The Squire and his Wife.—T he
Squire had a friend to visit hint on busi¬
ness, and was very muchatmoyed to be
interrupted ... by his wife, who came to
ask him what he Wfiiited for dinner.
tiently “Go away! let us alone!” impa¬
said the Squire.
Business detained the friend until af
ter dinnsr time, and the Squire urged
him to remain. The Squire was a gene¬
rous he provider, proud of his table, friend and
complacently escorted his to
a seat. A little to the surprise of both,
they saw nothing on the board but a
huge dish of salad, which thy good wif e
began quietly to dish up.
“My dear,” said the squire, “where
are the meats Y”
“ Shore are none to-day,” said his
tady.
“ No meats ! What in the name of
poverty. The vegetable then. Why
don’t you have them brought in ?”
“ You didn’t order any.”
“Order! I didn’t order anything,”
said the amazed Squire.
“You forget,’ coolly answered the
houseyvife. *• I asked what we should
have, and you sail, ‘ lettuce alone' Here
it is.”
The friend burst into a laugh, and
the Squire, after looking lugubrious a
moment, joined him.
“ Wile, I give it up. I owe you one.
Here is the fifty dollars you wanted for
that carpet which I denied you.” The
Squire forked over. “ Now let us have
p are, and some di. ncr.”
The good lady pocketed the paper,
laug the bell, and a sumptuous repast
of fiso, poultry, and vegetables, was
broAght in.
A few days afterward the Squire re¬
mained working iu his garden sometime
after the usnal tea hour. Mis wife grew
impatient of delay, and went to find
him. His excuse when asked what he
waiting for, threw her into a flutter of
excitement.
Gome one’s to come to supper,” she
exclaim* d, “ Why didn’t you tell me?
I declare you are the provokingest man.
And without asktrig who was expect¬
ed, she hastened to change her dress
and slick up her hair for the occasion.
This done, she came out and fouup the
Squire seated ot the table reading his
newspaper. •
* Where’s your company?’
‘ Mv company ? I have’nt any com
p.ny.’
‘But you said you expected somebody
to supper, exclaimed the indignant wife.
‘ My clear, I said no such thing. You
asked me what I was waiting for, and I
said summon* to come to supper—that is
what 1 was waiting for, my dear, and I
came at once.
‘ And you have made me go and
ehonge wy dress. Oh, I’ll pay you for
this.
‘ No matter*about it, my dear, I owed
you, you remember, for that lettuce.
Quarreling.—T he tendency to let
any dispute drift into a quarrel is very
much a matter of habit; but it is a
habit which may be greatly modified,
if not wholly cured. We should teach
ourselves, to begin with the idea, before
us, that moderation iu language and
temper is evideuce, not of weakness of
character, but of the reverse While a
dispute self-control is yet in embryo, moderation
and may remove it; but
when it passes that stage—when it is
developed into a quarrel—then all hope
of setting the matter to rights is at an
end. The prudent man will now sim¬
ply withdraw himsel: fiom the affair,
instead of needlessly embittering him¬
self in a useless struggle. Of course it
requires some discretion to know when
the dispute has reached the point of
being irremediable; and it is at this
point that it should be thrown up.—
Cousiderations of false pride should not
be allowed to interfere. No matter
how j list your cause is, there is nothing
to be gained by declaiming against the
injustice of au obdurate opponent, who
sets only right on his side. A man
ought to study the history and develop¬
ment of former quarrels in which he has
been engaged, iu order to see how re¬
sultless they were, and what an enorm¬
ous waste ol time and temper they in¬
volved. He will see the misunderstand
ing grow mote definite, until it reaches
that stage at which it is impossible to
remove it without the most heroic ab¬
negation on one side or the other. He
will perceive that neither side is willing
to take the lead in coming to an ar
j rangement. The cause of dispute be¬
j comes, }>V argument, bigger. Each dis
l Mutant >Uta,U ic 18 „n I,0W W ,,,ort „ inr „ Conti! tiled inl.io in IMS
j notions. Bv-nnd-by. ' t! ey are not so
anxious to prove themselves in the right
as to punish each other for being quar
ralsome and causing annoyance. The
original ground of quarrl is lost sight of
in this sense ot mutual injury. They
are angry with each other because each
has.quarreled, and the quarrel is con¬
tinued out of revenge. Uow does it
end ? i inie, the grfeat paclncr, smooths
down their wrath ; but look at all they
have suffered and lost in the interim !
It is fortunate, indeed, if one or the other
perceives solves the obvious lesson, and re¬
thenceforth to abandon any dis¬
pute which reaches the irretrievable
and merely recriminatory stage.
liness Walking erectly not only a Ids to man¬
of appearance, but develops the
chest and promotes the general health
iu a high degree, because the lungs be¬
ing relieved of the pressure made by hav¬
ing the head downward and bending
the chest in, admit the air freely and ful¬
ly down to their verv bottom.
If an effort of {he mind is made to
throw the shoulders back, a feeling of
tiredness and awkwardness is soon ex
perieuc. d, or is forgotten. The use of
braces tx> hold up the body is necessari¬
ly pernicious, for there can be n« biace
which does not press upon some part of
the person more than is natural, hence
cannot f&il to impede injuriously the cir¬
culation of that part. But were there
none of these objections, the brace
would adapt itself to the bodily position,
like a bat or a shoe, or new garment,
and would cease to be a brace.
To se k to maintain an erect posi¬
tion or to recover it when lost, in a
manner which is at once natural easy
and efficient, it is only necessary to
walk habitually with the eyes fixed on
an object ahead, a little higher than
your own, the cave of a house, the top
of a man’s hat, or simply keep your chin
a little above a horizontal line, or,_ it
will answer to walk with your hands
behind you; if either of these things is
done, the necessary,easy and legitimate
effect is to relieve the chest from pres¬
sure, the air gets it more easily, de¬
velops it more fully, causing a more
perfect purification of the blood, impar¬
ting higher health, more color to the
cheek, and compelling a throwing out
of the toes. To Jt-riv 0 the highest bene¬
fit from walking, hoU up the head, keep
the mouth closed, anti move briskly.—
Journal of Commkuce.
The writer has deduced a few sim¬
ple rules of health from experience and
careful observation. To him they are
of exceeding value. We offers them to
his younger brethren, with the earnest
hope that they may be found equally
useful to them.
1. Fiud, from careful observation, what
articles of diet are heathful, and par¬
take of such only.
2. Eat at meal time.
3. Never take so much food at oue
meal that natural hunger will not be
experienced ut the next
4. Eat otdy wheir hungry, no matter
what the doctors say.
6 Exercise enough every day to pro¬
duce full perspiration.
6. Keep the body clean by bathing.
A thorough town bath ir. the bed-room
answers the purpose well.
7. >leep only at night, regularly and
enough.
8. A celebrated physician is report¬
ed to have condensed his rules on health
into the following sentence: “Keep
the feet warm, the head cool, and the
body open,” The writer endorses the
rule most heartily.

Curiosities of Earth.—A t the city
of Medina, iu Italy, and about four
miles around it, wherever the earth is
dug, when the workmen arrive at a dis¬
tance of sixty-three feet, they come to
a bed of chalk, which they bore with
an anger five feet. They then with¬
draw from the pit before the auger is
removed, ami upon its extrication tfie
water bursts up through the aperture
with great violence, and quickly fills the
new made well, which continues full,
and is affected neither by rains nor
droughts. But what is the most re¬
markable in this operation is the layers
of earth as we decend. At the depth of
fourteen feet are found the ruins of an
ancient city, paved streets, houses,
floors, and different pices of mason
work. Under this is found a soft oozy
earth, made up of vegetables, and at
twenty-six feet large trees entire such as
walnut trees, with the walnutstill stuck
to the stem, and the leaves and branches
in a perfect state of preservation. At
twenty-eight feet deep a soft chalk is
found, mixed with a vast quantity of
shells, and the bed is eleven feet thick.
Under this vegetables are found again.

distressed to think his promise was not
kept, but early was persuaded to go to sleep

the tool to be found. After a long and

THE DUTY OF GEORGIA.
Under the foregoing heading, the Co¬
lumbus Enquirer of the 4tll inst.. says :
“A close calculation shows that if
Georgia stands firm in her rejection of
trie Lot h Amendment, it w II probably
be defeated. This gives additional inf
portauce to (lie reports of coalitions here
at home to obtain her vote for tha
Amendmend, and of measures
gress hope that to compel her to adopt it. We
the coalitions and the press
urt? a t Washington will utterly fail
Srtppow that Cong-ess should resort
t0 the arbitrary and unconstitutional
means proposed to procure the vote ol
tie State for the Amendment; what
would we louse by it ?
We would be d-mbd representation in
Congress. But who cares for thar?
Had we not better go u> represented
than to be represented by the present
claimants of seats in tha House—men
who were never electe I to C. ougresa*
and two thirds of whom K?e not in p<>r
litical sympathy with the people ? And
suppose the present >'t.ite Gowmin’ent
once amended and then approved by
Congress—should be set aside ; would
we loose much by that? Could we pos¬
sible be much worsted ? Govenor Bul¬
lock might, be retained in his pre-ent
position ; but it would be as a “provis¬
ional” Governor, end his term ol office
would be considerably shortened by. the
upsetting. VVe are indeed convinced
that the quickest wajr to get rid of the
Radical rule unfairly o:gi/would imposed upon /dr the
t .eo,.lo of Q. be Coo
gress to declare the StatewgTmization
incomplete, lar, or inharmonious, or irregu¬
disqualifying or anti-Republican or by whatever
term the party in power
may choose to use, and to set it asi :e as
such. It certainly is bogus and not in '
and, harmony with the people of the State. ;
under the present organiz ition, it
Is saddled upon us for terms ranging
from three to elevep yearc. Military
tyranny or ‘provisional, usurp!)tion can’t
hist half as long as the least oi these
terms, when they die they will ‘die alii
over.’ We are theiefore clearly of the
opinton that as a matter pf policy, as
well as <>f principle and duty, the>prci
pie of Georgia should firmly maintain
th. ir iiit#; rity in ihe j res* nt crises, and
tike the cou.-equeuces.
