Influence of Marriage.

Habit and long life together are more
necessary to happiness, and even to love,
than is generally imagined. No one IS
happy with the1object of his attachment,
until he has passed days, and, above all,
many days of misfortune with her. The
married pair must know each other to the
centre of their souls--the mysterious veil
which covered the two spOuses in the pri-
mitiye church, must be raised in its in
most folds, how closely soever it may be
kept drawn to the rest of the world
What on account of a fit of caprice, or
burst of passion, am | to be exposed to
the fear of losing my wife and my child
rem, and to renounce the hope of passing
my declining DAYS with them? Let no
one imagine that fear will make me be-
come a better husband. No; we do not
attach ourselves to a possession which we
are in danger of losing-the soul of a
man, as well as his body, is incomplete
without his wife; he has strength, she has
beauty; he combats the enemy and labors
in the field. but he understand nothing of
domestic life; his companion is waiting to
prepare his repast and sweaten his exist
ence. He has crosses, and the partner of
his life IS there to soften them; his days
may be sad and troubled, but in the chaste
arms of his wife he finds comfort and re-
pose. Without woman. man would be
rude, gross, solitary Woman spreads
around him the flower of existence as the
creepers of the forest. which decorate the
trunks of sturdy oaks with their perfum
ed garlands Finally the Christian pair
live and die united; together they reap
the fruits of their union; in the dust they
lie side by side; and they are united be-

A Truthful Passage.

We copy the following beautiful pas
sage from the speech delivertd d by Hon.
Charles Gibbons, at the National Union
meeting held in Philadelphia, the even
ing OF the 9th. -,l .... .
This is war on our part for the poor
man. Because it is war for the mainte-
nance of the only government on earth
that freely opens 10 him and his children
the way to prosperity and honorable dis
tinction. The school house is free. Con-
science is free. Every business avenue is
free. He finds no gates to exclude him
from any of the high roads to fortune or
fame. The doors of every profession
open at his summons, and his children
are welcome at every portal. No privi-
lege is denied him that is accorded to the
rich, no restraint is. imposed upon him
from which Others are exempt. 1t is here,
under the protection of a government
now beset by armies in the South and ar
mics in the North, who try to conceal
their hostility under the broad mantle of
Democracy, that every poor man may
raise if he will, to the full stature of his
manhood, and, Il man among men, a SOW
ereign among sovereigns, breathing the
invigorating air of liberty, may lead his
children forth, free as the Hedged eaglets
of the mountains, to try the strength of
their pinions, upward and still upward in
the pure atmosphere of Republic. The
career of President Lincoln illustrates
the argument Beginning life as poor
and friendless boy-as poor and friend
less as the ragged little boy that stands
before me; in early manhood a laborer
in the fields by day, and student at
night by the dim light of tallow candle
then the respected member of an honor
able profession next faithful Represen-
tative in Congress, and now in the highest
station on earth--the President of the
United States of America.
If the poor man would find a better
friend than such government as this,
am sure he must seek him in another and
higher sphere than any within the domin-
ions of mankind. And if he would find
a worse enemy than the party demagogue
who seeks to divert him from his loyalty
by stirring up evil passions and criminal
prejudio e /, against the friends of univers-
al liberty, who freely offer their property
and lives for the defence of the govern
ment, he must seek him, not on earth but
in the lowest depths of hell. He must
drag up from the bottom of the burning
lake him who first made

Be Patient with the Little Ones.

Be patient with the little ones. Let
neither their slow understanding nor oc-
casional pertness offend you to provoke
the sharp reproof. Remember the world
is new to them, and they have no slight
task to grasp with their unripened intel
lect the mass of facts and truths that
crowd upon their attention. You are
grown to maturity and strength, through
wears ofssexperience; and it i'll becomes you
10 fret at child who fails to keep pace
with your thought. Teach him patiently
as God teaches you, slime upon line, pre-
cept, upon precept here little and there a
little" Cheer him on in his conflict of
mind, in after years his ripe rich thought
shall rise and call you blessed.
Bide patiently the endless questionings
of your children. Do not roughly crush
the rising spirit of free inquiry with an
impatient word or frown, nor attempt on
the contrary, long instructive reply to
every casual question. Seek rather to
deepen their curiosity. Convert if posi-
BILE, the careless question into profound
and earnest inquiry, Let your reply send
the little questioner forth, not so much
proud Of what he has learned, as anxious
to know more. Happy, though, it, in Civ
ing your child the molehill of truth he
asks for, you can whet his curiosity with a
glimpse of the mountain of truth lying
beyond; so wilt thou send forth philoso-
pher, and not a silly pedant into the
world. ,
Bear patiently the childish humors OF
those little ones. They are but the untu-
tored pleadings of the young spirit for
cultivation. Irritated into strength, and
hardened into habits. they will haunt the
whole of life like fiends of despair, and
make thy little ones curse the day they
were born but corrected kindly and pat
iently, they become elements of happi-
ness and usefulness. Passions are but
fires, that they may either seorch Us with
their uncontrolled fury, or may yield us
genial and needful warmth. @

A Bad Prospect for the Lovers Of
Oysters.
The Baltimore Sun says:

The Baltimore Sun says:
''The oyster trade of this city, hereto
fore one of the principal trades of the
city, has received a serious check, and
there Is now every probability that it will
not reach to more than fifty per cent. of
the usual amount. Those engaged in the
trade have held several meetings with
view to remedy the deficiency as far as
possible, but thus far there appears no
probability that the difficulty viii be over
come. In the first place, the principal
oyster fields of Virginia are still closed,
and those Of Maryland were so complete
ly dredged last year that they cannot at
ford half supply,
Another difficulty would be if plenty
of oysters were in the field. there are not
vessels to bring them TO the city. 1t Is
estimated that fully five hundred vessels
engaged in the trade have been destroy
ed, or seized and confiscated since the
war began, besides which nearly sll the
small-bOats. usually employed in catch
ing oysters, have disappeared from the
shores, and those formerly employed in
raking the oysters from the water have
sought other employment. The result OF
all these embarrassments Is that oysters
ara much higher than for many years.
and the supply is far short of the demand.
Thus most important branch OF busi-
ness has been partially prostrated, and
the entire West, the largest customers of
Baltimore, cannot be fully supplied, even
at the advance prices which will natural
ly follow so many embarrassments.

"Quite strange affair occurred in

The Bottom of the Ocean.

Soundings in the Atlantic have reveal
ed the fact that at least two hundred and
thirty miles from the coast of ireland, the
water is shallow or, in other words, that
there is another Ireland only waiting to
be raised-thus reversing the famous pa
nacea for keeping the country quiet. 1t
is Just beyond this the true Atlantic be-
gins, 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 called oazo,
nine tenths consisting of very minute an
imals, many of them mere Jumps of jelly
and thousands of them could float with
ease in a drop of water; some resembling
toothed wheel, others bundles of spines
or threads shooting from little globule.
Some, however, are endowed with the
property of separating flint from the sea
water-which is more than every chemist
can do; and there are hundreds ofsquare
miles covered with the skeletons of those
little creatures. Part of this oazo is
doubtless from the clouds of rain dust
which arise from the vast steppes of
South America, in such masses as to
darken the sun, and make animals fly to
shelter. and which, after sweeping like
simeon oyer 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 bone OF q
vertebra to tell the tale.

The School of LisappOlntment.

Blessed be disappointment said We
to ourselves one evening, as we sat at the
table of distinguished civilian. Hewas
one of the honored of the land. A good
ly group of ''olive branches" were gath
cred around him. The sweet-vOiced wife
at the head of the table had, in her early
days, been affanced to youth of great
wealth and promise, but, on the appoint
ed day of their marriage, he disappeared
under circumstances OF baseness. What
a disappointment to expectant friends and
ambitious kins-folki But the true-heaFt-
ed girl swallowed her tears of mortifica-
ton, and in fitting time gave her hand to
a wOrthier man, and in an humber posi-
ton in life She lived to see her rene
gade lover reel into the grave of the prof
ligate. How little did she know what an
escape Tod had opened to her through
the dark door of disappointment?
We might multiply instances Of like
characte, from daily observation. A man
hurries breathless to the wharf in order
to reach departing steamer. He is a
few minutes too late The plank is
drawn; and as he watches the stately yes
sci plough her way off through the blue
wuter, she seems to be ploughing through
his very heart. - How provoking" he
exclaimes to the halfsmilling, half pity
ing bystanders. He goes home sulky; he
he retires sulky to his bed, and wakes up
to read in the morning paper that "a few
hours after leaving port, that steamer took
fire, and when last seen was floating on
the water a flaming wreck" He fancies
himself clinging in despair to sinking
billet of wood, and his very blood runs
cold when he thinks how near he came
to being on board that death-freighted
vessel. And yet the very next time that
man is thrown out by Providence, in some
favorite plan, he is slow to apply the les
son of the past, and to thank his heaven
ly Father for disappointment
L do not pretend to be a very apt learn
er; but many of my best lessons through
life have been taught me by the same
stern old schoolmaster dsappOlliB'e1t.-
And one lesson | learned was, that this
,cOrLR ,cas not only made for me. If it had
been, the sun would have shown just
when my hay needed it, and the rain
would have fallen only when my garden
needed to be watered. But God goes on,
and orders things as pleaseth him best,
without consulting us. And when our
schemes were thwarted, the stern school
master said, The world was not made for
you alone, Don't be selfish. Your loss,
perhaps, is another's gain. The rain that
spoils your new-mown hay, makes the
blade of corn to grow faster in your neigh
boris field The fall in grain that cuts
down your rrofts will help the poor wild
ow in yonder cottage to buy bread cheap
er for her orphan babes. SO don't be
selfish ]"

A Shareholders View of Emanoipa'
ton IN Missouri.
From the St. Louis Demoetat.

From the St. Louis Demoetat.
The remarkable character of the follow
ing letter will justify US in giving it to the
public against the wishes of its author.
1t is one of a class which we are now fire.
uuently receiving from the interior of this
State. 1t is a most important indication
of the sentiment which is taking deep
root in the minds of the Shareholders.
They not only see the necessity of eman-
oipatiop in Missouri, but they recognize
the great Importance of an immediate
and through movement on the part of
those who desire to see this free State.
We omit the residence and name of
the writer of the letter. 1t comes, how
ever. from one of the principal slavehold-
ing counties in Western Missouri:
- 500 NOVEMBER l3, 1862.
Editors Missouri Democrat ar
ticle on emancipation, in the Democrat of
the 10th, contains the true doctrine. The
people at the recent election declared for
emancipation, but not by the majority
that would now be given for that meas
ure. In many counties there were no
Emancipation candidates, while many
men from timidity, and others from habit,
voted the anti Emancipation ticket
Many who, before the election, were 81
lent or hostile, now favor it. In this coun-
ty the converts are counted by scores.
All sensible men are now convinced that
Missouri cannot remain a slave State.
''By all means let the emancipation be
immediate. The Congress that meets
next winter will assist the State, but will
the next one? fear not. But aside
from this, we should be done with the in
stitution at once and forever. Remove
the only excuse for rebellion in this State
and identify our interestsw with Illinois and
other Western States. A policy which
would put off the decision of the question
in the meeting of another Legislature
might defeat for years, and is only adyo-
Gated by those who desire that such shall
be the result. If the next Legislature
and Congress act wisely, the rebellion
will result in good to Missouri.

Burnside and his Generals
From a Correspondent of the New York Post.
GENERAL RURNSInF

From Correspondent of the New York Post.
l. GENERAL BURNSIDE.
General Burnside is hungry enough for
glory, as soldier should be, but he is not
a self-sufficient or an over-confdent man.
If he is enterprising he is cautious. He
is careful enough in preparation; he is ex-
pected to fight, and, fighting, is expected
to win. To say that he is able to maneu-
yeF on the field of battle two hundred
thousand men, trained in modern tactics,
is to say that he is able TO do what no
man on this continent has been thought
capable of. But one man in history has
been thoroughly believed TO be compe
tent in strategy on so immense scale.
But that. on a battle scene of vast dimen-
sious, General Burnside viii fail to know
the moment when reserves shall be sent
TO the help of the right grand division
under Sumner, or the left grand division
under Franklin, or the center grand diyi-
sion under Hooker, is TO believe that he
has not deserved the command he has
held and the successes he has won. He
has none of those baleful military jeal
ousies which sacrifice armies and causes
lest the honnrs of victory may be reflect
ed upon a rival. If the supports he or
ders be marching to victory, they will be
forwarded with hearty speed, not only
without one pang of envy from him, but
with all patriots joy, though their COM
ing be to bind the brightest wreaths of
glory around another's brow.
THE SUBORDINATE cngg4SpERs.
General Sumner deserves the post of
honor, on the right Tried, faithful,
fearless, going into battle in the bravery
of full uniform and waving plumes, often
appearing exposed in the front of fight,
when his dashing presence lent spirit to
weary, hard pressed and wavering men,
he is an energetic and useful officer. Gen
eral Franklin is an able and highly-tlain-
ed soldier, and will acquit himself well in
the command of a corps. But make way
for the Center Grand Division, under
Hooker, Let the foe who fronts the men
he leads look well to their lines that day.
How like lion he stormed down on
their beaten, broken lines at Antietam.
When he started that morning, impetu-
GUS, resistless, his men who had caught
the fiery impulse of their chief, halted
for no obstacle, and were stayed by no
foe. Over infantry, cavalry, artillery,
they fought their way, and as they went,
it was clear to SEQ that by mid day this
resistless advance would roll up the rebel
hosts like scroll, and by sundown hold
it captive in its hand. But when, at .
o'clock, Hooker, fell, struck by ball,
men who had watched his splendid ad
vance, his magnificent success, exclaimed,
Where is the man who will follow up
these glorious advantages, or who will see
that they are followed Hp?" No such
man followed Hooker that day. On dis
tant part of the field, Burnside, stubborn
ly fighting his way to the bridge, and
then across it, did wonders. But no mind
equal to maintaining the fruits of Hooker's
grand advance lighted oter that part of
the fruitless field of Antietam.

Whether Mistress Reynard observed him

traps were set for several days with ike

how this arose, lay in wait one morning
after setting the traps. After while the
