Wo read no much about the ob ligation laid npon the wife to be it perpetual sunbeam in the house, that a word to husbands, on the topic may not be amiss. A cheerful atmosphere is impor tant to happy home life. It is very hard for children to bo good when they are expostd to an inces sant hail-storm of fault-finding ftom their parents. It is very dif ficult for a wife to maintain a calm aud charmingly sweet demeanor, when her husband is critical, or sullen, and takes all • her tender efforts with indifferent apprecia tion. 1 know lull well the polite amaze ment or amiable iucredality with which men reccivo tho statement of a woman's opinion that in the home partnership the wife, and not the husband, pulls the laboring car. Still, it is true that, let a mail's bushier he ever so engrossing, ever so wearisome, ever «o laborious, the mere fact that he goes to it in the morning aud rcturus from it at night, sets hint abovo his wife iu ca*e and comfort. For him tli* slavery of routine has its breaks, lie gets a breath of the world out side; he seen people end hears them talk; aud his homcis distinctly his refuge ami shelter. L t a wife aud mother love her home and her children with the most absolute, unswerving devo tion, und serve them with the most unselfish fidelity, there are, never, theless, times when she is very ctry., See knows better than any one else, the steps and stilehes, tbe ing* done over und over, and the pettiness of the trials that come from nursery and kitchen. They are so Insignificant that she is ahliaintd to talk abcut them, and I lour she soiuotimoH forgets to tell her Saviour Low hard they press und so, hearing her cross all •, its weight becomes crushing. A sunshiny husband makes a mtr- ry, beautiful home, Worth having, worth working in and for. If the is hrci zy, cherry, considerate and sympathetic, bis wife sings iu her heart over the puddings ami her mending-basket, counts the hours till be returns ai night and renews her }outh in tho security she feels of Lis approbation and admiration. You may think It weak or child ish if you please, but it is the ad ruitetl wife, Iho wile who lean word** of praise and receives smiles of recommendation, who is capable, discreet and executive. I have seen a timid, meek, self-distrusting little body fairly bloom into strong, self-reliant womanhood, under the tonic of cordial companionship with a buaoand who really Went out of his way to find occasion for showing her how tenderly he de ferred to her opinion. In home there should be no J no striving for place, no insisting on prerogatives, or division of in lerest. The hOtbaud and tho wife are each.the complement of tho other. And it is just as much bia duty to be eheerful as it is here to be patient} bis right to l ling joy into tho door, as it is hers to sweet cu and garnish the pleasant inte- rior. A family where tho daily walk of the fulber makes life a festival is filled with heatenly ben ftdictions. Jose Liko tho Fathor of a Family. Mrs. J).—Wbat a wonderful jumper the puma it. Mr. D.—What have you found now. Mrs. D.—Here is an item which says thst a puma in the Blue MouuUins recently jumped forty feet. Mr. D.—Poor fellowi I can sym pathise Kith him. Mrs. D—How you talk. Mr. D.—Most likely the luckless animal was searching for paregoric in the dark aud stepped on a tack. -Philadelphia Call. Mother, remember that no med icine cures, it simply assists nature In relieving itself i>f an unnatural condition of th« system. Worms disarrange—8briner’s Indian Ver* mifugfe kills and drives them from tbe system, thus removing the cause of disease. Tbe biggest liar the world ever kaftw was Goliath. Importance of-Marriage. Don*t rash Into matrimony girls. Remain single till you are well in the twenties, when body and mind are alike well developed. You cannot over estimate the impor* tance of a thorough knowledge of the man whom you design to mar ry. Uprightness, fixedness of principal and unselfish and genera ous disposition, with good business abilities, should be regarded as in dispensable. If a young man is a good son and brother, he will tuako a good husband provided you do your part. Do not be won by trifles. A handsome face, a fine figure, a noble bearing, may bo dorircd but they constitute but a small part of what you really need. Neither is it wise to aspire far above your present station in life, as this would give rise to solic itude lest you fait to adapt your self to your changed circumstances. Marriage should not bo entered upon withont a knowledge of its physiological laws, elso much do- mestio.nmery may bo expected. Neither should it bo soUght for worldly gain or position. Never, as a wife, neglect tho:o graces and ch irms which won your lover.- Never consider it too tftutHl trouble to dresi tastefully, and in your lust, for your husband's eye. Give him freely of those graceful and pleasuut surprises, which will make him happy, if you expect a continuance of t ioso lover-like at tentions from him. Hide nil the disagreeables in person, toilet nud homo, and keep tho boat for loro. Such'a course would bo likely to make a good man of a bad one, it anything would, ilo has taken you "for better, for worsej” but do not allow yourself to appear, like the wife of poor Lo, "all worse and no better.’’— Waoerly Magazine.

When a native of China doing businees goes to the wall, a man daiiti investigates his sffuirs und the lciult is about as follows: "1 find thnt ) ouc household ex penses have been about 80 cents per day.” "Alas ! oh mighty roodrian, havo aflr extravagant family.” "Your rent has been CO cents per mouth. How dare you incur such expenses on your small capi tal?” "I was in hopes times would im* prove.” And I find among your items of expense such things as opera tick ets, oysters for Sunday, and smok ing tobacco for your grandmother No wonder you have to shut up shop and cause your creditors to mourn/’ "Oh mighty mandarine, show mercy to an honest but sn unfor tunate man.” "Call yourself honest, when you withdraw 70 cents of your capital to buy your wife a party dress? Come to tbe temple of justice.” At the temple tbe creditors di vide op the assets, and each one is then privileged to use a whip on tbe debtor’s bare beck until he thinks be has got 10Q cents on tbs dollar.— Wall Street A r cies.

There are some marriages which remind us of tbe poor fellow who said: "She couldn’t get a hukbsnd, and I couldn't get a wife, so we got married/' A Fierce Clash of Cavalry. A Desperate Conflict Daring Lee's Last Be treat Gen. Thomas L. Rosser furnish' es the Philadelphia Times with an account of tho ctvalry fight at High Bridge, on Lee’s retreat from Petersburg, from which the follow* ing extract is taken! "As soon as Col. Bearing tn'iv* cd out so as to threaten tho Fed eral flank, Col. Washburn charged him with bis cavalry, and I nover witnessed a handsomer charge than he at this time led. Bearing met him with the samo undaunted, de termined pluck, and tho most sav age hand-to-hand fight I ever wit nessed was the result. Dearing, Waahburne were both killed withio three feet of each other. Whether they slew each other I cannot say, but many think tbry did. Col. Boston and Maj. Thompson were also killed in this cavalry fight, And every matt in WashbUrne’s command waa killed, wounded or eaptured; nono tried to escape. I was unablo, from a wound received through my left arm at Five Forks a few days before, to uso my eabro, but during the fight 1 rodo among my men and encouraged them by my presence, which was all I 0mlId do, and while I looked on I s.tw Maj Jim Breathard, of tho horso arlils lery, attack two Federal captains, Breathard with pistols and tho Federals with sabres. They clos ed beloro Breathard had an oppor tunity to shoot, or if ho shot he raisMed Ids mark, and when I saw him thy Federals wero cutting and sticking at him with their sabres and Breathard Was exceedingly busy warding them off with his pistol. Their horses woro rup against Brcatlurd’s and ho was finally knocked off his Iiomp, and in falling hU foot was caught between his horse and ono of tho Federal captains’ aud polled off ono of his boots. Breathard then shot aud killed ono of the officers aud Courier Scruggs dished out from iny side and killed tho other, und in a moment Breathard wan in tbe saddle again, with on}} ono boot, and again joined ill the fight.” The Want of Sleep. A recent medical writer says: "Sleep whenever Jon can—-any- ttbero when you get n chance; the greut Want of the age is sleep.” This is not always safe advice to follow, ns a friend of ours knows to his rorrow. lie was recently afflicted with a bad col I, and to cure himself of it resorted to tbe remedy of putting bin ftet in hot water, and drinking a tulnbler full of strong whiskey toddy, prescribed by an aged and respected friend of the family. Huvhig got every thing in order for carrying out the prescription, he sat down by the tire, his Act immersed in warm water, and a tumbler full of smok ing toddy by his side. Jn this condition a senno of enjoyment stolo over him as he sipfed tho exhilarating liquid and he fell asleep. His wife bad gone to bed, and on awakening about 3 o’clock in the morning, wondered why sbo was alone. Going doftn stairs she was horrified to find her liege lord fast asleep in his chtify tbe Are out, his feet still immersed iu tho water, over which a cake of ice was forfriing, and an empty tumbler on tbe chair beside him. His cold iso’t a bit better. Who is tho mau that is looking so hard at the piece of paper? He is an intelligent compositdr. Why does lie bold the paper so close to his eye,? Because the correspond ent that wrote it makes bed tracks. What is he saying ? He Is saying, "I can’t make out thij stufl’.” And who is the other mau going to tho ca*e ? That is the foreman. What does ho want? He is going to help the Intelligent compositor decipher tbe lien tracks. Do you think be can do it? I don’t know, be can do mo9t anything, but 1 guess that will be too much for him. Now I see another man coining, what is be going to do ? That is the precise proof reader.

Now all tho men are close together, see, their heads most touch, und they nro looking every oho at tho pieco of paper. What arc they doing that for ? — Because they are coliccutrating their giant intellect* upon the picco of paper to see what tho hen traek correspondent means by bis hieroglyphics. Have they found out? No, they are stumped. Now they arc going away from the case. Yes, and one of tho men chucked tho p ecc of paper into the stove, tVhy does ho do that ? Because ho can’t read tho hen tracks. Who is the small boy that has a grin on his face aud bnt turned up in front? IJb is the olfleo hoy. What is tho nolo edi tor saying to him ? 116 is tolling him to go-after tho long range shot gun. Wlmt for? Because tho ablo editor wants to go Iitint ing after tho hen truck correspond* cnt. Will ho hurt linn ? Yes, he will, if he catches him. Do you think tho correspondent ought to be killed ? Certainly ! What a Woman Doss. Mrs. Jared Crandall, one of the three women who havo charge of government lighthouses, is station ed nt the important po.-t nt Watch Hill. Ten years ago her huaband kept thff lighthouse; at his death, six years since, she was retain ed by tho government.

Tbe wi&3w of Santa Anna, tbe once famous Mexicau President, General and Dictator, is now living quietly in one of the small States of thnt Republic, "tbe world for getting and by tho world forgot.” She is only 48 years old, but if her husband were alive ho Would be a hundred at least. Santa Anna tvaa President of Mexico three years before his wife was born. The two wero married when the bride was thirteen years old. For twenty years hftr~life was spent in camp, surrounded by the whirl ot warfare. Her husband was five times President of Mexico, four times military dictator in absotute power. He was banished, recalled, banished again and finally died when with his wife in exile as a traitor. Bbo bos seen much "glo ry,” and has received unlimited adulturation, but ihe hardly ever enjoyed a thoroughly peaceful month in her life during the life of her husband.

No matter if persons are rich or have large in comes, they should be economical To waste is wicked. There arc hotter ways to speud money and £Ood* than to waste them. It is the poorest use they can te put to. Many people would bo economical if they knew how. Itisauatt to praclico economy. To do it well one must know the art. All can Imve it if they Will. It Is ah lirftH- uieticiil art. It is tho conclusion of numbers. All must live and ought to live well, but how to livo best at tho least expense is the work of figures to tell. Wo ratHt couut tho cost of (Vats and use ex pensive articles of food and dress when cheaper ones would bo in every way better and more service able. Especially in regulating the table expenses is there a great want of economy. A little useful information concerning tho quali ties of food, the amount and hind of nutrition matter tliey contain, tho wants of tho human system and the best way of cooking, would often save fully one-third andj in many'instances, half tho expense. A wise economy in table expenses is favorable to heulth, and in this way save* time, drugs, expense and doctor’s bills, flesh, strength and happiness. How Girls aro Mado Pretty, The Hindoo girls aro graceful and exquisitely formed, their earliest chifdbood they are accustomed to carry burdens on tlicir heads. Tho water for family uso is always brought by the girls iu earthen jars carefully poised in this way. This exerciso is said to strengthen the muefca of the back while tho chest is thrown forward. No crooked backs arc seen in Hin dustan. Dr. Henry Spry, a medi cal officer, says "that this exercise of carrying small vessels of water tho Head might be advantage ously introduced into our privato families, on-1 entirely supersede tho present machinery of dumb bells, back-boards, skipping ropes, etc. The young Indy ought to bo taught to carry the jar as there Hindoo women do, "without touch* ing it with her hands.” The same practice of carrying water lends to precisely tbo same results in tho south of Spain, and in tho south of Itally as in Indio. A Neapolitan female peasant will carry on her head a vorscl full of water to tbo very brim over a rough rottd and not spill a drop of it, and the acquisition of tbit art or knack gives her the same erect ■ml clastic gait, and the same ex panded chest and well*formed back and shoulders.—* Good Cheer. A backwoodsman promised to send tbe minister 6D pounds ot maple sugar tor marrying him. Tuno passed cn and no maple su gar arrived to sweeten tho minin' tor's household. Rome months later he saw tho nowly married In town and r vcnturrd to remind him, "My friend, you did not •end the maple sugar you premia* ed.” With a saddened counte nance tho than looked up and re plied: "To tell you the truth, governor, she ain’t worth it.” A medical journal itatee that the aterage Chinese baby weighs bat five pound*. The journal did not state whether the Chiueso ba by's capacity for equalling was lee*, iu proporlion to weight, than that of any other b&by, but if they howl m the Chinese language ae loud as tbe American kid does in the Unit ed States language, bow the poor mother mult suffer. If any one has ever heard two CbloRtftcn hold ing a convention in their native tongue, they can readily see that a child who is just learning to lisp a few aylahlea in thft Chinese lan guage would make Rome howl.— Peck's Sun.
