HusBANus' MANNERs.-All men who are
married, all husbands, come ct one time,
sooner or later, TO a point in their lives
where they have to decide whether the
amenities, and courtesies, and sweetness
which characterized the early days oi their
affection, shall be continued, or whether il
shall be given up, and harsh sentiment, and
speech, and thought, and feeling, shall per
wade the life To some Of Us, perhaps, this
time has come, and, and We have not decided
rightly, and harshness has crept into that
which had been perfect melody, and there
has been chronic discord in our family circle.
The time comes now to Us again, right here,
now, at the suggestion Of your pastor, to re-
call those sweeter days and reform your con-
duet, husbands, if you have lapsed from that
sweet era. Forbearanee Is the keynote Of
married life. There can be ne great discord,
there can be no large diyergences from tune
fitness, so long as the husband forbears and
the wife forbears. Now, this cannot be at
tanned without some labor. Results are ap-
preached gradually in character, as they are
in making a sand bill. 1t is grain upon
grain. shoyeful upon shoyelul, and load upon
load, that makes the mound to rise. So re-
suits of character comes gradually. An act
at this time, deed yesterday, a word this
morning, word tomorrow morning, cross
answer to-day, repeated month hence, and
so on, till at last you find there is a ridge be-
tween you and your wife or husband = aiiec-
ton. M Murray

ITO THE VICToRs BELONG TIE SPoILs. -
This phrase traces its paternity to William
L. Marcy, who was United States Senator,
Governor of New York, Secretary of War
under Polk and Secretary OF State under
Pierce. While Senator, representing the
Empire State, he had occasion to press the
confirmation of Martin Van Buren, as Minis
ter to England, which he failed to carry by
the casting vote of the Vice President, John
c. Calhoun. During the debate Mr.. Web
ster, Mr.. Clayton and Mr.. Clay attacked
Mr.. Van Buren, with great power. The lat
ter spoke somewhat disparagingly of the
politicians of New York, and Senator Marcy
replied. In the course of his remarks he
said
at may be, sir. that the politicians OF the
State of New York are not so fastidiOus as
some gentlemen are, as TO disclosing the
principles on which they act. They boldly
preach what they practice. When they are
eontending for victory they avow their ln-
tention of enjoying the fruits of it. If they
are defeated, they expect to retire from
office. If they are successful, they claim
as a matter of right, the advantages Of sue
cess. They see nothing wrong in the rule
that 10 the ricfor belong the spoIis Of the
enemy" 4
There is one other phrase which was in
troduced into politics at the same time.
When it was urged that this prescription
on account of political opinion would throw
honest and capable men out of the public
service, who would literally become paupers,
the Washington organ of the administration
with beastly cruelty remarked that with all
such it would be 90 Root hog or de-"

4 most p.ti.ul case cf selfdeStrGc;ion
came to light yesterday. \ widow lady had
100000 in stocks in the coal roads OF
PENNSYLVANIA. which have been considered
the safest in the world She purchased
lot OF real estate in the city, expecting that
her dividends would pay interest on the in
debtoduess she ASSUMED, and expecting u
sell stock. as the payments became due to
meet them. The real Estate deprecated in
value two years ago. so that 1t would not
sell for more than half the mortgage. her
stocks shrunk almost half aud her dIvI-

came due, the holder pushed her, and IN

She had no friends to depend upon and
nothing but the alm>house was before her.

explanation was the pile of worthless Sc
caritits, but they told the story well
enough. And now comes the curious part
of il. The day her body was discovered,
there came to her address a notification
that an estate in Scotland, which had been

TIE BLESSINGS or WoMAN's SociETY.-Al
men who avoid female society have dull per
ceptions, and are stupid, and have gross
tastes. and revolt against what is pure.
You club swaggerers, who are sucking the
butts Of billiard cues all night, call female
society insipid. Poetry is as uninspiring to
a yokel; beauty has no charms for blind
man, music does not please poor beast,
who does not know one tune from another !;
but, as a true epicure is hardly ever tired OF
water, sauce, and brown bread and butter, |
protest can sit for a whole night talking TO
"A well regulated, kindly woman about her
daughter Fanny or her boy Frank, and like
the evenings entertainmenI. One OF tie
greatest benefits man can derive from a
woman society is that he is bound to be re-
spectiul to her. The habit is of great good
to Your morals, men, depend upon it. Our
education makes us the most eminently
selfish men in the world, and the greatest
benefit that We have is to think of some
BODY to whom We are bound to be constantly
attentive and respectfnl.-1haekeray.
