WHAT Prudent WIFE DID. A cores

WHAT PRUDENT WIFE DID. A cores
pendent of the National Era relates the following
| a fact which | came in possession of couple
years ago, may illustrate the character of the New
Englanders, and reveal the origin of some branches
OF their profitable business. s. W. was the son of a
country clergyman, and was accustomed TO laboring
on farm in summer, and keeping school in winter.
lie was moral, industrious and frugal, and took a
wife possessing the same qualities, together with
shrewd propensity to calculate the cost of all arti-
Giles OF living. One day her husband brought home
the cloth and trimmings for new coat The wife
inquired the price Of the buttons which she noticed
were made of cloth 'lasting,' or more fully, sever
lasting, covered on wooden button moulds. She
thought she could afford as good button, made by
hand for less money. The next day like the true
daughter Of Yankee, she tried the thing ont -
She bought the cloth by the yard, and the nouds by
the dozen-andin week she had better buttons at
a less price, in the market. The thing would nav.
D W. soon left farming and school-keeping bought
Inc cloh which his wife cut into butOn-coyers nd
Dutton-moulds, hired the women and girls of the
neIghboring towns to make them up, and sold them
at great profits.
Soon another entered into partnership with him,
and invented machinery to do the work. Then the
PLAIN lasting was changed TO figured velvet and sat-
IN, and TWIST. improvement on improvement in
machinery was made till they equaled the best Eng
iIsh, French or German buttons S. w. now owns
one ofthe sweetest villages in the Connecticut val
lay, and almost supplies the United Sites with but
tons for coats and overcoats. He has endowed an
academy munifcenty-has contributed like prince
to the funds of highly distinguished and useful fe-
male seminary, and has rescued noble college from
embarrassment. So much for the carefulness of a
prudent wife, and SO much for disposition to earn
an honest living in some way, rather than thrive in
ldeness on the hard loo often unrequited toll of

Boston Journal says destructive FIRE broke cut in the
extensive planning establishment Of Col Murdock situ-
ated on Washington street., Charlestown at Il O'Clock
Tuesday night The flames spread with great rapid
L, and, notwithstanding the Charsstown reaeu were
promptly at work. their efforts seemed to avail bat lit
lie, owing to the scarcity of water in aEresng the pro-
gress Of the FIRE. The establishment comprised two
large brick buildngs. and one large wooden building,
besides other smaller tenemens. The whole property,
together with many valuable tools, the hooks and pa
pers Of Col. Murdock, and a large amount Of stock
was entirely consumed.
The whole loss is estimated at from s25 goo to $50
Co., Of which about $4,000 or more, falls lpou
Col. Murdoch. who has but $4,000 insurance. Some
$50 or 200 feet Of the walk the prison walls was

EVERYTHING SHOULD BE DONE SYsrE-
MATIcALLY. 1t is astonishing how much time
and labor are thrown away by some farmers solely
for want of system. They go to work Just as il
happens, in wrong time, perhaps, and in great
haste, half do the work, or leave it unfinished and
then suffer the consequences. There is another
thing very repehensible, and that is leaving every
thing where 1t was last used, and when it is wanted
Tor use again, some time must be spent in finding it.

by leaving them all the time exposed to the weather

= The barbarous Austrian General Haynau who
was mobbed in England, has been to Paris, and gone
back TO Germany. He had quilted his uniform for
plain Dress but was recognized in the cars before
his arrival at Coonge. The papers of that city say
that all the hack. COACH and omnibus drivers refused
to take him or his baggage to hotel and that the
police had to interfere to protect him and procure
him lodgings. A detachment of troops was station
ed around the hotel all night, to prevent his being
the victim Of mob. Let his fate, says the n Y.
Commercial Advertiser, be warning to the butch
ers Of the human race; he is dsCwned and disgraced
by his Emperor, pelted with mud by the London
mob, insulted by German cab drivers as a Ioaihsome
thing and booted at by the children of the streets
His punishment commences in this world.
We copy the above from the Salem Gazette, and
in reading it. could not but reflect how infinitely
more Infamous than Haynau, are those who passed
and those who uphold and enforce the fugitive Slave
law. If such papers as the Gazette and the Com
mercial Advertiser would take this into considera
ton and give portion oftheir indignation diferen
direction, it would comport more with their charac.
ter citizens of Republic protesting to be free.

member that the committee to award Mr.. Barnum's
prize for song Of salutation to America, reported that
there was one besides Mr. Taylor which they thought
equal his, but which was not SO well adapted to u-
sic. Aswe have published Mr.. TayIor's We now pub
fish the other, leaving the public Judge between the
two:
Land of the beautiful, land Of the free,
Often my heart had turned longing to thee;
Oen had mountain, lake torrent and stream
Cleaned on my waking thought, crowded my dream !;
Now thou receivest me from the broad sea,
Land fthe beautiful, land Of the free
Fair to the eye, in thy grandeur, thou art;
doubly fair, doubly dear to the heart!
For 10 the exiled, the trodden, the poor,
Through the wide world, thou hast opened thy door
Millions crowd in, and are welcomed by thee
Land of the beautiful, hand of the free
Land Of the Future Here Art shall repair
Kinder thy gale than her own Grecan air
Since her true votarieS ever have found
Lofty desert By America crowned
Where, in her pride, should she dwell but with thee
Sculpture for thee shall immortalize Form;
Painting lumine, and Poetry warm;
Music devote all her fervor divine
To heart service at Liberty's shrine
Till all thy gifts donbly precious shall be,
Land of the beautiful, land of the free!
Hail, then, Republic Of Washington, hail!
Never may star Of the Union wax pale
Hope of the world may each omen ofi
Fade in the light of thy destiny still;
Time brings bat increase and honor to thee
Land of the beautiful, land Of the free
