A KEEN DISAPPOINTMENT Abingdon
Virgnan relates the following very amusing
story: We happened to be at our depot few
days ago, when the mail train arrived from
Bristol. AS itmoved off in hurry we observed
a young gentleman standing upon the track in
rear Of the train, barcheaded and with evident
disappointment depicted on his countenancc.
Rcmarking that Il passenger had been left, q
bystandcr, with knowing wink. replied that
the bare headed man upon the track and q
young lady upon the train had intended to
stop at Abingdon, with the design of commit
ting matrimony. The young lady was in
charge of her mother who was taking her
eastward from Bristol to prevent the mar
riage. The young couple had arranged the
matter thus: The cxpectant groom without
the knowledge of the mother, was to come as
far as A bingdon in the baggage car, and then
about the time the train was to start he was
to run to the back platform of the rear car,
where his lady love was to be standing, and as
the train moved off he was to lift her down,
and let the ncorrigible nanny go on, with
ample time for reflection upon the uncertainty
Of human calculations The arrangements were
understood by the engineer, who was to move
off as rapidly as possible as soon as the hatlcss
gentleman disappeared behind the train. The
mother, however, having seen him making his
way to the rear of the car, looked around for
her daughter, and seeing her about to pass on
the platform, rushed towards her and grasped
her tightly by her clothing, just at which mo:
ment, the lover having reached the signal post
toot! toot! sounded the whistle, and away went
the train, with the mother holding on to the
daughter and the young gentleman, as before
remarked standing bareheaded upon the track,
looked very much as if he had let a bird go.
BE NEAT Young ladies, if they only knew
how disgusting to men sloyenlincss is, and how
attractive are displays of neatncss and taste,
would array themselves in the simplicity and
cleanliness of the lily; or, if able to indulge in
costly attire, they would study the harmonious
blending of colors which nature exhibits in all
her works. A girl of good taste, and habits of
neatness, can make more fascinating toilet
with shilling calico dress, few cheap ribbons
and laces, and such ornaments as she can gather
from the garden, than vulgar tawdry crca-
ture, who is worth millions and has the ward.

Do SoMErnISG-It is truly melancholy
spectacle to see so many drones in the great
and busy hive of human life We daily see
young men of education, and who possess more
than ordinary natural gifts, lounging about as
if there was nothing in the boundless universe
worthy of their attention How utterly lost to
manhood are many sons of wealthy parents!
No ambition, no hope no ardent desire, ever
spurs them on to leap from obscurty into the
broad daylight of lasting renown. Their lives
which should be full of noble achievements. are
dawdled away in unholy disspations. If such
is to become the universal effect of wealth on
the rising generation, it were far better that
poverty should forever be the handmade Of our
sons and daughters. In the name of common
humanity We call on all young men to do some
thing DO not sneak from the cradle Of infancy
to the coffin Of oblivion without, at least, one
great effort to prove you have not lived in vain.
Remember that fame and honor arc never achi-
eyed with folded arms and mastery inactiv-
Iity." When the sublime wisdom of common
sense taught Columbus there was new world,
he did not preach his belief with idle hands and
lack lustre eye. The wonderful discoveries in
science and art were not made by men who re-
garded life as holiday Of idleness. If you
would achieve fame, if you would win the ap-
plause Of your fellowmen, if you would gain
your own self respect, then, in the name Of all
that is good and sacred we call on you to 90

A WIFE SUING FOR HER LoRD.-We nave
heard often of wives being restrained by their
parents from their husbands, but seldom OF nus
bands being restrained from their wives In
the New York Supreme Court, few days ago,
Mrs. Elizabeth Sinclair brought suit against
her father.in law, John S. Sinclair, to produce
the body of her missing husband. 1t appears
that younr man named James Sinclair, still
| in his minority, entered into the slken band OF
matrimony with Elizabeth -Four days after
the ceremony the young bridegroom informed
Elizabeth that he feared detention and con-
straint on the part Of his father, and charged
her to take immediate proceedings to recover
his liberty should he be missing Her petition
states that her father.in-law detains her hus-
band, and refuses to allow him to visit or live
with her; that John S. Sinclair has declared
his intention to keep his son away from her at
all hazards, and will if necessary, send him out
of the country to prevent them from living
together.
The elder Sinclair made a return that his
son was minor, and he was domicilcd, up to
the date of the writ, in his house, and wholly
dependent upon him; that he was not restrained
Of his liberty by force or confinement, but only
commanded under pain of the parental displea-
sure, not to leave the premises for previous
disobedicncc and disrespect for the commands
Of his father. In conclusion, he states that his
son had already left the control and custody
Of his father with the consent Of the latter who
consequently could not now produce him as
required by the writ
When the case came on for hearing, both
parties not being ready, all adjournment was
lgrauted.

IT is quite needless to reiterate here the fact
that the advantages for many years offered at
this port to the whaling fleet, in the way OF re-
~cruiting, are unsurpassed by those of any port
in this ocean. 1t is this fact that annually draws
to us in the spring or fall seasons, the entire
whaling feet. What these advantages are have
often been repeated. They are not the mere re-
suits of chance, but arise from the natural posi-
ton of our isolated group, coupled with the lib
eral policy of the government towards the whal-
ing interests. The local laws relating to them
are the results of long experience, such only as
have had years of testing, and which In most
cases have been enacted at the instance of intelli-
gent sea captains visiting our group.
Ii would be idle to ignore the fact that the
benefits arising from the annual visits OF the
whaling fleet here are mutual-the whole popu-
lation of the group as well as each ship, deriving
benefit therefrom. In fact no one will question
that with all the preaching and teaching
which these islanders have received, they would
have been far behind what they now are as
an independent government, without the constant
intercourse with the large number of foreign ships
which annually visit the various ports of these
islands. Honolulu has been built up and become
an important commercial port, from the annual
visits of whaleships, it is true not at the expense
of ship o,oners, however, but mainly from the
amounts spent here by the officers and crews of
these vessels
Our readers are well aware from the statements
we have heretofore published, that the season OF
| 1858, was q disastrous ne-th is, the seasons
catch, which amounted to an average of only $40
barrels to each ship, was so small as to incur a
loes ON tbe current expenses of the feet. In our
annual review, published December %, referring
to the poor return, We said:
awhat the effect Of this seasons work viii be on the interests
of whaling, 1t would be premature to conjecture one thing Is
certain. that New Bedford ship-owners can receive no great pre-
6bs from their investment when their vessels meet only win sucn
success a they have obtained this season. That the poor r-
turns OF this year viii make some change, 10 certain II may re
sut in sending out n class Of smaller and less expensive vessels
\ than the greater part of those now IN employ. nhfy parks OF
400 on each can he fitted out at an average outlay OF not over
i as 600 each. and this feet bring in as much oil as the same
number OF larger vessels sailing at from $4,000 to 5000 0each
/ Il is clear that the former should be used, and ene-half Tho cali-
Il tai invested saved. Economy in some way viii have TO De
studied. or the North Pacifc whaling business must receive =
serious check from the present falling of. Thenext season may
/ - an Improvement ON the present, and we hope II VIII, put N
nse4 4 he only sure basis on which adventures should be staked-"
By the last mail from New York we see that
