The TRUE WIFE.-She is no true
wife who sustains not her husband in
the day of calamity, who is not, when
the worlds great frown makes the heart
chill with anguish, his guardian angel,
growing brighter and more beautiful as
misfortunes crowd along the path
Then is the time for trial Of her gentle
ness, then is the time for testing whether
the sweetness of her temper beams only
with transient light, or like the steady
glory Of the morning star, shines as
brightly under the clouds. Has she
then smiles just as charming? Does
she say, 'Affiiction cannot touch our
purity; and should not quench our
love?' Does she try by happy little in
ventions TO lift from his sensitive spirit
the burden of thought?
There are wives-nay, there are
beings who, when dark hours come, fall
70 repining and upbraiding-thus ad-
ding to outside anxiety the narrowing
scenes of domestic strife-as if all the
blame in the world would make one hair
white or black, or change the decree
gone forth. Such know not that our
darkness is heavens light; our trials
are but steps in a golden ladder, by
which, if we rightly ascend, we may at
last gain that eternal light, and bathe
forever in its fullness and beauty.
as that ALP and the gentle face Of
the wife beamed with 10Y. Her hus-
band had been on the verge of destruc-
tion--all his earthly possessions were
gone, and he feared the result of her
knowledge, she had been so tenderly
cared for all her life! But, says r.
ving's beautiful story, "a friend advised
him to give no sleep to his eyes nor
slumber to his eyelids until he had I'M
folded TO her all his hapless case.'
And that was her answer, with the
smile of an angels that alZP feared
by your sadness i was worse. Let
these beautiful things be taken--all this
splendor let it go; l care not for i'll
only care for my husbands love and
confidence. You shall forget in my
affection that you were ever in prosperi-
ty-only still love me, and will aid
you to bear these little reverses with
cheerfulness.
Still love her! her a man must rever-
ence, and liken her to the very angels,
for such woman is living revelation
of Heaven.

NAPOLEON AT WINDsoR.-In June,
1874, there landed suddenly on the
shores of England a man of noble
presence, whom nature, as well as
lineage, had marked out for a monarch.
From one end of the island to the other,
men came to- gaze on him, and queen
and subject, peer and peasant, We'd with
each other to do him honor. Regi-
ments were gathered in at great ex-
pense from distant quarters to give
strength and splendor, and pomp and
circumstance to the display of her mill
tary power, which England paraded be-
fore him. This man was Nicholas the

hatred of liberty as in these latter days

MICKEY FREE TO WALK THE PLANK.--
The noted pedestrian, Mickey Free, is
in Rochester, and is matched with an
Oneida Indian, Isaac Logan, the Tall
Chief, to walk plank for $500. The
man who falls on or of the plank, sits
down or goes to sleep first, loses the
purse. The match is to take place at
Minerva Hall, and commences to-day at
4 P. NJ. At Syracuse, Mickey and the
tall Indian walked 81 hours without ap-
parent fatigue, when the Police inter-
fered and put an end to the match.

Indian Visitors.

A citizen of Santa Fe. Mr.. James
Concklin, arrived in st. Louis few days
ago from the Plains, with a company of
twelve Indians of the Pueblo tribe
Their principal object, we learn, is to
visit Washington city, where they hope
to procure the aid of the government to
enable them to establish schools. and take
other measures which may tend TO the
ultimate civilization of the tribe they
represent. But, unfortunately. the .ex-
Ipenses of the journey from Santa Fe t0
St Louis have been 50 heavy as to absorb
all the means they possessed, and they
are forced to abandon the design OF pro-
|ceeding to Washington, being now con-
tent if they can be able to return to their ei
homes at an early period.

moral Courage.


A rare virtue, and great as it is rare.
We remember when we thought thecour-
age of the field everything. The charge
the word OF. f.command-high7sounding
and clear amid the battles fury-the
clash of arms-the roar of artillery
the thrill of the bugle's note. as with
more than magic sound, it bids the sol
dier dare all for vietory-the banner OF
your country is front-planted there to
stand amid victory or defeat; oh how
young hearts beat TO be actors in such a
scene, calling it glorious, and holding it
noble for brave spirits to mingfe in. and
fighting nobly, to lie down and die.
But what is the courage of the battle
field compared with the moral courage of
everyday lifel Stand alone; see friends
seowl; hear distrust speak its foul sus-
picion; watch enemies taking advantage
of the occasion, laboring. to destroy I;
who would not rather encounter the shock
of hundred battle fields, and lead a
forlorn hope in each, than bear and brave
these things? Why, the one is as the
summer breeze on the ocean to winters
stormiest blast. Any common spirit
may summon courage to play the soldier
well use quickly fits him for it. But it
reqRiresa manto speak out his thoughts
as he thinks them-:o do-when like
that stormy blast in winter on old ocean,
peace, honor, security and life are threat
ened to be swept away. Yet who, look
ing back on the page Of history, or for
ward to the hope of the future, would
hesitate which of the two to choose I?
The martyrs-what are they? Chroni-
cled names in all hearts. The patriots
who died for liberty, ignominiously and
on the scaffold-how fares it with them ?
Cherished as earth's honored sons. The
good, who spoke the truth and suffered
for its sake-where are they ? The best
and brightest-frst in our thought and
love. And yet, what did they? Like
men they spoke the truth that was in
them. This was their courage, If they
had been silent, if, trembling before ty-
rants or mobs, they had feared TO tell
what they knew, to speak what they felt,
they would have lived and died like 9TH
er men. But they had the moral cour-
age to do all this, and. though they per-
ished, man was blessed through their
suffering, and truth lighted up with new
glory and power. sa @a lsa- =
Give US moral courage before every
thing else 1t is the only bravery on
which humanity may count for any real
blessing. Give US moral courage first
and last I For while it nerves a man for
duty, it roots out of his heart hate and
revenge, and all bad passion, making
him wise amid danger, calm amid excite
ment, Just amid lawlessness, and pure
amid corruption. 1t is the crowning
beauty of manhood.- C.alA. Clay.

Last week we noticed the fire at Lafayette
and the Burning to death of Mr. Rose. The
Lafayette American of last Thursday says.
On reaching the building it was impossible
to enter it to any distance, owing to the dense
smoke that pervaded every room. There
was great excitement among those whe frst
reached tho spot, arising from the well
known fact that John: Rose had room, and
was in the habit Of sleeping in the warehouse,
though it was not certain he was in there at
that time.
The sad truth however, was soon ascer-
tanned. Mr.. Rose tcas in the burning building.
At this announcement many daring feats
were performed on the part OF those congre.
gated, in order TO save him if q pos, ible
thing. But all efforts were Ruthless, and as
the aames burst out, his body was discovered
on the floor where it was consumed as the
FIRE progressed. Mr.. Rose has beea resi-
den. OF this city for years, and was univer-
sally considered an honorable, upright man.
His death is a severe blow to his family and
friends. and much sympathy is felt ios them
in their sad bereavement.
The Courier says:
We are deeply panied to record the death
OF MIR. John Rose; one OF the Oldest and
most exemplary citizens, who persisted in
the frames cf the warehouse Of Rose g. Son.
MIR. hose was widower, and slept in a room
in the south least corner Of the warehouse,
over the Office, and was no doubt suffocated
bythe smoke and flames while endeavoring
to escape, AS his body was discovered lying
upon one Of the timbers on the lower floor,
some fifteen feet from the cast door, but SO
intense was the heat from large amount OF
lard in the cellar, that it was impossible 10
rescue ii. Rumors were prevalent that
several other persons lost their lives, but we
could not ascertain that they we're well found
ed-we hope they were groundless.

Prof. Morgan will give an entertain

benefit of the Dorcas Association. BY ref
erence to his Programme, it will be seen
that he offers a fine bill, and one that can
not fail TO prove highly entertaining. He
will have the assistance of Prof. Warren
the Wizard, and his troupe of perform
ers, who are said to give excellent exhibit
tons. He will also be assisted by the
German Dramatic Corps. who canAoe but
please. The German Band will also lend
their services during the evening. AS the
proceeds ofthis entertainment are to be de-
voted to CHARITY, through the medism
of the Dorcas Association, we trust there
will be large attendance. We hope our
German people will be largely represent
ed on this occasion, as their poor are as
much interested as others, and but few
Germans patronized the charity Concerts
last week with their presence. Prof. Nor
gan is spoken of as an excellent Elocution-
list and Shaksperean reader, and he is also
proving himself a public spirited man.
