THE GOOD WIFE.
It is just as y,on say, Neigbbor Green,
A treasure indeed is my wife ;
Such another for bustle and work
I never have found in my life.
But then she keeps every one else
As busy as birds on the wing ;
There is never a moment for rest,
She is such a fidgety thing.
She makes the best bread in the town,
Her pies are a perfect delight,
Her coffee a rich golden brown,
Her crullers and pudding just right.
But then, while I eat them, she tells
Of the care and worry they bring,
Of the martyr-like toil she endures,
0, she's such a fidgety thing !
-My house-isit,l2£4:o-fili a pin,
You should see how the door-handles
shine,
And all of the soft-cushioned chairs
And nicely-swept carpets , xesmine.
But then she so frets 'lithe dust,
At a fly, at a straw or a string,
That I stay out of doors all I can,
She is such a fidgety thing 1
She doctors the neighbors, 0, yes,
It a child has the measles or croup,
She is there with her saffron and quills,
ti=er dainty made greets and soup,
But then she insists on her right
To physic my blood in the spring,:
And she takes the whole charge of my
bile,
0, she's such a fidgety thing I
She knits all my stockings herself,
My shirts are bleached white as the
snow ;
My old clothes look better than new,
Yet daily more th?ead bare they grow,
But then if a morsel of lint
• Or dust to my trousers should cling,
I'm sore of one serman at least,
She is such a fidgety thing.
You have heard of a spirit so meek,
So meek that it never opposes,
Its own it dares never to speak—
A 1a5,,1 am meeker than Moses !
But then I am not reconciled
The subordinate music to sing;
I submit to get rid of a row,
She is such a fidgety thing !
It's just as you say, neighbor Green,
A ti ensure to me has been given ;
But sometimes 1 fain would be glad
To lay up my treasure in heaven.
But then every life has its cross,
Most pleasures on earth have their
sting,
She's a treasure, I know, neighbor Green,
But she's such a fidgety thing.

MAMMA, PA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1866..
In our lag we endeavored to enforce
upon temperance men the necessity of
abßtaining entirely from all drinks that
contain alcohol. From personal ob'ser
vation we are induced to call your at
tention to a subject closely allied to the
above.
While it is very important that we
should know what we drink; it is no
less important to see that we breathe
the proper material ; as physical beings
we are compelled to owe the continuance
of our Hype to the elements and objects
by which we are surrounded. One of
these is air, the first and the last demand
of our lives, we are incessantly inhaling
it from birth to death. Air in its natur
al state, consists of four substances, two
elements oxygen and nitrogen, and two
compounds carbonic acid gas, and vapor ;
not chemically combined as some sup
pose, but merely mixed, so as to be
easily separated.
The nitrogen of which there is in pure
air about seventy-seven per cent. is the
neutral or diluting principle ; and oxy.
gen of which there is about twenty
three per cent. is the active or life sup
porting principle, the percentage of
moisture is small and variable, the same
with carbonic acid gas. This is the kind
of air which the human respiratory sys-
tem demands. In the process of breath
ing the air is conveyed through the
bronchial tubes and received into the air
chambers where it is brought into con
tact with the venous blood to which it
yields a portion of its oxygen and in re
turn receives Carbonic acid gas. It is
by this process, and by this alone that
our blood can be purified and revitalized.
It comes into the lungs a 'dark liquid,
meets the air freighted with the life
giving elements, and exchanges its pois
onous load for this element, and thus
rqturns to the different parts of the sys
tem robed in a beautiful crimson. It is
this vitalized blood that imparts the
hues of health to the skin, that gives the
rosy cheek and ruby lips, to the fair ones.
Let those who desire to be in possession
of these remember that pure air is the
only chemical necessary to procure them.
Eyerytime we breathe, a certain por
tion of air is deprived of a large portion
of pxygen, if taken the second time into
the lungs, another portion of oxygen is
abstracted and so on, until it
. will no
longer sustain life. But this is not the
only way breathing effects pure air for
while it looses oxygen it receives in re
turn from the blood, poisonous gases,
which are exhaled and mixed with the
The best authorities tell ne that we
breathe every minute from seven to ten
cubic feet of air, and hence unfit that
quantity for respiration every minute.
Think for a moment of our crowded
workrooms, a room sixteen feet square
and nine feet high will contain 2304
cubic feet of air, which will supply four
persons for about an hour, and yet not
unfrequently twice that number of per
sons, and three times as long, are seen
working in such a room. Is it any
wonder then that such persons should
become sickly and be continually com
plaining of dyspepsia?
Look at our evening parties crowded
into parlors for three or tour hours the
only, means of ventilation being the oc
casional opening of the door.
'rkllnk of two or more persons sleeping
in an almost air tight bed room, from
seven to eight hours ; and then be not
surprised at the many pale faces. If we
could but see the mass of vitiated and
poisoned air in which we pass so large
a portion of our lives, should it fora mo
ment become visible; we should flee
from our stove heated, unventilated
rooms as from a city swept with cholera
or yellow fever. But these remarks aro,
not only applicable to home ; but in al
most all of our public meetings. Not
unfrequently you sit listening to an ex
cellent sermon until you are asleep, be
cause you are inhaling poison all the
time. It is time people should see to
this, rather freeze to 'death than be pois
oned to death. But we have not the
space, er shouicl give some ,examples
resulting from a want,of,proper ventila
tion

" Dey pick up items >? tink so. Is

He was asked to explain what he
meant, which he did as follows :

Baron de Kaib.
r Among the enthusiastic foreigners
who generously espoused our cause at
an early period of the Revolution, and
joined the American army, few are en
titled to , more grateful recollections, by
the present and future generations, than
the Baron de Kalb. He was by birth a
German, and had attained a high repo•
tation in the military service ; he was a
Knight of the Order of Merit, and a
brigadier general in the armies of France.
He accompanied the Marquis de Lafay
ette to this country, and prottered his
services to Congress, which were accep
ted ; and in September, 1777, he was
appointed .to the Office of major general.
His alma and deeds were of a high order ;
he labored for the liberty of all who were
oppressed. He did not esteem rank but
for the sake of performing greater uses
to mankind. He was second in • com
mand in our southern army, under Major
General Gates, when arrangements were
making for the battle of Camden (which
Rroved so disastrous to our army, -in
August, 1780 ), and cautioned Gates
against a general action. But Gates
said,. " Lord Cornwallis will not dare to
look us in the face." And when an of
ficer, who was present, said, " I wonder
where we shall dine to-morrow r
"Dine, sir," replied Gates, "why - at
Camden, to be sure ; I would not give a
penny to, be insured's beefsteak in Cam
den to-morrow with Lord Cornwallis at
my table."
Baron de Kalb was decidedly opposed
to the proceedings of Gates. and foretold
the ruin that would ensue, and expressed
a presentiment that it would be his fate
to fall in the battle.
In a council , of war, while the enemy
was approaching, the baron advised that
the, army should fall back and tike a
good position, but this was rejected by
Gates, who insinuated that it originated
from fear.
.De Kalb instantly placed himself at
the head of his command on foot, and
replied, "Well, sir, a few hours, per
haps, will prove who are brave."
The conflict had scarcely commenced
when the militia under Gates broke and
fled, leaving the guns behind. He im
mediately pursued, as he said, to bring
them back, but he continued his flight
till he reached Charlotte, eighty miles
from the field of battle,
De Kalb, at the head of a few hundred
Continental troops, contended with the
whole British army for more than an
honr ; hundreds of brave men had fallen
around this hero when he was .overpow
ered, baying received eleven bayonet
wounds
At the entreaty of his aid, Chevalier
de Boysson, the British officers inter.
posed, and prevented bis immediate
destruction ; but he survived the action
only a few hours. To a British officer,
who kindly condoled with bim on his
misfortune, be replied, " I thank you
for your generous sympathy, but I die
the death I have always prayed for—the
death of a soldier,.fighting for the rights
of man ; and, thoug,h I light no more in
this world, I t i ruet t •,l„.- May be. still ,of
some service in - the cause of freedom."
General-Washington, - many - years af
ter; visited the grave of De Kalb, and
after looking on• it awhile, he exclaimed:
`` - I:3'O' there lies the brave De Kalb, the
ginertus,stranger who came from a dis
tapt land to fight our battles, and to wa
ter with his-blood the tree of liberty."
Congress ordered him a monument,
but it, ajuseeeyer erected, though the cit
i isens of 6amdi;n, after .waiting a long
time, enclosed his grave, and placed oe
it:
. a h,andsmiemarble, with an epitaph
descriptive, 9( hie vittliai and sonless.
