A Wlfe's Power.

A good wife is to man wisdom,
strength and courage; bad one is con-
fusion, weakness and despair. No con-
dition is hopeless to n man where the
wife possesses iirmness, decision and
economy. There is no outward proprie-
ty which can counteract Incidence, ex-
travagance and folly at home. Nospir-
it can long endure bad influence. Man
is str3ag;; but his heart is not adamant
He needs a tranquil home, and especial
ly if he is an intelligent man, with n
whole head, he needs its moral torce in
the conflict of lite. TO recover his COM
posure home must be place of peace
and comfort. There his soul renews its
strength and goes forth with renewed
vigor to encounter the labor aud troubles
oflife. But if at home he finds no rest
and there is met with bad temper, jcal
ousy and gloom, or assailed with com,
plants and censure, hope vanishes ant
he sinks into despair.

Frankfort to the financial domination of
Europe. At the period of Rothschild's

sixty years ago-.John Jacob Astor was
already a rich man. The great fortune

inheritance Of his Hebrew contemporary
has been swollen to more than sixty
times that sum. Although its terrific

The Rothschilds

The combined capital of the Roths-
childs is stated by Emile turnout, the
well-known puhliciSt, TO have attained
in the present year to the almost meal
culablc sum Of seventeen billions of
francs. or S3.4O0 ,000, 900. The signiii-
cance OF these slupcndous figures may
be rudely conceived by comparison, but
there is nothing IN tie history OF private
wealth with which they can be compar-
ed. The capital Of the Earrings, the eS-
tates of Lord Dudley, the Marquis Of
Butte, and the head Of the family OF
Grosvenor belongs relatively toan hum
BILE cetegory, to which the city Of New
York has contributed the fortunes of
Astor, Vanderbilt and Stewart. The
financial resources attributed TO the
Rothschilds can best be measured by
contrasting them with the funded debts
of the richest countries on the globe.
The capital of this house, as estimated
by Il. Burnouf, is about equal to the
whole funded debt of Great Britain, or
that of France, and considerably exceeds
the national debt of the United States.
A single century, or the possible span OF
one mans life, has sulficed fov the ac-
cumulation of this fortune, and the rise

Washington at Valley Forge.

The dreary cncampnent at Valley
Forge has become provCrbial for its
hardships and sullerings. The unfortu-
nate battle Mt Brandywine had opened
Philadelphia to the british Army; and
the brilliant but fruitless attack on the
enemy's lines at Germantown had left
them in confirmed possession of that
city, while il imposed upon Washington
the necessity OF selecting such winter
quarters us would enable him to keep a
vigilant eye on that city. and at The
same time protect great extent of
country from the incursions of the enc
my. "The plan adopted was to hut the
army for the winter at Valley Forge, on
the west side OF the Schuylkill, about
twenty miles from Philadelphia. Ar
rived ut Valley Forge on the 18th Dec.
l777, the troops slill had to brave. in
