The following is from the "Reveries
of "A Bachelor" by Ike Marvel:
"a poor man without some sort of
religion Is, at best, poor reprobate, the
foot ball OF destiny, with no tie linking
him to intinity and to the wondrous
eternity that is even worse-a flame
without heat, II rainbow without color,
n flower without perfume. A man may,
in some sort, tie his hopes and his hon
ors to this weak, shifting ground tackle,
to his business, or the world, but wo-
man, without that anchor called faith,
is drift and n wreck! A man may
clumsily continue a sort of moral re :
Sponsibility out of relation to mankind;
but woman. in her comparatively
isolated sphere, where affection and not
purpose is the controlling motive, can
lind no basis in any other system or
right action but that of faith. A man
may craze his brain or his thoughts to
trust, fullness, in such poor harborage
as fame and reputation may stretch be-
fore him, but a woman-wherec can she
put her hopes in storms if not in heav-
ell? And that sweet trustfulness-thut
abiding love-that enduring hope, mel
lowing every page and scene of lie
lighting them with pleasant radiance,
when the worlds storms break like an
army with cannon? Who can bestow
its all but holy soul, tied to what is
stronger than an army with cannon
Who has enjoyed the love OF Christian
mother but will echo the thoughts with
energy, and hallOw it with tear?"

Importance OF Immigration Rs u
Source OF Wealth 10 the Country,
and as an Aid In paying the National
DebI.--An Estimate tn Cash of late
Arrivals
AS source of wealth, important in
its connection with the payment OF the
national debt, sufficient prominence is
not given to the immigration of grown,
able. bodied men and women daily ar
irving in this country. We count the
value of our great staples annually pro-
duced, and parade the amount as an
acquisition to the resources of the ma
tion, adding to its credit and enabling
it the more easily to meet liabilities,
and lessen taxation, but we rarely see
any account made Ofthe value and i'm
portance of this free gift of matured
human beings. Since the lst OF jan
uary last to the 9TH instant, the number
of immigrants arrived at the port Of
New York alone was l54, 299. About
the ,sameInumber arrived in the corre-
spOnding time last yeRr-sO that the in
fluX is steady and unabatipg. During
the month OF June, 39,O1S immigrants,
OF whom % SD were males, arrived ut
New York. This only includes those
who took steeraBe passage. Doubtless
nine out of ten of them are destined for
the far West, as has been the case with
nearly all the foreigners who have
reached our shores since The termina-
ton of the war. OF one thousand and
thirty-three who reached Columbus,
Ohio, in one week, 347 purposed locating
in Ohio. 247 in Missouri, lS7 in Illinois,
93 in kentucky, 81 in Indiana. 81 in
Wisconsin, - in Minnesota, Is III Iowa.
and 9 in Nebraska. The Southern
States.have been remiss in not having
their agents at the North to button-hole
the immigrants on their arrival, and
persuade them TO proceed thither. As
a feature worth noting in this con-
nee ion, nearly three-fourths of the ar
rivals this year at New York were by
steam vessels, and were about equally
divided, Germans and Irish. The num-
ber coming from all other countries was
but small fraction of the whole. The
steam conveyance is evidence of the
improved character and condition OF
the immigrants. To come by steam
proves the command OF means, at least
sufficient to put them into productive
pursuits. But besides any amount OF
property brought with them, 1t is Il low
estimate to put down every immigrant
as worth the country possessing his ser
vices at least one thousand dollars.
The cost of rearing a child to maturity
is worth more in the country where
living is cheapest. 1t is much greater
here in the United States. Setting down
then the number of arrivals from the
old countries to new homes here, at all
the ports of the country for the year,
at 800 ,OOO, and the value of these at $1,000
cash, and we have an aggregate addi-
;iun to the wealth and resources of the
country from this source alone, of three
hitndred millions Of dollars! This is an
item that ought not to be omitted in
enumerating the resources of the coun-
FRI tn Thn hn ri hon nf the lhlip
debt, nor have we at all over estimated
its value and lmportance.

The Herald called immediate atten-
ton to the unique work in which
Queen Victoria lately made her first aP-
pearance as II royal author, and sur.
prised the world by an extraordinary
revelation of her ''love life" Six thou
sand copies of the first volume OF this
work have already been sold, and II
remarkable production has appeared
since Solomon's Songs, the lliad and
the Odyssey, and the Metamorphoses
or Ovid. The sovereign OF mighty
empire, on which the sun never sets
and is always rising, and the mother OF
as many children as John Rogers wife,
without counting the mythical
during her comparative retirement
from her public duties, an autobio-
graphical.narrative which surpasses in
curious Interest all the memorials OF
burning Sappho, who loved and sang
in the isles OF Greece, and finally leap
ed from the Leucadian rock; of Zeno-
bia, the naughty but not heartless
Queen OF Palmyra; of Caesars and
Antony's Cleopatra; of Aspasia and her
court OF Athenian philosophers, ora
tors, and statesmen; of Hypatia, Cy-
rfl's victim, and Charles Kingsley S
heroine; of Leicester's Elizabeth; OF
Mary, Queen of Scots and of all mems
hearts; of Abelard's Hsloise; in short,
of all other illustrious Rousseaus OF the
feminine gender that have ever lived
and loved.
Ofall biographies and autobiograph-
les, Queen Vlctoria's book will be most
widely read and admired, sneered at
and ridiculed. Even loyal English
reviewer pauses in the midst of his eu-
logies upon 1t to admit that 1--WE want

Queen Victoria and her cousin"
"When," he says, "Queen Victoria
shall have become to her people what
Elizabeth is, the chief light of her age,
the central point of human interest ia
her Teign-when all the trifleS of her
generation are dispersed into air, and
only the great realities are left in recol-
lection-the tale of her love, her hap
piness, her loss, her sorrow, Will be the
favorite theme of all poets and story
tellers." And, he adds, 1.-The millions
who will fondly dwell upon this story
of a human heart will treat with scorn
those cynics and seekers who, in our
day, fail to see the beauty of life
which eXalts human nature above fash
ionable society, aud raises the woman
high above the Queen" Mean
while, as this enthusiastic reviewer Hd :
mits, 1.-The mellOwing air OF time and
space" is wanting, and the comics OF
aristocratic and fashionable society in
Great Britain will not refrain from
laughing, at least in their sleeve, at this
extraordinary story OF royal love lie.
But millions of women, from fifteen to
thirty-five years of age, in the middle
and lower classes, will pore, ,iand pom
der, and weep over it, and adopt it as
their text book. AS such, it bids fair to
have a larger circulation than any 9TH
er book, except King James, version OF
the Holy Bible. To most readers in
this trans-ALlantic republic, however,
il seems like nothing that has hold on
the present time, with its prac ical reali-
ties, but rather like a resurrection OF
some old romance that has been lying
buried amid the forgotten rubbish of
the Middle Ages.

FFpni The Rnorrile Fhig. AugtlStlI
Just as our paper is being put to
press, a street fight has taken place in
this city between Hon. Horace Maynard
and the late Rebel candidate for Con-
gress in this district, John Williams.
The facts, as we have learned them, are
as follows:
On yesterday Mr.. Maynard addressed
a vast assemblage at cambridge, Jeffer-
son county, on the occasion of the cele-
bration of The great Radical Union vic
tory. On returning from the depot to
his residence, he met Williams, who,
without saying a word, struck at Tim
with a big stick. Maynard warded of
the blow aimed at his head, by throw
ing up his left arm, receiving thereon a
slight bruise. Immediately after the
first blow struck by Williams, Maynard
caught him by the throat with his left
hand, and with the finger-nails of his
right gouged him in the eyes, binding
him for "a time, while he gouged and
scratched the eyes and face OF his an
tagouist, and, before they could be
separated, Maynard severely chastised
him.
1t is said Williams attempted, during
the melee, to draw a deadly weapon.
Whether this is true or not we do not
know, but this we do know, and every
person who witnessed the fight will
vouch for the same, that Horace May
nard, unarmed, got the better of his
antagonist, who iDds armed, and that
Maynard showed the pluck of one OF
the "blue hens chickens
