How TO Treat A WIS First, get a
wife; secondly, be patient. You may
have great trials and perplexties in your
business with the world but do not
therefore curry to your home clouded
or contracted brow. Your wife may
have many trial., which though Of less
magnitude. may have been a hard TO
bear. A kind conciiatiag word, a ten
der look, will 60 wonders in chasing
from her brow all clouds oi gloom. You
encounter your difficulties in the open
air, famed by heavens cool brcezes /;
but your wife is often shut in from these
healthful influences, and her health
fails, and her spirits lose their elasticity,
But oh! bear with her; she has trials
and sorrow to which you are u stranger
but which your tenderness can deprive
OF all their anguish. Notice kindly her
little attentions and efforts to promote
your comfort. Do not take them al! US
matter Of course, and pass them by,
at the same time being very sure to OBJ
serve any omission Of what you may
consider duty to you. Do not treat her
with Indifference, if you would not scar
and pulsy her heart, which, ~a,ered by
kindness, would, to the latest day Of
your existence, throb with sincere and
constant affection. Sometimes yield
your wishes to hers. She has preieren-
ces as strong az you, and it may be as
trying to yield her choice ne TO you.-
Do you find il hard TO yield sometimes
Think you i, 10 not difficult for her to
give up always7 Ifyou never yield
to her wishes, there is danger that she
will think you are selfish, and care only
Tor yourself; and with such feelings she
cannot love as she might. Again, show
yourself manly, so that your wife can
look up to you. and feel ,ha, you will
act nobly, and that she can con6de in
your judgment.

them into infantry. They still retain
their character in every respect except
that, SO long as the order remains in
Jorce, they are dismounled. Nor is it
contemplated that even this change shall
be permanent. 1t was simply means
for providing for temporary emer-
gency-a measure dictated by absolute
necessity. When that necessity shall
cease, a portion, if not all Of these noble
companies will be remounted. In the

REvoLuriosARY MOVEMENTS IN HAYrl.

most recent, that Of Prince Bobo, had

that it would be signal failure. The
previous insurrectionary movement is

steamers for New Orleans.

The steamship Union, intended for the
New York and New Orleans trade, in which
she vas to take her place on the 10Th inst,
made her trial trip on the I'd. She was built
by W.H. Webb for Messrs. Spoflord &
Tileston, and will be commanded BY Capt,
Budt. Her dimensions are: length on deck
III feet, "a feet beam, 81 feet hold, and
! DIV tons, carpenters measurement. Hel
epgiles, which were built at the Allaire
Worls, are side lever marine engines of fouI
hunded and fifty horse power each, with
cylltders OF sixty inches diameter and seven
ieetIstroke; the average number of revolu-
tions was sixteen and half with seventeen
poundsof steam. She is fitted up in eleggnt
and tasteful style, with every accummoda-
ttion for the comfort of her passengers. Ven.
tilladonl has been carefully regarded. The
cabins are beautifully decorated and furnish
aglu4urieus style, and the siate-rooms
are sufficiently large. Her consort, the
Winfield Scott, has bern built by Messrs.
Westertelt & Macky, for Messrs. Davis,
Brooks X Co., and is now receiving her en-
gines at the Morgan Iron Works. Her di-
mensi@s are: 230 feet long on deck, 35 feet
beam ~ feet hold, and 2,150 tons. carpen-
ters measurement. The after state rooms
are fitted with patent pendulum berth,
which lat sea always remains in horizontal
position, but can, at the option of the oc-
cupierlbe detached from the pendulum and
allowed to move with the ship. The N. Y.
Commfcial Advertiser regards this as the
greatest improvement yet introduced into
any steiner or sailing vessel.

3 TIT FOR N A M

A girl, young and pretty, but above al
gifted with an air OF adorable candor, latel,
presented herself before certain Parisiar
lawyer, 1--WE translate the incident from III,
French for the benefit Of our home made at
torpeys,) and thus addressed him: t W
Monsieur ! came to consult you upon a
70 marry me in spite Of himself. How shall
/ proceedY
The gentleman Of the bar had of course a
sufficiently elastic conscience. He reflected
a moment; then, being sure no third person
overheard him, replied unhesilatingly:
'Mademoiselle, according to our law you
already possess the means Of forcing man
to marry you. You must remain on three
occasions alone with him; then you can
swear before Judge that he is your lover
'And that will suffice, Monsieur

dition.'

well, Monsieur, l will retain YOU as coun
sci in the management of this affair. Good
day. ~
A few days afterwards the young girl re.
turned. She is mysteriously received by the
lawyer, who, scarcely giving her time to seal
herself, questioning her with the most lively
curiosity.

A fortnight afterwards, the young person
more naiUc and candid than ever, knocked
discreetly at the door of her counsel's room
No sooner was she within than she flung her
self hastily into a chair, saving that sht
mounted the stairs too rapidly, and tha
emotion made her breathless. Her counse
endeavored to re-assure, and made her inhalt
