NIaxims for Married women.

The unmarried woman, says an ex-
change, who can read this without indig-
nation, ought to be married:
Let every wife be persuaded that there
are two ways of governing family. The
tirst is by the expression of that will
which belongs to force the second to
the power of mildness. to which every
strength will yield One is the power
Of husband wife should never en-
ploy any other arms than those of gem
tleness. When woman accustoms her.
self to say . will" she deserves to lose
her empire.
Avoid contradicting your husband.
When we smell rose it is to Undue tho
sweets of odor; we look for everyth ing
amicable in woman. Whoever is often
Icontradictcd feels insensibly an aversion
for the person who contradicts, which
gains strength by time, and whatever be
her good qualities, is not easily destroyed.
Occupy yourself only with household
affairs, wait till your husband confdes to
you those of hightr importance, and not
read lectures to him. Let your preach
ing be a good example, and practice yir-
tue yourself to make him love it.
Command his attention by being al
ways kind to him never exact anything,
and you will attain much; appear always
battered by the little he does for you,
which will excite him to do more.
All men are vain never wound his
mo- in ko AL =
stances. A wife may have more sense
than her husband, but she should never
seem to know it.
When man gives wrong counsel.
never feel that he has done so, but lead
him by degrees to what is rational, with
mildness and gentleness when he is.
convinced, leave him to the merit Of
having found out what is just and rea-
sonable
| When husband is out of temper, be-
have obligingly to him; if he is abusive.
never retort, and never prevail over him
to humble him.
Choose well your friends, have but
few, and be careful Of following their ad-
vice in all matters.
Cherish neatness without luxury, and
pleasure without excess dress with taste,
particularly with modesty; vary in tho
fashion of your dress, especially as re-
CARDS colors. 1t gives change to tho
ideas, and recalls pleasing recollections.
Such things may appear trifling. but they
have more Importance than is imagined.
Never be curious to pry into your hus-
bands concerns, but obtain his conf
dcnce. Away preserve economy, avoid
being out Of temper, and be careful nc,
yer to scold by this means he will 6nd
his house pleasanter than any other.
Seem always to obtain information from
him, especially before company, though
you may pass yourself for simpleton.
Never forget that wife owes all her
Importance to that Of her husband. Leave
him entirely master of his own actions,
TO make her company amiable to her hus-
band, that be will not be able to exist
without it, then be will not seek for
pleasure abroad if she does not partake OF
/ it with him.

closely by man, apparently bent under
70 years, and STOPPING SO constantly as
to seem almost to crouch as he walks.

goes into all possible places with his at

Jacob Astor. son Of the famed Aston.
whose name is identified with the Astor
library. lie was bright and promising
BOY, and till seventeen years Of age gave
promise Of much genius. Reports vary
as TO the cause Of his mental decline but
the best accounts attribute it to the
mental forcing system, and to the in
tense study that occupied his early years.
But true il is. that he has been for years
a hopeless imbecile, aud has been as
much more care than an infant as a
strong athletic person can be. Ample
provision has always been made for all
the comfort he is able 10 enjoy. An
elegant mansion on Fourteenth street is
his abode. 1t Is fitted up with elegance
and taste. A yard comprising an entire
square, secures all the privacy that is
needed. Room for walking, riding on
horseback, and for recreation is afforded.
Horses, carriages and servants wait on

care Of Mr.. Astor has long devoted him
self solely to him lie has such COM
mand over him that he can guide and
control him at will. which no one else
can do Ample compensation is given
To the attendant. He has the house aud
all the soryants--the equipage and eve
rything at bis command. Besides a
liberal provision for him in Mr. Astor's
will. he receives above tho house and

But be Is not alone an bour. Sleeping,
waking, walking, at home, abroad or

LIME POINT, AND THE ADVANTAGES THAT WILL
RESULT FROM ITS PURCHASE" Whatever may
be our estimate of the motives of Senator Gwin
for recommending it, the purchase of Lime Point
by the Government is measure of no little i'm
portance to California. Without fortitication on
the north side of the Bay, San Francisco harbor
and the Navy Yard at Mare Island, were at the
mercy of any hostile squadron that wlled an
entrance through the Golden Gate."-Napa Re
porter.
A great variety of views have been INDUCED
in by the press of this State, and more especially
Of the Bay city, in conneXion with the Lime Point
purchase-most of them condemnatory of the
measure, and of Senator Gwn, who has the credit
of being we'll paid for his maneuvering in the
matter. Leaving the old man out entirely, we,
like the Reporter, ~ see nothing but advantage in
the purchase" and when we look back and re-
member how foolishly Government and State
thousands and hundreds of thousands have in
many instances been expended without receiving
any equivalent. we are led to believe this pur-
chase Of Lime Point most eommendable one.
Six miles of Bay frontage will be acquired there
by, and when Lime Point is fortified as proposed
by Government, the harbor of San Francisco will
be one of the best fortified in the world impeF
vous to any fleet which might attempt entrance
through the Golden Gate. We believe Govern
meut never made q better bargain.

cold Aunt Hannah"
Let's wait a little longer, Tom !

Let's wait little longer, Tom!
Before we westward go;
Let's wait for old Aunt Hannahs sake,
'Twould break her heart, know,
Look at her in the corner there,
Her head is white as snow,
The last leaf of the good old tree
We cannot leave her so!
In this old mansion was she born,
Her joys and griefs were here:
How well she loved and nursed us all
Through many changing year
See how she's smiling at the fire
And whispering something low
She's thinking of our Christmas times
o, long and long ago!
Beside yon crumbing garden wall.
Our gallant father lies,
Our good old mother at his side
Aunt Hannah closed their eyes!
She was the playmate of them both,
Some fifty years ago
To leave those dear old graves behind
'Twould break her heart, l know.
When the old soldier parcclled out
His treasures, great and small,
Aunt Hannah he would give to none,
He gave her to us all.
We laid his good sword on his breast,
For he had charged us So
Whilst old Aunt Hannah knelt in tears
All! Tom! we cannot go!
Her failing sands will soon be out,
The kindly angel come,
And lead the good, old, faithfll soul
To our great Masters home,
And when we've marked her simple grave,
And dropped tear or so,
Well turn from the ashes Of the past,
And westward gaily go!
