Now, ere England and France to pay for both
in gold, SOY $3.50, ,OO0,OO0 They cannot do IT,
A drain of that magnitude would make all Eu-
rope bankrupt. Then, the Rebel Government
takes pay III trade, CLOTH iron, silks and gim-
cracks, and distributes them among the people.
Innumerable agents must be employed to accom-
plish oil this. What gigantic peddling business
would thus be the result of Rebellion! What
golden opportunities for plunder 1t would afford
How the old Treasury thieves, Thompson, Cobb,
and Floyd would flock Ike carriOn birds round
tie newt, scented carcass The world he's never
beheld carnival Of stealing such as this would
be. Little indeed would be permitted to reach
the hands of the rebellous masses.
These are some Of the difficulties already rec
ognzed by the Rebel organs as surrounding their
position. As they have been self-imposed, so let
them be self-adlusted. We present the facts as
we find them, having no ColutiOn to suggest but
that of absolute submission to the Union. But
il is clear that these embarassments are the mere
forerunners of others even greater, and quite as
inevitable. They are such as reach down to and
uproot the very foundations Of civilized society.
The South at this moment feels them with grlnd-
ing severity for there the treasennble storm is
pouring out its fercest energy. The North suffers
from its ravages, but il is more from sympathy.
The commercial pulse Of Europe beats with
kindred quickness from the same exciting cause
as the season advances, the complications TO be
felt by the South in relation to their stnple exports
must continue TO increase Up to this time, they
have been calling on tie European Hercules for
help to escape from the ditch into which they have
voluntarily plunged. But he stands aghast at their
ruilianism, and despises their impotency. If he
condescends to interfere at oil it will be TO aid in
crushing them. So long as this idle hope Of foreign
help exists, SO long viii they endeavor to be defiant.
That gone, and the end cannot be very remote.
All present indications point to European depend
ence on other cotton fields than theirs, and not
70 violent interference with US.

"And, indeed" continued the narrator,

enough of the true state of the affair to

ENEReY.-S great is the effect of mere
energy as the predominating quality in
character, that Indifferent plans pressed
with resolute vigor often reach trium-
phant success; while for superior designs,
if carried out in common spirit, fall al
together or far short of the expectations
formed of them. In common life, though
determined pushing often succeeds, it
sometimes fails from the distate it causes.
In GREAT affairs, where it is not favor, but
apprehension or contest that induces sue
cess, the energy which threatens or forces
mostly gets the best Of the business. The
present time furnishes remarkable in
stance of this; for, except the battles OF
the Italian campaigns, the successes Of
Louis Napoleon have been chiefly gained
by determination to attain them. A
still more remarkable instance is that Of
Garibaldi, whose wonderful energy has
lust effected results unparalleled in histo-
ry; for though revolutions as startling
may have taken place, the means have
been obvious, and success less entirely
owing to a single man. Energy indeed
is not the only quality of this wonderful
hero for all his qualities are wonderful
especially his simple magnanimity and
childlike faith But it is energy, and the
gift of infusing energy into others, that
most conduces to Garibaldi's success.

ingly.
But the ambitious bride still failed to
induce her husband to settle his estate up,
on her; and hoping that she might, by
coercion, compel him to do So.
At this juncture she applied for d.
vorce, having been. told by a legal adviser
that she could by that proceeding at once
come in possession of one third Of theses-
tate, without waiting for the old mans
death; and as that portion was sufficient
to render her afiluent she unhesitatingly
made the application The court, howey-
er, onlearning the facts, granted her moth.
ing but life annuity of $500 and the bill
of separation, thereby apparently defeat,
ing her aspirations forever. But she was
not thus to be thwarted, but Immediately
offered to be reconciled to her former
husband, and once more united to him.
She was however, too late. His reason
had left him, and he was taken to the lu-
natic asylum, near Cincinnati, where he
remained until last week, when hemade
application to the probate court for a writ
of habeas corpus, and, in accordance with
it, he was brought out, with view of try
ing the question of his sanity.
When taken into court, he declared his
willingness to be remarked to his faithless
spouse, and even manifested some anxiety
on the subject but the alterations Of his
mind were too apparent to admit Of his
discharge, and he was remanded to Long
view, where he still remains. What course
our heroine will next pursue, we have no
means ofjudging; but the probability is,
that.she will not relinquish her exertions
while any hope of success, however dis
tant, remains.

ag- Mrs. Partington says, When she
was gal she used to go to parties, and
always had beau to extort her home.
But now," says she, "the gals undergo
all sorts of declivities; the task of extort-

lived in other days, when men could de-
preciate the worth of the female sex.

How Some People Marry.

A young man meets pretty face in
the ballroom, falls in love with it, courts
it, marries it, goes to housekeeping with
it, and boasts of having home and wife
to grace it. The chances are nine to one
he has neither Her pretty face gets to
be an old story, or becomes faded, or
freckled, or frettcd, and as the face was
all he wanted, all he paid attention to,
and all he sat up with, all he bargained
for, all he swore to love, honor and pro-
tect, he gets sick of his trade, knows Il
a dozen faces which he likes better, gives
up staying at home of evenings, consoles
himself with segars, oysters, and politics,
and looks upon his home as very indif-
ferent clearinghouse. A family of chill
drcn grow up about him but neither r-Ae
nor his face" know any thing about
training them, so they come up hclter-
slkcltcr; made toys of when babies dolls
when boys and girls, drudgcs when young
men and women and so passes year af
ter year, and not one quiet, happy, home
" hour is known throughout the entire
household.
Another young man becomes enamored
of q 'lortune." He waits upon it to par
ties, dances the polka with it, exchanges
billet dOnr with it, pops the question to it,
gets Eyes" from it, takes it to the par
sons, weds it, calls it "wfe," carries it
home, sets up an establishment with it;
introduces it to his friends, and says
poor fellow y that he too is married, and
has GOT home It's false. He is not
married. and has 10 home; and he soon
finds it out He is in the wrong box, but
it is too late to get out Of it. He might
as well hope to escape from his coffin.
Friends congratulate him, and he has to
grin and bear it. They praise the house,
the furniture. the cradle. the new Bible,
the new baby, and then bid the fortune
and he who husbands it good morning
AS if he had known good morning since
he and that gilded fortune were falsely
declared to be one !.
Take another case. A young lady is
smtten with pair of whiskers. Curled
hair never before had such charms. She
sets her cap for them; they take. The
delighted whisl1ers make an offer, proffer-
ing themselves both in exchange for one
heart. The dear miss is overcome with
magnanimity, closes the bargain, carries
home the prize, shows it to pa and ma,
calls herself engaged to it, thinks there
never was such pair of whiskers before,
and il few weeks they are married.
Married yes, the world calls it so, and
we will. What is the result? A short
honeymoon, and then they unluckily dis
cover that they are as unlike as chalk
and cheese, and not to be made one,
though all the priests in Christendom pro-
nouncc it so.
