GRATUIToUs. - Most of the advice
ahoat is written for the benefit Of wives
alone, but the following is to the other
side of the house, aud meets with our
hearty sanction: When your wife begins
to scold let her have it out. Put your
feet up costly before the fireplace, loll
back in your chair, light one of your best
cigars, and let the storm rage on-say
nothing, make no reply to anything
Well, a little more advice, if you please.
Having placed yourself in that position,
reflect whether you deserve the thunder
about your ears, and if so, (which is prob
ably the case), put your feet gently down,
cease your telling, put out your cigar, kiss
your little wife, and endsavor to be bet
ter husband.

New TERRITORIAL PRovIsIoNs.-The Ter
ritorial Committee Of the Senate, instead
Of recommending the erection Of the "Gads-
den purchase" into territory under the
title Of Arizona, have submitted an amend
ment to the organic act Of New Mexico,
which provides for a new judicial circuit to
include the Gadsden purchase, and for a
new census and apportionment in the terri
tory with view to giving a fair and equal
representation in the territory The
amendment is comprehensive 10 its terms,
as will be seen by the following important
section:
"SEc. 4. And be u further enaeted, That
whenever said territory shall contain sufi-
cient population to constitute State-to-
wit, the number required by the then ratio
Of representation for a member Of Congress,
to be ascertained by census taken in pur-
suance of law--the Legislature Of said
Territory may proceed to call q convention
for the purpose Of forming constitution
of State government, which constitution
shall be submitted to the people for ratif-
cation or rejection, and Il ratified by ma
jority Of the legal voters in the limits Of
the proposed State, but not otherwise, may
be sent to Congress in the form Of an ap-
plication for admission into the Union on
an equal footing with other States, with
such boundaries as Congress shall prescribe.
This section shall be and is hereby incOr-
porated into and made apart Of the or
ganic law Of each Of the territories Of the
United States, except the Territory Of
Utah" 4s
Should this section become law, two i'm
portant results will be secured, viz: that
territory must have q population sufficient
to entitle II to one member Of Congress (at
present 90, $50 inhabitants), before il can
initiate movements for State government,
and that the State constitution must be
ratified by q majority Of the people before
it can be presented to Congress. These,
in our Judgment, are excellent proYisions,
and Il adopted win dispense with maDyIo Of
the evils which have hitherto attended the
admission Of new States. Territories
should have time to mature and acquire
some settled character and position before
being admitted, and their constitutions
ought to be the perfectly clear and evident
embodiment Of the peoples will, The pro,
visions apply 10 all our territories, except
ing Utah, which, from peculiar circumstan-
ces, Is allowed to stand BY itself baeh 20

READINe.-A man may as well expect to
grow stronger by always eating, as wiser
BY always reading. Too much overcharges
nature, and turns more into disease than
nOurishment 1t is thought and digestion
which make books serviceable and give
health and vigor to the mind. Books well
chosen neither dull the appetite nor strain
the memory, but refresh the inclinations

Though young no more, we still would dream

The leagues of life to graybeards seem
Shorter than boyhood's lingering miles.

And many Holy Fathers niece"

When sixty bids us sigh in vain
To melt the heart Of sweet sixteen,
We think upon those ladies twain
Who loved so well the tough old Dean.
We see the Patriarchs wintry face,
The maid of Egypt's dusky glow,
And dream that Youth and Age embrace,
As April violets fill with snow.
Tranced in her Lords olympian smile
His lOtus-loving Memphian lies
The musky daughter Of the Nile q
With plated hair and almond eyes.
Might we but share one wild caress
Ere life's autumnAl blossoms fall,
And Earth's brown, clinging lips Impress
The long cold kiss that waits US all

The morning OF that blissful day
When Rose, the flower Of spring, met,
And gave my raptured soul away.
