Husbands Tea

"Well. | neyerl Mrs. Morris; why.
how poor the tea has got all at oncel
Why, sure enough, it is as bad as
husbands tea, now" This speech
was made by blunt. rough, rosy
faced matron, who was presiding at
her tea-table. and entertaining a
friend who was a gentle, loving, and
loyeable young woman, that had not
long worn gold circlet, and been
called "Mrs. Norris "Thank you,
Mrs. Chubb; my tea is very good f:
and they say strong tea is not good
for the nerves. but continued Mrs.
Morris, "what can be the meaning OF
husbands tea?" have often heard
the expression, and wondered what it
could mean; do tell me-.
why. as to the saying" replied
Mrs. Chubb, i am sure | don't know
how it came among us; but l reckon
that some wife, who liked her own
dear self better than anybody else,
used to drink all the strong tea, and
leave water in the teapot ior her good
man."
Dear me, Mrs Chubbs, do you
think there ever could be wife so un-
kind? Why. when my George is later
than usual, if pour out one cup for
myself, | add half water, fearing it
would not be good enough for him
Why, to be sure, think every wife
would give the best of everything TO
her husband i"
20, dearl Mrs. Morrisl excuse my
laughing; but, bless you. when you
have been called Mrs. Morris twenty
years. you will perhaps think differ
emily. Why, know a wife who has
downright good tea long before her
husband comes home; aud | have seen
him, with my own eyes, eating cold
potatoes and salt-poor soull-after-
wards; and between you and me and
the post. | have called him in just as
Chubb has been at bis supper, as an
excuse to give the poor man a Bit
This is queer worll-a-day world of
ours, Mrs. Morris; there is deal OF
selishness in it, though some people
do cry up human beings as naturally
good-klnd Of halfway angels; but !
have never seen the good, perfect
souls yet, when their Is ne religion in
them TO teach them what goodness IT,.
self was when II lived over among
the Jews; and guess we are, most
of us, little matter slow to learn OF
him'
"Well, l should expect that every
kind. loving wife would do all in her
power to make her husband comiorta-
BILE, and give him the best tea instead
the worst"
Eyes, yes, you are right, too, de-
pend upon il, Mrs. Morris. Go on
acting thus. and keepa happy, loving
home for your husband, and he will,
the more likely keep good roof over
your head, and not go from home to
find kindness and comfort. | always

Mn. EDIroR:-Having little leis.
ure time / thought l should like to
have little talk with you, on the sub
ject OF temperance; and if you consid-
er my communication worthy of a
place in your paper, though it to your
numerous readers. In many parts of
the State, l understand the Liquor
Law, works admirably well that the
liquor shops are being "dried up" and
their proprietors turning their atten-
ton to some honorable calling and,
thought likely you would like to know
how il is in this vicinity. ButfrSt of all
it will perhaps benecessary to tell you
how the cause Of temperance stands
in this community; and what the friends
of temperance here have TO contend
with. There are in this Township
about 800 voters. One Baptist
church of something over 100 mem
bcrs--a Methodist church, of perhaps
some 80 members.
Now, Mr.. Editor, strange as it may
seem, the friends of temperance in
this vicinity will not number over &c.
teen or twenty souls ! Yes, out OF
the above $50 who have made a Chris
tan profession before the worldwide
have put on Christ by Baptism, who
profess TO love God and his cause SUI
premely. who pray TO God to "Lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us
from every evil, and the sins that doth
so easily beSet us, and from all things
that hath the appearance of evil."-
Out of that number, | say, there are
about 10 who think that there is at
least some appearance Of evil in the
use and traffic of intoxicating liquors
" hilc the residue of those who pro-
fess to be the followers Of the meek
and lowly Jesus, say that the Liquor
Law now in force in this state, Is
the most. abomInable law, that is
inlorced over any people. Ii deprives
them of their liberties They say IL
is no longera free country but land
of bondage. Some of the old vete-
rams of the cross, who have stood as
Gland marks" in the church for many
years, whose heads are whitened over
with the frost, of many winters, who
are tottering near the brink Of eIemi-
~. who stand as il were, with one foot
ON the land, and the other in the grave,
could not unite in celebrating the last
anniversary of the American Indepen-
dence, because, their liberties were
taken from them. they were in land
of bondage. On ! what sad picture
and how lhmentable the case, when
those VINO have long stood as senti-
nels in the church of Christ, want the
liberty, If not OF getting drunk them
selves of seeing their fellow creatures
debasd beneath the swine, and wal
lowing in the gutter. o what Il glo-
rous privilege; and what spectacle

The Kansas Legislature and the
President.

ltmust be remembered. that the
Kansas Legislature petitioned to the
President, to remove Gov. Reeder,
on the ground. that he was engaged
in land speculations, and that such
speculations were inconsistent with
the dignity and position Of a man, who
filed the first Office Of the Territory.
The President, however, had the start
Of the very humble petitioners from
over the border, Reeder having been
already decapitated, politically, before
that document reached its destination.
But the Legislature forgot, that the
rule applied in one case, would be
equally applicable in another, where
Its operation would not be quite SO
agreeable.
Judge Elmore was equally interest
ed with Gov. Reeder in the land spec-
ulations; and if we are not mistaken,
these two gentlemen were partners.-
In common decency, the Judge could
not be allowed to remain, if the Cover
nor was removed; and the intelligence
that the Government would dispense
with the services of the Judge, reach
ed the new Territory soon after the
telegraph had announced, that new
executive had been appointed, to at
tempt 10 rule over the very unrulable
destinies of the Kansas Missourians.-
What was sauce for the goose must be
sauce for the gander. But the Kan
sls Legislators have made up their
minds, that Judge Elmore shall not
exchange his Judicial title for that OF
plain Mister. He is good fellow and
a great favorile, and what is more and
better, he is frst-rate pro-slavery
man, and will on occasion be n first
rate pro-slrvery Judge. Therefore, To
remove him ould be unconstitutional
very, and they, the Kansas Legis-
islature, have too much regard ior
these abstract and organic principles ol
justice and equality, which are sup
posed to be especially embodied in
constitutions, to submit to the outrage
Of any .uoh instrument. Itwas quite
constitutional for the President to re-
move Governor OF his own appoint
meut; but to remove a Judge who de-
rived his place from the same source
was quite out of the questionl-CO-

Strange Activity of an Insane wO

man.
There is u woman in Whitney, who
for the past ten years has been in
sane. II is not fully known what the
cause was that led to this very pecul-
lar state of her mind. About eigh
teen years ago she lost her husband,
but since that time she has performed
the duties OF her household with as
much care as is common-cooks,
washes and does all the household
work without assistance or guidance.
But unlike most women she spends no
useless time, indoors engaged on the
nicer kinds of lrce-work, or even at
the toilet. She has work TO do, and
all her energies are given to it. As
soon as the dishes are washed and fur
niture set in order. she lights her pipe
and starts for the field.
About six rods from her house are
two small hills, which she is ut work
in leyeling They are about twelve
feet high, and on the the top contain
nearly quarter of an acre. During
the past ten years all her leisure mo-
ments have been thus occupied. Ear
y in the morning, with her hoe and
crowbar, which are the only tools
she uses-she starts for these hill.tops.
aud there works I'LL night. She car
ries the small stones 10 the foot Of the
hill. rolls the large ones. and hoes the
dirt down. In this way she has low.
cred one hill more than six feet, and
the other four add half.
The work she has performed Is said
to be more than any one man IN this
town could have done in the same
time and with the same tools. The
stones alone she has carried TO the
foot of the hill, would now require
the labor Of five men and four oxen
two months TO remove. Notwith-
standing this immense and continu-
Gus labor, she enjoys at this time the
very best of health. When in the
house about her work, she is perfect.
ly rational. never destroys any thing,
and is guilty ofno cunning tricks, such
as crazy people generally are. She
uses her sons wood TO beat up large
rocks which she cannot remove with
out breaking, then pours water upon
them, shellIng them into small pieces
to enable her to carry them into the
valley.-Bdagor lie. AereSrH June

Cost of War.

The expense of the Eastern War
begins to command attention in Eng
land. It's, indeed, beginning TO grow
alarming:-and the speech Of Earl
Grey, in the House OF Lords. which
will be found in another column, ex-
presses apprehensions which cannot
fail ere long to become general
throughout England. The cos. of the
war this year, in the three departments
of the army. navy and ordinance. ex-
ceeds $e30.000, 900, and this is TO be
still further and very largely increased
by votes of credit, guarantee Of the
Turkish loan and other expedients
All this involves a corresponding in
crease of taxation, NOT for a year OF
two. but permanently.-as these ex-
penses go to swell the enormous ag-
gregate of the National debt, the an.
nual interest of which is becoming q
most oppressive burden on the indus.
try Of the British people.
Earl Grey foresees the embarrass-
ments and evils to which this state
Of things must in time give rise. lie
declares, with frank boldness not of
ten witnessed, that no man in his SEN
ses believes that the Turkish Empire
for the integrity Of which this war is
waged, can last for years:-predict'
that England will be compelled to pay
the interest on the loan which she
guarantees, and that changes may oc'
cur which win release France from al
obligation to pay her share;-and thai
the whole burden of this extravaganl
and ill.judged expenditure will thu:
fall upon the English people. The in.
evitable result, in his opinion, will bC
such an increase of taxation us will
prove exceedingly oppressive to the
English people, aud increase the lid
of emigration which is already bear
ing so many thousands of them, with
large aggregates of wealth, across the
Atlantic to the United States.

manded little attention in the House
of Lords, but the day will come when
they will be remembered and needed

Mn. EDIroR;-You request TO know
how the Temperance Law works with
us. The task is pleasant one. but
how to condense it, SO as to give the
matter a fair representation. and con-
vey to your readers a just idea of its
efficiency in promoting good order, in
dustry and general good feeling; ]
am confident, is more than | shall be
able to do. | am persuaded, were |
to occupy a large space in your col
umns, and select and point out partic-
ular sections and cases, compare them
rs the matter stands now. with what il
was before the Law went into opera
tion; yet should any of your readers,
who, in by-gone days that were famil-
lar with orr condition, for awhile re.
main among us now, would be con-
strained to say "behold, the half was
not told me +" Why sir, its bene6.
cial tendencies are so palpable, tha,
every man must sec it, and is compell-
ed to acknowledge il. In fact the
friends of the Law themselves, are sur
prsed, from the fact Of our close prox
unity to the Ohio State line. in seeing
the Law accomplishing every thing
that could be desired.
In proof of the above. "let facts be
submitted to q candid world" When
and while the traffic was legalized,
the graad jury in this county always
at its regular sitting, found true bills
of Indictment. for violations of law
and order tolerably numerous for oul
population; the average number o.
which | have no means at this mo.
ment of stating precisely, but am ol
opinion that they averaged from thir-
ty TO two hundred; which have been
one of the chief causes of heavy tax
alton; and now since the l2th OF June
two grand juries. learn have arisen,
'cithout finding a single bW Of indiet
mcat.
Temperance men have for long
time insisted, that a large per cent. O
all the crime, violation of law, and III
! igation in our Courts, had its source
and origin concealed from the public
gaze in whisky barrels and decanters
and many of us have gone so far as tC
say that the proportion was seventy
FIVE per cent. and for that, have been
denounced as fanatics; and sir the
plain facts in the case as demonstra.
ted in this county, irresistably force
upon us the conclusion, that such an
estimate was too small.
And now sir, in view of all this
and a thousand times more, is it pos
sible than any party, be that party
ever so much devoted ID rum, will
dare in any way or under any pre-
tense whatever, to destroy that Law
and yet survive the just Indignation o
an outraged community. We shall
see. l am glad that there is such an
energy in "squatter sovereignty"
Ii the Law is murdered, as is an.
ticipated, at its next sitting by the Su
preme Court, let us demand an extrs
session Of the Legislature. and make
a new Law with the objectionable fea.
ture omitted. If then it conflicts with
the constitution, let us go to work, and
make the constitution right, for we car
not do well without a Prohibitory Law
Ii the people want it, they can and
will have it. NAVILLUS.
