residence of Hon. r. J. Wilson, is said
to have been splendid affair. The
arrangements were happily conceived
and the management conducted to the
entire satisfaction of the guests. The
table spread was never surpassed in
either delicacies or profusion in the
most prosperous days of our parish, and
the pleasure was refined and unlimited,
save by the fieeting hours that hurried

A baltimore sunday.

From the Baltimore American.
Another virtue on which Baltimore
greatly prides herself is the reverent
observance of its Sabbath by our people.
Our Sunday law is perhaps more strict
than any that is to be found on the
statute books of even the Puritan States,
and, what is singular with regard to
law so stringent in its provisions, it is
faithfully enforced. There is public
sentiment behind the law that will not
tolerate its violation; hence there is
seldom any need of resorting to its pen
alties. In all this great city there is not
single shop open on Sunday Except
ing, of course, the drug stores) at which
the most Insignificant article of mer-
chandise can be purchased. The hungry
stranger who walks the streets has no
chance to get mouthful to eat except
by going TO hotel and ordering regu-
lar meal. The rigor of the law often
works hardships and Inconvenience, but
the virtnons people of the city think it
better these should be endured than the
peace and quiet of the day should be put
in jeopardy by any mitigation of its pro-
visions and penalties. When it is re-
membered that, IN addition tQthe large
class in the city that is not restrained
from breaking the Sabbath from any
moral convictions, there are perhaps
thousand storekeepers whose religious
belief teaches them to observe another
day of the week as holy day, the total
and absolute suspension of business on
Sunday, even in its pettiest forms, be-
comes more surprising. There is an
impression abroad that such gentlemen
as understand the intricaoies of the re-
tail liquor trade can occasionally pro-
cure drink on Sunday afternoon, but
if such be the fact there are never any
demonstrations on the streets that would
give color to the suggestion that the law
had been violated The care with which
every infraotina Of the law is concealed
shows the force of public opinion in its
favor. I.f

Our search for new wonders leading
us across the Fire Hole river, we as
cended gentle, incrusted slope, and
came suddenly upon large oval aper-
ture with scalloped edges, the diameters
of which were eighteen and twenty-five
feet, the sides corrugated and covered
with .. grayish-white silicious deposit,
which was distinctly visible at the depth
OF one hundred feet below the surface.
No water could be discovered, but we
could distinctly hear it gurgling and
boiling at great distance below. Sud
denly it began TO rise, boiling and splut-
tering, and sending out huge masses of
steam, causing general stampede Of
our company, driving us some distance
from our point of observation. When
within about forty feet of the surface it
became stationary, and we returned to
look down upon it. 1t was foaming and
surging at terrible rate, occasion
ally emitting small jets of hot
water nearly to the mouth of
the orifce. All at once it seemed
seized with a fearful spasm, and rose
with incredible rapidity, hardly afording
US time to flee to a safe distance, when
it burst from the orifice with terrific mo-
mentnm, rising in a column the full size
of this immense aperture 10 the hight Of
sixty feet; and through and out of the
apex of this vast aqueous mass five or
six lesser jets or round columns of water,
varying in size from six to fifteen inches
in diameter, were projected to the mar
vellous hight of two hundred and fifty
feet. These lesser jets, so much higher
than the main column, and shooting
through it, doubtless proceed from auxil-
iary pipes leading into the principal
orifice near the bottom, where the explo-
sive force is greater. If the theory that
water by constant boiling becomes ex-
plosive when freed from air be true, this
theory nationally accounts for all irregu
larities in the eruptions of the geysers.'
This grand eruption continued for
twenty minutes, and was the most mag
nificent sight we ever witnessed. We
were standing on the side of the geyser
nearest the sun, the, CLEANS of which
filed the sparkling column of water and
spray with myriads of rainbows, whose
arches we're constantly changing-dip-
ping and Auttering hither and thither,
and disappearing only to be succeeded
by others, again and again, amid the
aqueous column, while the minute glo-
bules into. which the spent jets were diff
fused when falling sparkled like shower
of diamonds, and around every shadow
which the denser clouds of vapor, inter
rupting the suns rays, cast upon the
column, could be seen luminous circle
radiant with all the colors Of the prism,
and resembling the halo Of glory repre-
sented in paintings as encircl,ng the head
Of Divinity All that we had previously
witnessed seemed tame in comparison
with the grandeur and beauty of this dis
play. Two of these wonderful eruptions
occurred during the twenty-five hours we
remained in the valley. This geyser we
named "The Giantess " NJ

loftier intelligence and with the Deity
itself. How bright does this admirable
quality shine in the hour of sorrow and
anguish--by the pillow Of sickness and
death. Then, indeed, does woman seem
like guardian angel sent forth from a
higher and holier sphere, to cheer our
moments of despondency and distress,
to soothe our otherwise rugged passage
to the tomb, andsto prepare the depart
ing spirit for happy exit from this
world of woe. Who, then, will endeavor
with impious hands to withdraw her from
this position she was destined to occupy,
to mar the symmetry of her character,
and to plunge her into the turbid waters
of crime--a loathing to herself and a
drone to herself2-Erchange.

The character of pure and virtuous
female is too tender and delicate to be
handled roughly. Like the dew drop
that sparkles on the bosom Of the rose
bud, the first rude breath is apt to sweep
it away. Surely, then, it should be
guarded with jealous care by her who
possesses it, and should never be sullied
by the foul breath of whitening calnmny.
The man who would cast o deadly blight
on the reputation of an innocent and
uneuspeeting woman, by accusations or
innuendoes, is q vile and heartless
wretch, unfit for the companionship of
his species.
The influence of woman in the endear-
ing relation of sister, or wife. and
mother, exceeds all conception in its
power. In this respect she is far supe-
rior to the sterner sex. How is the wild
and wayward brother restrained from
his career of vice, and led in the path Of
purity and peace, by the mild and per-
suasive entreaties, the soft and feminine
greatness Of his affectionate sisterY
How are the asperities Of the husband
softened. his evil habits corrected, and
the noble and better attributes Of his
nature developed in their lovely and ex
auisite proportions by the captivating
graces, the generous and selfsacriicing
devotions Of the wife of his bosom2
And how is the rude and reckless boy
met, at every avenue of guilt by the
hallowed form Of her who bore him, now
perhaps in heaven, as she knelt by his
side in the early childhood, and COM
mended him to God, or urged him, amid
fast falling tears, to emulate the example
and follow the steps Of his Saviour2
The sympathy Of woman is one of the
crowning exeellencies Of her nature.

A Drunkard's WIFE.

Come now with me and look upon a
sad scene. Family glow the embers
upon the hearth of ruined cottage. 1t
is cold winters night and the pitiless
blast shakes the easement and drives in
through many crevice the falling snow.
A feeble light struggles against the
gloom of the apartment. By the light
plying the busy needle upon a tattered
garment, sits woman shivering in the
bitter frost. Her face is pale and thin.
In her looks and attitude there is no
hope. Often she sighs, as the sharp
pangs of breaking heart rend her
bosom. The moan OF her hungry chill
dren in their sleep comes to her ears,
and the scalding tears overflow. She
thinks of the time when she was light
hearted girl, stood up bride and heard
the promise spoken TO love, cherish and
protect till death should dissolve the tie;
when in their bright sky the first glass
the little cloud like mans hand-gave
token of the rising storm, when the first
shock of drunken husband reeling
across the Threshold, smote her heart.
Sad musings are thine, lonely wife, as
thou pliest still the needle by the light
in the desolate room. But she pauses
in her work-a foot is on the step--a
hand pushes the door open. Oh, how
unlike the face, the form, the step the
salutation to those she remembers so

and she can only interpOse her

with society, to which the drearest soli-
tude were Paradise. Home, that dear
