Tue Irish AND WELLER.—Mr. Weller in his speech in this place, declared he was not traveling for the purpose of soliciting votes from the people, but to learn who are the reliable men of the various sections of the State. Nevertheless he took a great deal of pains to set himself right with the Irish. The murder of Keating was alluded to, and an attempt made by Weller to wash his hands of ali blame in saving Herbert from the law. Weller in his speech says Herbert was a stranger to him, that he took no means to screen the guilty, but to give him a fair and impartial trial. Is this sot While traversing the State (not for the purpose of seeking votes—oh, no!) he desires to have it understood that Herbert was a stranger. In an address to the people of this State, soon after the bloody event, Weller called the killer of Irishmen friend, and admitted that personal relations induced him to defend the murderer before the people of California. He went further, and endeavored to force Herbert again upon the respect and confidence of the people. Let Irishmen read: To the People of California:—It is due to you that I should make a brief statement of the circumstances connected with the unfortunate renconter at Willard’s hotel, in which my colleague, Hon. P. T. Herbert committed homi cide. The facts have been so shamefully misrepresented by the press, that I am constrained by public as well as personal relations which I sustain to that gentleman, to present this case in its true light. Itrust you may find however deeply we may deplore the result, he has done NOTHING to FORFEIT the CONFIDENCE and RESPECT you have hitherto reposed in HIM. I attended the two examinations as his counsel and FRIEND—one before Justices Birch and Smith, and the other before Judge Crawford, of the U.S. District Court, and I reduced to writing the whole testimony, and think I fully comprehend it. Goop ADVICE To THE WoMEN Fotks. —The editor of the Charleston Courant, who evidently is a man of good sense, in his Fourth July address, gives some very good advice to the women folks— so good that we cannot refrain from picking out a “specimen brick,” as follows: ~ “We advise our gentle friends of the other sex to get up for themselves a new Declaration of Independence.— There are some, perhaps it would not be slanderous to say, a good many, who have notions of independence not such as we like; independence of the restraints of politeness and true courtesy, of woman delicacy which shrinks from making a show of itself, of the necessi. ty of being industrious and prudent, the true and saered responsibilities of woman’s sphere; not of the bonds of matrimony, yet too often, of its most momentous duties, of parental restraint and authority, while they live in their parents’ home. Not such independence as this. There is already too much of it. We would have our young women declare themselves independent of the caprices of foreign fashion, of the dictates of any fashion which is against their own good taste and judgment. We would have them free of the misleading influences of certain inmates of their own bosoms; vanity, that loves to be noticed and admired, and seeks its ends by extravagance of dress, whether in material or style; the sentimental weakness that makes them languish and weep and dream over foolish stories ; the so frequent error of thinking that the one gieat end of life is to get married, without taking thought of their fitness to assume and well discharge the duties of home life; the hardly less frequent error of thinking it all one thing to be handsome and beautiful; so that in striving for the first, or for the seeming of it, they divest themselves of the last vestige of the other, which cannot exist where there is vanity, self conceit and complacency in mere symmetry of figure or feature and fairness of complexion. We advise our young friends to practice the virtue of economy, and to persuade themselves that when they buy silk dresses and cheap jewelry to the extent of their means, they do most surely exemplify an old proverb, which we would not on any account be so uncourteous as to repeat tothem. Let the women of our own dear land be such as a free nation ought to have, as sensible, prudent and wise as they are fair.” Tue Unirep States Bank.—The books, papers, draughts, notes of hand, &e., formerly the property of the United States Bank, to the amovnt of forty tuns, have been purchased by Messrs. Bottom & Co., Trenton, are to be ground up and converted into paper. The True American says ten tuns of this vast pile is of correspondence, autograph letters of the first statesmen, politicians; and financial men of this and other countries. Drafts upon the Rothschilds for hundreds of thousands of dollars, certificates of stock transferred to the leading bankers in Europe, checks and drafts from Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Houston, Crockett, Cass, &c., all lay seattered, ready for the transformation into clean, unsullied white paper. This huge mass of books and papers strikes the visitor with astonishment. A faint idea may be formed of the colossal character of the institution, which at one time occuJoun PHoEnix in THE Lapigs’ Car. —John Phenix, the inimitable wit, thus tells an incident connected with a ride on the N. Y. Central Railroad. He relates it in a letter to the Knickerbocker Magazine, and puts it on record to serve as a caution to future innocent travelers. He says: “I had observed that at each change of cars, and they were frequent, when the general rush took place, one car was defended from the assault by a stalwart man, usually of Irish persuasion, who, deaf to menaces, unsoftened by entreaty, and uncorrupted by bribes, maintained his post for the benefit of the ‘ladies.’ ‘Ladies’ car, sir, av you please; forrid ear for gentlemen without ladies.’ Need I say that this car so reserved was by far the most comfortabie of the train, and that with that stern resolve which ever distinguishes me in the discharge of my duty to myself, I determined to get into it cute pui cute ? So when we changed cars at Utica, I rushed forth, and seeing a nice young person, with pretty face, bonnet and shawl, and a large portmanteau, urging her way through the crowd, I stepped up by her side, and with my native grace and gallantry, offered my arm and my assistance. They were gratefully accepted; and proud of my success, I ushered my fair charge up to the platform of the ladies’ car. My old enemy was holding the door. ‘Is that your lady, sir?’ said he. With an inward apology to Mrs. Phenix for the great injustice done to her charms by the admission, I replied ‘Yes.’ Judge of my horror when this low employee of a monopolising and unaccommodating Railroad Company, addressing my companion with the tone and manner of an old acquaintance, said, ‘Well, Sall, I guess you’ve done well, but I don’t believe his family will think much of the match!’ ” Cause of the Aurora Borealis—M. de la Rive, the celebrated Genevan natural philosopher, is the author of a long memoir on the Aurora Borealis, in which he attempts to account tor that phenomenon in = very simple, and certainly not unphilosophical way. The distinguished author holds that what is termed the Aurora Borealis is owing to electrical discharges taking place in the polar regions, between the terrestrial globe and the atmosphere, by means of icy particles suspended in it there, while the charge takes place in the equatorial region by the direct or the indirect action of the sun. These.electrical discharges taking place constantly, but with varying intensity according to the state ot the atmosphere, the Aurora Borealis must be a daily phenomenon, although with differing mtenseness; its visibility extends consequently to varying distances, and depends also on the transparency of the atmosphere during the night. TEMPERATURE OF THE EartH.—The opinion that the interior of the earth is a mass of fiame, is founded chiefly on the existence of hot springs and voleanoes, and the fact that below fifty feet from the surface the temperature increases about one degree for every fiftyfive feet of descent. Says a writer: “Then water must be wholly converted into steam at a depth of two miles ; lead must melt at a depth of six miles; gold at a depth of twenty miles; cast iron at a depth of about twenty-five miles; and at a depth of less than fifty miles the very rocks must be in a state of fusion, or like flowing lava. The solid crust of the earth, by this calculation, is only the one-hundred-and-sixtieth part of its diameter, and bears about the same relation thereto as the shell of an egg bears to its bulk.” GriEviInG FoR Lost Pearus.—It would be hard to tell whether most joy or sorrow has been caused at Notch Brook, N. J., by the discovery of the pearls. Dozens are bemoaning fortunes that, in days past, they carelessly flung away. One matron unavailingly sighs over some “little white things’ that she once gave her boys for marbles. <A school master lugubriously remembered that he had chopped up eight or ten thousand dollars’ worth, with his pen knife, “to see what was inside.” Another genius rammed a pearl bullet down his rifle and shot away his fortune. An old lady who chuckled six months over her “zood bargain with the peddler,”’ now discovers that she paid him in pearls, about seven thousand dollars for acalico dress. It is needless to say she hasn’t laughed since. The unfortunate man who had the $25,000 one cooked for his breakfast has taken to his bed in utter despair, and refuses to be comforted.—Eachange. Kitt on Curg.—At the Marquesas Islands, when one of their number is very sick the medicine they give is a coffin. They lay it alongside of a sick person ; and if he is really going to die, it helps him off. If not, it starts him up! Py missionary who was lately on one of these istands, states that the people there are now increasing in number, which he attributes to the introduction of fire arms. Formerly, when they fought with clubs, their warfare was very destructive; but the muskets were so sure to kill that they fought two miles off, and when they had discharged their muskets, both parties ran! When he discovered this, he encouraged them to buy guns, and he supposed there was one to every man-on the island. SPECULATION tn SovutrnwesT Missour!l.—We learn from the Springfield (Mo.) Advertiser that about 90,000 aeres of land have been entered at the land office in Springfield during the past month, The greater portion of this land has been taken up by speculators in large bodies, The large bodies of arable prairie lands have generally been _ Cupa anp THe Stave Trape.—A letter from Madrid gives the names, of five American vessels, varying from 110 to 130 tons, that were lately purchased in Havana for the slave trade. The titer remarks : eet: a Ifthe infamous trade, covertly sanctioned in Cuba by the Spanish Captains General, is to be effectually and permanently stopped, it must be by a stern and decided demonstration. The. best and indeed the only one, that natarall suggests itself, is a bloskade of Cuba. Such a measure would strike a terror in Spain, would shake the present ministry and quickly produce effectual guarantees. Any thing less than that will produce nothing but reiterated promises, ever unfulfilled, and continued. disappointments to those who interest themselves, whether as a matter of right, or as a matter of feeling and humanity in the suppression of the slave trade . _ Another letter states that the trade iscarried on more extensively than ever, and the treaty on the subject is constantly violated. {> On Davy Crockett’s return to hig constituents after his first session in Congress, a quantity of them surrounded him one dey, ani began to interrogate him about things at Washington. “What time do they dine at Washington. Colonel?’ asked one. “Why,” said he, “common. people, such as you are, “get their dinner at one o’clock, but the big guns dine at three. As for us representatives we dine at four—and the aristocracy and the Senate, they don’t get their feed till five.’ “When does the President fodder?” asked another. “Old Hickory !” exclaimed the Colonel, “if he dines before the next day, I wish I may te teetotally —!” fF The Duchess Regent of Parma has just conferred a gold medal upon Luigina Spazzina, a girl of fifteen, as a reward for the spirit which she exhibited in defending herself and the household against a robber who broke in while Luigina was left alone there.— She attacked him with a knif:, wounded him, and put him to. flight. When her father returned home, she went with him and a man named Gobbi in pursuit of the robber, who was arrested. The Grand Secret of Louis Napoleon's Success —It has been stated that the Emperor is in possession of the talisman of Charlemagne, This relic, which has been mentioned, contains a piece of the true cross, and was, in 797, sent by Haroun al Raschid to Charlemagne, with, according to the chronicle of St. Martin, “the swaddling clothes of our Saviour, the crown of thorns, the winding sheet, the chemise of the Holy Virgin, the arm of Saint Simeon, and the keys of the Holy Sepulchre.” All these objects were conveyed to aix la Chapelle, and were deposited in the church, whence they passed into the Emperor’s hands. TerrisLe.— The Boston Trareler makes the following reckless attempt at fun : While at the artists’ exhibition yesteiday, our reporter was standing near Stephenson’s bust of Ruth. A friend, pointing to the veiled head of the Jewish maiden, said: “It is not every girl that gets such a beau as (Boaz) she did.” The reportor meditated, then smiled, and immediately proposed to expend a couple of shillings for the pun. “Nay, owe me (Naomi,”’) said the wag. Think ing the neighborhood too warm, the reporter turned to look at Champney’s magnificent snow-covered mountains. ° [= Prentice, of the Louisville Joureal, speaking of a getleman with whom he was not on very good terms, said: He talks as if his diet were lion-steaks easoned with gunpowder and broiled n burning lava, whereas his actual dit is probably rabbit’s livers, sheep's lucks, and pigeon’s gizzards. te Hume, the Spiritualist, who has een amusing the Court of France with his tricks, recently announced the presence of a distinguished spirit, when the Emperor, who was present, received a violent kick in the rear. On inquiring who this exceedingly “familiar spirit” was, the answer was given that it was “Louis Philippe!” Hume will do. Founn Ovut.—A young lady who has been traveling about Canada recently, dressed in male attire, and trying to pt tain employment as a compositor in various printing offices, turns out to be the daughter of Mr. D’Enny, a surveyor and crown land agent in Peterboro, C. W., and her name is Minnia Augusta Celeste D’Enny. Itseemsshe deserted her luxurious home about six months since, under the influence of a passion for the stage.

Tue Irish AND WELLER.—Mr. Weller in his speech in this place, declared he was not traveling for the purpose of soliciting votes from the people, but to learn who are the reliable men of the various sections of the State. Nevertheless he took a great deal of pains to set himself right with the Irish. The murder of Keating was alluded to, and an attempt made by Weller to wash his hands of ali blame in saving Herbert from the law. Weller in his speech says Herbert was a stranger to him, that he took no means to screen the guilty, but to give him a fair and impartial trial. Is this sot While traversing the State (not for the purpose of seeking votes—oh, no!) he desires to have it understood that Herbert was a stranger. In an address to the people of this State, soon after the bloody event, Weller called the killer of Irishmen friend, and admitted that personal relations induced him to defend the murderer before the people of California. He went further, and endeavored to force Herbert again upon the respect and confidence of the people. Let Irishmen read: To the People of California:—It is due to you that I should make a brief statement of the circumstances connected with the unfortunate renconter at Willard’s hotel, in which my colleague, Hon. P. T. Herbert committed homi cide. The facts have been so shamefully misrepresented by the press, that I am constrained by public as well as personal relations which I sustain to that gentleman, to present this case in its true light. Itrust you may find however deeply we may deplore the result, he has done NOTHING to FORFEIT the CONFIDENCE and RESPECT you have hitherto reposed in HIM. I attended the two examinations as his counsel and FRIEND—one before Justices Birch and Smith, and the other before Judge Crawford, of the U.S. District Court, and I reduced to writing the whole testimony, and think I fully comprehend it. Goop ADVICE To THE WoMEN Fotks. —The editor of the Charleston Courant, who evidently is a man of good sense, in his Fourth July address, gives some very good advice to the women folks— so good that we cannot refrain from picking out a “specimen brick,” as follows: ~ “We advise our gentle friends of the other sex to get up for themselves a new Declaration of Independence.— There are some, perhaps it would not be slanderous to say, a good many, who have notions of independence not such as we like; independence of the restraints of politeness and true courtesy, of woman delicacy which shrinks from making a show of itself, of the necessi. ty of being industrious and prudent, the true and saered responsibilities of woman’s sphere; not of the bonds of matrimony, yet too often, of its most momentous duties, of parental restraint and authority, while they live in their parents’ home. Not such independence as this. There is already too much of it. We would have our young women declare themselves independent of the caprices of foreign fashion, of the dictates of any fashion which is against their own good taste and judgment. We would have them free of the misleading influences of certain inmates of their own bosoms; vanity, that loves to be noticed and admired, and seeks its ends by extravagance of dress, whether in material or style; the sentimental weakness that makes them languish and weep and dream over foolish stories ; the so frequent error of thinking that the one gieat end of life is to get married, without taking thought of their fitness to assume and well discharge the duties of home life; the hardly less frequent error of thinking it all one thing to be handsome and beautiful; so that in striving for the first, or for the seeming of it, they divest themselves of the last vestige of the other, which cannot exist where there is vanity, self conceit and complacency in mere symmetry of figure or feature and fairness of complexion. We advise our young friends to practice the virtue of economy, and to persuade themselves that when they buy silk dresses and cheap jewelry to the extent of their means, they do most surely exemplify an old proverb, which we would not on any account be so uncourteous as to repeat tothem. Let the women of our own dear land be such as a free nation ought to have, as sensible, prudent and wise as they are fair.” Tue Unirep States Bank.—The books, papers, draughts, notes of hand, &e., formerly the property of the United States Bank, to the amovnt of forty tuns, have been purchased by Messrs. Bottom & Co., Trenton, are to be ground up and converted into paper. The True American says ten tuns of this vast pile is of correspondence, autograph letters of the first statesmen, politicians; and financial men of this and other countries. Drafts upon the Rothschilds for hundreds of thousands of dollars, certificates of stock transferred to the leading bankers in Europe, checks and drafts from Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Houston, Crockett, Cass, &c., all lay seattered, ready for the transformation into clean, unsullied white paper. This huge mass of books and papers strikes the visitor with astonishment. A faint idea may be formed of the colossal character of the institution, which at one time occuJoun PHoEnix in THE Lapigs’ Car. —John Phenix, the inimitable wit, thus tells an incident connected with a ride on the N. Y. Central Railroad. He relates it in a letter to the Knickerbocker Magazine, and puts it on record to serve as a caution to future innocent travelers. He says: “I had observed that at each change of cars, and they were frequent, when the general rush took place, one car was defended from the assault by a stalwart man, usually of Irish persuasion, who, deaf to menaces, unsoftened by entreaty, and uncorrupted by bribes, maintained his post for the benefit of the ‘ladies.’ ‘Ladies’ car, sir, av you please; forrid ear for gentlemen without ladies.’ Need I say that this car so reserved was by far the most comfortabie of the train, and that with that stern resolve which ever distinguishes me in the discharge of my duty to myself, I determined to get into it cute pui cute ? So when we changed cars at Utica, I rushed forth, and seeing a nice young person, with pretty face, bonnet and shawl, and a large portmanteau, urging her way through the crowd, I stepped up by her side, and with my native grace and gallantry, offered my arm and my assistance. They were gratefully accepted; and proud of my success, I ushered my fair charge up to the platform of the ladies’ car. My old enemy was holding the door. ‘Is that your lady, sir?’ said he. With an inward apology to Mrs. Phenix for the great injustice done to her charms by the admission, I replied ‘Yes.’ Judge of my horror when this low employee of a monopolising and unaccommodating Railroad Company, addressing my companion with the tone and manner of an old acquaintance, said, ‘Well, Sall, I guess you’ve done well, but I don’t believe his family will think much of the match!’ ” Cause of the Aurora Borealis—M. de la Rive, the celebrated Genevan natural philosopher, is the author of a long memoir on the Aurora Borealis, in which he attempts to account tor that phenomenon in = very simple, and certainly not unphilosophical way. The distinguished author holds that what is termed the Aurora Borealis is owing to electrical discharges taking place in the polar regions, between the terrestrial globe and the atmosphere, by means of icy particles suspended in it there, while the charge takes place in the equatorial region by the direct or the indirect action of the sun. These.electrical discharges taking place constantly, but with varying intensity according to the state ot the atmosphere, the Aurora Borealis must be a daily phenomenon, although with differing mtenseness; its visibility extends consequently to varying distances, and depends also on the transparency of the atmosphere during the night. TEMPERATURE OF THE EartH.—The opinion that the interior of the earth is a mass of fiame, is founded chiefly on the existence of hot springs and voleanoes, and the fact that below fifty feet from the surface the temperature increases about one degree for every fiftyfive feet of descent. Says a writer: “Then water must be wholly converted into steam at a depth of two miles ; lead must melt at a depth of six miles; gold at a depth of twenty miles; cast iron at a depth of about twenty-five miles; and at a depth of less than fifty miles the very rocks must be in a state of fusion, or like flowing lava. The solid crust of the earth, by this calculation, is only the one-hundred-and-sixtieth part of its diameter, and bears about the same relation thereto as the shell of an egg bears to its bulk.” GriEviInG FoR Lost Pearus.—It would be hard to tell whether most joy or sorrow has been caused at Notch Brook, N. J., by the discovery of the pearls. Dozens are bemoaning fortunes that, in days past, they carelessly flung away. One matron unavailingly sighs over some “little white things’ that she once gave her boys for marbles. <A school master lugubriously remembered that he had chopped up eight or ten thousand dollars’ worth, with his pen knife, “to see what was inside.” Another genius rammed a pearl bullet down his rifle and shot away his fortune. An old lady who chuckled six months over her “zood bargain with the peddler,”’ now discovers that she paid him in pearls, about seven thousand dollars for acalico dress. It is needless to say she hasn’t laughed since. The unfortunate man who had the $25,000 one cooked for his breakfast has taken to his bed in utter despair, and refuses to be comforted.—Eachange. Kitt on Curg.—At the Marquesas Islands, when one of their number is very sick the medicine they give is a coffin. They lay it alongside of a sick person ; and if he is really going to die, it helps him off. If not, it starts him up! Py missionary who was lately on one of these istands, states that the people there are now increasing in number, which he attributes to the introduction of fire arms. Formerly, when they fought with clubs, their warfare was very destructive; but the muskets were so sure to kill that they fought two miles off, and when they had discharged their muskets, both parties ran! When he discovered this, he encouraged them to buy guns, and he supposed there was one to every man-on the island. SPECULATION tn SovutrnwesT Missour!l.—We learn from the Springfield (Mo.) Advertiser that about 90,000 aeres of land have been entered at the land office in Springfield during the past month, The greater portion of this land has been taken up by speculators in large bodies, The large bodies of arable prairie lands have generally been _ Cupa anp THe Stave Trape.—A letter from Madrid gives the names, of five American vessels, varying from 110 to 130 tons, that were lately purchased in Havana for the slave trade. The titer remarks : eet: a Ifthe infamous trade, covertly sanctioned in Cuba by the Spanish Captains General, is to be effectually and permanently stopped, it must be by a stern and decided demonstration. The. best and indeed the only one, that natarall suggests itself, is a bloskade of Cuba. Such a measure would strike a terror in Spain, would shake the present ministry and quickly produce effectual guarantees. Any thing less than that will produce nothing but reiterated promises, ever unfulfilled, and continued. disappointments to those who interest themselves, whether as a matter of right, or as a matter of feeling and humanity in the suppression of the slave trade . _ Another letter states that the trade iscarried on more extensively than ever, and the treaty on the subject is constantly violated. {> On Davy Crockett’s return to hig constituents after his first session in Congress, a quantity of them surrounded him one dey, ani began to interrogate him about things at Washington. “What time do they dine at Washington. Colonel?’ asked one. “Why,” said he, “common. people, such as you are, “get their dinner at one o’clock, but the big guns dine at three. As for us representatives we dine at four—and the aristocracy and the Senate, they don’t get their feed till five.’ “When does the President fodder?” asked another. “Old Hickory !” exclaimed the Colonel, “if he dines before the next day, I wish I may te teetotally —!” fF The Duchess Regent of Parma has just conferred a gold medal upon Luigina Spazzina, a girl of fifteen, as a reward for the spirit which she exhibited in defending herself and the household against a robber who broke in while Luigina was left alone there.— She attacked him with a knif:, wounded him, and put him to. flight. When her father returned home, she went with him and a man named Gobbi in pursuit of the robber, who was arrested. The Grand Secret of Louis Napoleon's Success —It has been stated that the Emperor is in possession of the talisman of Charlemagne, This relic, which has been mentioned, contains a piece of the true cross, and was, in 797, sent by Haroun al Raschid to Charlemagne, with, according to the chronicle of St. Martin, “the swaddling clothes of our Saviour, the crown of thorns, the winding sheet, the chemise of the Holy Virgin, the arm of Saint Simeon, and the keys of the Holy Sepulchre.” All these objects were conveyed to aix la Chapelle, and were deposited in the church, whence they passed into the Emperor’s hands. TerrisLe.— The Boston Trareler makes the following reckless attempt at fun : While at the artists’ exhibition yesteiday, our reporter was standing near Stephenson’s bust of Ruth. A friend, pointing to the veiled head of the Jewish maiden, said: “It is not every girl that gets such a beau as (Boaz) she did.” The reportor meditated, then smiled, and immediately proposed to expend a couple of shillings for the pun. “Nay, owe me (Naomi,”’) said the wag. Think ing the neighborhood too warm, the reporter turned to look at Champney’s magnificent snow-covered mountains. ° [= Prentice, of the Louisville Joureal, speaking of a getleman with whom he was not on very good terms, said: He talks as if his diet were lion-steaks easoned with gunpowder and broiled n burning lava, whereas his actual dit is probably rabbit’s livers, sheep's lucks, and pigeon’s gizzards. te Hume, the Spiritualist, who has een amusing the Court of France with his tricks, recently announced the presence of a distinguished spirit, when the Emperor, who was present, received a violent kick in the rear. On inquiring who this exceedingly “familiar spirit” was, the answer was given that it was “Louis Philippe!” Hume will do. Founn Ovut.—A young lady who has been traveling about Canada recently, dressed in male attire, and trying to pt tain employment as a compositor in various printing offices, turns out to be the daughter of Mr. D’Enny, a surveyor and crown land agent in Peterboro, C. W., and her name is Minnia Augusta Celeste D’Enny. Itseemsshe deserted her luxurious home about six months since, under the influence of a passion for the stage. Sure Enovenu.—Jones denies that omen are angels, and proves it ty refrence to biblical research; ‘for,” says e, “if women were angels, Noah’s wifo would have doubtless been referred to as Ark-angel, which she was not !”—N, Y. Picayune. Fe Some one—we don’t know who gives the following good advice. It is worth following : ‘May be you area bachelor, frosty nd forty. Then, poor fellow ! Sunday ight’s nothing to you, just as you are othing to nobody. Get a wife, blackyed or blue-eyed, but above all -trae yed. Get a little house, no matter ow little, and a sofa, just to hold twa, rtwoanda half in it, of a Sunday night, and then read this paragraph by he light of your wife’s eyes, and thank God and take courage.” Bipp.Le Strarrcase.—Visitors at N}agara Falls will remember a staircase ion the west side of Goat Island, called “Biddle Staircase.”’ Some one asked a friend of ours why it was called that name. ms AR aeRssomes sien Actas on i .
