humiliating themselves by denoun-
cling their own country and cpdeav-
oring to rob her of all hohorable
character by representing her in the
wrong:
This is curious country! Its his
tory would afford ample matter for
moral lectures, sermons and philo-
sophical disquisitions upon human
nature, and the ends of government.
What Il strange fatality hangs over
this unfortunate Republic IT'S
painful to contemplate. To be sure,
a little over half century ago, we
numbered only three millions of En-
glish colonists; now, we are a nigh
ty nation of frecmen, ruling this
great continent from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. IT'S true we have a
boundless commerce, a brave army,
and a gallant navy, innumerable
statesmen Of distinguished ability,
in word, all things that constitute
national greatness and power-yet
what does this avail lis! We are
always wrong-always criminal in
the eyes of Heaven and Earth. We
have gone through seven contests,
fought hard battles, gained glor
victories. We are nevertheless,
wrong, all the time. Wrong in l774,
when opposing the imbec Gle Tyran,
of Great Britain-so said tie Tories
Wrong in 1912, when we proclaim
Gree Trade and Sailors Rights
and logged the British a second
time--so said the Federalists. Wrong
in 1894, when Gen. Jackson threat
ened France for the indemnities
Wrong in the Black Hawk var

IN the Seminole war. And now a
gain wrong in the war with Mexico

when will Americans ever be right
where there is fighting to be done
We do really, sincerely, anxiously
deploringly, distressedly, and most
vehemently hope, wish and crave tc
see our country right once before
we die.

If you are really in earnest for
wife, go into the kitchen, the tailor
shop or anywhere, where industry is
alive, and fresh cheeks, buoyant spir-
its and cheerful hearts are found -
The best wives in creation come
from the workshop and the Kitchen
altar. They are the children of
good mothers, and know their duties
and interests. You would do better
to find one Of these than to be en-
rlched by the possession Of gold
mine. You never find man in
Strengthened circumstances-even
with a dozen children on his hands
who has judicions and indhstri-
Gus companion But let man be
as rich as CrGsus. and be obliged TO
support wife and one or two dry
goods stores and he will come to
want. Had scores, we could name,
been wise in their selectio of wives,
they would now be in a good condi-
ton, and not walk the streets as if
h h! l e the very eo or IF
ye who are searching for companions.
Avoid the dancing hall, and the mid
night carousal, and look into the
kitchen and the shop, and you will
never regret yonr choice.

1t is abundantly shown, in the charge
made by Captain Weightman with
the section of howitzers that they
can be used in any charge of caval-

said, and justly said, of the gallantry
of our artillery, Numbering within

but how much more daring was the

he unlimbered within fifty yards of
