Proverbs on Contentment. —The ripest fruit grows on the roughest wall. It is the small wheels of a carriage that come first. The man who holds the ladder at the bottom is frequently of more service than he who is stationed at the top of it. The turtle, though brought in at the area gate, takes the head of the table. Better be the cat in a philanthropist’s family, than a mutton pie in a king’s banquet. The learned pig didn’t learn his letters in a day. True merit, like the pearl inside an oyster, is content to remain quiet until it finds an opening. The top strawberries are eaten the first. He who leaves early, gets the best hat. Pride sleeps in a gilded crown, contentment in a cotton night-cap. Woman’s Eights. —lt is woman’s right to have her home in order whenever her husband returns from business. It is woman’s right to be kind and forbearing whenever her husband is annoyed. It is woman’s right to examine her husband's linen, and see that it wants neither mending nor buttons. It is woman’s right to bo satisfied with her old dresses until her husband can afford her new ones. It is woman’s right to be content when her husband declares he is unable to take her to the sea-side. It is woman’s right to nurse her children, instead of leaving it to the maid. Hon ow ay’s Ointment and Pills.—Fe ah not,— Though surrounded hy circumstances disadvantageous to health, these remedies, properly applied, will cut short fevers, influenza, inflammation, diptheria, and a host of other complaints always lurking about to seize on the weak, forlorn or unwary. The superiority of Holloway’s medicines over others for subduing disease has been so widely and fully proved, that it is only necessary to give them a trial, and, if the instructions folded round them be followed no disapi ointment will ever ensue nor dangerous consequence result. In hoarseness and ulcerated sore throat the Ointment should frequently ho rubbed on the neck and top of the chest; it will arrest the increasing inflammation, allay disquietude, and gradually cure.— CAdvtJ.
