RAILWAY MoNoPoLIEs. - Governor
Randolph of New Jersey is after the "rail-
way corporations and monopolies." He
seems to have less fear that they will alb
sorb and overpower all other interests, as
the Executives of other States have dread
ed, than that their own rival interests
will bring them into violent conflict to
the danger of the public peace. He has
asked for power to take possession of the
roads in such emergency, but it is doubt
full if he gets it.

The SOUTHERN WINTER. The sunny
South is any thing but sunny this winter,
and invalids who have gone to Florida, or
the States just north, complain bitterly OF
the cold and dampness of the atmosphere,
"a state of things, indeed, much more
trying than at the North, because there
is very poor provision for heating South
ern residences, and they are almost as
badly off in the house as when out of
doors. 1t is one of the most singular
things connected with the singular
weather of the last summer and the pres.
emit winter. that the South and the North
seem to some extent to have changed
places. Last summer, at the north, was
the hottest known for many years ; at the
south it was the coolest; and now, while
we are having winter of more than or
binary mildness, with hardly any snow or
rain, Florida reports that fros.s have
made sad work with the orange crop, and
still sadder work with the tender lungs of
consumptives, while in all the Southern
States of the Atlantic coast there have
been unus ually heavy falls of snow, more,
indeed, in North Carolina than in Massa-
chusetts, so far, and the navigation of the
rivers is obstruoted by ice as hardly never
before. If the South is to fail us thus,
the invalids, certainly, will be in favor of
annexing San Domingo, if for nothing
else than place of winter resort; but
we prefer to consider this season as an ex-
ceptional, and trust that the traditional
"etherial mildness' may still be found on
our southern shores in the future, not
withs landing the present severe expert
ence.

GEoGRAPHY.-The manufacturers of
biographies must have a very uncomfort-
able time of it just now. 1t would be
hardly safe to lay down the boundaries of
any European nationality at present, and
how the young idea is to be taught to
shoot in this particular direction must be
puzzling problem. How is France
bounded on the east for example, or how
is Russia bounded on the west are ques-
lions to which the answers may possibly
vary very much in the course of a year; ;
and what answer could be provided for
such an interrogation as, What form of
government has France? Even encern-
ing Canada there nay DO como doubts, at
least in the minds of Gen. Buffers consti-
tuents; and what is to be said about San
Domingo? Altogether we are glad, all
things considered, that we have not this
task assigned us-unless indeed. the need
of const ant editions may make the bust
ness profitable one, from a financial
point of view.

When the nomination for Secretary
was presented, Mr.. Clark, the Secretary,
said; 1t will be remembered by the
members Of the Society, that at the last
two annual meetings, he had asked to be
relieved of the Office of Secretary, which
position he had occupied for eleven years.
He said that amid the duties of an ar
dous profession, it was impossible for him
to render the service with that promptness
that the position required, and he desired
to commit it to other more competent
hands. He said, although not practical
agriculturalist, he had endeavored to dis
charge the duties of the position faithful
ly, and had ever striven to elevate the in.
terests of the farmer and of agriculture,
and place it upon the high position that it
now occupies in Rutland county, and
hoped that the Society would now relieve
him from further service az their Score.

he went and dug it up.

Wait.

Wait, husband, you wonder audibly
why your wife don't get along with the
household responsibilities "as your
mother did =" She'is doing her best and
no woman can endure that best to be
sighted. Remember the long weary
nights she sat up with the little babe that
died remember the love and care she be-
slowed upon you when you had that long
fit of illness. Do you think she is made
ofcast iron? Wait-wait in silence and
forhearance, and the Ii ght will come back
to her eyes-the old ligl of the old days
Wait, wife, before you speak reproach-
fully TO your husband when he comes
home late, weary and tout of sorts" He
has worked hard for you all day-perbaps
far into the night; he has wrestled hand
in hand with care, and sel6shness, and
greed, and all the demons that follow in
the train of moneysmaking. Let home
be another atmosphere entirely. Let
him feel that there is no other place in the
world where he can find peace, and quiet,
and perfect love
