Gardner flag. 1t was true-Banks had won
brayely-the street rang with huzzas-the sky
rockets were everywhere Fearing the tramp OF
frightened horses, and the damp of evening air,
your venerable correspondent betook himself
first to a coat, then comforter, then to cush-
toned carriage, which brought him and the good
news home together. He slept upon BANK S
yictory-he dreamed Of Banks-and when
he awoke he knew it was all right, for the
children came bursting into the room, crying
''Bank ks is elected-23,0OO majority" and the
baby echoed "Bankth," and was kissed for the
same.
"Then, at breakfast, came the triumphant

WHOLESOME REMARKs.-We published, some
days ago, the remarkable history of Mrs Wood
man, the unfortunate victim of willy rOue, who,
when she was alone, in foreign land, succeeded
in efFecting her ruin. The N. Y. Post, in some
comments upon the subject, observes:-
The wretched woman whose criminal weak
ness has given to her name such shameful noto-
riety, has been extricated from the tolls OF her
paramour, and is now on her way to the Only
sanctuary for such as she, this side the grave
her fathers home. May she there find that
peace which comes 10 sucti as have "sorrowed

betraYer.
Another lesson which this woman's fate teach
cs her sex, is of more importance, perhaps, than
the one we have referred to. When n wife takes
any man into her confidence, to the exclusion
of her husband, she is ruined. The moment a
woman lets lover know or do what she is
afraid to tell her husband, she can no longtT
call upon her only lawful friend for the aid and
counsel which she is certain, sooner OF later to
