wife had left him many years before, on find
ing herself deceived as to his property; that he
knew not where she was, whether alive or
dead that, if he married again, he incurred the
risk of the fate of felon; but that, finally, so
great was his devotion, he was prepared to peril
all, and fulfil his promise. And then he con-
jured her to go to the church. The end may
bc guessed By her virtue he conquered her
virtue. By her very magnanimity and spirit
of self-sacriilce he effected her ruin. He gave
her promise of marriage on the death of
his WIFE" of course, he had no wife. Let no
one too severely judge the unhappy girl. To
be utterly ignorant of vice is almost as danger
GUS as to be vicious.

Professor Hamilton, in an able address
on hygiene to the graduates of the Buffa.
10 Medical College, denounees broadcloth
as an enemy to exercise, and therefore to-
health. His remarks are pointed and
sensible. lie says:


American gentlemen have adopted as a
national costume, broadcoth-a thin
tight fitting, black suit Of broadcloth. -
To foreigners we seem always to be in
mourning; We travel in black, we write
in black. and we work in black The
priest, the lawyer, the doctor, the literary
man, the mechanic and even the dav la
borer, choose always the same unvaryinc,
monotonous black broadcloth; q style and
material which never ought to have been
adopted out of the drawing room or the
pulpit; because it is feeble aud ex pen
sivo fabric; because it is at the North no
suitable protection against the cold, nor
is it indeed any more suitable at the
South. 1t is too thin to be warm in the
winter, and too black to be COO. in the
summer; but especially do VIC object to it
because the wearer is always soiling it by
exposure. Young gentlemen will not
play ball, or pitch quoits, or wrestle and
tumble, or any other similar thing, lest
their broadcloth should be offended.-
They will not 90 out into the storm, be-
cause broalcloth will lose its lustre if
rain falls upon it; they will not run, be-
cause they have no confidence in the
strength Of the broadcloth they dare not
mount horse. or leap fence, because
broadcloth, as everybody knows, is so
faithless. So these young men, and these
older men, merchants, mechanics, and all,
learn to walk, talk and think soberly and
carefully; they seldom venture even to
laugh to the full extent of their sides

AN Clothing trade of the West was comparatively
of small amount and cOnfIed almost exclu-
svely to a retail business in the larger towns and
cities alone. Now this line of Goods has become
almost indispensable part Of the stock of every
general Dry Goods store from the crowded city to
the cross-road stand. Like all changes in trade,
however, this one has not been produced except for
the best of reasons. Among these the great
saving of material by cutting a large quantity of
garments together-the superior work and speed Of
sewing machines in manufacturing-the great
ing OF time in waiting for your ''Iurn the Tai
lor's-the uncertainty of then getting salts

oAae-hal the cost of the garment in the price For
a number of years this has only been part of

HE The New Haven Palladium of Thursday has an editorial under the caption of A Judicial Out rage," in which Judge Seymour of the Superior Court is charged with Haerant conduct, worthy of Kane or a Jctfreys, in his imprisonment of Miss Antionette Turner, who was summoned to answer writ of habeas corpus issued for the discovery of q child of one Managhan, which was last seen in her possession Miss T. refused, several weeks sncc to answer question put by the attorney for the father as to whom she sent the child. and the Court hay ing decided that the question proper one which she must answer, committed her for contempt as he manifestly had right to do. The Palladium ale ges theSmpiasonment to have been illegal unjust aud tyrannical,' and says the Judge was actuated by prejudice and partisan and personal bias. From what we can learn of the case, we must think our friend Baboock has been Jed into an unjust and li- beous attack, for which, after more careful invcs- tgation of the facs he will make the anede honor able. It is not always safe to take the opinion of an excited attorney in relation to case in controversy as the basis of editorial comments on judicial pro- ceedings. @

 P.S. We learn that Miss Turner was at liberty before the publication of the attack in the Paladi 0m, having been released by the Judge on Thurs day morning.

1W-The Legislature will convene at Hartford on Wednesday next. The newspapers have selected the Speaker and Clerks of the House, and the Cour ant has begun to name the chairmen of the import ant committees. With these editorial aids, the sion will doubtless be short one. The Courant. we notice. is to have the printing g-provided the Le gislature do not abolish the office of State Printer which we prefer. If however, the appointment is to be ade the Courant is fairly entitled to it for its efficiency and steadfast adherence to genuine Re publicanism, in the late election, and its faithful repudiation of Ezra Clarkism. The Courant has an occasional hit at radical rcpubcanism which is not in exactly good taste or consistent with its ed itorials on the slavery issue. but we have doubt of it's unqualified advocacy of a radical Republican of the sraightest sect for the Presidency in 1860 though it may have doubts of the only safe course for the Republicans to pursue in selecting their can didatc.

 By the way, the Courant comes to us in new and beautiful dress, evincing continued prosperity It has ever been of the very best conducted papers in the country.

AS we have before mentioned to our read
ers. the first Annual Fair of the Agricultural,
Horticultural and Mechanics Society of the
Northern District of California, is fixed by
the Board Of Trustees to be held in this city
on the 30th, 3lst Of August, the lst, ID and
Sd days of September of this year. The
premium list is already prepared and in our
hands for publication. The premiums, for
the objects they are intended to accomplish.
They are so diversified and general as to Gov
er every branch of business, trade, profes-


sion and calling. 1t is therefore to be hoped


that the efforts of the Board of Trustees will


meet with a hearty response from the people


for whose especial benefit this society Is es'


taLlished. The farmers, herdsmen, orchard


lists. and mechanics of the Northern counties


of the State should awake to the work OF


fostering and promoting home Society, ana


making it the pride of the North. Inc
means are within your grasp, and it only re
ouires the determination and will on your
part to do so. The agriculturist and horti-
culturist have the climate and the soil to en-
able them to compete with the world; while
the mineral wealth of our mountains is un-
surpassed. The support of this Society
should be a matter of pride with the people
of all the Northern counties. 1t will be the
means of showing the productiveness of cur
soil, and the wealth and growing prosperity
of our citizens. 1t will stimulate a spirit of
rivalry between the citizens Of the Northern
and Southern counties, that will be untold in
in its benefits upon the State at large and the
people of our own section. Upon these con-
sideratons, we hope that all will take an in
terest and contribute whatever they may
have worthy of exhibition at the coming
Fair. The Board of Trustees are laboring
assiduously, and will spare no pains to have
one of the best exhibitions ever witnessed in
the State; and if the exhibition does not ex-
eel that to be holden at Sacramento, it will
be the fault of our own people. Let all per
sons, Of whatever occupation, trade or pro-
fession from this time on, prepare to make
the first Fair Of the Society worthy of the

A mans force in the world, 9th

ignorant, still if his heart be full of love
to the cause, he becomes a powerful
mar for that object, because he has
heart-power, heart-force. A man may
be deficient in many of the advantages
of education, and in many of those
niceties which are SO much looked up
on in society; but once give him a
strong heart that beats hard, and there
is no mistake about his power. Let
him have heart that is right full ND

die gloriously defeated, and will glory
in his defeat. Heart is power.-Spaw-

Take care of them. Don't let them
stir without watching. They may do
something wrong if you do. To be
sure you never knew them to do any,
thing very bad, but it may be on your
account they have not. Perhaps if it
had not been for your kind care, they
might have disgraced themselves and
families long time ago. Therefore
don't relax any effort to keep them
where they ought to be; never mind
your own business, that will take care
of itself. There is a man passing
along-he is. looking over the fence
be suspicious of him, perhaps he con-
templates stealing something some of
these dark nights; there's no knowing
what queer fancies he may have got
into his head. If you see any
symptom of any one passing out of the
path of duty, tell every one else that
you can see, and be particular to see a
great many. 1t is good way to cir


culatc such things, and though it NAV
not benefit yourself, or any one else
particularly, it will be something i'm

something going-silence is dreadful
thing, though it is said there was ST.
lence in Heaven for the space of half

on earth it would be too much like
Heaven, for the inhabitants of this
mundane sphere. If, after all your
watchful care, you don't see anything
out of the way in any one, you may be
sure it is not because they have done
anything bad; perhaps in an unguard-
sd moment you lost lost sight of them
throw out hints, they are no better
than they should be-that you should
not wonder if people found out what
they were after a while, and then they
may not carry their heads so high.
