On the wjv in, the lather raised the rejoiced child in his arms, and gave it two or three resounding smacks; an ither oui· had crept to (he door-sill, and litis wa.· lifted also, and its little cherk laid tenderly upon the ihotildor, which was hunched up to bring it close to that of the fath« r's. By this limp, ihe wife had brought ι bowl of water, and a white. Coarse towel ; then she took the children down, applying also sundry pats, now on the shoulders of the little one·, anil now on the broad, fatherly ones; and now the chairs were placed a: the table, an 1 while the husband gave a last rub t>f ili« hard, rough hanils, he slietchtd out his neck and kissed the pietty, pitlish wile, who would be hovering near him. They said grace, they dined at (In· plain, wholesome board, and more than or.ee I found myself wafting them a benedic tion with the tcais in tny eyes It i« so brutish to pass without a word of recognition of the ( >reat (liver.

In adjusting the household, I would havo the pair mutually helpful, but there are certain matters that look handsomer in the hands of a woman than in ι man. I think he, as a gentleman, who should be ht· dependent of all others, ou^ht to bo able to broil a steak, mend a rent or "sew on a button ;** but it is more suitably the province of a woman to do these things, the husband being supposed more profitably employed else wise. Κ very woman should be able lo cut and mako household linen and garments with economy, neatness, and dispatch. She should cut her work, and always have a piece ready for the needle to husband her time, and avoid hurry and confusion, and lastly, my Κ» ν fly married pair must so man age tin; net· Uni work ol th> household, that on·· hour at least in the twenty- fo.ir be de voted to reading and study—good, solid, substantial bouk.s to be rea I with rare, for mutual advancement of thought and solid it ν of character ; poetry an 1 romance also, to elevate ami enliven, not forgetting the great store-house ol our spiritual ideas, the IJible. Human beings have not yet reached any v. ry hi^Ii degree ol perk-· tion ; even my handsome pair m:»v f ill into error, and then the interfèrent e of < is very apt to increase the evil, bul let th> m settle the ra»e between themschc-, remembering that the greater the la 11 the greater the need id a dear loving hand to lilt ;is up, and the worse we may become the more shall we need friend»; no true wife will turn from the man of her choice in the day of hi* adversity, nor in the day of his moral dark ness, rallier will she love 1 : η with a dcept r, because t f a sorrow,ng tenderness, and she wdl lead him en. step by step, till be more ilia i roi-iwi the ground h·.· may have lost. Sympathy οΓ tho Sliuci with the body. All are aware of the won lerlul inllucnec exerted by the conditi η of the body upon the faculties ami affections of the mind. The following is fr«.m an essay on indiges tion by l'r. Jai. John-on, concerning r mi·· very remarkable fads : "Many a happy an J h kv thought his -;>inn : from an empty stomach!
