WOMEN would do well To remem-
ber-nor can the truth be impressed
upon them at too early an age-that
all the brilliant accomplishments, all
the solid information, all the learning
in the world, are worth nothing III
comparison to n patient, cheerful tenn
per, and an affection for, and perse-
verencc in, the moral and domestic
duties of life. Home ought to be the
temple of virtuous female: she may
leave it occasionally, and be happy
amid the beautiful fruits and flowers
ofthe world; but let her, like the bee,
gather honey from them all, and let
that honey be reserved for her own
dwelling, let it be a palace or . cot.

A sugge.sion Cor tl.e Ladies'.

If any of our pretty young ladies
should ever be called before the courts
as witnesses, we suggest to them the
following happy escape from telling
their age:
A certain French actress never
would tell her age, and OF course the
more she refused to tell it, the more
curious people were to know it. BY
good luek-as the multitude thought
-she was summoned as witness on
trial. The gossips rubbed their hands
and chuckled. "Ahal we shall know
it now. She must tell, or go to prison
for contempt of court" The court
was crowded with open-eared listen
ers. In French courts of justice the
witness does not stand in box to
give evidence, but sits on stool in
the middle of the floor of the court,
in front of the presidents desk, and
with no barrier or separation between
it and himself. The lady was ushered
in, raised her hand to heaven, took the
oath to speak the truth, and then seat
ed herself ON the witness stool.
''Your name ?" asked the president.
"Angelique Toujourtleurie. "
"Your profession 2"
"Artiste dramatique."
"Yonr age?"
You might have heard pin drop
in the court, and every eye was bent
on the lady. She was driven into a
corner at last /! Foolish Paris public
to think so! Angelique simply rose
from her seat, walked straight to the
presidents desk, and whispered the
secret in his ear. He nodded, made
the entry in his private notes, and,
smiling, continued the rest of his in
terrogatories as soon as she had re-
sumed her place on the stool. The
public retired with mingled feelings
of disgust and admiration. The trial
had lost all further interest, and the
president was known to be n man OF
honor and gallantry, who would never
let a pretty woman's cat escape from
his presidential bag.

An OLD HeRsE.-In I849, says the
Sutter Sentinel, an old horse, well known
in Yuba City as cold Dick" crossed the
Plains to this State at the age of sixteen
years. He has remained In this locality
ever since, rendering good service, until
within the past few years. He also work
ed in the first stage driven from Marys-
vile to Nevada, and up to the age of thir-
ty-one did good work in harness. To-day
he is thirty-four years old: and in appar-
ent good health. His present owner,
John Gelthauser, Esq, who has owned
him for sixteen or eighteen years, has
given him holiday for the rest of his
life, as reward for the good he has done.
John gives him bran and shorts three
times day, and beds him well at night,
that his days may be long, ETC.

What Republicans think and say
about Taxation.

q . . g
Harper's Weekly which has been for
years stimulating the passions of the peo.
pie, and bounding on Radicals, by pic
lures carieaturing the South, and appeals
to prejudice aud hate-begins to expert
ence sensation in his pocket, and ful-
inmates the following bull against the
"only loyal party styled by Greeley
"narrOw minded blockheads who would
like 20 serycsa great cause, but don't
know how !"
When such journals as Harper's Week
ly find fault with the action otthe Radical
party, It'll time the people began to look
at facts as they are and not be led cap
tives by their passions and prejudices-
After declaring that ''the great aud par
amount question of the day will soon be
the debt aud taxation Of the people, y
that paper says: ~.ss
I'VE cannot help thinking, and saying,
too, IN strict confidence to the readers OF
this journal, that stupid, and dull, aud
voiceless as the pnblic may be, he has
some rights which politicians viii sooner
or later have to recognize. He is now
paying a tax at the rate ofseyen per cent.
more than is paid by most heavily taxed
people of Europe. aud at the same time
he is paying for commodities ofall kinds
andlabor ffty-fve per cent, more than
any other people in the world In En-
gland the taxes are heavy, no doubt, but
food, clothing aud rent are cheap. In
Russia living is expensive, but the taxes
are light; but in the United States the
public groans under the simultaneous bur
den OF heavy taxes aud expensive living
We have n notion that, sooner or later
he will rebel against this load, and tha
the party who laid it on bis shoulders vii
itself be laid pretty low"
Every word of that is good CopperheaC
doctrine; and we are glad that the Har
pers and thousands ike them have con
cluded that it is time to "rebeP VS. "thi!
load, " aad shave notion that the party
which laid it on our shoulders will itsel
be laid pretty low"
We have been of this opinion for some
time. The fruits of radicalism begin Il
''sour on the stomach, !" in the shape of un
digested taxes ''higher than those in Rus
sia or England" and expensive living
90 to $50 per cent. higher than any 9th
er people in the world" If the East be
gins thus-EaStern Repu5licaHs-wha
marrow minded blockheads," Western
men are, to bear all these burdens Will
90 to $50 per cent. more added by tn,

dens upon US. Stupidity is no name 70
