TUE BLESSING The following il the
postscript OF letter written by a devoted
wife to her husband who was far from those
he loved. For beauty and chasteness Of
sentiment, we think it cannot be surpassed:
MAY the blessing Of God await thee, and
the sun OF glory shine around thy bed: and
may the gate Of plenty, honor and happiness
ever be open to thee may TO sorrow dis
nights: may the pillow OF peace kiss thy
cheek, and the pleasures Of Imagination at
tend thy dreams and when length Of years
makes thee tired of earthly joys, and the
curtain Of death gently closes around thy
last sleep of human existence, may angels of
God attend thy bed, and take care that the
expiring lamp of life shall not receive one
rude blast to hasten on its extinction"

DisGRAcEFBL-The "Woman's Rights
Convention" which was recently held in
Cleveland, was quite as stormy as any OF its
predecessors, and ended in rather more of a
ROW" The major part Of the leaders were
avowed inddels. OF atheists and however,
much the convention might agree on the
abstract question Of woman's rights, they
were by no means agreed in the matter Of
blaSphemy. Rev. Antoinette Brown and
Abb. Kelly were at loggerheads Oh this point
and Garrison aud lir. Nevins got to
nose-pulling. If we mut have these cap
pulling exhibitions, by women, some steps
should be taken to keep the he feminines
out of their conventions or compel them to
appear in petticoats and bonnets.

Gen. Dix the New York Express saws

Gen. Dix, the New York Express says,
has been persona lily almost as badly treated
as Judge Bronson, by the President.
He was promised the mission to France,
ard on the promise his family made prepar-
ations to 90 there. He took the Sub Treas
ury to obige the President, and the Execu-
tive hoped to keep him buried IN this Gus
tom-house dungeon. The Richmond En-
q;rirer denounced him to get rid Of him.
and to put Mr. Mason in the place which
the Administration promised to Mr. Dix
Having succeeded in this. the Enquirer has
now come out fat footed FIR the Administra-
ton. We are told in a letter from Wash
ington, that not long ago there came a letter
rrom Gov. Marcy, requesting Of Gen. Dix
some fresh committal and pledge on certain
points of political faith but regarding this,
undoubtedly, as piece of presumption on
the part Of the Secretary Of State, Gen.
Dix treated the demand in silence He was
then sent fur by the President-he wrote to
the President that having 50 000. 600 Of the
public money in bis keeping, he could not
leave home, however great the pleasure which
a visit to the President might afford him. and
added that 10 one knew better than the Pre-
sident how reluctantly he accepted his present
Office and how desirous he was to be released
from it. The end we have seen ID Mr.
Cisco appointment and il Mr. Diz's release,
greatly to his JOY.
