What u prudent Wife did.

A correspondent of the National Era re.
la,es the following;
"A fact which ! came in possession of a
couple of years ago, may illustrate the char
actcr OF the New EnglandeIs, and reveal the
origin of some branches of their profitable
business. S. w. was the son OF our country
clergymen; and was accustomed TO laboring
on farm IN summer, and keeping school in
winter. He was moral, industrious and frI-
gal, and took wife possessing the same
qualities together with a shrewd propensity
10 calculate the cost of all articles of living.
One day her husband brought home The
cloth and trimmings for a new coat. The
wife inquired the price oil the buttons, which
she noticed were made of cloth lasting or,
more fully, everlasting covered on TO wood
en- button moulds. She thought she could
afford as good Il button, nade by hand, for
less money. The next day, like the true
daughter OF Yankee she tried the thing
out.' she bought The cloth by the yard and
the mouds BY the dozen; and in week she
had better buttons al less price in the mar
ket. The Thing would pay. S. w. soon
lett farming and school keeping, bought the
cloth which his wife cut into button covers
and button moulds, hired the women and
shis vi WINS ~ ""nS 'hsh
up, and sold them at great profits.
Soon after another entered into partner
ship with him and invented machinery TO do
the work. Then tue plain lasting was
changed 10 figured velvet, aud satin and
twist. Improvement on Improvement was
made, TIL they equa!led the best English, or
French or German buttons. s. w. now
owns one of the sweetest villages in the Con
nectcut valley, and almost supplies The I'm
tied States with buttons for coats and over
coats. He has endowed an academy munif
icently: has contributed like a prince to the
funds OF highly distinguished and useful
female seminary, and has rescued a noble
college from embarrassment. So much for
the carefulness of prudent wife, and so
much for disposition 10 earn an honest
living in some way, rather than thrive in
idleness on the hard and too often unrequit-
ed toll of Others

Saved by Integrity.

A plain farmer, Richard Jackson by name.
was apprehended during the Revolutionary
war, under such circumstances as proved be-
yond all doubt, his purpose of joining The
king forces; an intention which he was too
honest 10 deny. Accordingly he was delv.
cred over TO the high sheriff and committed
to the county goal. The prison was in, such
state that he might have found little diff
Gully in escaping but be considered himself
IN the hands of authority such as it was, and
the same consclenriousness- whether mis-
guided or not, we do not say)-whch led
him to take up arms, made him equally
ready to endure the consequences. After
lying there few days, he applied to the
sheriff Tor leave TO 60 out and work by the
day, promising that he would return rcgu-
larry at night. His chalacler for simple n-
iegrliy was so well krown. that permission
was gwen without hesitation, and for eight
months, Jackson went out every day TO labor
and as duly came back TO The prison at night
In The month of May, the sheriff prepared TO
conduct him TO Springfield where he was TO
be tried for high treason. Jackson said this
would be needless trouble and expense he
could save line sheriff both, and 20 Just as
well by himself. His word was once more
taken, and he set off alone, TO present him
sell Tor trial and certain condemnation. On
The way he was overtaken in the woods BY
Mr.. Edwards, a member OF The council of
Massachusetts, which AT that time was tie
supreme executive of the state. This gen
lleman asked him whittier he was going
10 Springfield, sir, was his answer: TO be
trled Tor my life. To this casual interview.
jackson owed his escape Having been
found guilty and condemned to death, appl>
cation was made to the council for mercy-
he evidence and the sentence were stated.
and the president put the question whether
the pardon should be granted The case he
said, was perfectly clear; the act was un-
qneslionahiy high treason, and the proof
complete; and t'mercy was shown in this
case, he saw no reason why il should not be
granted IN every other. Few governments
have understood how just and polite it is to
be mercIful. This hard opinion ac-
corded with the temper of the times, and
was acquiesced in ty one member after an
other till it came Mr.. Edwards turn 10 speak
Instead of delivering his opinion, he simply
related the whole story of Jackson's singular
demeanor and what had passed between
them in the woods. For The honor Of Mas
sachusetts and of human nature, not a man
was found TO weaken the natural effect oil
MIR. Edwards statements on their minds
The council began 10 hesitate. and when a
member ventured TO say that such man GER
| tainly ought not TO go 10 the galows, a nat
ural feeling OF humanity and justice prevail
ed, and pardon was Immediately made out.

rhe Senators from California.

The public were interested yesterday by
new and remarkable event. The Two new
senators from the new State Of California
appeared in the Senate Of the United States,
and look their seats. For the first lime the
representatives from The shores Of the Pacific
unite with those of the Atlantic under the
anuspices oil one common government. The
o"iteu states of America, originally but the
we good old thirteen States. have eytend-
GU 'hei' empire TO the western ocean. md
'ae senators of the thirty-irst State of
.ne Union now take seats alongside az heir
brethren. Tne American eagIe rhrs rinrs
MS way IRON one region to ano,her Eo1r
years ago lie extended his fiight 70 Tsyas
and now, so rapid are his movements and -
vigorous is his wing. that he dins his ,alons
IN the waves of the Pacific. What an sxoI,.
ed destiny lies before u.s.
The two western Senators who have fire,
appeared TO participate in the councils of the
nation are calculated 10 inte.es, the sympa-
thy of the whole people. Never did any man
better deserve his seat than DR.. G win, hy his
equanimity. his patriotic devotion 10 the in
ierests of the whole republic. and the large
views and shgacious spirit which he brings
INTO the public councils. Never can we for
get The calm patience which he has exhibit
ed Tor months past in waiting the develop
ment OF protractcd debate and the final de-
cIsion oi Congress. That decision is now
made, and the new Senator reaps the fruits
oil his generous devotion TO the interests of
the whole republic. We hazard nothing in
predicting that he is destined to occupy
high place in the public councils.
We cannot speak so much in detail of his
young and accomplished colleague. But his
character is marked by so many traits of en-
terprise, saeacity, and energy, that we are
disposed to auSur the best results from his
participation IN the civil concerns of his
country. Ills own genius has raised him to
the distinguished pos; which he occupies-a
sell-balanced character viii maintain him in
it Washington Union.

living Within their Mems.

Is II not remarkable thar China, with a
well defined nationality Of 4 900 years. anda
population for 1900 years denser according
10 iIs area, Than that of France or Britain,
has never had cause TO complain of the mis-
cry or distress other people? Virtually, she
has no Paupers-no poor. Her infrm or
unfortunate have been generally provided
for by the STATE; while her masses have
been, and are, the happies and most inde-
pendent people on earth. The reason of this
lies in the habits of industry and love of
peace of the Chinese. They Till the earth in
every available spot; they drain marshes and
earth over waste places they turn all the
riches of the earth 10 the most practicable
account: and living peacefully and simply,
they have comfort and plenty. No people
on earth live so completely within their own
means. They have never sought the trade
of any country, never have interiered with
any other country: but minding their own
business have grown rich and been wise
when more boastlng nations were STEPPED in
poverty and ignorance. Surely, the nations
and people OF Europe and the Western hem
sphere. have yet TO learn the art of true liv-
ing and well governing, Of the very people TO
whom they are sending missionaries.

The loss to Great Britain by shipwrecks,
appears from carefully prepared statistics 10
amount annually to between 800 and 600
ships, or about three vessels in every two
days. The cause has been attributed, in
great measure 10 instructions of the COM
pass, produced by the attractive powers Of the
iron used in the construction OF the vessels,
as well as the tnnneis, tanks and guns en-
