The NJ. Z. Church south, In West
.r,, Virginia
[Frow the Wheeling Inteil'gsnoer, August ~
There is trouble in reference to the NJ.
E. Church, South at Parkersburg. Bishop
Kavanaugh, who recently visited thar
place for the purpose of recognizing
the adherents Of the denomination, and
not only there bat elsewhere in the
State, was met by many of the loyal
members of the Church, among them
Governor Boreman, and informed by
them that il would be iil-adyised and
unpslatable for any persons of sus'
pecied rebel procliVities to attempt the
reorganization of the Church South in
West Virginia. The Bishop, however,
| it seems, was so bent on reorganization,
that be disregarded these counsels and
boldly superseded the loyal pastor in
charge of the Church at Parkersburg,
by the appointment Of the Rev. Mr.
Briscoe. The appointment has proved

against in the columns of the Gazette,

suit will be, we presume, the triumph OF

all his life for the purpose of leaving
enough to give his children start in the
world, as it is called Setting young
man ahoat with the money left him by
his relatives, is like tying bladder under

chances to one he will lose his bladder

swim, and he will not need the bladdcrs.
Give you child sound education. See
20 it that his morals are pure, his mind
cultivated, and his whole nature made
subScrvicnt to the laws which govern
man, and you have given what will be of
more value than the wealth Of the Indies.
You have given him start which no mis-
fortune can deprive him of. The earlier
you teach him to depend upon his own
resources and the blessing Of God, the
better.

4 PERFECT WIrE.-Edmond Burke, the
orator, was a man Of parts, and his beau
ideal of perfect wife is rs follows A
perfect wife is handsome, but it is not a
beauty arising from the features, from
complexion, or from shape. She has all
three in a high degree, but it is not by
these that she touches the heart-it is all
that sweetness Of temper, benevolence,
innocence and sensibiity which a face
can express. that forms her beauty. She
has face that just arouses your attention
at first sight; it grows upon you every
moment, and you wonder that it did not
more than raise attention at first. Her
eyes have a mild light, but they awe
when she pleases, they command, like a
good man out Of office, not by authority,
but by virtue. Her stature is not tall
she is not made to be the admiration Of
every one. She has the firmness that
does not exclude delicacy-all the soft
ness that does not imply weakness. Her
voice is soft, low music, not formed to
rule in public assemblies, but to charm
those who can distinguish company from
a crowd; it has its advantage, you must
come close to hear it. To describe her
body, describes her mind--one is the
transcript of the other. Her understand.
ing is not shown in the variety of matter
it eXerts itself upon, but in the goodness
Of The choice she makes. Her politcncsS
flows rather from a natural disposition to
obligr, than any rules on that subject,
and therefore never fails to strike those
who understand good breeding, as well
as those who do not.

IT used to be favorite complaint on
the part of New Englanders that the
States to which they belonged were not
as fully represented in the Congressional
Committees as was deemed their due
but this was in the good old times when
the Constitution was respected and the
Union was regarded as Of inestimable
value by the majority of the Northern
people. Since the Republicans came into
power these complaints have ceased, and
with reason. OF nineteen Standing Com.
mittees in the United States Senate, the
Chairmen of seven are from New England
States, and of the various positions on
these Committees, thirty-nine are filled
by New Englandcrs; there are three Joint
Standing Committees, of two of which
New England has the Craftsmanship, and
the Chairman of the only Select Commit
tee of the Senate is from Massachusetts.
