OI'R NATIONAL DERT.

During the last term Of Gen. Jack
sons Administration, (says the Nash
vile Gd-ette) the entire debt of the
United States was paid off, and the
large surplus remained in the Treasury
was deposited with the State in the ra-
tio of their representation in Congress.
At the close of the Mexican was, and
after the s5,OO0,0OO had been paid to
Mexico for California, Arizona and New
Mexico, the entire public debt was IS,
900 900. The increased business of the
country from 1850 to 1857 incrca cd
the revenues of the country to Such an
extent that, after paying the current
expenses of the Government, this debt
was reduced to s25,000,000. In 1857
came the great panic or reaction in
business, which reduced the imports
to an extent that tho revenues there
from were insufficient to meet current
expenses, and the Government has been
obliged to borrow, in all, up to the
present time, 100000. This, added
to the s25,OOO,OOO of the war debt yet
unpaid, makes the aggregate of onr ma
tional debt at this time Gj,0O0,000. In
addition to this, Congress has just be-
fore adjourning, authorized loan of
100000.

PARAGRAPH MATRI MONIAL.

Choosing a wife is u pcrilous piece of
business. Do you suppose there is moth
ing of it butevening visits, boquets, and
popping the question? My dear Sim
plo young man, you ought not to be
trusted out by yourself alone! Take
care that you don't get the China ar
ticle, that looks exceedingly pretty on
the mantlepiccc, until the gitand orna-
mcnt arc all rubbed off, and then is fit
only for the dustpile. A wife should
be selected on the same principle us Il
calico gown. Bright coors and gay
patterns are not always the best econ
omy. Get something that will wash
and wear. Nothing like the suns and
showers Of matrimony to bleach out
these deceptive externals.
Don't choose the treasure by gas light
or in parlor sitting. Broad daylight
is the best tme-a kitchen the most
sensible place. Bear in mind, sir, that
the article once bargalned for, you can t
exchange it if it don't suit. If YOU buy
watch and it don't run as you expect
cd, you cant send it to Il icwclcr, to be
repaired; in the case Of Il wife, once
paired, you can'trcpair. She may run
in the wrong direction-very well, sir !;
all that is left for you is to run after
her, and an interesting chase you will
probably find it. If you get u good
wife, you will be the happicst fellow
alive! lfyou get II bad one, you may
as we'll sell Iyousclffor two and siXpcnce
at once! Just as well consider all these
things beforehand, young man.

EDUCATION OF THE SEXES.

Girls are too frequently early taught
deceit, and they never forgot the lesson.
Boys are more outspoken. This is be-
cause boys arc instructed that to be
frank and open is to be manly and gen
crous, while their sisters are pcrpetually
admonished that "this is not pretty" or
"that is not becoming" until they have
learned to control their natural impul-
ses, and to regulate their conduct by
preccpt and example. The result of all
this is, that while men retain much Of
their natural dispositions, but too many
women have made-up characters.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE PARTISAN
PRESS.


The following is the expression of
opinion of Senator Anthony, editor OF
the Providence Journal, upon the value
of party newspapers, contained in Il
speech in the Senate:
"And this leads me to n piece of ad
vice which give to our friends on the
other side Of the Chamber. 1t is very
valuable advice, but | ask nothing for it.

mcnt ofa newspaper 1t is almost the
only matter that do know anything
about; and for the truth of the maxim
which am about to declare appeal to
those Senator's on both sides of the
Chamber, who, if they have not had
greater experience than have in that
honorable profession, have reflected
greater credit upon it. 1t is this a pa
per that cannot support itself cannot
be Of any service to party; to depend
upon it is like leaning upon II man who
cannot stand up; to spend money upon
it is like wasting fuel in the attempt to

papers were read has passed; and the
day has long since arrived when a pa
per, to be of service to 4 party, must
first establish value to the public. 1t

THE ART OF BEING POLITE.

First and foremost, don't hy to be
polite! 1t will spoil all Ifyou keep
overwhelming your guests with osten-
tatious cntrcatics to make themselves
at home, they will very soon begin to
wish they ucre there. Let them find
ont that you are happy to see them by
your actions, not by your words Al,
ways remember to let bashfal people
alone at first It is the only way to
set them at their ease. Trying to draw
them out has sometimes the contrary
effect of driving them out-of the house.
Leading the conversation isa dangerous
experiment Better follow in its wake,
and if you want to endear yourself to
talking, learn to listen well. Never
make n fuss about anything--ncvcr
talk about yourself-and always pre-
serve perfect cOmposure, no matter
what solccisms or blundcrs others NAV
commit. Remember that it is very
foolish proceeding to lament that you
cannot offer to your guestsa bettcrhousc,
furniture or viands. 1t is fair to pre-
sumo that their visit is to you, not to
these surroundings. Give people
pleasant impression of themselves, and
they will be pretty sure to so away with
pleasant impression of your qualities.
On Just such slender wheels as these
the whole fabric of society turns; it ia
our business, then, to keep them in per
feet revolving order.

= Splendia STORY,
THE
AMATEUR MECHANIC.
III GEORGE ARNOLD.

Jack Crawford was Il very odd sort
Of fellow. He took particu ar delight
in dis Iuiscs, rOmances, mysteries, and
adventures generally. Therefore, he
was continually getting into scrapcs OF
all kinds; and, naturally enough, there
was always "a lady in the case"
This made him little msogamical~- l.
mild sort of woman-hater, Yet for
all that, somehow, he could never lct
the sex alone.
A profound love Of Nature and jolly
times led Jack and myself to othe pretty
village Of st. Blossom, one summer
We went to fish, to sketch, to see the
scenery, and pcrhpps, to drink the wo-
ters Of the springs there; for, as Jack
remarked, "thcy possessed peculiarly
refreshing QuaIitics--whcn mixed with
Il Little cogniac."
The morning of the third day Of our
soiourn found us seated upon a howcry
slope, skirted by pollard willows whose
ouordcd roots were bathcl by the clear
waters of II stream that omptied into
the bay. We had sought the spot to
smoke an afte breakfast cigar, and to
induloc in a ouiet chat, with the bearl-
ties Of Nature before oar eyes.
As is painfully apt to be the case,
when two voung mcu are together, our
talk was all Of women.
Women, what an ineXhanstibIe sub

ton, for writing, for oratorv, for paint,
inc for SCULPTURE, and for matrimony.

You arc sadly mistaken, Jacl; and
