Truths for Wives.

In domestic happiness, il may justly be said,
the wife's influence is much greater than her
husbands for the one, the first cause-mutGal
love and confdence-being granted, the whole
comfort of the household depends upon trifes
more Immediately under her jurisdiction. By
her management of small sums, her husbands
respectability and credit are created or destroy
ed. No fortunecan stand theconstant leasages
of extrayagance and mismanagement-and
more is spent in trihes than women would easl-
" believe. The one grand expense whateverit
NAV be. is turned over and carefully reflected
on, and the income is prepared to meet 1t but
it is pennies imperceptibly sliding away which
do mischief; and this the wife alone can stop,
for it does not come within mans province
There is often an unsuspected trihe to be saved
in every household.
1t is not in economy alono that the wifs's
attention is so necessary, but in those nicetes
which make a we'll regulated house. An un-
furnished c,uet-stand, missing key, button
less shirt, a soiled table cloth, a mustard pot
with its old, cold contents shaken down upon
it, are really nothing; but each can raise an
angry word and cause discomfort.
Depend upon it, there is great deal Of do
mestic happiness about well dressed mutton
chop, or tidy breakfast table. Men grow
sated Of beauty, tired of music, are often too
wearied for conversation, however Intellectual
but they can always appreciate well kept
hearth and smiling comfort.
A woman may love her husband devotedly
may sacrifice fortune, friends, family, country,
for him !; she may have the geniOus of a Sapho,
the enchanted beauties of an Armida; but
melancholy facts-if with these she fails to
make his home comfortable, his heart will in-
evitably escape her. And women live so en-
tirey in the affections, that without love their
existence is void. Better submit, then, to
household tasks, however repugnant they may
be to your tastes, than doom yourself to love-
less home. Women of a higher order Of mind
will not run this risk they know that their
feminine, their domestic, arc their first duties.

GrenadeS.

The NelC Fork Day Dock is constantly
throwing hot shot into the Republican ranks.
From it we clip the following:
In South Carolina the military dictator, the
tool of Congress and Grant, has ordered all
municipal elections suspended. In Virginia,
the same style of dictator orders the Legsla-
ture elected by the people not to assemble this
winter. In Mississippi the Granto-CongreS-
sional dictator orders ten days election in order
to scrape up all the negroes to the voting pla-
ccs. "Hoora for Congress" hoora" for
hoora for the devil and old 1'had - hoora
for Republican form Of government" "
The Sunday before electonin Massachusetts,,
all the ministers in the State prayed for the
success of entire prohibition. Behold the re-
suits of these prayers prohibition was badly
beaten, and the Democrats gained 10000 votes
in the State. If the rascals had prayed two
Sundays instead of one, we should probably
have swept the State.
Forney devotes column in the Philadelphia
Press to the subject of " free baths" His
whole party in the late elections received a
pretty free bath of about the coldest water that
was ever poured upon the heads Of refractory
rascals.
Where is John Browns soul marching now
since the elections, which have upset all his
principles and works? Where old Ben. Wade
and Thad. Stevens will be marching before
long, we fear.
The Mougrel leaders, it is said, boast that
they are not hurt much by the late elections
Then the reason must be- because the rascals
have been killed so dead, that they have lost
sensation.
What is the difference between the line y
of Gen. Grant and Mrs. Lincoln The one
was dead line, the other clothes line.

A NOVEL SUlT-A curious trial took place
recently at Elmira, n. Y. A man possessed
some nut trees; Of which the branches hung
over the ground Of neighbor, who picked uT
the ripe nuts that fell from the tree, and also
broke some branches. For this the latter was
prosecuted for theft and trespass, but was ac-
quilted on the ground that he was entitled tc
profit by fruit growing over his own property
Appeal was made from this decision, and the
Judgment reversed because the principles oi
civil law ordain that all fruit and branches be-
long to the stem, and the stem to him upon
whose ground it was planted, and that the
right Of property of the latter does not cease
with the extension over neighbors ground' DC
matter how far this extension The accused
was consequently condemned on both counts

their children is the ability to help and take

A cute lawyer, pleading for burglar, a.
paipst whom the case was clear, contended
that az his client had been caught before half
his body was introduced into the house where
the burglary was attempted, case could not
be made out against him, he asked the follow
ing question:
"Can man be said to enter house when
only one-half of his body is in and the other
half out 2"
To which the Judge replied: 81 shall lesv,
the whole matter to the jury; they must judge
Of the law and the facts proved"
The Jury returned verdict Of guilty al
to one-half Of the body, from the waist up, anc
not guilty as to the other half. The Judg'
sentenced the guilty half to two years impris
onment, leaving it optional with the prisone
to have th. "not guilty" half cut of or takei
along with him.

All Are Not Dead Who Die.

All are not dead who die; they live for aye,
The just, the good, the brave;
From Kindred breasts they never pass away,
Though pent in the dark grave.
All are not dead who die; Death cannotki
The memory Of the loved;
Yelled from our vision, they are with US still
Whose hearts the years have proved.
We may not see them, but in the dark storms
Falling lite's pathway oft,
Then gather near US dear departed forms,
Whispering US, "Look aloftP
That sea engulphed them whose obliyiOus wave
Whems into its deep bed
All that has been, or is, or may be, save
The Memory Of the Dead.
All are not dead who die; they linger yet
Anong US, and we feel
Their ever blessed influence or forget
Daath and the grave are real.
All zrc not dead who die. In Lethe's tide
TIE Past is swallowed up;
Still memory gives to loved ones who have died
An Overiiowing cup.

deservedly popular, had just finished an eXhor-
tation recommending the support Of certain
very meritonous institution. The congTega-
ton was numerous, and the chapel was crowd
ed TO excess. The discourse being finished, tho
plate was about 10 be handed round 70 the re-
spective pews, when the preacher made this
short address 10 the congregation:
"From the sympathy | have witnessed in
your eountenances, and the strict attention you
have honored me with, there is one thing that
I am afraid of-thst some Of you may be IN
elined 10 give too much. Now, 1t is my duty
20 inform you that justice, though not SO pleas

DoEs IT PAY TO ADvERTIsE.-A gentleman
doing business in Boston, while travelling in
the cars year or two since took copy of the
London Punch with which to relieve the mo-
notony of a tedious journey; and having fin
ished reading its well stocked columns of
fact and fancy" took to reading the adver-
tisements. At last, in remote corner. he dis
covered an announcement, about half an inch
in length. which told him where an article he
dealt largely in could be procured in England;
and being one of the shrewd, sharp kind Of
men, he wrote the parties for price list, the
result Of which was that he sent them an order
amounting to several hundred pounds ster-
ling. and during the year his partner, visiting
Europe. left another large order, aud they still
remain good customers. All this was the re-
suit of the half inch advertisement. Who will
say that it does not pay to advertise?

POETICAL.
Indian Summer.

Just before the death of the flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes festival season,
When nature is all aglow--
Aglow with a mystical splendor
That rivals the brightness OF Spring
Aglow with a beauty more tender
Than aught which fair Summer could bring.
Some spirit akin to the rainbow
Then bOrrows its magical dyes,
And mantles the fsr-spreading landscape
In hues that bewider the eyes.
The sun from his cloud -pilowed chamber,
Smiles soft on a vision so CAV,
And dreams that his favorite children,
The Flowers, have not yet passed away.
There's luminous mist on the mountains,
A light azure haze in the air.
As if angels, while heavenward soaring,
Had left their bright robes floating there;
The breeze is so soft, so caressing,
1t seems a mute token Oflove,
And floats to the heart like blessing
From some happy spirit above.
These davs so serene and so charming,
Awaken dreamy delight
4 tremulous, fearful enjoyment,
Like soft strains Of music at night;
We know they are fading and fleeing,
That quickly, too quickly, they'll end,
And we watch them with yearning affection
As at parting we watch dear friend.
Oh beautiful Indian Summerl
Thou favorite child OF tue year
Thou darling, whom Nature enriches
With gifts and adornments so dear.
How fain would we WOO thee 10 linger
On mountain and meadow awhile,
For our hearts, like the sweet haunts of Nature
Rejoice and grow young in thy smile.
Not alone to the sad fields of Autumn,
Dost thou lost brightness restore,
But thou bringest a wOrld-weary spirit
Sweet dreams of its childhood once more.
Thy loveiness fills us with memories
or all that was brightest and best
Thy peace and serenity offer
1 foretaste Of heavenly rest.
