The light appears like fire, moves
like it and roars like it. yet the
vegetation is not burned. Plants

they do anywhere else. There

The continuance of the dry

How to Tret Wife.
(From jPaclflc Halth Journal.)
First, cet a wife: second, be
patient. You may have great
trials and perplexities in your
business, but do not therefore,
carry to your home a cloudy or
contracted brow. Your wife may
have trials, which, though of less
magnitude, may be hard for her
to bear. A kind word, a tender
look, will do wonders in chasing
from her brow all clouds o
gloom. To this we would add
always keep a bottle of Chamber
lain'sCoughRemedy in the house.
It is the best and is sure to be
needed sooner or later. Your
wife will then know that you
really care for her aud wish to
protect her health. For sale
