The Turning Point

Somebody discourses beautifully on
the subject of a husband turning lover
again to his wife, in the middle peri
cd Of their matrimonial life.2 Let
thoughtlesS husbands, whoasebegin-
ming to find greater attractions than
theirown household, read the follow
ing paragraph with care
There is q turning point in the
love Of q wife for d husband, which
should be- carefully watched. In
some it occursvery srlys slong before
thirty, especially If the match, were
one of passion or family convenience;
but in the majority Of Instances, its
appearance manifesto itself about the
approach to he.middle age of women,
from thirty-6ve to fortyTtwo, There
is q revolution in the whole moral
and mental being--a kind Of chilling,
cold Indifference, which the slightest
unkindneSs on the part of the hus-
band at once kindles into flame
It is difficult to account for this trans
itory condition, but there is much
proof that a woman loves twice. -
She loves the husband of her spring;
in the summerher attachment requires
other sustenance than that of habit
and association--it hungers for the
spiritual element, becomes dreary,
and every word of anger, every slight,
every inattention, every weakness on
the part of the husband, crowds on
the memory Of the wife, and she be-
comes miserable without knowing
wherefore. The husband then should
become q lover again. q e.t "

Good Sense.

A very sensible exchange says the
mania to publish alarge newspaper,
without any regard to the amount of
business to support it, is one of the
prevailing evils of the times. We
say evil, because it is that and moth
ing else, A paper Of large dimen-
sions inadequately supported, is not
merely tax upon the publisher, but
is, in various ways, Improbable to
the community. We seldom have a
mail in which we do not receive one
or more papers which might be re-
reduced in size to the mutual benefit
of the publisher and reader. And
what would be for the benefit of the
publisher and reader would also be to
the advantage of advertisers. A
paper filled with prospectuses of dol
lar weeklios aasAy monthly magazines
and dead patent medicines, is al
most useless to the Legitimate, paying
advertiser, for no one thinks Of wa
ding, through its stale columns to
find anything new, We have thought
that the evil we notice would have
corrected itself before now, but so
far from diminishing, it seems on the
increase, and probably nothing but
the absolute death Of no inconsider-
able number Of the barely living es-
Establishments will bring newspaper
publishing into a healthy condition,
The silly pride Of essaying to make
q large paper, under the cringing ap-
prehension that people will not take
q small sheet, keeps him under the
harrow, with an empty pocket and
soul soursd by reflections quite un-
pleasant. s.-t,.a Ea-oF

The Thunder Storm &.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE,

| never was q man Of feeble cour-
age. There are but few scenes of
either human or elemental strife, up
on which | have not looked with u
brow of daring. I have stood in
the front Of battle, when the whirl-
wind was rending the oaks from their
rocky cliffs, and scattering them to
the clouds. have seen there things
with swelling soul, that knew not,
that rocked not Of danger but there
is something in the thunder's voice
that makes me tremble like child.
have tried to overcome this unman-
ly weakness. have called pride to
my aid /; have sought to strengthen
moral courage in the lessons of phi
losophy, but it avails me nothing
AT the first low moaning Of the dis
tant cloud, my heart shrinks, quivers
and dies within me. D .HHoH
y My involuntary dread of thunder
had It's origin in an incident that oc-
Cured when was boy of ten years
/ had cousin, girl Of the same age
Of myself, who had been the constant
compahion of my childhood
Strange that after tho lapse of SO
many years, that countonance should
be so ianiliarto me | can see the
bright young creature, hcr eyes fash
ing Ikea beautiful gem, herfree locks
streaming os fin joy upon the rising
gale; hor cheeks glowing like ru-
by through q wreath Of transparent
snow. Her voice had the melody and
joyousnoss of-a birds, and when she
bounded over tho woodland hill, or
fresh green valley, shouting glad
answer TO every voice OF nature, and
clapping her little hands in tho very
ecstacy Of young existence, she look
cd as If breaking away q freed night
ingale from earth, and going of whore

her. lc19loo seil ggdi

A Domestic Row.

Morton, the editor of the Nebraska
Mews, thus describes domestic row
and subsequent reconciliation, Of
which he was a witness
Coming down the Missouri, near
Bean Lake, between Weston and st.
Joe, our boat was hailed by woman
on shore. The officers Of tho craft,
with their usual gallantry, rounded
to-" headed up stream, and stopped.
The lady informed them that her
"duds and cooking consarns" were
all packed in the cabin hard by, ready
for removal, and that it was her desire
to take passage with them down the
river. Immediately the duds were
under way, and fast coming on deck;
when q man plowing in an adjacent
field, was seen to drop the reins, and
mount the horse, and come charging
and yelling towards the boat. The
captain waited until he had arrived,
and then putting and blowing, said /:
"Ann, whar on earth are you goin
tew?" .f.a.HhlttL W .n.Qa
Said she, -"Joab, ! allow to 20
where / amt to be cufed, and cursed.
and mauled every day, by such a brute
as you are" sg hra NJ
Said no, in a very melancholy tone
tam, farewell"
Said she, doubtfully-"Joab, II
you'll treat me better, Ill say and live
with you until the breath is clean out
of my innocent body"
And Joab promised that he would,
and that hc hoped to be eternally
dog. on-edt to thunder if he wouldn't
pay tho captain for landing, and treat
all around, if she would just stay, and
80 she stayed. And the last seen Of
this nearly separated couple, they
we're afectionately embracing each
other on the bank Of the t'big mud
dy," surrounded dy seven little free
soil boys, whose shirt-tails, like the
banners Of Macbeth. were hung upoa
the outer walls, and whose eyes were
full Of gum, dirt and wonder. Ngp

The Atchison Difficulty.

Two important facts are established
by this Atchison difficulty
,1tt, That the day Of Missouri inya-
sions is not yet over.
I'd, That there 10 still one place I'M
Kanzas whore free speech is forcibly
denied. t
Now we are as strongly desirous.
Of peace and repose as any can be-
None would deprecate renewal Of
bloody strife more than we. Our
exertions are always, and ever have
been, thrown in this behalf. But our
manhood rsvolts at the idea Of tame
ly submitting to open insult, or an
infringement Of those rights which
we hold to be inviolable sacred
Knowing we'll how essential it is to
the peace and prosperity of Kanzas
that the hatchet should 0e forever
buried, and that we should lookto the
ballot box for peaceful arbitrament
of the vexed questions here at issue,
we yet have not been schooledi in
that Utopian belief which teaches
quiet submission to oppression and
tyranny. ~
We see at Atchison a successful
attempt made by invaders, to prevent
q number of citizens from meeting
in convention, and we see fatal
blow struck at freedom of speech
Now then it behooves us--Hay, it is
our imperative duty--to vindicate
these inalienble rights, forfeit our
claim to the title of MEN. Better, far
better, that we should be the serfS of
some imperial Gear, than that We
should truckle basely to usurpation,
or complacently look upon the vie
lation Of principle and right. 1t is a
matter of little import whether jim
LANE speak in Atchison or not, but
it is matter Of vital interest to every
citizen of Kanzas whether he shall
not have the liberty Of speaking there.
and be protected in that liberty
The insults to which that band Of
Free State men were subjected were
given to the entire Free State party,
and the blow struck at Col. LANE
struck every freeman in our midst.
1t remains, then, for the Free State
party to resent these high-hand in
suits, and vindicate eur down-trodden
rights. Nor shall we rest content till
LANE has spoken in Atchison and a
Free State convention has been al
lowed to meet and deliberate without
interference from home or aJroadl--
Unless we greatly mistake the temper
and spirit ofthe Free State party, we
speak not only its sentiments, but in
dicate and foreshadow its resolution.

Life in the w est.

The following genuine woman's
letter is from the Portsmouth Tribune.
The letter is from Strawberry Hill,
Kanzas, and dated May 10th. In
getting out there, they all piled into
one little wagon, stopped one night
at a log house, innocent Of daub and
chinking, and had to hold the bed
clothes with their teeth to keep them
from blowing away. We quote the
rest from the letter:

a Love Story,
BY MAGGIE STEWART.

Sweet Flowers grew by the streamlet,
Where first learned to love
The song-birds trilled 'mong the branches,
And the sun shone bright above:
Light zephyrs played with the leaflets,
And fannec my happy brow,
While the stream ran on with its murmur
Meath the waving willow bough
Oh my life was full of gladness,
Pure bliss without alloy
The merry notes of the song-birds,
Were echoes OF my Joy
To sit by thy side and listen .....
Thy voice II hear it now
While the stream ran ON with its m urmur
Meath the waving willow bough.
I've sat by the ripling sireamlet
In those dreamy summer days.
While Fancy and Hope were singing
Their sweet delusive lays
OF Love and a happy Future, ..
No care to shade my brow!
While the stream ran on with its murmur
Meath the waving willow bough.
often read in the twilight
Sweet "Memory's tablets" DER,
And sigh, that I'll meet thy greeting
And wondrous smile no more.
"Thou hast learned to love another"
To greet me coldly no'O,
While the stream runs on with its murmur
Meath the waving willow bough.
The flowers are dead by The streamlet,
And hushed its musical chime,
The birds sing not 'mong the branches,
They've flown to SUMMER cline; .r.
An, my hearts young love has vanished,
For "thou lowest another now,"
And I'll list no more to the murmur
Meath the waving willow bough,
.She sleeps by the ripping streamlet
Where the dewy grass-blades wave;
And the birds ring sweetly above her,
And violets bloom DER her grave;
: The winds moan loud 'mong the branches,
Yet they cannot disturb her now,
And the stream runs on with its murmuI
Meath the waving willow bough.
We folded the snowy grass.shroud '""
Over the still cold breast, ..
And wept DER the young life blighted,
Now free from wild unrest,
Ger the wreck Of her hearts rich venture
Yet, "she is happy now"
We read by the musical murmur
Meath the waving willow bough
