SECRETS OF HAPPINEss.-As suscepti-
bility to delicate attention, a fine sense
of the nameless and exquisite tender
ness of manner and thought, constitute,
in the minds OF its possessors, the deep
est undercurrent of life; the felt and
treasured, but unseen and inexpressible
richness of affection. 1t is rarely found
in the characters of men, but outweighs,
when it is, all grosser qualities. There
are many who waste and lose affections
by careless and often unconscious neg
lect. 1t is not plant to grow untend-
ed; the breath of indifference or a rude
touch may destroy forever its delicate
texture. There is a daily attention to
the slightest courtesies of life, which
can alone preserve the first freshness of
passion. The easy surprises of plea
sure, earnest cheerfulness of assent to
slight wishes, habitual respect to opin-
ions, unwavering attention to the com
fort of Others abroad and at home,
and above all, the careful preservation
of those proprieties of conversation
which are sacred when before the world,
are some of the secrets of that happi-
ness which age and habit alike fail to
impair. York Mirror.

sY Inc lolloWlhS are among Doug-
las Jerrold's pithy sayings:
What women would do if they
could not cry, nobody knows. They are
treated badly enough as it is, but if they
could not cry when they liked, how they
would be put upon-what poor, de-
fenceless creatures they would be
"Nature has been very kind to them.
Next to the rhinoceros, there is nothing
in the world armed like woman. And
she knows it:
Out of which follows this advice to
married ladies';
"Cultivate your nerves. You can't
pet them too much. Something will
always be happening in the house, and,
unless your husband be worse than a
stone, every new fright will be as good
as new gown or new trinket to you.
There are some domestic wounds only
to be healed by the jeweler."
He says of an honest Benedict:
"He loved his wife in a plain.
straightforward fashion; and, as he was
never lavishly tender to her before
company, there is the greatest reason to
believe that he was neither savage nor
silent to her when alone. For some
married folks will keep their love like
their iewelry, for the eyes of the world;
thinking it too fine and too precious to
wear every day at their fire side"

CHRISTIAN LIFE.-A Christian mans
life is laid in the Loom of Time to a
pattern which he does not see, but God
does; and his heart is shuttle. On
one side of the Loom is sorrow, and on
the other is Joy; and the shuttle, struck
alternately by each, flies back and forth,
carrying the thread, which is white or
black, as the pattern needs; and in the
end, when God shall lift up the finished
garment, and all its changing hues shall
glance out, it will then appear that the
deep and dark colors were as needful to
beauty as the bright and high colors.-

A Royal Indian Wedding.

The Nebraska City Nccs of the Sd inst, con-
tains long account of the marriage of Paw
nee Chief to blood royal squaw of the 0ttoo
tribe The bridegroom was named Whitewater
and the bride Wah-mush-pc-shinga. We ex-
tract the following:
The chieftain' daughter was elegantly dress
ed in red flannel skirt with blue calico border,
checked apron, summer-killed buffalo robe,
and white felt hat Her jewels were magniii-
cent From either auricular depended bright
ornaments of brass tin and copper.
We must not omit to mention that Miss Wah-
mush-pe- shinga also wore " red pottlcoat,
embroidered according to design OF her own,
with porcupine quills, representing desperate
dog fight Her entire wardrobe and jewelry
could not have cost less than six thousand dol
lars in Fontcnelle money The bridegroom was
attired in all the magnifcence which his rank
and wealth demanded. He wore standing
shirt collar, q medal of President Pearce, a
blue straight collared, soldier coat with brass
buttons, and an elegant pair of Spanish spurs,
while his stalwert loins were admirably clothed
in an ancient coffee sack Although the apear-
ance of both the bride and groom was appro-
riatc to their high sphere in life.
The most sumptuous feast awaited the guest
at the residence of the BRIDES father. 1t was
spread in camp kettle and suspended over the
fire that burned in the centre of that princely
lodge. 1t consisted of young dog meat, very
tender, blue corn, and old dog meat, beaver
tails and mule steak, fresh fish and sugar, max
ing altogether one Of The most palatable and
nourshing compounds that ever graced camp
kettle. The horn-spoons Of accidental luxury
seldom convey to the educated palate viands
more tempting and delicious. As for drinks,
corn whskey, made of red pepper, tobacco
plugs and rain water, together with molaases-
sweetened coffee, made up the list.
Among the distinguished persons present, we
did not fail to notice the six Mesdames Petan-
asharo, the wives of that eminent {" Injin" who
is now at Washington visiting James Buchanan
on official business. Also Mr. Whitecow of the
Omaha principality, Mr. Big Soldier, Esquire
Wildcat and the Hon. tailed Elk.

A DAY AT SEA.-The ordinary sea-day COM
mences at II O'Clock noon, when all hands, fore
and aft, i. e. in cabin and forecastle get dinner
The crew are divided into two watches, called
larboard and starboard watches, which altern-
ate in performing ordinary ship duties One
watch is under charge of the first, the other of
thesecond mate, when there are two mates on
ly on board. After dinner, all hands are or
dered to turn to, under charge of one of the
officers, and labor till six O'Clock, the regular
supper hour. Then commences the alternate
watches from six till eight is called the dog
watch, during which half the crew have liberty
to go below and sleep if they please; at eight
the next watch is called and the other officer
takes charge of the deck till twelve, midnight :;
another change at four, and again at eight in
the morning, when all hands are called to
breakfast then one watch goes below till din
ner SO that the whole crew is not on deck in
good weather, except from twelve M. to six
P. M.
In times of emergency, however of gales of
wind, or any disaster, all hands are called, not
excepting the cook and steward, and are kept
on deck till the captain or officer considers one
watch able to take care of the ship. The man
at the wheel, or steersman is changed every
halfwatch, or two hours, during the twenty
four, and is, at times, the only man in ac.
tive duty on board. But sailor, in well
regulated ship, never has leisure hour in his
deck watch in the day time. The pulling and
hauling, making, and taking in and trimming
sails, is but small part Of his duty every
part of ship, from her deck upwards, is chat
ing and straining every moment at sea, in rain
and shine, gale or calm, and constantly requires
care, attention and labor. Probably no good,
shpmaster, at any one time, during his longest
voyage, was ever at loss for moment to find
work for his crew. AT night, the only business
Of the watch on deck is to steer the vessel,
keep good looko ut ahead, and be ready
to make, shorten or trim sail, This is the reg
ular routine for the officers and crew in ordina-
ry merchant vessels.
