Ammonia. Ammonia, commonly known m spirits of hartshorn, is invaluablo for (iomwtio puriioncs, nnd w almost a household necessity. It is a powerful alkali and dumolvo.H groaso and dirt witli great easr. It is nearly at useful as soap and its cheapness brings it within tho reach of all Greiioo stiota may bo removed from almost any fabric, by sponging them witli ammonia weakened with a little wator. When dish towels have bo como Hoiled and discolored, boiling thorn in water in which some ammonia has been inured, will do map h to rcitoro thorn to their origins! color. When tho busy days of Iiouho cleaning como around ammonia will bo found a gtcat holp. For cleaning paint and woodwork put a teaspoonful into a quart of warm suds, dip 11 80ft cloth in it and go over your woodwork and boo how quickly tho dirt will disappear; wry littlo scriibliing is necessary and no injury will bo done to tho paint nnd lunula Tho samo propor tion of suds mid nmmonia is good for cloaning marblo slabs and iiumtlos. For washing windows, mirrors and glass witro, it has no ciiual. It will cIooiiko and brighten HiW.uwaro beautifully; wash in warm Nuds and ummonii, wipo (Iry and polish with a chamois skin. It is nlso a great stimulant to plantft. For houso plants, fivo or six drops to ovory pint of water, nnd appliod about onco a wook, will cattw them to llouriuli, and givo thom a vigor not to bo obtained in any othor way. A few drops iu tho water in which cut flowont aro to bo placed, will rostoro them if boginning (o wilt. Ammonia has also oxcollont medici nal qualitieH, and ban tho advantage of boing familiar to most porsoHS, cheap and easy to obtain, ifoadacho Bometitncs may be rolievnd by its use. Care must bo taken if it is npplioJ to tho face, for if tho ammonia is very strong it will blister and burn tho skin. For tho sting or bito of insects, apply it, nnd it will lx found to neutntluo the poison. It is said that instantaneous relief from tooth ache may bo obtuinod by saturating a bit of cotton with nmmonia and apply ing it to tho ndected tooth. For toilet purposes nmmonia is equally useful, ttnd no lady who has onco recog nized its merits will want to bo without it. A person who has nn oily, shiny I'timpliixmn owes it to mi unusual uecro tion of fatty matter by tho skin; soap fail to remove it, and it U altogether better to u.-o n littlo nmmoni.i in tliu water whon washing. Tho philosophy of this is, that ammonia being an ullcali, unites with tho minute globules of fat to form xomi, nnd thus tliu faco is cleansed und freed ftom its gre.tsy apjiouranco. it will remove all Nothing is butter If used iu tho hath dis.i"reeubln odors. lor cleansing the liuir nnd removing dundruir. It is equally good for clean ing brushni. So no Loinmkcopur should bo without u bottle of it It should havo a glass or rubber stopper, us it will oat away eork, and allow much of iu htrength to escape. .. ,i. .

Husbands, if you see defects, or things that you wish wero not so, in your wives, try kindness and sto if that won't do them more good than all the unkind words and cross looks you over gave them, "I often think," continued this happy wife, "I have tho best husband in tbo world. Ho is good and kind to me in sickness und in health, in joy and in sor row. Wo aro happier than when wo were married, nearly twenty years ago. Ho never scolds me, uor brings a long cataloguo of complaints against me, but comes in from his daily labor in a good humor, v. ith a smilo on his lips, and says: Now, Susanna, you have dono enough to-day, put up your work.' Then ho seizes littlo Nancy, and we sit down side by side, and chat in the cool even ing breete." What woman in tho" world wculd not make such a husband a good wife 1 1. --
