Eg- Gov. Wright, of Indiana, in
his address at the New York State
Fair says:
At the base Of the prosperity of any
people lies this great principal-make
labor fashionable at home. Educate,
instruct, encourage and offer all the
incentives you can to give Interest and
dignity to labor at home. Enlist the
heart and the intellect of the family in
the support Of a domestic system that
will make labor attractive at the
homestead. By means Of the power
full INFLUENCE Of early home education,
endeavor to invest practical labor with
an interest that will cheer the heart Of
each member Of the family and
thereby you will give to you household
the grace, peace, refinement and
attraction which God designed a home
should possess.
The Press d'Orient states that
Prince Gortschakof had asked of Gen.
Pelissier if, in case of the retreat of
the Russian army, he would take
charge Of the $4,000 sick and wound
ed remaining, The General declared
that be was willing if Prince Gorts-
chakoff would leave his physicians and
other medical attendants. would guar

Hon HEEL SuoEs Since tho Ia
dies will persist in bestowing much Of
their time in working fine figures and
filligree work on their under garments
and wearing them long enough to
sweep the streets tho fashion Of high
heels is commendable. As tho Plea.
yune says:
Silks and fine linens by these elcva-
ted understandings are kept slightly
out Of the mud, and the general effect
is supposed to be advantageous.
There is only one objection, and
that is tho clatter they make upon the
walks. Were heels made Of cork
or india rubber, there could be no OBJ
lection to them. But after all, the
advent Of heels may be to aid the
march Of strong minded women who
would, il they could, unscx themselves
to quarrel with men in the pulpit and
on the stump, about politics and reli-
gion. 1t is high time that they had
commenced shaving their chins, in
some parts Of the Union, in order to
have crop of stubble in defiance of
the laws Of nature, which have said
from the beginning, woman shall be
beardless."

Mr. Bundle had married the widow Of Nv. Cor

ates in this affecting manner. These candidates
have each of them married the Fusion party--tbo
widow Of all the deceased parties to which most
Of them had formerly been attached II win be
recellected that the story goes on to relate how
Mr.. Bundle finds he has "caught Tartsr.n and,
instead Of ruling his wife, is himself reduced to a
state of the most abject serytude. 1t remains 10
be seen whether these disappointed candidates
will rule the Widow Fusion, be themselves igne
mniously snubbcd into the most doleful state Of
hcnpeckery. There they are, however In re-
counting the possessions of the Widow Fusion

Ney could have done H. He had done like
| things repeatedly. But never did this indomiAbIa
firninees this iron resolution, come out 50 con-
epicuoasly as inIitbe fatal retreat from Moscow.
There was in truth, most desperate need of'if.
Napoleon acted with his wonted judgment whom
he made Ney commander Of his rear.guard, though
il quite probable he supposed he was thus sact-
hcing his f.vorise marsha. But whether,any of
the army escaped, depended much on this rear
guard, and he knew this leader would do all that
mortal man could do, for the benefit Of the whole
| And he did perform Utmost more than mortal
deeds, Day after day and night after night with
| freezing, starving, suffering band he kept at bay
ten or fifteen times the number Of well supplied,
well appointed troops burning to revenge then-
| selves on the detested foes who had desecrated
| their natal soil
Ineed not detail the history Of those days and
nights for all reading persons are familiar with H.
Its incidents seem more like fiction than fact and
Tint be should have been able TO break through
and surmount such Obstacles So as finally to ye-
join Napoleon, appears little short OF miracuoris
IL any one conld have saved Napoleon frSm
the fatal disasters Of Waterloo, Ney was that ore.
| But it was not so written
| With this granite firmness Ney combined very
much OF the fiery enthusiasm and extreme excil-
ability of liurat Hehad little, fiat AL. less power
| to set body OF troops on fame than the latter,
and to impel them forward with an mpetncsity
which nothing could withstand
| In this combination he had the advantage of
/ Macdonald. The latter could, like the ioliner,
hold his men fast in the very face Of death, buthe
| could not enkindle in them that enthusiasm which
would make them WOO peril as bride.
Ney's fate il familiarity known. Ii was an inf
nous deed to execute, as criminal, the hero,
whose life had been spent in tho service Of bis
country, under him whom that country had elect
ed as ruler. ID has left an indelible blot on the
