Henry A. Wise.

The Richmond correspondent of the
New York News, in a recent letter to that
Journal, closes thus s.,.
1 That old, eloquent man, General Fl. Il.
Wise, recently qualified as an attorney in
Judge Lyons court. When he appeared to
take oath of fidelity to the constitution Of
Virginia the General remarked that before
doing so he would say what, to bis mind,
that oath meant. He recognized Virginia
according to her ancient boundaries, from
lT76 to the present honr.s He did not re-
cognize any Legitimate offspring Oft polit-
ical rape. 1"For,' said he, AWest Virgin
ia, so-called, is q bastard" itifi#t a
If, however, the north western portion Of
Virginia desires to be severed from the old
state, fairly and eonstitationally, he would
interpose no objection, for we should then
have the advantage offour senators instead
Of two. The old veteran then took the
oath to support the Constitution Of the
United States, the oath of fidelity to Vir-l
ginia. and the oath Of an attorney-at-law,
and proceeded to argue breach Of contract

Impure Water.

An exchange furnishes us with the fol.
lowing facts, which are of interest and i'm.
portance to every one. Set a pitcher of
iced water in room inhabited, and in a
lew hours it will have absorbed from the
room nearly all the respired and perspir-
ed gases of the room, the air of which
will have become purer, but the water is
utterly filthy. This depends on the fact
that water has the faculty Of eondensing,
and thereby absorbing all the gases,
which it does without increasing its own
bulk. The colder the " alter is, the great.
er its capacity to contain these gases. At
ordinary temperature, a pint of water will
contain pint of carbonic acid gas, and
several pil1ts of ammonia. The capacity
is nearly doubled by reducing the tenn
perature to that of ice. Hence water
kept in room awhile. is always UNFIT for
use, and should be often renewed wneth-
er it becomes warm or not. And for the
same reason, the water in pump stock
should all be pumped out in the morning
before any is used. That which has
stood in the pitcher over night is not fit
for coffee water in the morning. Impure
water is more injurious to the health than
impure air. and every person should pro-
vide the means of obtaining fresh, pure
water for domestic use.

I've waited long enough, Kathleen;
The winters fairly past
The lambs are playing on the green
The swallows come at last.
The vine is leafy round my door,
The blossoms's on the May;
The waves come dancing to the shore
Why don't you name the day?
You know you put me of, Kathleen,
Until the early spring;
The skies are tranquil and serene,
The bees are on the wing
Tee fisher spreads his little sail;
The mowers in the hay;
The primrose blossoms in the vale
Why don't you name the day1
The thrush is building in the thorn,
Among the whispering leaves;
The lark is bnsy in the corn
The martin meath the caves.
The little birds don build in vain
Their mates don't say them nay
Beware !! | may not ask again:

FOR sMALL-sIzEp LADIES'.


In little precious stoney
What spIendor meets the eyes!
In little lump of sugar,
How much of sweetness liesI
So IN little woman,
Love grows and multiplies
You recollect the proverb say
81 word unto the wise"
A pepper.corn is very small,
But seasons every dinner
More than all other condiments,
Although tits sprinkled thinner :
Just SO little woman is,
flove will let you win her;
There's not joy in all the world
You will not find within her.
And within the little rose
You find the richest dyes,
And in d little grain of gold
Much price and value lies;
As from little balsam
Much odor does arise,
So in little woman
There's O taste of Paradise.
The sky-lark and the nightingale,
Though small and light of wing,
Yet MARBLE sweeter in the grove,
Than all the birds that sing;
And SO little woman,
Though very little thing,
Is sweeter than all other sweets.
Zen flowers that bloom in spring.

Rod of life is more full of interest than
that of childhood. We watch the ex-

unfolding Of flower. Childhood is the
primrose season of life; and when we see

Of sunshine and happiness. We like
children and sympaibise in all their little

festivity they should never be forgotten.
Send them early to bed on Christmas eve

their suspended receptacles for the boun-

your duty in this respect. Please your

ROMANCE IN A SENATOR'S LIFE.-Fra.
zer's Magazine tells the following story,
but does not mention the name of its hero,
who is Senator Lane, Of Kansas.
"a distinguished politician of Indiana.
becoming interested in the movement for
making Kansas free State, left bis wife
and repaired to that territory. intending
to return soon. Becoming. however.
identified with the struggle of Kansas, the
Senator stayed away very long. His
wife at length demanded his return. He
wrote her back that it was impossible to
return. His wife waited a little, and
then wrote, declaring that unless be re.
turned by stated time, she should sue
for divorce. The Senator made no re-
ply, but gave glowing account Of the
patriotic movement in which he bore an
important part.
The next letter be received was from
the clerk of court in Indiana, informing
him that his wife had filed bill, with an
other from lawyer, offering to defend
him. The Senator wrote back to the law
yer as follows: Dear sir-Yours to hand.
Ny wife says she will not stand my long
absence. If l we're she l would not
stand it either. shall offer no opposi-
ton to her suit. Yours &c,
Two years later, when the divorce had
long been granted. the Senator returned
to Washington as Senator Of the free
State of Kansas, visited his old home in
Indiana, and found his wife still blooming
and handsome. and surrounded by admir-.
ers. With the rest, he visited her from
time to time, became presently the accepted
lover, and was married to her,"
