The Right Kind of a Wife.


A New York editor says he had an intro
duction some time since to the heroine of
the following sketch:
Mr. --, merchant, now residing in
Philadelphia, who formerly lived in rather
an extravagant style, was in the habit ev-
cry Monday morning of giving his wife a
certain sum Of money for the table and 9th
er household expenses Of the week; he never
mentioned his business to his wife, and she
deeming him sufficiently capable Of attend
ing to his own affairs, never inquired into
them. About five years after their mar
riage, through some mismanagement, and
the rascality of his confidential clerk, Mr.
-- suddenly broke, and his fall was
mentioned sympathisingly on change, and
like all such matters there all sympathy
ended. The merchant kept the affair a Sc
cret, and the first intimation his lady had of
it was a news paragraph in the Ledger
Shortly after dinner was over, on the dis
covery of the startling fact, Mrs.
requested her husband to remain in the par
lOr few moments as she had something to
say to him. She then left the room, hurried
up stairs; and shortly after returned, with a
SDl6uulUlN
ing it to her husband, she said:-
George, the day after our marriage you
gave me this precious book as a token of
your love, and as rich fountain to look to
in the day Of trouble. Its pages have been
precious to me; and as your brow looks sad
to-day, now return it to you that youmay
CLEAN from it some consolation in the hour
of gloom" She then left the room.
The merchant opened the book carelessly,
and bank bill fell out. He picked it up
and glanced at its FACET was ten dollar
bill. He opened the book again, and an
other note of the same amount was before
him. He opened it at the first page, and
continued to find an X between every two
leaves, till be arrived at the commencement
of the book of Revelation. He was saved,
could commence business, and had the cap
ital of nine thousand dollars.
He rang the bella servant appeared.
Request your mistress to come to me
Immediately" said the merchant.
The lady obeyed, entering the room with
something between a tear and smile.
"Kate! Kate! where did you procure all
this money!"
"This is the weekly saving Of our house
hold expenses for the last five years" was
the modest reply. every week put ten
out of the twenty dollars which you gave
me into our Bible bank, that when day of
trouble came upon us, we should have some
thing to save us from the wolf"
"But why put it in the Bible, Kate?"
Because it is a good bank, one which
will not suddenly break replied the good
lady.
"You are an angel Kate" cried her de-
lighted husband, clasping her to his heart.
And so she is. Does any one doubt it?

Value of Position.

f. country doctor fails to cure disease
Immediately, the delay is set down to his ig-
norance, and The is blamed for being village
blockhead. When a city physician meets
with disorder that fingers along and finally
battles his powers, O, it was because it was
incurabe! He did everything that be
skill of the metropolis could possibly do
from all its vast and novel resources; for is
he not a city Galen? Such is the vague SUI
perstition. The country doctor may be the
more sagacious and deserving Of the two,
but the prestige of the practitioner on the
pavement carries the day in the struggle for
practice and reputation. 1t makes a great
difference too in mans ability in his pro-
tesSlon, whether he rides in his own carriage
to his patients and his business, or goes
trud9lng along on foot, or pays his siXpence
IN the omnibus. The street and house he
llveS IN Is one OF more consequence than the
books he has studied, or his natural mother
wit, which we however prize very much in
doctor, as III companion, friend and adj
wiser.
Posltlon-rank in society, and that too
founded on nothing better than wealth and
Professionalism potent element it is in
giving consequence to mans opinion! A
poor fellow Of sense and cultivation shall
give you his advice or judgment, or make
an observation to circle-it falls fiat or
unheeded. On the contrary, let a man with
a heavy purse open his mouth to vent the
merest commonplace or thread-bare ancient
saw, and its weight seems to be impaired to
his remark. Yes, it is impossible to con-
vince the public that country doctor
knows as much as the metropolitan Hippo
crates.

THE SOCIAL CHARACTER OF INDUSTRY
Industry is essentially social. No man can
improve either himself or his neighbor with
out neighborly help and to better the world
is to set the world to work together. Ev-
cry useful invention has been carried out
and perfected by the cooperation of many
minds, Or by the successive applications of
varied genius to the same object, age after
age. The mechanic must aid the philoso-
pher, or he must stand still in his demon
StrationS; and the philosopher aid the me-
chanic, or he will work without wisdom
The astronomer needs the telescope, and
the chemist his material and apparatus.-
The sciences hang on the arts, and the arts
on the sciences. But without the philoso-
ply from heaven, neither art nor science
would look off the earth, and industry would
die natural death and rise no more: for
religion alone is the living spirit of human
sociality and power.

DSy~ GEORGE n. SANDERS, late United
Consul to London, has addressed letter to
the President of the Swiss Federal Coun-
Gil, which has vastly pleased the European
revolutionists. 1t was first published in
the London Times, and has been made the
subject Of prominent articles in several Of
the leading English Journals. The London
correspondent of the n. Y. Herald writes
Of this document
The republicans, who are now up and
active all over Europe, and more feared than
ever, have received it with enthusiasm, and
have Immediately set to work CON an0re
rendering it into all the principal languages
of Europe. NJ. Pulsky has given fine
German translation; Louis Blanc renders it
into his vivid French; the Italion version is
from the classic pen Of the selfforgetting
republican and elegant scholar Shaft, the
| Roman Triumvir; he Spanish is by CIVIL
ches, one Of our new found republican asso-
ciates in the land to whose faith and lber-
ality we owe the discovery of America,
Mr.. Sanders writes as sovereign citi-
zen of the United States, and tells the off,
eial to whom his communication is address
ed, that the Republic Of Switzerland is, in
America, regarded dear as the emerald
oasis in the frightful desert of absolute pow
er on the continent" and that the name of
William Tell is a sound of music in the ear
Of every American school boy. "Tell, of
the iron heart, is one of the tutelar deities
which every American mother sets before
the lispipg child. He also says that this is
a time when every American abroad feels
with peculiar pride, and a sense of response
bility, that he carries in his own person
wherever he goes, the rights and duties of
the sovereign citizen, He thinks that this
is the time for Switzerland, under the cir
cumstances that lie all around, to take ad-
vantage of for grand and benefcent ac-
ton, and in conclusion says: allow me again
to assure you of the deep fraternal friend
ship which exists in my country for Swift
zerland, and our intense anxiety for her
honorable action,

Some years ago" says the Toledo
Blade, when Tom Corwin and Tom Ewing
were on political pilgrimage to the north
ern part of the State, they were invited to
tarry over night with distinguished local
politician. The guests arrived rather late
and the lady Of the mansion being absent, a
niece undertook to preside on the occasion
She had never seen great men. and supposed
they were elephantine altogether, and all
talked in great language. Mr.. Ewing, will
you take condiments in your tea, sir, In
quired the young lady. Yes, miss, if you
please, replied the quondam salt boiler
Corwin's eye twinkled. Here was fun for
him. Gratifed with the apparent success
of her first trial at talking with big men,
the young lady addressed Mr.. Corwin in the
same manner: viii you take condiments in
your tea, sir?' Pepper and salt, but nc
mustard, was the prompt reply of the face
tious Tom OF course nature must out, and
Ewing and the entertainer roared in spite
of themselves. Corwin essayed to mend
the matter, and was voluble in compliment
anecdote and wit. But the wound was ir.
remediabe The young lady to this day
declares that Tom Corwin is a coarse, vul
gar, disagreeablc man."

A GooD RRBUKR.-A very good lady in
Boston had in her employ young man
from the county. On certain occasions, he
was instructed to inform any company who
might ring at the door that Mrs. - was
not at home.
One day John made his reply to an init
mate friend of the lady, who shortly went
away, leaving card and promise to call
again. AS the card was handed to Mrs.
=, she said: John, what did you say to
the LADY," Il told her you were not at
home" "Well, John, hope you did not
laugh" "Oh no, ma'am," said John, II

DEEPEST WELL IN THE WoRLD.-For six
years past, Messrs. Belcher & Brother, of
St. Louis, have been boring an artesian
well on their premises It is now tace1atu-
t,co hundred feet in depth, being deeper by
one hundred feet than one in France, The
work is still being prosecuted by means of
a steam engine, water of satisfactory points
not having yet been reached. At the dis
tance of seven hundred feet, a vein of salt
water was struck, and at 500 feet, an i'm
mense vein of sulphur water, in all respects
like that of the Blue Lick Springs in Ken
tucky, burst forth.

says the Siskiyou county jail is without a

evidence of the morals of community, two

side of ours would render this county per-

Where are They?

Where are They?
The friends of my youth, 0, where are they
OF my youthful smilfs and tears?
Like wandering comets they've passed away,
Borne down bp the crush of years.

Who gamboled and played with me,
Where the great Oaks bathed IN clouds of spaay
Look down on the deep blue sea?
| went to the churchyard's sculptured stones,
And sought them among the dead
Beneath these stones, lie their mouldering bones
NY heart in its anguish said.
Yes, here they lie, but where is she
Who bloomed at my side so fair
Who played on the green in youth with me,
When our hearts were free from care!
| recolect well her smiles and tears,
Though many year has flown
Since last we met when the forest leaves
Der the frozen ground were strown.
She sleeps in the quiet church-yard now,
Where the weeping willows" wave
And the smiles which played on her youthful brow
Now linger around her grave.

E57HDr. Wozencraft thus addresses the
readers of the Alta:
The central route, as you are aware, is
the one first propagated by myself in 1851,
passing through the Sierra Nevada, Wa
katch and Rocky Mountains, in or about
latitude Al, embracing Humboldt Valley
and Salt Lake City, without a DETECTION,
and continuing on down the southern banks
Of the Platte, with but slight detection
south to st. Louis. We now have full con-
firmation from the Engineer who has lately
passed over this route. of all which has here
tofore been claimed for railroad, and con-
frming the fact of the existence Of a good
natural wagon or stage road the entire dis
tance, which will not exceed 1900 miles
from st. Louis to San Francisco, over as
good dirt road as can be found in any
portion of the United States; a road on
which they can make as good time as on
any national road. We will suppose, how
ever, that they will make but six miles an
hour. That will give us the mails FROM
ST. Louis in II days and II hours.
Allowing 2119days from New York to
ST Louis, by railroad, We have the great
commercial metropolis mail in 10 days.
Now, when we consider that ten miles an
hour is frequently made by stages, and that
too over comparatively bad roads withal,
we surely shall be within the bounds of
probability and practicability, when we say
that we can have the New York mails with
in fifteen days.
We thus gain about one week on the
Ocean route; and by running a daily line
we will gain one more week, which is
now (even under the recent arrangements
by which we have weekly steamers lost in
the back matter, or that which occurs and
accumulates within the week. Thus, YOU
perceive, we have gained two weeks in get
ting the daily news. But. sir, when this
road shall be put in good working order
stations at every fifteen miles, and stocked
with good running stock, light matter can
be expressed at the rate of fifteen miles per
hour; thus giving US all the telegraphic news
accumulated at st. Louis in FIVE days.
X
deem the establishment of this inter-
oceanic route Of great importance, probably
not second to that of the railroad, indeed,
this will be the required pioneer to the great
road; and when we shall come to view it in
all its bearings more particularly in con-
nection with the extent of territory through
which it will pass, and the population which
it will give and embrace, we can only look
on it as an act of necessity, necessity now
existing and daily increasing
