JUNE. Preservation of Health.
The directions for May are applicable to this month. Too free a use of raw vegetable matters is apt to bring on attacks of flatulent colie; immediate relief from the pain of which may be obtained from a tea-spoonful of paragoric in a glass of brandy. But when advice can be procured it should be resorted to, as the above ano- dyne would be highly improper in the event of inflam- mation supervening.
In this month the advance of the dew-point, and of the daily temperature are nearly equal. The energy of the,sun's beams is at its height, and also its mean effort at mid-day.
Telescopes for astronomical purposes magnify 1000 times, or upward; i. e. objects appear so much nearer
than when seen by the naked eye; such a telescope would exhibit the moon as seen by a person only 240 miles distant from her. The object-glass of the tele- scope forms an image of the moon, and then the eye- glass magnifies that image, as a common microscope magnifies the image of a fly, or any other object sub- mitted to its powers. Galileo was the first astronomer who used the telescope: his telescope magnified about thirty times; but being the first reaper in the rich field of astronomical science, his toil was amply rewarded, and he made with this small instrument several most important discoveries; in about a year, amongst other things, lie discovered the satellites of Jupiter, and the nebula in Orion, and observed, that the planet Venus exhibited appearances similar to our moon.
Remember that it makes a fault worse, to endeavour to conceal it.
Roguery with a pretext is double roguery

The best practical rule of morality is, never to do any thing which you would be unwilling that all the world should know.
Concealment is a species of lie; and always betokens cowardice at the heart.
There is no surer mark of an incorrigible wrong- docr, than to have an excuse in his mouth for every fault.
There cannot be a greater treachery than first to raise a confidence, and then to deceive it .- Spectator.
Sincerity is to speak as we think; to do as we pretend and profess; to perform and make good what we pro- mise; and really to be what we would seem and appear to be.
Some of the leading principles in domestic economy may be comprised in a few words.
For instance :-
Ready money procures the best market.
Keep a minute account of every outlay, however trifling.
HOW TO RULE A HUSBAND.
Marry a man who has few relatives, chiefly women -they being least powerful. Try to reside near your own parents, so as to run home on every trifling occa- sion to complain, and add every thing that may pro- voke his resentment-the earlier after marriage the better, so as to bring him down in his wedding shoes, as the saying is. If hic is a man of good manners, he

will, of course, take it patiently, and contradict you no more. Thus, having him under management, com- pel him to give you all the money he gets, and watch him lest he keeps back a trifle, as wives can take best care of money. Be very cautious, if on such occa- sions he gives a rough answer, to go immediately to your father, and cry ready to break your heart, de- claring you have been cruelly beaten; then show on your arms, previously rubbed with charcoal, as though he pinched you. If you have any female neighbours, of animated character, give them a pre- sent now and then to swear they heard your cries, and saw him attempt to kill you with a shovel. Should your friends, (in dread of supporting you, ) advise you to make up, be at peace, &c., go immediately into a fit, and hold your breath until you are black in the face-if they have any humanity in them they will fly to the wretch at home, pull his hair, tread on his toes, kick him, and if he turns upon them, as such a mon- ter miglit offer to do, run out, cvery mother's son of you, crying murder. The noise brings evidence, so that only lifting his hand is enough-all go the justice, though a hundred, and bind him over to the peace .- This nabs him, and thus, should be be wise enough to know his duty, and live with you again, will bring him completely into your power, and you may with safety correct him, having now completely tamed your hus- band.

JULY. Preservation of Health.
In those who are corpulent, the perspiration induced in hot weather is apt to cause a miliary eruption on the skin, similar to the prickly heat of hot climates. It is casily moderated by wearing calico next the skin to absorb the acrid perspiration; and by employing a cool regimen and free ventilation, to render the exudation of the skin milder. It is a mistaken notion to suppose that wine and spirits are useful in this state of habit; even a small proportion of these stimulants often pro- duces a deleterious effect. One of the best preventives is a frequent change of linen. Take off flannel which has been worn next the skin, in this month; and use, once or twice, the tepid bath.
In hot weather, those predisposed to spittings of
blood, are in great danger of an attack of that disease. When medical advice is not at hand, it is of impor- tance to know, that the bleeding may be moderated by placing the patient in a sitting position, giving him small doses of rice or iced water, and keeping the trunk of the body as cool as possible, while, at the same time, the extremities are kept warm.
In this month the increase of vapour is rather greater than that of temperature, and both approach their maximum.
Each little partiele of light, which enters our eyes from the nearest fixed stars, has perfomcd a journey of above four hundred days; and yet this light moves 520,000 times faster than a cannon ball moves, when it rushes from the mouth of the cannon. How distant, therefore, must be the nearest star! Clusters of stars

very close to cach other, are called Nebule, or Clouds, from their appcaring to the naked cye like white clouds. All these nebulæe, however, are not composed of small stars; many consist of self-luminous matter, which the fertile imagination of astronomers has supposed to be the creative matter, from which suns and worlds are forincd. The most remarkable of these nebula is that in the sword-handle of the constellation Orion : there is some resemblance between its form, and that of the head, suout, and jaws, of some monstrous animal.

The man whose word can always be dependeil upon, is sure to oc always honoured.
There is nothing more worthy of a man than truth; nothing makes him fcel himself so despicable as a lie.
Men often act lies without speaking thein. All false appearances arc lics. All shuffling and prevarication are lies.
When a bad man puts on the guise of a good man, he is then the most bad.
A habit of lying in small things leads on to a habit of lying in great; and then a man is wholly detestable. The hypocrite is a man whose whole life is a lic.
Be not tempted to purchase any unnecessary article by its apparent cheapocss.
If your means will allow it, do not buy in very small quantities articles in constant family use, and which are not perishable.
Whoever can take delight in reading a ghost story, or a newspaper, would learn some science of real use, with little more trouble and with much more plea- sure.
INDIAN SAGACITY.
Travelling a few years since through that portion of our country held and occupied by the Chickasaw tribe of Indians, I was constrained to halt a few days, to re- cruit myself and horse at a half breed's hut. When about to depart, I sought my host, but he was out hunting. I therefore called upon an old Indian (an inmate of the hut) for my bill. Five dollars was the demand. I presented a bank-note for the amount. Hc refused it; but on my turning my pockets, and exliib- iting my portmanteau, to show that I was absolutely destitute of coin-hc, with much apparent reluctance, agreed to take the note. He then went out, leaving it in my hands, and shortly returned, to my astonish- ment, bearing a pair of steelyards. He took the note, compared the figures thereon with the 5 on the steel- yards, laughed, shook my hand with great satisfaction, and cried che-ke-nah,-(good-'tis right.)

AUGUST.
Preservation of Health.
One of the best modes of preserving health, and in- vigorating the constitution against the evils of the ap- proaching winter, is the daily use of the cold batlı. In many habits, however, the plunging bath is hurtful, by the absence of that reaction which causes the glow on the skin of those who are benefited by bathing. In these cases, the shower bath is often useful, but, when no reaction even follows its use, the individual should sponge the trunk of the body with cold salt water, or vinegar and water, before rising in the morning, whilst the limbs are kept warm in bed.
The particulars of this month do not vary much from the preceding; the warm nights continue and the heat
of the day is undiminished. Evaporation is the same as in the last month.
In warm weather meat should be carefully examined; powdered charcoal will preserve it from taint; Pyrolig- neous acid will effect this better -Meat and vegetables that are frozen should be soaked in cold water several hours before dressing.
Where stars are discovered in the midst of the self- luminous matter, called a nebula, the stars seem to have driven off the nebula, and appear situated on a dark ground, surrounded by the luminous matter. Thus there is a nebula in Sagitarius broken into three parts; this fracture forms three dark roads through the lunii- nous matter, and where these roads meet, and in the centre of thic nebula, is situated a beautiful double star. Again, Mr. Poud, on looking through Mr. Ramage's telescope, lately erected at the Royal Observatory, at

the nebula in Orion before mentioned, discovered a curious circumstance-in the midst of this nebula are three stars nearly in a straight line, and the light of the nebula appears to have receded from them in a semicircular form.
Since custom is the powerful magistrate of man's life, let men, by all means, endeavour to obtain good customs.
Certainly custom is most perfect, when it beginneth in young years. This we call education; which is noth- ing but an early custom.
To inure young persons to bear patiently small in- juries, is a capital branch of education : nothing tends more effectually to secure them against great injuries.
A man who gives his children habits of truth, indus- try, and frugality, provides for them better than by giving them a stock of money.
Nurture passeth nature.
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
There are no gains without pains.
Then help hands, I have no lands.
What we call time enough always proves little enough.
One " come boys" is better than two " go boys."
It is by the mouth that the cow gives milk.
A little neglect may breed a great mischief: for want C
of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; for want of a horse the man was lost.
Provisions are cheap or dear according to seasons. A sensible man will allow nothing for luxuries unless his income be beyond the reach of accident.
It was once asked, How are we to know a wise man from a fool? It was answered, Turn them both out naked among strangers, and you will see.
A wise man is strong, saitli Solomon; yea, a man of wisdom increaseth strength.
Test Act .- A Hopeful Legislator .- An anecdote on this subject is travelling the conversaziones. A young noble legislator, Lord C., is reported to have called upon one of the ministers, and inquired " what the Test and Corporation business was-whether it was connected with corn or the colonies? ' The minister is'reported to have replied, " Never mind-godown and vote against it."
An Expensive Job .- A gentleman passing a coun- try church while under repair, observed to one of the workmen that he thought it would be an expen- sive job. ' Why, yes,' replied he, ' but in my opin- ion we shall accomplish what our minister has en- deavoured to do for the last thirty years in vain.'
" What is that?' said the gentleman. ' Why bring all the parish to repentance.'
