Goodness or insensibllty.
Let contradiction be avoided at all times.
Never upbraid your wife with the mean
ness of her relations; invectives against
herself are not half so wounding. Should
suffering of any kind assail your wife, your
tenderness and attention are particularly
called for. look of love, a word Of pity
or sympathy, is sometimes better than me.
dicine.
Never reproach your wife with any per-
sonal or mental defect; for a plain face
Iconceals heart of exquisite sensibility and
merit, and her consciousness of the de-
feet makes her awake TO the slightest at
tentions.
When in the presence Of others, let your
wife's laudable pride be INDUCED, by your
showing that you think her an object of
importance and preference. The most tri-
vial word or act Of attention and love from
you gratifes her feelings; and man never
appears to more advantage than by proving
TO the orld his affection and preference
for his wife.
Never run on in enthusiastic encomiums
on other women in presence of your wife;
she does not love you better for it. Much
to be condemned is married man who is
constantly rambling from home for the pur-
pose of passing away time. Surely if he
wants employment, his house and gardens
will furnish him with it; and if he wishes
for society, he will find it in his wife, chill
dren, and books, the best society in the
world. There are some men who will sit
an entire day with their lips closed. This
is wrong; you should converse freely on
| all occasions.
Be always cheerful, gay and good hu-
mored.
When abroad, do not avoid speaking to
your wife Few women are insensble of
tender treatment They are naturally frank
and ahectionate, and in genera there is no.
thing but austerity Of look, or distance of
behaviour, that can prevent those amiable
qualities from being eVinced on all occasions.
When absent, let your letters to your wife
be warm and affectionate. woman's heart
is peculiarly formed for tenderness and
every expression and endearment the
man she loves is fattering and plea to
her.
A husband, whenever he goes from home,
should always endeavor to bring some little
present to his wife.
In pecuniary matters, be not penurious
or too particular. Your wife has an equal
right with yourself to all your worldly
possessions Besides, really woman has
innumerabla trifing demands of her purse,
many little wants which it is not necessary
for man to be informed of, and which,
even if he went to the trouble of invest-
eating, he would not understand.

FROM the san AuBustlh llexas) hediander, June 10
We have heard, within the last fortnight, various
and conflicting rumors in relation to the time when
the United States troops would move from Fort
Jesup to our western frontier; which we have not
before noticed, from the fact that they were only ru
mors. From the following extract, which we clip
from the Red River Republican, it appears that the
impression is there that they will take up the line of
march some time next month.
cit is likely that the troops will move southwark
some time in July. The second regiment of dra-
goons, which forms an important part of the COM
mand, was endorsed some years ago, but was re-
mounted by the last Congress; and we understand
600 fine horses have been purchased for it, and
part of them have already arrived The force at

they probably belonged to the same party that Ma

drawn up by other aid; but by the strength OF his

mounted the pinnacle, and gained which

respondents For example correspondent Of

the Union on the subject of the Oregon nego-
tiations, with the professed object of contradictng

open rupture in the cabinet. Depend upon it, the
South must be conciliated, and Mr.. Stevenson will
be Secretary of State before fortnight" The
