IRRITABILITY.

Irritability is, more than most unlovely
states, sin of the flesh. 1t is not like
envy, malice, spite, revenge, vice which
we may suppose to belong equally to an
embodied or disembodied spirit. In fact
/ it comes nearer to being physical depra-
witty than anything l know Of There are
some bodily states, some conditions of the
nerves, such that we could not conceive of
even an angelic spirit confined in body
thus disordered, as being able to any more
than simply endure. 1t is state of ner-
vous torture; and the attacks which the
wretched victim makes at others are as
much result of disease as the swapping
and biting of a patient convulsed with
Ihydrophobia.
Then, again, there are other people who
| go through life loving and beloved, desir-
ed in every circle, held up in church as
examples of the power of religion, who,
after all, deserve no credit for these things.
Their spirits are lodged in an animal ma
ture so tranquil, so cheerful; all the sensa-
Ftions which comes to them are so fresh
and vigorous and pleasant and they cannot
HELP viewing the world charitably and
seeing everything through a glorifed me-
dium. The ill-temper of others does not
provoke them; perplexing business never
sets their nerves to vibrating; and all their
lives long they walk in the serene sunshine
of perfect animal health.
+ Look at Rover there. He is never ner-
vous, never cross, never snaps or snarls,
and is ready, the moment after the gross
est af,ront, to wag the tail of forgiveness
all because kind nature has put his dogs
body together so that it always works har-
moniously. If every person in the world
were gifted with stomach and nerves
like his, 1t would be far better and hap
pier word no doubt. The man said a
good thing who made the remark that the
foundation of all intellectual and moral
worth must be laid in good and healthy
animal.
Now think It is undeniable that the
peace and happiness of the home circle
are very generally much invaded by the
recurrence in its members of these states
of bodily irritabiEty. Every peron, if he
thinks the matter over, will see that his
condition in life, the character of his friends,
his estimate of their virtues and failings,
his hopes and expectations are much mod
lifted by these things. Cannot we all re-
member going to bed as very illused per-
secuted individuals, all whose friends were
unreasonable, whose life was full of trials
and crosses, and waking up on bright,
lbird-singing morning to find all these il
Illusions gone with the fogs of the night p
Our friends are nice people, after all; the
little things that annoyed us look ridiculous
Iby bright sunshine; and we are fortunate
individuals.
The philosophy of life, then, as far as
this matter is concerned, must consist Of
two things; first, to keep ourselves out Of
Irritable bodily states; and, second, to un.
Iderstand and control these states, when
we cannot ward them of.-Ahdntic Month.

WOMEN IN ADvRRsITY.

Women should be more trusted and con-
fided in as mothers, sisters, wives. They
have quick PERCEPTION of the right and
wrong, and without always knowing why,
they read the present and future, read the
characters and acts, designs and probabil-
tiles, where man sees no letter or sign.--
What else do we mean by the adage
smother wit" save that woman has a
quicker perception and reader invention
than mani How often, when man aban-
dons the helm in despair, woman seizes it
and carries the homeship through the
storm! Man often flies from home and
family to avoid impending poverty and
ruin. Women seldom, if ever, forsake
home thus. Woman never evades mere
temporal calimity by suicide or desertion.
The proud banker, rather than live to
see his poverty gazetted, may blow out his
brains, and leave wife and children to
want, protectorless. Living, women would
have counselled him to accept poverty,
and live to cherish his family, and retrieve
his fortune. Women should be counsell-
ed and confded in. 1t is the beauty and
glory of her nature that it grasps at and
chngs to the truth and right Reason,
mans greatest faculty takes time to hesi-
tate before It decides; but woman's in
stinet never hesitates in its decision, and
it is scarcely ever wrong where it has
equal chance with reason. Woman feels
where man thinks, acts where he deliber-
ates, hopes where he despairs, and triumphs
where he fails s. o., .-..-...-.-. .--

can not say it is sin, but it is an uncuoth
habit.
Playing with the pocket-knife, jingling
keys and loose change, are in very bad
taste. Looking at the watch in an open
way makes one think person wishes to
make display of that valuable article
1t is considered i'll manners to look at ones
watch in company, but we now speak of
public places, concerts, church, etc, and
not private society. One may take peep
at his watch in public places if he does it
quietly, not to attract attention, and it is
allowable.
Loud talking is very rude on the ferry
boat, in the railway car, in church, in the
lecture or concert room before the seryi-
ces commence, and detestable afterward.
Little parties should keep their personal
conversation to themselves. Nothing, we
think, shows good breeding more than a
quiet manner, a mellow voice, and that
deeorousness and gentleness which accom-
pany that style Of speech.
One more very common and very an
noying habit may be named, and that is,
not going when one starts, but standing
in the open door. Many cold has been
taken by the patient lady of the house
with nothing on for protection, being de-
tanned by gossiping friend, sometimes
ten minutes, to hear last words and conf
Idential communications; talking thus in
the noise and roar of the street necessi-
tates loud talking, and sometimes the most
confidential things are heard all over the
house and even across the street.
We remember, in particular, family
that lived next door to us. The young Ia
dies would stand on the steps and talk
sometimes ten minutes, and we were
obliged to go away from our open parlol
window or hear all their arrangements and
confidential conversations, aud, forgive us
for saying it, we have seen some people
make display on the steps on purpose,
as we thought to attract attention Of peo-
pie across the way-they have talked
loudly and laughed heartily onpurpose to
make display.
( Never stand, and talk when you propose
to go.
i We have seen a delicate woman rise tc
dismiss her company after they had reach.
ed the door and "must 60 right away >
we have seen such a lady stand till she
turned pale with fatigue, while the visitor,
ruddy, and strong, and jolly, would spin
long yarns, and then stop again in the
cold ball, and on the steps, and again afteI
reaching the sidewalk. The proper rult
lis, when you have decided to leave, to b
off in sixty seconds. Never keep per
son standing in the hall or at the parlo
door, but take leave of your friends where
they are, and go at once.-Phrenologica

DOMESTIC FAULTS.

Homes are more often darkened by the
continual recurrence of small faults, than
by the actual presence of any decided
vice. These evils are apparently of very
dissimilar magnitude; yet it is easier to
grapple with the one than the other. The
eastern traveller can combine his force and
hunt down the tiger that prowls upon his
path: but he scarcely eau escape the mus
duitoes that infest the air he brethes, or
the fleas that swarm the earth he treads.
The Drunkard has been known to renounce
his darling vice; the slave to dress and
extravaganza, her besetting sin, but the
waspish temper, the irritating tone, rude,
dogmatic manners, and the hundred name
less negligence that spoil the beauty Of
association, have rarely done other than
proceed till the action of disgust aud grad
ual alienation has turned all the currents
Of affection from their course, leaving
nothing but barren track, over which the
mere skeleton of the companionshiP stalks
along.

rnR GREATNFss oF MAN.

The following beautiful passage occurs
in Bancroft's late ordRion on the life and
services of President Lincoln:
This is no time to say that human glory
is but dust and ashes, that we moftals are
no more than shadows in pursuit of sha-
dows. How mean a thing were man, if
there were not that within him which is
higher than himself-if he could not mas
ter the illusions of sense, and discern the
connections of events by superior light
which comes from God. He so shares the
divine impulses that he has power to sub
ject Interested passions to love of coun-
try, and personal ambition to the ennobie-
ment of man. Not in vain has Lincoln
lived, for he has helped to make this Re
public an example Of justice with no caste
but the caste of humanity. The heroes
who led our armies and ships into battle
Lyon, Mcpherson, Reynolds, Sedgwich,
Wadsworth, Foote, Ward, with their COM
peers-and fell in the service, did not die
in vain; they and the myriads of nameless
martyrs, and he, the chief martyr, died
willingly, ''that Government of the people,
by the people, and for the people, shall
not perish from the earth tr-

marked. But it is Sunday that puts our
homes to the proof. That is the Christian
family day. The intervals of public wor-
ship are long spaces of peace. The fam
lily seems made up on that day.. The
children are at home. You can lay your
hands on their heads. They seem to rec
ognize the greater and lesser love-to God
and to friends. The house is peaceful, but
not still. There is low and melodious
trin of children in it. But Sunday comes
too still now. There is. silence that
aches in the ear. There is too much room
at the table, too much at the hearth. The

is too much leasure and too little care.

CHILDREN.

When child is hurt never hush it. It
is inexcusable barbarity; it is repressing
its instinct; and for this reason if physical
punishment is inflicted on child it is per-
feet brutality. A thousand times better
is it to soothe by kindly words and acts,
divert the mind by telling stories, BY ex-
planning pictures, or by providing it with
new toys. We have many time In our
professional experience as to sick children,
found more benefit to be derived from a
beautiful or interesting toy than from a
dose ofphysic. The greatest humanity
mother can exhibit in respect to her sick
child is to divert it divert 1t, DIVERT IT, in
all pleasing ways possible, as we ourselves,
who are larger children, feel sometimes
really sick, when cheerful face and much
loved friend has come in, and before we
know it NE have forgotten what was the
matter with us-HaRs Journal Of Health.

DEAR Ssa: Your favor Of the 22d inst.

Messrs. John w. Atwater Co. seem to be
trying to play sharp game. They first
wrote US asking the PRISE OF Navy ana long

They then sent u m order for IS caddes
Of three varieties, saying II they opened
satisfactorily the, would send larger or

that We had not enough OF one sort ON hand
to fill tae order. and would have to put it oil
. weekly that time we could ship it all.
Last Monday we received another letter says
ing: "Ship Immediately what you have,
and cancel the balance Of the order. as it is
getting too late to be certain Of getting it up
by river" Their letters all have printed in
the upper corner, Office Of j. W. Atwater
& Co., Davenport We could find nobody
here that knew them, hence applied 70 you.
We have written t. them for refrrenrvs, but
have received no reply.
Yours truly,

This will serve to explain the whole planI
Our business men are unfortunately minus
this sharp competitor for trade. A dealer
getting goods under Atwatsr's plan would
be dangerous opponent to other tobacco

to attend to number Of cases 10 the Uni

Of Grant L Smith are attorneys.
This evening lion. Jno. P. Cook leaves
for the same place on like business, on the
part Of Cook L Drury, Of this city.
The cases in which Grant L Smith are
interested ~ attorneys, are as follows:
Elizur Mitchell Ss. City of Burlington
Action on Plank Road Bonds. Also, f. G.

U. S. ex rel Riggs rs. Supervisors; of

Steamer Ad. line ~. NJ. X. Trevor or,-ap-
peal from U. S. Circuit Court; in which
Trevor claims remuneration for personal

In this case Grant 4 Smith appear for
plaintiff, Cook / Drury for defendant.

Of Johnson county r r. Bonds. Grant (
Smith and Cook & Drury for plaintiff.
Y. s ex rel Webber rs. Supervisors Of

Of tax to pay tso, 900 judgment obtained
against said county i, the U. s. Circuit
Court. This is another county bond case.
S. 8. wslkiey rs. City Of Muscatirc.-
Bill in equity to cumpel payment Of judg-
ment obtained on City Bonds.
U. s. ex rel. BsnLos rs. Iowa City
Mandamus to compel payment Of Iowa City
Bonds.
These cases it will be seen refer princi-
pally to establishing the validity Of county
and city bonds. aud to enforce payment. 1t
will bs remembered that there is . conflict
Of authority between the lows Supreme
and the Federal Circuit Court for Iowa.
The former has decided against the validity
Of thsss bends. in several instances, while
the latter has by its decisions sustained the
reverse-that the bonds were valid.
These cases now go to the U. S. Cour,
and upon the result there the entire ques
ton rests. Should the decision Of that court
sustain the decision of the lower court. then
the makers ofthcsc city and county bonds
throughout the State Of Iowa, will have to
toe tho mark. Should the decisions Of the
Circuit Court be reversed, il 10 hardly sup.
possible that the bondholders will ever sec
al their money again.
In the cases above cited all the points
have been raised that will probably arise,
and their decision will apply to the thousand
and one cases thst have been or NAV be
raised upon lows county and city bends.-
Our city has deep interest in the result Of
these cases. Her bonded debt and interest
now borders upon the very heavy sum Of
34O0, 900, snd with . decision 10 favor Of
the bondholdsrs, there will necessarily he
some heavy taxation within our corporate
limits. The decision will be locked for With
intense interest.
