NUMBER "a.
Husbands and Lovers.

There is so much good sense in the fol-
lowing article which we find in an exchange
that we cannot omit copying it for the es-
pecial benefit of our lady readers - .
A husband is as easily cSught as mea-
sells or mackerel. To make him stay
caught however is rs difficult as to keep
your hold of an eel, with slippery fingers.
Hearts, like secrets, are much easier gain
ed than kept, for which reason it requires
more attention and solicitude, from the
wife to the husband, than from the mis-
tress to the adoring love r. The lover be-
ing but seldom with you, sees you only in
part 1t is natural to suppose, you would
neither appear before him in slatternly
dress, or a peevish aspect. Your clothes
will always be put on with neatness and
your face dressed in smiles. On the con-
trary, the husband being always IN your
company, has an opportunity of discover
ing every little defect in your person, man
ners, Or disposition, to see you not only in
full dress, but when your hair is yet in
"papers," and perhaps when you yourself
are laboring under an attack of the tooth
ache. For this reason, the chief study Of
a wife should be to guard against every
thing that can possibly derange his mind
or >quanimity-for whatever brings on
clouds or sulkiness, is sure to estrapge the
affections of the very best of husbands.
Above all things, permit no person to
speak disrespecttul of him in your pres
ence; and guard your heart from the
least approach of jealously.

The Indian Summer.

There is a time, just ere the frost
Prepares to pave old Winters way,
When autumn in reverie lost,
The mellow daytime dreams away;
) When summer comes, in musing mind,
To gaze once more on hill and dell,
To mark how many sheaves they bind,
And see if allis ripened we'll
with balmy breath she whispers low,
The dying flowers look up and give
Their sweetest incense ere they go,
For her who made their beauties live.
AT last old Autumn, rising, takes
Again his sceptre and his throne,
With boist'rous hand, the trees he shakes
Intent on gathering all his own;
Sweet Summer, signing, flies the plain,
And waiting Winter, gaunt and grim,
Sees miser Autumn hoard his grain,
And smiles TO think its all for him.

For the Literary Echo
The Winds of Autumn.

Oh, the mournful winds of Autumn, they are
signing round me here,
And chanting summers requiem, in accents
wild and drear;
They are rushing through the faded woods with
melancholy sound,
Tossing the sere and withered leaves in showers
upon the ground.
Why is it that their moaning voice, such sadness
doth impart'
Why do they hush the bounding hopes that
swell my joyous heart'
Why do their solemn accent check my merry
laugh, and why
Have their sad tones such mystic power to raise
the bursting sigh'
Is it for sorrow that the bright and genial sum-
mer's fed'
That Flora's frail and lovely flowers are blight
ed now and dcad'
That the green and lively vcrdure, by the biting
frost is chilled?
o, no! tits not such grief as this with which my
heart is filled.
But the mournful winds of Autumn, they are
signing drearily
Der the graves of some who but few short
weeks ago, like me
Were living on this cheerful earth, in health
and joyousness,
With hopes as ardent as mine own, and hearts
as full of bliss,
But they are sleeping lowly now, their bound
ing hopes are stilled,
Their voices hushcd, their beating hearts by
deaths cold hand are chilled,
And no trace of them is left on earth, except the
graveyard stone,
And their mc.nry which is cherished in few
true hearts alone.
Thus, forgotten by the many, thought Of only
by the few,
Sleep the young, the loved, the beautiful, whose
hearts were warm and true;
To the shores of blest eternity, their spirits now
have fed,
And the Autumn winds sigh mournfully, above
their narrow bed. GENEVA.

the rude, unsatisfactory answers he sent to
my application for money!
Or course not. But every man cannot
at all times control his feelings. An hon
est mind often feels quick sense'of indig-
nation when a demand is made for debt
where present inability exists. This is no
doubt the case with Horner. Honest in
his inten ons, he felt your repeated appli-
cations as questioning that honesty and he
could not bear the imputation with becom-
ing patience
The two men separated. Gilbert had
thought twice, and instead of going to the
mag gstrate's office, returned to his store.
There, little to his surprise, he found the
tailor waiting for him. They met with
some reserve and embarrassment But
Horner said, in moment or two, and in a
subdued voice
Il am sorry Mr.. Gilbert to have kept
you out of your money so long nothing
has prevented my paying you but inability
L have had sickness and trouble, or it would
not now be with me as it is. I felt worri-
ed, when your clerk called to-day, and
sent you an improper message. Let me
recall that. And now, l will tell you the
best | can do. fyou will take from me
five dollars a month until the whole bill is
settled, will faithfully pay you that much !;
and more if possible
Perfectly satisfactory replied Gilbert,
in voice so cordial that it sent the blood
bounding through the veins of the unhappy
tailor. If you had only made this pro-
position before, it would have been cheer
fully accepted
When the two men separated, each felt
wiser, and each felt happier. The tailor
kept his engagement, and the grocer not
only received his money, but retained a
good customer. So much for sober second
thoughts.

VENTGLLATING Doors AND SHoEs.-A
patent has recently been secured by G..
Marsden, of London, for making boots and
shoes with the soles ventilated. There
are two hollow channels formed in the un-
der side of the inner soles, running
nearly from heel to toe holes are bored
in the solcs and small tubes run up through
the vamp, and for boots up the leg. The
walking makes the boots and shoes act like
bellows good for warm weather. Some
of our Yankee shoemakers will, no doubt,
improve on this in some way. The idea
is good one Missouri Statesman.

Bss- A friend tells us the following,
which we consider a good 'un."
Being in mechanics shop the other
day, an urchin came in, his dress covered
with mud. His father observing his dirty
plight, said to him:
/" William, my son, how came you to
muddy your dress so ?"
The boy stopped moment, then look
ing his father in the eye, very seberly ask ,
ed
" Father, what am I made of ~
" Dust. The Bible says, Dust thou

ORIGIN OF Lithogra-
ply, like many other important discoveries
owed its birth to mere chance. We will
give brief account of the circumstances
under which Alois Senefelder turned his
attention to the discovery of that useful
art of which he was the author. "I
had just succeeded in polishing a stone
plate, intending to cover with etching
ground, in order to continue my exertions
in writing backwards, when my mother en-
tering the room, required me to write a
washing bill. 1t so happened that there
was not morsel cf writing paper or ink
at hand, nor had we any one to send for
these materials; [ therefore resolved to
write with my ink, prepared with wax,
soap and lampblack, upon the stone 1 had
just polished, as the matter would admit of
no delay. Some time after, requiring the
stone for use, and the writing being as l
had let it, it occurred to me whether l
could not bite in the stone with acid"
This Senefelder succeeded in doing, and
thus the art was discovered.

A THIRSTY SouL.-A very good Wild
ow lady, who was looked up to by the con-
gregation at the meeting to which she be-
longed, as an example OF piety contrived
to bring her conscience to terms for one
little indulgence. She loved porter, and
one day just as she was receiving half-a-
dozen bottles from the man who usually
brought her the comforting beverage, she
perceived co horror two of the grave
elders of the church approaching the door.
She hurried the man out the back way, and
put the bottles under the bed.
The weather was hot, and while convers-
ing with the sage friends, pop went one
of the bottles.
"Dear me-" exclaimed the good lady,
'' there goes that BEDFORD /; it snapped
yesterday just the same way; 1 must have
4 new rope provided"
In few moments, pop went another,
ollowed by a peculiar Kissing of the escap-
ng liquor. The rope wouldn't do again,
out the good lady was not at loss.
Dear me-" said she, that black cat
If mine must be at some mischief there.
Hist cat
Another bottle popped off, and the por-
er came stealing out from under the val
,nce.
"Dear me-" said she, "I had forget
hat it was them bottles of yeast"

of the undersigned, respectfully rspresents that

and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect desire tn reside on the
land thus granted; that il patented to them. the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an ANIMAL
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid il permitted to sell the warrant.
Your meuiorelists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assum ss
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent TO act for themselves,
whereas many Of them nre among the most intel
lgent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be 30 modified AZ to make the warrants for
bounty lands assigneble, and they will ever
