An INDIGNANT WoMAN.-Some ehorreG
wretch" having ventured on The opinion tbai
a woman who loves unsought, deserves tie
scorn of the man she loves, is shot dead bv
the following, from lady correspondent Of
the Buffalo Patriot:


Heaven forgive me but may the mar
who penned that never see another bonnet
May no white dimpled arms ever encircle
his cravat, or buttons vegetate on his shirts
May no rosy lips ever press bis moustache
and the tates grant that his dicky string
break short off every morning. MAY no
.wonlan's h:a,t ever learu to beat faster
except with indiguation-at the mention of
bis name, and may his stockings always
need darning.


And when his nerves are all unstrung BY
disease, and his head throbs with pain, as
-thppgh an earthquake were brewing in it,
may he have nothing iu his sick chamber
but boot heels, and see not ole inch of mus
lin or calico. srs


Give her love unasked Oh! with true
hearted man, this would, methinks, be the
reason of reasons why be should love her
She gives to him her whole heart-for in
these things woman does not work BY halves
hot from gratitude, because lie loves her:
not from pity or charity because be has
begged it of her; but because-because-
dear me it will take more OF philosopher
than am to account for the undeuiabIe fact,
that women do sometimes love the horrid
creatures called men.

An ACKNOWLEDGED CAYDIDATE.-We under
stand that our fellow-townsman, Milton S. La
tham is an open and avowed candidate for Go
vernon that he is opposed to all the old fogies
in the country and is desrous of being looked
upon as the acknowledged head and front of the
young ones. He is, in fact, opposed to every
body who seeks that Office in opposition to him
self He will be candidate before the Lecomp-
ton convention only.


The contest for delegates from this county to
that body, will be between him and Weller. La
than will have the Custom House and the Su-
preme Court to help him, and Weller will have
host of friends. We should not be surprised
if Weller would carry this county against Mr..
Latham, for neither the Custom House nor the
Supreme Court is in good odor with this people.

DIREcTIoN TO SPoRTsMEN.-Gunpowde should
be carried in flask, or if carried in the pocket,
should not be mixed with matches. As rule,
no sportsman ought to smoke. Before blowing
down one barrel ofa gun, it is advisable to see
whether the other is loaded. To ascertain this,
look inside and let off cap with your toe. The
practice fdrying powder over the fire in fry
ing-pan should be discouraged. Many accidents
have resulted from it. Always shut your eyes
before firing. Never carry a loaded gun at fall
cock, horizontally, when friend is walking be-
fore you, unless you are sure of the thickness of
his corduroys. If bird should rise between
two sportsmen in direct line, both ought not
to fire at once. fla crack should be observed
in your barrel, tie it firmly round with a bit of
stirring, for fear of accidents.

WHY DOUGLAS WEsT TO HAvANA.-The Free
Trader, paper away off in Natchez, nunder the
HILL - has discovered the cause of Senator Doug
las recent visit to the Island of Cuba. The visit
of the Little Giant to Cuba, says that journal
was solely to establish an intente cordiale with
the Havanese, that they might come into the
Union after 1860, as they must, if the annexation
is not sooner accomplished, in quiet or friend
ly way, or, from personal observation, become
acquainted with their strength and condition,
their means of defense and the extent of their
bellicosity, in order that when the power be-
comes his, and events tend so to shape the end
he may by bold, prompt and efficient measures,
accomplish by a coup de main what the idle dip
lomacy of the present and past puts at greater
distance from us, and renders us almost, if not
qnite, contemplate, as nation, in the eyes OF
the world

PLAYING WITNESS, JUDGE AND JuRY.--The
Sacramento Register gives long account of the
killing of Benson by Palmer, in the conclusion
of which the editor hopes =" he will receive the
punishment he so richly deserves Would it
not be well enough for the Register to permit the
courts to say whether or no Palmer deserved
any punishment? 1t is not fitting that an edi
tor shall arraign man before the public, and
pronounce him worthy of DEATH An editor who
does this thing may possibly aid in defeating
justice, or, worse still, in condemnng a man
unworthy OF condemnation. OF course it is ex
pected that the papers will publish the reported
circumstances of a murder But the editor who
treats these reports as undoubted legal evidence,
and thereupon pronounces judgement, helps to
prevent fellow citizen from obtaining a fair
trial, which he is entitled to under the Consti-
tuition and laws.

BRIGHT AND GLOOMY HoURs-Ah this
beautiful world Indeed, know not what to
think of it, Sometimes it is all gladueSs and
and sunshine, and heaven itself is not far off
And then it changes suddenly and is dark and
sorrowful, and the clouds shut out the sky In
the lives of the saddest of us there are bright
days like this when we fell as if we could take
the gr, G. world in our arms Then come the
gloomy hours, when the fire will neither burn
in our hearts nor on our hearth, and all with
out and within is dismal, cold and dark

To REsUsCITATE THE DEowNED.-As this il
the season for bathing and for fatal accidents
in the water, we prepare the following drec-
tions for the guidance Of those who may need
to use them. We believe they embody all
that is material in restoring drowned person
though of course person who has been long
submerged would require the treatment of
careful physician after being revived


Use no harsh means, such as rolling on q
barrel, rolling on the ground, hanging by the
heels, or any Of the relics of barbarouS age


Have the body Immediately stripped and
wiped dry, aud either carried to bed or placed
upon dry blankets, with plenty Of covering
ready to retain the heat that you may succeed
in rousing


Then commence initiating the lungs in such a
manner as to make an artificial breathing
this may be done by holding the nose of the
person and forcing through the mouth into the
lungs sufficient air for a natural breath, imme-
diately expelling 1T by all upward pressure just
below the ribs. Or, the air may be thrown
into the lungs by applying the pipe of bel.
lows to one nostrl while holding the other
nostril and mouth firmly closed


This initiation Of the lungs is the sheet an
chlr, and must not be intermitted, except to
turn the head and body upon the side to let
out any water that may be forced into the
throat and mouth.


While this imitation is going on, let as many
warm, dry hands be rubbing the limbs, as eau
be employed or let the body be enveloped in
hot fanneIS, and cloths wrung from not water
be applied at all events get and keep the body
warm.


These two points-getting the lungs to
breathing and the body warn-are the main
chance, and in fact the only chance and the
treatment must not he stopped for anything
else until the person is given over for dead


This method OF treatment is so simple that
it can be conducted by any person Of common
sense, and should not be discontinued for at
least live or six hours


1t may be that the application Of electrici-
ty, after tue other Treatment is fairly ut work,
may scrVe to rouse vitality, but of this we are
in doubt and believe it should not be too free
ly used.-N0rth and !S0uth

HUSBAND AND WIFE.-Betweeny you two, let
no third person come to share the secret grief
or joy that belongs to your two hearts alone.
Let neither father, mother, brother, no sister
be the conidant of that which concerns your
domestic peace Bear all things, suffer all
things but in silence and sadness. Let a
moment of alienation, or years Of estrange-
ment, be healed and forgotten in after mo-
ments and years of intense love but never let
the wall of another's confidence be built up

PEACE AT HoME-It is just as possible to
keep calm house as a clean house, a cheerful
house, an orderly house, as a furnished houSe,
if the heads set themselves to do it. Where
is the difficulty of consulting each others
weaknesses as well as each others wants :?
each others temper, as well as each others
health !-each others comfort as well as each
others character Oh ! it is by leaving the
peace of home TO chance, instead of pursuing
it as a system, that so many houses are unhap-
py. 1t deserves notice that almost any one
can be courteous aud forbearing, and patient,
in neighbor'S house. If anything go wrong
or be out of time, or diSagreeable there, it is
made the best of, and not the worst even
efforts are made to excuse it, and to show that
it is not felt, or if felt it is attributed to acci
dent, not design and this is not only easy,
but natural in the house of friend. We will
not, therefore, believe that what is so natural
in the house of another, is impossible at home
but maintain without fear that all the cOurte-
sizes of social life may be maintained in do
mestc society A husband as willing to ne
pleased at home and as anxious to please as
in his neighbours house a wife as intent to
making things comfortable every day to her
family, as on set days to her guests, could not
tail to make their cwn home happy.


Let us not evade the point of these re-
marks by recurring to the maxim about allow
ances for temper 1t is worse than folly TO
refer to our temper unless we could prove that
we ever gained anything good by giving way
to it. Fits of i'll humor pain us quite as much,
if not more, than those they are vented upon
and it actually requires more effort and inacts
more pain to give them up, than would be re,
quiSite to avoid them

right, and fell while striving and even when
fallen, how it yearned for one more chance to

To secure the payment of the interest on
this debt, it appears that it is charge upon
the moneys in the Treasury in priority to all
other claims; and, in the event of the sum
being insufficient, prior charge is created
upon the first receipts of revenue thereafter.
As an additional security for the punctua pay
ment of the interest, the Bank Of England
is employed as the Government Agent
The number of accounts kept by the Bank
of England for the proprietors Of the public
debt is about 27O,OOO. The sum paid to
the bank to conduct this business is at the
rate of f340 for each million Of the debt.
The charge amounts to G25o,OOO a year!
The sum appears large in itself, but it is
doubtful if the Government could do the
business cheaper, and no one has ever ex-
pressed an opinion that it could be conducted
more perfectly, OF with greater security to
the holders of the debt. London Economist.
