Bow easy it rs "to spoil a life And many are spoilt ere well b?gon? ia botne-light darkened by stn and strife, Ur downward course of a cherished one ; By toil that robs the form of its grace, And undermines till health gives way : Bj the peevish temper, the frowning face, The hopes that go, and the cares that stay. A dayls too long to be spent tn vain ; Some good should come as the hours go by, Some tangled maze may be made more plain, Some lowered glance may be raised on high. And Hirr is too short to spoil like this, if only a prelude it may be sweet, ... Xei tit bind together its threads of bliss, K And nourish the -flowers around our feet. A Study of Husbands. By a. Woman for Women, but Men May Seed it with Profit. We ?ear much, says the Argonaul, about thc art of winning a husband hst na take a step farther, and make a study of keeping a husband. 1 f be ? worth keeping. This ia a wicked world, and man is .mortal. Let us take him just as he is, notas be ought to be. In the first place, he is very weak. The wife most spend the first twa years in discovering these weak? nesses, connt them on her fingers, and learn them by heart. The fingers of both bands will not be too matty. Then let bet study up these weak Besses, with a mesh for every one, and the secret is hers. Is he fond of a good dinner ? Let her tighten the mesh around him with fragrant coffee, light bread and good things generally, and reach hts heart through his stom? acher Ie he fond of nattery about his books ? Ler her stndy the. dic? tionary for sweet words, if her supply gives out. Boes he like to hear her talk about hts brilliant intellect ? Let her pore over the encyclopedia to give- variety to the dearth of her ad? miration. Flattery is a good thing to study up at all hazards in all its delicate shades, but it must be skil? fully done. The harpy who may try to coax him away will uot do it Absurdly.* Is he fond of beauty? Here's the rub-let her bc bright aud tidy; that to half of the victory. Next, let her bang her hair metaphor? ically and keep up with the times. ? husband who sees his wife look like other people is not going to con? soler, her "breiten down." Though it is a common sneer that a woman lias admitted that her sex consider more, in marrying, the tastes Of her friends than her own, yet it must be considered ludicrous that a man looks at his wile with the same eyes that * other people do. Is he fond of liter? ary matters ? Listen to him with w ide open eyes when he talks of them. A man dosn't so much care for a liter? ary wife if only she will be literary enoagh to appreciate him. - If she have literary inclinations, keep them to herself. Men love to be big and great to their wives. That's the reason why a helpless little woman can marry three times to a sensible, self reliant woman's none. Cultivate helpless? ness. Is he curious ? Oh, then, you have, a treasure ; yen can always keep bim if you have a secret and keep it carefully, ls he jealous ? Then wo? man, this is not for you ; cease tor turing that fretted heart which wants you for its own and teach him confi- ! dence, ls he ugly in temper and ! . ?aait finding? Give him a dose of his ' own medicine, skilfully done. Is he deceitful ? Pity him for his weakness ; treat him as one who is born with a physical defect, but put your wits to work-it is a bad case, lt is- well not to be too tame. Men do' not waste their powder and shot on hens and barnyard fowls; they like the pleasure of pursuing wild game quail and grouse and deer. A quail is a good model for a wife-neat and trim, with a pretty, swift-way-about, and just a little capricious. Never let yourself become an old story ; be ^ jost a little uncertain. Another im? portant fact is, don't be too good ; it hurts his feelings aud becomes mo? notonous. Cultivate a pleasant voice, so that this very mortal man may have his conscience prick him when he is in jeopardy ; its pleasant ring will haunt him much more than would a shrill one. It is hard to clo ail this, besides taking care of the babies and looking after vexation* household cares and smiling when he comes home, but it sterns necessary. "To be born a woman is to be born a mar? tyr," says a husband who, for ten years, has watched in amazement his wife treading tiie wine press of her existence, lt is a beautiful sight to some men. But if the wife does not make a study of these things the har? py will, to steal away the honor from his silver hairs when he is full ot years and the father of sons and daughters. At the same time, good wife, keep from trying any of these tilings on any mortal man but your own. These rules are only evolved in order to "keep a husband." The poor weak creature would rather be good than bad, atid it is a woman's duty to hold him by every means in her power. An American tourist quoted by the Independent lecently was received in private interveiw by the exiled A rabi Pasha at his Ceylou residence. The Pasha is living in quiet but magnifi . cent style, his house being described by the gentleman as a model of Orien? tal splendor. He told his guest, in course of their talk, that he was by birth a Spaniard, that he deserted from the Spanish service in conse? quence of a very romantic love affair, ai;d that his marriage, "had been the m ak ing of him." His wife materially augmented his prejudice against the Kngl si) until it became hatred. Ile declared that he had never left the faith of the Roman Catholic Church, and expected to die in ita communion. He also said that his war-making was forever done ; he would never raise fcsnd against England agaiu. Simple Home Remedies. The following remedies for many simple ailmeuts ?we find recommen? ded in Hall's Journal of Health. A nd while the remedies may not be new to many of our readers, they will be found useful to all. We BOW publish them that they may be at hand for ready reference. Half a teaspoonful of common table salt dissolved in a little cold water aud drank will instantly relieve "heart burn" or dyspepsia. If taken every morning before breakfast, increasing the quantity gradually to a teaspoon? ful of salt and a tumbler of water, it will in a few days cure any ordinary caw? of dyspepsia, if at the same time j due attention is paid to the diet. ! There is no better remedy than the above for constipation. As a gargle for Sore throat it is equal to chlorate ! of potash and is entirely safe. It may be used as often as desired, and if a j little is swallowed each time, it will j have a beneficial effect on the throat j by cleansing it and allaying the irrita ? tion. In doses of one to four tea? spoonfuls in half a pint of tepid water it acts promptly af an emetic, and, in cases of poisoning, is always on hand. It is an excellent remedy for bites and stings of insects, lt is a valuable as? tringent in lieraorrages, particularly for bleeding after the extraction of teeth. It has both cleansing and healing prop j erties, and is therefore a most excel ; lent application foi superficial ulcera I tious Mustard is another valuable ! remedy. No family should be with I out it. Two or three teaspoonfuls of grouud mustard stirred into a half pint of water acts as an emetic very'j promtly, and is milder and easier to take than Rait and water. Equal parts of grouud mustard and flour or meal made into a paste with warm water and spread ou a thin piece of muslin, with another piece of muslin laid over it, forms the indispensable '-mustard plaster." lt is almost a specific for colic when applied for a few minutes over the "pit of thc stomach." For all internal pains and congestions there is no remedy of such general util? ity. Itactsasaconnter-initantby draw? ing the blood to the surface ; hence in severe cases of croup a small mus? tard plaster should be applied to the back of the child's neck. The same treatment will relieve almost any case of headache. A mustard plaster should be moved about over the spot to be acted upon, for if left in one place it is liable to blister. A mus? tard plaster acts as well when at con? siderable distance from the affected part. An excellent substitute for mustard plasters is what is known as /'mustard leaves." They come a doz? en in a box, and are about four by five inches. They are perfectly dry, aud will keep lor a long time. For use it is only necessary (o dip one in a dish of water for a minute and then apply it. Common baking soda is best of all remedies in cases of scalds and burns. It may be used on the surface of the burned place either dry or wet. When applied promptly, the sense of telief is magical, lt seems to withdraw the heat and with it the pain, and the healing process soon commences. It is the best application for eruptions by poisonous ivy and other poisonous plants, as also for bites and stings of insects. Owing to colds, over-fatigue, anxiety, and various other causes, the urine is of? ten scanty, highly colored, and more or less loaded with phosphates which settle to the bottom of the ves? sel on cooling. As much soda as can be dipped up with a ten cent piece, dissolved in half a glass of Cold water and drank every three hours, will soon remedy the trouble. - -I - - The Nurse in the Sick Room. i A nurse should be very careful of her personal habits, bathe often, for her own refreshment and to keep her strength up, and wear fresh washable dresses, that neither rustie nor crack? le with starch. I have been so annoy? ed with well meaning women who would take away my breath as they bent over nie with odors of perspira? tion, and hair not kept with nicety, that seemed lo smother the feeble strength left in me. And the chatter? ing nurse who persists in talking a weak patient light-headed-is there any visitation to be compared with her in horror ! Above all thiugs learn to shun the art some people have of talking endlessly and saying nothing, mincing their subjects fine we may say. As 1 have heard a weakish per j souage ofthat ?ort go on, when she knew one was waiting hopelessly for rest and silence with a tired head, "I won't disturb you, but I just thought I'd ask you so as not to have it to say again-very many people don't like it so, but 1 can't know, of course, j without asking yon, and opinions I vary so much you never can tell-now don't 6ay one word and exert yourself j as you ought not to indeed-but will I you have the window shade down ?" I Don't let your ideas flow through j your tongue till it must tremble like j the magnetic needle, and the sense ! less words utter themselves till the I nervous patient nearly takes leave of j sense and sanity together. Learn ! how to talk in a sick room. Don't j talk loud or fast, in the chatter which ! young women imagine is conversa I tion, say little at a time, three or /our ! sentences, not more, and then rest, j and don't expect answers. It diverts j a siek person and sooths him to hear j two other people talking fresh gossip j when he is not expected to join, rath I er than be talked to himself, only the j chat should not be long. 0, it is j with a long apprenticeship in sickness j one's self one comes to know how j light and sound and exertion effect an j invalid, to learn what nervousness j and weakness are, and how little j things sometimes send the forces ebb I ing back to faintness and failure ! which had set hopefully toward health i and safety. Don't fuss around a sick person whom even well-meant attentions wor? ry. Even a bunch of flowers will sometimes "aggravate'7 one-in fact I think, from my own experience, a I great deal too much is made of flow j ers and fancy attentions to sick peo ! pie. I want a well-browned tender i mutton chop, sans fat, gristle or hone, ! on a clean hot plate, without cracks or specks in the ware, a fresh napkin on the tray, and a thick, white towel io spread over the bedclothes to keep them from soi', some good bread, the best on earth is none too good for the sick, but no foolishness of flowers on the tray. Sick people don't want flowers and food together ; the scent of the two doesn't combine well, and there may be insects on the leaves to get into the dishes. Bring the flow? ers in after the meal is all over, put , them in sight in a vase, and say noth j ing about them till the patient's eye j lights on them for himself. Don't put j your hand on a sick person, even in j the way of kindness, unless you are ! very intimate-the too familiar, fre ! quent stroking of one's head is very 'annoying. In case of headache, ask if it wonlk be agreeable to soothe it with your lianas, and see that they are both cool and clean before you i touch any one. A warm moist hand j never ought to touch another person, I sick or weil, if your hands are apt I to be moist, rub them with the fine ! soapstone powder used for gloves. Wide Awoke for April. -m m - - A deaf old fellow, charged with stealing a hog, was arraigned before a court. The jury without leaving the box returned a verdict of guilty. 'Old man/ said his lawyer, 'the jury says you are guilty.* 'Hay V 'The jury says you are guilty,' shouting in his ear. .In what degree ?' 'There are no de? grees in a stealing case.' 'Hay?' 'There are no degress.' 'Guilty all over, aw I?' 4Yes.' 'Hay?1 'Yes,' yelling at the top of his voice. .Well, .that's what I told you at first, but you said you could clear me. Wish, now that I had got the judge to defend me. Will set him next time.'-Arkansaw Trav eler. Disease is an effect, not a cause. Its origin is within: its' manifestations without.
