Tbe Month OF the srIs.I.sipp,.

De BOWS Review for the present
month reiterates the appeals often
urged upon Congress Cor grants to
carry out enlarged improvements al
the mouth OF the Mississippi. Three
plans have been presented and dis.
cussed at different periods for the &C.
complishment OF the object. One is
to deepen BY dredging machines two
of the principal passes, at an esti.
mated cost, OF $370,000, with sub.
sequent annual expenditure of S72r
600. Another, TO close all but one
of the passes where they leave the
river trunk; estimated cost $527,-
900. The third, to cut ship canal
from a point below Fort Jackson to
the gull, costing, including all con.
tingencies, $l0,000,000. Consider.
ing the immense commerce of this
great inland sea, any of these
amounts is insignificant in compari.

The house will be kept in a turmoil
if there be no tolerance of each others
errors; no leniiy shown to failings; no
meek submission TO injuries: no soft an
swer to turn away wrath. If you lay a
stick of wood upon the andirons, and
apply fire to it, it will go out; put on an
other stick, and they will burn; add hall
dozen, and YOU will have a grand con-
fagration, There are other fires SUBJ
ject 10 the same conditions. If one
member of family gets into passion,
and is let alone, he will cool down, and
possibly be ashamed and repent; but

will enrap them all in its lurid splendor.

MARRIAGE.-A practice prevails
in the publication Of marriages TO an
nounce that Miss A. marries Mr.. B.
1t may be a species of gallantry to
name the lady first, but it is entirely
out Of place. She does not marry
the man--the man marries her. The
woman only consents that he may
take her; and, in consequence of this
willingness on her part 10 take upon
herself all the cares Of welded life,
the husband is required TO cherish
and protect her. The wife agrees to
love, honor, and obey, which are on
ly promises contingent on the good
conduct OF the husband, The Scrip
ture mentions that "he took unto
himself a wife:" but we hear nothing
about her taking unto herself a hus-
band. When Jacob set out on his
travels in search OF a wife, he found
Rachel at the we'll drawing water for
the family. He stood on no ceremo-
nv. He did not wait for the usual
salu!ation of the day, or a formal in~
PRODUCTION, but forthwith kissed her
sand lifted up his eyes and wept."--
The Joy that overwhelmed him, in
finding such pretty domestic girl
in the wilderness. gushed forth in q
torrent of tears. All the while Ra-
cheI was passive. She made no ad-
vances. She did not kiss Jacob, nor
did she coyly resent the liberty he
had taken. Here we have the mega
tive conSent--the submission Of the
female, and the successful and deciS
ded advances of the gentleman; for
Jacob was a gentleman Of fortune
and distinction. We should not
therefore say in our journals that the
lady marrisd the gentleman. She
puts no ring on his finger to bind the
obligation. She does not present
her husband with gold watch and
chain, diamond breastpin, or a pair
Of white kids.--Nodh.

lin Iceland, writes from Reykjpvik,
the capital Of the island, lha, it IS a
neat town Of 1000 Inhabitants, with
a cathedral and college. There is
also hotel and club house. Several
oil the merchants live in two story
houses. The main street runs paral-
lei to the water, the sloping grarelly
beach, and on the side Of this street,
facing the sea, are the stores, some
fifteen in number. Besides this
there are three other streets running
parallel TO il further back. The
houses, with gable ends to the streets,
are all wooden framed buildings,
generally OF one story, and covered
with coating Of tar in place Of
paint. This preserves the wood and
makes sides and roof water tight,
and though they are all black as
night, thev do not contrast badly
with their white window sashes and
curtains, and the green, fields about.
In CLOSED dwellings, muslin curtains,
flower pots, containing roses.
Iuchsias, geraniums, pansies, and
other exotics all in bloom, showed
the triumphs over climate that
little care will makes The hotel is a
square two>stoty building. t,-
