far enough past the atre of enthusiasm, but

Days, months rolled on, and the only
solace of the b. reived was to sit with ihe

heart. The bridal was not one ol revelrv
and mirth. Yet they lived happily, and
the rose Bfititi blossomed in the gard. n.

The influence of the Imagination on the
nervous system has, on some Occas oas,
produced efTecls bordering on . a" elate of
insanity. The following wbijh weeopy
from an exchange paper, is a caae in
"point :
"A few years since, Elijah ' Barns, of
Pennsylvania, killed a rattlesnake in his
field wiihout any injury to himself, and im
mediately after, put on bis son' waistcoat,
both being of oe color. He returned to his
house, and on his attempting to button bis
waistcoat, he found to bis asioni.hment that
it was much tn small. His imagination was
now wrought to a high pith, and he instant
ly conceived the idea that he had been bit
ten imperceptibly by the snake, and was
thus swollen from the poison. He grew
suddenly very ill, and look to his bed. . The
family, in great alarm and confusion, sum
moned Ihree physicians, and the usual rem
edies were prescribed and admiaistered.
The patient, however, grew worse every
minute, until at length his son came hnme
with his father's waistcoat dangling about
him. The mystery was lnstnutly unfolded,
and the patient, being relieved from hia
imaginary apprehensions, dismissed his phy
sicians, and was restored to health."
WHY SHOIXO AJtr OJfE SWEAR ?
I can conceive no reason why he should,
but ten reasons why he should not.
1. It is mean. A man of biuh moral
standing would almost as soou steal a sbeep
as swear.
2. It is vulgar ; altogether too low for a
decent man.
3. It is cowardly ; implying a fear either
of not being believed or obeyed. '
4 It is ungenllemanly. A gentlemen ac
cording to Webster, is a genteel man, well
bred, lefined. Such a one will no more
swear than go into the street le throw mud
w itn a loafer.
S. It is indecent ; offensive to deli
cacy, and extremely unfit for human ears.
6 It is foolish. "Want uf decency Ss
wan! of sense "
7. It is abusive lo the mind which con
ceives the oath, to the tongue w hich utters
it and 10 the persons to whom it is aimed. .
8. It is venomous showing a man's heart
to be a nest of vipers, and every time he
swears, one of them slicks out his head.
9 It is coutemptible-foifeiting the respect
of all the wise and good.
10. li ia wicked ; violating the law and
provoking the displeasure of Him - who
will not hold bim guiltless who takes his
name iu vain.
Economy in Fuel. Let the coal ashes
w hich are usually thrown into the dust bin,
be preserved in a corner of the coal hole,
and add to them fiom your coal heap, an
equal part of tha small coal or slack,, which
is tot) small le be retained in the gralc, and
pour a small quantity of water upon th
mixture. When you make up your file,
place a few lound coals iu front and threw
some of this mixture behind ; it saves the
trouble of sifting your ashes, .fives a warm
and pleasant fire, and a very small part only
will remain uiiburut.
Keep the Feet Warm. Paper being a
good non-conductor, il a piece laige enough
to cover the toes be placed uver them, anil
then the stocking diawu 011, the feet will
be kept warm, if the weather be dry ; the
kind of paper used by hardware dealers, is
the best common paper lo use for this per
pose.
