Morristown, post town, 19 miles N. W. of Newark; stands on a small creek which empties into the Passaic.
JANUARY. Preservation of Health.
Catarrhs, rheumatisms, and all inflammatory dis- cases, are prevalent in this month : nothing is so likely to produce them as sudden exposure to heat after a person has remained long in the cold air. Cold renders the habit of body more susceptible of impressions; the effect, therefore, of coming into a hot room from cold, is a quickcoed action of the blood-vessels, which fre- quently arises to inflammation. Running very quick, after having stood shivering in the cold for sonic time, is likely to produce the same bad effects.
Chilblains are prevented by whatever strengthens the general habit; and by promoting the circulation in the fingers and the fect by friction.
In the first month of the year, which, in the most natural division of the seasons, constitutes the second month of the winter quarter, heat is at its lowest in all ts particulars.
Science in its most comprehensive sense only means nowledge; in its ordinary sense it means knowledge educed lo a system, that is, arranged in a regular or- ler, so as to be conveniently taught, easily remember- .1, and readily applied.
All ages have seen the importance of holding in the memory those pithy sayings, which express, in a few words, some important portion of the rale of life. Such, pre-eminently, is the golden rule of our Saviour. " Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye cven so likewise unto them." It is added, " For this is the law and the prophets;" in other words, this is the essence both of religion and morality. A series of the best of these suggestions, meeting the eye in a work of daily consultation, like an almanac, must be attended with salutary effects. It is part of the plan of the present work to afford a selection of them in the monthly divisions of the calendar, and to continue them in the successive publications of successive years.
HOW TO RULE A WIFE.
It once upon a time so happened that a man who had some dispute with his wife, gave her a moderate chastisement --- upon which the fair one ran home and complained to her father. The father, pretending to be in a desperate rage nt the husband, said -- " What ! has the scoundrel really had the impudence to beat my daughter? Well, I shall be revenged upon him, for I am determined to beat his wife;" which he did, and sent hier home, and was no more troubled with the quarrels of the parties.

FEBRUARY. Preservation of Health.
The generally damp state of the atmosphere in this month renders the habit liable to diseases of checked perspiration; it is, therefore, of great importance to keep up a uniform action of the cutaneous vessels by wearing flannel next the skin, regulating the bowels, and avoiding all sudden alternations of heat and cold.
No person should take medicine in this month with- out advice.
Croup is not an unfrequent consequence of the cold easterly winds, which sometimes prevail in this month. It runs its course very rapidly; and often requires the most energetic practice of the most experienced phy- sician to arrest its tendency to a fatal issue. When modical aid cannot inimediately be obtained, an emc- tic should be given, leeches applied to the throat, and doscs of calomiel exhibited at intervals till the mouth be affected. But in this disease, as all others, we cau- tion parents from any attempt to cure it, without the best professional assistance.
The mean temperature of this month increases. This accession takes place principally while the sun is above the horizon.
Sow, towards the end of the month, marrowfat peas and the larger sorts of beans; also a little early com- mon and red cabbage, savoys, round spinach, and small salad herbs.
Learning what we did not before know, besides the use it may be of, is in itself a pleasure, which gratifies the mind, elevates us above low pursuits, refines the passions, and gives reason power to control their vio- lence.
Happiness is less valued when we possess it, than when we have lost it.
Adversity borrows its sharpest sting from our impa- tience. Do not, therefore, as most men, deem your own misfortunes always the greatest.
The best thing to be done, when evil comes upon us, is not lamentation, but action; not to sit and suffer, but to rise, and seek the remedy.

Beware of self-love: the absurd preference which a he replied with great gallantry, " Your ladyship's two man gives himself over others, is the cause of most fol- lips before all the roses in the world." lies and most vices in the lives of men.
" Save me from my friends, and I'll take care of my foes," says the Spanish proverb. But who shall save thee from thyself?
The evil I bring upon myself is the hardest to bear. If you would be happy, beware of letting present pleasures make you forget future pains.
AFFECTATION AND VANITY REBUKED. . Said Ann to her mother, (affecting to pout) " That impudent man I detest!
I can't show my face, within doors or without, But I meet the full gaze of that pest."
" Don't you think, my dear ma, that a few hours ago, After passing him (would you believe it!)
He turn'd himself round, and he star'd at me 80- So steadily-none can conceive it !"
" Be cautious, my child-there is company here- And you may for imprudence be blamed;
Who told you of all that impertinence, dear?" " Why, I saw it, and was so ashamed!"
"Avoid affectation and vanity too," The mother replied with a smile-
" When you saw him so steadily looking at you, Pray where did you look all the while?"
GALLANT BON-MOT.
A fashionable countess, asking a young nobleman which he thought the prettiest flowers, roses or tulips?

Given to an Englishman as the best mode for killing a flea.
Dat your meaning meet no sheck, Put lassh shain about his neck; Den of neighbours get one host, And drag him vid main force to post; Put one twish upon his snout,

DEFINITION OF A CONUNDRUM.
Dr. Cogan says, that the studied confusion of ideas may, in some connexions, be productive of wit,-and of " such stuff conundrums are made." For example, if it be asked,
Why is a man in the upper part of a house committing theft, like a man of the strictest virtue? The answer is,
Because he is above, committing a bad action.
Here is confusion of ideas, enough to satisfy any lover of conundrums, produced by inserting a single comma.

MARCH. Preservation of Health.
The north-cast winds which prevail in March dry the surface of the body, check perspiration, and cause pleurisy, croup, and other pulmonary complaints; they also chap the skin of children, and are extremely det- simental to young infants, who should not be exposed to these winds. Nothing is so injudicious as efforts to harden young children by sending them out in cold weather.
With this month commences the spring quarter; the seed-time of the husbandman, when it is so important to the interests of agriculture that the superfluous mois- turc should be exhaled from the carth, which would prevent the proper preparation of the soil, and destroy the germinating principle of the grain. By n wise pro- vision of nature, therefore, the temperature of this
month advances a greater number of degrees than the dew-point rises.
I take Goodness in this sense; " The secking the weal of men." This, of all virtucs, is the greatest; being the character of the Deity; and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing; no better than a kind of vermin .- Bacon.
Take all occasions of. rendering small services; re- membering, that " Small matters win great commen - dation." The reason is, that small services are con- tinually in use, and in view; whercas the occasion of any great virtuc cometh rarely.
No man ever did a designed injury to another, with- out doing a greater to himself
Nothing more casy than to do mischief; nothing more difficult than to suffer without complaining.
He that walketh uprightly, saith Solomon, walketh surely.
