Tell Your Wife.

If you are in any trouble Or quandary,
tell your wife-that is, if you have one-all
about it at once Ten to one her invention
will solve your difficulty sooner than all your
logic. The wit Of woman has been praised,
but her instincts are quicker and keener
than her reason Counsel with your wife,
or your mother. or sister, and be assured
that light will flash upon your darkness -
Women are too commonly adjudged as YER
dant in all but purely womansh affairs: -
No philosophical student of the sex thus
Judges them. Their intuitions. or insight,
are the most subtitle. and if they cannot see
a cat in the meal, there is no cat there. In
counsellng one to tell his troubles to his
wife, we would 60 further and advise him
to keep none of his affairs secret from her.
Many home has been happily saved, and
many fortune retrieved by mans full con-
fidence in his 'better-half" Woman is far
more a seer and prophet than man, if she
be given fair chance. AS general rule,
wives confde the minutest of their plans and
thoughts to their husbands, having no in
volvements to screen from him. Why not
reciprocatc, if but for the pleasure of meet
ing confidence with confidence We are
certain that no man succeeds SO well in the
world as he who, takes partner of all his
purposes and hopes. What is wrong of his
impulses or judgement, she will check and
set right with her almost universally right
instincts '.Help meet" was no Insignificant
title, as applied to mans companion. She
is meet help to him in every darkness,
difficulty and sorrow of life. And what she
most Graves and most deserves, is conf
dence-without which love is never free
from a shadow.
g~A distinguished counsel being EN-.
ployed for the defence on trial for murder
found it necessary, in the course of his
speech, to comment with some severity or
the testimony of witness for the prosecu
ton. In the midst of most searching anc
| logical sentence, wherein he was convincing
| the Jury that the witness had sworn to more
than the truth he was interrupted by ajury
man, tall, lank fellow evidently from tht
back woods, who, rising, thus addressed
him:

to 60 ontlRt way abusing me I won't stant
1t: I'll hreak nnthe sonreif You do dida'
come to be abusedp'
= my dear sir" replied the barrister, in
his politest manner, Il was alluding to the
witness, not to you; my remarks were not
intended to apply to any of the jurors"
"Well, then" said the juror, 'just quit
a pinting your finger at me when you talk
that way"

Mr.. Bentinck thought the noble lord had
not quite understood his question. The
noble lord said the results of the disturb
ances in America had been anticipated in
the financial arrangements. Did the noble
lord mean that arrangements had been made
to meet the expense of increased armaments
and the risk of diminished revenues, (hear,)
or did he simply mean that he did not anti
cipate that any such consequences would
result from the intelligence lately received?
(Hear, hear.)
Lord Palmerstcn-I thought had. by
implication at least, answered all the ques-
tions of the Hon gentleman. | do not per-
ceive any reason why we should apply to
Parliament for increased armaments (hear)
in consequence of the events which are TAX
ing place in North America, and also hope
that the Customs duties will not materially
suffer in consequence of those events.
In the Commons on the following day.
Mr. Walpole said he wished to put ques-
ton to the Government in reference to the
motion which appeared on the paper in the
name of the Hon. member for Liverpool
upon the unsatisfactory state of the subject
Of belligerent rights at sea. He understood
the noble Lord the Foreign Secretary to
state last night that the subject was already
under the consideration of Her Majesty's
Government and that they would officially
announce what their opinion was as soon as
that opinion was formed. In the present
very complicated state of affairs, he would
put it to his Hon friend the member for
Liverpool whether it would be of advantage,
either to his own constituents or to the pub
. lie interests generally. that such discus
sion should come on tonight. He wished
to know what the opinion of the Government
was upon the matter; and, if the noble Lord
, at the head Of the Government thought it
|. would be injurious to discuss the question
at present. he trusted his Hon. friend would
: withdraw the motion.
t Lord Palmerston--In reply to the ques-
ton of the right hon. gentleman, may say
that entirely concur with him in the view
: he has expressed of the inexpediency Of dis
: cussing tonight the question which the
e honorable member for Liverpool has intima-
ted his intention to bring forward. The
House will bear in mind the statement made

The Prospect Before Us.

The political weathercock, which had been,
for month past veering in every direction,
seems at length to have steadied itself 1t is
now Enthusiastically pointing in the direction Of
war "The old concern" at Washington is evil
IDENTIFY disposed to bring matters to a crisis
Great activity has prevailed, during the past
week, in the War and Navy Departments; ma
ny vessels, laden with troops and munitions Of
war, have left the Northern ports under sealed
orders; and we may expect to hear, before an
other week shall hare passed away, that the
deadly strife has begun. Such is the general
expectation Of cur people. War, however, has
no tcrrors for them. They do not desire war,
for itself; they are not disposed to bring on the
struggle; but they will not shrink from the
contest when their rights shall be invaded by
the foe. This county has already sent a hun
dred men to Pensacola Should their services
be needed, five hundred more will promptly go
forward TO meet the enemy. The same spirit
animates the bosoms of our people throughout
the State and throughout the entire Confederacy
In reply TO the charge that their ballots would
have been cast for Union" il the new Consti-
tuition had been submitted to their vote, the
people of the Confederate States will point to
their glittering bayonets, and bid the'would-be
tyrants at Washington to number them

BENEFIT OF ADVERTISING is often the
case that men come into our Office and ask for
the papers published in some particular place,
saying they would like to see somebody's adyer-
tsement. They sit down and look papers over,
and it is often the case that they are unable to
find the desired information. Not long since,
says Utica paper, gentleman was looking for
the names and address Of an Albany firm TO
which he desired to make consignment but
remark that he would ship to firm which did
advertise, although not liking their reputation
This is one of many instances, which proves
conclusivcly that business men should adver-
tise, if it is nothing more than their business
cards.

We beg to assure the Black Republican lead

An ERROR. argument is not unfequent-
ly used by young ladies nowadays, when adj
dressed by young gentlemen, that the present
precarious condition of State and national af
fairs should wholly preclude the idea Of mar
riage. Now this is certainly an error-than
which none is more grievous. II there ever
was a time in the history Of our nation when il
was peculiarly discreet and wise for young
lady to place herself under the protection Of a
faithful guardian, we think that time has arriv-
ed. When our government is trembling from
the effect of mighty political earthquake, and
even stout hearts quail, is 1t not meet that such
weak, frail beings as the gentler sex are should
seek SOME strong arm for support And then
the kind sympathes and tender care Of noble,
resolute, loving heart, OH are they not pleasant
even to contemplate
So discard, at once, young ladies', this argu-
ment founded deeply in error, and at as early
day as possible make suitable amends in the
premises, and set about repairing injuries and
healing wounds naturally incident to this unfor-
tunate mistake.-Panoia Star.
