By T.K

f o we hfive got our Ruakin. en war and political economy. What about domestic happiness ? I wonder exactly how our Ruidp, pliilosophf-r, and friend would have answered, if that question had been put to him suddenly ; for rumour hath it that bat little of it fell to his share. Hard fate seemed to pat very severely to the test, the principles that he laid down so clearly. How be stood it, gossip has surmised, but pro bably thetrath has nevertold; bat apart from Kußkin and his fascinating writ ings, if men would only make use of the intelligence with which most of thrm aro endowed, they could easily ttmderstand, that no incomplete fabric, (whether of church, State, or hme), can be habitable and enduring. It m*y be a Bheiter for a time, but when the floods come, and the winds blow, and the rama beat, it falls, and great is the fall thereof. Too long men have noted as though all that need be dose, to seenre the ctmmon weal of Home, is to pat a wise and competent woman in command, and then take the State apartments for thfcir own exclusive use. A woman may be firm, discreet, tender and true, and yet her wise deviviogs and tender providinga for others can seldom be wrought out into gracious and beneficient actions—actions fitted to prevent war and waste—without the hearty cooperation of the Occupant of the State-apartments. If he is sel fish and vain and indolent, it cannot be well with the rest of the household. If be with easy self-indulgence abdi cates or transfers his high place, some day you will find those State apart menta vacant, and 'To Let' inscribed apon their cobwebbed windows, ashes strewing their cod hearth-ston«s, or worse still, filled with strange guestswho have never been invited by the Master, Therefis a beautiful old story of a woman, who knew how to guide her household well and thb heart of whose husband eafely trusted in her, who seeing a weaiy figure constantly pass her door, took pity upon th« lonely man and breaking through h«r native reserve, (the warm impulse of her true heart carrying all cautious fears before it), she asked the unknown way-farer into her home wrh never a question of whence he came or whither he went; there were no little ones in her l.ouse> hold to awaken mother by alarms bs to what they • might catch ' from a stranger. Whenever he came that way ho must come in and rest, and ehure the larger measure of comfort, which had fallen to this kindly couple. Then, instead of resenting his frequent visits, the grudging to get the* shake down ' ready which would have been all very well once in a way, but Was j too much of a good thing every few daye,' she conferred with her good man proposing to do something more for this Solitaire, who waa no ordinary person and fast becoming a friend, and like the liberal, wise man he was, he gave her full leave to do all that was in her generous heart, no doubfe proud that she was one of those who 'saw what there was to be done, knew how to do it and did it.' And so forth with they went to the ridiculous length of putting an addition to their house and furnishing it for thin wanderer without any prospect of his board and lodging being covered ! The sequel to this etory is very touching. The unexpressed desire of thia good couple's heart was fu'fill ed through the influence of this friend they had made, and furthermore when hard times came and home and property were lost and widow and son must go into exile, and af.er long year?, seek with but little hope in their heart— their own again, through whose in fluence, think you, was it all restored? Whose but the Wmuderer'u the Way farei's, and do rot forget the wife's kindly intention must have fallen fruitless to the ground without the co-operation of her husband. A thousand pities that the book that contains thia story is seldom read! A beautiful copy of it can be had for nine penc ■*.

But there is a way whereby you may again be strong and vigorous. Mr. Charles Richardson, of 37 Howick Street, Launceston, Tasmania, sends us ibis photograph and the following letter; «• Once my arms were covered with sores that were worse than boils. They were deep rooted in the flesh and caused great suffering. My blood was in an awful condition. At an other time I had a severe attack of influenza. I could neither eat, sleep, nor work, and 1 never expected to recover. AVER'S Sarsaparilla cared me from both of these Tiolent attacks.
