HOW TO MAKE HOME HAPPY.


Do not jest with your wife upon
subject in which there is danger Of
wounding her feelings. Remember
that she treasures every word you ut
ter, though you never think Of it again


Do not speak Of some virtue in anoth-
er mans wife to oremnd your own o!' II
fault. Do not approach your wife
with personal defects, for if she has
scnsbilitics you inHict "a wound diff
cult to heal. Do not treat your wife
with inatlcntion in company. Do not
upbraid her in the presence Of Il third
person, nor entertain her with praisiug
the beauty and accomplishments Of
other women. lfyou would have a
pleasant home and a cheerful wife,
pass your evenings under your own
roof. Do not be stern and silent in
your own house, and rcnarkahlc for
sociabiIity elsewhere. Remember
that your wife has as much need of
recreation as yourself, and devote a
portion, at least, Of your leisure hours
to such society and amusements as
she may join. By so doing, you will
secure her smiles and increase her
affection. Do not, by being too exact
in pecunlary matters, make your wife
feel her dependence on your bounty
If she is a sensible woman, she will be
accounted with your business and
know your income, that she may reg
ulatc her house expenses accordingly.
DO not withhold this knowledge in or
der to cover your own extravaganza.
Women have IL keen perccplion-be
sure she will discover your sclishncss
--and though no word is spoken, from
that moment her respect is lessened,
and confidence diminished, pride
wounded, and perhaps IL thousand un-
just suspicious created; from that mo-
ment is your domestic comfort on the
wanc. There can be no oneness
where there is not full confidence.

New ATLANTIC TELEGRApn.-The
Paris correspondent of the Boston
Journal says that in an interview a
few days since with several English
capitalists, the Emperor expressed his
confidence in the proposed laying Of a
telegraphic cable between France and
America, the termination of which is
to be the city Of Boston. The compa-
ny is being formed, and the whole
affair will be carried into execution as
rapidly as possible.

Give me HOPE, if not your love,
Oh /! give me hope to cheer,
Else, by all that's true above,


My future will be drear;
For life, cen now, is dark 10 ME.
OF gladness not a ray,
Then do not add to misery


By casting hope away.
Do You doubt? then give me time
To prove that I'm sincere
For, to me, there's not on earth
Another one so dear
Another for whose love


My life | would lay down
Would like boggar rove


Refuse a monarch's crown.

Ifyou love others they will love you.
If YOU speak kindly to them they will

Would you hear a sweet and pleasing

Farewell-and f never think Of me


In lighted hall or lady's bower!
Farewell never think Of me


In spring sunshine or summer hour.
But when you see a lonely grave,


Just where a broken heart might be,
With not one moumer by its sod,


Then, and then only, think of me

A FABLE--A young man once pick
ed up sovereign lying in the road
Ever aitcrward as he walked along.
he kept his eye stcadfastIy fixed on the
ground, in hopes Of finding another.
And in the course Of a long life he did
pick up at different times a good
amount Of gold and silver. But all
these days us be was looking for them
he saw not that heaven was brigh,
above him, and nature beautiful
around. He never once allowed his
eyes to look up from the mud and filth
in which he sought the treasure: and
when he died, a rich old man, he only
knew this fair earth of ours as q dirty
road to pick up money as you walk
along.

About the hardest trial of those
who fall from afluence and honor to
poverty and obscurity, is the discov-
cry that the attachment Of so many
in whom they confdcd was prctence,
a mask, to gain their own ends, or was
a miserable shallowness. Sometimes,
doubtless, it is with regret that these
frivolous followers Of the world desert
those upon whom they have fawned,
but they soon forget them. Flies
leave the kitchen W hen the dishes are
empty. The parasites that cluster
about the favorite of fortune, to gath
er his gifts and climb by his aid, linger
with the sunshine, but scatter at the
approach Of storm, and the leaves
cling to the tree in summer weather,
but drop off at the breath of winter,
and leave it naked to the singing
blast. Like ravens settled down for u
banquette, and suddenly scared by
noise, how quickly, at the first sound
of calamity, these superficial earth.
lings are specks on the horizon


But true friend sits in the centre,
and is for all times. Our need only
reveals him more fully, and binds him
more closely to us. Prosperity and
adversely are both revealers, the diff
ference being that in the former our
friends know US, in the latter we know
them. Notwithstanding the insinceri,
ty and grecdiness prevalent among
them, there is vast deal more of es-
TEEN and fellow yearning than is even
outwardly shown. There are more
examples of unaduIterated affection,
more deeds Of silent love and mag.
nanimity, than is usually Supposed
Our mislortunes bring to our side real
friends, before unknown.


Benevolent impulses, where we
should not expect them, in modest pri-
vaey enact many scene of beautiful
wonder amidst pIaudits of angels
And upon the whole, fairly estimating
the glory, and the uses, and the actual
and possible prevalence of the friend
" sentiment. we must checrily strike
the Tyre and lift our voice to the favor
itc song, confessing after every com
pliment is ended. that


There isa power 10 make each hour


As sweet as Heaven designed it;


Nor need we roam to bring it home,


Though lew there be to find it


We seek TOO high for things close by,


And loose what nature found US;


For life. hath here no charms so dear,


As home aud friends around US.

All knowledge relates more or less directly
to the cha racter and works of God All the
sciences are developments of his attributes
Astronomy, mathematics, natural and mental
philosophy, &C., are but SO many ways in
which the laws OF Gods great empire is made
known to US. The child al school learning the
simplest combination of numbers, and the
philosopher who scars to the sublimest height
of science, are alike converSant with the works
OF God. The intellect OF the ne may be to
the other as half dozen rays to the full beams
the sun (; but yet, if is what God is, or what
God has dune, that occupies the attention OF
both.


Now, as il IS Gods works that occupy the
intellectual powers, so it is most reasonable 10
suppose that those who come TO the study of
these works, or, in other words, engage in any
intellectual pursuits, if they bring right state
of heart towards God, will enjoy peculiar
advantages for success. The mind, being in
happy harmony with Him will move with
vigor and power. A cheering sense OF bis
favor will animate it, Each intellectual
attainment is a new discovery Of a Being
chosen already as the hearts ideal OF supreme
goood; it is the perception ofsome new andlove-
ly feature in the face ofa friend. "Blessed are
the pure in heart, for they shall see God"

judge Edmonds, the Spiritualist, has been lee
tur;ng in New York on "Death" He said there
is ony one way in which the fear of death could be
swept from the earth aud the great problem OF
mans future existence solved, and that way was
the much-abused system of splrtuasm. oplritu-
alism had established the fact that when man oles
he masses to another state of existence; ana, aso
that there is great diversity in the experience OF
different spirits in the passage Mr.. Edmonds sta
ted several cases to illustrate his positions among
which were the following: A spirit once came to
the speaker who had awakened in a place OF utter
DISSOLUTION and solitude, and had remained there
for months Having been taught that the condi-
tion in which the soul finds itself after death Is
eternal he labored under the painful belief that he
must stay there forever He had been hard, sell
fish man, who left his wife and children and went
to California in search of gold, and while there died.


The spirit of strict Sunday keeping deacon
came to him and commenced upbraiding him for
not observing the FIRST day of the week in stricter
manner; and he ascertained that this spirit had
been in the other world some time, aud was only
conscious Of existence on Sunday. During the re-
naming six days of the week he remained in q
state of unconsciousness. young lady died OF
heart disease in ball room in London, and was
unconscious for three weeks. : She came to him
and began to talk to him as though she were in
the green room, tor which she started when at
tackled. In the course of his lecture, he also gave
several other instances illustrative Of this theory,
and drew the conclusion that those whose lives are
passed in the pursuit of good and noble objects
those who love truth and labor to disseminate
knowledge and the spirit of charity, experience but
a brief period of unconscousness; while those sor-
did and grovelng men. whose aims are selfish and
whose hearts are closed to charity, are often un-
conscious for months.

Let us. TO the extent Of our ability, labor
unitedly to exalt the Common Schools, by
manning them with competent, well-paid
teachers, and the Common Schools will in
turn promote the prosperity of the College,
and the learned professions The glory of all
the learned professions, and the strength Of
all our Colleges, are based in the intelligent
and generally felt need Of them. Quacks are
never employed by men of learning. They
pamper only to the ignorant. A united and
general effort is now needed to convince
every man by practical demonstration. that
science is subsidiary to every interest, and
that science to a much greater extent than is
now generally known, is attainable by every
man. A much higher degree of general in
telligence is desideratum. Il is only to be
reached through the Common School. When
such foundation is substantially laid, more
learned teachers will be demanded, learned
physicians will be called to treat us when
sick, learned preachers will stand in the sa-
cred desk, learned lawyers will plead at the
bar, learned statesmen will preside over the
nations veal; in word, all the thousand
streams from hilltop and valley will conspire
to swell the great Mississippi Of learning. and
roll on with mighty force toward the magnif-
cent Mexico Of knowledge. n. CLARK.

If you were to see man endeavoring all
his life to satisfy his thirst by holding an
empty cup to his mouth. you would certainly
despise his ignorance but if you should sec
others, of finer understandings, ridiculing the
dull satisfaction Of one cup, and thinking to
satisfy their thirst by variety of gilt and
golden empty cups, would you think that
these wore even the wiser. or happier, or bet
ter employed, than the object of their con-
tempt; Now this is all the difference that
that you can see in the various forms Of hap
piness caught at by the men Of the world.
Let the wit, the great scholar, the fine genius
the great statesman, the polite gentleman, IL
mite all their schemes, and they can only show
you more and various empty appearances OF
happiness give them all the world into their
hands, let them cut and carve as they please,
they can only make greater variety of empty
cups for search as deep and look as far as
you will, there is nothing here to be found
that Is noble or greater than high eating and
drinking, than rich dress or human applause.
unless you look for il in the wisdom and laws
Of religion. Reader, reflect upon the vanity
of all who live without godliness, that you
may be earnest at the throne Of grace TO be
turned from the creature and seek for happi-
ness in the Creator. The poorest Christian
who lives upoo Christ. and walks in daily fell
lowship with God, is happier than the richest
wording. Indeed such only are happy. Bo-

SINGULAR INoIDENT.-A singular incident Is
related in tho Memorial dc Courtrais of France,
as having just happened to hote.keeper in
that town. He had sent a lad, about seventeen
with 5,000f Of French gold to be exchanged for
Belgian bank notes, which the messenger regu-
larly effected, receiving Eve notes of 1000 each
but which he lost on his way home. While the
hotel-keeper was lamenting over. bis loss little
girl of five or six years OF age, living a short
distance from his house, brought to her mother
q piece of paper, on which was small vignette
and which she said her brother had cut out with
q pair of scissors from larger piece. The
mother recognized it as belonging TO bank
note, ran to tho child, and found near him a
l,000f note cut into eleven pieces. The child
on being questioned where he found the note,
and whether he had any others, began to ory (;
but at length said that he had found them in
the street, and had put four others in little
box among his toys, intending to cut the pic
lures from each. The loss Of tho hotel-kecper
having become known, the woman restored him
the notes which remained whole, as well as the
pieces Of the other. These latter having been
carefully put together, were taken by the bank
and cashed the next day.

SINGULAR DEArH.--The Boston Herald puts
forth an account Of the death Of Henry Black,
Of Penn, who undertook to sever the head of
hen, was attacked by a rooster, which spurred
him on the hand into an artery. About two
weeks after the accident he was attacked with
intense pain, siokening sensation Of the heart
aud his suffering became insupportable. At
this date remarkable occurrence took place.
He drew his entire frame together, as though
to gain strength for an act, and his voice broke
forth like the growing of a rooster. This was
repeated from time to time, and such was the
similarity of voices, that the outside listeners
asserted their belief that it was rooster. After
four days of indiscribable suffering he died and,
crowed no more.

How TO LIVE LoNa.--More people die annu-
ally from want of sufficient brain work than
from an excess Of It. Good health Of body and
mind depends on each having its full share OF
exercise and work, and 1t would seem from
history that we can better afford the body to
be In state Of lassitude than allow the intel
lestual powers to lie dormant. There may be
physical cause for this, from she fact that
much thought induces q temperate life; but tho
except ons to such q rule would be found SO
secret. We are rather inclined to think that
the most general rule and the one capable OF
She broadest application, by which to attain to
shat great desideratum, 90 green old age," Is
10 give the mind full piay-to expand the pow
ers OF thought by reading and observation, and
to Danish the fear of death, resulting from an
exhausted "knowledgo-box." We have shown
TO what ages the old philosophers lived, aud
many modern ones have been equally long
lived. Galileo and Roger Bacon both lived to
ye, Button died at 81, Goethe and West were
81, Franklin and Herschel lived TO 81, and
Newton and VOltaire did not finish their labori
antil IS. The astronomer HALEY was sc at bis
dscease, and Sir Hans Soane was 90. Michel
Angelo aud Titan, the great masters of art
lived to 90. These. surely are instances enough
TO stimulate tho individual who wishes to live
long, not TO forget to cultivate the intellectual
faculties and imagination, while he Is attending
to the physical aids Of exercise, cleanliness anc
temperance. We all think too much of tho body
and neglect the higher and diviner part within
us; we cleanse the temple and adorn its pillars
but we forget that the dweller therein also re-
quires attention and care.

METAL TIPS TO Doors AND SHoEs-The saving
in shoe leather which the small metallic tip on the
toe of boot or shoe effects is very great and the
invention is one of practical utility Children are
remarkably fond of kicking out the toes of their
shoes, thus rendering them useless and making it
necessary that another pair should be procured
although no other part Of the former pair is injar-
ed. By the use Of these tips, which may be made
OF silver, copper, iron, any other malleable met
al, the boot or shoe may be worn until it is really
''done up, and they are so secure that SO long as
any portion of the sole remains, the tip will be held
fast They do not increase the weight of the shoe
above half an ounce or an ounce. 1t is the inven-
ton of G. A. Mitchell, of Turner, Me-, and was
patented on the 5th Of January Economically
speaking. there is no doubt of its value, as one
pair Of boots or shoes-men's, ladies', or chdrens
can be made to last nearly twice the time they
would without the tips.-Seientife AmerieaH.

anything that will in the least incommode child
in wearing them. They are worthy of attention on
