Women and Adversity,

Women should be more trusted and
con6ded in as wives, mothers and sisters.
They have quick perception of right
and wrong, and without always Knowing
why, read the present and future, read
characteristics and acts, designs and pro-
liabilities, where man sees no letter or
sign. What else do we mean by the
adage "mother w.t." save that woman
has quicker perception and reader in
vention than man ? How often when
man abandons the helm in despair, wo-
man seizes it and carries the home ship
through the storm? Man often flies from
home and family TO avoid impending
poverty or ruin. Woman seldom if ever
forsook home thus. Woman never evad-
ed mere temporal calamity by suicide or
desertion. The proud banker rather,
than to live to see his poverty gazetted,
may blow out his brains aud leave wife
and children to want. rrotectorless. Low
ing woman would have counselled him
to accept poverty, and live to cherish his
family and retrieve his fortune. Woman
should be counselled and confded in. 1t
is the beauty and glory Of her nature that
it instinc;ively grasps at and clings to the
truth and right. Reason, mans greatest
faculty, takes time to hesitate before it
decides; but woman's instinct never hes
itates in its decision, and it is scarcely
ever wrong where it has even chances
with reason. Woman feels where man
thinks. acts where he deIiberates, hopes,
where he despairs and triumphs where
he fails.

ATLANTIC SOUNDINGS.

Soundings in the Atlantic have reveal
ed the fact that at least two hundred
and thirty miles from the coas: of Ire
land the water is still shallow, or, in 9TH
er words, that there is another Ireland
only waiting to be raised, thus reversing
the famous panacea for keeping the coun-
try quiet. 1t is just beyond this that the
true Atlantic begins. the gulf suddenly
sinking to nine thousand feet. Thus,
Ireland may one day have coast line
as high as the Alps. The whole floor Of
the Atlantic is paved with soft sticky
substance, call d oaze, nine-tentts con-
sisting of very minute animals, many CT
them mere Jumps of jelly, and thousands
Of which could float with ease on drop Of
water; some resembling toothed Wheels;
others bundles of spines, or threads shoo-
ting from a g'obule. Some, however,
are endowed with the property OF sepa-
rating flint from the sea water-which is
more than every chemist could do; and
there are hundreds of square miles COW
cred with the skeletons Of these little
creatures. Part of this oaze is doubt
less from the clouds OF rain dust which
rise from the vast steppes of South A
merica in such masses as to darken the
sun, and make the animals fly to shelter,
and which, after sweeping like simeon
over the country, lose themselves IN the
''steep Atlantic No bones have been
found of the larger animals, SO that the
kraken and sea-serpent might sleep their
last sleep. and leave not a bone or verte
bra to tell the tale. Not mast or an
chor, not block or strand, not coin or
keepsake has been found to testify of
the countless gallant ships and more gala
liant men who have gone down amid the
pltlleSS waves. .-- 81 ts- -.

OLD HOMESTEADS.
Et.f N as - .l t..4a
BY A. ELIZABETH RICHMOND.


'Mong the clusters of the ivy, 'e eE7
Mong the old oaks on the hill, i1He
Where the heath flower and the holly, 80
In the May days blossom still; 5@s3f
Where the primrose loved to nestle, n2.
Where the white buds decked the thorn
Stood the old homes of our fathers,
Through the sunshine and the storm.
The raven claimed the roof-tree,
The woodbine twined the porch,
And swallows twittered meath the caves,
All through the stormy March;
The moss upon the door-stone crept.
And grass in garden ways, s..
And thick as pebbles round about
Lay tales of other days.
Even the lock that chattered round
The chimneys high and old,
Unto the strangers ear it seemed
Ancestral legen6s told,
Ut those who meath the churchyard mounds
Not far away were laid,
where the cuckoo came and built her nest,
And the sunny children played;
NAS S'siS III AOuS lOCheu nail Or tower:
Lay relics of the dead.
A champions S sword, lady's robe,
Or coat of mail instead.
But where the maple shadows fall
Upon the wanderers cot
Amid the prairie's waving grain,
Or in the woodland plot,
No bird of passage dales to build
Unto herself a home,
Or scarce the elinging vine to climb,
Above the threshold stone.
No wayward rose or timid bell,
High DER the easement creeps,
Or even nestles down to rest
Where the dead baby sleeps.
Because the proud sun of the west,
Each evening ere he sets,
Comes pratng of some golden strand,
No sails hath furled yet
And every little star that winks
Up in the quiet blue,
FONTS to some peak or ocean isle,
Where pearls like sea shells grew;
And SO the hearth lights are put out
From the lonely cot at even,
And the home " here joyous children play'd
othe strangers hand are given.
And the wee green graves are left unkept,
Through storm and winters snow,
Until the strangers heeuless plow.
Shall sweep across them too;
And out amid some barren plain,
Or meath the hungry waves,
They sleep whose hands sho'ld light the heartl
And trim the little graves.

A Gloomy Time in Charieston-..Anef-
47f chy Impending.

A Charleston correspondents Of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, writing on the 3lst
ult., saws the effect of the madness of
Secession is fearfully apparent in the for
uer city. Trade is almost entirely stop
ped, and money scarce enough to alarm
the most sanguine. The market is badly
provided, and already serious fears are
entertained as to the possibility OF fam
inc. Some grumb bling has already been
heard from those who have the hard
work, and more still from those taxed TOR
the expense Of the political game. The
upper class are so digni6ed and secret.
that it is only on an occasion like the pre-
sent, that one discovers that they ever feel
the money pressure. No city in the world
has SO much Of what may be called de-
cayed gentiiity. or SO many people with
aspirations thousands of times in excess
Of their means The history OF this hy-
brid upper tendon. with its horror of
trade, is pi,iAble story to those used to
the intelligent industry Of the North
There is class in the city who believe that
he world is waiting breathlessly to kno"
their thoughts and deeds.
The most seriously compromised parties
here are the merchants, and those whose
relations are with places and persons out
,ide. They see only bankruptcy and
ruin before them; and it will require more
than Southern oratory to put their ba,an-
ces on the credit side for them. They,
and all who now snffer, must be prepared
TO discover that TO crazed and selfish poll
tcians, struggling for the votes OF the
poorer white population is attributable
the whole evil. Blindly rushing into
contest ruinous from the first, they have
by fattery and cajolery, raised the Wild
est excitement, and now furious and
mad dened rob will be their ruin. The
horrors of the first French revolution Will
be enacted in this city, if once the spark
is lighted which leads to bloodshed.--
Then will these fanatic. leaders be
swamped in the rush and carnage, and
fall on the swords they have placed in
such dangerous hands. The worst anti
icipations are felt as to the conduct Of the
servile population. should the rigor Of
their treatment be relaxed. This evil
has already begun in the forced idleness

not find employment for them; for it

phatically SO to the ignorant slave. @ys

a greater cost in money than the whole

eighty foul years we have not only chang.

The Constitution of Republic-Histo
rical.

From the New Ham pshire Statesman.
In this paper is printed an old docu-
ment, the original of which csr be found
in the archives Of the New Hampshire
Historical Society, and perhaps elsewhere,
1t is the Constitution of the United
States of America, a Republic of the thr-
ty-three confederated States which exis.
ted on this continent prior to De-
cember 20, 1860. It is political paper
which seems to have been in it's dav
auch talked about, yet poorly under
stood. 1t was adopted in 1888, and is
supposed by some to have been abroga~
ted, as far as it related to one State at
least. by the withdrawal of South Caro-
lima from the Confederation, at the date
first mentioned above. The Inhabitants
of that State We're chiefly negroes and
Democrats. This withdrawal occasioned
similar degree of excitement in this re-
gion to that which followed the division
of the town of Boscawen, which occur
red some months earlier.
The President of the Republic was at
that time an aged gentleman, named Blu.
chanan, who had become distinguished
as writer for the New York Ledger, and
the inventor of pulmonary balsam.-
He was man of rare energy much
tirmness of purpose, and moved by sen
timents of the loftiest patriotism. He
was the idol OF the Democratic party,
which elected him, and always occupied
the chief place in the regard Of that bar
monious and innocent organization. His
death is thought to have been occasion
ed by chargin at the use made of money
by some persons, calling themselves Re
publicans, tc carry county election in
Pennsylvania. This was a thing un.
heard Of; the Democrats having invaria.
bly, adopted fer that purpose old Monon-
gahela whiskey. 1t is said he left no de-
scendant to mourn his loss or emulate bis
example.
He was succeeded by man called
Lincoln; person of no great reputation.
He had been a fat-bout man and the
keeper of small grocery. In the latter
capacity he acquired some knowledge of
money accounts. and after his election
some irregularities were detected in Mr..
Buchaaan's Cabinet advisers and officials,
amounting to trif1e of some millions of
dollars.
In view Of the character Of this Lin
coin, Mr.. Cobb, Of Georgia, who had al
ways been firmly attached to the Union.
and who, during the four years he had
charge of the finances, invested its large
surplus with scrupulous care, withdrew
from the Government, and instigated the
treason in South Carolina, before men,
toned. He was. like Mr.. Buchanan, a
story writer for the New York Ledger,
Nothing further is known of him.
The people OF New Hampshire should
read the Constitution of this Republic
If they are violating any compact. they
are willing to make suitable redress
They ask nothing but what is just;
they will submit to nothing that is at all
wrong.
