VERAcrTY.-The groundwork of all
manly characterisveracity. That virtue
lies at the foundation Of everothing

confdedce. They are right. 1t is a
lawful and just ground to build upon.
and that is beautiful confidence
Whatever errors temptation may be-
tray a child into, SO long as braye,

something to depend upon; there is

EcoSoMY IN A FAMILY.-There is
nothing which goes so far towards
placing people beyond the reach of
poverty as economy in the manage
ment of household affairs. 1t matters
not whether man furnishes little or
much for his family, if there is a con-
tinual leakage in his kitcnen or par
lor; it runs away, he knows not how,
and that demon, Waste, cries "Morev'
like the horse leach's daughter until
he that provided has no more to give.
1t is tho 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 wife to look
after his affairs, and to assist him in
his journey through life; to educate
and prepare their children for a proper
station in life, and not to disipate his
property. The husbands interest
should be the wife's care, and her
greatest ambition to carry her no fur
ther than his welfare or happiness,
together with that Of hcrchildren.----
This should be her sole aim and the
theatre of her exploits in the bosom OF
her family, where she may do as much
toward making fortune as ho can
in the counting room or the work
chop. 1t is not the money earned
that makes man wealthy it is what
he saves from his earnings. Self.
qualification in dress, or indulgence in
appetite, or more company than his
purse can we'll entertain, are equally
pernicious.

EN- Eyerr DANCER and embarasss-

EE Every danger and embarass-
ment, says the Boston Courier, that
now beset the country, arise from the
voluntary violation of the Constitution
by the federal administration.
If the war is to go on, and the pres
ent administration is suffered to per-
petuate its power by the repetition of
such measures. as it has used to carry
and rs the mare ~ %
cy, the reign Of civil liberty win have
ceased here, and government OF
force will be substituted.
The common measure to persuade
free nations to part with their liber-
ties has been to subject the institu-.
tons that secured them to such abuses
as the administration now at WASH
ington has practiced. 1t is to protect
them against their consequence, and
for no other cause, that the war must
be carried on. &. \
In illustration Of these views we
find the following striking passage in
q late number Of the London En-
0m6,eY: =. :,
"Wo have never conc,lrred in the
opinion that the institutions Of Amer
lea have been found wanting on this
trial. The fault has not been with
them, but With the people who, for
vain glory have givon up thcir liber-
ties. Had they lived under q nionar
chy, they would have done the same,
and would have rnado their sovereign
absolute as the Car whom they SO
much admire and extol. 1t is their
vice to love greatness moro than libcr-
ty, to be vain of extensive territory
instead Of personal rights hence their
light surrenner Of oil their best sccu-
rites for freedom. -
Let us not be told they win resume
their guarantees when the occasion
has passed away. AS well might il be-
said that a woman would resume her
chastity after surrender. A nation.
which has consented to live without
its liberties has prepared itself too
well for the loss of them. 1t has fore
gone the habit Of virtue"
