This was all but realized in the ascent; the guide had forgotten to give the cry which should stop that flight to all down comers un til we had passed; and as I Uiadly worked my way .up, my first intimation of danger was some clumped foot coming rudely in contact with my miner’s cap.. ths depth to which I descended I can form no' notion.

In deed, my cicerone persuaded me I had gone down forty-two of them., However this may be, the depth of “ Birch wood shaft” stands in the gnide-book as over 1,300 ell's; and the “ Murder Mine” is deeper still.

Let us say a word or two in season against limitless washing—a matter which has become a. serious nuisance among the higher classes, and even begins to threaten the lower. It has come to that pass, that one gentleman thinks another nnclean who does not step from bis bed every morning into a tub of ice-cold water. Cleanliness is virtue, of course; but when a man allows himself to be puffed up with the consciousness of using a shower-bath, or gives hinself airs upon the strength of flesh-brushes, his selfrigfateonsness has evidently passed be yond its due bounds. Why'sbould this manly virtue be made the subject of boastfn 1 triumph? If 1 am beautiful, (which 1 am), and take pains with my personal adornment, I don’t remark how neatly my hair is parted to eVery acquaint ance whom I happen to meet, and who, more over, can see it for myself; if I cultivate my mind, (which I do), I don’t brag to my friends of bowjmany encyclopaedias I have swallowed lately. Why, then, should J exclaim; “ Ha, ha, lam warm; lam all in a glow; nothing like a cold shower-bath.” Then.(contemptous ly): “Ton don’t take shower-baths; ah, I sboald’t think I was washed unless I took a shower-bath.” Now, I meet ten of these fool ish physical fanatics for one who is a prey to spiritual pride. Even more than ifor inordinate washing is the presentyhror for a superabundance of fresh air within doors. Ton may take a horse to wa ter—l. mean you may take a man to a shower bath in the depth of January, but you can’t make him pull the string; but if you ventilate yomj house according to the latest improve ments, and be is fool enough to accept your in vitation to come and see yon, he.is perforce ex posed to every wind that blows there.

Look straight before you, and stand up (For your rights like a man— the ladies can contract a little, if they see there is no help for it. Don’t talk literature and the fine arts to the pretty girls of'your acquaintance until you are sure they know the difference between Thomp son’s Seasons and Thompson's Arithmetic.— And if they look particularly sentimental, then you may know that they don’t understand what you-are talking about. -Don’t ask a nice , little girl about her dolls, unless you.are very certain she has not “ come out,” and been engaged in two or three flirta tionj already. Don’t say complimentary things to a young lady at a party without first making sure that her “ intended” is not standing behind you the whole time. .Don’t accept a young lady's invitation to go shopping with her unless you have previously measured, the length of your purse. ; Don’t stay later than eleven o’clock when you spend the evening with a pretty friend— the wisest and wittiest man in Christendom bo comas a bore after that hour. Don’t believe any woman an angel.

An angel, indeed I If you do pot find ont pretty soon that she lacks considerably more than the vpngs, we are sadly mistaken. Don’t make up your mind about any crea ture in a belt ribbon and -velvet rosettes with out first asking your sister’s advice. Depend npon it, one woman can read another better in five minutes than you can in five years. And, above all,, do not imagine that yon must keep your lady talk and gentleman talk in Separate budgets, labeled and sorted, unless you want the girlsj to laugh in their sleeves at your wishy-washy sentimentalism.

Philander —Yu ask me which- is the most beat, the marrid or the single qondishun ? Most evry bdcMy, at sum time in theiq life, haz tride the single state ; also, most evrybody haz hankered after the doable state, or marrid con dishnn.

Economy in a Family. —There is nothing which goes so far toward placing young peo-, pie beyond the reach of poverty os economy in the management of household affaires. It mat ter* not whethera man furnishes little or much for his family, if there is a continual leakage in bis kitchen or parlor ; it runs away, he knows not how, and that demon Waste, 1 cries “ More I’’ like the horse-leech’s daughter], until he fhat provided has no more to give.

The husband's interest should ~be the wife’s care, and her. greatest ambition to carry her no farther than his welfare or happiness, together with that of her children 1 This should be her sola aim, and the theater of her exploits in the bosom or her family, where she may do as much toward ma king a fortune $s she can in the counting room or workshop. Take Him Odt.—A scrub head boy haying been brought before the court as a witness, the following colloquy ensued: “Where do you live?” said the Judge. “ Live with my mother.” ' “ Where docs your mother liye?” “ Sue lives with father.” “Where does he live 7” “ lie lives with the old folks." “ Where, do they' livaW says the Judge, getting very red, as an audible snicker goes round the room. “ They live at home.” “ Where in thunder is their home V’ roars the Judge. “That's where I'm from,” says the boy, sticking his tongue in a corner of his cheek and slowly closing one eye on the Judge. “ Hero, Mr. Constablfe,” says the coart, “take the witdess out and tell him to travel; ho evidently does not understand the nature of an oath." ■ I “You would think different,” says the boy, going toward tha doorway, “if I was once to give yon a cussin’ 1” A ladt, who was very modest and submiss ive before marriage, was observed by a friend to ose her tongue pretty freely afterwards. “ There was a time when I almost imagined she had none.”“ Yes,”j said her husband, with a sigh, “ but it's very long since.” The so-called instinct of animals—the ass which perceives the angel presence sooner than the prophet—ought ’to be regarded as. the greatest miracle of creation. *7 A young lady refused to go into the Water vliet Arsenal the other day, because she heard that some of the muskets yrcre without breech es.
