ECONOMY IN A FAMILY.-There is nothing
which goes so far toward placing young
people beyond the reach of poverty as
economy in the management of household
affairs. at matters not whether man fur
nishes little or much for his familw, if there
is continual leakage in his kitchen or parlor:
it runs away he knows not how, and that
demon waste, cries More, like the horse
leach's daughter, until he that provides has
no more to give. 1t is the husbands duty
to bring into the house; and it is the duty
of the wife to see that none goes wrongfully
out OF it. A man gets a wife to look after
his affairs, and to assist him In his journey
through life; to educate and prepare their
children for proper situation in life, and
not TO dissipate his property. The husbands
interest should be the wiies care, and her
greatest ambition to carry her no farther than
his welfare or happiness, together with that
of her children! This should be her sole aim
and the theater of her exploits in the bosom
OF her family, where she may do in as much
toward making fortune as he can do in the
counting room or workshop.

belongs to the Maine Cavalry, and who is now
in hospital at York, Penn. He says, 81 have
dreaded the coming political campaign, but
now that it Is on us, can but look with anx-
ious eyes, and hear with anxious ears, the re-
suit of the next vote, which is to do something
toward settling the question whether our land
shall be drenched in the blood of thousands of
the brave sons of America-whether the starry
banner shall be carried up and down the She
nandoah Valley, through seas of blood, for
years to come or whether the men who are
now battling for freedom shall see the goal of
their wishes the Stars and Stripes, spreading
its graceful folds from one end of our land to
the other Shall they be doomed to disap-
poiutment, in such men as Wood, Seymour,
Vallandigham aud Bradbury being placed in
power? How much we need Clay, Web

the tune Of Old Hickory. But thank God we

New OrIean, in 1862 and 1853.

Upon the occupation of New Orleans by
our forces, the Rebels consoled themselves for
its loss with the prophecy that the yellow fever
would drive us from the city in the ensuing
summer or fall and they were the more certain
OF this. from the fact that this epidemic had
yearly prevailed in that locality, and could not
be ayerted by the yankees" Yet, notwith-
standing this prophecy and wish, our troops
successfully passed through the summer and
fall of 1862 in good health, and New Orleans is
as free from yellow fever this season as last
In fact, its healthfulness compares very favor
ably with any of your Northern cities. Such
being the case one naturally asks the reason
for such sudden change in the sanitary con-
dition of the city. The simple answer is that
it is the result of our superior sanitary regu-
lations as people which we Immediately put
into operation upon our occupation of that
city,
The streets were thoroughly cleaned and
rules for their continued cleanliness rigidy en-
forced. Great pools of stagnant water in and
around the city, which had in former DAYS
bred pestilence and disease, were drained
Nothing that could contribute to the entire
cleanliness of the city was omitted by our au-
thorities, and the inevitable result was, not the
sickly season formerly induced by neglect of
sanitary measures, but an unprecedented
healthtulness, proving beyond a doubt the su-
periority of the Northern people in this res
pect at least. And not only has marked inn
provement in the health of New Orleans been
the result OF its occupation by us, but also the
Government of the city has been redeemed
from its former bad character. In proof of
this statement we have bnt to refer to a con-
ference which was held some three months
ago between Gen. Shepley and twenty of the
wealthiest and most influential of the loyal
citizens of that city, in reference to the pro-
priety Of ordering an election of city Gov
ernment. With one voice they adjured him
not to do it, assigning as their reason that
never before had their city Government been
SO upright, safe and economical as since our
occupation, property and life being both alike
SAFE In addition TO these good results from
our Inauguration OF perfect police system,
