CHURLIsH HUSBANDS The Roches-
ter Temperance Journal, in reply to
an article describing the miseries of a
wife who had churlish, indolent hus-
band, says: .t Il 8 Z
q Who are the most to blame for
such husbands as the one described
above ?" We verify believe the proper
answer is-mothers. Yes, mothers who
have gone for u pail of water, or dug
the wood out Of the snow, while her Ia
zy lout Of a son has been permitted to
sit and roast his shins by the fire she
has made. We have lived to see sons
thus brought up become husbands, and
we never knew one that did not dishon-
or that relation. 1s' .a
All. yes; and the boys who are per-
mitted to lie in bed until father or
mother has got up and made the fire,
will be savage enough to let their wives
do the same. The only way to manu-
facture decent husbands out of such
sons, is for the wife to begin immedi-
ately after marriage, and if need be, lie
in bed till she has starved or shamed
her husband out Of it.

COMMON SENSE You've LADIES. If
young ladies only knew it, they would
be making themselves far more attract
i've in the eyes Of sensible persons Of
the opposite sex, by showing that they
are not afraid Of performing little la
Dor, than by a mawkish impression that
they are above work. Young men Of
brains, while Of course despising that
slavery that would continually keep the
ladies at the washstand, OF at the sew
ing table, without amusement or relax
alton at all, love to see desire in
young ladies to make themselves use
full, and in selecting a wife would vast
ly prefer such an one. 1t is all mis-
taken point that ladies need be dressed
in furs al.aa silks and feathers, to win
the admiration of young men. We
know Of half a dozen Of young men
who fell in love with their wives when
dressed in plain clothing.

says that children are the bolts and
screws which fasten a man to society,
and compel him to aid in propelling
the vessel Of society. He compares
old bachelors to a steam engine lying
loose in the hull of ship, which, for
the want of those bolts and screws adds
nothing in the propelling Of the vessel,
but becomes a dead weight upon its
progress. Our old bachelor readers

T Our citizens were favored last
week with a visit from Professors Fowler
& Wells, of New York. These literary
Gentlemen arrived in this place on Mon.
day evening, and remained until Friday.
Mr.. F. delivered course Of lectures on
the science Of Phrenology, to the great
delight and edi6calion Of large and high.
ly interested assemblies. Phrenology is
a branch Of study which has not, hitherto,
been thoroughly investigated by even the
liIerati Of our city; and hence many Of
the Developments which were made by
the learned lecturer, were both new and
highly interesting. We had long enter
tanned strong doubts in relation TO the
truth Of this branch Of study, but The ar
guments and facts presented by Mr.. Fow.
Ter were such as to caution US against
judging rashly, and condemning a subject
which we had never thoroughly investi
gated. This week Mr.. F. is delivering
a course Of lectures in the city Of Wheel
ing, where we hope he is meeting with
encouragement equal TO his superior lal
en,s, and to the merits Of his subject.
