q BAD WoMEN--The Boston Herald in
some comments on the execution of the
conspirators to the assassination Of the
President, alluding to one of them being
a woman, makes these just remarks. 1t
says:
When woman becomes bad she is
worse than twenty bad men, and can do
more mischief. for the reason that she is
more artful, and her sex gives her ad-
vantages not possessed by the masculine
gender. Unpriucipallcd women should
be made to suffer for their crimes as well
as unprincipallcd men. The women at
the South have been most bitter during
this rebellion. They have taken advan-
tage OF their sex and insuted Union Sol
ders whenever an opportunity presented
itself They h,ve acted as spies and in
formers, aud made themselves obnoxious
in every way possible. The fate of Mrs.
Surratt should warn them that they can.
not go unpunished if they violate law
and outrage deceney.

LITERARY LADoRs OF MINISTERS. The
following extract from an article in the
n. Y. Observer, may serve to show the
amount of writing in the life and labors
of a faithful and industrious minister:
Rev. Joshua Moody, the first minister
Of Portsmouth, n. H., wrote four thou
sand and seventy-six sermons in thirty.
nine years. Rev. Timothy Dwight, D.
D., of Concord n. H., is said to have
written ten thousand sermons in ten years.
Rev. Asa Mcfarland, d. d., of Concord
n. H., left two thousand and litth.four
sermons written in twenty-six years, an
average OF seyenty.six year. Rev.
Gardner Spring, d. D., in his fortcth an
uirersary sermon, stated that he had writ.
ten four thousand sermons at full length
Rev. John Crane, ID. D.. OF Northbridge,
Mass, wrote four thousand sermons in
| fifty years, Rev. Joseph hathrop, DID,,
of West Springfield, Mass, left more than
five thousand manuscript SERMONS be-
sides which he had published six octave
volumes Of scrmons, and large number
Of single aud occasional d;scaurscs than
any other American divine of his day, or
any other day except Cotton Muther.-
Rev. Timothy NJ. Cooley, ID. d., of Gran
vile, Mass, left Il memorandum that he
had preached nine thousand sermons /;
making all reasonable allowances for those
that had been preached twice or more, he
could not have written less than seven
thousand. How many sermons were
written by Rev. Samuel Mott, ID. d.,
Of Franklin, CT, is not known, but he
was in the habit OF writing two and some.
times three sermons u week, even when
he was ninety-fve years old; he must
have produced, during his ministerial life
OF seventy years, as many as seven thou
sand sermons.

whatever in reference to the Naval
Academy, abd thus his literary hor cs ars
blasted in the bud sailor should whis-
tie, but never sing. lie is refused per.
mission to send, carry, or receive cat.
tel and, last of all, he is forbidden to
marry. This caps the climax of cadet
misery, and sets premium Upon bobbihg
around. l have story apropos of it: =
Some time back, before the academy
removed from Annapolis, a young man
from one of the ardent southern States
fell in love with a maiden of the town.
He had opportunity to meet her frequent.
ly, and, contrasting the honey and butter
Of these stolen inter, Jews with the hard.
tack of his barrack life, he determined to
pop, embrace, and become Benedicite.
The young lady, equally ardent, was
not loath but she charged him thus
"You must not tell papa; be is q
great stickler for law and duty, and knows
that you have no right, being a cadet, to
take any other responsibility. When
you get your commission, which is all you
have to depend upon, we will parade the
fact,b until then we shall meet wheh wc
can, and as six months will see you with
a commission in your hand, there need
be no fear of detectinn. Besides, as You
must marry clandestinely. SO will I, and
we must keep the secret in common
At this time travelling Methodist
preacher was temporarily in the town.
and the twin dissemblers went before him
and joined hands.
Nothing remained but to keep the
secret.
AThe preacher knew nothing Of this,
however, and cursoriy let the mouse cub
of the trap, so that an old professor. who
disliked cadets, because they besiegcd in
squads certain pretty daug ghtcr that be
had, ascertained the fact, without ascer-
tanning but one of the names, and he
court.martialcd the cadet immediately.
Despite the personal cntreaties Of the
youth, the case was brought up.
He acknowledged the fact, pleaded
guilty, and fell back upon the mercy Of
the court.
The old professor aforesaid sternly OBJ
jected; he stood upon law and good
policy, and called for the lads dismiss.
al. .s
"You will be taking the bread out Of
my witc's mouth" said the cadet.
IL don't care" said the professor. "lct
justice be done, though the larder by
empty"
DO you know the lady's name I"
urged the cadet. ~.
IL don't want to know it j; she isn't
the criminal it is you"
"My wife, sir, is your daughter"
The old gentleman was overwhelmed
with rage and shame.
The court, acting upon this suggestion,
and partly with sly malice, struck tho
cadets name from the rolls. a..
So the old gentleman had to pay, for
time, the expenses of both daughter and
son-in.aw. The lad got back into the
navy during the rebellion, and rendered
good account of himself.

Wives and Husbands.

! With wife comes certain loss o
freedom, which is ilksomc to wilful ma
lures. This man (who is very short
sighted creature) never thinks Of unit
after the object Of bis love is his. Wax
ing thoroughly to the couciousness tina
he is married man, he finds in his
house person who has an absolute CLAIM
on his attention, his time, his affection
and his service. He is surrounded b.
new conditions. All his movements mus
start from new center. Mr.. Jones, be
for marriage, could harness his pony and
drive wherever impulse might direct ; bu|
MIR. Jones after marriage, is obliged te
remember that Mrs. Jones is In the house
and would like to accompany him-a
fact. considering the way towards which
the pony's head is turned, that the old
companions who live on the way, that it
is not wholly agreeable tc Mr.. Jones'
A new item comes into all his calcula.
tions. Mr.. Jones is double instead Of
single. Mr. Jones life which was once a
skein of silk has become stick Of twist,
and the strand which he contributed can
not be separated from its fellow without
snarl. Mr.. Jones finds himself tied to
Mrs Jones for life, and also finds that u
certain freedom Of movement which he
enjoyed before marriage, cannot. with
propriety. be enjoyed after marriage
This troubles MIR. Jones little. He has
half a mind to rebel. What business has
woman to Interfere with him? Per.
haps he rebels with whole mind. Thous-
ands do, and by the failure to adapt
themselves to their new conditions, inau-
gurate life of discorl Or Indifference.
Absorption in business and professions
al pursuits is, perhaps, the grand cause
of estrangement between married lives.
In France there is saying that "tobac-
co is the tomb Of love. French love,
probably. In America, businass is the
tomb of love. 1t is hard. if not impossi-
bic, for two great passions to live in the
heart at the same time. 1t is as difficult
to love woman and mammon. as it is to
serve God and mammon. The love of a
man for his wife must be the grand, en-.
during, all-subordinating passion of his
life, or woman is defraudcd of her right
The man, who, when his wife is won turns
the whole interest and energy of his life
into business, making that an end which
should only be means, is married only
in name. There is no parcotism of af-
fection like the strong love and ceaselcss
pursuit Of money. Turning gradually
away from the quiet society of their
wives, and the enjoyment Of their homes,
most men yield themselves to the pursuit
of wealth, and in the fierce excitement of
their enterprise, lose a taste Tor the calm
delights Of domestic life. At the close
Of a days labor, they bring home weary
bodies and worn minds. Nothing is saw
cd for their homes or wives. Their eve-
nings are stupid and fretful, and the pill
low and iorgetlulncss are welcomed as a
release from ennui.- ours at II ONE.

choir's falling out? Don't they agree
like children Of one family, only more
so? And then, such models of propriety
as singers always are! The opinion OF
the unmannerly clergyman who not long
since called his choir to order, to the
contrary notwithstanding! No singer
was ever jealous of another, but invaria-
bly, speaks Of him or her with the sim
cerest praise. Oh Mr.. Times, you
hare hit it this time, sure Home Joar'
nal.
