and Il second challenge
would go forth-I dare You like black
dog yes, like a big black dog to knock
this chip off my shoulder. Young
John Phoenix, however, tells us how he
whipped the other feller: You see,
Bill and me went in to take q drink,
and felt, in my pocket for my knife,
and found 1T was, gone and said, Bill,
you stole my knife and he said | was
and said he was q liar, and | could
whip him If | was bigger'n him; and
he said he would rock me to sleep,
mother, and said he was bigger one !;
and he said | never had the measles !;
and said for him to fork over that
knife, or I'd fix him for a tombstone :;
and he said my grandmother was no
gentleman; and said he darsn't take
it up, but he did, you bet; then got up
again, and said he was too much afraid
to do it again and tried to, but he didn't,
and | grabbed him and threw him down
on the top of me like several bricks !;
and tell you it beat all-and so did he ;
and my little dog got up behind Bill
and bit him; and Bill kicked at the
dog, and the dog ran, and | ran after
the dog to fetch him back; and didn't
catch him till I got clear home; and I'll
whip him more yet. Is my eye black q?

AN OLD- FASHIONED MoTHER.-SomC
time ago Mrs. Buckelby, who lives over
in Berrin county, Michigan, directed her
son Samuel, lad of fourteen, to take a
turn at the churn. .... ..rt.. =, -,..-..-.
Now, as Samuel had set his heart or.
going a-tishing, at that very time, ho
"'got his back up" and fatty refused to
agitate the cream. The curvature was
promptly taken out of his spine by IL
slipper, and with tears in "his eyes,T he
went on duty with the dasher.
In about half an hour, and during the
brief absence of his mother, his eyes fell
upon plate OF fly poison, and a bright,
smart thought struck him. .s.el i %,
Just before Mrs. Buckelby: came in.
Samuel lifted the fatal platter to his
face, and as she entered he put the poi
son" from his lips with the dramatic ex-
clamatiOn: -4.,
"There, mother, l guess you WON'T
lick me no more ~ tI
Now what did this Spartan mother do
Did she shrek for doctor, and fall into
Mysteries? Not much. She simply took
Samuel by the nape of the neck, lifted
him deftly into the pantry, beat I'D tho
whites OF six eggs together, and told him
to engulf the same instantly; in refus-
ing, she called the hired girl, and in ID
twinkling Sam found himself outside OF
the albumen.
Then Mrs. Buckelby began preparing
mustard emetic. Seeing this, Sam dis
solved, and he commenced begging.
crying, II was only trying to skeer ye.''
But the stern mother was not to tho
softened, and Samuel had toswallow tho
mustard. He was then forced to take IL.
dose of pain-killer, and had his back
rubbed with ''Vigor of Life" and his
stomach with the "Oil of Gladness.
Then he yomited up everything but his
boots and socks. This being over, hts
took six Ayers pills, two spoonsful OF:
caster oil, a teaspoonful of salts and IL
blue pill. And now if you want to SEQ
the maddest boy in Michigan, just say
" fly poison" to Sam Buckelby.

QUEEN VICToRIA's HAB1Ts.-When
free from the cares of State, nothing can
be simpler than the daily routine Of life
Queen Victoria leads at Balmoral Castle.
She manages her household on very
strict principles, the servants according
to merit-promotion always being held
out. For a stupid act one member of
the royal household had to wait ten
years for promotion. Her Majesty rises
at z, takes breakfast at 8, and then at
tends to dispatches and private cores
pondence. Luncheon is sat2, then drives
out in her carriage. During meals a
piper plays in front of the window. She
dimes at $50 in the library, not having
used the large dining hall sincethe death
Of her husband. There is no display in
the library-the arrangements are of the
simplest character. She spends much of
her time in Prince Albert's room. She
comes quietly In to her dinner, with her
knitting in her hand, and retires early.
She is woman of great method. In all
weather she is seen abroad. A rainy
day does not keep her in with water
proof and an umbrella she defes the
elements. Tt is quite common thing
to see her walking in the grounds under
drilling rain. She is hardy woman,
having no " fine LADY, fancies. She
dresses consistently with the climate and
the weather, and a fresh, eomely, sem
sible-lOoking lady sheis, in her comfort
able, plain jacket and bread -brimmed
hat.
