A Wife obtained by Proxy.

Many of our western readers are
aware Of the successful labors of Mr..
w. G. VanMeter, in transferring home.
less vagabond children from our city
to the West, where they find good
homes. warm hearts. and suitable oc-
cupation to make them virtuous and
happy, thus turning them from ca
reer OF crime and villainy to one Of
honor and usefulness. So interested
have farmers become by his skill in
supplying them with chore boys and
laborers, that they are willing to en-.
trust him with almost any commission
however delicate and difficult.
On his late visit to Illinois, sub.
stantial farmer OF that State requested
him TO procure for him a wife, the
next time he went to New York. This
farmer is middle aged man, who has
lately lost his wife, and as he says, is
so lonesome, that he cannot sleep
nights. Mr.. v has accordingly, se-
lected one Of the finest young women
at the Five Points. who returns with
him to Illinois next week. when, if
mutually agreeable, she will be mar
ried to the farmer. This seems a
doubtful method of dispcsing OF our
surplus population, but still it evinces
the confidence reposed in the agents
and we hope it may turn out 10 the
advantage of all the parties.
As to transferring laborers 20 the
farming districts from our unoccupied
and begging population, We cannot
speak too highly of it, because it
meets a great want in the rural dis
tricls, and furnishes q still more nec-
essary supply to the poor heart bro
ken laborer. A boy that went from
this office to an interior town OF this
State. has done so well by his employ
ers as to raise the value of such labor
rers in that market, and we doubt not
that others still may find ready employ.
The mother Of this boy, a poor Irish
woman. comes in occasionally to in
quire for her darling" and 70 shed
few tears Of gratitude and affection
that he is doing so well.-N y.

Paul Jones arrived at the Tcxel.

Downs. This fleet consisted Of twen-

cas- was offered for the head of the "a :
nous John Paul Jones. This much
sought after individual determined to
run the gauntlet and escape II posi-
Bile. Having instructed his men. he
availed himself Of the day when the
wind was blowing a gale from the
shore, and weighing anchor, came
down under easy sail towards the
centre Of the British fleet.
He directed his course so as to
come under the lee Of the battle ship
from whence the admirals flag was
flying.
His motions were watched by the
whole feet. who supposed he had
come out to surrender. AT this mo-
ment Jones gave the word. his ship,
the Alliance. became cloud Of can

admiral, delivering full broadside as
he passed.
Onward he flew. delivering and re-
ceiving broadside after broadside, and
escaped without the loss Of mast or
spar. Jones sailed at once for
the Breast. in France, and while In the
channel captured two valuable prizes
bound for London. with which he ar-
rived safely in port.
On the 18th day Of October, l777.
Congress voted him n gold medal in
honor ofhis services. Jones Quilted
America in November, l777, and new
er again visited its shores. He was
afterwards engaged in the Russian
service, being sent to the Black Sea by
the Empress Catherine, as rear-admi
raj. Immediately after his arrival in
st. Petersburg. April %, 1888. he
joined Prince Potempkin, who had
the command Of the Russian force in

the Russian service is q complex his

While in this service he was in many
severe engagements. and showed great
personal courage, though the ,pportu.
nifty never seemed to present itself fol
the exhibition of any remarkable ex-
plot or quality worthy Of his previous
career.
He resided for some time previous
to his death. in Paris. where he died
on the 18th Of July. 1892, at the age
Of forty-fvc years,
A distinguished writer, himself a
sailor. in speaking Of Paul Jones. sums
up his qualities in the following man
ner:
"In battle Paul Jones was brave
in enterprise, hardy and original. ia
victory. mild and generous. in mo-
tives, much disposed to disinierested
ness, thorgh ambitious Of renown, ant
covetous Of distinction. In his pecu
MARY relations, he was liberal; in his
affection. natural and sincere. and il
his temper, just and forbearing."

Effect Of a War with Eagland on
the Various Portions of the United
. States.

We cannot. we confess. join in the
apprehensions Of the Daily News, that
the object Of this quarrel is to enable
the Americans TO sieze, first upon Gu
ba. and then upon the other por-
tions of the West Indies. A sup
position like this seems to us in
tenable. A war between England
and America would be felt more
acutely by the Southern than any 9TH
er portion of the American Union
1t would cut up, root and branch. the
trade Of the Southern States, and, SO
far from perpetuating would be the
most likely event which could arise
10 annihilate slavery there. In form
er misunderstanding with England
the Southern planters have been the
most energetic remonstrants agains,
a war with England, and this feeling
Of q mutual self-interest is AS strong al
the present time: Fillibustering has
certainly received no tcountenancs

waters Of u placid lake. ltleaps from
her heart like clear. sparkling rill,
and the heart that hears It feels us il
bathed in the cool, exhiliaratlng
springs. Have you ever..pursued an
unseen fugitive through trees, led on
by her fairy laugh. now here. now
there, now lost. now found? We
have. And we are pursuing that wan
deiing voice to this day. Sometimes
it comes to us in the midst of care, oI
sorrow, or irksome business; and We
turn away and listen. and it ringing
through the room like silver bell,
with the power to scare away the i'll
spirits of the mind. How much we
owe that sweet laugh 1t turns The
prose of our life into poetry it flings
showers of sunshine over the dark.
s.me wood through which we are trav,
cling; it touches with light even ou,
sleep, which is no more the image o.
death, but is consumed with dream.
that are the blessed shadows of im.
mortality.
