Coughing.—Coughing can sometimes be stopped by pressing on the nerves of the lip in the neighborhood of the nose, <A pressure there will almost eertainly prevent a cough when itis beginning. Itis generally known that sneezing may be stopped by this plan, but it is new to many that it can check coughing. Pressing right in front of ,the ear may also stop coughing. It is also a preventive ef hiccup, but much less so than of sneezing or coughing.

Wet Boots.—Here is a simple way of tak- ing care of wet boots. When first taken off fill them quite full with dry oats. This grain has @ great fondness for damp, and will rapidly absorb the least vestige of it from the wetweather. As it takes up the mois- lure itewells and fills the boot with a tights lysfitting last, keeping its’ form good, and drying the leather without hardening it. In the morning shake out the oats and-hang them in a bag near the fireto dry, ready for the next wet night; and then draw on the boots and go happily about the day’s work.

Ventilating Rooms.—The following simple method fer ventilating ordinary sleeping and dwelling rooms is recommended: A piece ef wood, three inehes high and exactly as long as the breadth of the window, is to be prepared. Let tho sash be now raised, the slip of wood placed onthe sill, and the sash drawn elosely upon it. If the slip had been well fitted, there will be no draught in con- sequence of the displacement of the sash at its lower part; but the top of the lower sash will overlash the bottom of the upper one, and between the two bars, perpendicular currents Of air, not felt as draught, will enter and leave the room.

SHORT ESSAYS.

Who ia wise? He that is teachable. Who is mighty? Be that conquers himself. Who is rich? fle that is contented. Who is honored ? fle that honoreth others,

Charity is never lost; it may meet with ingratitude, or be of no service to those on whom it was bestowed, yet it ever does a work of beauty and grace upon the heart of the giver.

Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death. One proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear.

Self.—Say nothing respecting yourself either good, bad, or indifferent—nothing good, for that is vanity; nothing bad, for that is affectation; nothing indifferent, for thatis silly.

Value of Time.—As nothing truly valuable can be attained without industry, so there can be no persevering industry without a | deep senso of the value of time.

Solitude and Society.—It is easy, in the | world, to live after the world’s opinion ; it is | eary in solitude to live after your own; but the great man ishe who,in the midst of the erowd, keeps with perfect sweetness the in- dependence of solitude.

ltonesty.—There is no man, but for his own interest bath an obligation to be honest. There may be sometimes temptations to be otherwise ; but, all things considered, he shall find it the greatest ease, the highest profit, the best pleasure, the most safety, and the noblest fame to be honest.

Then two wo- men fainted, one of whom suddenly disap- peared in an adjacent coal cellar. Three small boys shouted‘ fire!’ and a man witha long ladder on his shoulders, hearing their cries, turned around suddenly, and after overturning an apple woman amidst the de- moralizing ruin of her wares, the end of the ladder demolished a plate glass window, anit finally seltled itself on an old gentleman's worst corn. Then a fat old lady had an eye goughed out by an umbrella, and a Dutch- man and Irishman, afler excitedly endeavor- ing to explain to each other the cause of it all, got into a fight and rolled recklessly By ths time seven police- men, headed by two fire engines, came upon the scene, and arrested nine innocent lookers on.
