HINTS FOR HUS BANDS. (From a Laly's Note book.)

HTuhnufuion to their husband.' wilts and whims. But of hvii ' toaftlier in harmony is o very difficult art ; in the nlmliterft deg<-eu, confuting! the positions He author of the aiore nid rules, we offer the following of w'int n tufe likes in a husband. i» h,T 1 eirt'a firat and moat just demand.

She likes by her own «ex a fortunate woman, having iis sho '■at- She has a taste fa* the respectto have n good looking house, and to keep up s generally.

A B ma> pwfitably consult hi 3 wife on almost any project ; B« duo to her that lie should do so, and she i» glad to be lifDote most other things, a wife craves from her husband reciation. The great majority of wives lead lives of ;re and anxious tod. With peril to their lives they ome mothers Their chddren require incessant care. It' impossible to conceive a rootber'a agonizing anxieties. i.nd besides her maternal cores a wife is the quoen-regent household kingdom. She has to plan, and think, and k for everybody. If, in all her labours and cares, she i that she has her husband's sympathy and gratitude, if lelps her where a man can help a woman, if he notices her rts, applauAhher skill, and allows her deficiencies, all is I But to endure all this, and yet meet -with, no appreItmg word, or glance, or act from him (or whom and for lose she toils and bean, it very bitter. B^fe likes her husband to show her all due respect in Rttence of others ; she cannot bear to be either reproved [criticised by him when others can hear it. Indeed, it is ost wrong in a husband thm to put his wife to shame. Wo Lnnot help seprotly admiring the spirit displayed by the 'rcncliwomnn, who, when her' husband had so wronged her, efused ever to utter a word, and for twenty years lived in lie house a dumb woman. We admire her spirit, though lot her mode ef manifesting it. Husbands owe the most rofonnd respect to fieir wives a« the mothers of their chilren. No man has the slightest cam to the character of a bntleman who is not more scrupulously polite to his wife ban to another woman. We refer 1 orj to the essential of oliteness, not its forms; we mean kindness and justness in [ttle. tilings. A wife likes her husband to be considerate. Unexpected lindness and unsolicited favours touch the heart. She appreciates the softened tread when she il ill ; she kjoys tie gift from a distance, and everything that proves ■her that her husband thinks of 1 or comfort and good, ■isbands, reflect on these things. Your wife has confided B happiness to you. You can make it unspeakably ■etched, if you are ignoble and shortsighted. Let the con■kbctween man and wife be this — which shall do most for ra happiness of the other.

' Fbeb Newspapers.— Amongst tbe "Notes" in the Timaru Herald is the following :— " Why is it that the public for the most part hold curious views as to the nature Mid v»hio of newspaper property? Why is it that the lewspaper proprietor is treated in different fashion to other business mortals? No one would dream of asking the merchant for a bag of flour as a gift, but there are many Lftn unblushingly ask the newspaperman for* free piper. Managers of Mechanic*' Institutes are the greatest sinners in this line. If a paper is worth having it is worth paying For, is a maxim we ourselves have of late religiously followed, and in carryin i it out we have revised our free lilt heavily, dwindling it to the smallest proportions. \ free pap«r is bj^w means ' free ' to the man whose capital produces it, buWt means in the twelve mouths a very appreciable outlay in hard cash, besides that expanded in clerical labor, laid when some dozens of copies an» down as ' dead heads' the loss entailed to a business is large. Besides this tax on good nature anil pocket the newspaper proprietor must stand the racket of another loss — a loss to which other businesses are uot liable. When iron rises and sugar is high, it is the customer and not the merchant who has.t j pay the difference in cost. But tbe newspaper proprietor cannot so regulate the market m between himself and his cnttomers. The price of his paper is fixed, and is in a manner unalterable, aqd placed as that price is at the lowest limit possible, he stands in the unenviable position of lifting lnble to lose, and rarely if ever to gain by the difference in that ptice which ruled at the ontset; and, of conrse, a in tbe cost of paper or printing material is to him a JjPect and substantial loss For many months past both paper and printing material— the former especially — have risen considerably, and we but name this fact as our reason for reducing our free list, and aq a hint that we may very possibly reduce it still further." Dr Weidenbusch of Weisbaden, highly recommends steam a* a fire-cxtingui«mer, and suggests experiments as to the best method of emplojing it »s well by the use qf portable boiler? (where the connecting pipes would produce tbe chief difficult v) n* by pipes and boilers arrang-d for each building. As an illu«i ration of iti eflieacy, he gave the case of a factory about 196 feet long and 33 feet wide, tbe garret of which was filled with rags, •havings, leather-scraps, &c, in which when the fire was detected, half the roof was burning. The fire apparatus arrived about, an hour afterward and the extinguishing appliances of the building itself were bo defective that the whole roof was in flames and htd fallen in, and the lower story was on fire in different places. Aboujt !vo hours and a half after the outbreak of the fire, a steamier separate from tbe building, and not in use for some urs, was fired up with wood, and the cast-iron pipes were Kby a daring carpenter, who entered a room of the burnk building. The effect was instantaneous. The room, lied with the steam issuing under high pressure (which, owt'ver, he does not consider essential), soon darkened, one ortion afteilfwiother coased to burn, even tbe heaps of raus n the garret, with free access of air, were gradually ex.nguished. and after half an hour all danger was regarded s past. The effect was too marked to be ascribed to tho re-engines operating during the same time, and the firemen »vre more nnd more impressed with the fact that their labor was superfluous as the steam came into play. Wo (North Otago Time*) have recoiyed a letter from a lndy in Dunedin. She lately arrived from the Isle of Man. Her letter is, etrange to cay, " crossed," and has two postrripts. It is like an Act of Parliament in one respect — it hao no " stops," The subject of the letter is " Marriage." | At this is a subject which seldom or never enters a lady's its novelty ia pleasing. Our lady friend says "I wish Wo sty a word in behalf of the highly educated and domci- ! iieated unmarried women of England and France. In the latter country especially, there are, owing to the late war, a host of pretty and good marriageable ladies. Indeed both countries, and I may say Prussia, are overcrowded with eligible candidates for marriage, who, in any opinion, are I very ounprior to young women reared in the colonies." She addi, " Wealthy colonial bachelors and widowers should certutnlv l'o home for wires " i Tiio Sylneif Morning Herald has the following respecting ' the loss of two lads overboard from the ship Cape Clear: — A very «ad and fatal accident occurred on board the ship Cape Clear while on her passage to Sydney. On 25th July, the day previous to her falling in with the Dallam Tower, I the ship running before a stiff breeze and high sea, an apprcn* I tice named Alfred Jones fell from the mizen-top-gallant ' ntriking the shin's rail and going, overboard. Immediately on the alarm being given a life-buoy was thrown to him, and | bufof* any one could interfere, a fellow-apprentice named William Dunnall iprang over the side to assist his shipmate. A boat with four hands was promptly lowcrod, and pulled in the direction pointed out from the ship, but after an f absence of over an hour, was compelled to return without having succeeded in picking up either of the unfortunate boys. Honro Greely thus bits the nail on the bead :—": — " It is etringe how closely men read the papers. Wo never say anything that anybody don't like, but we are sure to soon hear of it. If, however, once in a while, we happen to say a good thing, we never hear of that. We pay a man a hundred compliment*, and give him A dteen puffs, make spe ehes for him, and out of nonsensical harangues made on public platforms make him appear to any somothing brilliant, and takes it all as a tribute to his greatness, and he never thinks it does him any good. But if we happen to say things this man don't like, or something he imagines is a reflection on his character, see how quick he gets mad and flares up about it. Al| our evils are duly chalked against us ; but we never apparently get any credit for what good we do." A fool, a barber, and a bald-headed man were travelling together. Losing their way, they were forced to sleep in the open air ; and ( o avert danger, it was agreed to watt h by turn". The lot first fell on the barber, who, for amusement, shaved the fool's head while he was sleeping. He then woke him and the fool, raising his hand to scratch h» head, exclaimel, " Here's a pretty n istake ; you have awakjned the b ild-hc.ided man instead of me."

Dr. Schultz. Wf Chicago. lia^« tho merit, say* the Medica Press and Circular, of litiving inrented something iinmistnknbly new, and of explaining one of the deficiencies of the mechanism of the circulation in ninn ; but at the risk, we think, of a prolonged incarceration for manslaughter should any fatal result ensue fro a thecvt.icrnnents Vrliioh ha* c been, performed onrfchis ocea^-on, not only on lho s " eorpn i vile "of a setter's pitp, but on hta own oliild Tlio f jramen ovale admiUelly in some diving in immnltt (ts in tho *«il) is open, to allow free circulation duriuu Hio pr.lon;cd plunges of three cretlures. Dr. Schultz, influenced by such observations, , directed lit* attention \o transforming human beings into diving animals, by obtaining tho non-closuw of thw opening in the early period of life, lie proceeded, submitting the new-born puppies of a setter to the experiment, by im inciting them in warm water at blood heat, and keeping thorn immersed from two to five minutes he found that no unpleasant result! followed. Fortunately or unfortunately as the ewe may bo, a little Schultz was, at this conjuncture, projected into this terra incognita. Tho parent determined on liis being; amphibious, and ou receiving this pleasing token of affection,. lie immened it into a pail of water heated to blood temperature, and kept it below the surface for four minutes; nfrer so>no seconds the blood "found its way ;)ir>n^h the oramen ovale." Thu process was repeated d uly, so me tiro «A as often as fire times in the twenty -four hmr*, till the f little Schultz could remain submerged for twenty-five iniilutes at a ttme, and no doubt as growth increases ho will lerfect himself in amphibiosity. Should the Gulf Strenm.be propitious, and no uncliarit able iceberg intcrjjo«e 'its/|hi ling influence, we may espeel a herd of Sohujtzjs or;off Chicago folks to bask u'eelf on the rocks at Qiieenstown, after a series of transatlantic di»es A Massachusetts editor lost a paying subscriber by death ; t'm other day, which called forth tho following editorial tribute to thf memory of the deceased :—" Death seems to lurk behjiYd evert rail, fence, and hay-stack in this vicinity, mid lie in waitnor our" prominent and choicest citizens. To-day we foe it, to-morrow wo don't. Ah, who can t«ll what a week may bring forth in 6iicli a country nsthis? Death has again turned u flip-flap nnd come down flat-foot-ed in our midst, and snatched from among us ono ol the best advertiser* and subscribers we ever had. lie possessed the love, confidence, and esteem of nil who knew him, nnd some who did not, and, save a slight poker debt to Mr. , did not owe a cent in the world." A Tenton, disgusted with the disrespect of Good Friday by the Yankee*, exclaimed, ' Mem Gott! Mem Gott! what a country ! What a peoples ! Only two holy days, and one is Fourth of July and the other April Fools ! '
