We Hail thee, Loved Banner.
BIZ ]. H. DANIELS.

We hail thee, loved banner, shoutthy glad story
oftriumph Ger treason, oppression, and wrong;
While strong arms have saved thee, and wreathed
thee in glory
We'll give thee the deep inspiration of song.
We've turned to thee oft in the wars wild commotion,
AS drifted our barque Ger the perious seas;
No flag that the wind ever walked into notion
So proudly and gracefully swelled to the breeze.
Now snatched from rude hands that long have be-
guiled thee,
Baptized in the blood of the true and the brave;
Now washed from the stain that so long has defled
thee
We bid thee in triumph forever to wave.
Though tattered and torn mid the wars desolation,
Brave hearts were still cheercd by thy beautiful
form,
We greet with rapture loved badge of the nation,
We hail thy proud exit from battle and storm.
We've poured on the alter our richest oblations,
We've pledged thee to LIBERTY UNION, AND RIGHT,
For thou art the rainbow of hope to the nations
Thrown back on the storm-cloud in pictures of
light.
Though dark rolled the war-cloud and loud burst the
thunder,
And fiercely the hail by tempest was driven,
No traitor-hand ever the nation could sunder,
No star from our banner has ever been riven
The Eagle peers ont through the twilight's first
cleaning,
Or gazes with pride from his home in the skies,
To see the old banner gloriously streaming,
Where, low in the dust the vile trator-fag lies.
We've turned to thee oft in the wars wild commotion,
AS drifted our barque DER the perilous seas;
No flag that the winds walked into motion,
So proudly and gracefully sweed to the breeze.

Unhappy Married People.

That the course Of true love, before
marriage, never runs smooth, is truth
we'll known but 1t seems to be less
generally understood that the course of
true love after marriage, is equally liza
bic to perturbations. One reason of
this, perhaps, is that literature has treat
ed the sorrows Of lovers seriously, while
the troubles of married life have been
the theme of satirists and humorists.
A strange proceeding, this, on the part
of literature, since the perplexities Of
lovers are generally brief and trivial, and
married differences are frequently terri
bic and blasting.
Our habit Of publicly answering cor
respondents, has caused thousands of
troubled hearts to open to us the sad
details Of domestic misery, impaired to
no one else. Wives and husbands tell
us how ardently they loved, what hap
piness they expected, and how cruelty
they had been disenchanted and disap-
pointed The future, that was bright
with promise while ago, is now SO
black and threatning, that they see be-
fore them no prospect but to spend a
life Of repining and despair They love
one anothe,' still, and as warmly as ever
they did, yet they are miserable. It is
to such as these that we venture, on the
present occasion, to address a few OBJ
servations.
Generally this spirit of mutual con-
cession is not acquired immediately.
The art Of living together justly and
joyously,is one which is intrinsically diff
ficulty, and upon which the appointed
teachers Of men throw little light. If a
tenth part of the genius and toll which
have been wasted upon questions of
metaphysics, had been expended upon
educating the laws relating to the hu-
man temper, we should by this time,
probably, have reached important and
definite principles, the knowledge Of
which would greatly smooth the path
that leads to married happiness. As it
is, we have all to solve the great prob
lem unassisted and to learn the secret
after more or less bitter experience, ,ac-
cording as our natures are more or less
reasonable.
One error, we find, is cherished by
nearly all unhappy married people
namely, each thinks that the fault is all
on the other side The husband takes
it for granted that all would be we'll
with them, if only his wite were little
different from what she is, and the wife
feels sure that perfect happiness would
be the instantaneous result if only
that husband of hers were not quite SC
unreasonable In almost all cases this
opinion is erroneous. There cannot be
quarrel unless both are in fault
There can be no permanent estrange-
ments without grievous faults on both
sides. If one is exacting the other is
too yielding. If in one there is lack
Of considerateness, there is in the other
want of frmness.
And first, we may remark, for their
comfort, that their case is not singular,
but common and universal. Ithappens
seldom that two human beings are SO
ezquisitely adapted to one another, BY

nature and education, that they can ac-
quire the art Of living without being
compelled to make painful sacrifices of
habit, taste and feeling. After the glow
and delusion of the honeymoon are
passed each has to learn that the other
has faults which were not perceived be-
fore: each has to discover that the 9th
er is a fallible and limited human being
not an angel mot an hero, not saint.
Each has acquired in their previons
course through life, bundle Of those
sustinate things called habits, some of
which are sure to seem unreasonable
and unwise, and none Of which can be
laid aside without an effort. Each has
formed strong attachments, and perhaps
strong opinions. The habits conflict,
the opinions clash, and unless each of
the mated two cherish the true spirit of
friendly compromise, unhappiness is
certain to follow quick upon the tumul-
tuous joy Of the espousal.
As general rule the husband holds
in his hands the happiness Of the house
hold-his own, his wife's, their chill
drens. There is not one woman in a
thousand who will not at length become
Just, conciliatory, and kind if her hus-
band is firm just, and tender. When
man has attained self-control, he has
acquired supremacy over all who are
still the slaves Of caprice and ill-temper.
A woman has many causes of irrltabillty
that are unknown to men, She cannot
be forgiven too much there is no de-
gree of charity and tenderness to which
her character, her sufferings, and her
importance do not entitle her.
The frst'step toward the harmonizing
Of a discordant pair is for one Of them
to ascertain the true state of the case,
and to cease everything like recrimina
ton. The man ought to do this, and
if he does it, happiness is almost sure
to revisit the distracted house. The
woman is less potent, but there are
many miserable houses which could be
restored to peace, if the wife could ac
.quire certain degree Of forbearance and
eqnanimity. One Of them, however,
must undertake the task and it will
invariably be that one which has the
largest soul, and generally, the one
that has the most to forgive.

France to America, when the captain,

''Father, you are not accustomed to

As long as you hear the sailors swearing

there are good hopes but if you should

"Alas father" said he. returning,
"all is lost. The sailors are swearing

what Is to be done to break down this evilf
"Yes, what Is to be dones" we imagine
we hear hitherto patient husbands and
fathers ask. Our advice is not to say
to the ladies, "You shall not have
bonnets at such price," No; that would
not do; for then they would assuredly have
them at any price. This is the way, husbands
and fathers: let things 60 on as they are going
on; do not interfere at oil; the milliners will
increase their charges; the ladies will rebel
against the extortion flor they are beginning to
rebel already; bonnets and dresses will be
made at home, or they will be purchased else
where; the milliners win lose their business, and
their charges will then come down as naturally
as possible. When an evil reaches Its highest
point Of endurance there must come reaction.
Be patient, therefore, suffering paters fanit;as;
do not make any opposition, and the upheaving
will come by and by to relieve yon Of your bur
dens. The eliminating point will be reached

THEATRICAL Reform IN PROGREss.--M Rush
toms new theatre on broadway opens this
evening. Several other new places Of amuse-
mcnt are in-conrse cfpceparstion. Before very
long weexpecs to Ne the theatres now controlled
by the SHY Mausgers' ASSOCIATION completely
superseded by new and better establishments.
The theatrical reform which we inaugurated ID
thus going on most successfully and satisfacto-
rily. But this fact should not be allowed to
interfere with the action Of the next Legisla-
ture in taxing each Of the present theatres five
or ten thousand dollars in the form Of q license
fee. The most Of the present managers are
foreigners. They boast that they are making
large fortunes; and, II so, they will probably 90
back 10 their own countries to enjoy them.
Thus they viii escape taxation almost entirely,
if the Legislature does not place license fee
upon them large enough to compensate the
government in some degree for permitting
them to remain here and make their money.
Among the reform measures before the Legis-
lature this should 1t once take prominent po-
eitiOn.

will be understood at once by those who reside
IN Washington, or who frequently visit that city.
The great number of naval officers who have
been In the habit of congregating at the federal
capital, besides those who belong to the Navy
Yard or departmental bureaus and those whs
reside or have official business there, have
proved troublesome to the department and
Congress, and have not unfrequently fallen
into habits Of dissipation. Many brave young

loaflng about and dissipating in the hotels and
fast society Of Washington. It is better for
them to be away from such temptations and
from political influences. The order Is CAL
culated to preserve better discipline over them;
and they will be able to obtain permission to
visit the capital whenever they may have lcgi-
innate business there. The order will bear
rather heavy at first perhaps, upon the young
ladies who found these gallant fellows such

MALIGNANCY OF THE RICHMOND ENQURER~--
The Richmond Enquirer, true to its original
instincts, makes q malignant and rufianly at-
tack upon our correspondent In that place.
The assault is altogether unjustilable and un-
worthy any newspaper in respectable standing.
But this exhibition Of q jealous and malignant
spirit is nothing new for the Enquirer. We re-
member that some years ago, during the Know
Nothing times, we sent special reporter to
Richmond TO report Governor Wise. Tho
Enquirer on that occasion attacked our re
porter In the same ungentlemanly and I'M
reasonable manner, and endeavored to ex-
cite popular prejudice against him even to the
extent Of Lynch law. We had hoped the sad
experiences OF the rebellion had taught the
Enquirer and its malevolent clique some de-
cency; but we fear they can never be reclaimed.

loving people have TO do Is to let the thing
