EMIGRATION to the United States is again
becoming vast movement, and is bringing us
large numbers of the working people of Great
Britain and Germany. The successful result
of the late American war, and its development
ofthe great resorces ofthe country, has swollen
the tide of emigration from 10000 to 245, 900
annually. During the past week there have
been large numbers of arrivals at New York,
the average being 600 to 700 day. Germany
now sends more than ireland, but the emigra-
ton from both, it seems, is only limited by the
capacity of the vessels bringing the anxious
seekers for homes in the west. Hundreds wait
at the shipping ports week after week to find
ship with berths unoccupied. Denmark,
Sweden, Poland, Italy and France are also
contributing to our population. The class that
come are generally Industrious and thrifty,
and their labor is worth great deal to the
United States. The New York Herald says
that but one thing is to be deplored in this
swelling tide of immigration, and that is that
many Of the Danes and SwedeS who come have
cast their lot with the Mormons, and d: that fra

Be Polite AT HoME-There are few fam
lilies, we imagine, in which love is not abused
as furnishing license for impoliteness. A
husband, father or brother, will speak harsh
words to those whom he loves best. simply
because the security Of love and family pride
keeps him from getting his head broken. 1t
is a shame that man will speak more impo-
litely at times, to his wife or sister, than he
would dare to any other female, except a low
and vicious one. 1t is thus that the holiest
affections of mans nature prove to be weaker
protection to women in the family circle than
the restraints of society, snd that woman
usually is indebted for the kindest politness
of life to those not belonging to her own house
hold
This ought not to be so. The man who, be-
cause it will not be resented, inAicts his spleen
and bad temper upon those of his hearthstone,
is small coward and mean man. Kind
words are the circulating medium between true
gentlemen and ladies at home, and no polish
exhibited in society can atone for the harsh
language and disrespectful treatment, too often
indulged in, between those bound together by
the ties of blood, or the still more sacred bonds
of conjugal love.

A NEW method of computing interest on any

A NEW method of computing interest on any
simple. Multiply any given number of days
of interest desired, separate the right hand fig
ure. and divide by six the result is the true
interest of such sum for such number of days,
at six per cent This rule is so simple and so
true, according to business usuage, that every
banker, broker, merchant, or clerk should post
it up for reference and use There being no
such thing as fraction in it, there is scarcely
any liability to error or mistake. By no other
arithmetical process can the desired information
be obtained with so few figures.

TELEGRAPHIC FEAT-The most extraor-

A STORY OF A wOMAN's LOVE.

Volumes have been written Justly eulogizing
woman's love and women faithfulness. Thous.
ands OF trying scenes have been narrated, and
all their narrowing, heart-breaking incidents
painted by the pens of the writers, depicting
the sutterings and the sorrows of wives, and
the steadfastness of their love for their hus-
bands, even their hearts had been made to
drink all the bitterness of woe which it was
possible for fallen and debased husband to
bring upon them.. The great truth is recogni-
zed by all that only women
"LOve on through ills,
And love on till they de-"
AS illustrating this fact, we will narrate a
short lite history received from female friend.
Seven years ago last June, young man
named James Esterly paid his addresses to, and
won the heart of young lady named Maria
Pearson, and married her, They both resided
in pleasant little city in the State of Ohio.
Esterly was q gentleman of high social stand
ing, was engaged in good business, and was ap-
parently prosperous in his financial affairs. His
family was highly esteemed, and he was con-
sidered good match for any young lady in
town.. Miss Pearson was also of an excellent
family, highly educated and accomplished, pos
sessed of rare personal qualities, and the life
and 10y of the circle in which she moved.
For year after their marriage they lived
most happily together. Esterly treating his
beautiful wife with the utmost affection. But
the war-fever running high in this city, he
finally sold out his business and entered the
army, being appointed to the position of adju-
tant in one of the Ohio regiments. While in
the army, like thousands of others, he fell into
the habits of intemperance, and so completely
aid the fell demon of strong drink gain the
mastery over him, that before he had served
two years he was apparently a hopeless, wretch
ed drunkard.
He was persuaded by his friends to resign
his position and return home, they hoping ne

Nothing is more delusive than what is called

object OF their affection is a cipher, or they
