the discussion Of general principles We would not

think moreover, that there was abundant evidence
in the sxcle to which he refers, TO convince him

it-that, upon the particular subject 10 which h
appears sensitive. our remarks were designed for
general application. When We have any other

before I can get it into the infants stomach, he
will be far away in the realms Of thought, leav-
ing me not little vexed at his apparent stupidi-
ty.
Mr.. Snow knows the name of every paper
published in England, France and Germany but
he can't, for the life of him, tell the names OF
his own children. He knows just the age of
every American journal, but he does not know
the age of his own baby. He knows just how
one Of his contributors looks but don't believe
he can tell whether my eyes are black or blue.
The world says Mr.. Snow is getting rich;
all know about it is, he gives me money to
clothe and feed our boys, and that, too, without
q complaint of poverty. I hope the world is
right in opinion and when I am fully satisfied
that it is shall advise him to resign his edito-
rial honors, and spend few months in becom-
ing acquainted with his wife and children. The
little ones will feel much fattered in making
the acquaintance Of 30 literary gentleman.

A SUCCESSFUL LAWYER,

in q fair way to be consigned to the State prison.

and as witness after witness left the stand, the
old prisoners face grew pacr and palcr. and he
tremblcl at the certainty of his fate.
BY and by Mr. Bartlett opened his eyes, cast
glance at the grey hairs Of the culprit, yawned
gently, and turning to the Attorney General, said
audibly-'ll defend this man. He asked no
questions Of thc witnesses, and took no notes
but when the evidence was through, he rose and
delivered one of the most beautiful arguments

Ask me not why heave the deep sigh,
MY feelings cannot we'll smother;
And should but speak, the names I'd repeat
Would be those, of my father and mother
The world may be gay, in its own wanton way,
1t may fondlc and love one another;
But no hearts are true, like the sun to the dew
Bnt those of father and mother.
Seeming friends may beguile with kiss or smlle'
But O, how much We had rather,
Tbey,d come to us now, from Ehc ever loved brow
OF dear cherished father and mother
Ther. are none who can trace, the emotions which
chase,
Across our visage each other;
And feel for the woe, which daughter may Kno"
Like the true ones,- s,-our father and mother
THERE'S no tie on Garth, which has e'er had birth
Tho climate may change every other;
Like the feelings tina, burn, in the hearts sacred

Let what may betide, on the worlds ocean wide'
Our hearts, will be still knit together
And tho I'm not there, will pray God to spare
Forever, my father and mother.

INV husband to be an amiable, good natured
man. He always spends his evenings at home,
and is, in that respect, very moral man, but
he always brings with him a pile OF exchanges,
which are limited only by the length of his
arm: and reads while patch the knees and ell
bows of our boys coat and pantaloons. After
we have Ind a quaker meeting Of an hours
length, break the silence by asking: Mr..
Snow, did you order that coal spoke to you

"What did you say my dear 2" he asks, after
few moments silence.
"Did you order that coal spoke to you
about?"
"Inleed, my dear, am very sorry, but !

Another hours silence, which IS relieved by
the bsby's crying, and rather liking to hear a
noise of some sort, make no effort to quiet
him.

some catnip tea to quiet him he troubles me"
The baby is still, and another hour passes
away without o breath Of noise. Becoming
tired of silence, take lamp and retire for
the night, leaving Mr.. S. so engaged with his
papers that he does not see me leave the room.
Towards midnight he comes to bed, and just
as he has fallen to sleep the baby takes notion
to cry again. I rise as quietly as possible, and
try to still him. While l am walking the
room with the small Snow in my arms, our

to sleep again, leaving me pacing the room in
as much Yexation as can comfortably contain.

Mr.. Snow an account of my last nights adven-

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.

Our community was startled this morning by
the announcement, which spread like an electric
shock through the city, that one Of our most
enterprising merchants and respected citizens
had terminated his life by his own hand, under
the most strange and melancholy circumstances.
VIM. L. IngrahaIn was found dead about 10
o'clock last night, at his room in this city under
circumstances which leave no doubt of his hav-
ing shot himself and which indicate that the
horrible deed had been committed ten oRtwelSe
hours. lie had been in company with his
friends in the morning, and up to ten o'clock,
appeared well and cheerful. About this hour
he complained Of pain in his head, and laying
off his coat and vest threw himself upon the
bed. One or two gentlemen occupying rooms
adjoining expressed some soicitudc about his
health, and he replied that he thought lie would
be better after laying quietly while; and nc
cordngly they left the room.
lie was heard to lock the door soon after
but supposing it was for the purpose of prevent
ing disturbance, it attached no surprise. The
day passed off, and Mr.. 1agraham did not make
his appearance. One of his friends occupying
room near him, ordered his dinner sent to
him but knocking at his door without receiy-
ing any response, concluded that he was asleep,
and soon went out. During the day persons
raped at his door several times, but received
no answer. AS he did not 60 to supper, lliI
friends became uneasy, and forced All entrance
to his room, through a window. He Was lying
on his left side ina pool Of blood, dead, having
shot himself with single barreled pistol near
ly the whole charge entering his body, and
passing through his heart. Ills arms were In
the attitude Of shooting, and the pistol lay
within the angle of his left arm, over the heart.
lie must therefore have expired Immediately.
Persons in the adjoining rooms recolect hear
ing noise, like the falling Of window, about
II o'clock in the morning, which was doubtless
the report of the fatal shot. The rooms were
separated by closets, with double doors and
partitions, and hence the ndistinctnesS Of the
report.
The above facts are gathered from the evi-
dence at the Coroner's inquest, held about half
past eleven o'clock last night.
No explanation has come to light as to the
causes that led to this fatal result. The de-
ceased was quiet and gentlemanly in his de-
pertinent, not given to excesses, and rather
cheerful in his disposition Recent embarrass-
ment in his business has given him some ankle
ty, and affords the only incentive to self de-
struction yet developed. Mr.. Ingraham has
left an aged mother, and other relatives in Con-
necticut. He was about As years. old. We
learn that e will be buried this afternoon

LOSING ALL...A FAMILY SCENE.

There is something exceedingly tender, us
we'll as instructive, in the following, which we
take from the Child's paper:
A few days ago, merchant failed in business.
He went home one evening, in great agitation.
"What is the msttcr?" asked his wife. III am
ruined; am beggared. have lost all w he
exclaimed, pressing his hand upon his forehead
as if his brain were in whirl.
"Allm said his wife; 81 am left" "All, pa
pal" said his eldest boy; "here am l." "And
+, too, papa," said his little GIRL running up and
putting her arms around his neck. "I's not
lost, papa" repeated little Eddie. "And you
have your health left" said his wife. "And
your two hands to work with papa," said his
eldest, Ct and can help you." "And your two
feet, papa, to carry you about" "And your
two eyes to see with, papa," said little Eddie.
"And you have Gods promises" said grand
mother.
"And good God," said his wife. And
heaven to 20 to-" said his little girl. "And Jesus
who came to fetch us there" said his eldest.
"God forgive me" said the poor merchant,
bursting into tears. 81 have not lost my all.
What are the few thousands which have called
my all, to these more precious things which God
has left me 2" and he clasped his family to his
bosom, and he kissed his wife and children with
q thankful heart.
All no there are many things more precious
than gold and bank stocks, valuable as they
may be in their place. When the Central
America was laundering at sea, bags and purses
of gold were strewn about the deck as worth
less as the merest rubbish. "Life, life I" was
the prayer. To some of the wretched survivors,
"Water, waterw was the cry. "Bread, bread !'
it was worth its weight in gold, if gold could
have bought it.
The loss Of property must not cloud the mind
with wicked forgetfulness of the greater .bles-
sings which are left behind. No man should
despair, for no man has lost his all until he has
lost his integrity, lost the mercy Of God, and
lost his hone Of heaven at last.

WEARING THE GARTER.-We ask if it be
possible that one can destroy the proportions of
well-shaped leg by gartcring the stocking be-
low the knee? Look at the statue of Venus
and in thought draw band or an elastic under
the knec-would not the result he delorlnity?
But place the band above the knee, and the har
lnony of the lines is not dlsturbcd-it becomes
an ornament. The women at Athens and Rome,
who were famed for their taste and skill in dress

selves with them, let US sec how longit has been

this mattcr-the Duke de Saint Simon. If he
docs not prove the garter to have been worn
above the knee before the reign Of the great
king, he establishes, at least, this fact, that the
elegant and fashionable women Of the time woro
it thus; for in his memoirs, alluding to Mile.
de Bremile, whose inelegant manners caused
