put the editor of the Argus on the track 1t is

NJ. E. Church tomorrow, Mr.. w. has been
the pastor of this church for two years, aud
now by the regime Ofh his denomination, he must
go elsewhere, as in that church pastor is
stationed over one congregation for moro than
two years.
Under Mr.. Wilson's efficient and eloquent
ministrations, the Fourth Street Church has
prospered greatly. and has been favorite re-
sort with many persons, not members, who were
desirOus of hearing well digestod aud well de-
livered sermon.
We hope it will be the pleasure of the Confer
ence to appoint Mr.. Wilson to the Chaplino
street charge, for the next two years and not
remove him from the city.

Maxims for Married women.

A young lady being on the point Of
marriage, applied to married friend for
a set of rules to guide her in her new com
dition. The following were presented to-
her in reply:
81. Avoid all thoughts Of managing;
your husband. gGF fin9
2, Never try to deceive or impose on his
understanding, nor give him uneasiness,
but treat him with affection and respect!
3. Remember, that husbands, at Best,
are only men, subject, like yourselves, to
error and frailty. Be not too sanguine,
then, before marriage, or promise yourself
happiness without alloy.
4. Should you discover any thing in
your husbands humor or behavior, not
altogether what you expected or wish,
pass it over. Smooth your own temper
and try to mend his, by attention, cheer
fulness, and good-nature.
5. Never reproach him with misfortunes,'
which are the accidents and infifmities Of
human life, burden that each has en-
gagged to help the other in supporting, and
to which both parties are equally exposed;
but instead of murmurings and rehections,'
divide the sorrow between you, make the
best of it, and it will be easier to beth
6. 1t is the Office Of the softer scx to
smooth the troubles of the other.
Z. Resolve every morning to be cheer:
full that day, and if anything occur 10
break your resolution, suffer it not to pu
you out of temper with your husband,
8. Dispute not with him; but rather
deny yourself the trihing satisfaction Of
having your own will, or gaining the bet
ter of an argument, than risk quarrel OF
create heart. burning, which it Is imposs-
ible to see the end of.

Drowned.

On Saturday last, the driver on the Fort
Scott stage route was drowned in the Pot
towotomie, in attempting to ford that
stream in order to reach town. As there
were no witnesses to the sad accident, we
are left entirely to conjecture what were
the causes which led to it. It appears
that the stage had been broken down,
previous to reaching the stream, and that
he had dashed one wheel upon a mule
his team consisting of two mules and q
horse-placed his mail bags upon the other
mule, and was riding the horse, in which
manner he is supposed to have entered
the stream, which was too high for fording
at that time. The team reached the bank
on the opposite side in safety. The de-
ceased's hat was found floating q short
distance below the ford, which gave q
clue to the sad fate of its owner. After
an industrious search, the body was found
on Sunday afternoon. and brought to Osa-
watomie, where on Monday he was inter-
red. The name Of the deceased was
Densmore, and when found he had be.
tween seventy and eighty dollars in mo.
ney and a note in his pocket. A cousin
living in town is his only relative in THU
part Of the country. No coroner's jury
was called, but everything went to show
his death was purely accidental.-Osa'
