4, A Novel Way to Cure a Husband of
Night Walking.

We have heard of numerous expedi-
ents resorsed to by wives whose husbands
were in the habit of being out late at
night, to bring the gentlemen home at a
proper hour, but none that for originality
or effect surpassed that adopted by lady
of this city. Tt appears that her hus-
band hae been in the habit of spending
his evenings away from home, never COM
ing in until eleven or twelve o'clock, and
frequently staying out until daylight.
The patient wife used every endeavor to
convince him of the error of his ways,
but tears and representations were of no
avail. Finally. she hit upon plan which
brought the gentleman to his senses, and
as soon as his legs would carry him there,
to his home. After waiting for him till
near morning. she filled the fire place full
Of light pine shavings.and applied match
to them. The chimney being full of SCOT
took FIRE, and the flames burst forth. The
alarm was given at once, clothes hastily
put on. FIRE bells rang. engines brought
out, and for few moments it was thought
that, general conaagration was about to
take place. The erring husband was one
! ,ofythe first to arrive at the house, and
without, stopping to unlock the door,
burst it in. ready to do valorous deeds in
-escning wife and children from the de-
vouripg element Judge of his surprise,
on rushing into the room, to find the
children comfortably slowed away in bed.
while his wife was busily engaged in piiing
on the combustible material. Finding
out the true state of affairs he stormed
and swors, but all to no purpose, his wife
coolly informed him that if his nocturnal
wanderings we're persisted in she would
get up something that would frighten him
more than this small display Of fireworks.
It is said that the gentleman is entirely
cured, and although it has been some time
since the experiment was tried, every even.
ing finds him at home at an early hour

For the Spirit of the Age.
Thoughts During a Snow Storm.

How beautifully the Snow falls, first slow
ly, in large fakes it gently comes, then thick
and fast, then driven by the winds, it whirls
and flies in all directions. How the little
ones eyes glisten as they watch the pure
white particles, '0h its a-snowing Now
for our sieds ard our rides" and away they
run. The school boys eyes gladden. too, as
he looks up from his book, and sees in the
falling flakes, a ready forgetfulness of his
hard lessons.
The bellies are glad too, for will not the
sleighs come with their warm buffalo robes
and tinkling bells ? Already she sees the ra-
cling and hears the music Of the bells, and the
merry shouts Of the winners. How Clio
Iious p she exclaims. Pm delighted with
the prospect Of a snow storm"
But are there not others who do not hail
it with delight? Are there no lone hearth
stones, no lonely hearts, who have not even
the common necessaries Of life to cheer them ?
What is their prospect? Alasl each falling
flake brings a tear, and each gust of wind a
SILVER. God pity and bless them. Oh | that
there were angels of comfort, who could find
each broken hearted and cherries one and
bring them comfort and ease.
How beautiful Earth looks covered With its
white mantle so white, so smooth, so peace
full. The trees with each branch and every
little twig covered till they look like crystals
and the bright sun causes them to sparkle
like diamonds. What q sweet soothing in
fuence it has upon our feelings No tur-
bulent thoughts come how could they,
where all is so white and still. But pleasant
ones come and linger till all our hearts beam
with the sunshine Of them.

ELIZABETH CRY, Feb. ssth, 1860.
DEAR sm:-Yours of the sard inst, informing me of
my nomination as a candidate for the office of Govern

The Platform of principles adopted by the Conven-
ton. meets nv appreciation. / am greatly pleased at
the almost complete unanimity which prevailed in
their adoption.
The section in reference to AID yALoREM taxation in
wolves q principle SO manifestly just and equal in its
operation. that il ought to be Incorporated into the
Constitution without the least possible delay. When
taxation was comparatively light, the uncertainty and
inequality of the present system was overlooked. But
il has now become a matter of Importance to the State
credit, as well as of justice to our citizens, that some
system should be adopted, combining certainty in rails
ing the requisite amount OF revenue, with perfect equal
ity to every section OF the state ana 10 every Class OF
the people.
III were disposed, 1 should not feel at liberty to de-
cline the nomination rendered me. The present dan
gerous condition of public affairs imposes upon every
Citizen the imperative duty of using his best %exertions
in any post assigned him, to effect a thorough and
speedy reformation. No pains shall be spared on my
part, and / invoke the aid of good and true men in all
parts of the State. to arrest the present corruption
