The Wife's ElOquence.

A woman has her husbands fortune in her
power, because she may, or. she may not,
as she pleases, conform to his circumstances.
This is her first duty, and it ought to be her
pride. No passion for luxury or display
ought for moment to tempt her to deviate
in the least degree from this line of conduct
She will find her responsibility IN 1t. ANY
other course is wretchedness itself, and IN
evitably leads to ruin. Nothing can be more
miserable than the struggle to keep up aP-
pearances. If it could succeed it would cost
more than it is worth; as it never can, It's
failure involves the deepest notification
Some of the sublimest exhibitions of human
virtue have been precifitated suddenly from
wealth and splendor to absolute want.
Then mans fortunes are, in manner,
in the hands of his wife, Inasmuch as his own
power of exerion depends on her. tiis
moral strength is inconceivabiy increased by
her sympathy, ner counsel, her aid. She
can aid him immensely by relieving INN OF
every care which she is capable of taking
upon herself His own employmeRts are
usually such as to require his whole time
Snd his whole mind. A good wife will never
fsuffer her husbands attention TO be distract
ed bv details to which her whole time ant
talents are adequate If she be prompted b,
true affection and good sense, she will per
ceive when his spirits are borne down ant
overwhelmed. She, of all human beings
can best minister TO his needs For the sicl
soul, her nursing is quite as sovereign as
is for corporeal Ills Il it be weary, IN he
assiduity it finds repose and refreshment:
every enterprise be dead, and hope itself al
most extinguished, her patience and fortIud
have the power to rekindle them in the heart
and he again goes forth to encounter the toll
and troubles of life.

ScoLpING CHILDREN Il will tell you what
good it does to scold at your children for do
ing what you told them not to do; just as
much good as to scold an unruly OK for jump
inc over the fence and eating green corn
contrary to orders previously gwen hl,'.
Children are governed by two motives 'he
hope of reward, and the lear o, unpleasant
consequences. A stream oil scoio,ne as long
as from sun TO sun, never yer hao any o!her
effect upon children than to render them
wholly regardless of what is said to them. II
YOU wish to make your children troublesome,
scold them occasionally. If you wish TO
make them bad, scold them harder, louder,
and more frequently. If you wish to ruin
them, and relinquish all hopes of conquerine
them, scold continually; you will be sure to
gain your object.

Disagreeable Diet.

While was at Moscow, (says travel
Ter, a quorto volume was published in favor
of the liberties of the people; singular
subject, when we consider the place where the
book was printed. In this work, the iniqui-
tous venality of the public functionaries, and
even :he conduct of the sovereign, was scru-
tinized and censured with great freedom
Such a book, and in such country, attract
ed generaLnotce, and the offender was taken
into custody After being tried in sum-
mary way, his production was pronounced to
be libel, and he was condemned to eat his
own words. The singularity Of such SEN
sence induced me to see it put into execu-
tion. A scaffold was erected in one OF the
most public streets of the city; the imperial.
provost, the magistrates, the physicians and
Surgeons of the czar attended. The book
was separated from its binding, the margin
Ecut off, and every leaf rolled up like lottery
vticket. when taken out of the wheel. The
author was served with them by tie provost,
who put them into his mouth, to the no small
Idiversion of the spectators, and he was
.oblced to swallow this unpalatable food OH
span of the knout, in Russia more feared
Ethan DEATH AS soon as the medical gentle
kmen were of the opinion that he had received
Einto his stomach much at time as was
Vcossistent with its safety, the transgressor
was sent back to prison, and the business re-
sumed the two following days; after three
hearty but unpleasant meals, am convinced,
Eby ocular demonstration, that every leaf Of
he book was actually swallowed.

When he rose curiosity was excited, and
pne might have heard a pin drop in that
crowded house. 1t required, indeed, intense
attention to catch the strange and long deep
Fetched whisper in which he began; and l
could see the incipient smile curling on Mr..
Pitts lips, at the brevity and antithesis Of
pis sentences, his grotesque gesticulations,
peculiar and almost foreign accent, and arch
articulation and countenance. As he pro-
ceseeded, however, the sneers of his opponents
were soltened into courtesy and attention,
and at length settled in delight and admira-
ton. Mr. Pitt beat time to the artificial but
harmonious cadence of his periods. and Mr..
Canning countenance kindled at the bright

Life PreSeryer!

The Buffalo Gazette says that an incident
occurred on board the steamboat MayHower,
while lying at the deck, which caused con-
siderable merrment among the passengers
A genteeliy dressed individual having paid
his fare and presented his ticket to the stew
ard, received the key to his state room
Searching out its whereabouts, he found It
decorated with three fife-preservers. inflated
and ready for use, as are all the rooms IN
this steamer, and not knowing their utility,
supposed them horse collars. Indignant at
such treatment, he returned to the steward
and accosted him
"Look here, that room you gave me is
occupied"
"Well,rI know il is; another gentleman
has had the upper berth assigned to him.
"Well, captain, do you think I'm going
to sleep in horse stable? The room Is
hung full of horse collars and harness"
This was too much for the bystanders,
who saw the gentleman's mistake, and alter
hearty laugh over the ignorance OF the IN
dividual, the horse collars were exhibited to
him and their use fully explained, and he
walked away, satisfied that he was badly

Gleason s. Sons; Mr.. T. j. Shelton made

Boston, by Mr.. Donald Mckay, and is the
embodiment of his idea of clipper perfection.
So perfectly true are her proportions, that,
Notwithstanding her vast size, there are
many freigh:ing ships of half her register,
that loom larger to the eye. AT four hum
dred yards distance, she does not appear to
be larger than or 500 tons. She has been
inspected by nautical men from all parts of
the country, and we believe, has been the
object of unqualified admiration. There are
doubtless many ships more tastefully orna-
mented with carving, gliding and other ex-
crescences, but for beauty of model, strength
of construction and completion of equipment
aIoft, she has no superior. 1t is but rea-
sonabIe to presume that. with fair chance,
she will make the quickest voyages ever
performed under canvass. We consider her
not only an honor to her enterprslng builder,
but to the country at large. Americans on
distant seas may refer to her with national
pride. and challenge comparison from the
commercial navies Of the world. She Is
well named-the Sovereign Of The Seas.

Telegraph between England and America.
The London correspondent OF the Nation
al Intelligencer gives the following descriP-
ton of the new project for submarine tele-
graph between Great Britain and America.
The writer considers this new plan by far
the most feasible yet proposed:
We stated, few weeks ago, project
had been formed for constructing subma-
rine telegraph between Great Britain and the
United States by route not before thought of,
which would very materially shorten the line
of water transit, render the transmission of
intelligence much less liable to interruption,
and most materially diminish the cost of
construction and repairs. We have now
the map of the proposed submarine lines
before U.s. Thev commence at the most
northwardly point Of Scotland, run thence to
the Orkney Islands, and thence, by short
water lines, to the Shetland and Ferroe
Islands From the latter water line of 300
tie 300 miles conducts the telegraph to Ice
land. another submarine line conveys 1t to
Kioge Bay, on the eastern coast Of Green
land: il then crosses Greenland to Julana'a a
Hope. on the western coast of that continent,
in latitude 60 deg. AZ min.; and IS conducted
then, by a water line of about 5OO miles,
across Davis's Straits to Byron's Bay on
the coast of Labrador From this point the
line is to be extended to Quebec"
The entire length of the line is appyoxl-
mately estimated at $500 miles, and The
submarine portion Of it at from 400 to
600 miles The peculiar advantages OF the
line being divided into several submarine
portions is, that if a fracture should at any
lime occur, the defective part could be very
readily discovered and repaired promptly
and at comparatively trifling expense
From the Shetland Islands it is proposed to
carry a branch to Bergen, in Norway, con-
Meeting it there with line to Christiana,
Stockholm, Gottenburg and CoPenhageni
from Stockholm line may easily cross the
Gulf Of Bothnia to st. Petersburg. The
whole expense of this great international
work is estimated considerably below LOU,
900; but to cover contingencies, it is pro-
posed to raise that sum by 25,OOO shares o.
ESQ each, We confess that we consider
this plan as by far the most feasible one
which has yet been produced for con ecting
Europe and America by the electric tele'
graph.
