A WIRES LovE.-Therc is turning point
in the love of wife for Il husband which should
be carefully watched In some it occurs very
early, long before thirty, especially If the match
were one of passion or family convenience; but
in the majority of instances, its appearance
manifests itself about the approach to the mid
die age of woman, from thirty-iyc to forty
two There is revulsion in the whole moral
and mental being kind of chilling, cold in
difference, which the slightest nnkindness on
the part of the husband ut once kindles into II
fame. 1t is difficult to account for this tran.
STORY condition--bnt there is much proof that
q woman loves twice. She loves the husband
Of her spring; in the summer her attachments
requires more sustenance than that Of habit
and association hungers for the spiritual
element becomes dreamy and at every word
Of anger every slight, every nattenton, every
weakness OH the part Of the husband, crowds
on the memory Of the wife, and she becomes
miserable without knowing wherefor.

EIeesuosYnnrY Judges.

The New Albany Ledger says it was
the intention OF Judge Gookins of the
Supreme Court, some time ago, to resign
his seat upon the bench, and with that
view ne opened law office in connection
with partner. at Chicago, Illinois. But
some 'adniring friends, deslrous Of re-
tanning him on the bench OF the Supreme
Court. made up private purse oil twelve
hundred dollars to exc out his made
quate salary, and enable him to retain
his seat Ii this lie true it is q most
reprehensible act-one that should sub
ject the Judge to impeachment A ju-
dicial officer that can receive q douceur
from any party or clique of political or
social 'rlends for performing his public
duties, Is a man whose sentiments and
principles must render him basely unfit
for MS station. A Judge who would
stoop to receive his support from ihdivid
uals, has no sense Of honor, sel'.reSpect
or personal independence; if he be not
already subject for bribe, he will soon
be ready 10 receive one. II such things
be tolerated, at all, in any iorlb, by the
people, it will immediately become a
form AMI garb for the greatest bribing,
and our Judiciary will be as purchas-
able as Mexican coirts, and justice
among us Will soon &c "a merchantahle Il
commodity as it is in T.rkey. II Judse
GoOkins' ,admirng friends may make up
purse to aid him in the support OF his
family, Judge Niblack's friends will feel
it incumbent for them to pay something
to retain him on the bench; especially i
they had important cases likely to arise
in court, which they desire to be decided
by his supreme wisdom and Sagacity. -

Atlantic souuding..

Some doubts having been entertained
in regard 10 the correctness Of Lieut..
Berryman's soundings across the Allan
tic sor the led Of the suGmirine tele-
graph, an English ship was despatched
under Capt. Dayuan, of the British Ma
Wy. to test the American soundings.-
The result is the entire confirmation Of
Lieut.. Berryman's report. In every
step there was an agreement of the orig
inal survey. The same gradual shelv-
ing Of the ocean led from one or two
hundred iathoms off the Banks to seven
hundred and one thousand fathoms two
and thres miles out, with gradually in
creasing depth at the rate OF one hundred
feet every fifty miles, until reaching a
trihe over two miles in m,d Atlantic
then gradually shoaling until striking
TOUR hundred fathoms on the Banks OFT
the Irish coast. The same character oI
bottom was observed, soft feecy particles
in which the telegraphic cable will sink
as in snow drih. Every condition in
volving the safety of the cable reported
by Lieut.. Bergman was confirmed by
Capt. Dayman.
