other Chief Magistrate has the power
not only to repel, but TO punish Outrages

that power would be abused, MIR. Dou-
glass only fear was that it would not be
exercised often enough.
We cannot protect our commerce in
the Gulf and the Caribbean Sea with
out power in the Executive to punish
promptly. The British name isrespect-
ed, and ours despised among the Spanish
Americans, because the British take
instant reparation, whereas the Mexican
and other weak Republics know that the
President has no instant powers, and in
the delay of negotiations, reparation is
lost. Mr.. Douglas held, therefore, to
the general policy, to keep the President
clothed with power to protect citizens
outside of the United States by summa-
nv process, without going through this
old formula of resolving that the aggres-
scrs must not do it again. He was in
hopes there would have been no speech
es, but that the bill would have been
passed unanimously, without a word,
which expression of sentiment would
have carried more force than the Army
or Navy.

Ny pretty little dears, you are
no more fit for matrimony than a pulIet
is to look after a family of fourteen
chickens. The truth is, my dear girls,
you want as a general thing more liber-
ty and less fashionable restraint: more
kitchen and less parlor; more leg exer-
else and less sofa more frankness and
less mock modesty more breakfast and
less hustle. I like the buxom, bright
eyed, rosy-cheeked, full-breasted lass,
who can make her own frocks, mend
trousers, and be lady withal in the
drawing-room. But as for your pining,
moping, screwed-up, wasp-wasted, put
ty-faced, music-murdering daughters of
fashion and idleness, with your con-
sumption-soled shoes and silk stockings,
you won't do for the future wives and
mothers Of America.-Nrs. Els.

Ange' Music.

THE following lines contain Ii orally words
that breathe and thoughts that burn" We
gather them from the sea Of literature, where
we find them drifting anonymously.
When the twilight weeps meath the azure veil,
And the sweet flowers sigh as the day grows
pale,
Then an angel comes on her silver wings,
And q golden harp in her hand she brings:
Soft, sweet and low,
Rich numbers flow,
And hush my breath while the angel sings.
Oh the love rays fall from her dcw-fllcd eve,
Like the soft star-beams from the twilight sky,
And she fans my brow with her fragrant wings,
While she gently strikes on the golden strings;
Soft, sweet and low,
Rich numbers flow,
And weep for Joy while the angel sings!
Like the soft south wind, when he woos the
flowers,
Like the glad birds noe in Ii lova- reathcd
flowers,
Like the thrilling sigh of the wi .d's harastrings,
Are the rapture-tones that the angel sings;
Soft sweet and low,
Glad breathings iOw,
And dream Of love as the angel sings!
Like the plaintive voice Of the moaning pine,
Like the wild, wild wall of the heaving brine,
Like the groans that sweep on the night-wind's
wings,
l. the strange, sad song that the angel sings!
Soft, sweet and low,
Sad breathings hOw,
And dream of death while the angel sings
Then lofty strain on rich harp swells,

Marriage fOr Show.

To the question often asked of young
men as to why they do not marry. We
sometimes hear the reply, i am not able
10 support a WIFE In one case In three
perhaps, this may be so; but as a general
thing, the true reply would be, i am moi
able to support the style in which think
my wife ought to live In this again
we see false view of marriage look
ing to an appearance IN the world instead
OF union with loving woman for her
own sake There are very few men, OF
industrious habits, who cannot maintain Z
wife, if they are willing to live econOmi-
Cally, and without reference to the opinion
Of the world. The great evil is. they
are not content TO begin life humbly, to
retire together into an obscure position
and together work their way IN the world

Life without Love,

We sometimes meet with men who
seem to think that any indulgence In al
affectonate feeling IS a weakness. They
will return from a journey and greet thcil
families with a distant dignity, and move
among their children with the cold and
lofty splendor of an iceberg, surrounded
by lis broken fragments. There Is hard.
ly more unnatural sight on earth thar

A father had better extinguish a boy:
eyes than take away his heart. Who tha
has experienced the joys of friendship

humorous way. The Times says:
"a society has been formed among the

mendable object IN view of inducing the
young men to abstain from all intoxicating
drinks-even ale, beer, wine or cider. A
provision of the society debarring young
ladies' from assOciating with those who
refuse to sign the pledge having become
public, some of the young gents refused
to sign, protesting against such action, and
formed another society, which requires of
young ladies, TO make them eligible to
good society," to abandon hoops, paint,
and Alabama silk We have not heard
whether the two parties design nOminat-
