shall nat pretend TO determine As viYacity
is the gift OF woman, gravity is that of man.
They should each of them, therefore, keep a
watch upon the particular bias which ma
ture has fixed in their minds, that it may not
draw teo much, and lead them out of the
path Of reason. This Will certainly happen
if the one in every word and action reflects
the character of being rigid and severe, and
the other of beng brisk and airy. Men
shoefd Beware of being eaptlvated by a Kind
Of sayage philosophy, woman by a thought
less gaiiantry. When these precautions
are not observed, the man often degerefstes
into acynic, the woman into coquettes the
man grows sullea and morose, the woman
impatient and fantastical. Taking fkese
facts IS basis for our premises, we may
conclude that men and women were made
as counterparts 10 one another, that the pains
and aaxieties Of the husbare might be re-
ieved By the sprigfai;uess and good harnor
of the wife. When these are tempered, care
and cheerfulness go hand in hand; and the.
family, like ship that's duly trimmed. wants
neither sail nor ballast.

The Missouri wife Murder er-HorribIs Confess
sion of the Murderer.

The Missouri Wife Murder Horrible Confess
sion of the Murderer.
A nsan by the name of Geo. H. Lamb,
was arrested few days since at st. Louis
for the murder of bis wife. He was former
ly hotelkeepey in Mendota, FL, and had
marrIed young woman of Hamilton in that
State. Some tinze after his marriage he
proposed to his wife to go to the South, and
the twain departed. I'm few months Lamb
returned saying that his wife was dead and
buried, and that she died at Memphis. Her
relatives made inquiry and found the report
false Lamb was then arrested. In bis
confession he states that himself and wife
went to St. Louis and stopped at the Astor
House. While there he attempted to poi
son her but did not succeed. How he finally
sueceededin numbering her we copy from his
confession
"VVe left the Astor House in baggage or
express wagon. Nobody but the driver went
with u.s. Ny wife seemed perfectly willing
to GO Went down to the lower ferry land
ing. do not know who the driver of the
Wagon was, nor the number or his Wagon.
think the driver was colored man. We
went into little room on the ferry warf-
boat. There 74as yorng man on the land
ing, and I asked him if my wife might sit
there, he said she might. J told two boys
to bring nse skiff. We staid there till the
boys came up with the skiff. paid six or
seven dollars for it. We had been there an
hour when the boys brong!t the boat. We
went down the river and stopped below the
steamboat about fifty rods, where levee or
streetis built out towards the river stopped
to get weight, telling my wife it was to put
in the bottom Of ofthe boat to keep it steady.
Two boys brought stone piece. tdid not
get out of the skiff My real design in get
ting those STONE was to sink the body oil my
wife.
After getting the stones we went on pas:
an island, without any trees on it on the Mis-
souri, side. did not see Carondelet al all.
| did not notice more than one island of the
kind spoken of. We went down the riv-
er about half way of the island on the east
side near the channel where steamborts ron.
It was gettrg considerably sarx. Il was
rather on the Missouri side, about forty or
fifty yards from the sflsse. The steamboat
CHANNEL is betwee3 the Illinois shore and
where we.were. When we got there pat
4 nay hand on the back of her neck and push
ed he head down under the water, keeping il
under about two minutes. She was then
dead-~capsed By my holding her head usdel
i the water. took her shawl of, urd bon
net, and tied twine around her neck
The ewiae was from four to six feet il
} lengths between her neck and the stone.--
I then lifted the stone over the skif and she
/ dropped right down The stone was littlt
I larger than this book (Revsed Statutes) ter
: or twelve pounds weight. J got the twin'
{ or cord for the purpose Of using it thus.
then got out into the Island and showed thu
skiff cut into tho stream. The skiF Was o
