A case Of this sort of eager intimacy occurred

most disastrously. \ young man, stopping

received by the young lady and parents.

ADVANTAGE OF BEING A WOMAN.-A wo-
man says what she chooses without being
abused for it. She can take a snooze after
dinner while her husband goes to work. She
can go out in the street without being asked to
stand treat at every saloon. She can stay at
home in time of war, and get married again If
her husband gets killed She can wear corsets
# too thick, and other fixings if too thin. She
can get divorce from her husband, ii she
sees one she likes better. She can get her hus-
band in debt, all over, until he warns the pub,
lie not to trust her on his account. But all
these advantages are balanced by the great
facts that she cannot sing bass, wear beard,
go sparkling, or climb tree, with any pro
priety.

friendly school he was no ways reformed, not
even in the least benefited thereby for per-
ceive by the index of his mind that he is
liar, and the truth is not in him; but his mo-
tons are wavering and irregular; that his i'm
pulses are sometimes very quick, which te-
token not an even temper; at other times it
waxeth sluggish Notwithstanding frequent

believe he is not right in the inward man.
Examine him, beseech thee, thoroughly,
that thou mayest, by being well acquainted
with his inward frame and disposition, draw
him from the error of his ways, and show him
the path wherein he should GO. And when
thou layest thy correcting hend npon him,
let it be without passion, lest thou drive him
TO destruction. Do thou regulate his motion
for the time TO come by the light that ruleth
the day; and let him learn from that uner-
ring guide the true calculation of his table
and education; and when thon findeth him
converted from the error of his ways, and
more conformsble to the above mentioned

Now what is ''success?" In the abstract,
to succeed means to attain your end, what
ever that end may be. But what this end
is, becomes the main question. l find con-
sequently that there are two kinds of sue
cess. The ono is outward, the other is in
ward.


Outward success is the achievement OF
results which command the admiration of
the world at large; and it is dependent up
on this admiration. Tho results aimed at
as for instance great fortune, political
power, social distinction, wide reputation,
and the like, are not really sought for their
own sake, but for what they bring, namely,
the applause OF mankind. A man who
should amass great wealth by means of
open robbery, even if he should escape
punishment through the loopholes of the
law, would not be regarded as success
ful' man; tho chief element of outward
success, public recognition, would be lack
ing, So in every case. What constitutes
the outward success is not achievement of
tho ostensible end, but OF the real, under
lying end, to which the other is merely a
means. In other words, the attainment of
a professed object by no means makes an
outward success, unless the world votes it

A STRANGE OCCURRENCE.-A fow days
ago, snake was found suspended in spi-
dor web under shelf in the store OF
Messrs. Johnson q Bradner, at Mosby
Greek. On inspection il was clearly ascer-
tanned that the snake, about foot in length
and still alive, had been literally captured
by spider about the size of common
house fly. The spider had spun his web
tightly around tho neck and entire head of
the snake, and drawn him clear from the
floor, making him close prisoner. The
snake was taken, while yet in the coils of
the spider, to a photographer. After the
photograph was taken, the web was re-
moved from the snake, whereupon he
struck all around evidently showing de-
sire to avengo himself for the terrible in
dignity put upon him by 80 insignificant
creature as a spider not much larger than a
grain of wheat.

TITUS West Dc Co. Us. Adams Express COnlpdny.-
This action to the value Of 447 boxes
OF peaches shipped from Fortress Monroe In tue
month Of july 1857 to the plaintiffs, who are fruit
dealers In the city Of New York. 1t appeared from
the testimony that only portion OF the conslgn-
ment, consisting Of sixty-seven boxes was brought
on to New York, and the res. were conveyed as far
Baltimore, where they were sold at very re-
duced price and in a bad condition. Tine defence was
that the express company forwarded as many Of the
peaches as they could under the circumstances, the
freight question having been brought to the wharf
at Fortress Monroe just as the boat was about leav
ing the wharf, and would nave missed her connec-
ton II she had delayed to take on board the whole OF

There are but few inventions discoveries
which produce a complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed. year ago,
that the dirtest 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 MRond 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
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the
perence of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing.


Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
haye expressed themselves highly pleased with

cated, its full merits cannot be properly set

Thousand boilers were sold in New York City in less
than five onths, from one stand, and at this time
the orders reach about hundred day. Nc
one ever used it as directed that did not recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by more than five
thousand persons in less than six months. Among
the names those of the most distinguished cit
izens of the United States but the best recommen-
dation is to take the boiler and it yourself Do
just as you directed and you will be more than
satisfied 1t appeals to us all as matter of econ
omy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
investment. 1t will return a yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. on the
money invested. For instance, we will suppose
yonr white clothing such as bed and table linen


ladies' and gentemcns' wear, and chidrens' cloth
ing only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
as long WASHED in this way as by the old method.
Thus, you actually save 500 year by investing 10
or 200 per cent. annually. There is no family

Fill the boiler with soft. water to within about
three inches IF the top of the inside boiler. Slice
up one pound bar of good hard soap.


Bring the water to a boil, and then place the
clothes in the lot water. The water will imme-
dately pour the shell all around, and if it
ills raise the lid.


Keep up t fire for twenty minutes. Then
take the clothes out ard Immediately SUBS them
through in soft water. If any shade OF the dirt
mains. few rubs will take it all out Then
rinse them in clean water wiring dry, and the wash
ing is done. Give particular heed to the following
SUGGESTIONS.


The clothes need not be wet before placing them
in the Boiler. 1t is of vital importance to THOR
0UGHLY SUDS the clothing alter boiling. Every
lady knows that the least particle of suds left in
the clothes to dry will cause the clothes to look
yellow. brisk fire is important in order to Iro-
duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
turning the clothes occasionally while boiling.


The cover shoald not be removed, except when
necessary, in order to insure quick work. If the
washing be large one, the clothes should be as
sorted, as dirty shirts, for instance, will require
double the time of sheets, pillow cases, napkins,
&C.


Articles much soiled may be left in for second
boiling. White fannels may be beautiful washed
(without FULLING) by this process. They
should be put in when the water is hot, and rinsed
out in hot water.


Colored clothes should not be mixed with white,
and unles, the colo-s fast they should be
washed by this process. The most delicate laces,
cambrics, &C., such as would nearly fall to pieces
if washed in the ordinary way, may be was he'd per-
fecly, without injury by this process. The almost
absolute ne essity of using soft. or "broken, -
mention here.


No machine ever invented will entirely remove
the streaks from dirty wrist bands and Collars
THIS Self washing Boiler more nearly does it than
any other device. Should shade or streak remain,
it i'll be found to be so reduced and softened as to
disappear without the of a wash board, by
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding
all the wear and tear of clothing by washing. 1t
has been carefully estimated that clothing receives
more than ONE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
process of RUBBING, land consequently will last
twice as long il washed by this process, which
alone would pay for Boiler many times during
sin lie year, in almost any family, to say nothing
Of the important consideration cf saving labor.
