"PreciouS, some commentators tell Us, the

every scheme of disorganzing philosophy.
In harmony with this idea, there was deep
significance in some Of the Greek marriage
ceremonies; and among these none professed

lightful office 1t was hers in peculiar
manner to bear aloft the flaming symbol be-

Female EnsIsiencc and ENERGY.

I have noticed, says Washington Irving.
that married man falling into misfortune is
more apt to retrieve his situation in the world
than a single one, chiefly because his spirits
are soitened and relieved by domestic en-
dearments, and selt-respect, kept alive b.
finding that, although all abroad be darkness
and humiliation, yet there is still little
world ot love at home, of which he is mon
arch; whereas u single man is apt to run to
waste and sclt-neglect: 10 fall to ruin like
deserted mansion. for want Of inhabitants.
[ have often had occasion to mark the furti
tude with which women sustain the most
overwhelming reyerses Of fortune Those
disasters which break down the spirit of man
and PROSTATE him in the dust seem TO call
forth all the energies OF the softer sex. and
give such intre!idity and elevation to their
character, that at times it approaches to sub
lniity. Nothing can be more touching than
TO behold a soft and tender female who had
been all weakness and dependence. and alive
to every trivial roughneSs, while trcading the
prosperous path of life, suddenly rising in
mental force to be the comforter and suppor-
ter Of her husband under misfortunes. and

thunderbolt cling round it with its caressing
tendrills, and bind up its shattered boughs;
so, too. is it beautifully ordained by prov-
dence that woman, who is the ornament and
dependent of man in his happier hours,
should be his stay and solace when smitten
with dire and sudden calamity winding her

ter reflection Oh the part Of the overwhcim-
ing majority Of Democrats nov holding tie
whole legislative power il both branches Of
Congress. if the State should suffer from
their neglect or refusal to make the dc bsRc-
esse appropriation. There are not wanting
very recent precedents for tie measure.
As everybody knows, when the Canada
troubles Of 1887 agirated our border, Con-
gress voted Mr.. Van Baren ten millions, to
be used at his discretion; and still later,
Congress voted Mr. Polk three millions. to
be used in the same manner to aid in any
negotiation during the Mexican war. The
former SUM Nas r0t employed because there
was no collision; the latter was drawn from
the treasury. II either instance not a single
dollar was lost ur put in jeopardy"
Young America wakes earnest aud en-
thusiastic Oh this money prospect and insists
that Congress ought to give General Pierce
just A. much money IL he wants To wit:
Our own condition authorizes u to give
Nr. Pierce the credit of a. many millions

An Interesting Eseminisence

PdrttcuiafS Of the engagement bct1cecn
the Bon Homn1e Richar1 and The
Scraps, furnished By First Lieutcn-
ant RicharI Dale Of the Bon Hom-
me Rjchard
On the ODD Of September, 177o. being
below I was reused by an unusual noise on
deck. This induced me to go upon deck,
when found the men were swaying up the
royal yards preparatory to making sail for
large feet under oar lee l asked the coast
inc pilot what feet it was. He answered !:
',he Baltic feet, under convoy of the Sc
rapis, of A guns, and the Countess Of Scar
borough, of 20 guns" A general chase
then commenced of the Bon Homme Rich
ard. the Vengeance. the Pallas, and the AL
lance, the latter ship being then in sight
after separation from the squadron of near
ly three weeks. but which ship, as usual,
disregarded the private signals OF the Com
modore At this time our fiact headed to
the northwara, with light breezn, Flambn-
rough Head being about two Leagues distant
At I, P. NJ, it was evident that the Baltic
feet perceived we were in chase from the
signal from the Seraps for the merchant
men to stand ashore At the same time the
Saraps and Countess Of Scarborough tack
ed ship and stood of shore with the inten-
tion of drawing off onr attention from the
convoy. When these ships had separated
from the convoy about two miles, they again
tackled, and stood in shore after the mer-
chantmen. At about 8. being within hail.
the Scraps demanded, "What ship is that"
He answered, II can't hear what YOU saw
Immediately after the Serapis hailed again:
"What ship is that? Answer Immediately,
or | shall be under the necessity of firing
into YOU" At this moment I received Or
ders from Commodore Jones to commence
the action with broad-side, which, indeed,
appeared simultaneous on board both ships.
Our position being to windward Of the Sc
rapis, we passed ahead of her, and the Sc
rapis coming up on our larboard quarter, the
action commenced abreast of each other
The Serapis soon passed ahead of the Bon
Homme Richard; and when he thought he
had gained a distance sufficient to 90 down
athwart the fore-foot to rake rs. found he
had not enough distance, and that the Bon
Homme Richard would be aboard him, put
his helm alec, which brought the two ships
on line, and the Bon Homme Richard
having headway, ran her bows into the stern
of the Scraps.
