How TO Treat A WIFE.-First, pt

How TO Treat WIFE.-First, get
a wife i; secondly, be patient. You may
have great trials and perplexities in your
business with the world; but do not
tn ,refore, carry to your home a clouded
or contracted brow. Your wife may
have many trials, which though of less
magnitude, may have been as hard to
bear. A kind, conciiating word, ten
der look, will do wonders in chasing
from her brow all clouds of gloom. You
encounter your difficulties in the open
air, tanned by heavens cool breezes /;
but your wife is often shut in from these
healthful influences, and her health fails,
and her spirit, lose their elasticity. But
oh bear with her; she has trials and
sorrows to which you are stranger, but
which your kindness can deprive of their
anguish. Notice kindly her little atten-
tons and efforts to promote your comfort.
Do not take them all as matter of
course, and pass them by, at the same
time. being. very sure to observe any
omission Of what you may consider duty
to you. Do not treat her with indifer-
en:c, if you would not scar and palsy
her heart, which, watered by kindness,
would, to the latest day Of your exist
ence, throb with sincere and constant
affection. Sometimes yield your wishes
to hers. She has preferences as strongI
as you, and it may be just as trying to
yield her choice as to you. Do you
find it hard to yield sometimes ! Think
you it is not difficult for her to give upI
always' IF you never yield to her
wishes there is danger that she will think
YOU are selfish, aud care only for your
self; and with such feelings she cannot
love as she might. Again, show your
self manly, so that your wife can look
up to you, and feel that you will act
nobly, and that she can con6de in your
judgment.

To the realms of Dream We gaily rove,
In the Silly hours Of night;
Through its oral bowers We love to move,
And gaze on visions bright.
The home of dresms-'tis beautiful world
Where richest Of pearls abound;
Where flowers their gaudy petals unfold,
And scatter perfumes around.
To its star-paved courts, in the halls Of air,
We are bourne by it's merry sports;
From it's jcwelled thrones to the eye so fair,
We may banquet on new delights.
We love to walk in that fancied land,
Where splsndor darzlcs the eye;
And commune in Joy, with les fairy bands,
That are rowing by.
To its magic lakes we Oft repair,
Ger its ripping waters glide;
Refreshed by light and balmy air,
In some splendid car We ride.
We hear the melody rich Of the birds.
Roll by on the perfumed air;
And sweeter than all. the delicate words,
or some spirit bright and fair.
Genius of dream! Thy power yet untold,
Mirrored in glory above,
Continue thy gifts, in splendor unfold
The fruits of thy magical love.
Bright dreams are to us, like spirit voice
Now whispering soft, and low;
They brighten our hopes and echo rejoice
You shall reap what here you SOW"
But oil are not thus; some are dark ant
drear,
They cast no light in our path;
The clouds of sorrow Oft to US appear,
Nor free are we left from seattle.
But away with such thoughts, let happ!
dreams
Breathe into our ears alone,
More welcome than sorrow, such Is tn
beams,
OF the fair starry queen above.

Who was Marshal Newt

THE Richmond Despatch says that story, o.
MARSHAL NEY having been MICHAEL RUDoLPH
has been revived in certain quarters. We had
thought this idea was long since exploded. About
the time it was last agilated, we lived within two
miles of the youngest brother of MICHAEL RUDOLPH,
very intelligent and patriotic old citizen, lat ,ha,
time of Edgcfeld.) We knew of his anxiety upon
this subject. His enquiry into the circumstance was
thorough, and he became perfectly satisfied that there
was not particle of truth in the supposed identity OF
the two men, lie preferred believing that his rela-

TO MISS MARY
Ericsson's Caloric Ship.

500 horse power each, without boilers air-pnmps or
condensers In the application Of the new patent

steamers of the same power. An experimental trip
has been made by Ercssons ship, in which she ac-
compshed fourteen miles to The hour with ebb-tide
and fair wnd,-ten miles against wind and tide
1t is thought by all scientific mechanics that the in
venlion will speedily supersede the of the present
Steam-E Engine If So it is beyond doubt one of the
greatest strides of modern skill. From letter of Mr.
G. B. LAMAR 10 the Savannah Republican we extract
the following welltimed suggestion in regard TO this
extraordinary improvement. e" Congress-" says the
writer "ought TO buy Captain ERIcssoN's patent,
and throw it open to all the American people, that
his principle might be adopted and operated gen.
orally as possible, both for economy and humanitYs
sake"
