Year. .520 00 $35 00 $60 00 â€"â€"There is no time spent so stupidly as that which inconsiderate people pass in the morning between sleeping and waking. He who is up may be at work or amusing himself ; he who is asleep is receiving the refreshments necessary to fit him for action ; but the hours spent in dozing are wasted, with- out either pleasure or profit. The earlier and more regularly you leave your bed the less often you will be confined to it. â€"Many a man lives with a. woman half a lifetime without ever suspecting that the wife of his bosom has really forgotten more than he ever knew. M any a. carpet knight who plumes himself on his wonderful skill in smashing hearts, is being mentally measured and intellect~ ually turned inside out by the smiling girls whom he thinks he is captivating. Many a veteran beau, who pulls on his gloves to depart, feeling proudly consci- ous of having made a profound impress- ion on the susceptible soul of the belle, who has endured him for an evening, would be wonderfully enlightened, if not edified, could he hear the sigh of relief which escaped her lips when the clang of the door announced his departure. â€"Young men you are wasting your time in dissipation and folly, you who sneer at the foibles of women, and say you cannot marry because you cannot afford the luxury of a wife, reflect a little ; think of the money you foolishly month or so, will be as a thing of tliel throw away every week ; think of the past.

THE TOAD.â€"I had a. plant dreadfully infested with wood lice, almost destroyed by them, and a toad located itself close by as its protector, and in order to be ready in an emergency, he made in the mold a. hole all but deep enough to hide himself in, but not deep enough to pre- vent his having a thorough good View of the plant : and when a wood-louse, beetle or anything of the kind appeared near him or the plant, out he came and poun- ced upon itâ€"“You are mine I” This was wholly his work. I only watched him sometimes, greatly pleased at his success. Another time, as I was one day walking along a. path in the garden, I saw a toad approaching; the pace was quick for a. toad, but I soon saw what he was after. Just on before him was a. beetle which I expected to see caught, but ere there was apparently time for them to meet, the beetle had disappear- ed, so quickly that my eye was not quick enough to see it taken, but no doubt it was in the toad’s mouth, for I heard a click which told a tale of capture. Two other toads seem to have concerted between them how to not one evening so as to take a. border regularly, and in order to do their w01k well it appeared to be arranged that one of them should go on the border and the other stay out- side, having tlic box edging between them ; and so did their work of clearing, keeping just opposite the one to the other, though they could not see each other, and l was watching from the win- dow above.

A method has been brought forward in Bavaria. for rendering the hose of fire engines completely water-tight, so as to enable them to withstand the greatest pressure to which they may be subjected, and greatly increase their fitness for wear and service. In this case the hose are, after having been cleaned and dried, im‘ pregnated with a. mixture of 100 parts of glycerine, of 24 degrees R., and three parts of carbolic acid, which may be done either by drawing the hose through the solution, or, which is still more eff- ective, by brushing it well in. Thus certain amount of dampness, without, however, being in the least degree lia- ble to rotting, and so suffer deterioration in quality and durability, as is known to be the case when some other sub- stances are applied to leather. The brass fittings of the hose are attacked only imperceptibly by the acid contained in the composition ; but even this may be easily prevented by giving them be- fore impregnation a coat of weak shellac varnish, or by greasing them with tallow. The hose must be cleaned every time they have been used, dried, and impreg- nated anew with the liquid. As frost does not effect the mixture, hose thus prepared do not freeze easily at low tem- perature. How to Break ofi‘ Bad Habits.

A woman should always be a little younger, and a. little prettier, and a. little more eonslderate than her husband. He should bestow upon‘, her his worldly goods, and she should take good care of them. He may owe her every care and tenderness that affection can prompt ; but pecuniary 1n- debtedness to her will become a. burden. Better live on a crust that he earns, than a. fortune she has brought him. Neither must be jealous, or give the other cause for jealousy â€" neither must- encourage sentimental. friendships with the opposite sex. Perfect confidence in each other, and retiseence concerning their mutual affairs, even to members of their own families, is a. first necessity. A wife should dress herself becomineg whenever she expects to meet her hus- band’s eyes. The man should not grow slovenly, even at home. Fault-finding, long arguments or scolding, ends the happiness that commences with kissing and love-making. Sisters and brothers. may quarrel and “ make-up.” Lovers are lovers no longer when disturbance occur, and married people who are not lovers are bound by red~hot chains. If a man admires his wife best in striped calico, she is silly not to wear it. A Chinese Market. As I believe in the old theory which teaches us to judge man’s civilization by the food he consumes, I repaired to the market place. For fully half a mile the street was literally crowded with articles of food. Fish, pork, fowls, ducks, veg- etables of many kinds, and the fruit of the season lined its sides. Mushrooms were abundant and excellent, as I after- wards proved by having some cooked. Frogs seemed much in demand. They are brought to market in tubs and bas- kets, and the vendor employs himself in skinning them as he sits making sales. He is extremely expert at this particular branch of his business. He takes up the . frog in his left hand, and with a knife which he holds in his right, chops off the fore part of its head. The skin is then drawn back over the body and down to the feet, which are chopped off and thrown away. The poor frog, still alive but headless, skinless, and without feet, is then thrown into another tub, and the operation is repeated on the rest in the same way. Every now and then the artist lays down his knife and takes up his scales to weigh these animals for his customers and make his sales. Everyâ€" thing in this civilized country, whether it be gold or silver, geese or frogs, is sold by weight. Tea leaves, just as they come from the bushes, are sold in the markets, and those who have no tea. farms of their own can buy the raw material and prepare it to suit them- selves. How to Study to Advantage- Any man who is really anxious to study can do so infinitely better byl himself, with the help of books, than he can possibly do by' attending any lectures that may be delivered. It is hardly possible for any man, unless he attends a long course of lectures~which ' a. thousand unforseen accidents may pre- vent him from doing â€" to study in that manner any subject systematically and consecutively ; and, moreover, inasmuch as the lecturer has to address himself to a. very large number at once, and of different capacities, he most address himself in such a manner as to be under- stood by all. But a man who studies. and roads for himself can pick out for his reading that class of information ; which he is most capable of assimilatiug \ perfectly tight. snd digesting. health.

Amongst all' the pleasant things of life -â€"â€"-and the all-bountiful hand of Provi- dence has scattered the path of our days with innumerable pleasant things, if man would but enjoy themâ€"amongst all the pleasant things of life, there are few more pleasant than a. walk .in the flower- garden before breakfast on a sunshiny morning.

How calm do they stand in ihcir loveli- ness, how placid in their limited fruition of the elements that nourish themfihow, in their splendid miment, do they spar- kle in the sun, how do they drink up the cup of dew, and gratefully give back honey and perfume in return ! , First Floor Bedrooms. If we had a house with a bedroom on the first floor, we would at once abolish that room as a. sleeping appartment, be- cause we are satisfied that it is a wrong custom, it being much healthier to sleep upstairs. Many a family of which the members were suffering and weak in gen- eral, have been restored to a. vigorous and healthy condition by following our advice, which was to remove their bed- rooms upstairs ; to have their beds, summer and winter, exposed the whole day to fresh air from open windows (excep tof course, when there is rain or mist), also to have during the night one window partially open, even in winter, so as always to inhale the fresh, cool air from the outside, but using at the same time the precaution to have sufficient bed covering to secure warmth. A You can close cracks in a. cast iron stove by using wood ashes sifted through a. fine sieve, to which is to be added the same quantity of clay finely pulVerized, together with a. little salt. The mixture is to be moistened with water enough to make a paste, and the cracks of the stove filled with it. The cement does not peel offer break away, and assumes an extreme degree of hardness after being heated. The stove must be cool when the application is made.
