The CURSE OF PovERTY.-To that class of
moralists who keep preaching against what
they state luxury, and harping on the evil
effects on a nation, we commend the following
extract from an address of Mr.. George Daw-
son, ar Birmingham
Poverty was blessing, but it was a bless
ing to the character, to the spirit. to the
soul and it must be remembered that no one
could receive the blessing who had not the
soul for it; and, therefore, while the wise
man might make a blessing out of poverty, it
was to most men curse, burden, pun
ishment, hindrance, nuisance and an
infiction. For nation poverty was a curse.
whatever it might be in individual cases, for
what did it mean for a nation It meant
childhood unblessed by birth or education +:
it meant womanhood worn down by early
cares and premature sorrows; it meant mar.
hood toiling, and doing nothing bat toiling.
with the imagination down pressed, the love
of beauty impossible, the man turned into a
drudge, with no time for this life's beauties.
and little time to think of the next world
joys. 1t meant all this, and more; and
therefore, when he heard man talking Of
the blessings of poverty, he wished that that
man might enjoy them.
The Shasta courier., 1868-01-25

The INFLUENCE OF WIFE.-A iudicious
wife is always shipping off from her hus
bands moral nature little twigs that are
growing in wrong directions. She keeps
him in shape by continual pruning. If you
say anything silly she will afectionately tell
you SO. If you declare that you will do
some absurd thing. she will find means of
preventing your doing it. And by far the
chief part of all the common sense there is
in this world belongs unquestionably to
women. The wisest things man commonly
does are those which hiswife counsels him to
do. A wife is the grand wielder of the moral
pruning knife. If Johnsoa's wife had lived.
there would have been TO boarding up Of
orange peel-no touching all the posts in
walking along the streets-no eating and
drinking with a disgusting yoracity. Ii
Oliver Goldsmith had been married. he
would never bave worn that memorable and
ridiculous coat. Whenever you find a man
whom You know little about, odlly dressed.
or talk absurdly, or exhibiting any eccentric
ity of manner, you may be tolerably sure
that he is not married man; for the cor
ners are not rounded off the little shoots
are pruncd away-in married men. Wives
generally have much more sense than their
husbands, especially when their husbands
are clever men. The wife's advices are like
the ballast that keeps the ship steady they
are the wholesome, though painful shears,
shipping Oft little growths of selfconceit.
