\ married couple of Cincinnati, after
living together for thirty years, recently
petitioned the Ohio Legislature, for a
divorce, without, however, assigning any
reason for this abrupt termination of their
domestic relations. The matter was re-
ferred to a committee, which in due time,
presented the following report
The petitoners-James and Maria
Sutton-do not sufficiently set forth the
cause, why they mutually severed and
parted, and after co-habitation of thir-
ty years, it is necessarily very important
to know these reasons. They leave an
immense range of inference on the minds
of this learned assembly. They might
have been dissatisfied with each others
personal beauty, or wearied with their
respective mutual attractions. They
might have been fighting constantly for
thirty years, and at last, both being ex-
hausted, and neither being able to .'come
up to the time" they mutually backed
out, tizzled and crawled away from the
scene of combat Again some direful
tiend, in moustache and patent leather
boots, may have intruded his fascinating
but diabolical phiz, into their peaceful
domestic circle, poisoned the happiness of
that shrine and finally caused sepa-
ration between the blessed pair, and q
connection between bis own back and a
tough cow-hide. Which of these is the
cause of the split, the committee are un-
able to say.
Again they are of the opinion that two
mortal sinners, who have been in purga-
tory for thirty years, should certainly be
put through in one direction or the other,
instead of being allowed to return to the
terrestrial condition of their former state.
A precedent will be found for this course
in the case of "Orpheus VS.. Pluto."--
First Pandemonium Reports, 729.
The committee could see no reason
why these evidently ancient turtle doves
should not peaceably and quietly pursue
the course they practiced for thirty years,
and mutually return to each others bo-
SONS; and would advise this course, for
reasons as follows:
!" For high the bliss that waits on welded love,
But, purest emblem of the bliss above.
OF one fond heart to be the slave and lord,
Bless and be blessed, adore and be adored;
70 draw new rapture from another's joy;
10 share each pang and half its sting DESTROY
70 own the link of soul, the chain of mind,
That hearts to hearts aud hands to hands can

The dearest spot Of earth to me
l. hulne, sweet home;
The fairy land I've longed to see,
Is home, sweet home;
There how charmed the sense of hearing
There where hearts are so endearing,
All the world is not so cheering,
AS home, sweet home.
I've taught my heart the way to prize
My hGne. sweet home;
I'v4 learned to look with lovers eyes,
On home, sweet home;
There where vows are truly plighted,
There where hearts are so united,
All the world besides I've sighted,

TIE Needfat Coarage.-W Whatever YOU
be in rank, fortune or abilities, be not a
coward; courage is the armor of the heart
and the safeguard of all that is good in
this world. Not the yalor that faces the
cannon, or brave the perils of the wilder
ness and wave. That is useful quality,
and much to be respected, yet only after
its kind, as thing which a man may
share with his dog. But courage to speak
the truth, though it be out of favor and
fashion; to stand by the right when it is
not the winning side; to give the wrong
its true name, no matter what my lord
may think or my lady will say, that is the
bravery most wanted in these days of
much profession and little practiee.--N
Yorker.

Young IVomen's Part IN Lye.-Therc
is something in a fair faced damsel which
takes a young mans eyes--whether he
will or no. 1t may be magnetism. 1t
may be the sympathy of that. which is
beautiful in mems natures for that which
is lovely in women's. The women
have great power over the sex called
sterner. Particularly SO, if they be young,
pretty and marriageablc. Young women
do you know that it is you who are to
mould some mans life Have you ever
thought of the responsibility that attach
es to you who are married! A word you
may say to a young man whom you may
never marry nor even see a second time,
will possibly exert an influence over his
life that you don't dream of A smile
does wonders in lighting up the dark cor
ners OF man S soul--a word in the right
place may electrify his whole being. A
wrong influence will do more damage in
a single instant than life time may cor
rect. TIE tashioaable ertraragaace of a
large majority of the young women, in
toan and country, frightens young men
away from intention of matrimony, leads
them to look upon the whole sex with
distrust and drives them to scenes where
they are bound hand and foot by the un-
reasonable demands of the wives who
would spend faster than they could make.
And the fact is that this tendency shows
signs OF increase makes the case worse.
The fever of fashionable dress, the igno-
rance of housewifery accomplishments
the lack of the peculiar home virtues that
are calculated to make home loyely-in-
feet the villagers nowadays as they do
in the city.
When an earnest, energetic, hard
sensible young fellow, who is in
search of wife, sees this, he fears, hesi-
tates, refuses to marry at all perhaps.
and so does only half the good he could
IN the world-simply because he has no
notion of fulfilling the homely but very
truthful adage which tells of placing a
mans nose continually upon ffrr grind
stone. We commend the subject to the
'egard of our young women readers
Let them cultivate the domestic virtues
know woman's duties-cherish their
lands less and their intellect more-and
heir lot will be happier and better
dore than this, they will find that there
're mates in the world for them, and
hose worth having. VIII not mothers
ring the true mode of life before their
daughters in the light in which it ought
o be shown-which is nothing more than
oma,on sense. That is the rarest of vir
ues; more valuable because there is
little of it to be found.

MESSAGE or THE MAYOR or BALrMoRE.-In
view Of the recent outragcs and murders in Bal
timore, the Mayor of that city has just transmit
ted a message to the Common Council, urging
the necessity Of increased vigilance on the part
of the authorities in maintaining the supremacy
of the laws. Mayor Swami attributes the law
lessness which pervades the city Of Baltimore to
several cause.-the warfare against the organized
government by what he calls partisan press,
among others, which, he says, has paralyzed the
arm of authority. The existence of low drink
ing houses, the carrying of concealed weapons
and the defective organization Of the criminal
courts contribute also TO strengthen the
cause of rowdyism and violence. There is
no doubt that in Baltimore, as well as in
this and other large cities of the Union, the weak
administration Of criminal laws and the ease
with which malefactors can escape the penalty
of their crimes by means of legal shifts and
bubbles has done more than anything else to
swell the catalogue of crime

The receipts of beef cattle during the past week

head as compared with the week previous. The
demand yesterday was tolerably active, but prices
ON the average declined about a quarter of a cent
per pound, although for the best quality Of cattle
offered tTifing advance on last weeks prices
was obtained. There were no really prime
cattle on the market. Considering the state Of the
weather, and also that the poultry season is now in
full blast, decline in prices Of bccves may be
sonably looked for. The demand for mich cows
was moderate, but previous rates were maintained
Prices ranged all the way from $40 to SOS, and even
$50. There was improved demand for veal
calves at 3lc. &C., according to quality. The de-
mand for sheep and lambs was quite brisk, and
prices advanced Csc. per head. The quotations
are 50 so a Sc 50. There was fair supply of hogs
on market, and an upward tendency in prices
Prices ranged from sc. to SEC per pound.

conspiracy 'hath two-fold operation in It." al
though not exactly of the same exhilarating
character First, the leading conspirators have
had their revenge to crafty; and secondly,
they have sought to turn it to pro-
fitable account in view of the re-organ-
cation Of the democracy in 1860, in the sane
tuary OF the Charleston Convention. But in the
first and in the second consideration, under the
programme adopted and thus far pursued. the
paramount object involved is what Forney face
tiously calls the "Tylerizing" of the present ad.
ministration; in other words, the work compre-
hended by these men demands, first OF all, that
Mr.. Buchanan shall be read out Of the democra-
tic church, as John Tyler was read out Of the old
wing party. Then, but not till then, will the
coast be clear.
What, then, should be the policy Of the admin
istration? Clearly, the policy of the guillotine
to every leading officeholder implicated in this
Douglas conspiracy, here and elsewhere. We
perceive that the removal of Collector Schell is
now imperiously demanded in certain quarters,
as just penalty for bis alleged neglect of duty
in regard to our late elections. We believe,
however, that if guilty at all, of remssness as
partisan the Collector is the least guilty of our
federal officials, and that if he is to be dismissed
the whole batch should be turned ont of doors,
and new set appointed from the Collector
down to the Naval Storekeeper. The admins
tration may hesitate at this sweeping operation,
but it viii be infinitely better as cure for the
disease than any partial application of the knife
Nor need there be any hesitation in this tho
rough work of reform. The administration, in
the results Of these fall elections, has seen its
worst days. Nor has 1t sustained any important
damages which it may not repair. Even in his
approaching annual message to Congress Mr..
Buchanan upon new measures and questions of
legislation, domestic and foreign, may, and most
probably will present a schedule Of recommen-
dations which will entirely overshadow the sla-
very agitation and all parties and factions con-
cerned therein. Thus, on or before the meeting
of the Congress of December, 1859, the demo-
crazy and the opposition factions may undergo
such processes of reorganization as will utterly
supersede the plans and calculations of Seward,
Douglas and all the other Kansas and niger
agitators Of the day.
