Mrs EAToN.-Mrs. Belknap IS not the
first woman who has played the mischief
in the Cabinet of President. Jackson's
Secretary of War also chad wife" Peg
gy O'Neil was the daughter of tavern
keeper at the famous town of Bladenburg.
She married one Timberlake, a purser in
the navy, who soon left her widow. Then
she married General James Eaton. She
became the society leader, and then came
scandal, and at last all explosion, when the
wife of a foreign minister refused to sit at
the table with Mrs. Eaton, proudly march
ing out of the room. Then other Cabinet
wives cut her, and then she complained to
the President, and the row became gener-
al. designations came in like autumn
leaves; and Frank Blair, ST., and Amos
Kendall organized the famous, Kitchen
Cabinet" Mrs. Eaton's power fell with
Jackson's retirement, but she had spunk
enough to give Van Buren, piece of her
mind, shaking her fist in his face, and call
ing him ''sneaking old fox" Mrs. Eaton
became religious ana gave largely to chart
ty; and then,w when past sixty, married for
eign dancing master less than half her age.
He robbed her of her jewels and personal
property and eloped with her grand daugh-
ter. Mrs. Eaton is still living, or was a
few months ago, supported by grandson.

VULGAR1TY.-We have friend that
never speaks vulgar word" He is
minister and writer of ability. 81 resolved
when was a child,'' said he, "never to
use word which could not pronounce
before my mother without offending her."
He kept his promise. He is pure-mind-
ed, noble, honored man to-day. His rule
and example are worthy Of imitation.
Boys readily learn a class of low, vulgar
words and expressions, which are never
heard in respectable circles. The utmost
care on the part of parents will scarcely
prevent it. Of course, we cannot think
of girls as being as much exposed to this
peril. We cannot imagine decent girl
nsing words which she would not give ut
terance to before her father and mother
Such vulgaritY is thought by some boys
to be SMART" the ''next thing to swear
ing" and yet not so wicked. 1t becomes
habit; it leads to profanity; it fills the
mind with evil thoughts; it vulgarizes and
degrades the soul; it prepares the way for
many of the gross and fearful sins which
now corrupt society.

MENTAL OvERwoRK.-W are the
signs which indicate Impairment by over
work? This question is thus answered in
the SANITARY Record 'Overwork, "
says the Record, ''exists When the sense
of energy once possessed is distinctly i'm
paired; when it is found an effort to get
through what was once a cheerful task;
when what was once found comparatively
easy is beginning to be felt trial; and,
above all, when errors or omissions, the di-
rect outcomes of tagging and wearied
brain. commence to manifest themselves.
To spur on an exhausted brain, and bY ap-
plication and longer hours of toll to COM
pei the overtaNed nervous system to COM
plete its round of duty, is one of the most
disastrous and erroneous measures that
can be adopted. Whenever work, itself
unaltered, looks larger than of yore, and
is felt to be more trying, then the system
is commencing to feel this effects of over
work, which, however, may actually have
existed for some time unnoticed. This is
especially true of the monotonous labor
which is undergone by the clerks and sub
ordinate officials of our commercial houses;
it they are free from the anxieties which
affect the principals, they are the more
subject to the wearing action of monoto-
nous labor.-From Miscellany, in Popular
Science Monthly for 4pri.

HINTS ABOUT BEAUTY.-There is moth
ing more unfavorable to female beauty
than late hours. Women who, either from
necessity or choice, spend most of the day
in bed, and the night at work or dissipa-
ton, have always a pale. faded complexion,
and dark-rimmed, wearied eyes. Too much
sleep is almost as hurtful as too little, and
is sure to bloat the person with a pallid and
unwholesome fat. Diet also has a marked
influence upon personal beauty. Generous
living is favorable to good looks, as it tends
to fill out and give color te the skin, A
gross and excessive Indulgence, however,
in ealing and drinking. is fatal to the fe-
male charms. especially where there is a
great tendency to ''lnaking flesh" Regu-
larity of time in the daily repast and
scientific cooking are the best means Of Sc
curing net orlY good health, but good
looks. The appetite should never be " asst
ed during the Intervals between meals on
pastry, confectionery, or any other ticker
of the appetite VIII oh gratifies the taste,
but does not support the system. Exercise
is, of course, essential to female beauty.
1t animates the whole physical life, quick
ems the circulation of the blood, heightens
the color, develops the growth, and perfects
the form of each limb and the entire body.
1t also gives beauty and grace to every
movement.

WASTE OF LAND.-If II farm of 100
acres is divided by fences into fields of 10
acres each, there are miles Of fences. If
each fence row is one rod wide, no
less than 20 acres of land are occupied by
them. This is equal to 81 per cent. Of the
farm, and the loss of the use of the land is
exactly equal to a charge of 81 per cent. on
the whole value OF the farm. But nearly
every fence row in the country is made a
nursery for weeds, which stock the whole
farm, and make an immense amount Of
labor necessary to keep them from smooth
ering the crops. Much damage always re
suits to the crop from these weeds, and if
these expenses are auded to the first one.
the whole will easily sum up 20 per cent.
or tax OF one fifth of the value of the
farm. To remedy this we would have few
er fences, or we would clean and sow down
the fence rows to grass or clover, and NOW
them twice year. Ten acres of clover or
timothy would at least supply farm with
seed and few tons Of hay every year. We
would in short consider the fence rows as
a valuable part Of the farm, and use them
as such.

A Word ABOUT MARRIAGE.-Ap hysi-
clan writes the following sensible advice;
My profession has thrown me among all
classes, and my experience teaches me
that God never gave man greater proof
of his love than to place women here with
him. My ADVICE is: 60 propose to the
most sensible girl you know. If she says
yes, tell her how much your income is,
from what source derived, and tell her you
will divide the last shilling with her, and
love her with all your heart in the bar
gain. And then keep your promise. My
word for it, she will live within your in
come, and to your last hour you will regret
THAT you did not marry sooner. Gentle
men, don't worry about feminine extrava-
gance and feminine untruth. just you be
true to her, love her sincerely, and throw
it up to her frequently, and more fond,
faithful, foolish slave you will never meet
anywhere. You won't deserve her,
know, but she will never see it. Now,
throw aside pride and selfshness, and see
what will come Of it,

A TOUCHING In CIDENT.-A nobieman
who died few years since had chest all
locked up, but marked: "To be removed
first in case Of fire." When he died, his
friends opened that chest, supposing, of
course, that some valuable document or
deed of property, rich jewelry, or costly
plate would be found in it, But what did
they find? They found the toys of his lit
tie child, who had gone before him. Richer
to him were they than all the worlds
wealth; richer than his coronet; brighter
than all the jewels that sparkled on it's
crest. Not his estate, not his jewels, not
his equipage, nothing glorious and great
in this world; but the dearest objects to
him were the toys of his little child.

A NEW TEMPERANCE ARGUMENT.

A N EW TEMPERANCE ARGUMENT
The Reedsburg wis., free Press tells
this extraordinary story of an old GENTLE
man who lives in Poynette, Columbia
county, in that state, and admits that if it
were not so well vouched for it would lie
almost incredible. The old man is named
William Otis, and is now ninety-two years
old. He is represented as having been
very much addicted to Intoxicating liquors
-"has drank enough liquor, sir, to float
seventy-four gun ship" Many years ago
he became nearly or quite bald, and his
teeth became few and far between.-His
eyesight failed almost entirely-About
twelve years ago he left off the habit of
drinking liquor. Since that time he had
a new set of natural teeth all around, his
hair has come on anew, and his eyesight
has returned, SO that he is enabled to work
regularly at his trade, which is shoelnaking.

The ELEPHANT AS AN EXECUTIONER.
Among the modes of punishment in
vogue in the East there are few that are
not characterized bv harbarity in a 81 eater
OF less degree. We may, if we like, hold
the theory in America that the execution
Of a criminal should be carried out as a
deterrent to Others rather than as society's
revenge upon him personally for the Of
fence committed; but with Indians such
an argument would not hold water for
moment, and this is sufficiently proved by
the refinements Of torture which many of
their modes of FURNISHING ID involve, and
which seem specially designed as much to
crafty the morbid tastes of the beho.ders
as to accomplish their ultimate designs on
the victim.
Although the English have done much
to abolish these barbarous modes of execu-
ton IN the different native States under
their control, they still prevail in some
psrts'of the Indian Empire; notably at Hy-
derabad and Baroda, from the latter of
which capitals we have received the fol-
lowing account of the mode of executing
criminals with the elephant:
The wretched victim is bound hand and
foot, and then by means of rope tied
round his waist, is secured to the hind leg
of TIE elephant, which is then driven at a
brisk trot through the city. OF course, at
every movement of the animals leg, the
body of the man is lifted up and dashed
against the ground; and it is we'll if one of
these conclusions should haply prove fatal,
in which his case his sufferings are at an
end.
Otherwise the miserable wretch is take
outside the city, where ne is placed with
his head upon Il stons, and the elephant
raising his enormous foot, brushes it as
easily as a Nasmyth hammer would Bar

THE HOUSEBAND.
BY S. H. BROWNE.

The ancient photography of the wo
is said to be 'housebond,"
who keeps the house
ousehold) together.
He is the strong and tireleSS hand
That tolls from day to day
To chase from forth the lowly door
Tia wolf of want away.
That spreads the sheltering roof-tree
Where wife and children dwell,
And hold them in a tender clasp,
With love no words can tell.
For the husband is the houseband
That binds the home together
With bonds no shock or storm can rend
Through summer or winter weather.
His is the head that pores and plans
For honor or fame or pelf,
And yet in the midst of strain and strife,
Thinks little of ITSELF,
And much of the group that gathers
About the ''Home and HEARTH
The place by loves enchantment made
The brightest spot on earth.
For the husband is the housebond
That binds the house together
With bonds no shock OF storm can loose
Through summer and winter weather.
His is the heart that warns and swells
With manho0d's manifest thrill,
And yet In its strong and generous depths
Is all unselfsh still.
But though the hands be toiling,
Or the mind hard pressed with care,
Bears the dear burden to its God
In deep though voiceless prayer.
Yes, the husband is the houseband
That binds the home together
With bonds no storms can loose or rend
Through summer or winter weather.

"You needn't thank me. 1 should have

1 hope you're not troubled about those
ridiculous jokes" he added dignifiedly.
sN--o," responded Prudence, miserably,

"How could have thought so? 1t was

The sobs partially ceased. and Miss

"Won't you bid me good-bye?"
Prudence said eyes," uusteadily, but
did not raise her head.
'sYou will shake hands, won't you, Miss

No answer
II can't go away while you are offended
with me. Won't you at least tell me why

because II lost my grandmother's
ring sobbed Prudence, making great
effort for composure.
Mr. Wentworth laughed in spite of him
self.
"Why it's safe on your finger and not a
whit the worse for its baking. Is there no
other reason ?"
"N-o."
s'But there is. I shall never have anoth-
er happy moment if I've offended you,"
said Mr.. Wentworth, tragically. II was

Another long silence. Mr.. Wentworth
turned away in despair, but was detained
by faltering voice, "I-I'll forgive you

'sWell ?" was the breathless interposi-
ton.
"You-woa't-so -away."
The more observant boarders noticed at
breakfast the next morning that Mr.. Alb
bott Wentworth wore the ring he had
found in the biscuit on the little finger Of
his left hand, and that Prudence wore a
heavy-chased gold circle in the place of her
lost ornament. To use the words of one of

THE ART OF HospIrALITi.-The art
of hospitality should be as devoid Of art as
possible, and it is we'll summed up in the
following:
Welcome the coming guest; welcome
him with few simple, pleasant, easy
words; without ostentatious cordially;
without gushing declarations of friend
ship; without paralyzing his arm by an in
terminable shaking of hands; without
hurry or flourish, or undue anxiety to have
his trunk carried up to his room, or sand
wichiDg between every sentence an anx-
ious appeal to make himself entirely at
home-an appeal which usually operates
to make one feel as much away from home
as possible. Constantly taking it for
granted, on the part of the host and his
family, that one is not comfortable, and
that they must hurry about and take all
the esponsibility- self-helpfulness-
from the guest, thus depriving him of the
credit of common sense, is something
worthy of indignation the more So be-
cause politeness forbids the least sign of
impatience. 1t is ill-bred; it is not decent.
It is insulting to the guest: and he would
serve the author of such t! eatment right
if he cut him, thereafter, withou. ceres
mony. And yet how many OF our we'll,
meaning, and, i'll most cases, well-bred
people, fall into the error that, unless they
are constantly on the alert, unless they
establish kind Of espionage over their
guest, and watch his every movement, lest
he should b ush his coat or take seat for
himself, they will be wanting in courtesy.
The art of hospitality consists in putting
the guest at his ease; and this does not
mean telling him to be at his ease. 1t
consists in making him forget that he is a
guest, and not in constantly pushing the
fact before his eyes. And it also consists
in leaving to him the exercises of his senses
and of responsibility, at least so far that,
finding what he needs at his hand, he may
help himself

PASTE FOR WALL PAPER.-Take gal
lon of water, and bring it to a boil in q
kettle. One quart of flour stirred up in
cold water, and strained through sieve,
so as to have no Jumps in it. Stir we'll
into the boiling water. then add one tea
cupful of west India molasses. Let it boil
up once, and remove from the fire, stirring
it up occasionally till cold. This makes
very adhesive paste, and moisture in the
room will not dampen the paper through.

Hot LEMONADE FOR A CODA hot
lemonade is one of the best remedies for a
cold. It acts promptly and efficiently, and
has no unpleasant after effects. One
lemon should be properly squeezed, cut in
slices, put with sugar, and covered with
half pint of boiling water. Drink just
before going to bed, and do not expose
yourself the following day. This remedy
will ward off any attack of chills and fever
if used promptly.

reason why it does not pay equally well to
