Five years "we've iraniped tbrough wind and weather. And slept out-doors when nights were cold,
And ale and draek—andetarTcd—together. AVe'vc learned wbat comfort is, I tell you!

Well, Bometbing hot, tben,—we won't quar¬ rel. He's thirsty, too,—see him nod his bead ?
AVhat a pity. Sir, that dogs can't talk ! He understands every word that's said,— And he kuows good  milk  from  water-and-
cbalk. The truth is, Sir, now I rellect,
I've been so sadlj* given to grog, I wonder I've not lost the respect
(Here's to you, Sir!) even of my dog. But be slicks by, Ibrough thick and thin ;
And this old coat, witb its empty pockets, And rags that smell of tobacco nnd gin,
He'll follow wbile he hns eyes in bis sockets. Tbere isn't anotlier creature living
Would do it, and prove througb every dis¬ aster. So fond, so faiihful, and so forgiving.
To such a miserable thankless master! Ko, Sir!—see bim wag bis tail and grin!
By George ! it makes my old eyes water ! Tbat is, there's sometiiing in tbis gin
Tbat chokes a fellow.   But no matter!
We'll bave some music, if you're willing. And Itoger (hem! what a plague a cough is. Sir!) Sball march a liltle.—Slart, you viUain"! Stand straight!    'Bout face !    Salute your ofBcer!

And scarce remembering what meat meant, That my poor stomacb 's past reform; And there are times wben, mad with think¬ ing, rd sell out heaven for sometbing warm
To prop a horrible inward sinking. Is there a way to forget to think ?
At your age. Sir, home, fortune, friends, A dear girl's love,—but I took to drink ;
The same old story ; you know how it ends. Ifyou could have seen these classic features,— You needn't laugb. Sir ; lbey were not then Sncb a burning libel on God's creaturc.i:

'Twas better for her tbat we should part,— Better the soberest, prosiest rife
Tban a biaijted bome and a broken heart. I have seen her?    Once;*,! was weak and spent On tbe dusly road : a carriage stopped: But little she dreamed, as on sbe went.

The riuu and wretchedness here below ? Another glass, and slrong, to deaden
Tbis pain; then Iloger and I will start. I wonder, has he such a lumpish leaden,
Achingthing, in place of a heart ? He is sad sometimes, and would weep, if he couid. No doubt, rembering the things that were, A virlnous kennel, with plenty of food. And himself a sober, respectable cur.
I'm better now ; that glass was warming.	
You rascal! limber your lazy feel! I

'¦.'¦¦   ¦     ~ It is a cypress-grove in Louisiana, near
ti,e banks ofthe wide and turbid Missis¬ sippi.' The full moon hangs silently in the dark blue east, and her pale beams mingle strangely with the red, flashing light of a hundred camp-fires.
Groups of black figures stand and move abont long lines of snowy tents, and the warm firelight and the cold moonlight glitter upon the arms and equipments of the ofBcers.
Songs and langhter, and boasts of fu¬ ture deeds of prowess go up to the still heavens. The soldiers play cards by their fires, and the officers drink wine in their tents. The sentinels thread their lonely beats, weary but watchful, throngh tang¬ led copes and poisonous swamps.
In mde sheds, near the oamps, great, half-nated, half-barbarous negroes'chistle and sing as they groom horses, that neigh, and stamp, and paw the earth, as if im¬ patient to mingle in thc carnival to come.
Ovor all, majestically floata a strange and unfamiliar flag—three broad bars of blood and snow, with seven lonesome stars npon its union.
The swarthy, sinewy soldier toasts tho flag in full bumpers, and promises each other great victories to be wou beneath its folds.
Bui I know that ere long, many of these gay braves pine in a cold Northern pris¬ on; others, happier, lie dead in the cy¬ press grove; and the broad-barred flag is trailed in th^ mire of tbe poisonous swamps, lost and forgotten.
II
The sun lies bright and warm in the little New-Kngland kitohen. The clean pans and pails on the pine shelves glitter like silverware. A soft breese swings the lilac-boughs at the open window, making a dancing shadow upon the table and the floury kneading-board. AU the air is full of the pleasant smell of blossoms in the garden and clover-fields beyond. The thrushes and robins are singing their loudest, and great white clouds float list¬ lessly about in the fresh, sparkling blue of the sky.
The old mother, in her neat calico gown and white cap, embraces her son at the kitchen-door. He is going away from her—^her son, her only child; but she neither weeps nor complains.
She admires his trim, straight figure, so well set oif by his blue uniform and'shin- ing army-buttons. She'tcnderly caresses him brown curls, clustering under the jaunty fatigue-cap, and kisses his white forebead with ber withered lips, as she bids him go to fight for his country and his honor.
Poor old mother! Sh? sees her son re¬ turn, in her hopes and dreams, an oificer and a great man. She sees him welcomed by a shouting host, with music and ban¬ ners, and longs for the day, so that she may unloose her tears, and cry, " This is my son I" It is for this she controls her womanly heart, full to overflowing. It is for this she will wait, and watoh, and pray, tbrough many a long day and weary night;
The boy receives her last kiss—her farewell blessing. He buttons his smart jacket with youthful pride, and marches away to join his comrades who await him.
The mother looks after the trim, strait figure, disappearing down the green bne. Then she returns, tranquilly, to her du¬ ties, praying that God may spare her long enongh to see her boy acknowledged the hero and savior of hia country.
But I know that that poor lad shall give up: his. life.on a field of gore and death. [The cannon wheels shall pass over his body, and nobody can tell how he died, or where he sleeps; and the old mother shall watch, and wait, and pray, in vain.
ni.
The cathedral is dim and misty with tbe smoke of tb^censors and the tapers. The air shudders with the bass of the great organ, and the voices of the choir roll in mighty waves through nave and chancel. The priests, robed in stole, and alb, and maniple, chant responses in sol¬ emn, ringing Latin, and the tall windows of stained glass east colored figures of saints and cherubim over the whole.
On a raised platform, covered with black and studded with rows of shining tapers, lies the clay of one who gave up his heart's blood to serve the land he had adopted for his home. The coffin is of rosewood, with splendid silver mountings. Upon its lid reposo the hero's trusty sword —his epaulets—his plumed hat. The white, and scarlet, and starry blue of our banner sweep gracefully over the end of that narrow bed wherein the soldier sleeps. The moumers,*vailed and banded with sable orape, sit about the platform with heavy hearts and bowed heads. He waa so young, so brave, so generous, so full of talent and manhood. Wby should he, among so many less worthy, be chosen for a victim ? His death has made him glori¬ ous, but his life would have made him great!
Yet death cares little for tho yearnings and thoughts that come too late. The great bell of cathedral tolls ponderously above; the organs moans and wails below; the choir's voices ring among the arches and pillars; "'Jdixerere'." chant the priests,and the mourners sob in heavy sorrow. But I know that the soldier rests well after the battle, and his so.ul, looking down, smiles calmly upon the pageant and grief that announces his arising to a happier, truer, nobler life, beyond the valley of shadows.

By tha bow-window of the sitting-room of a pleasant oountty-house a lady is sew¬ ing. She is very lovely, with her large dark eyes, and heavy waves of chestnnt hair, and sad, sweet smile. But she ia pale and thoughtful. Her baby lies asleep in a cradle heside her. She paused some¬ times in her work to look at the child. From him she glanoes toward a picture that hung above the mantle-piece; it is a portrait of a soldier; a grave, handsome iman wearing the shoulder-straps of a colonel.
The lady traces a resemblance between the chubby face in the oradle and the dig¬ nified faee of the picture,.and her large eyes glisten i^th gathering tears. Then jshc opens and readaa letter, which is,blnr- red and worn with mnch reading already,
The baby awakens, and ahe hastens to take it from the cradle, to perforin the sweetest, holiest office of maternity. Sit¬ ting in a low rocking-chair, bending down lovingly over the little one that nestles at her white boaom, regarding her .ivith one satisfied, complacent eye, she makes a pic¬ ture like those that Bembrandt loved to paint.
Some one stands at the bow-window, admiring this picture from the portico without. His long shadow falls across the sunshine on the flowered carpet, and startles the mother. As she hastily arises, the window is thrust open. Baby, alarm¬ ed at flrst, looks around and laughs, cry¬ ing, "Papa!"
In a moment the fair lady sinks, almost swooning with joy, into the arms ofa tall, dignified man in the uniform of a colonel. He is thin, pale, and lame, but happily reoovering, and reassures ^er by the warmth of his kisses and his embrace.
Those two stand long holding each oth¬ er olose, with the chubby child crowing and laughing between them. It is the fairest picture of all.
V.
It is the field of battle; but the battle is done. The sun goes down in a bank of crimson clouds, flaming and hot, and as he goes, looks sadly upon the picture.
There is a wreck of guns, and wagons, and equipage, broken, splintered by shot and shell, overturned and destroyed.— There is a sorrier wreck, too, of men and horses, piled here and there together, in every terrible attitude that death - and agony can invent.
The smoke from the cannon and mus¬ ketry still hangs, heavy and sulphurous, over the low shrubs of a marshy spot on the field. The rank vegetable life in the swamp contrasts sharply with the death around. The broad, bright green leaves are splashed and spattered with purple drops. From the holes, half full of stag¬ nant water, under the trampled bushes, stare npward, the ghastly unclosed eyes of dead men.
As thc night oomes on, and the soft dews freshen the tainted air, the wounded revive a little, and the field rings with o horrible ehorns of moans and cries. The great, yellow moon comes up, vague and misshapen, irom a broken rack of cloud aud mist, and the torches of tbe surgeon and the burial parties begin to flicker redly hither and thither.
Here, on a shattered caisson, sits an old man, with a face stern and grim as that of Count Ugolino in the torre del fame. His foot and ankle are orushed by the frag¬ ment of a shell, but he does not care for the wound. His only son lies before him. The boy's head, with its sunny, golden tresses, rests on the old man's knee. His white face ia peaceful and smiling, as if in sleep.
The night-winds waves the long white hair on the old man's temples, and the pale moon lights up his grim face. His dark-blue eyes are fixed stonily upon the lad's bared ohest, white a^ a girl's, but with a small red spot, tmeandround,near the heart, whence the blood iio longer oozes. The moans and cries ofthe wound¬ ed arise everywhere on the breeze, but no sotmd escapes the firm lips of the father watching by his dead son.
A STOET POB THE IITTLE FOLKS,
Why I was Late.
I was hurrying homeward as rapidly as possible for several reasons. First, it was nearly dart and very oold ; and second, the hour which was passing was not mine, but belonged to the children, So, as the clock on the big steeple showed me that ten minntes were already gone, I hurried on, bmshiiig past all moderate people, and presently I was ringing my own door-bell. I could hear the footsteps on the stairs and the little voices, though the door was shut. Little Bell spoke first when the door was opened:
" Was you lost, mamma 1" Sbe is not very fond of grammar, but very fond of me.
" Oh no, dear," I answered her, " not lost at all; and os soon as I get a seat by the fire, I will tell you what hindered me." Charley placed the little easy chair near the fife,—he's a dear, thoughtful boy —and Alice, Susie, and the little Bell commenced helping, or, if I tell the exact truth, I had better say hindering, me in "getting off my things."
" I stopped to buy a small pair of shoes, children," I said, as I. sat down.
"Now," said Susie, "if I ain't glad	
I'll just take my Sunday ones for every day, and not bother with these old ones any more."
"¦Would it not be w«!lf, Susie," I said, " to wait until you are sure the shoes are for you ?"
They all laughed, and Susie colored. " But yon know you said, mamma, that I was to have a new pair; and besides, you haven't told ns yet who they were for."
wonld do as I do, take anything; but the pennies came first, and I gave them to him, and when he pnt them into his pooket I heard them tattle against some other pennies which were there before; so I said to him, 'I hope you'U soon have enough to buy yoa a pair of shoes'"
" Guess Fve got more than enough for that now," said he.
" Then pray why don't you buy them ?" I asked him.
" Oh, I'm aaving up," said he. I felt curious to know why he wanted so much money, so I said, " What do you wish to.buy ?" " A rocking-chair," he said. " Wasn't that funny, mamma V said BeU.
" Well, yes, dear, I thought it was odd enough, so I stepped a trifle one side, not to be in any one's way, and asked why he wanted a rocking-chair; and he told me it was for his little lame sister."
"How big is she, mamma?" asked Susie.
" How should mamma know ?" asked Alice by way of an answer, " she has nev¬ er seen her."
" Yes, ohildren, I know just how big she is, and I haye seen her. I was like yourselves: I wanted to aska great many questions, till at last the little boy said ' Come round and see my sister, ma'am,' so I went. It was not a pleasant home like ours, children. I think any of you would get at leaat two tumblea in trying to climb the stairs, but the Uttle boy went up as Tiimbly as a squirrel. I saw the lame sister the moment be opened the door. She turned her pale face around, and looked up with wonder to see a stran¬ ger come in. She was sitting upon a hard wooden chair—a kitchen chair you would call it, and her little helpless limbs hung down, with no nice footstool under them. Oh, how tired she looked ! Did you ever thank God that you could walk, children?" " Why no, mamma," said Susie, " 'twouldn't be hardly worth while—walk¬ ing is just as easy as nothing at all."
" To you, dear, with your strong limbs —but that poor child would think herself richer than any queen if she could once j amp down from the chair, and run around the room all by herself."
" But, mamma, what ailed her 1" ask¬ ed Alioe.
" I was going to say," said Httle Bell, " I suppose she got hurted at the war.— I forgot all about she was a little girl.
The older ohildren thonght this was a very babyish blunder for Bell, but I love aU her little speeohes so dearly.
" Sbe had a fall," I said, " two years ago, so they told me, and she wiU never TValk again. Do you remember this verse, ohildren, Even as Christ pleaaed not him¬ self ? I have tried to explain it to you a great many times. Well, even as Chris t pleased not himself, this little brother has stood in the cold and thc wet, and patient¬ ly earned the money to make his sufier¬ ing sister comfortable. He showed me the red-flannel bag with his money in, and I think .two more days like this wiU fill up the t.ag, and he will buy tbe ohair. " Good!" they said, in one voice. " Mamma has forgot all about the shoes," whispered Sue to Charley.
"I wonder you didu't give him tbe rest of the money, mamma, when he want¬ ed so little," said Charley.
"Ho, Charley, I wanted the cbair to be every inch his own; but I wanted to help the good work in some way, so when I left I brought him with me as far as a shoe-store, and let him choose a strong pair. He turned them round and round in his hand, and said to me,' Guess I'll look gay when I go afler my ohair.' No doubt he will look better than with bare feet, but if he were my boy, I should be prouder of his patience than of his shoes. Now, children, I want you all to do aome¬ thing for this little lame girl. I won't tell you what I think best for you to do. I want each one to make up their mind, and then to-morrow night we'll talk it oyer."
" Can we rote about it?" said Charley. "Tes."
" And shall the majority mie 1" said Alice.
She is coming toward her teens, and likes a large word now and then.
" Oh yes, it shall oertainly rule if it ia wise enough."
Little Bdl put on a thoughtful face, and commenced malring up her mind very fast. Pretty soon ahe apoke, " I know what I'll do; but she didn't tell.
The tea-bell rang. The children were hungry, as ohildren very generally are, and prepared to obey the oall at onoe.
" Stop a minute, little ones," I said.— " I used a quarter of au hour of your time to-night, and now I've told you why I did it. Was the reason good enough for you to excuse me this time 1"
They crowded aronnd me, "all in a heap," and each in their own style gave me their loving answer to my qnestion.— I was excused, and we went to tea.

BV 7UILBT JOHXBOH.
Oh, would tbat boyhood's happy days,
Time would again restore^; And bring before me.vJuiionaZbrigbt
Of happiness once more ; For as I oast a backward glance,
I hear sweet boyhood's strain. And eager joye, and vigorous life.
Fill overy bursting veiu ; And as in my familiar haunts.
With BoiTow now I tread, Tho past, despoiled of all its tombs,
Unsepnlobres its dead. ~
How oft beneath the shady oak.
In summer would I lie, And watch the happy, warbling birds
Mount up within the sky. And lislening to the ohurch bells' chimes,
That broke upon my ear. Kneel down witfain my solitude
And breathe a fervent prayer; Oh, those were brigbt, exulting daya,
That dawned upon me then. When Fancy held life's magic brush.
And Poetry the pen.
My boyhood's love—I feel it now,
With all its early glow ; Once more I see her curly locks,
In flaxen ringlels flow ; Once more I feel myself enclosed,
Witbiu her fond embrace ; Again her loving eyes are raised
In meekness to my face ; But, oh, the seal of death was set
Unon her marble brow, . Sbe was too frail and fair for earth,^.
She is Qod's angel now. 1 know full well that boyish days.
Cannot return again; No. more its eager, vigorous joya,
ShaU flll a siogle vein; But when life's broken tiea are knit,
Wben wounded hearts are healed. When scattered friendsbip ouce again
By harmony are sealed, Wben death sball bring the sleepers back
From out the boundless sea ; Oh, tben again you may restore
My boyhood's days to me. Baxtiuoee, Md.

' We have treaaon here!' oried the king. ' Sir jailer, where is your pris¬ oner?'

" And I can't tell you, dear, unlesa you give me a cliance."
"Well now, Charley," said Susie, " don't let us speak another word until mamma's all through."
Charley, by the way, had not interrupt¬ ed at all, but he took his little, talkative sister's remark very good-naturedly, and said,
" All right, Sne."
So I went on. " Tou don't kriow how cold it is to-night, childien, and the walk¬ ing is dreadful. It's a great deal worse down town, where .the suow is half melt¬ ed, thau it is here. Well, at one street the orossing waa so bad that really I could not get over at<dl until one of those little' boys you see so often came and swept a place for me."
"Mamma," began Susie, but when Charley looked around she stopped.
^ Well, Susie, what is it f" I said.
" I was only going to say, was he abont as big as Charley ?   that's all, mamma."
" Not quite as big, but he bad a bright pleasant face, and I told him if he woulc| come over to the sidewalk, I'd pay him. And when he stepped up on the walk, I saw that his feet were perfeotly bare.— Just think of it, dear children, such 4 night as this ! So I gave him some pen¬ nies."

A SOLDIEB'S LIFE. A soldierfs life is a hard one. It is full of privations. It is bardly one that would boHSeleoted by the indolent or the luxuri¬ ous. It is one of toil and care, and no little endurance. Tet it is remarkable how well a soldier's life agrees witb even many of those whom we have been accus¬ tomed to consider effeminate. We have personally known several young men of feeble health and indifferent physieal stamina who, having " gone to the war," have returned robust, hearty, vigorous, and substantial. Some of them whom we sertainly believed would soonbe oarried to their graves by a ^mp-lifo have^ on the oontrary, been regularly built up into stdwart men by the hardships they en¬ dured, arid owe the promise of a long and healthy life entirely to the extraordinary change brought about by iniiitary discip¬ line and dnties. We dare say -that there are cases in wbicb sleeping on the gronnd, the fatigue of heavy marches, wet clothe ^°gj ,^ PS" diet, and so oiii haveexercis- ed a different effect i)eath hjs visited mauy, no doubt, simply becauae they were subjected'to such triab; but rid instance of that kind has cdirie niider our obServif tion, ¦while we have been ari eytvfitn^s to anumber of instancea, in whichT sickly men haye.been teansformed bya soldier's lifeinto fipeeimena of rare manly.jvigor and p]iyBic8l:«xeeilense.':' '¦¦¦    •.-ivv.   :.•¦

One, fine July day, the fair Margaret, Qneen of Navarre, then on a visit to her royal brotber, bad arranged a rural feast for tbe moruing following, whioh Franois bad declined attending. He was melan¬ oholy ; and tbe cause was said to be some lover's quarrel with a favorite dame.— Tbe morrow oame, and dark rain and murky clouds destroyed at once tbe schemes of the courtly throng. Margaret was angry, and she grew weary ; her only hope for amusement was in Francis, and he had shut himself up—an excellent reason wby she sbonld desire to see him. Sbe entered his apartment; be was stand, ing at tbe casement, against whioh the noisy shower beat, writing witb a diamond on the glass. Two beautiful doga were his aole companions. As Qaeen Margaret entered be haatily let down the silken cur¬ tain before tbe window, and looked a little confused.
< What treaaon ia tbia, my liege,' said tbe queen, ' whieh crimsons your cheek % I must ace the same.'
¦ It is treason,' replied the king, < and therefore, sweet sister, than must not seo it.'
Thia tbe more exoited Margaret's cari¬ osity, aud a playful contest ensued. Fran¬ cis at last yielded: be threw himself on a huge, high-baoked settee; and, as tbe lady drew baok tbe curtain with an arcb smile, he grew grave and sentimental, as he reflected on the oauae which had iu¬ apire^ tbis libel against all woman-kind.
' Wbat have wc here V said Margaret. ' Nay, this is kiS majeste—
' ISouvent femme Tarie—bien fou qui Bly fie !* [Often noman changes—foolish bo ivbo trusts her.)
Very little change would greatly amend your  line air—would it not run  better
tbuB :
* Sonvent homma vario—bien folle qui aly fie 1' (Often man obanges—foolish ehe who truata bim.)
I could tell you  a tbousand  stories  of man's inconstancy.'
' I will be content with one true tale of woman's fidelity,' said Frauoia, dryly, <but do not provoke me. 1 would fain be at peace witb the soft mutabilities, for thy dear sake.'
' I defy your grace,' replied Margaret, rashly,' to instance the falsehood of one noble and reputed dame.'
' Not even Emilie de Lagny V said tbe king.    ,
This was a aore subject for tbe queen. Emilie bad been bronght up in her house¬ hold, tbe most beantiful and most virtuous of her maids of honor. She bad long loved the Sire de Lagny, and their nup¬ tials were celebrated with rejoicings, but little ominous of the result. De Lagny waa accused but a year after of traitorous¬ ly yielding to the emperor a fortress under bis command, and he was condemned to perpetual impriaonment. For some time Emilie was inconsolable, often visiting the miaerable dungeon of ber husband and suffering, on her return from witnessing his wretcbednesa, such paroxysms of grief, as threatened her life. Suddenly, in the midat of her aorrow, she disappeared ; and inquiry only divulged tho diagracefui faot, that she had esoaped from France, bearing her jewels with her, and accompanied by ber page. Bobinet Leroux. It waa whispered tbat, during her journey, the lady and her stripling were often seen to¬ gether; and Margaret enraged at theae discoveries, commanded that no further quest sbouid be made for her lostLfavorite. Taunted now by her brother, sho de¬ fended Emilie, declaring tbat she believed ber to be guiltless, even going ao far as to boast that witbin a month she wonld bring proof of her innocence.
' Kobinet was a pretty boy,' said Fran, cis, langhing.       y
< Let ns make a bet,' cried Margaret. ' If I lose, I will bear this vile rhyme of thine as a motto to my shame to my grave; if I win '
< I will break my window, and grant thee whatever boon tbou askest.'
The result of this bet waa long snng by troubadour and. minstrel. The queen em¬ ployed a hundred emissaries-published re¬ wards for any intelligence of Ximilie-^all in vain. The monthr nas. expiring, and Margaret wonld have given many bright jewels to redeem her, word. On the eve of the fatal day, the jailer oftbe prison in wbieh the Sire de XTagny waa confined, sought audienoe of tho queen ; he brought her a message from the knight to say, that if the lady Margaret wpnld ask his pardon as her boon, and obtain from ber .royal brother that he might be brought befpre bim, her bet was won. Fair Margaret was ™Ty j"*?'"') snd readily made the desired promise. Franois was unwilling to see his false servant, but he was in high good buriioif, for a cavalier had that moming brougbt intelligenoe of a victory over the imperialists. The messenger bimself was landed in tbe despatohes as the most fear- leas' arid brave knight in'France. Tbd king loaded him' with presents, only' re. igretisg that a vow prevented 'the soldier from isisiDg s visor or decUting hiainmej ' 'The same evisriuigi utbe setting son shone on the lattice ' on 'wbioh the nngal- lant rhynie'#u trMed, Ftiittols reposed'on the'sameiettefljind'the'beantifnl qaeen pf-'Ninrre, with' trinm{)h..fa>ifaer:bright e]rca,'B4t beside faira..: iAttendadiby^gstfdB^ tbepniOBeriina brongkti^j.-iiiiibMW.WM »tt«iiaM»dl)7paTCtioBw4 bsiin^ «i(U
Valaable Hints-
If a man faints plaoo him flat on bis baok and let him alone.
If any poison is swallowed, drink in¬ stantly half a glaaa of cold water, witb a heaping teaapoonful each of oommon salt and ground mnstard stirred into it. Tbis vomita aa aoou as. it reachea tbe stomacb ; but for fear some of tbe poison may atill remain, swallow the white of ono or two raw egga, or drink a onp of coffee, theae two being antidotes for a greater number of poiaons than any dozen other artioles known, witb tbe advantage of tbeir being always at hand. If not, a half-pint of sweet oil, or drippings, or melted butter, or lard, are substitutes, especially if they vomit qaiokly.
The best thing to stop the bleeding of a moderate cut instantly is to cover it pro¬ fusely witb cobweb, or floar and salt, half and half.
,If the blood oomes from a wound by jets or apirts, be quick, or a man will be dead in few minutea, beoauae an artery ia severed ; tie a handkerchief loosely around near the part, betweeu tho wound and tbe heart; put a stiok between the handker¬ chief and the skin, twist it ronnd un¬ til tbe blood ceases to flow, and keep it there until the dootor comes. If in a posi¬ tion where a handkerchief oannot be used, presa tbe thumb on a spot near thc wound belween the wound aod the heart ; increase the pressure until tbe bleeding ceaaes, but do not lesseu that pressure for an instant, until a pbysician arrives, so as to glae up the wound by the coagulation or hardening of the oooling bloo J.
If your olothes take fire, slide the hands down tbe dress, keeping them as close to tbe body as possible, at the same time sinking-to tbe floor by bending the knees, tbia baa a smothering effect on the flames. If not extingaished, or a great headway ia gone, lie down on tbe floor, roll, over and over _: or, better, envelope yourself in
Ch oarpet,   rag, btftSoloiL,   or any   gnrmpnh
you oan get hold of alwaya preferring woollen.
If a man asks you to go bis acourlty, say ' No,' and run ; otberwiso you may be enslaved for life, or your wife aud children may spend a weary existence in want, sicknesa, and beggary.
If you find yourself in posseaaion of a counterfeit note or coin, throw it in the fire on tbe instant, otherwise you ma/ be tempted to pass it, and may pasa it, to feel mean therefore aa long as you live ; then it may paas.in some man's hand aa mean aa yonraelf, with a new perpetration of iniquity, the loss to fall, eventully, on aome poor struggling widow, wbose ' all' it may be.
Never laugb at tho iniahapa of any fel¬ low-mortal.
The very inatant you find youraelf in a passion, shut yonr mouth. This ia one of the preoepts derived from inspiration.
The man who always exacts the laat cent, ia moan : there is no ' evacuant' in all the < Materia Medica,' efficient enough to purge bim of his debasement; he is beyond druggery.
Never affect to be • blunt:' these are the synonyms of brutality and booriabnesa.— Suoh peraons are inflicting a wound which neitber time nor medicine can  ever heal.
Never be witty at another's expenae.— True generoaity never dwella in such a heart. It only wants the opportunity to become the cheat or a rogue.

How TO Treat an Idle Husband.— The people (the inhabitants of New Zeal¬ and) are mach attached to their chiefs.— If they require an additional patch of land, or Uberty to build a honse anywhere, it is granted. If tbey quarrel among them¬ selves, or have complaints to make, the head chief's ear is kindly opened to all— to the poorest man as well .as to the petty ohief. If invasion threatens their diatrict, he is in the front ranks to repel it; and let the war cause a aharp skirmish or a great battle, he is aways in the front, and where danger predses most, so that he has their love and respect. The head chief often interferes in minor matters of a do¬ mestio natnre. For" instance, if. a lazy fellow has a wife or two and a few chil¬ dren, and, throngh his love for fishing, dancing, or loitering idly about, he neg¬ lects to bring in thc necessary sapplies for his family, a eomplaint ia made. The ohief visits the house in person, and if he sees jast gronnds for punishment, he orders ont the whole population of the vil¬ lage. Men, wonmen and ohildren arm themselves witb a stiff birch made of oanes, and then form a donble line, about six'feet apart, and wait, with anxions glee, the ap¬ proach of the delinqaent. At last.he is placed at one end of the lines, amidst a shower of yells, soreams, jibes, etc. Tfae word is given by the ohief, and away be darts at his ntmost speed. According to his deserts, he may get off with ranning the line onoe, or may have to do so twice or thriee ; but he is skilful in cunning and fleetnesB that oan ^un the lines even onoe without having hia skin tickled for faim by the hearty applioation of the biroh wielded by some strong woman. As the punisfament is not of a fatal kind, the whole affair creates unrestricted merri¬ ment. For one month afterwards his family are provided by the pnblio at large, under the fatherly superintendence of tbe ohief. At tbe expiration of that time, if he has all his domestio matters in perfect order, aa a good fathei and provident hus¬ band nse A to have, he again resumes bis pUoe in society, and shortly afterwards helps, with an experieneed hand,'to flagel¬ late some, ona else.—[Goultorfs South America.
