A good wife is the grefttest Muthly blessing. A wife neTermftkes ft greater mistftke thftn when she endeaTonrs to coerce her hasband with otbor wei^ns than those of love and flection. Those weapons ara a sore poll if he has any thing hnman left in him. Forbear matnal ipbraidings. lii writing letters, dojpng temporary separation, let nothing contrary to lofe and â- incere affsotion be expressed; such letters from a wife ha» a most powerful emotional eflfeet, sometimes Uttle understood by those ' who write them. It is the mother who moulds the character and destiny of the child as to the e^ctenors, therefore, let calmness, peace, affection^ and firm- ness rule her conduct towards hec children. CJbildren aregreaji imitators,, whether they hate scolding or peaeeful mothers, they are generidly snr^ to learn from tiie examples set bi^iee them, aoA thus the coneeouest jay or sorrow is transferred to ouev^fitmflies, therefoie let mothers take heed to their conduct. It is not possible to exercise judgment and prudence too much before entjsring on the married life. Be sure that the affections on both sides ara so perfectly intertwined around each other, that the two as it were, form one mind tbis reqnirea time, and a thorough mutual koowl* edge on both sides. Bend your whole powers to avoid deprecatory remarks, jibing and anger in every form, and specially avoid everlastingly dishing up any unsuccessful past action that was done from a good monve nd hoaewaid to a broken hearted wifi, wkoei noble self-sacrificing devotion to him seems to partake mon of tiie nature ci heaven than of earth. Never part, even for a j(mmey» with* out kind and endearing wads, and as a kiss symbolises umon from interior afiection, do not dupeuse with it on such occasions, repeatAig it when yon return. In one word^ list loxe rule supreme. l»rsUtM*n«s.

This information is of immense value to those engaged in breeding horses. Mr. I. H. Dahlman, of New York City, said "I handle between 9,000 and 10,000 horses annoally. Of the draft hones I handle, the greatei proprntion â€" ^nearly allâ€" ara Norman-Pereherons. Thee* hwsee axe docile, intelligent, easily broken, steady in harness, powsrfnlandeompaatly built. They are short in the baek. deep in the body and broad in the ohest. They haye the best feet of any horses in America. I do not want it understood that oil Norman horses have these goodLQiu^ties. I have seen some im* ported thsji were as badly shaped horses as could be foivd. Long in the baek, narrow waisted and not worth their freight from Franeehere. Tbatdassof horaes is «ly imported by people who buy them to sell and not to l»eed.*' In regard to tha Cljdeadale homes Mic. Dahlman said: **I will giva yon noeritieisia. I buy veiy few of them.
