A New York Woman.
. New York correspondent Of the Bos-

The New York correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal writes the following:
One of the citizens of New York, a gallant,
whole. hearted and nobIed fellow, who is bet"
ter known in the country than any other mar
who lives 10 New York-whose house has
been the home of all the great men OF the
Iand-and who has the same great gift that
God gave Solomon, Is largeness of heart -
he, to the surprise of everybody, failed. All
persons supposed the house was Immensely
rich and was daily coming money. II was
said that the failure was OccasiOned by the
outside speculation of a partner. All that
this gentleman had, and all he had earned
was at once given up to creditors, and he be-
gan life again as he began it thirty years ago,
with the SAM spirit and energy, with the same
cheerfuiness and the same liberty. His affairs
were, as far as possible, then kept from his
wife. But with the quick, keen eyes OF affec'
too, she saw that more vas involved in the
affairs of her husband than he chose 10 state
TO her. She is a woman that had her birth
and education under the unwe;come sky OF
New England. Bot her mental and moral
training were had under those influences that
have raised up so many men aud women OF
mark and talent in our land. Hoping nothing
from her husband about his matters, this lady
visited her husbands lawyer, and heard from
him the full measure of the evil that had fallen
on his future. Her resolution was at once
taken. She knew that her husband valued
his honor more than all the wealth of the
world, and that he felt that honor seemed to
rest under a cloud. She had at the East a
large and valuable property, which was ex~
clusively her own. She ordered the papers to
be drawn at once, placing all the property in
the hands of her husbands creditors, resolving
to partake with him of all the Consequences of
the loss of property. She then sought out
her husband, told him what she had done,
and with a smiling face babe him look cheer
fully to the glowing future before them.
Noble woman worthy of the best days of
Roman fortitude worthy to be ranked among
those noble women described in the word of
God, whom the children rise up and call
blessed" whose husband stitch among the
elders at the gate of the city," of whom her
husband says, "Many daughter have done
virtuousiy, but thou e~xcellest them all"

WoMAN's DEvoTIoN.-Out of The dark scene
of murder and outrage that attended the mass
sacre Of the English residents at Cawnpore,
there comes one of those incidents which
through all ages have proved the heroism of
women aud Their devotion of those who have
secured their love. When, as the narrative of
an eyewitness which we publish elsewhere
tells the tale, the unfortunate Englishmen
were led ont to death, their wives followed and
eIinging to them asked only that they might
die with them. History has recorded no more
touching scae than must have pregented itself
in the CAwnpore slaughter house. when these
women with their arms around their husbands
claimed the priviI of suffering with them, But
the ferocity Of their captors denied to them SO
much of mercy. The pinioned minister VINO
prayed with and for those who with himself so
soon were shot, hewn aud hacked to pieces is
also q grand feature in the terrible drama.

TEyHIS PISTOL rs INTENDED AS THE
u forerunner of the ordinary pistol and is
designed for young men and boys who wish to
enjoy the exceing sport of firing at target, at
the most tr;fing expense, and without any dan
ger of accident. The cheapest ordinary pistol is
three or four times the price of this besides being
dangerous in the hands of boys. This Pistol is
loaded with the common Fire Cracker, which
forms complete cartridge, and will carry ball
ten or fifteen PAGES with the precision as the
ordinary pistol but not with sufficient force to do
any serious damage. As America is shooting
nation, the Young Americans must and viii learn
the art by which our independence was secured.
Hence this Target Pistol is exactly in time and
must meet with universal sale among our youth
