Canby's Widow.

More than thirty years ago, in the little
town Of CrawfOrdsyillc, Ind, there was n
merry, old-fashioned wedding and Captain
+. L. ;. Candy and Louisa Hawkins were
married. Both were young, the bride was
beautiful. gifted with a reed-like grace of
movement and rich and exquisite voice
that still haunts my ear with the echo of its
remembered Music His calm. earnest way
Of loving had won her whole soul. and
throughout the shifting changes of all this
tract Of years She has gone with him, and
where he was there has been her home her
very home. Along the lonely frontier, at
desolate 0utposts,in Florida. in New Mexico,
in California, even on the rough edge Of the
battle, that gentle, delicate woman has hoy
cred near her husband, and the banner over
her head was love. In the fruitess march
to tab, under Buchanan administration,
her tent was pitched among the mountains
where the troops wintered. W hat the hus-
band gained in moral height by the compa-
nionShip of the Christian wife, how much he
owed to her, and we through him, has not
been recognised. His inherent tendency to
gloom was charmed away in that serene and
gracious presence. There was healing in the
wings Of the guardian spirit. and through
her ceaseless vigilance, whatever could har-
rass and annoy was Smoothcd from before

How TO MANAGE An USNANAGEABLE HoRsE
A beautiful and high-spirited horse would
never allow a shoe to be put on his feet or
any person to handle his feet. In an at
tempt to shoe such horse, recently. he re-
sisted all efforts, kicked aside everything but
an anvil, and came near killing himself
against that, and finally was brought back
to his stable unshod This defect was lust

not painfully tight, but tight enough to keep
the ear down and the cord in its place. This
done, he patted the horse gently on the side
of the head, and commanded him to follow:
and instantly the horse obeyed, perfectly
subdued and as gentle and obedient as a
well-trained dog suffering his feet to be
lifted with entire impunity, acting in all res
poets like an old stager. The gentleman

Behold the pettilogger, the blackleg of
the law. lie is, as his name imports, a
stirrer-up of triling grievances and quar-
rels. lie sometimes emerges from profes-
sional obseurity. ard is charged with busi-
ness which Is disreputable only through his
own tortuous devices; for the vcrmin can
not iOreg0 his instincts, even among his
betters. He is generally found, however.
and he always begins in the lowest profess
sional grade. Indeed, ho is the troglodyte
of the law. He has great cunning. lie
mistakes It for intelligence. lie is a fellow
Of infinite pretence. lie pushes himself
everywhere, and IS sell-impOrtant wherever
he goes. You Will often find him in legis-
latiye bodies, in political assemblies. in
boards of supervisors, in common councils.
lie is sometimes there for specific villainy ::
sometimes on general principles of eorrup-
ton, waiting on providence for any fraudu-
lent job. lie Is always there for evil. The
temper of his mind, the habits of his life.
make him essentially mischievOus. In ali
places he Is always dishonest. When he
cannot cheat for gain, he cheats for love.
lie haunts low places, and herds with the
ignorant. 1t is his kindly office to set them
by the ears, and to feed his vanity and his
pockets from the quarrels he incites or To-
ments. lie is in eyerybody's way, and prizes
into eyerybody's business. lie NEEDLES in
all things, and IS indeiatigable in mischief.
lie is just lawyer enough to be mischieyous.
lie is living example of Pope's truth that
a little learning Is a dangerous thing.
Among his ignorant companions he is in
iallible in all things. Sometimes he is re-
served and sly, with knowing look which
gains credit for wisdom and character, for
thinking all he does not utter. Generally
he Is loqnacious, demonstrative of small
eloquenee. Then his tongue is too big for
his mouth, and his mouth is too loose for
truth.

CONCERNING GEORGE WASHINGTON S NOSE.
1t is our pleasant duty to inform our
readers that, thanks to the indclatigable
efforts Of Secretary Belknap, mysterious
problem is about to be solved, a yexing
question to be decided. In common with
others, our thoughtful Secretary of War
has for some time been of the opinion that
Gen. Washington's nose was not so fabby
as it is representa- to have been in Stuart 5
portrait of the Father Of His Country. lie
has indicated the prominent and important
feature of hero. and Americans can now
face the world in the proud belief that Mr.
Stuart, induced probably by British gold
for coin was very scarce in those days-did
obliteratc from the herO's nose that sharp
ness of outline which is naturally assOcia-
ted with the noses Of the great. So says
the Philadelphia Telegraph, which is au-
thority for the story. Mr.. Belknap proves
this very easily. While on visit to Mount
Vernon a short time ago, he discovered, it
is said, plaster model of Washington's
face, in which the nose is sharp and beak-
like, and expresses the great elements, moral
and intellectual, which together made our
Washington. Ii would be assuring to
know something Of the origin of this cast !;
but, of course, if it properly presents the
nose, the question is unimportant. IN. Y.

Nothing is easier than to create a desp0n-
dent feeling at time like this, and nothing
can be moro dangerous than to yield to it.
There has been enough of disappointment
about the early termination Of the crisis to
account for the influence Of hope de-
ferred" Fortunately, the stability Of our
banks docs not entirely depend upon men
who yield to the prevailing influence Of the
hour. There is large class of merchants
who, while perfectly conscious OF the dan
gers Of the existing deadlock in the ordina-
ry machinery Of finance, arc serupulously
careful to do nothing to aggrayate those
dangers by unreasOning panic. So long as
our largest business firms maintain their
attitude of coOlness and confidence, it is
impossible that the gloomy predictions 50
freely uttered should be ycriied.-N Y.
