God has so made the sexes that wo


men, like children, cling to the men,
lean upon them as though they were
superior in mind and body. They
make them the suns of systems, and
their children reyolve around them.
Men are gods, if they but knew it, and
women burning incense at these
shrines. Women therefore, who have
good minds and pure hearts, want
men to lean upon. Think of their rev.
erencing drunkard, liar, a fool, or a
libertine. Ifs man would have a wo-
man to do him homage. he must be
manly in every sense; true gentleman;
not after the Chesterfield school, but
polite, because his heart is full of
kindness to all; one who treats her with
respect, even Difference, because she is
a woman; who never condescends to
say silly things to her; who brings her
up to his level, if his mind is above
hers; who is never over-anxious to do
right; who has no time to be frivolous
with her. Always dignifed in speech
and act, who never spends too much
upon her; never yields to temptation,
even if she puts it in his way; ambi-
tious to make his mark in the world,
whether she encourages him or not;
who is never familiar with her to the
extent of being an adopted brother or
cousin; who is not over-careful about
dress; always pleasant and considerate,
but always keeping his place of the
man, the head, and never losing it.
Such department, with noble princi-
pies, good mind, energy and industry,
will win any woman in the world who
is worth winning.

In the year 18-, there resided in
the north of England a gentleman who
was known as Sir Walter Marston.-
He was one of those men who are
cool and calculating - always look.
ing before them. He had made all his
money at IRON working; but after get
ting his title he thought fit to "selI out
and retire.


He accordingly chose a residence in
Durham, and resided there for three
years, when he determined to build a
large mansion for himself; and he &C
cordingly consulted with an architect,
and the drawing and specifications were
made out, tenders received, and the
work proceeded with.


Now when this mansion was built,
Sir William found that every one was
admiring it, and artists came and
sketched it before the glass was in the
windows. Every one declared it per-
fection, all but Sir William himself.


A very unpleasant idea had come
into Sir Williams head. He intended
to keep good many valuables, as well
as money, on the premises. Thus the
question arose, "Was it burglar
proof" The architect assured him
it was; the Inspector of police said so,
too; he thought so himself--but he
would like to be sure. The following
advertisement accordingly appeared in
some of the local papers few days af-
ter the house was finished:


NOTICE TO BURGLARS AND


OTHERS.


Whereas, Sir William Marston, hav-
ing gone to great expense in the build
ing of his new mansion, "Fallow Hill"
is desirous of ascertaining whether it
be burglar proof or not, and with that
object has placed in his writing-table
drawer the sum of FIVE hundred pounds
And whosoever shall, with the ordina-
ry appliances of burglar, contrive to
abstract the said five hundred pounds
authom being caught in the act, shall be
permitted to enjoy the same, on condi-
ton that he write to the said Sir Will
liam Marston and fully inform him how
he did succeed in abstracting the same;
and be it known, no steps shall be taken
to recover the money or bring the Of
fender to justice. But if the burglar
be caught, he shall be bound to state
how he entered the premises aud how
he proposed abstracting the money,
and then he shall be permitted to de-
part.


A week passed, and Sir William was
getting in servants for his establish
ment, buying furniture, horses and car
riages, and all the paraphernalia nee
essary for the comfort of a mansion
Still there came no answer to his ex-
traordinary advertisement. AT last a
thought struck him. He put the ad-
vertisement in again, adding that "no
extraordinary precautions would be
taken to preserve the house from being
broken into"

In this country there is no working
man, be he ever so poor and humble,
who may not, if he will, better his con-
dition with each succeeding year. To
do this, he must correct the habit of
spending every week the full weeks
earnings He must begin by saving
little instead of spending all. Half a
dollar will amount to twenty-six dol
lars year. In four years this saving
will give the sum of over hundred
dollars. In ten years, adding interest
to his savings, the poor man will be
able to buy little house. Ifhe saves
a dollar a week instead of half a dol
lar, he can have a house twice as
large; and larger still in proportion to
the weekly amount Of his savings.
Who will not be householder? 1t is
what we waste, or spend in useless
self indulgence, that keeps US poor.

II. II. Butler will be in the next
Congress, our living witness that the
Democracy oftie first district lost their
contest because they deemed it wise to
fight the devil with fire, an operation
inewhich his s~satauic majesty always
succeeds. Had we fought Butler with
a man who was the representative OF
sobriety, morality and pecuniary res
possibility, and who added to these a
sound political record, we could have
succeeded. 1t Is idle to assert that the
party did not sustain Mr.. White. The
assertion is of itself confession OF
Judgement He was not sustained be-
cause he was not satisfactory TO the
people. As a Union man who well
coined Stoneman and Gillem on their
burning expeditions, he might have
been pardoned by those who fought
them by the light of their burning
homes. But as scallawag in 1866,
one year after the surrender, pleading
at that late day for the disfranchise-
mert of all rebels, whether citizens or
soldiers, he could have been over
looked, because nothing was expected
of him. His plea that rebels should lie
excluded from controlling the morol,
social. religious or politician affairs OF
the government, was regarded as so
wholly in keeping with Il life which
was familiar with debauchery that by
it the people were compelled to mea-
sure him, and for it alone they would
at any time have stamped out his very
soaring aspirations. How easy it would
have been to defeat Butler with sound
man the recent canvass aOuudantly
proves. Now let Mr.. Willie step aside,
and two yeals hence we propose to
show him that times have so far i'm
proved The standard by which our
public representatives are tried that he
must pass entirely from view. EXIT

OF the way in which Webster prepared

eariy--earlier even than was bis custom-to
prepare himself 30 speak upon it. From long

lie brought his speech on the tariff to a
conclusion as speedily as he could, and bpr-
ried home to make such preparation for the
great law argument as the shortness of the
Eotiee would permit. lie ha0 then taken no
food since his mornings breakfast; but IN
stead of dining he took moderate dose OF
medicine and went to bed, and TO sleep. AT
10 p. N. he awoke, called for o bowl of tea,
and without other refreshment, went imme-

There are but few inventions or discoveries
which produce Il complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed, year ago,
that tho dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty or thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded as an indication Of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt, that this process not only cleans the clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such surposition has no
foundation in fact. and is contradicted by the ex-

of washing.
