"reminiscences of Jefferson.

MIR. Jefterson's great height and slender
figure exposed him to much rcdicule from
his opponents. His soubrlquet with them
was Long Tom :" and when his famous
project for the substitution of gunboats in
place OF the navy was adopted by Con
gress, and the attempt was made to put il
into practice, the cannon, disproportionably
large, with which each of the ill-construc.
ted craft was burdencd, obtained, in con-
tempt, the name of a "Long Tom" Moth
ing could present more singular contrast
than the figures Of Mr.. Jefferson and Gen
eral knox-the one very short, as thick as
he was long; the other lank and lean, and
unusually tall. They happened to meet one
morning on the steps of General Washing
tons lodgings in Philadelphia. The two
gentlemen approached contrariwise, and ar
rlvlng at the same moment, a contest in
etiquette took place. Tho general at the
head of the army, and full of its clivalrous
politeness, could not think of passing in be-
fore the co-equal head of. the Department of
State; while the civil officer of government
was equally averse to take precedence of the
military, and they stood for some moments,
each drawing back and waving the other
forward. In the midst of this somewhat
entertaining scene came up, directly in
front, the notorious Judge Peters, tho great
est wit of his day. Pcrcciveng how mat
tiers stood, and casting sly glance from
one to the other, he pushed boldly between
them, exclaiming as he passed, "Pardoni me,
gentlemen, if in my haste l dash through
thick and M;n."

cannot endure to be rcprovcd or criticised
by him when others can hear it. Indeed,
1t IS most wrong in a husband thus to put
his wife to shame and we cannot help Sc
cretly .admiring the spirit of that French
woman who when her husband had SO
wronged her, refused ever again to utter a
word, and for twenty years lived in the
house dumb woman. We admire her
spirit though not her mode of manifcstinr
it. Husbands owe most profound respect
to their wives, for their wives are the mo-
Tiers OF their children. No man has the
slightest claim to the character of a gentle
man, who is not more scrupulously polite
to his wife than any other woman. We
refer here to the essentials Of politcness, not
| to its forms; we mean kindness and Justice
in little things
A wife likes her husband to be consider
ate. Unexpected kindness and unsolicited
favors touch her heart. She appreciates
the softened tread when she is sick she
enjoys the gift brought from distance, and
everything which proves to her that her
husband thinks of her comfort and her
good.
Husband, reflect upon these things.
Your wife has confidcd her happiness to
you. You can make her life proudly hap
py, if you are kind and wise. You can
make it unspeakably wretched, if you are
ignoble and short-si GIFTED. Let the con-
test between husbands and wives he this i:
Which shall do the most for the happiness
Of the other.

A JUST VERD1cr.-The Quincy Qllihois)
Herald says that the grand jury refused to
find bill against John Pigg, lad about
fourteen years of age, for shooting and kill
ing man named Pile. The circumstances
are, that Pile had quarrelled with his wife,
and threatened to beat her-she escaped to
the house Of the boys mother, was followed
by Pile, who made demonstrations to whip
her, when Mrs. Pigg interfered, saying that
no woman should be whipped by man in
her house. Pile then struck the mother Of
the boy several times in the face, when the
lad seized shot gun and shot him down,
from the effects of which Bile died the next
day. The neighbors persuaded the boy to
60 to Quincy and surrender himself, which
he did, and the case being investigated, the
jury refused to indict him.
