WIVES SAVE YOUR HUSBANDS.


The following, from the Merchants Ledger,
should be read by every woman in the coun-
try, married or unmarried-yes, it should be
committed to memory and repeated three
times a day, for it contains more truth than
many volumes that have been written on the
subject
elbow often we hear men say, am going
to California, Australia or somewhere else
You ask him the reason Of his going away,
aud the answer is, in nine cases out of ten, |
am not happy at home. have been unfor-
tunate in business, and have made up my
mind to try my luck in California. The world
seems to 60 against me. While fortune fa-
yored me, there were those whom | thought
to be my friends, but when the scale turned
they also turned the cold shoulder against me.
My wife, she that should have been the first
to have stood by me, was first TO point the
finger of scorn and say, it is your own fault,
why has not this one or that one been so un-
Fortunate Ifyou had attended to your bus
mess as they have, you would not be where
you are now. These and other like insinua-
tions, often drive man to find other society,
other pleasures, in consequence Of being UNI
happy at home. He may have Children that
he loves he cannot enjoy life with them as
he would he may love them dearly as ever !;
yet home is made unpleasant in consequence
of that cold indifference of the wife. Now
would say to all such wives, sisters, and in
fact, all females, deal gently with him that is
in trouble remember that he is very easily
excited. A little word carelessly thrown out
may inhict a wound time never can heal
Then be cautious, man is but human--there-
fore he is liable to err Ifyou see him going
wrong, ever meet him with smile, and with
the kiss of affection; show that you love him
by repeated acts of kindness letyour friend

happy hours in pleasant conversation. BY
so doing yon may save yourself and children
from an unhappy future. M
When a man is in trouble it is but little
word that may ruin him, it but a little word
that may save him.

THE uEMETERY.

NJ. Eator - am glad that there seems to be
disposition on the part of our citizens to secure
for our town q respectable Public Cemetery. By
whom the move is made ! do not know, neither do
believe II is known Ivy one-third of the persons
interested On this score have no objection what.
ever to the project on foot But from my inter
course with the people since the plan became pub
lic and from all have learned on the subject l
am convinced that the place selected is not fit
and proper one, and does not suit the wishes of
the citizens in general. have not heard single
individual express himself satisfied with the pro-
posed situation. do not think the place proposed
will suit at all, and my objections, among others,
are the following:
1. TIE character Of he ground--Nearly the whole
8 not already occupied is a bed Of solid rock
The two buryiug grounds included are already
full or nearly 90. These must be enlarged, and
from their position would necessarily throw all
others coming in upon the rocky surface portion
of the enclosure. To say that all the rock would
be required, and taken out to the depth of FIVE or
idle
2. rs dimensions--The survey includes about
six acres, all told. Deduct the area of She two
burying grounds already occupied, and we have
at most between four and five acres of ground
This is by far too little Our town is increasing
in population very rapidly, and in few years
win number four or Eve thousand inhabitants.-
For town of this size public Cemetery should
contain at least ten acres of ground.
3. It's pcsaios-A Cemetery ought to be more
remote from town
Other objections might be urged but for the
present we think the above sufficient to show that
the place selected is altogether unsuitable and un-
desirable. wish the project to procure public
Cemetery to succeed, but from the shape things
have taken fear 1t viii fail as heretofore Why
not have Company chartered, and let them Sc
cure a lot of suitable size, say ten acres eligiJiy
situated; AMI m,eneam6ered. 1.-THE field owned by
Mr.. Showers, beyond The Rail Road, coald be
procured, tand we believe it could) it would be
far more desirable in every respect 1t is slate
grouud-large enough-most beautifully situated
easy of access-and could be handsomely laid
out and ornamepted. 1t is hoped the citizens will
feel sufficient interest in this matter and at once
adopt such measures as are necessary in the prem

FREESOIL DEMOCRACY.

The miserable trick of the "Union' and
its co-workers to draw off the attention of the
public from the Frcesoil appointments of the
Administration, by charging similar coalitions
upon their opponents, cannot deceive any In
telligent and well informed mind at this day,
however it may have misled heretofore. The
thing has been too thoroughly exposed
What astonishes us most, however, is the fact
that Southern Democratic journals and par
tisans can have the cool hardihood to coal
esce with the Freesoilers while affecting such
deep-rooted hostility to them and their prin-
clples. And this coalition, too, is in opposi-
ton 10 the true and tried friends of the South
men who stood firmly By the South, her
rights and interests, at the hour when she
and the Union most needed her support and
succor. II is such men as these that South
ern Democratic organs and partisans, in their
zeal to support the Administration and their
eager rush for the spoils, would crush and
trample down to sustain and uphold Free
sellers. Dickinson and his associates, the
faithful allies of the South, men who sacrlfi-
ced themselves at home, fell fighting in the
front ranks of the defenders of the eonstitu-
tional rights of the South, are denounced and
Frustrated to elevate the Van Burens and
their Freesoil comrades These are truths
known to every well-nformed mind. Let
people pause and ponder upon them ere they
enlist under the banner of the Administration
