Mr.. WILSON'S resolution, introduced in
the United States Senate on Tuesday, is the
first step towards putting President Buchan-
an directly on trial before the people, ac-
nounced. 1t is proposed to divide up this
business in the House, between three or four
official committees. Developments of a
character ruinous to the Democratic party
may be anticipated, probably resulting in
the Presidents impeachment.

ST. VALENTINES DAY is coming. 1t will
arrive on the 18th. There will be demand
on the part of the boys and girls for " ten
der missives," done up in embossed and
perforated paper, with colored designs, mu-
sical rhymes, set off with ribbOns-and all
that sort of thing. Some of the roguish
folks, both male and female, will want comic
valentines, to "plague" their victims.
We suppose our stationery and book men
are supplying themselves with Valentines.
If not, it is time for them to do so.

EDITORS OF JoURNAL.-Last Fall the
stockholders determined to remove their
Fair Grounds. The cost of this removal
was considerable, and to place the officers in
funds, subscription was started which was
readily signed by individuals in this city
who were considered prompt men. Again,
in the Fall of 1858, gentlemen subscribed
stock to build an amphitheater, one-half of
which they paid. This shows well for the
interest our citizens take in any move that
is calculated to foster our industrial inter
ests; but let me tell these subscribers that
their subscription will not liquidate the
debts due for improvements made on our
Fair Grounds. The printer, carpenter,
lumber merchant, laborer, who have fur
want their money. 1t is justly due them,
and as justly due from those who subscribed.
Will all who know themselves to be in
debted to the Fair Ground Association,
come forward at once; or shall go to the
Secretary and obtain a list of their names,
so that those who subscribed may know
who they are and how much they owe?
know that the officers have been an
noyed very much by the constant duns of
the creditors of the Association. Sub
scribers, walk up, and let the Association
be freed from debt.

D6S@ Lorenzo Delmonico, the celebrated
New York restaurant proprietor, has failed,
and made an assignment. His financial
downfall resulted from engaging in coal
oil speculation-connecting himself with a
company in the manufacture of that article.
He was, it seems, the most responsible man
of the company, and had to bear the brunt
of the losses, when the Indebtedness had to
be paid and the slowness of sales failed to
meet the drafts on the treasury.

return for useful industry. Alas for my
friend !! He had no taste for books, no
love of art, no fondncss for country life,
or pleasant gardening. His mind had
been educated on = in one direction. He
was a man of business, aud that alone.
And so, he had nothing to do but to sit
down and enjoy himself How impossi-
bic that was, he discovered iu less than
a month. During the fist and second
seasons he tried Cape May, Saratoga,
Newport, and a trip down the Lakes ana
at the St. Lawrence. But he did not
really enjoy himself, How could he !?
There Is no enjoyment for man living
without purpose. Mere killing time is
only Il slow, soul, killing operation, and is
always accompanied by pain.
Ten years ago it was when my friend
Iretlred from business, to enjoy his for
tune. His cup of blessing was full, and
he has been holding it to his lips ever
since, trying to find sweetness in the
draught; but, Judging from the expires
sion OF his face, the tone of his voice, and
the character of his remarks, | think the
wine in his cup must be dashed with uu,
usual bitterness. His blessing has be-
come a curse.
Another received a moderate fortune
from a distant relative. He happened to
be heir-at-i law, and the relative dying with
out Will, he came most unexpectedly in
to possession of about thirty five thousand
dollars in cash. He was a clerk, with a
salary of one thousand dollars year, liv-
ing frugally with his wife and two chill
dren in a small rented house. Few men
enjoyed life with keener zest than this
young man. But the fortune proved his
ruin. The clerkship WAS at once given
up for business venture the hired house
for handsome purchased dwelling; onl-
! nibus rides for drives in an elegant car
riege; social lea companies for elegant
parties His course was brilliant but
brief The blessing was made curse.

den fall from the height up to which he
had scared, away down into the valley
Of sbject poverty, he lost selt-respect and

Love "a Wife and Care for a

must be constituted very differently from
men. 4 word said, line written, and
we are happy; omitted, our hearts ache,
as if for great misfortune. Men cannot
feel it, or guess at it; if they did, the
most careless of them would be slow to

The grave hides many heart which
has been stung to death, because one
who might, after all have loved it after
a certain careless fashion, was deaf, dumb
and blind to the truth in the sentence we
have Just quoted, or, if not, was at least
rcstive and impatient with regard to it.

You are one. Yod have no right to re-
quire of woman her health, strength,
time and devotion, to mock her with this
shadowy unsatisfying return. A new
bonnet, a dress, q shawl, watch, any
thing, everything but what a true wo-
mans heart must crave, sympathy, appre-
citation, love. She may be rich ig every
thing else, but. if she is poor in these, and
is q good woman, she had better die. :
