Uskfcl Facts.?Water, when hot, dissolves
more salt, sugar, <kc., than when it is
cold. Hence the utility of pouring hot salt
and water over articles to prepare them for
l>icklincr. and hot svrnn unon preserved fruit*:
tor the salt or sugar that would crystallise as
the liquid cooled is talcen up by the fruit,
?fec., which being heated also absorbs more
than it could be made to do if it were put i n
cold.
Couutino in the country is altogether, a
different institution from the city article. In
the country you get rosy lq>s, sweet cider,
jonny-cake, and girls made by nature; and
thocity a collection of starch phrases, formal
manners, fine silk, irrcat iewelrv. and frirl?

got up sccundcm or/em. Always take the
rural district when you want to get a good
style of calico.
Issuer Comforts.?Insects generally
must lead a truly joyful life. Think what it
must be to lodge in a lily. Imagine a palace
of ivory or pearls, with pillars of silver
and capitals of gold, all exhaling such a perfume
as never rose from human censer.?
Fancy, again, the fun of tin kling yourself
tip for the night in the folds of a rose, rocked
to sleep by the gentle sighs of the summer
air, and nothing to do when you awake
but to wash yourself in a doiv-drop, and to
fall to and eat your bedclothes. One canr.ot
indeed wonder at the amenity of an earwig.
or the suavity of a lady-bird under
6uch circumstances.
-What Constitutes Evil??The christian
combat is a combat principally against
f dse and inferior goods, which would pass
i* ? i .1 i i . .r
iv>r u iir, mm usurp ute mgucr place oolyngipg
to the true : and (lie christian victory
consists in the right subordination of goods,
when the true are exalted above the false,
the eternal above the temporal ; and thus
each aranged according to its proper excellency
and worth. Evil, properly considered,
is nothing but good unarranged, that is, insubordinate
; as when an iufeiior good, such
ns self and the world, is exalted above the
supreme good of the love of*God and our
neighbor.
Genealogical Query.?A correspondent
of the Louisville Times gives that paper the
following genealogical query to answer: "I
was on a steam boat, bound for New Orleans;
westoppedat a biutl* bank on this Mississippi
for wood. A long, lank, gawky hack-woodsman,
with a rille, etc., came rushing aboard,
asking every body lie met if Capt. G was
aboard. Somebody asked him what he
wanted with Capt. G ? "He's a kinsman
of mine,' said the uncouth. 'Ay; what
ltin ?' 'He's daddy to my wife's first child.'
Now, sir, I want to know what the clationship

True Aim in Life.?We ought to think
much more of walking in the right oath than
of reaching our end. Wc should desire virtue
more than success. If by one wrong
deed we could accomplish the liberation of
millions, and in no other way, we ought to
feel that this good, for which, perhaps, we
had prayed with an agony of desire, was denied
as by God, was reserved for other times
and other hands.? Charming.
It often requires more courage, to live than
it does to die. The man who struggles on
through years of misfortuue, without once
thinking of bed-coid or arsenic, possesses
much more heroism than all the suicides
that ever lived. Never call a inan a hero

Frenoh Women.
We extract the following from ''Parisian
Life and French Principles," a very readable
work recently published by the Harpers:
''A 'female-rights orator' has asserted, that
if woman had more of the occupations of
men they would be more virtuous. By that
rule the women of Fnincc ought to far excel
in that respect, their sisters of America.
I will say nothing cf their laboring in the

soon rubs out of them all female softness, but
confine myself to the more agreeable duties
which they have usurped from man. Indeed,
a man is but ft secondary being in a
scale of French civilization. The 'dames a
comptoir' are as essential to the success of a
Parisian cafo as the cook himself. More
hats lire doft'ed at their shrines than before
the gayest bells of the metropolis. My boot
maker, for the head of the establishment, is a
woman; my hatter also; my landlord is a
dignified specimen of "fair, fat and forty,"
my porter of the same sex, older in years
and worse in looks; my butcher, milkman,
and the old clothes woman, newsboy and rag
gatherer beneath my window, ditto. They
are waiters at the balls, door-keepers at the
theatres, ticket sellers, fiddlers, chair letters
of the churches. They finger in every revolution
and have a tongue and arms in
every fight; in short they are at the top and
bottom of everything iti f'ranee. They have
so pushed aside the lords of creation, that
lor some tune my sympathies were really
alive to know what men had left to do, until
I finally discovered that they h;ul the resource
of becoming chamber maids.
Hut there is one discovery the reformist of
the sex can make in l'aris, to which I beg
narticulary to call their attention, and that
is, how to preserve the freedom of their
'limbs' and their peticoats also. Bloomerism
has no chanco of success. A French
lady, by a sleight of hand in lifting her
dress, can cross tire dirtiest streets, promenade
through the mud and mire, and bring
home unsullied, the whitest stockings and
purest skirt. She does it too. with a natural
grace and modesty which is perfectly charmI

(Burdens for Working Men.
The possession of a garden, with adisposi
! tion to cultivate, and its non-possession, with
a tendency to undervalue such an appendage
i to a cottage, constitute a broad line of separ,
ation between two great classes of the poor.
It is impotatible vo look at the humblest
dwelling, with a few plants in the window,
and a well cultivated garden in the front,
without feeling a conviction that its inhabi
tuntsmusi be more contented and happy than
theme whose plots are neglected, and whose
rooms are guiltless of green leaves and flowers.
We are not disposed to run into the absurd
error of thanking that such tastes are always
associated with purity?far from it. But we
can afllnn, from a long and close acquaintance
with the habits;of the poor, that a
raised state of moral feeling is both the cause
And the effect of a lore of nature* The productions
we cultivate have a strong charm,
and secure the attention with extraordinary
ppwer. If,-therefore, a working man has a

with the splash it made she placed herself

We will pass the many exciting am

The returns were all in with the ox

test thus far was so close that the dis
parity between the highest and lowest

hung upon the result of the 0110 poll

by the votes of the balance, the resul
in this was in extreme doubt. Tin
three competitors became exceedingly
alarmed: the friends of each wen
thrown into a.state of painful anxiety
and the sporting gentlemen felt a
