I 1 (i Agriciiltua-n.1. Ukdekdkainino. There are - very many farms, fields or, parts of nelds, that would well repay the owners to nn derdrain. We say vnrler-drain. Open ditches are nuimnf.e anywhere, and especially where sassafras, briars, and all kinds of foul weeds abound. The advantages of draining are numerous. We will speak of but three : L The land is more easily tilled. 2. It is more productive. 3. It removes the cause of malarions disease. Very many who realize and acknowledge its advantages are debarred by its exjeDRe, In many places, at a distance from factories, nar row boards are being used instead of tiles, and it is said they will laid almost a lifetime. Where wood is plenty. farmers have but little eicuse for work ing around unsiyhtty and unhealthy hog-boles year after year. But it is not enough that a dry melon and clean seed-bed is prepared. The good farmer will .' Ins land in good condition. The mam end with very many fanners seems to be to obtain the largest yield witn trie least possioie ex penne. Cheapness in obtaining a pres ent crop is not everything. The pru dent man will have an eve to the fu ture. He will see that, if he always takes away withont adding, the richest land will sooner or later become poor and unproductive, For years and years this exhaustive system has been fol lowed until a large portion of the once rich and productive soils are nearly worthless : and this exhaustion has been largely aided of late years by the use of tiie (so-called) concentrated fer tilizers, nthiiulatini the land to pro duce large crops, but always leaving it jioorer than before. Now, the man who floes this is like that oue in tue old ia ble who killed the goose that laid him daily a golden egg. He thonght there mnst be many eggs, but of course there was but one ; and be found wlien too late that he had foolishly destroyed tlm source of his wealth. Kkep tiie Soli Melixjw ARorvo Turks. Unless the surface of the ground is mulched around young trees over an area of six to ten feet in diame ter, the pronnd tdionld be kept clean and mellow. Every farmer knows that a lull of corn or potatoes will not amount to much unless cultivated, and yet there are mauy who will neglect to pive the same care to a tree wuicu is worth a hundred bills of either of the former. In rich soils trees m-y grow rapidly withont cultivation, and no amouiit of grass or weeds will retard them : but there are other things Ikv sidcs growth to 15 loosed after. If the weeds and grass are allowed to grow up around the stems of apple, IH-ach or quince trees, the bark will be- nie soft near their base by lieing shaded, and thereby be in a suitable condition for the reception of the eggs wliich will eventually become ieach or apple borers, lake any dozen young apple trees in sections where the apple tree borer is abundant, and allow a wrtiou to be cheeked with weeds and the remainder well cultivated, and then watch the result. From our own expe rience we believe that the chances are nine to one in favor of tboxe cultivated V-itjg exempt from this pest. Dhopy or Crop. When fowls are troubled with this complaint the crop is distended with an ill-swelling liquid, the appetite fails, and the birds are dull and disinclined to move aliout lu sneh cases we have opened the crop by making an incision about half an inch in length with the points of a pair of sharp scissors, and after allowing the liquid to escape, injecting with a common syringe some water and carbo nate of magnesia, with which the crop was well washed. The water was re moved thronghthe opening, the edges of the wonud in tue crop were tuen drawn together with a surgeon's stitch, alter which the wound in the skin was closed in the same way. The bird was then fed with soaked bread and milk, in which a little mag nesia was mixed, for a few days, and it recovered at once. This disease may le prevented by feeding the fowls occa sionally with bread and milk, or easily digested food, and giving some pre pared chalk or magnesia, or a pinch of copperas along with the food. Old Ant New Pasttres. The Country ! nllrman says the question is worthy of examination and close ex periment why is old pasture reputed to be so much better than new? Would not new le as good as old, if sown so thick that the new shall be as thick as the old, say with a bushel of timothy and clover jer acre? If not, why is the reason ? Why is not course, thinly grown pasture, better than old, thick pasturage ? home farmers of high re pute say that line, thickly sown corn fodder is of little value, and not to be compared with the fodder of corn grown in thin drills, with more space and un der the influence of air and Slight ? If full-grown well developed corn stalks are, like well-grown fruit, richer and ietter than small and thickly grown, why will not the rule apply to grass ? As we understand the question, thin grass is not poorer in quality, but there is not enough on an acre to satisfy a thrifty farmer. Hence the old idea of making two spires grow where one grew before. FitrxTNG Roses. The time to prnne rose bushes depends entirely upon the class or family of roses to be pruned. Without going into a systematic con sideration of the different species of the roses, for which we have no time just now, we will merely say that they are three grand divisions of the rose genus, each of which requires a mode of pru ning pecuhsr to itself. For the first class roses that bloom but once year summer roses as they are called we have always found it best to prnne them pretty severely as soon as the ie riod of blooming is over, unless it should be very dry, in which case we defer the pruning nntil just as the fall growth begins. By this course we get an abundance of young spurs or sheets, for flowering the next season. Dressing Black Hoos. A correspon dent says : The principal objection to the Essex and Berkshire breed of hogs I find to be their color. Now, as You att, justly observes, this is not skin ileep. The coloring matter will be found to be secreted between the true skin and the epidermis or outer skiu. If care is taken in scalding black hogs they can be dressed as white as any white hog. It is a well-known princi ple that ail black substances absorb heat. Hence in dressing black hogs the water should not be so hot as in scalding white ones. Instead of this color being an objection, I regard it as an advantage, for the skin of a black hog will always le fonnd to be smooth and glossy, free from cutaneous erup tions, and always clean. Asparagus. Cut off tops and covei the bed with coarse manure. Removt celery and bury in a trench, as deep at the plants are high as closely as it can be packed, and cover with straw as the advancing cold requires so says an old market gardener. Fresh planting oi rhubarb, asparagus, fruit trees, enr rants, gooseberries, raspberries and strawberries may be made now with profit, if well done, and the ground mulched where necessary during win ter. -Horses Masks Falling Oft. The Bbedding of hair from the manes and tails of horses can be prevented by washing the parts affected few timet in carbolic soapsuds. Or a wash made of lard oil, one pint, and aqua ammo nia, one gill, well mixed and rubbed in, will prevent the - falling of the Lair. We have found it effectual. Scientific. A Faw Words About Coal We see that coal-seams are the remains of an cient vegetable layers, formed under neath the trees of the ancient forest. Bat it is not to be snoDoeed that everv forest in those old times spread its shade over mass of decaying vegetable matter, nntil the time should come when the mass should be covered over with shale or sandstone. In order that coal-seams should be formed, it was necessary that the forest region should be so abundantly watered as to form a forest swamp like tbe cypress swamps of Mississippi. Yet, again, it was necessary that daring the fresh-water inundations which helped to accumulate the vegetable matter round the roots of the ancient forest-trees, no mad should be carried into the swamps. As Lyell says, "One generation after another of tall trees grew with their roots in mud. and their leaves and prostrate trunks formed layers of vegetable matter, which was afterwards covered with mud. which has since turned shale. Yet the coal itself, or altered vegetable matter, remained all the while unsoiled by earthly particles.' This is a fact which seems at first view altogether perplexing features of any natural enigma, geologists have been led by this difficulty to the interpretation of the enigma. It is to this very I act mat we owe the most trustworthy informa tion yet obtained respecting the pro cess by which coal-beds were originally formed. The solution of the difficulty is due to the same eminent geologist from which we have already quoted the statement of it "The enigma," he says, "however perplexing at first sight, may, I think, be solved by attending to what is now taking place in deltas. The dense growth of reeds and herbage which encompasses the margin of for est covered swamps in the valley and delta of the Mississippi is such that the fluviatile waters, in passing through them, are filtered and made to clear themselves entirely before they reach the areas in which vegetable matter may accumulate for centuries, forming coal if the climate be favorable. There is no possibility of the least intermix ture of earth matter in such cases. A quarter-inch rod of the best steel will sustain 9,000 pounds before break ing ; soft steel, 7,(HMI pounds ; iron wire, C,000 ; iron, 4,000 ; inferior bar iron, 2,000 ; cast iron, 1,000 to 3,000 ; copper wire, 3,000 ; silver, 2,000 ; gold, 2.5ml; tin, 3,000; cast zinc, 160 ; cast lead, 50 ; milled lead, 200. Of wood, box and locust the same size will hold 1,200 pounds ; toughest ash, 1,000; elm, 800 ; leach, cedar, white oak, pitch pine, C00 ; chestnnt and maple, 650: ioplar, 400. Wood which will ln-ar a heavy weight for a minute or two will break with two-thirds the force acting a long time. A rod of iron is alout ten times as strong as hemp cord. A rope an inch in diameter will bear about two and a half tons ; bnt in practice it is not safe to subject it to a strain of more than about a ton. Half an inch in diameter the strength will be one quarter as much ; a quarter of an inch, one-sixteenth as much ; and soon. Artificial Bone Black. The only process which allows of producing artificial decolorizing charcoals, ap proaching, in their properties to bone black, consists in impregnating woody matters with phosphate of lime dis solved in hydrochloric acid. Tbe phos phates are thus distributed as they are in natural bones. The mass thus pre pared is ignited. The difficulty consists in obtaining products of a sufficient density and mineral richness, and free from foreign salts. The charcoal ob tained has to be washed in excess of water to remove chloride of calcium, if joor coprolites have been employed. It is liest to use the coprolites found in small granules in the gray phosphatic chalk of Ciply. Crystalizatios of Tin. A fine crys talization of tin is obtained as follows : A platinum capsule is covered with an outer coating of paraffin or wax, leaving the bottom only uncovered. This cap sule is set upon a plate of amalgamated zinc in a porcelain capsule. The plati num is then filled completely full of a dilute and not too acid solution of chloride of tin, while the porcelain is tilled with water acidulated with 1-20 of hydrochloric acid, so that its surface comes in contact with the surface of the liquid in the platinum. A feeble electric current is set up, which reduces the salt of tin. The crystals formed after a few days are well developed. They are washed with water and dried quickly. Snake poison raises hnman blood to a high temperature and induces a putrescence which increases in rapidity as the temperature rises. The heart becomes sluggish, so that the putrid blood moves along the vessels very much like thick dirty water in a gutter with but little fall. It is this fatal condition that alcohol overcomes in cases of snake poisoning. It reduces the temperature of the blood and checks the putrid tendency. It also increases the action of the heart, which hastens the blood through the lungs and gives it opportunity for more copious oxidization. The true equivalent of one-half ounce avordupois is 14 2-11 grains, but the postal law allows 15 grains to be taken as the equivalent of the nominal half ounce. This is a difference of from 5 to 6 per cent. And in case of a busi ness house which has many heavy let ters to mail, in the use of metric instead of avordupois weights, there would probably be a saving of not less than 4 per cent in postage. It is barely pos sible that the Post Office Department applies the law only to foreign letters. Br PLrsoiNO a sheet of paper into an ammomacal solution of copjier for an instant, then passing it between two cylinders and drying it, it is rendered entirely impermeable to water, and may even be boiled in water without disin tegrating. Two, three, or any number of sheets thus rolled together become permanently adherent, and form a ma terial having the strength of wood. By the interposition of cloth or of any kind of fibre between the layers the strength is vastly increased. The yellow spots produced by nitric acid may be removed from brown or black woollan goods, while fresh, by repeatedly dipping them into a concen trated solution of permanganate of potash, and then washing with water. The yellow siots on the hands msy be removed in the same way, the brown stain produced by the permanganate being removed by an aqueous solution of sulphuric acid. Old stains cannot be removed by any process. Graphite, or plumbago, is believed to !e anthracite coal which has been subjected to the most extreme degree of mineralization or metaroorphism, being frequently fonnd in igneous rocks. It is often produced in blast furnaces, and is found in cast iron. It jonsists of almost pure carbon with a slight admixture of iron. Effect of Soap Water ox Ikcahdk -K'tsT Metals. A red hot copper ball, planged beneath the surface of water containing soap, remains quiet, being imrrounded with a thick envelope of vapor. Newspapers are now absolutely for biden in the Parisian guard-heuses, and stringent efforts are made to keep political journals wot of the btrracks. Domestic. . Restorative a NocRisHrso Broth. Slice three onions and dispose them in pipkin so as to cover the bottom of it, over them place a layer of fat bacon in slices a quarter of an inch thick ; over that put three carrots, cut in slices, so as to form another layer ; on this pat the following condiments judiciously proportioned viz : salt whole pepper, cloves, parsley, marjoram, and thyme. Upon this pat two calves feet chopped in small pieces, and one pound of beef free from fat and finely minced. Cover the pipkin and pat in on the fire, let it cook slowly for an hour, then fill np the pipkin with boil ing water so as just to cover tbe con tents, and let it simmer for an hoar longer. After that the liquor should be poured off without disturbing the contents. The liquor should now be strained through a napkin and the fat whioh will float on it should be taken off with some clean blotting paper, and the broth is ready for use. A teaspoon ful of sherry and small quantity of sugar, may be added if desired. This broth when cold will be a firm jelly. After the liquor is poured off the con tents of the pipkin can again be covered with boiling water with the addition of a few spice and sweet herbs, a couple of hours boiling will produce a second portion of broth nearly as good as the first. What is cow left in the pipkin is an excellent foundation for making some very good soup. Take all the cold meat that may be at hand, and pat into a boiler with the contents of the pipkin, adding more spice, herbs, pepper and salt, and vegetables if desied. Ponr over it three quarts of water and let it simmer for five or six hours, then strain and clear with the white of an egg. No 2. Proceed as in tho above as far as the layer of carrots and in putting in the spices, substitute mace and a little nutmeg for the cloves put in the calves feet, and instead of the beef have a fowl which must be cut and chopped into small pieces. Finish this in the same manner as number one. The sweet herbs and spices used will be fonnd very ap(etizing and the broth very nourish ing to the invalid. Good Economist. French people have a knack of making a little go a great way. In the first place, not an ounce of food is wasted in harvesting or preparing for market. In the next place, not an ounce more of vegetable, flesh, fish or fowl, groceries or liquids, than is really needed, ever goes into the pot or kettle, or is placed on the ta ble. The wife of every French family knows to a nicety, what quantity of each kind of food is the least that will suffice to make a comfortable meal, and not a particle more than that is cooked or served. There are no slop-buckets full of broken victuals left on a table, after breakfast or dinner, to be thrown on the street or manure heap, or flung to dogs or swine, as in America. No pieces of bread and meat, or vegeta bles, are thrown away ; such quantities are not bought as to become stale or spoiled in the cellar or pantry. Servants are never permitted to waste or steal food for poor relations, as in America. The housewife looks after the market ing, her kitchen, and her pantry, with sharp eyes and unflaggiug care. economy in the consumption of fuel for cooking and house-warming is immense, as compared with that in our wasteful country. One reason, of course, is. that wood and coal in France are scarce and dear. They cost at least double the price paid therefore in the United States ; but the domestic consumption is not one quarter as much. Soup. Cut some new carrots and some new turnips in the shae of peas, put them in separate saucepans with enongh stock to cover them, and a pinch of sngar. Keep them on the Are till the stock has all boiled away, but mind they do not catch to burn. Cook some peas and asparagus points in the same way. - Yon should have equal quantities of each of these vegetables. Cut out of lettuce and sorrel leaves pieces the size of a sixpence, and let them hsve one boil in some stock. Put all the vegetables so prepared in the soup tureen, add a few sprigs of chivril, pour over them some well-flavored con somme, and serve. Partridges Stewed. Stuff the craws with bread-crumbs, a bit of bntter, lemon-peel grated, shalot chopped, parsley, pepper, salt, nutmeg, yolk of egg ; rub the inside with pepper and salt ; half roast them ; stew them with cnllis, or rich gravy, and a little Madeira, an onion, a piece of lemon peel, savory, spice, if necessary, for about half an hoar ; take out the onion and lemon-peel ; thicken it with little dour; add cayenne, ketchup, Ac, if necessary ; boil it np. Garnish with bard-boiled yolks of eggs ; add artichoke-bottom boiled and quartered. Tns "Herald of Health" is of opinion that the simple color of one's surround ings has a marked influence on his health. It says : "Yellow on the walls of our rooms has a very depressing ef fect on tbe mind. Violet is worse. A man would go mad in a little while in a violet papered or painted room. Black rooms, or rooms heavily draped in mourning produce gloom and fore boding. Never wear mourning long, unless you wish to come sad and sor rowful beyond what nature ever in tended." Wrr the spots of iron rust on muslin or white dress goods thoroughly with lemon juice, then lay in tbe hot son to dry. Repeat the same if the color is not removed by one application. When dry, rinse in clear, cold water. Lemon juice cannot be used on colored goods, as it will take out printed colors as well as stains. It will remove all kinds of stains from white goods. Sweet Corn. There is no food for a family cheaper, and, when properly oooked, better than green corn. It is nutritive and digestible, and is alike palpable to alL Generally there is an abundance in the season of its first maturity, but in how many gardens is supply kept up by constant planting, beginning in May and ending about the middle of July. To Bake Ham. Most people boil ham. It is much better baked, if baked right. Soak for an hour in clean water, and wipe dry. Next spread it all over with thin butter, and then put it in a deep dish with sticks under it to keep it out of the gravy. When it is fully done, take off the skin and matters crusted on the flesh side, and set it sway to cooL Roasted Gbken Corn. Strip off all the husk from green corn, and roast it on a gridiron, over bright fire of coals, turning it as one side is done. Or, if a wood fire is used, make a place clean in front of the fire ; lay the corn down, turn it when one side is done ; serve with salt and bntter. To correct a fetid breath the follow ing dental wash is most excellent : Tincture of cedar wood, one pint ; tinc ture of myrrh, one ounce ; liqnid chlorinated soda, J ounce ; essence of winter-green, one ounce ; wash the month with a tablespoonfu! in glass of water. To Destroy Bed-Buos. Boil in one gallon of water one-half pound of alum; wash the cord, and after scouring the stains off the bedstead with ashes, wash, with hot alnm water, the floors and all parts where there are any signs of them. Ilumorons. - A c- krxsposdknt of the Court Circu lar tell a story of a gentleman, more famous fur his powers of sarcasm than for good breeding, and who sat next a lady at diun- r the other evening in the country to !'m he had only just been introduced. 11 amused himself daring dinner by quitting an individual oppo site with a very grotesque face, a person moreover whose remarks were by no means remarkable for wisdom. The lady listened and seemed amused, but just as she rose to go upstairs into the drawing-room, she murmured blandly, "Ursa Major, as you call him, is my husband." The satirical individual was, as may be imagined, considerably nonplussed, bat after the lady had gone he rallied, went over to Ursa Major, made himself so agreeable, praised his wife, etc., that to that lady's astonish ment, the two entered the drawing-room together, and the Bear informed his wife that night (so he said) he had never met such a pleasant fellow as the man who had been making fnn of him all dinner-time. It is not known whether the lady enlightened him. A Berlin photographer is reported to have made use of an ingenious trick to attract customers. The artist pre tended he could make photographs of gentlemen so lifelike that their dogs would be able to recognize them. When these photographs were held up before the dogs of the owners, the dogs would wag their tails and lick the pictures. The other photographers of Berlin, who were unable to perform anything similar, watched their colleague, and finally discovered his secret. It was a very simple proceeding. All he did was to cover the photographs with a thin layer of lard, which the dogs, of coarse, smelted, and then licked otL A Cold in the Head. Life is but an empty show a hollow mockery, to the man with a cold in the head. Be he naturally ever so ambitions and ener getic, when thus situated he desires only to sit by the fire and meditate and wipe his nose. Every bone in his body aches, he loses his appetite, and his bead feels as though it were as large as a crate of crockery, and about as heavy. He has but little inclination to carry on a conversation, or to hear others talk, bnt wonld rather crawl off to some secluded spot with a dozen or so fresh handkerchiefs and there remain enwrapped in his misery. Yorso man, you feel a superiority to the whole human race as you stand at the altar with your fair young bride. Yon wonld not exchange places with the president. Yet in a few short years, a few whisking of broom handles, an untimely stoppage or two of wafted flat-irons, and your weary body will rest under the swaying willow, while some young gallant will bring your late afflicted partuer out to the cemetery on calm Sabbath evenings and whiser love in her ear, as together they strew Ieannt shells over your grave. "Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud ?"

An Englishman and a Welshman dis pntiug in whose eonutry was the best living, said the Welshman, "There is such noble housekeeping in Wales that I have known above a dozen cooks em ployed at one wedding-dinner."

Fourteen years sgo a Tennessee father refused to let his young daughter go to a candy-pull, and she disappeared. The other day she returned, lifted eleven children out of the wagon, and entered the house and took off her things as coolly as if she hadn't been gone over a day. "What!" exclaimed Mrs. Jones, when her son John asked permission to join a club, "what, you become a club man ! No, John, emphatically no ; I've sat up too many nights for yonr father, and now that he is bedridden I am having some rest I'' A bashpul young man mortally offended the bride of his most intimate friend by stammering, when taken aback by a request for a toast at the wedding supper : "Tom, my f-fr-iend, may you have a wedding once a year as long as you live." Ax engineer on the Western North Carolina railroad shouted to a crowd of rustics who had gathered to see the first train of cars come in, "Put down yonr umbrellas f you'll scare tbe engine off the track I" The umbrellas were lowered at once. The favorite conundrum in Hunting ton, Tenn., is : "Why is this town like heaven ?" The answer is, "Because in it there is neither marrying nor giv ing in marriage." There has not been a marriage in the town for over two years. "You ouoht to acquire the faculty of being at home in the best society," said a fashionable aunt to an honest nephew. "I manage that easily enough," replied the nephew, "by staying at home with my wife and children." A Connecticut town boasts of a young man so timid that he cannot look a needle in the eye. Many young ladies are troubled with similar fears whenever they can get any one else to do their sewiug. A man who fell into a vat of boiling lard and got out alive, says it was not an unpleasant sensation after the first moment, but he thought what a mighty queer-shaped doughnut he would make. A little boy couldn't rememlier the text exactly, but thought it was some thing about a hawk between two pigeons. It was "Why halt ye between opinions ?" Short dresses will be worn by the ladies on the street. This is good news for the dresses, but it is bad for the sidewalks. "Patrick Baches," said the justice, "guilty or not guilty?"

A Trstv SavrlBg. Necessity is said to be the mother of invention. That may be, but time is also. During the years when men were worked for twelve and more hours, bnt few and crude inventions lightened labor, and this becanse me chanics were more concerned for what tliey should eat and wherewithal they should be clothed than in studies to adapt machinery to mechanical uses. The dates of the Patent Utbce will show that most inventions of value have been made since the inauguration of the ten hour system, aud now the machinery of the country is equal to tbe lalMtr of twenty-eight million men. Hitherto ten hours' labor has been necessary for tbe wants of civilization, because of the altseni-e of machine labor, and the pres ence of so many nieu living by their wits, and at the expense of the industry of the country. Now we havemachinery by which men are enabled to do ten times the work that was or could be done by our fathers, fifty years ago, and some inventions do not fall short of doing one hundred times the amount of work that was then accomplished. There is no longer a necessity for so much work; the wants of the work do not require it ; grain can be raised and wade iuto bread with one-twentieth of the labor; a ship can be built in less than one-fourth of the time ; a house can be erected and ready for use in one tenth of the time, and less than a tenth of the men can do it ; one man can make more shoes and boots, and hats and clothes, than twenty ineu could then have doue; the railroads will carry our goods and produce two thous and miles, and across tbe continent, in less time than our fathers could haul their grain to a profitable market : the daughter of twelve years of are can do the washing while her mother gets breakfast and takes care of the Iwby; the accomplished young lady can churn the butter while she is hemniinga hand kerchief, and make a dress in less time than her grand mother coithlhave basted it together. Gen. Grant's father took twelve months to tan leather that can now be done in six days; men of genius and late inventors now furnish fuel from the vapor of crude petroleum cheaper than a man can afford to dig the coal or chop the wood, if he has plenty at his door; we can transmit the force necessary for any kind of ma chinery from the rocky banks of a river to a suitable valley for manufacturing purposes cheatcr than the grading can Ite done for buildings at the source of power; framed doors, window blinds, or wishes, can now !e made in less time than our grandfathers could have dressed the st nil ; and soon throughout the entire catalogue of industrial pursuits. rilmiMK Shadow. We have no more right to fling an nniicccssarjr shadow over the spirit of those with whom we have to do, than we have to tling a stone anil injure them. Yet this flinging shadows is a very common siu and one to which women are particularly addicted. Oh, what a blessing is a merry cheerful woman in a household! One whose spirits are not allccted by wet days, or little disappointment, or whose milk of human kindness does not sour in the sunshine of iriiKerity. Such a woman in the darkest hours brightens the house like a little piece of sunshiny weather. The magnetism of her smile, the electrical brightness of her looks and movements infects everv one. The children go to school with the sense of something great to lie achieved; her husband goes into the world in a con qneror's spirit. No matter how the H-ole worry and annoy him all the day, far oil' her presence shines, and he w hisM-rs to himself, "At home shall I liud rest." So day by day she literally renews his strength and energy, and if you know a man with a U-aming face, a kiud heart aud a prosperous business, in nine cases out of ten you will find that he has a w ife of this kiud. For uothing is more certain than that the man who is married must ask his wife for permission to be happy and wealthy. Died Suddenly or Heart Diftavr. low common is the announcement.
