Legal relation of Man and Wife. The ef¬ fects produced by marriage on the legal right® of the parties are important to be known ia every faft.5'v. In law, hesband and wife are considered as one person ; and on this principle, all the* civil duties, rights and disabilities rest. The wife cannot sue in her own name. If she suffers injury, or wrong, in Iter per¬ son or property, she can with her husband4® aid and concurrence prosecute for rcdres* ; but the husband must always be the plaintiff. In criminal cases, however, their relations as- sume a new form *, the wife may in criminiti cases, be arrested and punished. The wile can make no contract with her husband, nor the husband with the wife this disability is involved in the first principle which makes them legally one. But they may contract through the ageircy of trustee*, the wife being under protection of the h*s- band. All contracts made between them before marriage ; are dissolved upon that event. The husband cannot convey lands or real estate to his wife directly, but he may »et*t0 6 ) Sepluagesifivfe. Matlh. 20. Day's length 10 h. 30 m.

If the wife die before the husband, and there be no issue, her heirs succeed to her real estate. But in case of issue, the husband remains in possession of her lands during his life time only—and at the demise they go to the heirs of his wife. All debts due to the wife become after marriage, the property of the husband, who becomes invested with the power to sue out bond, note or any other obligation ; to his own and exclusive use. The powers of dis¬ charge and assignment, and change of secu¬ rities, are involved in the leading principle. If he dies before the recovery of the mon¬ ey, or the change of sureties, the wife be¬ comes entitled to the debts in her own right. All personal property of the wife, such as money, goods moveable, and stocks, becoma absolutely ihe property of the husband upon marriage, and on his death to his'heirs. Property may be secured to the wife, by deeds or,marriage settlement, in order to se¬ cure to the wife a comfortable competence against the vicissitudes of life, or >he extrav¬ agances, vices, or crimes of the husband. Property may be settled on the wife, after marriage, by the husband, provided he be solvent at the time, and not made with a view to.defraud creditors.

These en- terprises, too, were doubtless considered by the pru¬ dent and -wary, as impracticable humbugs ! But without going further to prove that the making of silk is not a m^re speculation—a non-entity—we can show that it is already a thing in esse. The work is begun. The tree is not only planted, but we are already gathering, and enjoying its rich fruits. It must be admitted that silk making has hereto¬ fore been confined almost exclusively to a small portion of New England. In Mansfield and the contiguous towns, silk has been one of the staples —making a ' fair business'Gfor fifty or sixty years, under all vicissitudes in the affairs and condition o! our country, and with the old trees, which re¬ quires six years before it is ready to be used. If then, under all these disadvantages, the New Eng¬ land cultivator could made a living, what may be done with the new tree ? For experience as we are informed beyond question has shown, that then/a- hour of gathering any given weight of leaved from this old Italian or white mulberry tree, is six fold greater than is required to gather the same weight of leaves from the morus multicaulis—the Italian moreover requiring six years growth before it i# ready for defoliation, whereas the morus multicau¬ lis gives a merchantable article in less time from the planting than does the Indian corn. Mr. Oijfifistead, of East Hartford, Connecticut, exhibited specimens at the Convention in Balti¬ more, of sewing silk, raised on his land by Mr. Danfprth tin last season, from trees planted from the* loth to the 20th of May. Some specimens manufactured by himself were from trees planted from the 9th to the 15th of May, the cocoons hav¬ ing been formed and ready lor manulacturmby ibe 22 The Ninth Month, or SiiPTEMBEK—1841, Week days.

Now if this is good advice in money mat¬ ters, it will surely apply to economy m time, to those hours and hull days when the rain drives under cover. Well, how are these hours to be best im¬ proved ? I will tell.my brother farmers: get yourselves a set of carpenter's tools, and make a work-bench, and if you can plane a board and drive, a nail you will find enough to occu¬ py all your spare time. The tools will.cost but five or six dollars— such as are most .necessary, and then you will be able to keep your out buildings, fence, land many of your farming implements, i« 26 The Eleventh Month, or NOVEMBER— 1841, (Ji ft r.ctx |D , I, i MOO/t , Inemarkable days,, days. | J I south, Ktond Aspects of Planets Muon |jttooris r.

In stacking wheat, if four or five quarts of salt besprink¬ led on every hundred sheaves it will be secu¬ red from destruction from the weevil, and will besides make the straw more valuable as fodder. Or if, after the wheat is thrashed, a font of salt is mixed in every barrel, or the grain be put in old salt barrels, the weevil will not attack it. Golden Rule in Agriculture.—A practical husbandman, of the highest authority; assures us ibat the golden rule of agriculinre—t<> n«e such manures as will make heavy land lighter, light land heavier, cold land liotier, and hot land colder— must never be lost sight of.

Tin; way to get Rica*—Attend to your own business, and Jet your neighbor attend to his ; "drive your business, arid *be cautious that your business does not drive you; wherryour work is promised have it accomplished at the appointed time, and accomplished in such a manner that your customer may call on you again. Botts in Horses.—A traveller informs us that the stage drivers on the routes leading from Albany to the western parts of the State of New York, in giving water to their horses on the road mix a little wood ashes with their drink, which they say, effectually preserves thern against bolls. . Ring Worm.—An esteemed friend says, common lamp oil applied to the part affected will cure the ring worm. Nausea.—A tea spoonful ot common ashes stirred in two larger spoonsful of boiling water, a lea spoonful ol it repeated at intervals, checks excessive vomiting and nau¬ sea. Some prefer to stir it in cider. It is often-given in eases of cholera morbus. To Cure Butter.— Butter cured with one half ounce of common salt, one-fourth ounce of saltpetre, and one- fourth ounce of moist sugar, pounded tsgether, and used in the proportion of one ounce to the pound of butter, will on trial, be found to keep any length of time, and have a Much finer flavonr than when salted in the usual manner. Method, of Extinguishing Fire in a Chimney. Place a bucket of water on a stool near the fire, and, with the-hand, keep throwing the water gradually on the fire, but so as not to injure it ; the steam produced there¬ by will in a few minutes completely destroy tne fire, by passing, with the current of air, up the*chimney. To stop Vomiting.—Apply a large onion slit across the grain to the pit of the stomach. I have repeatedly tried il, und never knew it to fail. To Cure the Cramp.—Chafe the part with Hungary water ; or hold a roll of brimstone in your hand. 1 have frequently done tiiis with success. Hooping Co ugh .—Yew milk and ley (from hickory ash¬ es,) of equal quantities, is said to be an infallible remedy for this distressing complaint.

Admirable Hit.-—" My dear madam," said a doctor la his patient, •'I am truly gratified to see you yet in life. At my last visit yesterday, you know, I told you,"you had but six hours to live."' " Y§s, i take the dose you left." doctor; you did ; but 1 didn't If Satan should loose his tail, where should he go to get motile*? Answer : to a gm place, because there they ra¬ ta i ted spirits. Ab tivo celebrated punsters were walking in the street, one of th'em accidentally struck his foot against a small pail ; fiis companion* dryly observed ; 'why, Sam. you have kicked the bucket:'' ' Oh, no,' replied the other, • I have only turned a little pail.'" A Strong Position.—Gentlemen of the Jury : There are four points to this case. In the first place, we contend that we never had the plaintiff's horse ; second, that we paid'him for the use of the horse; third, he agreed to let us use the horse, for his keeping, without any charge; and fourth, that his horse is a Jackass. A preacher who had once been a printer, thus conclu¬ ded a sermon. Youth may be compared to a comma, manhood to a semicolon ; old age to a colon: to which death put a period. A gentleman, whose-son had lately died, was visited by a neighbor, who began to condole with him on his loss. " My"loss?" exclaimed the father ; "no such thing. It's his own loss—he was of age." Much yet remains unsung,' as* will be seen by the fol¬ lowing splendid verse : " All hail, thou glorious moon, Bright, as a new pan ; Thou brightest, roundest, noblCst soufce Ol bread and cheese to inan." The recondite John S. Cuts, who, perhaps, is one of ths greatest naturals of the age, thus accounts for the phe nomenon of fog :—" It is occasioned by the Atmosphere coining in contact with the Hemisphere, which causes tlw earth to sweat 1" Liberal Education.—A fellow who wrote a wretched hand, and made almost as bad a fist at spelling and gram, mer, gave as an excuse for the deficiencies of his educa¬ tion, that •' he hever went to school but one afternooa and then the master wasn't there !"
