SIMEON JOHNSON" ASKING FOR MORE"
"A Washington correspondent of the
Press, at Philadelphia, writes under date
of the 9Th:
"The appointment of the Commission
er to Paraguay, is new prize held out to
the hungry patriots. \ good many
mouths are watering for it, and good
many services will be rendered by the one
who may get it. The President is well
aware of all this. lie knows the value Of
such place in such times as these, and
he will be in no hurry TO let his selection
be announced. Mr. S. NJ. johnson, of
the Washington Union, who has earned a
good place by his somersault in favor of
Lecompton, after having been warmly
against, would doubtless take it, now that
the President refuses to remove Gen
eral Campbell, the American Consul at
London, as j. has asked him to do But
| do not think that Simeon will go to
Paraguay"

UpoH CHOOSING A WIFE-Young man
a word in your ear. When you choose a
wife, don't be fascinated with a dashing
creature fond Of society, vain, artistical
and snowy in dress. You do not want a
doll OF coquette for a partner Choose
rather onc Of those retiring, modest sensi-
bic girls, who have learnt to deny them
selves, and possess some decided character
But above all, seek for good disposition.
No ait f ella acter is more valu-
able in female than the possession of a
sweet temper Home can never be made
happy without it. 1t is like the flowers
that spring up in in our pathway, reviving
and cheering us. Let man 90 home at
night, worried an worn by tolls of the
day, and how soothing is "a word dictated
by good disposition 1t is sun shine fall
ing on his heart. lie is happy, and the
cares of life are forgotten.
