FEMALE INFlUENcE.-I have notice

FEMALE INFlUENcE.-I have noticed
that married man falling into misfor-
tune, is more apt to retrieve his situation in
the world than single one, chiefly because
his spirits are soothed and relieved by do
mestic endearments, and self-respect kept
alive, by finding that, although abroad be
darkness and humiliation, yet there is still
a little world of love at home Of which he
IS monarch. Whereas, a single man is apt
to run to waste and self-neglect-to fall to
ruins like some deserted mansion, for want
of inhabitants. I have often had occasion
to mark the fortitude with which women
sustain the most overwhelming reverses Of
fortune. Those disasters which break
down the spirit of man, and PROSTATE him
in the dust, seem to call forth all the ener,
gies of the softer sex, and give such intre
pidity and elevation to their character that
at times it approaches sublinity.- Wash

GENTLE UTTERANcE.-When a boy Of
fourteen, following a plow drawn by oxen,
our father said, the first day of work, ''Let
us see who can talk lowest to Buck and
Bright; it isn't sound that makes the team
90, but the understanding that springs up
between driver and team" The thing was
new to our ears. We had always heard
the "woa haw, Buck" or the "woa haw,
Bright" given in tones of baw!ing only,
and grown to the belief that DaT5lng really ca !
experience on the low keys showed me that
an OK, dumb and slow as some call him:
had not only show of intellect, but also Of
the proprieties of his position. Buck and
Bright answered as readily to a few words
quietly spoken as to the many vociferated
The above short lesson contains moral
which many parents and teachers would dc
well to consider and practice.

THE GREAT MORAL MANTILINI.

It is little surprising to find so trucu
lent being as the venerable and vitupera
!. tive Thad. Stevens, subsiding into an iml
tator of so frivolous and unsubstantial
creature as Dickens ideal, Mantilini. Ye
such is the phenomenon which the TRIBUNE
and other Radical journals daily force upor
the attention of mankind. Mr.. Mantilini't
leading popularity, beside his passion TO,
that sdemnition foine" apple, his wife, was
an Unsuitable thirst of death. At all ode
hours of the day he was necessarily com
mitting suicide, and making of himself 8
ssdemnition cold, damp, unpleasant body
Yet whenever his friends took him at his
word, and devoted as Mother Hubbard tc
her dog, went forth to provide for the de,
cent interment of his remains, they always
found they had gone on as bootless an er'
rand as she.
"She went out to buy her poor dog coffin,
But when she came back the dog was loffin."
Likewise it was with Mantilini. Like
wise is it with Thad. Stevens. Not once
nor twice, but twenty times during the last
six months, has the nation been invited to
prepare its most elaborate ululations for
the funeral of the 'sgreat Commoner." A
gain and again have special photographers
been sent for to Washington to take special
views of the House of Representatives on
the expected melancholy occasion. Sundry
Loyal Leagues, fully anticipating that
the euthansy of Stevens waited to Heaven
on Impressions of "trooly loil' vengeance,
will make as fine theme for the artist as
the last effort of England's really "great
Commoner" dying in the defence of free
dom's greatest rebellion, have kept their pet
painters at Jersey City for weeks, ready
to leave for Washington on telegram. I'm
mense efforts have been made, not wholly
without success, to invest the mock trial OF
the impeachment with sort of Fictitious
solemnity, by pathetic representations OF
the ssdying" leader of the Radicals lifting
| his skinny and moribuhd arms with fever
ish unnatural energy to strike this long last
blow in defence of "great moral ideas!"
But still the dying man dies not. On
the contrary, every fresh announcement
of his Immediately impending demise is sure
to be followed, within twenty-four hours, by
a particularly ferocious outburst of Radical
spite and rage from the lips which we are
so constantly assured are on the point OF
receiving the awful seal of Azrael.
In the name of decency and humanity,
we submit that of this sort of thing the
country has had enough. Is nothing to be
held sacred? Patriotism, honor, loyalty
all these grand old words we have seen
prostituted to the basest uses, till the sound
of them becomes as the "Nehushtan" of
Scripture, 'mere BRASS in mems ears
Let us at least be spared the spectacle of
Death debauched to drum up the passions
of party; of life's supreme solemnity a.
bused to salve with reverence the malignant
utterances of an old man whose gray hairs
have not brought him wisdom, and whose
own suferings have taught him no mercy
for his kindly. Y. World.

Bay A French paper tells some anecdotes
of the principal oratorsin the French Cham
ber, which, if not true, are at least anu
sing. One day, it says, when M. Jules
Favre was speaking, NJ. Rouher fell asleep.
When the eloquent Radical leader ended
his speech, NJ. Vuitry walked his colleague,
telling him he must reply. "What did ne
talk about p rejoined M. Rouher. M. W.
itry having described in few words the
subject Of debate, NJ: Rouher assembled the
tribune, and in speech of three-quarters
of an hour triumphantly demolished the
arguments of his opponent. When he re.
turned to his seat he laughingly reproached
NJ. Vuitry for having walked him from the
pleasantest nap he had enjoyed for long
time. The speeches of M. Berryer are
also conceived on the spur of the moment,
and he attaches so little value to them af-
ter they have been delivered that he never
corrects the reports, as most Of the mem
bers do. Once, on being urgently reques-
ted by the head of the reporters to revise
an important speech which he had delivered
that evening, he replied: 81 read my own
speeches? You mi ght as we'll offer me soup
after coffee" NJ. Theirs, on the other hand,
corrects the reports of his speeches with
great care. After an important debate, ne
usually passes the night in the office OF the
Moniteur, going over the proofs word Tor
word, and keeping himself awake by drink
inc chocolate.

WE WILL NEVER LEAVE THE LAND

The following lines, says the Albany
Nevs, which we find in the Baltimore r.
piseopaz Methodist, are from the pen OF
Rev. George G. Smith, jr., son and fight
ing chaplain of Georgia. He was severely
wounded in the late war, but, as We see, is
still able and willing to WELD his pen in be-
half of ssthe land our grand old fathers won
from forest and foe"
Comrade! YOU stood beside me
In the hottest-of the fight,
And you braved the storm Of battle
With all q strong mans might!
Now, comrade, stand up nearer,
Grasp me firmly by the hand
And swear by Heaven with me
You will never leave the land
IT'S the land our grand old fathers
Won from forest and from foe,
Made theirs by noble daring,
And with many bloody blow
Our sisters here lie buried,
And here our mothers lie!
Our bones must rest beside them,
When God wills that we shall die.
We cannot yield to menials
And to strangers hard and cold
We cannot yield the grave yard,
And our fathers mansions old!
And no threat of chains and halter,
And no threat of prison cell,
Shall drive us weeping exiles
From the land we love so wellI
We have not feared the battle,
Nor the rain and chilling wind!
We shall not shrink from suffering,
As shrinks the craven hind!
And doing well and suffering well
Shall pass away the night,
And all its sorrows be forgot,
In the glory of the light!
Then trust in God. my brother!
Our fathers God and ours,
Who has blessed US such sunshine
Such fruits and glowing flowers,
And, comrade, we'll not leave her,
But bide with her till we die!
And i'm her sacred bosom
Shall our wearied bodies lie.

POLISHING RUSTY PLows.-Much labor
and time now annually expended in scour-
ing plows might be saved by the simple
process which we append. 1t is certainly
better to scour house implements of every
kind, but all farmers cannot do this, and
even when it is done, plows will frequently
become rusty. Those who wish to spare
themselves the trouble of polishing a rusty
mould-board in the ordinary way, should
have recourse to muriatic acid, which will
not touch the iron, but will render the rust
soluble and easily removed. A furrow OF

SELECTING A Cow.-It is sometimes the
case that the best judges will be deceived.
A cow of very promising appearances,
coarse in the neck, large boned, and second
or third rate milk marks generally, will
now and then turn out to be frst.rate,
while another, with these marks largely
developed, fine in the head and neck, and
promising in every way, will prove unsat-
isfactory. But a failure IN this case is rare
Let the head be light, the forehead broad,
the horn rather thin and clear, the eye clear
and prominent, the neck thin, and the fore
quarters rather light, the back straight,
the hind quarters we'll developed, wide over
the loins, the carcass deep, the udder COM
ing forward and well shaped, the skin soft
to the touch, the teats well set, not too
large nor two small, the tail long and thin,
like whip lash. Such COW ought to be
q good one.-Ploughn'an.

B@- The thrifty, prudent farmer-onein-
terested in his business, and he who pursues
it rs we'll for the love of it as for the pro-
fit it will surely afford if conducted with sys-
tenn and economy-is constantly engaged
in fixing up his premises, and putting them
in more convenient and thorough order. He
spends no stormy days at the country vii
lage, as do his less prudent neighbors, nor
does he have any spare hours in which to
loaf at the country shop or store. His time
is better employed. In winter as well as
summer heh his stormy day work planned
beforehand, reserving to be performed at
such time some needed job that can be done
without interfering with the regular work
of the farm on pleasant days. But while
constantly active and watchful that no time
be lost or wasted, he always has plenty of
time to receive and make calls upon his
neighbors, attend to necessary business that
frequently calls him away from home, and
store his mind with useful knowledge. 1t is
this very attention to his home duties, this
outstanding of his time, this constant care
to the little necessary fxings of his farm
and buildings that enables him to keep be-
fore his work and have time for days
leisure without being driven by his bust
ness. Not only are the more important
matters upon his farm attended to, but the
little details are not overlooked. While
his fields are smooth and productive, his
fences upright and permanent, and his
buildings we'll painted and in good repair,
at the same time the windows of his house
are not stuffed with old rags, the latches
and handles to his doors are perfect, and
the numberless little conveniences, quite in
expressive in themselves, but which renders
set of farm buildings so convenient and
handy, are to be found at every turn.

: THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

The bank of England possesses singular
traditions and experiences. We heard the
other day an anecdote, from an authentic
source, although it related to something
that happened many. years ago, before the
lifetime of the present generation. The
directors received an anonymous letter,
stating that the writer had the means OF
access to their bullion room. They treated
the matter as hoax, and took no notice OF
the letter. Another more urgent and specl-
fed letter failed to arouse them. At length
the writer offered to meet them in the bull
lion-room at any hour they pleased to name.
They then communicated with the cores
pondent through the channel he had indica-
ted, appointing "midnight hour for the
rendezvous. A deputation from the Board,
lantern in hand, repaired to the bullion.
room, locked themselves in, and awaited
the arrival of the mysterious correspondent
Punctual to the hour noise was heard be-
low. Some boards in the floor were, with
out much trouble displaced, and in few
minutes the gay Guy Fawks of the bank
stood in the midst of the astonished dlrec:
tors! His story was very simple and
straightforward. An old drain ran under
the bullion-room, the existence of which
had become known to him, and by means Of
which he might have carried away enormous
amounts. Inquiry was made: Nothing
had been extricated, and the directors re-
warded the honesty and integrity of their
anonymous correspondence workingman,
who had been employed in repairing the
sewers-by prosecution of eight hundred
pounds.
