Miss Mulocb, in her " Womans Thoughts
about Women very clearly defines the diff
culties of home government and its trials:
'The house. mother also has her troubles; ay,
be she ever so gifted with that blessed quality of
taking them lightly and cheerfully; weighing
them at their just value and no more; never
tormenting herself and every body else by that
peculiarly of selfish and narrow minds, which
makes the breaking of plate as terrible ca
lamity as the crash of an empire. No one can
hold the reins of family government for ever so
brief time, without feeling what difficult po-
sition it Isl how great is daily need of self con-
troll, as the very first means of controlling 9TH
ers of inoessant individual activity, and q
personal carrying out of all regulations instiu-
ted for the ordering of the tablishment-which,
unless faithfully observed by the mistress the
eye and heart of the house, are no more than a
dead letter to the rest of the establishment. No
doubt this entails considerable selfsacrifce. It
is not pleasant for lazy ladies to get breakfast
over at that regular early hour which alone sets
household fairly a-going for the day; nor for
unarithmetical ladies, who have always reckon
ed their accounts by sixpences, to put down each
item, and persevere in balancing periodically re-
,ceipts and expenditures nor for weakly, nerv-
Gus, seli-engrossed ladies to rouse themselves
sufficiently to put their house in order, and keep
ii so, not by occasional spasmodic setting to
rights" but by a general methodcal overlooking
'of all that is going on therein Yet, unless tins
MS done, it is in vain to insist on early rising or
grumble about waste, or lecture upon neatness,
cleanliness and order. The servants get to learn
that q" missis is never in time" and laugh at
her complaints of their unpunctuality. They
see no use IN good management or avoidance OF
waste. "Missis never knows about anything
She may lecture until she is weary about neat
ness and cleanliness" Just put your head into
her room and see!' For all moral qualities,
good temper, truth, kindiness, and above all,
,conscientiousness, If these are deficient in a
mistress it is idle to expect them in servant, OF
children, or any member of the family circle >

A Coon OLD MAS.-A good old man is the
best antiquity, and which we may with least
vanity admire one whom time hath been thus
long working, and, like winter fruit, ripened
when Others are shaken down. He hath taken
out as many lessons of the world as days, and
learned the bestthing in 1.-THE vanity of it, He
looks over his former life as danger we'll past
and would not hazard himself to begin again
The next door OF death sads him not, but he ex-
poets it calmly as his turn in nature and fears
more his recoiling back to childishness than
dust. All men look on him as common ia
ther and on old age for his sake, as a reverent
thing. He practices his experience on youth
without the harshness of reproof, and his coun-
sci his good company. He has some old stories
still Of his own seeing to confirm what he says
and makes them better in the telling vet is rot
troublesome neither with the same tale again
but remembers with them how oft he has told
them. He is not apt to put the boy on young
er man, nor the fool on a boy, but can distin-
guish gravity from sour look; and the less
testy he is the more regarded. You must parlon
him ii he likes his own times better than these
because those things are (olles to him now that
were wisdom then; yet he makes us of that
opinion too when we see him, and conjecture
those times by so good relic. He goes away
at last too soon whensoever with all mems sor.
row but his own (; and his memory is fresh wher

they deserved. In concluding, Mr.. Hale told a
story of young girl who said she had two things
settled in her own mind first, she would never
marry minister second, she would ever live
in the town of B. Yet she eventually married
minister Of B. so it will be with you my
young friends, said Mr.. Hale to the young ladies'

students that are clapping because they think
youwill all marry ministers. (Renewed merri-

was that the same duty pertancd to all. In

The PRESIDENT AID THE POLITICIANS AT
BEDFoRD-A letter dated Bedford Springs,
Aug. 9, to the Baltimore American, says:
There seems to be considerable excite
ment among the Democratic politicians here
on account of the marked friendiness dis
played by the President toward those who
sustain him in his Kansas views. In the
dining-room there are two general tables and
ten private tables, at one of the latter OF
which the President presides, which is occu-
pied by his family and that of Sir William
Gore 0useley Robert Nj Magraw, Esq, of
Baltimore, being the constant attendant OF
Miss Lane and the daughter of Senator
Bright.
There are still four vacant seats, which are
only filed by invitation of the President
Mr.. Carrigan, who expects to be the Anti
Lecompton Democratic candidate for Con
rress from one of the Philadelphia Districts,
had been there with his lady for several days
without being invited to the reserved seats
when Mr. Vandyke, the United States DIS
trict Attorney from Philadelphia, arrived
with his lady, he being Lecompton Demo
crat, they were Immediately invited to a
seat at the Presidents table, and Mrs Van
dyke was escorted to her seat by the Presi-
dent. This mark Of distinction between two
Democrats of equal standing has caused con
siderable feeling betw cen the two wings of the
party, and is the subject of general comment,
especially as there are still two vacant seats
at the table
Speaking of the Kansas question reminds
me of the frequent expression made by the
| President when conversing on this topic
He says that he feels thankful for the course
he pursued in securing the passage of the
English compromise, as by doing so he saved
the Union from instant dissolution. He is
convinced that such would have been the re-
suit had the Lecompton Constitution been de-
feated. He is evidently unaware of the ex
tent of the detection among the Democracy
of his own State on this subject, nine out Of
ten of those men having been converted from
warm friends to the bitterest enemies, those
only who are in possession or in anticipation
of the 1oaves and fishes openly processing
to agree with him on this subject"

GRAND SHOOTING AFFAIR IN COLUMBIA
TERRIBLE PuNIsmiENT.-John Cardinell alias
Long John and - shaw, says the Calave
ras Chronicle, were standing in Pete Fergu-
sons door, in Columbia, on Tuesday, Nth
September, about noon, when Mr.. Carder Of
the Columbia Gazette was passing 10y. Car
dinell stepped behind some boxes, took de-
Hberate aim at Carder with Derringer, and
fired. The ball struck the blade Of small
Bowie knife, which Carder had in his bosom
immediately over his heart. The ball fiat
tened to about the size Of quarter dollar
and glanced downwards, inhicting flesh
wound about five inches in length. Carder
drew and fired once at Cardinell, missing
him. Shaw then drew hisrevolver and COM
menced firing at Carder Seven Or eight
shots were fired, none of which did any
damage except the one fired by Cardinell--
An old grudge vas the cause of this grand
shooting. All the parties were arrested, as
we learn from the Columbia News, and heard
before Justice Calvin. The complaint of the
People VS.. Cardnell and Shaw, was dismiss
ed and in the second action of the City of
Columbia VS.. Carder and Cardincll, Carder
was by the Jury found not guilty, and Car
dlnell' who plead guilty. was fined 32o The
News driiy remarks on these cases:
1T will be perceived that the utmost Sc
verify IS visited upon all offenders of this
ant aino' ana the full penalty of the law is in

wish wish TO shoot at others, to go outside the
