acknowledging her husband or dcserting him
no matter how far he had fallen.
Love, that unconquerable passion, true to its
instincts, never forsakes the virtuous and gene
rous heart, but clings and ever clings to the OBJ
ject of its affection. When Helen arrived close
enough to the crowd to discern objects dis
tinctly, she saw that one or two of the city of
ficers were treating her husband rather rudely
She no longer walked, but ran as fast as she
could TO the group. Hold" cried the frantic
woman "what has this man done that he
must be rudely dragged about in this manner?
The men desisted One of the officers re-
piled that he had committed no crime, but that
he was under the influence of liquor, and it
would not do to let him remain there laugh
ing stock for the boys-that their Office was
one of mercy rather than anything else. She
inquired what they were going to do with him.
They replied that, for the want of better
place, they were going to confne him in the
City Hall cells.
This was a stroke rather too hard to be borne;
but the woman rallied under the blow; she
was too much excited to feel the degradation
that surrounded her. Helen proposed that the
officers would take him to her dwelling instead
of place of confinement To this they readily
consented and, with one on each side, they
proceeded to carry, or rather drag him to a
place of privacy. The boys were deferred
from following the party By threats from the
officers.
They were not long in having Frank safely
lodged in his own house, when the humane of
ficer RETIRED leaving Frank and his wife to
themselves. But what change had come over
that happy household in the brief period of but
little over a month One of the most happy
of men and his aflectionate wife were living in
possession of every comfort that human indus
try could procure, or moderate wants could
desire. Then the politician had not entered
that happy household. How altered now =
The lovely woman, gay with happiness, and n
bright prospect before her, of but month ago,
is the poor heart-broken wife of a drunkard
Have politicians no sins to answerl The voice
of many bleeding heart can answer. The
voices dragged, starving children are eloquent
upon the subject. Roll in luxury; aspire to
the highest offices in the gift of the nation /;
look with contempt upon the means which
have elevated you look at the tracks of your
footprints upon the ladder, and see if they are

THE ROTTEN CONDITION OF THE U. S
STEAM FRIGATE MINNESOTA

This vessel is now in the Charestown Navy
Yard undergoing repairs, though she has been
only one cruise since she was built, and little
more than FIVE years old All her outside plank
ing, from the water-line to the planksheer, is
rotten. Already nineteen strakes of wales have
been taken off, many of them decayed through
and through. Inside nearly all her hatchway
combings are rotten, and much of the ceiling,
several of the hanging and lodging knee, three
of the thick strakes in the hold the mast part
ner knees and even the cable-bitts, are unsound.
All this decayed timber is white oak, and where
it has been in contact with the decks, which
are of yellow pine, the pine as well as the oak
is rotten, Now the prevailing opinion in rela-
ton to yellow pine is that it is rot-proofin con-
sequence of the turpentine it contains. We
have heard of yellow pine beams and keelsons
twenty years old, which where as sound as
when putin. But it seems, in the vicinity of de-
caying oak it is liable to be affected byit. The
pine of the Minnesotas decks, where layed to
unsound oak, can be crumbled in piece by hand.
But her frames, which are oflive oak, show no
signs of decay and this is attributed to the fact
that they had been well seasoned before being
used 1t appears also that unlike yellow pine,
they have not been affected by the disease or
the planking and ceiling which cover them.
From this we might infer that diseased white
oak only affects other woods that are softer
than itself-Boston Eueni'lg Journal.

WOMEN should be more trusted and confded
in as wives, mothers, and sisters. They have
a quick perception of right and wrong and,
without always knowing why, read the present
and future, read characters and acts, designs
and probabilities, where man sees no letter or
sign. What else do we mean by the adage
''mother witt save that women has quicker
perception and reader invention than man
How often, when man abandons the helm in
despair, woman sezes it, and steers the ship
through the storm Man often flies from home
and family to avoid impending poverty or ruin.
Women seldom, if ever, forsook home thus.
Women never evaded mere temporal calamity
by suicide or desertion. The proud banker
rather than live to see property gazetted, may
blow out his brains, and leave his wife and
children to want, protectorless. Loving wo-
men would have counselled him to accept pow
erty, and live to cherish his family and re-
trieve his fortune. Woman should be consult
ed and confided in 1t is the beauty and glory
of her nature that it instinctiyely grasps at and
clings to the truth and right. Reason, mans
greatest faculty, takes time to hesitate before
it decides but woman's instinct never hesi-
tates in its decision, and is scarcely ever wrong
where it has even chances with reason. Wo-
man feels where man thinks, acts where he
deliberates, hopes where he despairs, and
triumphs where he falls

he, giving way to a burst of laughter as he

execution was to have taken place the follow

closed, noiselessly glided towards the door,
and disappeared.
The next morning with the warrant in her
possession, she found little difficulty in getting
Duportail's name erased from the jailors book,
and she and her husband were soon on their
route to Bourdeaux, where, reunited to their
family, they sailed for Martinique. AT the
Restoration they returned TO France; and the
heroic wife is, we believe, still alive.

THE THOUGHTS or GREAT MAN.
II is evening in the office of the would-bc
senator. Seated before table obtaining books
and papers and writing material, the great
man was resting his head upon his hands,
while his elbows rested upon the table. Ever
and anon he would RIM his hands through his
hair as il anxious to catch a new idea, fe-
yerish excitement seemed to have possession
ofhis mind, and as bright or perplexing idea
crossed his Imagination hewould mutter to him
self, violently throwing his hands about and
artculating disjointed ordinations. For q
moment he would look distracted at the news
paper, and then, without paying any attention
to its contents would toss it aside. At length
he resolved himself into deep revery. He
proceeded to talk to himself;
THE lneal descendant of all the Blather-
sixties A race that ALWAYS possessed a large
share of talcnts-pcrchancc to be the great
ruler of the land. Can not in measure, do
something TO perpctuate that great name and
hand it down topostcrity, andno only increase
it in magnitude but a President may mark the
political epoch Of our history. This is my aim;
this is the height of my ambition, and | will
never sleep soundly or rest at nights until my
name is craven among the Presidents Of the
land. Ambition, ambition and vanity, when
will you cease to drive me on madly, without
rest, to my distant goal Pcrplexing idea.

THE FIRST TRIP OF THE U. S. STEAMER
LANCASTER-ARR1vA AT RIO

The following is frem a correspondent on
board the U. S. Steamship Lancaster, hence
from that station on the 26th of July:
U. S. STEAMER LANCASTER,
Rio Sept ID, 1859.
DEAR SIR:-We arrived here yesterday, about
2, P. NJ, having been forty-nine days on the pas
sage, on account of head winds which we had
during the entire time, with the exception of
three days off this coast. We steamed about
nine days, during which the engines worked
admirably, giving no trouble of any account.
The longest run was three days, during which
we never had to stop fora momenr. Yesterday
about seventy miles out, we fell in with a Rraz-
iian mail steamer. large English built, side
wheel ship, of which have not as yet learned
the name; she came close to us, and, supposed
thought to beat us easily fired up with her Eng
lsih coal, and, shooting ahead, crossed our bows
from starboardto port. Wewere then using on
ly the twelve main furnace. They succeeded
in getting up as high as twenty-five, and some
times twenty-three pounds of steam, with the
two main boilers alone, and made eleven knots,
beating the side-wheel steamer badly-leaving
her astern, and keeping So Wekeptthe steam
up for six hours, from twenty to twenty-three
pounds, feeding and blowing all the time too.
We made from fifty-one to fifty-two revolutions
at that pressure, cutting offat fourteen, throttle
wide open, all journals cool, no water on what
ever except on the after main journal of crank
shaft. Our speed was eleven knots; wind fair,
but so light as to retard us il we had sail
up, by throwing them aback, so that none were
set No humping of engines, of any account,
but working better the higher they were driven.
Our boleers are in fine order-no leaks to do
any harm. The governor, so far as tried, be-
leve is successful, but Captain Horn will decide
more fully. As to the engines, think we shall
make twelve knots nubcr steam, and very much
doubt if we can be beaten by any steamer in
the world-the Niagara not excepted.

election, it would notrcquire long to keep them

election, it would notrequire long to keep them
together.
The would-be Senator put his hand in his
pocket and handed Frank roll of notes. The
young man took the necdful, and placed it in
his pocket. The conversation was loud and
animated, but it was soon cut short by the en-
tering Of two or three of the great mans friends.
Frank was no longera person of interest to the
woud-be Senator. lie would answer well en-
ough to do the dirty work but when gentle
men came upon the stage, he was not man of
consequence. Frank sat and listened to the
different topics discussed until he was tired;
and then taking up his hat, without single
good night, left the house, alone.

POETRY.


For The Delaware Inquirer
EMMA
Oh, 'iis very cold without;
Autumn winds in chilly breath,
Drive the facing leaves about,
Telling of the Summers death.
But the Summer spreads alarm,
For fearful tempest bore
From our home its faircst charm,
One that cnn return no more.
Icrp long she stays away,
Moments drenr have hastcncd on,
Asks the heart in deep dismay:
Where, alasl has Emma gone,
When, Oh when, wilt thou return?'
Yearns for thee the heart of pain;
In sad tones the brcezes mourn,
.Nevcr will She come again'
Wildly raves the beating storm,
Darkness deep the earth doth hide,
While the voice of dread alarm,
Doth tile tempest furies guide
lut, beloved One where art thou
am waiting NIL alone
For thy voice so sweet and lOw
For some thrilling, gentle tone.
Passing drcary fades the day,
For the ear hath waited long
Fur some dear, familiar lay,
III the cheering voice of song.
What Il mourniul theme tell;
Deepest shadows shroud the soul,
'Tis my darling sisters knell,
That in mourniul pathos roll.
Very lonely is the night,
Melancholy pcals the rain;
Joy, alas has taken flight,
Buried with her meath the plain,
oil, ye wild winds breathing near,
Chant drge to pleasure flown;
Tell me, O, yc gales so drear,
Of the mystic great unknown.
Doth her peerless spirit dwell
In u bright, immortal clime
The sweet voice in rapture swell
Where celestial music chime?
When shall we thy equal know,
Truth as did thy mind adorn
Pure MS is the driven SNOW,
Bcautcous as the early morn.
But why should weep for thee;
Earth is often filled with gloom,
Thou art better off than we,
Though thy form sleeps in the tomb.
But It's hard to part forc'er
From the beings of our love;
From the heart so true and dear,
While in litc's dark scenes we rove.
But above the starry skies,
Not tear shall dim the eye;
There the loved one did arise
Swcctly chanting while we sigh.
