A STORY FOR HUSBANDS.

There are scores of husbands who might
profit By this little story: our lady readers
know who they are, and will commend it
to them: Ep.O.F.
"What is it, my love! can't get it for
you?" said the silvery voice Of the young
bride; and she jumped from her seat and
stood with foot all ready to spring up
stairs, or down stairs, the instant the word
was given.
The husband, large, strong, handsome
young man, who had been looking about

"No, no, let me get them:r and with
eager haste the fair bride rushed nm 70 har

seen q pair Of gloves, upon a table.
"Thank you, my love, said the husband
as be received the gloves from the hand Of
his wife. Then he stopped to pick up his
slippers, which he was going to put away
in the closet.
"PH put them away, Justin" said The
wife, taking the slipper from him.
"Now let me tie your comforter for YOU

JUDICIAL D1eN1TY.-The Lecompton cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette gives
the following graphic description of court
in Kansas:
"While the examination of witnesses is
going on the Judge will take his hat and
leave the room to visit some one of the nu-
merous saloons in the town, for drink
The proceedings are stopped, and after
waiting awhile for the return of the Court,
and that dignitary not coming back, the
Attorney General then, in imitation Of 'ys
Court" goes out to drink. The Jury see
ing both the Judge and Attorney go out
to liquor, conclude among themselves to
follow suit, and soon the q. s. Marshal is
left alone in the room with the prisoners
and witnesses. -='
If the Judge gets to drunk too return,
the Court is adjourned until the next morn
ing. Lecompte, in spite of bis stupidity
and prejudice, has some deeency in this re-
spect, while Cato has none whatever"

A PLAIN MANS PHILOSOPHY.
BY CHARLES MACEAY,


I've guinea can spend.
I've wife and I've friend;
And troops Of little children at my knew, John
Brown,
I've cottage ofmy own,
With the ivy overgrown,
And garden with view of the sea, John Brown
can sit'at my door
By shady sycamore.
Large of heart, tho of very small estate, John
Brown;
So come and drain a glass
In my arbor as you pass,
And I'll tell you what l love and what hate
John Brown.
love the song of birds,
And the children s early words,
And loving wo mans voice, low and sweet
John Brown;
I And hate false pretenec,
And the want of common sense.
And arrogance, and fawning, and deceit, John
Brown.
love the meadow flowers,
And the briar in the bowers,
And love an open face without guile, John
Brown,
/. And hate selfish knave,
And proud, contented slave,
And lout who'd rather borrow than he'd toll
John Brown.
love simple song
That awakes emotions strong,
And the word of hope that raises him who faints,
John Brown;
hate the constant whine
Of the foolish who repine,
And turn their good to evil by complaints,
John Brown,
But ever when hate.
IfIseek my garden gate.
And survey the world around me, and above
John Brown;
The hatred flies my mind,
And I sigh for human kind,
And excuse the faults of those cannot love
John Brown.
So If you like my ways,
And the comfort of my days,
will tell you how / live SO unvex'd, John
Brown;
l never scorn my health,
Nor sell my so1l for wealth,
Nor destroy one day the pleasure of the next
John Brown,
I've parted with my pride,
And take the sunny side,
And I've found it worse than folly to be sad,
John Brown.
I keep a conscinee clear,
I've hundred pounds a year,
And manage to exist and be glad, John Brown.

PICTURE OF LrFE.-In youth we seem
to be climbing hill On whose top eternal
sunshine appears to rest. How egarly We
pant to gain its summit! But when We
have gained it, how different is the pros
pect on the other side. We sigh as We
contemplate the dreary waste before us !;
and look back with wishful eye upon the
flowery path we have passed, but may new
er more retrace. Life is like portentous
cloud, fraught with thunder, storm and
rain; but religion, like those streaming rays
of sunshine, elothe it with light as gar
ment and fringe its shadowy skirts with
gold.

Daniel Morgan, the Rifleman.

The following appears in letter of a
Virginia correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce;
''The name of Daniel Morgan, the cele-
brated commander of the Virginia Rifle
men, is household word in Virginia.
His remains repose at Winchester. Jersey
man by birth, he early emigrated to the
Virginia wilds, and was WAGNER in the
French war. Tall, muscular, and Injured
by all hardships, be was fond of adventure,
framed for intense daring and hair breadth
escapes. He had been grossly insulted by
one British officer, and severely punished
by another, in the name of King George.
He vowed vengeance, and kept his vow.
"At the opening of the Revolution he
raised battallian of rifemen, and drilled
them to perfection. They spurned the
bayonet, and relied on the deadly aim of
the rifle. He used to say the business of
his men was to kill, not to be killed. At the
the battle of Saratoga, seeing the day was
going against the Americans by reason Of
the extraordieary skill and energy of Gen.
Fraser, with his Scott division, he resolved
to resort to the only measure conceivable
to arrest the tide of of battle that threaten
ed to overwhelm them. Summoning to his
presence the best marksman in his COM
mand, whose aim was never known TO fail,
he said to him: Murphy, do you see that
officer on the iron gray horseg yes sir
was the reply of the old soldier. Morgan
rejoined with an almost faltering voice,
"Then do your duty .
"Murphy ascended tree, cut away the
interlaced branches with his hatchet, (this
was part of their variagated armor,) rest
ed his rifle in sure place, watched his op-
portunity, and as soon as Gen. Fraser had,
in his animated movements, come within
practical range, Murphy fired, and the
gallant Fraser fell mortally wounded, being
shot in the centre of his body.
That fall decided the day. The enemy
soon gave way, and Saratoga became i'm
mortal. But Morgan, the rough soldier,
was a man of tender feelings, and almost
wept at the deed, and always said it troub-
led him because it looked so much like
kind of ASSASSINATION of brave and noble
officer; though gallant as that officer was
he placed himself there to be shot at, and
was engaged in shooting others. 1t was
similar way that Nelson fell on the deck
of the Victory"

A NEW REMEDY IN D1ARRHorA. CHot.

A NEW REMEDY IN D1ARRHoEA, CHoL-
ERA INFANTUM, AND CHOLERA MoRAus.-
Lawrence Leid, Professor of Chemistry in
the New York Hospital, gives the follow
ing recipe: IL would wish, through the
medium of your paper, to give publicity to
the fact, that I have seen instant relief
given in cases of Diarrhea, by the use of
Hydro Sdphuric Acid, tea-spoonful Of 4
saturated solution being mixed with four
times its bulk in water. Also in case of
Cholera Infantum, in which the child was
very much reduced, and the stomach in an
extreme state Of irritsbiity, so that moth
ing would be retained, this remedy was ad-
ministered with ease, and the child imme-
diateIy improved, and has since recovered.
I believe that this is a new remedy, and
that there is no reason to apprehend any
i'll effects where it does not produce cure,
and believe that it has had some specific
effect in counteracting the cause, and i'm
mediately arresting the disease."-M Y.

WHEAT AND CHEss.-Benjamin Hodge,
ESQ.,, of this city, some months since, in
communication to the Rural New York
er, offered one hundred dollars to the IL
dividual who would prove that wheat
turns to chess. This reward is now claim
ed by farmer of Monroe county, who
says that there is now growing on his farm
wheat and chess springing from the same
stalk. . .-4 ,--(
The New York State Agricultural So
ciety, under whose supervision these ex
perinents are to be tried, have appointed
]. H. Thomas, of Wayne county, John
Johnstone, of Seneca, and Prof Dewey, Of
Rochester, as a committee, to meet at Ro-
chester this week, and investigate this mat
ter. This Committee will doubtless care
fully examine and dissect this apparent
anomaly in the vegetable kingdom, and en-
deavor to ascertain whether it springs from
one germ or two, whose stems have boone
eutwined together. This subject of the
transmutation of wheat into chess, so in
teresting to the scientific man, as well as
to the farmer, is one which is as yet by
no means settled in the public mind
