** Yen Should Get JG*Mio<c.
It you shcnM o'er gel married, John.
I 11 tell yon Ivlev to do—
. Go get a little tenement
J übt big enough for two;
And one apate room for company,
And one Rp;ire bed within it—
If youM b gin Loro’s life nrtght,
Vou httd better I It us begin it
/u furniture lie moderate, John,
Aud let the stuffed chair* wait;
One looking glass wilt do for both
4 ourself and loving mate ;
And lirubbela* too, and other things
Which make a fine appeal Race,
If you can better afford tb. y
Hill better look a year hence.
Some think they must have pictures, John,
Superb and costly too ;
our wife will l*e a picture, John,
Let that suffice for you.
Remember how the wise man said,
A tent, with love witiiin it,
/s better than a splendid house,
With bickering; every minute.
And one word as to eooktng. John,
Y’our wile can do the best—
For love to make the biscuit rise
is better far Ilian yeast ;
No matter If each day you’ dou-’t
Wring turkey on the table,
’Twill better relish hy-aud-by,
When you are better able.
For all you buy pay money, John,
Money earned every day—
If you would have your life run smooth,
There is no better way.
A note to pay is an ugly thing:
(If thing: you choose to call it)
TFhen it hangs o : er a man who has
No money in his wallet.
Au d now when you are married. John,
.Don't try to ape the rich—
it took them many a toilsome year
To g:ain their envied niche—
And if you’d gain the summit, John,
Look well to your beginning,
And what you win will well repay
21ie care and toil of wiuuiug.

TIJC Girls of (be i-*«‘rio<t.
Tho cry that earnest and noble wo
men are daily becoming more rare,
that tho places of the brave-hearted
and gentle are usurped by the frivo
lous and dissipated, is ono that is by
no means new. Two hundred years
ago t!m wits of England indulged in
tho same cant, and said the same
smart things in regard to the same
matter ; and long before that time the
prophet had asked the people of his
day, why they said that ‘the former |
days were bette: 1 than tlioso and re
buked them soundly by telling them
that they ‘did not consider wisely con
cerning the matter.’ Wo have heard
many ‘reverend gran: ses, both with
*will iilioilt p6ttlCouko, nt,
length upon *the degeneracy of tho
present day; no days like tho old !
days ; no such wise men now as those
that laid sage hands upon their young
heads ; no such mothers, and inferren
ti ally, no such young men aud women
now as they were in tlieir prime. The
skios are as blight to-day as they ever
were since human history began to re
cord the changes of tho years; statis
tics show that the men of to-day aro
larger, stronger, longer-lived and less
vicious than those who lived five hun
dred years ago, and among the women
there are hearts as brave and true, na
tures as warm and affectionate, minds
as intelligent and souls as noble as ev
er existed among our grandmothers, of
either sex. Our girls may dress nioro
gaily, and perhaps enjoy amusements
more keenly than did the women of
the last century; I wit what of that ?
If the chemist of the period is able to
rival the famed Tyri m purple, shall
liis sister—the girl of tho period—be
condemned to wear dingy 'madder ?
And if better education and wider op-
portunities have enabled hor to enjoy
a Chickering or Stienway piano, is it to
be supposed that she will remain con
tent to iisten to a shepherd's rood or a
corn-stalk fiddle ? Those old croakers
forget two things: In the first place,
that the grandmothers of the period
j were once girls, as wild- as any girls
j that we have now ; and, secondly, that
tho greater refinement, the higher ed
ucation, and the nobler views of tire
modem girls are things that the old
fogies who have descended to us from
a former generation arc totally unable
jto understand. That file girl of tile
j period is perfectly able to rough it,
j perfectly able to live :'i a log house,
milk the cows, and ten 1 to the b ibies,
we have no doubt, lor'wt ;. ivo ecerr
lier do it on more than ono occasion,
when necessity required. But if she
should prefer the coarse associations
that accompany a life of what iscailo i
roughing it, to tho refined and (.lota
ling influences that in the nineteenth
century have made our b.'hri.-.tian
homes the nurseries of modern civili- ,
zation, she would deny her birth-right
and prove false to the intellectual op
portunities with which she has been
ao marvellously blessed.—Y7e Technul

Sensible. —We once heard a story
told of two men who once started to
gether one bright morning for a whole
day’s journey. The ouo reached his
destination before the sun had sunk
•behind the western hills, where lie
made himself comfortable at tho inn.
His only trouble wis concent for his
iaggared companion, lie thought
surely some evil must have befallen
him.
Long after dark his fellow traveler
arrived. When asked tho cause of
his delay, ho replied; ‘1 was obliged
to stop at every other house to whim
off the unmanly dogs that
me. Didn,t they hark at >WT,
also?’ ‘Yes,’ replied the other, ‘but 1
did not stop to whip them. 1 simply
told them they were ill bread curs,
and drove ou 1’
We arc generally losers in tho end, if
we stop to refute all the back-bitings
and gossipings wo may hear by tho
way. They are annoying, it is true,
but not dangerous, so long as we do
not stop to expostulate and scold. Our
characters are formed and sustained
by ourselves, by our own actions and
purpose, and not by others. Always
bear this in mind, that ‘calumniations
may usually be trusted to tiuio, and
the slow steady justice of public
opinion.— Ex.

THE NEW FUENCir MINISTER*.
j Washington Saturday, July 10.
j Mona. Paradol, in company with
Secretary Fish and one of tho Froncli
attaches, vi itod the White House at
noon to-day, and in a few moments
t'in President received them in tho
i Bine Room. Tho usual formal docla
! ration of friendship and good fueling
| were gone through. Secretary Fish
road tho President’s reply, which was
welcome aud assurance of good feel
ing, Jtc. Not the slightest allusion
was made in eithsr tho address or re
ply to the political situation. Mens.
Paradol was attired in a full court
costume, with side swords, &e. lie
retired as soon as the presentation was
over, and his exequatur as Minister to
the United IStatos for the Emperor of
the French was received anil accepted.
This afternoon live French minister
officially informed tho Secretary of
State that his government has ceased
peaceful relations with Prussia, and
that a declaration of war was being
promulgated, be. This official an J
nnunruinimt was transmitted to the
President by Secretary Fish.
THE PRUSSIAN MINISTER.
Shortly after Mens. Paradol had left
the White House. Baron Gorolt, tho
Prussian Minister, made his appear
ance, and find a short interview with
the President and Secretary Fish, in
the Blue Room. The subject of the
conference was the safety of tho dif
ferent North German lines oi steam
ships, &c. The President regretted
very much the state of affairs, but had I
no right to interfere. The Baron said
that ho had notified tho owners aud j
agents of those steamers that war had !
commenced, and suggested that tho ;
running of their lines be suspended. |
He said, however, that lie felt sure j
that they would probably disregard i
his warning, thinking, perhaps, that!
France would not attack the merchant i
marine without full proclamations, j&c.
The Secretary of State regretted the
non passage by our Congress of the
act to regulate commence, &c., for its
failure left tho Administration power
less. The Secretary said that the fact
of a large amount of stock in these
steamer's being held by Americans did
not change the matter. They were
North German bottoms, and could not j
therefore, come under our flag. The |
Secretary said that in all matters the t
best offices of this Government would j
bo used to either party.
THE POSITION or SPAIN.
From General Sickles it is learned
that tne Spanisli army is under fight
ing orders, and being got ready for
emergency, while the Spanish fleet of
fio-rs are vec, iving instructions under
seai, Ac, it is nut known what is to
bo the position assumed tsy the Span
ish government. The Cortes will meet
on *rrim*Sd-*.y next, the tilth ih.-Un:.
Among tho Diplomatic Corps here it is
generally believed that Spain will unite
with France. The Spanisa Minister,
however, is silent on the subject. Ilj
has not been to the State Depntnient
for several days, nor hr. he called on
the President.
There is a rumor hero this evening
among those who have the entre to the
Diplomatic Corps that it is known
among them that Prim is at the head
of tlie Spanish army, and that a spe
cial messenger was sent by him yes- i
terday to tlio French Emperor, that
continued communication lias boon
kept up between him aud Napoleon. !
It is said that he will join the ft roes of
Spain with those of France, so as to j
secure, in the event of success, the
Spanish throne for himself.
TUE OCEAN MAILS.
All the North German steamship
lines have ceased running, and our
foreign mails are stopped in Baltimore
and New York. Postmaster-General
CresWell is now engaged in effecting a
temporary arrangement wiili the Ca
nard au<l Inman line of steamers to
carry our mails. Several American
parties have put in proposition.-, to car
ry the mails in vessels under our flag.
These will receive proper consideration
next week. In tho mean v bile it is
thought certain that our mails will be
carried by the English lines next week.
Vice Admiral Porter said to-day that
it made no difference whether the
North German steamers carried our
mails or not, it would not bo necessary
for us to contract with the Cunard or
Inman linos. Ho said that tliero was
pi ntyof piivafe enterprise in this coun
try if our government would only sos
ter it. He insists that the matter will
be all right, and that tho mails will l>e
duly carried, anil in good shape and
speed, and under our own flag. But
he does not tell the secret of how it is
to be done as yet.
CONGRESS TO BE CONVOKED.
Tlie President is known to bo ad
verse to calling Congress together, but
said this evening that it looked quite
probablo that contingencies might soon
arise that would precipitate him to do
so.
The Way to make Exeunt “Gin
gerPop.”—One and half ounces of the
best ground Jamaica ginger, one
ounce of tho cream of tarter, one
pound of sugar, two sliced lemons ; to
all of which add four quarts ol boil
ing water, and a pint ol" yeast; let it
fertnent for twenty-four hours, strain
aud bottle it. In a week or two
it will be ready for use.

! Ma. loit .u :—Last Saturday morn
ing, I was tho witness of otreh a scene
as I pray God I may never ses again.
1 beheld a combat between u young
man and a rattle-snake, in which the
former was bitten, aud died in ten'
minutes thereafter. The particulars
of the terrible a fair, aro as follows :—■
On J? ridav last, a young man named
Graynor, asked nie to spend tho night
with him and go ’coon hunting the |
next morning, to which request I roa 1- |
ily assented. Wo started Cut about \
3 o’clock, a. m., and near day light tho 1
(logs opened on trail in the swamp of :
Bear Crock. Just after sun rise, the [
deep baying of the dogs informed us 1
that the game had taken a tree.
W’e proceeded to make our way |
tin o’ the bogs and tangloJ. b ush and
vines ill the direction of tho dog-, un- !
til we came to a small space of firm
ground, which was covered with a ,
low growth of oak hushes. Here vve j
halted a moment to listen for the dogs. I
We had barely paused, when wo |
wore stat tied by a loud, strange, rat-i
tliug oound b luing from beneath a ,
low, thick hush within a few feet of j
us. Though I had never hoard that j
peculiar noise before, 1 instinctively !
knew that it was a rattle-snake, and I 1
sprang back in terror, remarking,
•‘Graynor, let’s ieave bore.”
“What, IS said ho, “aro vou
afraid ?”
“Yes,” said I, “I am afraid.”
“Well, S , ’ lie coolly remarked,
“I am goong to kill tho snake; it
would be a pity to ieave such a fine
, fellow here. Ho, hero goes.”
| While Graynor was spoakiug, I
! caught a glimpse of the snake, which,
as nearly asT could judge, appeared
to bo about eight feet in lengtn, and
three inches in diameter in his larger
part. He was lying coiled up in per
fect circles, with liis head drawn back
in a tefribly grticoful curve, his small
black eyes sparkling, liis slender fork
ed tongue darting swiftly back and
forth, and liis brown nock swollen
with fatal wrath, while ever and anon
In* twirled liis warning rattles in the
air, with a harsh, blood-curdling
sound.
“For God’s sake, let’s go,” said I,
shuddering at the terrible sight.
“Don’t get scared,” said G. ; “just
1 climb a tree, and ho won t bite you.—-
fit ain’t every day All at a follow moots
j with such a line, large snake as this,
[ and it would’t do to lose him.”
He had picked up a small stick
about a yard long, aud while speak
ing was drawing back the bushes
from above tho snake so as to get a
sight of him. He threw his Yo it
o round over the bushes, and trumped
them and r.vn in eu a mauc.r la t il.o
monster was fauiy exposed to view ;
but just as lie did so, and before lie
iini ti ue to strike, the snake mode a
sudden spring at him, and I turned
away my face in horror. Tiie next
instant, Graynor exclaimed, “I’ve g it
him, by George !”
1 turned to look, an 1 with his right
| hand be wa: grasping fho snake by
J the neck in such a manner that no
j could not bite, whilo the monster was
\ gnashing his tooth most furiously an I
| twisting anti writhing in huge folds
around G.’s arms. All of a sudden in
soma unaocountablo manner, the
i suako freed his head, and quick as
lightning plunged his deadly fangs
l into G.’s right ciioek , when, dropping
!ou the ground, lie glided a few paces
' and again coiled himself up, keeping
j his head erect, aud ringing his fearful
rattles. G. turned deathly pale, paus
ed a moment, and then with his iittlo
stick advanced towards the snake.—
As ho did so, the snake made a spring
at him, but G. struck him with the
stick and knocked him back A sec
ond time tho snake sprung at him ;
I and he again knocktd ’him off with
the stick ; but before ho could stri >o
! a third blow, tho snake had male an
other spring and inflicted aaotner
wound in G. s arm. This time G.
again managed to seize tho monster
by tho neck ; and, dropping his stick,
he drew forth Ids pocKct kn'fj with
one hand, opened it with his teeth,
! and then deliberately cut oil’the snake’s
head., —blood spurted from tho trunk,
and G. still grasping tho snake whose
huge folds flapped and writhed around
him, turned towards me, staggered
and fell. I rushed up to him and
asked,
“What in the name of God can I do
for you ?”
“Nothing,’’ said ho calmly, “I’m
dying. Tell them good ” and his
features became frightfully contorted,
his eyes rolled over as if starting from
their sockets, and his black swollen
tongue protruded from his mouth.—•
Then he fixed his red, wild, stariirg
eyes upon me, aud heaved a deep
piercing groan ; a shiver passed over
iris frame, and then all was. still, and
was alone with the dead.
Marking the place as well as I could,
I hastened to a house we had passed
ou the road, some half mile distant
from tlie fatal tragedy. .Runners
were sent through tlie neighborhood,
and in the course of two hours, some
twenty of the neighbors had gathered.
We proceeded to tne place which i
found no difficulty in pointing out.
Good heavens ! what a sight met
our view. The lace and body had
turned to a deep purpte, and were
swollen to three tunes tne natural size,
presenting the most iiorrible appear
ance 1 had ever witnessed. The snake
lay where he hail been thrown, and
was still writhing.
A litter of boughs was hastily eoa
struct'xl, and witu heavy hearts we
took our v*uy to the rosidaoco of his

1. Baths should not be taken with
in at least ono hour before eating, nor
within two hours after; and not with
in two hours before, and three hours
after, is still better.
The reason for this is, that in bath
ing, the blood is br tight to the sur
face in large quantities and circulates
freely in the capillaries of the skin,
being drawn away from internal or
gans and generally diffused through
the whole body, and the more freely
this external circulation and warmth
is kept up, the more refreshing and
invigorating the bath becomes, and
the greater the benefit derived from’
it;' whereas, when tlio stomach has
recently been supplied with food, the
blood is diverted from the external
i circulation to the digestive organs to'
l HU PPIy the secretions and juices nec
essary to carry on tho digestive pro-
I cess. ' •
From those facts it will be eVrdfent,-
tliat if food be taken into the stomach
1 too soon after a bath thq blood is di
rected to tho stomach before a' full re
action has taken place, thus interfer
ing with its beneficial effects ; whilo
on the other hand, if the bath be tak
en too soon after a meal, the blood rs
diverted from the digestive organs be
fore digestion is completed, and thus
a very important function of the body
is interfered with.
In cases of active congestion'or in
flammation, in fevers, or in severe
pain and distress, it may be necessary
to make water applications irrespective
of this rule.
‘J. The head and face should be
thoroughly bathed at the commence-
ment of every bath. This will pre
vent tlio rushing of blood to the head,
an l ward off unpleasant sensations.
8. A hath should never be taken
when tho body is exhausted, or too
greatly fatigued by exercise, as a per
son in such a condition would not be
likely to secure the proper reaction
and warmth. Moderate exercise be
fore a bath is usually beneficial, as it
accelerates the circulation and secures
a comfortable degree of warmth which
is always desirable before taking a
bath. There is no danger from tak
ing a general bath white in a p&tspi
ration, providing no fatigue accompa
nies it; for ‘ho sitz and foot Baths,-
however, it; is better that tho body be'
warm, but not perspiring.
-I. All general baths should be taken'
briskly, and tlio bather himself, if able,-
.mould rub v g<>imisly, that he may
quicken lii ci dilation and respiratiory
and thus secure the wanuth and glow
i;c- reaction that is so essential after
every bath ; this should be observed,
not only while in the bath, but in rub
bing dry after it.
i o. For drying the body after a gon
: oral bath,a strong linen or cotton sheet
is much butter than towels; this
' should be for an adult, at least two
yards square, so as to envelop the
whole body like a cloak, aud with it
: ho should bo rubbed or Fab himself
till thoroughly dry—by using tho sheet
lor v iptug, the body is protected from
tho air, the escapa of heat is prevont
■, and there is much less liability to
feel chilly afterward- towels will suf
fi o, however, fur ail ioeai applications.
ti. At the completion of tire bath,
the bather should immediately dress,’
if able, exercise in the opin air, or en
gage in some active employment. If
not able to exercise, it is well to covor
up warm in lied for an hour or so and
sleep, if possible.
7. Very nervous persons or thoso
who : ■ digestions are much impaired,
or circulation imperfect and feeble, or
temperature below the normal stan
dard, should be careful not to uso cold
water to any great extent in bathing ;
it may nave a temporary beneficial ef
fect, but, in the end, their sufferings
will be likely to be increased.
8. Foobio invalids, consumptives,
persons subject to hemorrhage of tho
lungs or the stomach or those who
have just passed tho crisis in fevers or
other acute diseases, thoso suffering
from profuse discharges, such' as sup
purations, diarrhoea, cholera, etc., and
also females, 'luring tho menstrual pe
riods should avoid the uso of cold wa
ter as well as the excessive uso of it in
any form.— The Household.
Looking out vor Seights. — Thera'
are some people always looking out
for They cannot pay a visit,
they cannot even receive a friend, they
cannot carry on tho daily intercourse
of the family, without suspoeting some
offence is designed. They are as
touchy as hair-triggers. If they meet
an acquaintance in the street who
happens to be pre-oeeupied with busi
ness, they attribute his abstraction to
some motive personal to themselves
and take umbrage accordingly. They
lay’ on others the fault of thoir own ir
ritability. A fit of indigestion make3'

poisons, who never dreamed of giving
offence, arc astonished to. find some
unfortunate word, or some momentary
taciturnity, mistaken for an insult.—
To say the least, tire habit is unfortu

charitable view of our fellow-beings,
