There Is danger that your love for him
will be chilled by the stern realities Of
life. During the days Of your courtship,
you enjoyed sinecure. Your mother
took care IN doors and took care out of
doors, so that you did not feel want, but
il was provided for Immediately. Now
both you and your husband have TO pro-
vide things for yourselves; and you are in
danger Of coming TO feel thai it is not
what you had ieason TO expect. But you
knew tha, our husband was not rich, be-
fore YOU married him and that united ex-
ertiCns would be necessary to ensure your
success in life. Besides, labor is posi-
tive blessing. Without employment we
should be very unhappy.
Look at and consider well, the excel
lent traits in your hushand's character.--
Think of the daily evidences Of his warm
Rve. Think of his arduoas lbors 10

but it Is exerted through the aNections.--
Love is its handspring. let your hus-

The Wife's Welcome.

BY Mrs. AREN.
The hearth is swept, the hre is bright,
The kettle sings for tea
The cloth is spread, the lamps slght,
The hot cakes smoke in napkins white,
And now wait for thee
Come home, love, hor e thy task Is done
The clock ticks listeningly;
The blinds are shut, the curtains down,
The arm chair to the fireside drawn,
uur boy upon my knee.
Thy task is done. we miss thee here
Where'er thy footsteps roam,
No hand will spread such kindly cheer,
No beating heart, no listening ear
Like those which wait at home
Aha along the crisp walks, fast
That well known step doth come
The belt is drawn-the gito T. past,
The babe is wild with JOY at last
thousand welcomes home.

speech OF Louis Napoleon.

NEW York, Feb. THE following is portion
Of Napoleons speech to the Corps Legislatif, Jan.
I'D:
As in preceding years, will examine with you
the principal questions which interest our coun-
try abroad. Peace seems assured everywhere, for
everywhere the means are sought for amicably
settling difficulties, in place of ending them with
sword and musket. The meeting of English and
French fleets in the same ports has shown that the
relations formed on the field of battle have not
been weakened. They have only cemented the
agreement of the two countries. In regard {
giving any Intervention it is best TO continue
to observe a policy of neutrality. which,
without preventing the United States at the time
from being dspleased or dissatisfied leaves us me-
vertheless, strangers to the question in which we
are conferred. though not directly engaged.
Italy. recognized by almost all the powers Of
Europe, has strengthened its unity by inaugural
ing its capital in the center Of the Peninsula. We
count upon the scrupulous execution of the trial
of the 18th September upon the indispensable
maintenance of the power ofthe Holy Father.
As expressed the hope last year, that our ex-
petition to Mexico was approaching its termins-
tion, am coming to an understanding with Max
jmilan to fix the time for the recall of our troops
without compromising French interests, which we
have been defending.
North America, issuing VIGOROUSLY from q for
midable struggle, has re-established the Union,
and has proclaimed the abolition of slavery.
France. which forgets no noble page of her his
tory, offers up her sincere wishes for the prosperity
of the great American Republic, and for the main
tenance of the amicable relations which have al
ways existed between the two governments.
The excitement produced in the United States
BY the presence of our troops in Mexico, will be
pacifed by the frankness of our declaration. The
American people will comprehend that our expe-
dtion. to which We invited them. was not opposed
to their interests

ARRESTED AT BRIDGEPoRT-CoNDrT
OF AFFAIRS THERE.-The following is the
substance of a communication received here
yesterday by the military authorities, from
Col. +. w. Lister, commanding a colored
regiment at Bridgeport, Alabama:
send you under guard a man calling
himself Turner b. Smith, but whose real
name is William Winters He was con-
cerned in an attack upon house immedi-
ately in the vicinity Of my camp, about II
o'clock, ON the Sd day Of February, and was
captured by guard sent for the purpose of
quelling the disturbance.
His companion, a man named Maybee,
who refused TO accompany the guard and
attempted TO escape, was shot dead by the
corporal Of the guard. Winters is a deserter
from the 9th Tenn. Cav; and + a fugitive
from justice, having stabbed a man
in Lebanon, Tennessee, his native
place. There are other charges against
him, for horse stealing, which can be sup
ported by evidence. The civil authority
acknowledges itself TO be powerless either TO
repress or punish the numerous outrages
committed within radius of ten miles from
this place. Two justices Of the peace, who
have been with me to-day during the inves-
ugation Of the above case, wish me TO assist
them in apprehending men against whom
true bills have been found, for almost every
crime, including murder.
We are informed that the person men,
toned in the communication referred to-
VIM. Winters-will be turned over 10 the
civil authorities here to be sent by them 10
Lebanon for trial.

THE Rock CRY On AND MINING
CoNPANY.-We are informed by gentle
man just returned fromthe locality, that this
company have the most brilliant prospect of
success-and we are truly glad of this, not
on account Of the personal feelings of respect
and esteem which we entertain for the gen.
tlemen who compose the company but on
account more especially of the great impetus
that their success will give to the business of
our city. Our fellow citizen, A. Nelson, is
President Of the company, and 1t is unneces-
sary for US to remark upon his fitness and
capacity for the position; his known industry
and infexible integrity carries with it the
confidence of the community. Mr. Gillock
is Superintendent of the company, and from
his account, the success Of the company is
beyond all controversy. Under his manage
ment the company has struck, at a distance
Of 210 feet flow Of oil, mixed with gas,
which rises 65 feet above the surface Of the
earth. There can be no doubt but an inn
mense reservoir of oil exists beneath that
portion of their lands which they are now
boring upon.
The lands Of the company are situated
near the mouth of Ashburn Greek, Overton
county, Tenn, and from the intelligence of
the gentlemen associated together in this en-
terprise, success is beyond all doubt, and we
are sorry that we have heard that all the
stock is taken.
