Miscellaneous.
rrntI,s for Wires.

In domestic happiness the wife's infiu-
ence is much greater than the husbands !;
for the one the mutual cause-mutual love
and eonfidence-being granted, the whole
comfort of the household depends upon
trifies more Immediately under her juris-
diction by her management of small sums,
her husbands responsibility and credit are
created or destroyed. No fortune can
stand the constant leakages or eXtrava-
gance of mismanagement-an more IS
spent in trifles than women would easily
easily believe. The one great expense,
whatever it may be, is turned over and
carefully reflected on, and the income Is
prepared to meet it; but it is pennies i'm
perceptibly gliding away which do mis-
chief; and this the wife alone can stop, for
it does not come within the mans prov
ince. There is often an unsuspected trifie
to be saved in every household.
Depend upon it, there is great deal OF
domestic happiness about a well dressed
mutton chop, or a tidy breakfast table.
Men grow stated 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 devoted
ly-may sacrifice fortune, family, country
for him; she may have the genius oi
Sappho, the enchanted beauties of an Ar
mida; but-melancholy fact-it with these
she fails to make home comfortable, his
heart will inevitably escape her. And
women live so entirely in the affections
that without love their existence is void
Better submit, then, to household tasks
however repugnant they may be to your
taste, than doom yourself to a loveless
home. Women of higher mind will moi
run this risk; they know that their dcmes-
tic are their first duties.

but too clearly he means what he has
said. He now claims the right to
trample under his feet laws and Con-
stitutiOn whenever they embarrass
him in his reasonable purposes and
we are no longer left to doubt his ul-
innate designs or the duty the hour
demands of US. AS he is striking at
the life of the nation we must regard
him as public enemy and strike
back. Past forbearance has only en-
cOuraged him in his crimes and in
creased the boldneSs with which he
declares and executes them bad men
have his ear and confidence and bad
cOunsels control his action, and unless
he is restrained at once no one can cal
Gu tate the injury he may infict upon
the country. Sir, we are told by the
friends of the President on this floor
that it is revolutionary to bring often
ders to justice. Il it is for just such
purposes laws are made it IS to pun
ish crime, and thereby conserve the
public welfare and if there ever was
time when a great example was
needed, that time has come, and a
greater offender could not be found
than Andrew johnson. Let him be
put upon trial, and if guilty lead him
out of the high place he has so great
ly dishonored, to bear through life
the scorn and contempt of the people
whose confidence he has betrayed,
whose laws he has violated, and
whose peace he seems to have resolved
to destroy forever.

Sugar SuasiOIl.

Rev. II. W. Beecher, in the Ledger,
discusses his dissent from the wisdom
of Solomon in the management of
children. He would not only Hspare
the rod, ," but give up its use altogether,
For the rod he would substitute the
stick, not the stick of birch, but the
stick of candy. He says:
CAS- for ourselves, we tried the rod
on our own children, but are now try
ing the sugar-pIum with our grand
children. Family government has ris-
en- in popularity. Children cry for it.
Our children used to look with aversion
on the spot where we used to lock up
the switch; but now there is not in the
whole house a place so favOrite as the
drawer where is stored thesweet moral
suasiOn. Good conduct thrives. Obe-
dience is at a premium! The viii is
broken! The children are governed
without knowing it, Blessings on
sugar -pIums!"

Do all of our lady readers know the
origin of the word "Hymen'? fnOt,
here it is:
Hymen was a young man Of Athens,
obscurely born, but extremely hand
some. Falling in love with lady OF
rank, he disguised himself in female
attire. the better to carry on his amour;
and, as he was one day on the sea-shOre
celebrating the Eleusinian rites with
his mistress and female companion, a
gang of pirates came upon them by sur
prise. and carried them off to a distant
island, where the pirates got drunk for
iov and fell asleep. Hymen then arm
ed the virgins and dispatched the
sleeping pirates, when leaving the
two women upon the island, he
sped to Athens, told his adventure,
and demanded his beloved in marriage
as her ransom. His request was grant
ed; and so fortunate was the marriage
that the name Hymen was ever after
invoked on all future nuptials; and ir
progress of time the Greeks enrolled
him among their gods.

ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH.-The
groundwork of all manly character Is
veracity, or the habit of truthfulness.
That virtue lies at the foundation Of
every thing else. How common it is
to hear parents say have faith in my
caild so long as it speaks the truth.
He may have faults, but 1 know he
will not deceive. build on that conf
dence." They are right. 1t is just and
lawful ground to build upon. So long
as the truth remains in a child, there is
something to depend on; but when
truth is gone all is lost, unless the child
is speedily won back again to veracity.
Children! did you ever tell a lie? Ii
so, you are in imminent danger. Re-
turn at once, little reader, ana enter
the stronghold of truth, and from il
may you never depart.

A Southern View Of Impeach-
ment.

The following extract is from letter
written by a gentleman in Georgia to
a merchant in New York. What he
says is beyond doubt the simple truth
in regard to the result of impeach-
ment:
awe are not sorry to learn that
Mr.. johnson is to be removed from
office. But for him, this State and a
half dozen others would have follow
ed Tennessee in accepting the COnsti-
tutional Amendment, by which we
should have been represented at Wash
ington twelve months since. The
evils Mr.. Johnson has inflicted upon
the South by his efforts to thwart the
views of Congress have been second
only to the spoliatiOns Of war; but, de
pend upon it, within sixty days after
his removal we shall have gradual
return of quiet and prosperity through
out the South. Remember what
say"

A contrivance to INDICATE to railway
passengers the station which they are
approaching, its distance from the one
last passed, and from that point to each
terminus of the roads, has been inven-
ted by Thomas Payne, a conductor on
the Detroit and Milwaukee railroad.
It is placed in the center of the car
and has two arms projecting about two
feet from each side of the car, which,
coming in contact with posts placed fol
the purpose, turn the Indicator imme-
diately after leaving each station.
