A wife's influence.

Judge O'Neil, in the Yorkville En-
quirer, tells the following Of Judge
William Smith Of South Carolina:
He had the rare blessing TO win the
love Of one of the purest, mildest and
best women, whose character has ever
been present to the writer He married
Margaret Duff. In his worst days she
never upbraided him by word, look or
gesture, but always met him as if he
was one of tho kindest and best Of hus-
bands. This course on her part humbled
him, and made him weep like a child.
This sentence, it is hoped, will be re-
membered, was the language Of Judge
Smith TO the friend already named, and
to those who knew the stern, unbend-
ing public character Of the Judge, it
will teach a lesson of how much a pa
tient woman's love can accomplish. He
was at last reformed by an instance of
her patient love and devotion, as he
himself told it,
"The evening before the Return Day
Of the Court Of Common Pleas for York
District, a client called with ffty notes
to be put in suit. Mr.. Smith was not
in his ofice-he was on what is now
iashionably called a spree, then a frolic.
Mrs. Smith received the notes and sat
down in the Office to the work of issuing
the writs and processes. She spent the
night at work--Mr. Smith lin riotous
living. At daylight, on his way home
from his carousals, he saw a light in his
Office, and stepped in, and to his great
surprise saw his amiable wife, who bad
just completed what ought to have been
his own work, with her head on the table
and asleep. His entry now awoke her
She told him what she had done, and
showed her nights work-ffty writs
and processes. This bowed the strong
man; he fell on his knees, implored hei
pardon, and then and there faithfully
promised her never. to drink another
drop while he lived This promise,
says my friend, Colonel Williams, 'ht
faithfully kept, and, said the Judge t.
him, from that day every thing which
touched turned to gold His entire
success in life, says Colonel Williams
he set down to his faithful observance
Of this noble promise. "
No better eulogy could be pronounc
ed on Mrs. Smith than has just been Civ
en- in the words of her distinguished
husband The reformation of such
man as William Smith is a chaplet oi
glory which few women have been per
mitted to wear. TO the people of Sout'
Carolina, and especially of York Dis
trict, certainly no stronger argument i
favor of temperance, total abstinence
need be given.

NEW GAME.-Godey's Lady'S Book
has the last new "sOoial game" Here
it is:
A small piece of stick is lighted at
one end, and the blaze is blown out
leaving the sparks. 1t is then passed
from one Of the company to the next
on his right hand, and so on round the
circle, each one saying as he hands il
to bis neighbor, Jacks alive" The
player who holds the stick when the last
spark dies out, must consent to have
delicate moustache painted on his face
with the oharred end of the stick, which
is then re-lighted, and the game goes on.
Should the Wearer of the mOustaohe
have Jack die a second time on his
hands, an imperial, whiskers, or exag.
gerated eyebrows may be added to his
charms. While Jack is in lively con-
ditioh, with his sparks in fine brilliant
order, he is passed oarelessly from one
player to another; but when he shows
symptoms Of dying, it is amusing to see
how rapidly he changes hands, for each
player is bound to receive him as soon
as his neighbor pronouuces "Jaok's

rations are objected to, a forfeit may be
paid instead, by those who hold "Jack

SILVER MINES OF ARIZONIA.-Fears
are expressed, says the Charleston Eve
ming News, the present relative value Of
silver to gold will be greatly changed
from the increase of the latter as com
pared with the former. This apprchen-
sion is reasonable enough, were the re-
sources Of the silver regions not to ad-
NIT soon of larger Development But
it is a law of Economics that, when and
where there is demand, there will be
supply. The large consumption Of sill
verin the arts, and the increased demand
for it as remittance in the Chinese trade,
has stimulated enterprise to open those
sources of silver which are known to
abound in various parts of the world.
This has been particularly manifested in
the Northern portions Of Mexico, which
are known to be prolific of this metal,
as will be seen from the following advi-
ces at Washington from Arizonia, dat
September 28th:
1t has been ascertaincd that the So
nora silver mining company has begun
shipping silver from Ilac to San Fran
cisco at the rate of about 1000 ounces
per week. This will be largely increased
when the amalgamation works are FIN
ished. Several other mines are well
opened and smelling has been commenc.
cd with large returns.
