your dress that you know the style, hut, for
thZ best of ressons,disregard its more extreme
demands., The best possible impression. that
1 you can make by your dress is to make no

_There is an every malt what . , may be called

of the dress should he developed and unfolded.
This dress-center, - orxpritnary dress-idea, is
different id different persons, but, is always
above the waist. The cravat,the vest, the
hat, the bosom; the coat-collar, may .any of
them be this idea. It is always safe to locate
it about the chest and neck. A beautiful
cravat, sustaining a faultless dickey, is abont
all a min can sustain without damage,in the
way of elegant dress. This should form the
center. The vest ihould harmonize, but tile
modest,aud all other robing should be Shaded
off, until there -is not an obtrusive. feature.
Extremities will then only be noticed. These
should be faultlessly dressed,but in a manner
dither to satisfy than_ to attract attention.
Everything should be subordinated to this
idea ' • the whole dressshould bow to the cis',
vat. Every man who has made dress a'siuy
knows very well, that ten dollars a ye.r,
spent about the neck will go further
than fifty dollars spread upon the person.
Coarsest clothes, developed from an elegant
neck-tie, er an elegant central idea 'of any
kind,become - elegant themselves, and receive
and envolve a glory which. costs absolutsily
nothing at all, except a few brains, some con
aideration, and the reading of this letter.
One sees the demonstration of this in trav
eling. We meet multitudes from all quar
ters and of different nationalities. One, and
he is usually a Yankee, wears the best :of
broadcloth, end the costliest of coats, and
looks •vulgar, while another, with single
stamp of good taste upon him,at some central
point, is a. gentleman - at half price. Rib
elo lies are really a sign of mental poverty.
Let he secret of good dressing be thoroughly
leas ekand we shall bear comparatively little
of the cost of dress. Let each young man
choceie'his central idea, plant it and develop
it ; and if he has good cotumon sense be will
find that he can dress better than he 'ever
could before, with the expenditure of half the
n 3 :nsey it has usually cost him. -1,.•
SAWDUST PUDDING AND PLANK! ,

.. I hare noticed that most • writers of books
for young trisn.have a good deal to say about
diet and regimen; and physical culture, and
all that sort of thing,those knowing the least
of these important_ subjects invariably being
the most, elaborate end specified in - their trept

sins committed - in this basiness. All the
square curses-I accumulate I dedicate to those
white-livered, hatched-faced, thin-blooded

BEARDS;
Ishould s be unjust td the age were I to
omit the Mention of aspecial point of'physi

_find as yot4 come into man's estate that hair

is-the mark' by which God meant that men
and women should be distinguished from
each other in the crowd. The hair was plac
ed there in infinite wisdom,'but your fathers I
have been cutting it off from their'chins . in
smaltcrops from- thirty to fifty yea's, thus
imptigning nature's policy, wasting precious
time, drawing a , great deal of good blood,
creating a great deal of bad,and trying to eta%
from- their faces the difference which was

tended to be maintained between them and
those of women. If you are a man,and have
a beard, wear it. 'You know it was made to

TALKING IN ~ECSTATICS.
And now I am . on the subject of talk, it
will be well to say 'all I have to say upon it.
It is a very, commorrthing.for a young woman
to indulge:in hyperbole. A pretty dress is
very apt to be "perfectly splendid-" a disa
greeable person is too often "perfectly ' hate
ful ;" a party in which the company enjoy
themselves, somehow becomes transmitted
into the "most delightful thing ever seen?' A
young Man of respelctable parts and Manly
bearing is very often "such a tna,gaiticent
fellow !" The_ adjective "perfect,"that stands
so much alone as never' to have the privilege
of help from comparatives and superfaiives,
is sadly o ff er-worked,in company with several
.othenkof the intense andarid extravagant order.
The result is
: Out,. by Abe use of such

when you have met with something which
really is superlatiVely great and good, the
terms by which you would distinguish it have
all been thrown.away upon inferior things—
that you are bankrupt in expression. If a
thing is siinply good, say so ; if fine, say so ;
if grand, say so , if sublime, say so ; if pretty,
say so; if magnificent, say so; if splendid,
say so. These words, all have diffe r ent mean
ings and -you may say them all of as many
different subjects,, and not use the word "per

will probably be obliged to save it for appli

that serene rest which remains for those who
love him.
THE YOUNG WIFE
Young wife, I talked 'to your hushand in
my last letter, I now address you. I told him
that you have a claim on his time and society.
There are'qualificittions of this claim which
concern you particularly, and so I speak to
you about them. Your husband labors all
day—every day and during the Waking hours,
between the conclusion of his labor at nights
•end its Commeneement in the morning, he
must have recreation of some kind ; and here
comes in your duty.
If you do not make his borne pleasant, so
that the fulfillment of his fluty to you'shall
beta sweet pleasure to him, You cririnot hope
much of his company, , What; his nature
craves it will have—it must have. Ile can
not be a slave all the time—p slave to his
work by day and a slave to you b y night. lie
must have hours of freedom .; an d happy are
you if, of his own choice, he take the enjoy
ment you offer in the place of anything which
the outside world has to give. I suppose
there are few men, *ho,..when their work is
over, and their supper eaten, do not have a
desire to go down town "to meet a -man or
visit the post-office." There is a natural de
sire in every heart to have,every day, an hour
of sOcial freedom—a few minutes, at least, to
walk in the open air, and contact with the
'minds of others men- This is entirely a neces
sary and natural thing ; and you should en
courage rather than to:seek to prevent it un
less your husband is inclined to visit bad
places, and associate with bad Companions.
Precisely here is a dangerous point for
bah husband and wife. The a ife has been
alone during the day, and thinks that her
husband ought to spend the whole evening
1 0 : 1is k le — bor r tai hu i s o b n a gf b r a e% - be
fsVe
aotnon whatever uncuttuAry ru,
to wander. Perhaps the wife thinks he has
no business to wander at all, and thkt his
custom•is to wander too widely and too long.
Sbe complains and becomes exacting. She
cannot bear to have her hushlnd out of sight'
for a moment, after be quits his work. Now,
if there is anything in all this world that will
make a husband hate his wife, it - is a constant
attempt on her part to monorolize all his
leisure time and all his society, to curtail his
freedom, and a tendency to be eternally fret
ting his ears with the statement that "she is
nothing, of course," "that he does not care
anything about her," and that he "dislikes
home." Treatment like this just as c e rtainly
rouse all the i e-ve a •ncas of a man's nut ire as
a spark will ignite gunpowder. Injustice and
inconsiderateness will not go down,especially
when-administered by a • man's. companion,
Ile knows that he loves his , home ; and that
he needs and has a right toe certain amount
of his time, away from home ; and if he be
treated as if ha possessed no such necessity
and right, be will soon learn to be all that
his wife represents him to be. I tell you .
that a man wabts a very careful handling.
You Must remember that he can owe rio duty
to you which does not involve a duty from
you. You Nava abo-vharge of the home, and
if. you expect - him to spend a portion, or all
of his evening in it, yip meat in* it attrac
tive. If you expect a man, as a matter of
duty, to give anit considerable amount, of ,
time to your society, daily, through A long
series of years, you are to see that that socie
ty
is worth something to him. Where are
your accomplishments 3 Where are your
bOoks 3' Where are your subjects for conver
sation I
But let us take up this question separately- :
How shall a wife make her home pleasant and
attractivei This, is- a short question, but a
full answer would make a book. I can only
touch a few points. In the first place she
must never , indulge in fault-finding. If a
man has learned that he will invariably be'
found fault with byhis wifi on his ret ern borne
and that the burden of her words svill.be com
plaint, he has absolutely no pleasure to anti
cipate and none to enjoy. There is but one
alternative for a husband in such- a case—
either to steel himself against complaints, or
to be harrowed up by them, and made snap
pish and waspish. They never produce a
good effect, under any circumstances what
ever. There should always be a pleasant
look and word ready for him who returns
i from the toils of the day, wearied with earns
ing the necessaries of the family. If a pretty
pair of slippers lie before the_fire ready for his
feet, so much the better. -
Then, again, the desire to be pleasing in 1
person should never leave a -wife for a day. I
The husband who comes home at night, and
finds his Wife dressed to receive him—dressed
neatly and tastefully, because she wishes to
be pleasant to his eye—cannot, unless he be
a brute, neglect her,. or slight her graceful
pains-taking. It is a compliment to him.
It displays a desire to maintain the charms
which first attracted him, and keep intact the
silken bonds which her tasteful girlhood has
fastened to his fancy. ' s
I have seen things managed very different
from this. I have known an undressed '-bead
of "horrid hair" worn all day long, because
nobody but•tbe husband would see it : I
have seen. breakfast dresses with sugar • plan.
tations on -therm of very respectable size, and '
most disagrpeable thickness. • bleb art I have
seen slatterns; whose kiss would not tempt the
' hungriest - hermit that ever forswore woman
and was sorry for it. I have seen them with
neither collar nor sone, with a person who
did' not possess a single charm. :to A hue
-1 band with his eyes open and in his -right
saiiad. This is ail wrong. young wife, for
there is no being in this world for whom it is
so much for *
o your "int4nist to dress as`foi r Your
husband: 'Your happininsa- lien& thilour
retaining not only: the esteem of your hos
band,-,but -his admiration., lie , should see
no greater neatness; and no.,,more
.taste in
material and /aims, in any woman's dress
thin'in yours ; and there
_is no individoal in
the `world before' whom you'Always appear
with more thorough tidiness of person than
your. huaband. If von, are careless in this
partieular, you absolutely throw away some
of the strongest and most channitig influenCes
which you possesi: 'What' is true of your
person_ is-also tree of 'yClut . :house. - If your

tossed into the room from a cart ; if your
table=cloth have a mom intimate acquaint
ance with, gravy than with soap, and from
cellar to garret there be no order, do you
'blame a husband for not wanting to sit
down and spend his evenings with you I I
should blame him, of course, on general
principles; but, as all inen are not so sensible
as I am, I should charitably entertain all
proper excuses.
Still, again, have'you anything,to talk a
bout—anything bettor than scandal—with
which to interest and refresh his weary mind?
I believe in the interchange of 'Caresses, as I
have told you before, but kisses are only the
spSce of life. You cannot always sit on pier
husband's knee, for in the first place it would
tire him, and in the second place he would.
get sick ofit. You should he one ;with your
huaband, but never shape of a parasite:
lie should be able to ties growth in your soul,
independent of him ; and Irhenever he truly
feels that he has received from you a stimu
li's to progress and to. goodness, you have
refreshed him and made a great advance in
to his heart. '
Ile should see that you really have 'a strong
desire to make him happy, and to retain for
ever the warmest place in his respect, his ad
miration And his affection. Enter . into all
his plans with interest. Sweeten all his
trqubles with your. sympathy. Make Lim
feel that there is one ear always open to the
revelation of his experiences, that there is one
heart that never misconstrues him, that there
is one refuge forJa!rn In all. circumstances ;
and that in all weariness of body and soul,
there - is one warm pillow for his head,beneath
which a heart is beating with the same un
varying truth and affection, through all glad
ness and sadness, as the faithful chronometer
suffers no perturbation of his-rhythm by shine
or shower.
A husband who has such- a wife as this,has
little temptation to spend muob time away
from home. He cannot stay away long at a
time. He may "meet a man;" but the man
will not long detain him from his wife! He
may go to the ':post•oftice," but he will not
call upon the friend's wife on the way. lie

ENGLISH CHRISTIANITY FROH AL CHINESE
POINT oF.VrEw.—A correspondent of one of
the daily papers, writing from China; gives a
very interesting account of some of the inter
views between our Commissioner, Mr. Reed,
And the Chinese officials. The following in
cident„ which comes in by way of episode.
indicates that English Christianity does not
rank particularly high among the Celest•
ials:
"The Rev. Mr. Martin, Mr. Reed's inter:
preter, took occasion to distribute some
Christian Almanacs among the Mandarins
composing the Chinese commission. Wang
Yalaoyta turned over the leaves until he came
to the Ten Comtnandments, and ran his eve
hastily over them until it rested on the tenth,
when 11 - e exclaimed : • ° -
"Admirable 1 this is indeed equal to the
teachings of our holy sage Confucius. if all
men would obey this precept, how happy
the world Would be I"
- MG Martin, not forgetting his function ns
an-interpreter of the thy iDe•Law, took this
for a text, and recapitulating the_ whole Lice
alogue' _ discoursed to an attentive audience
of the first minds in the Province concerning
their relatibns as creatures of God, and Mem
bers-of the human family.
"But what nations," asked Wang, "besides
your honorable country, profess the Christian
faith r
- France, England, and—" .
'No," interrupted Wang, "not. England.
They - can't profess the Christian faith, for if
tlieydid, they timid observe the tenth com
mandment, and not covet our cities or lands;
and the sixth (sth) which they would not
violate as they do, kr • vending opium, and
diffusing death and misery throughout our
I provinces." , •
The idea of .England being 'a- Christian
l nation was too much for Wang's credulity.
Is stuck in his mind. .
Another meeting ccettred between Mr:
Mai:tin' And. some other - Americans and these
Mandarins the next day, and the letter writer
alluded to says that throughout. the whole
interview Wang sat with the Almanac
vitich be \ had received on the preceding day
before hith, and with his hand at the Dees
logue,re•asserted his corrviction that 'England
c annot be' a Christian nation:
Er The ,delicate and interesting_ opera
tion of transferrin g blood from one person to
anotber,has again _ successfully performed
by Dr. Wheatcraft, an. English surgeon, in
the case of a female patient. When appa
rently expiring from loss of blood, about two
pounds were transferred from the veins of her
husband into her veins, with the most, favor
able result. In a few - minutes after, the cur
rent of blood began ,to flcnv, and the

in no Way connected with the Republicans,

Wheat has never been so certain a crop as
Indian corn. it is a more 'Captions plant in
its wants, and. Own brive more ctireful Sited

ter. If it be not already dry it should be
made so. The soil should be deeply stirred
with a subsoil plow to let the rains pass down
quickly and to give air to - the roots of the
plants; More wheat is winter by stag- -
nant water : freezing around , the plants, than
by any other cause. The deep : stirring of the
soil is also a help in Suminer tharcling the
crop against drouth, If the hand is .not under

with deep dead furrows to give the-. water a
chance to pass off itito theM.
Sow Early. The experience; of wheat
growers is • very uniformly in favor of early
,sowing. The sooner it , is put in after the first
,of this Month, the better. The roots have
time to get a strong hold of the soil and are i
