Love Marriages.

A marriage should only be consu-
mated when both of the parties are
morally certain that they are neees-
sary to each others existence; that
life would be dreary waste without
the oasis of the loved; that the in
tended one possesses all you admire
and esteem, and that the journey
through life in his or her companion
ship will be enc of serenity and hap
piness. The union will then, by the
endeavor of both, be attended with
all the Joy, contentment and happi-
ness that it is in the power of NOR
tails to obtain here below. Maria
ges are usually contracted to satisfy
desires, as love, fortune, and position.
The results are most truthfully sta
ted by an eminent divine in the fol
lowing passages;
Who marries for love takes a wife;
who marries for fortune takes mis-
tress; who marries for position takes
lady. You are loved by your wife,
and regarded by your mistress, and
tolerated by your lady. You have a
wife for yourself, mistress for your
house and friends, lady for the
world and society. Your wife will
agree with you, your mistress will
rule you, your lady will manage you,
Your wife will take care Of your
houschold,y your mistress of your house
and your lady of your appearances,
If you are sick your wife will nurse
you, your mistress will visit you.
your lady will inquire after your
health. You take a walk with your
wife; a ride with your mistress, and
go to a party with your lady. Your
wife shares your grief, your mistress
your money, and your lady your
debts. If you die your wife will weep,
your mistress lament, and your lady
wear mourning, Now, which will
you have?
To man there is but one choice he
can nationally Mako marriage Of
love. Ny female readers, l hope,will
also decide to rather wed Il husband
than the master or the elegant gen.
tleman.

A Dangerous Enemy.

With sunshine and open FIRE, there
is only one other customary enemy
to be got rid Of in the bedroom, and
that is, the fixed washstand. This

places, in hotels and restaurants, but

tary aesthetic reasons, from our do.

is now admitted that the drain pipes
are the source of a great deal of the
diseases of our cities and even of our

and seeing no certain wayto prevent
the evils so long as drain pipes are

Charpai Hands.

To avoid cha2ped hands, avoid the
causes, since there is no effect without a
cause. Among these causes are sudden
exposure to cold after wetting them, es-
pecially il soap is used in washing
That too much soap is often used can
not be doubted, aud when that soap is
made OF putrid materials, the result
must be still more disastrous. The less
soap on the hands and face, the better;
since its use DESTROYS the oily matter in-
tended to keep the skin soft and yield
ing. Ii it must be used, wash the hands
Immediately in vinegar TO counteract rs
much as possible its effects, wiping them
a dry as possible, and then dry. by the
fire before going ont.
The tree use Of salt, also, tends 10 the
chapping of the hands, causing, in. part
at least, the salt rheum, and 9t. conrse
making the skin dry and hard, liable,
therefore. to chap. The frequent use Of
sweet oil, glycerine, etc, will prevent
some - these results, by sottening the
skin. 1t may be remarked in this con-
hection. that most of the cheap soaps
are not only inferior in quality, but pos
iiively injurious, a may be inferred
from the fact that they cause an unpleas-
ant sensation OF the skin. Let such
soaps bc avoided as expensive at any
price, even a. gift. Let the hands, al

There is no fruit more seryiceable to
the people than apples. They contain
sugar. much malic acid and some valu-
able mineral matter. 1t * true that APP
PIES often produce Indigestion and fiat
uIence, but generally the cause is in the
manner in which they are eaten. Ap
pies contain a great quantity OF fixed
air, and if eaten hastily the air passes
into the stomach, becomes heated, ex-
pands. and causes fatulence in persons
OF weak figestien. Such persons should

II it is too troublesome to scrape the
apple, then il should be chewed till ev-
