The WIFE.-Only let woman be sure
that she is precious to her husband-not


useful, not valuable, not convenient, SIM
reception of his polite, heartily attentions


let her feel that her care and love are no.
ticed, appreciated and returned let her
opinion be asked and her approval sought,


and her judgement respected in matters of
which she Is cognizant; i'll short, let her
only be loved, honored and cherished, in full


fillment of the marriage vow, and she will
be to her husband, her children and society
a well-spring of pleasure. She will bear
pain, and toll, and anxiety for her hus-
bands love is to her tower and fortress
Shielded and sheltered therein, adversity


will have lost its sting. She may suffer,
but sympathy will dull the edge of sorrow.


A house with love in it--and by love we
mean love expressed in words, and looks,
and deeds, for we have not one spark of
faith in love that never crops OUTS to
house without love as person to a ma
chine one is love, the other is smechanism.
The unloved woman may have bread Just
as light, house just as tidy as the other,
but the latter has a spring of beauty about
her, a Joyousness, an aggressive and pene-
trating and pervading brightness to which
the former is a stranger. The deep happi-
ness in her heart shines out in her face
This is ray of sunlight in the house She
CLEANS over it 1t is airy and gay, grace
ful and warm, and welcoming with her
presence she is full of devices and plots,
and sweet surprises for her husband and
family she has never done with the ro-
nance of life she, herself, is lyric poem,
setting herself to all pure and gracious mel
odes. Humble household ways and duties
have for her a golden significance. The
prize made the calling high; and the end
sanctifes the means, "love is heaven, and
heaven is love-"

Those who are inclined to reading by the

happiest to them. At such times an in
structive book or newspaper are the best
companions. With their authors we keep
up continual conversation, imbibing their
ideas and admiring their sentiments. Here
thoughts are presented in the most chaste
language, and the companion of the even

agreeable, is laid away to be called up
again on the next OCCASION The rapid Pc

Do not read what you cannot appreciate,
because it looks learned to do so. A book,
written in simple language and upon an
ordinary subject, is worth more than one,
no matter how talented its author, which
you cannot read nnderstandingly, and whose

pretentious publications, which cannot fail

or made to know their places, and if the
great body of the people could be reach
ed and addressed only by unmistaka-
bly, loyal " men, the most marked inn
provement would soon be visible, and
the day would not be distant when the
old attachment to the Union would re-
vive, and would manifest itself as in for
mer times. The President has repeated
ly said that no man should be appoint
ed or elected to office in the Southern
States who is not thorougly loyal. In
deed, he has gone SO far as to say that
all persons appointed or elected should
be such as "have never faltered in their
allegianceto to the government" He has
not changed this opinion. He is willing
to pardon the great body Of those who
fomented the rebellion, and who insist
ed on fighting it out to the bitter end,
and to restore to them the protection of
the civil law; but he is infexibly OPP
posed to their taking leading part
either in Congress or in the affairs of
the States at home. He thinks that be-
fore they are received into the church,
they should "bring forth fruits meet
for repentance"


This proclamation is the finishing
step in the work of restoration, so far as
the President is concerned. HIS duty
has been ably and faithfully discharged.
1t has been discharged according to the
Constitution, and in the true spirit Of
our republican forms. 1t now remains
for the Congress to act. What that
action will be no one can foresee. The
probability that Tennessee will be ad
mitted at an early day and that, by
concurrent resolution, the two Houses
will declare that whenever the Other
States shall comply with certain condi
tions with respect to loyalty, their mem
bers also will be admitted to their seats
We do not apprehend, however, that
Congress will attempt to dictate to the
States on the subject of negro suffrage

A disagreement between the President and
Senator Cowan is likely to arise. Cowan openly
expresses his disapproyal OF the appointment of
persons to office who have been rejected by the
Senate. He says 1t will do no good, but en-
bitter the feelings of Senators towards the Pre-
sident, and result in aggressive legislation re.
garding such cases, to prevent the appointees
from holding their positions. Measures of This
kind may be looked tor early at the opening of
the next session. as the Senate will wait for the
President to send In the nominations for coafr-
nation, which he may not do till nearly the
close of the session, but the Senators will not
wait for this procrastination, and active
measures to oust them may be confidently ex-
pected.


The superintendent of Public Printing.


This position seems to go begging Although
a very desirable one, under ordinary crcum-
stances yet at the present time the politicians
or at least those who are eligible for it Cos a
practical printer is required TO fill iD, seem
disposed 10 give it WIDE berth. They fear that
when Congress reassembles in December next,
the present law will be altered so as to make
the Office of Public Printer an elective, one as
formerly. Hence, the present incumbent Mr..
Defrees, continues to hold on, although he has
frequently expressed desire to be relieved as
soon as possible. From present indications, It
is not likely there will be any change during the
recess.

Governor Gardner, and have since re-

ing the duties of that position, which
we give below;

While, then, l shall look to you for

as far as can, that shall aim at 8
faithful and conscientious discharge o.

necessarily imposed upon me.


Thanking you again for the honor yor

DRUGs AND MRpICIN Es.-While most
of the business of Rutland has been
transacted in late years in what is known
as "down.town, a few merchants still
cling to their old places of business on
Main street, and do q thriving business.
Prominent among this class is Mr..
George E. Graves, dealer in drugs, medi-
cines, dye.stufTs, chemicals &C, who,
notwithstanding that he is located Cup
town" is in no way lacking in public
spirit or business tact. BY reference to

that his stock is most complete, and par

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE GAS 4?
Judging from the manner in which
the affairs of the Rutland Gas Light
Company are managed, or az least the
effort made by that corporation to sup
ply our citizens with gas, it has become
a decidedly One-horse institution, and
through neglect to pump out water
which accumulates in the pipes on Mer-
chants Row, our citizens residing east
of.that street are usually without gas
after II p. m. The gas furnished by
this company ispoor enough at all times,
but we see no good reason why the sup
ply should be cut off altogether after
midnight. win the company make a
note?

TORCH AND TURPENTINE.-The Demo

New York World, are shouting "Torch

They ascribe this phrase to Parson
Brownlow; but they took it from a
source which they admire and respect
more than they do the Tennessee loyal
ist. 1t was uttered by JEFF. Davis just
previous to his Inauguration in Ala
bama:


"The grass will grow in the Northern
cities where the pavements have been
worn off by the tread Of commerce.
We will carry war where it is easy to
advance, where food for the sword and
torch await our armies In the densely
populated cities and though the enemy
may come and spoil our crops, we can
raise them as before, while they cannot
rear the cities which took years of in
dustry and millions of money to build" )"
