JoHN BULL FRGHrENED.. 1T appears that
our English friends are becoming somewhat
alarmed at the rapidity with which the
American Government is constructing an
efficient iron clad navy. It has been well
said, that 'the Cumberland did not sink
alone, bat dragged down with her all the
wooden navies of The world > and in the
work of reconstruction the United States is
likely to hold its own even with Engand.
The London Herald. an organ of the En-
glish aristOcracy, and rabid advocate of
the cause of The Secessionists. has these
MonitOrial reflections:
What does the development of the naval ele-
ment in America mean? Is itagainst the Con
federates that 1t is directedi Is it in order to
crush their actual enemies that every arsenal
In the Federal States shows signs of unwonted
activity This certainly is not the case, as since
the disastrous fate Of the Merrimac the Wash
ington Government is able to sweep the seas
and rivers with their fleets, so far as the Com
federates, whose strength lies in their land for
cos, are concerned. Then il the object of these
extensive naval preparations cannot be the en-
emy now in the field we must infer that there
are ulteror cOnsiderations-that there is a de.
sign to strengthen the American navy as
against old established marines; in other words
to maintain feet which may successfully cope
with the ships of France, Russia or England
Great Britain, however, is more Immediately
pointed at in this project, as it seems to be al
most traditionary policy on the part of Amer
lean politicians to cultivate friendly relations
with the empires Of France and Russia, while
England is treated by them with coolness or
contumey, even though they dare not proceed
to overt violence.

GARRIBALDI's MuyEMENTs.-AmOng the
late items OF European news, we have the
following from Italy:
Garibaldi had quilted Castro Giovanno, and
arrived at Polizza, with about 8 1000 volunteers.
Politicians believe, notwithstanding appearan-
ces. that there is, at the bottom, complete ac-
cord between Garibaldi and Victor Emanuel.
Ricasoi, it is said, forces Garibaldi to advance
to Rome. Austria is taking strong preeaution-
airy measures in Venetia. Reports from the
French squadron employed watching GaTlba-
dis movements state that they are actively at
work. The decks Of the vessels are constantly
cleared and ready for action.

And bitten the young and the old,
And laid in the couch Of the rich aud the poor,
And frightened the warrior hold.

A RUNoR was telegraphed across the con-
tinent day or two ago, to the effect that
Gen. Sigel had shot Gen. Mcdowell in the
head, at the battle Of Warrenton. No par.
ticulars were given, but it was intimated
that Mcdowell had proved treacherous.
Later dispatches, though they make no
mention of the rumor. show it to have been
a pure fabrication.

Couldn't SUPPoRr IT.-A chap in Virgin
ia was taken prisoner by the rebels, who de-
manded that he should take an oath to support
the Confederate Government. The fellow said
he had taken great many big oaths in his
day, but he could not even support his own
family, and to swear to support the Confeder-
ate Government was taller swearing than he

A Fathers Consent Only.

A rich young merchant of Paris, hav,
ing met at an evening party young lady
who pleased him, asked her hand from
her father, without saying word to her.
The papa, having satisfied himself that
the proposed son-in-law was eligible, gave
his consent, and informed his daughter
that he had found a husband for her.
that she must order the wedding dress
immediately, and that she would be mar
ried in a week.
"Very well, papa; but to whom am |
to be married ?"
"Oh! a friend of mine; he is gone
into the country on business but you
will see him on Sunday"
'And the wedding is to be on Mon
day, papay"
"It's all right; don't make yourself
uneasy"
On the following Monday the wedding
party appeared before the mayor OF one
of the ACCOMPLISHMENTS, to celebrate the
civil marriage. On the mayors putting
to the bride the usual question-"Doy you
consent 70 take this man to be your we'd
ded husband ?'' the girl answered, "Why,
to tell you the truth, Mr. Mayor, you are
the first person who ever asked me that
question. If had been asked before, L
should have said yes, perhaps; but, un-
der the present CIRCUMSTANCES, NO p
The mayor at once left his chair, and
the matter stands over for further con-
sideration.

4 PRosAIC PAPA.-The "Once a
Month" for July, has very interesting
article or the subject of "Home Mu-
sic" As an illustration of one of the
lights in which the subject is viewed,
the following domestic detail' is given:
eve lately heard of an indulgent father,
who had spent what he thought liberal
sum-a thousand dollars or so-upon his
daughters musical education. The let
result Of this peouniary Investment SEEM
ed, to his mercantile apprehension, to be
summed up in three music pieces, which
he found his daughter was able to play
when she came from the hand of her
teacher-namely, waltz, mazurka, and
polka. But she soon forgot the waltz,
and afterwards the mazurka, so that at
last the polka was all that was left to her.
Then, II the evening, when her father
came home, he would throw himself lam
guidly On the sofa and say, Come my
daughter, gtoe as that thousand dollar
p9!ka.'

Belle loved her proud, noble looking hus-
band, and they went to their home where
one would think the shadows could never
fall, for never was lovelier nook, more
suited to the taste of his bride than the
home to which Harry Lawton took his
queenly Belle.
The honeymoon bad scarcely passed
when ANY perceived troubled look in
her sisters sportive orbs, and wondered
what could make her unhappy, until, one
day, on entering her sisters home, she
found her weeping passionately.
"What is the matter, dearest sister Z"
she asked in tones of compassion and
grief; and Belle, in her angry feelings,
poured forth a torrent of abuse against
him who she mad vowed TO love TIL death.
The cause was but trihing, but had
led to sad results, for an estrangement,
slow but sure, was coming between them.
Amy's heart ached for her, and before
she left, she had. by her sweet counSels,
soothed the mind of the angry wife, and
subdBed her to remorse and shame for
her hasty temper.
"You will find, darling sister," she
whispered at parting, "that these little
shadows are chilling to the heart; they
cast a darkness over your path, and, Belle,
dear, there Is nothing like looking towards
the misunderstanding so calculated to
warm the heart as lingering in the sun
beams"
Harry Lawton returned home that
night with frown upon bis brow but,
as he entered the hall, he was surprised
to hear the voice of his bride gaily sing
ing. in her own sweet voice, the cheering
song of Life let US Cherish" He en-
tered the cozy sitting room, and there
was Belle pouring out his tea, and, draw
ing his chair closer up to the table, she
looked up with a smIle, and yet a painful
blush passed over her face but he was
subdued, and in a moment be was beside
her, calling her by the old pet names of
their brightest days, and begging her
forgiveness.
Tears trembled in her eyes as she
answered him, and they sat down by
their freside, happier and better than
before
Come to the piano, Belle" asked the
lover husband, about sunset, land sing
that song you were singing at my en-
trance"
And when she had complied with his
request they stood for long time watch
ING the sunset. and the bright clouds,
aud Belle said she was very happy "lin
gering in the sunbeams." And she
learned wisdom from this sad heart-lesson,
and found that, although life's path was
not strewn with roses, there were some
of its thorny paths that might Desmootbed
and restored to the love and confidence Of
him whom she loved; she felt the sun
beams oflove nesting closely to her heart,
and was content.
This, reader, is a life history, and Is,
no doubt, the experience of many hearts;
and it were we'll for us if, when the shad
ows come, we are enabled to see the
brightness, and, like gentle Amy, when
the shade is too cold, and chills our heart
in It's best affections, we shall endeayor
to take life's sunniest way, and with the
sunshine beaming on our path, and cheer
ing US with It's genial rays, to Ginger in
the sunbQams"
