Il GOOD RoUSEWIFE.

A good housewife is one of the first bless
ings in the economy of life. Men put a great
value upon the housewife qualifications of their
partners after marriage, however little they
may weigh with them 6efore; and there is
nothing which tends more to mar the felicities
of married life, than reckfessness or waFrt OF
knowledge in the new housekceper, or the du-
ties which belong to her station. We admire
beauty and order, and system, in everything
and we admire good fare. If these ares found
in their dwellings, and are seasoned with good
nature and good sense, mep will seek their
chief cnjoyments at home-they will love their
homes and their partners and strive to recip-
rocate the kind offices Of duty and Affection
Mothers that study the welfare Of their daugll-
tiers, will not fail to instruct thcn in the quail
fcations of married life aal daughters that
appreciate the value of these qualifications,
will not fail to acquire them.-Sefscted.

The Disunion States.

Little men, little dogs and little things gen
orally are the most noisy. This is the case
with South Carolina. Now the citizens of
that State are as good as tbe generality of
people; have equal rights with the others un-
der the Constitution, and all that sort of thing,
as far as they go; but they do not go far
enough, it strikes u.s. to justify them in threat
ening to break up this great confederation of
States with "a population of thirty millions of
people. The white population of South Car,
olina is but little, if any, greater than that of
this county. So far as numbers is concerned,
therefore, we are in this corner of Ohio, just
as powerful as the State of South Carolina,
and we have as much right to bark and threat
en- as the people of the Palmetto State but
we are more modest than they, and this saves
us from being laughed at. If the citizens
the fire-eaters at least, Of South Carolina,
could learn to be modest, their influence in
the Union would be much greater than it is,
for then they would cease to talk about
g shaking the confederacy to its centre"
The white population of the States claimed
by the Disunonists, according to the census of
1850 was as follows:

TIME TO PAY.

Reader, now is the time to pay your debts
Good resolutions are very good as far as they
go, but, in the opinion Of your creditors, they
don't pay either the butcher, the printer, the
doctor or the merchant. We beg of you,
therefore, to give your attention to the follow
ing 'spractieal remarks" They are not intend
ed, we will say privately, for either of your
neighbors, but especially for yourself.
The teachings of the Good Book is that
there is time and season for all things-a
time to plant and time to pluck up, time
to keep and a time to cast away, time to
weep and time to laugh, a time to mourn
and a time to dance,' (which time, it is sup
posed by " some commentators, arrived
when the Prince of Wales made his appear
ance recently at the Academy of Music,) and
time for sundry other good and important
things, which for want of space We cannot here
specify.
Now it is well known that during the past
few years there has been good time for run
ming into debt, and the present moment by
most people, at the North especially, where
the crops have been good, is regarded as
first rate time to "pay up" Those who don't
pay now will be set down as "used up" "gone
by the board" ''fzzled out" Never mind
how much you are rep,ded to be worth, or how
you stand on the assessors book. Ifyou don't
go into liquidation now-don't soon cali on
every creditor and settle, your reputation
won't be worth a brass farthing. Your time,
| therefore, has at length come. You can't
postpone it on account of poor crops, neither
can you complain of prices. No, sir, your
hn M
Indeed, all your old, stereotyped, whining, ex-
cuses are now ,racurrent. They won't pass
anywhere. And in regard to the long face
| you have worn during the whole time you have
| been running into debt, we will say plainly
that such dodge won't go down now at all.
Please dispense with any such demonstration,
therefore, short meter you will be called a
| lunatic. Smile once, just for the novelty oft,
and if 10 fatal consequences follow, then
"blossom ALL over" A capital start that will
| be. t.
Now, lest we should be misunderstood, we
| will "take aim," and ''fire" directly ut the
mark. In paying up, therefore, please

eoDs prscrpL1rE WITH MEN.

In time of war, when men left their dwell
lings, there lay, unused in an old mansion. a
stately Instrument of music-a piano. The
DUST covered it, and little by little the weather
contracted and expanded it till the wood had
cracked. The different strings of the instru-
menf were out of tune with each other SO
that no one of them was right. By-aBd-by
peace was declared, and the long exiled owner
returned to his house. On coming home, look
ing about him and seeing everything out Of
order, he cieansed the kitchen, cleansed the
perlor, cleaased the various rooms through the
house, and at last he says, "I will have this
instrument put in ORDER" He sends for a tu-
ner, who comes and looks at it and says f" A
noble instrument, indeed by one of the best
makers N. He opens the lid; and the dust
flies up in clouds. Sadly neglected-but a
noble instrument |" He looks through it,
runs through the scale, and begins to dust, to
cleanse, and to tune it. Taking first the cen
trail note, oh, now wretchedly that is out of
tune But he takes his tuning fork, and
bsings up the note to its right place. Then
he brings up the next string, and then the
next, and the next and so he goes all through
flats and sharps and all-from top to bot
tom, bringing every note up to its proper pitch.
During the time that be is correcting it, no.
body wants to stay in the room; bat by-and-
by, when he hes set it all right, he sits down
and tries it and as he begins to play the first
full chord is grand! Then as he takes one of
Beethoven's harmonies and begins to play, the
servants run up the children stop in the
midst of their sport to hear; everybody stops
to listen, or comes to the door! the people
that went out of the room come back and
ask, What magnificent instrument is that -
All, it is that wailing instrument that drove
you out That is what it is, now chorded =
And if it were Beethoven himself who sat at
it to play out the swelling thoughts of his own
soul, how majestic wouId those melodies have
been, and how magnificent as an army with
banners would have been the march Of all
those accorlant harmones Oh, you are in
struments of music now neglected, sadly un-
strung and discordanti God has already ta-
ken hold Of you, and brouga some of the
principal strings mp to concert pitch, and be
is bringing one otter another to that. By-and-
by when men say your heart-strisgs are bro
ken, God will say, No it is nothing but the
first touch in chording." And then, when
every faculty shall have been attuned, God
shall bring joys like music unto your soul,
such as You never thrilled to before! Do not
be impatient of it! Have patience with God
while he is tuning you! By-and-by, when
the work is done, you shall thank God for ever
and forever, that he is willing to take such
shattered, wretched instrument to bring it into
tune, and to let its notes mingle with the har-
monies of the eternal world III. w. BEECH

The Boston Bee says:
1t is reported that seventeen Southern Law
students have terminated their career in the
Cambridge Law School on account of tho
election of Lincoln, and gone South TO aid in
the organization of Gov. Wise's revolutionary
army. The alleged cause Of this exodus is the
fact that one of the professors has "comprom-
iscd The neutrality of his position" by voting
at the late election, the whole Republican
ticket, with slip from an Alabuma Ae~spa-
per attached containing programme of the
proposed secession of that State in case oi

were being made to that end in the way oil
