Only let the woman be sure that she
is precious to her husband--not useful,
not valuable, not convenient, simply but
lovely and beloved; let her be the re-
cipient of his polite hearty attentions
let her feel that her care, and love are
noticed, appreciated and returned; let
her opinion be asked, her approval be
sought, and her Judgment respected in
matters of which she is cognizant; in
short let her only be loved, honored and
cherished, in fultillment of the marriage
vow, and she will be to her husband,
her children and society, q well-spring
OF pleasure. She will bear a pain, and
toll, and anxiety, for her husbands love
is, to her, a tower and fortress. Shielded
and sheltered therein, adversely will
have its sting. She may suffer, but
sympathy will dull the edge Of sorrow.
A house with love in it-and by love
I mean love expressed in words, and
looks and deeds, for | have not one
spark Of faith in love that never crops
outs to a house without love as q
person to a machine; one is life, the
other ismechanism. The unloved woman
may have bread just as light, a house
just as tidy as the other; but the latter
has a spring Of beauty about her, a joy
BUSINESS, an aggressive and penetrating
and pervading brightness to which the
former is a stranger. The deep happi-
ness in her heart shines out in her face.
She CLEANS over it. 1t is airy and gay,
and graceful and warm, and welcoming
with her presence; she is full of devices
and plots, and sweet surprises for her
husband and family; she has never
done with the romance of life; she her.
self, is lyric poem, setting herself to
all pure and gracious melodies. Humble
household ways and duties have for her
golden significance. The prize makes
the calling high, and the end sacrifices
the merns. Love is heaven, and
heaven is love-"

der with you through the four years of
terrible wal, are truly lOydl You, at least
will never question their fidelity to and
their affection for the Union and the
Constitution.
Whatever differences of opinion may
exist, now that the war is over, and the
instruction quelled, between those who
together offered their lives a constant
and willing sacrifice, that the life of the
nation might be saved, let no crimina-
tlons or re- examinations mar or disturb
that mutual respect and esteem, which
should ever be cherished by those who
have shared common danger, in con.
tending for a common cause. We were
brothers during the dark days of the
Rebellion, let us remain friends amid
the brighter days of Peace. And as we
carried desolation into the South when
she was hostile and defiant, let us unite
in rendering to her not only just, but
generous treatment, now that she is SUBJ
dued and disarmed. 1t we but do this,
if we but evidence the magnanimity of
spirit, always polite from the victor to
the commemorative honor and the pride
Of the Southern soldiers and Southern
people will so respond that our beloved
Union shall be stronger, better, and
firmer than ever before.
May the God of our Fathers, who, by
his blessing, enabled them through q
seven years war to establish the Union,
and we their sons to vindicate it in
the late terrible struggle, grant Us his
aid and assistance in our efforts to rees
tablish and perpetuate it.
Liberal applause greeted the address,
during its reading, and, at the close, a
wild scene ensued; the delegates spring
ing to their feet, Selling the little flags
from off the stand, and waving them in
the air. amid deafening cheers.

The "Tar and Turpentine Committee"
of which that sulphurous son of Satan,
Brownlow, is the head and the'negro
man, Randolph, is the tail, are still
upon their tour, moving about like a
huge and odoriferous polecat. The
Northern Radicals who at first deter
mined to accompany this menagerie of
unclean Southern reptiles have long
since left, in utter horror and disgust,
and even one Norton, who, it was sup
posed, had a stomach strong enough to
enable him to hibernate with a family
of Esquimaux Indians, has fled from
them and exposed their incredible beast
illness and diabolism.
Hunnicutt and BroWnloW are the
chaplains of the troupe, and their OBJ
scenity, blasphemy and mendacity would
make the blacklist freedman, if he was
decent man, turn pale and grow faint
with horror and disgust and loathing.
Efunnicutt is reported by the Northern
papers to have said at Schenectady that
if the next Congress did not give the
negroes the right of suffrage, I'VE tthe
negroes and Hunnicutt) will roll up our
sleeves and have the damndest revo-
luton the world ever saw"

THE AGED CHRIsTIAN.-If nearness
to home after a weary journey is ealcu-
lated to cheer the heart and revive the
soul, the aged believer ought to be ii
very happy man, for he has, through
the merits of his Redeemer, an unspeak-
ably happy home before him, the trans,
cendant delights of which no mortal
tongue can describe-a home where sin
and sorrow shall never enter, and where
joy and happiness shall be unsullied for
evermore. To such a home the child OF
God is journeying. What 4 comforting
thought this is for the evening OF life:
going honle-going to brighter scenes,
and purer enjoyments, and holier com
panions; going to be with the Lord.
Such prospect as this lightens the bur
iens Of years, and makes old age
happy period III the Christians life.

Eello1s-5S0ldiers and Sailors Of the 11nay
and the Nary Of the Union:
More than fifteen months have elapsed
since you were released from service and
permitted to return to your homes, with
s the assurance of the country that your
work was done, and that the rebellion
was substantially suppressed. For four
years, on the ocean and in fields stretch
! ing from Gettysburg to New Orleans,
you had fought in order to restore the
Integrity of the nation, and you rested
from your tolls with the conviction that
it only remained for statesmen to rivet
the broken bands which you had laid
together. You knew that their task re-
K quired wisdom and deliberation but
you had right to expect that, like your
own, it would be taken up promptly
and conducted with singleness of pur-
pose. You had yourselves left party ties
behind when you marched to the field,
= and thenceforth knew only your country.
You had right to demand that, in the
peaceful completion of your work, they
would follow your example. You eX-
pected that those who had called upon
you to suppress, not only revolution, but
the spirit of revolution, and to vindicate
the violated law, would set a new eX-
ample to the nation, bya strict adherence
to their own constitutional powers, re-
vival Of the old spirit of sacred Obedi-
ence to law, and a stern fOrbearance to
usurp in the hour of temptation. You
expected, and, after the performance of
such services, you had a peculiar right
to demand, that your successors in the
work of restoration should not only
devise measures which should be just,
but propose them at season when they
should be practicable, and that by means
of these measures, the people of the
South should long since have been sub
jected to all the penalties which the
vindication of the law demanded, and
brought back to the performance OF all
their duties to this nation, and to a real
participation in its life.
For more than a year you have looked
ON in silence, and the work for which
you provided the opportunity, has not
vet been done. Your successors have
acted neither wisely nor in season. That
which might have been we'll and justly
accomplished, if proposed at the proper
time, has been made impracticable by
delay; and condition, which it would
have been of doubtful wisdom to impose
at any time, is at last imposed when it
is too late. After you had been with
drawn from the field because you had
annihilated the power of your opponents
to disobey their government, an entire
year was added to their already long es-
arrangement from it, before any con-
ditions of return were offered to them !;
and when these conditions were at last
announced, they contained terms which
proposed to make the arrangement OF a
large part of our population perpetual.

THE CLEVELAND CONVENTION.
RESOLUTIONS AND ADDRESS.

We present below the Resolutions and
Address put forth by the great Con-
vention of Soldiers and Sailors, held in
Cleveland on the 18th of September, to
which we invite the attention of our
readers:
RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY THE CON-
VENTION.
The Hon. Lewis d. Campbell, Of Ohio,
in his inimitable style read the follow
ing resolutions, which were loudly
cheered, and passed by a unanimous
vote:
The Union Soldiers and Sailors who
served in the Armies and Navy of the
United States, in the recent war for the
suppression of the instruction, the
maintenance of the Constitution, the
government, and the Flag Of the Union,
are grateful to Almighty God for his
preservation of them, through the perils
and hardships Of war, and for His
mercy in erowning their efforts with
Victory, Freedom, and Peace-deploring
the absence from their midst of many
brave and faithful comrades who have
sealed with their life-blood their de-
votion to the sacred cause of American
Nationality, and determined now as
heretofore to stand by the principles for
which the glorious dead have fallen,a
by Which their survivors have triumph
ed, being assembled in National Mass
Convention, in the City of Cleveland,
Ohio, this 18th day of September, 1866,
do resolve and declare,
! /. That we heartily approve the reso-
buttons adopted by the National Union
Convention held in the City Of Phila-
delphia on the l4th day of August last,
composed of delegates representing all
the States and Territories of the United
States.
2. That our object in taking up arms
to suppress the late rebellion, was " to
defend and maintain the supremacy Of
the Constitution, and to preserre the Union
Nth oil the dignity, equality oa'd rights
4 of the sereral States aoainpaired," and
!" not in any spirit of oppression, or for
any spirit Of conquest and subjugatlon, =
and that whenever there shall be any
armed resistance to the lawfully consti-
tuted authorities of our National Union,
either in the South or in the North, in
the East or in the West, emulating the
self-sacrifcing patriotism of our Revo-
lutionary forefathers, we will again
pledge to its support "our lives, our for
tunes and our sacred honors."
After Col. Campbell had finished read
ing the resolutions of the Convention,
Gen. George p. Este read to the as
sembled delegations the following

CANAL LETTINGs-It 1t has been seldom, if
ever before, that canal lettings have taken place in
Owego, yet that phenomenon actually occurred in
Owe9o yesterday. According to a notice which
appeared i'll this paper ten additional miles of the
CRenango Canal Extension were put under con-
tract. The Hon B. F. Bruce Canal Commission
er, had charge of the lettings, assisted by a num-
Der of Engineers. The number of bidders was
large almost all gentlemen from distant who
have made the canal business a profession The
present lettings will bring the canal to within
two miles of this village, but if as we anticipate
the monies already set apart for the Chenango Ca
nal Extension shall be reappropriated and an ad-
ditional appropriation secured additional letting
will at once be made 1t is expected that by next
fall the canal may be open to this place and fully
ready for operations in the spring. The citizens
of Iloga County and of the Chenango Valley on up
to Utlca are under many obligations to Canal
Commissioner Bruce for his answering fidelity to
this important public work. Having full faith in
the good which this Extension viii confer on this
portion Of the State and ON to Albany he has been
