some men would be glorious husbands if
their wives only did something that they
don't do, and acre something that they
can't possibly be. They never supposed
women were such fraii concerns as to wilt

they'd find out the difference soon enough
Very unreasonable and unwife-like Of them

in losing the ripe-strawberry checks that

We respectfully submit the query,
whether women don't get little cheated
in this matter! It is all very nice to be
compared to a lump Of sugar, or a plate
Of ice-cream or even an angel, though that
last is rather mon-place-very nice to
have Adolphus break bis suspenders jump

to get her the prettiest boquet in market.
This is the kind of man that woman adj
mires as be as. But he don't stay is. How
she does cling to him, and worship him,
and compare him to Der doudea little mind

out what terrible mistake they have made
they keep thinking all these little eccen-
tricites are the necessary accompaniments
of genius, and the more they are scolded
at the mecker they grow. But your true
specimen of womanhood-your black-eyed,
energetic little mixture of fire and fun, ten

this sort of nonsense. You might as we'll

ssF The flag of the union carries pros.
perity and intelligence with it wherever it
goes. While the rebels held Nashville,
business was generally suspended, and the
schools were generally closed. The first
week after it was occupied by Gen. Buell.,
the railroads began to resume business,
the steamboats, began to make regular
trips, the mails began to arrive and depart
as formerly, and the public schools of the
city were opened It is true the aristocra-
cy were sullen, the fashionable ladies turn

the "white trash" ate salt cut Of our
hands with bad grace, but the more in

How TO Grow BEAUTIFUL. Persons
may outgrow disease and become healthy
= by proper attention to the laws of their
physical constitution. BY moderate and
daily exercise men may become active and
strong in limb and muscle. But to grow
beautiful, how? Age dims the luster of
eye, and pales the roses on beauty cheek;
while crowfeet, and burrows, and wrinkles,
and lost teeth, and gray heirs, and bald
head, and tottering limbs, and limping, most
sadly mar tire humane form divine. But dim
iasthe eye is, aspallid and sun4zen-as may
be the face Of beauty, and frail and feeble
that once strong, erect, and manly body, the
immortal soul, just Hedging its wings for its
home in heaven, may look out through
those faded windows as beautiful asthe dew
drop Of summer morning, as melting as
the tears that glisten in7afection's eye by
growing Kindly, by cultiyatipg sympathy
With all human kind, by cherished forbear
anco towards the follies Of cur race, and
feeding, day by day, on that love TO God
and man which lifts US. from the brute,
and makes US akin to angels.-Dr. Hall.

MANUFACTURE OF IRON AND Steel, BY
ELEcTRIclTY.-AIr. A. L. Fleury, of Phila-
delphia, is now engaged at the Pennsylva-
MIA Iron Works, Danville Pa, in testing
his new method of applying induced elec-
trieity in the manufacture of iron, which
has before been noticed in the Scientific
American. His apparatus for produc ng
the required quantity of electricity for so
great mass of metal proved insufficient,
and 1t became necessary to procure larger
one. For that purpose be went to Binc-
hampton, n Y, where be procured pow
erful magneto-elcctric machine from Hon.
John \. Collier, President of the magnetic
electric Company Of New York, with which
he IS now about to make the interesting
experiment at the furnaces of the above
company. These machines are used for
electrotyping, for producing of the most in
tense electric light, which penctrates
through fogs, and can be used also for sub
marine purposes; for the successful deeom.
position of water, the production of hydro
gen and oxygen, for the smelling of all
kinds of ores, fer the manufacture Of iron
and steel. and numerous other purposes.
These machines, driven BY steam power,
are of very simple construction, devoid Of
complexity, and not liable to wear and de-
rangement,
The employment of electricity in the
manufacture Of iron is one of great inter
est and the result of these experiments viii
be anxiously looked for.--Scieaf1sc Ama !
