In domestic iiappiriess, the -wife's in
huence is much greater than the hus-
bands; for the one, mutual cause-Amu-
tual love and confidence7-being granted,
the whole comfort of the household de-
pends upon, trifes more Immediately
under her Jurisdiction. BY her manage
ment of small sums, her husbands re-
spectability and credit are created or
destroyed. No fortune can stand the
constant leakages of extravaganza and
mismanagement-and more is spent in
trifies than woman would 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 1t is pennies imperceptibly slid
ing away which do mischief and this
the wife alone can stop, for it does not
come within the mans province, There
is often an unsuspected trifle to be saved
in every household.
Depend upon it, there is great deal
of domestic happiness about a well dress
ed mutton chop, or tidy breakfast table.
Men grow sated of beauty, tired of mu-
sic, are often too wearied for conversa-
tion, however Intellectual; but they can
always appreciate well kept hearth.
and smiling comfort.
A woman may love her husband de-
votedly-may sacrifice fortune, family,
country for him she may have the ge-
MUS Of Sappho, the enchanted beauties
of an Armida; but--melancholy fact-if
with these ,she fails TO make bis shome
comfortable, his heart will inevitably es-
cape, her. And mowen live so entirely
inthe affections that without love their
existence isvoid.is Better submit, then,
to holsehould tasks, however repugnant
they may be to your tastes, than doom
yourself to a loveless home. Women of
q higher order Of mind will not run this
risk; they know that their domestic are
their first duties.

The useless Young. Man.

The Harrisburg Union proposes q new
charitable Institution, in the form of a
State asylum for useless young men,
The class it has in view as proper inmates
of such an asylum, it says, "have no
visible means of support still they hang
on, they vegetate, they keep above the
ground. In certain literal sense, they
may be said to live, move, and have a
being. They lounge I'm offices, promenade
the streets, appear at social amusements,
play the gallant to good natured ladies
and attend to the necessities of lap-dogs.
Their more quiet and undemonstrative
life may be described as an intermittent
topor, in which meals, cigars, drinks,
and sleep mark the changes. Their exist
ence would be mystery, but for their
bearing relations to other substantial
people, known as pa, Land ma or bet
ter half who are able to make provision
for the waste and protection of their
bodies In. the way of elothingand food.r
IN despair OF doing anything else with
them, the Union recommends the es-
tablishment OF an asylum. Here it
ays, they could cultivate their mustach-
es, part their back hair, and practice at
titudes. In this resort, with little en-
forced exercise to keep their circulation
in q healthy state, with dolls to play
with as compensation for the absence of
ladies' society, these useless young men
could be supported with ease and COM
fort, and all industrious people would be
willing TO pay the expenses of the insti-
tuition rather than bear rpainful solicitude
in regard to theiwelfare of these super
fluous members of society. When pro-
vision has been made by the State, for
idiots, for insane, poor, aged, and Grip
pied, Is it,not astounding that asylums
have never been erected for q stil more
helpless class. -. =. =. 49, 8. y q. =.

How 20 Raise Early Tomatoes and Lima
a f.lut .,IUH lut ~ Beans.

As ilIIt fIYI Henns.
Tomatoes can be raised ten days ear
lier than usual by topping The vines.-
Ninety per cent. of the fruit is within
eighteen inches of the ground, ,.and nine
ty per cent. of the vine is beyond that
distance. The vine does not bleed, SO
that il may be cut fearlessly, and the re-
moved branches should be dug beneath
the surface. The proper time Is when
the first fruit is of the size of an egg
The same principle applies to lima beans.
Ii allowed to grow at will, they will
measure forty feet but the first beans
are formed on the lower part of the vine,
and many of those on the upper part of
the vine never ripen. When the beans
are five feet and a half high, pinch off
the terminal bud, and repeat this pro-
cess should a new shoot start from the
final leaf-stalk. In consequence of this
shortening-in, new shoots will be thrown
out from the main stalk, and these will
be well filled with beans, and so early in
the season as to perfect their ripening
before frost. AS compared with the old
system Of permitting the vine to run at
any length unchecked, this has many
advantages, The main stalk becomes
twice as large, the fruit-bearing shoots
are all formed early, and the amount of
crop is doubled. On the old system more
than half the bean-pods are developed
too late to perfectthenselves before frost.
Lima Beans require heavy fertilization,
and even the most highly heterogeneous
manures may be fearlessly applied in
large Quantities., Peruvian guano may
be used with great profit for this crop.
Several cultivators have tried differ
ent methods of cultivation. One was in
the habit of using poles FIVE or six feet
high, with rails tied on the top horizon
tally. Thus treated the beans bear an
abundant crop. htt. >.4 apar
Another planted about the middle. of
May, in drills. The beans were three or
four inches apart in the rows. For the
want of poles, pea-brush was used, and
the vines ran all over it. The crop was
a very good one. iais .-is9i,
Others, using poles, let the bean run
to the top of the pole, and then turn it
down; If too long or vigorous, it is turn
ed up again.
But the simplest, most effective, and
most approved method is as we have
stated nip off the shoots ut 81 feet, and
train to poles 81 feet apart

; Puppy PoIltics.

The General Assembly Of Ohio has
passeda law requiring students of col
leges to vote at their placesof residence.
precisely as all other persons are required
to4do. In some Of the States, as in Mas.
sachusetts, for example, this matter is
made the subject of Constitutional pro-
vision; and the abuse which has just been
stopped in Ohio by Legislative enact
ment, is elsewhere guarded against by
the organic law. In various places, how
ever, as at Delaware and Athens, the
students have met and passed resolutions
conceived in great fury, and uttered in
great feebleness, against the law-making
power of the State, because it refuses to
them privileges which are not enjoyed by
any other class of our people. We have
not seen puppyism in politics SO we'll ex-
emplifed before, as in the impudent res
olutions of the "callow young of Della
ware and Athens. If they desire to vote
let them 60 to their places Of residence,
as mechanics, clerks, and all others, are
compelled to do. But if they should not
vote at all the fippant ignorance ais
played in the resolves Of the grumblers
justi6es the belief that no special injury
would result to the public well-being 10
consequence. Democratic students are
all satisfied with the law, for they know
it to be just; and justice always COM

law compelling all ballots to be printed

The object is to make the ballots uni.

and poor shall vote his sentiments with.
but fear or favor. Heretofore in Radi-
cal districts, espe cially where large oper
ators live, employing many men, the
rule has been for the operators to, print
blue or yellow tickets. These were Civ

sentiments, and FOR those they detested

had of paintena1ce flor themselves ani

TWO Important Laws.

The General Assembly have enacted the
law to prevent students at Colleges from
voting at the place where they are at,
tending school,
Also the act to require election tickets
to be printed on white paper without
emblem or detection marks.
A correspondent Of a Cincinnati paper
states, the votes on both bills were strict
party votes. 1t is very strange, or rath-
er it ought to be staange, that party
would vote solid against the prevention
of fraud in elections.
Itimports low degree Of morality il
Colleges, that Law should be necessary
to prevent students voting at the place o.
their sojourn, which is not the place o.
residence. A student who would at
tempt to vote in such case should bs
marked as convict. And the ProfessoI
who would encourage students in such
|prohigate abuse, should not be entrusted
with the care of youth. A certain clas,
of papers have called this act disfran
