[Longman’s Horae Poetieae. Trullis for Wives. In domestic happiness, the Avife’s influence is much greater than her 1 husband’s; for the one’the first cause j : —mutual love and confidence —being j granted, the whole comfort of the [ household depends upon trifles ; more immediately under her juris diction. By her management of | small sums, her husband’s respecta-! biiity and credit arc created or des troyed. No fortune can stand the j constant leakages of extraganees and j mismanagement; and more is spent | in trifles, than woman would easily j believe. The one great expense, i whatever it may he, is turned over a.id carefully reflected on ere incur- 1 red ; the income is prepared to meet ! it; but it is pennies imperceptibly sliding away which do the mischief: j and this the wife alone can stop, for ; she does not come within a man’s 1 province. There is often an unsus pected trifle to be saved in every | household. It is not in economy j | alone that the wife’s attention is so i necessary, hut in those niceties which make a well regulated house. An unfurnished cruetstarul, a miss ing key, a buttonles shirt, a soiled | table-cloth a i>.n xx-itK i old contents sticking hard and brown about, are severally nothings; but! each can raise an angry word or cause discomfort. Depend on it; there’s a great deal of domestic hap piness in well-dressed mutton-chop ,or a tidy breakfast-table. Men grow ! sated of beauty, tired of music, are often too wearied for confersatiou, (however intellectual;) but they can j always appreciate a well swept | hearth and smiling comfort. A wo man may love her husband devoted ly —may sacrifice fortune, friends, | family, country for him—she may have the genius of a Sappho, the en-: chanted beauties of an Armida; but melancholy fact—if with these she ; fail to make his home comfortable, his heart will inevitably escape her. And woman live so entirely in the affections that without love their existence is a void. Better submit, then, to household tasks, however repugnant they may he to your tastes, than doom yourself to a love less home. Woman of a higher or der of mind will not run this risk; they know that their feminine, their domestic, are their first duties. Auotticr Dead Sea. A writer in tho Union (Cal.) Dem ocrat gives a very interesting de scription of Mono liiiUc, w’hicli has recently engrossed public attention, from the fact of the discovery of de posits of gold in the neighborhood. He says : Mono Lake is more literally a “dead sea” than the sea of Sodom. — According to Dr. Clarke, that “ sea swarms wit li tishes, and shells abound on its shores.” Mono Lake has neither. The extreme length and breadth of the Dead Sea, according i to Merit!, are 75 by 16 miles, giving 1 u superficial area of GUO square miles, whereas, Mono Lake contains 075 square miles. The river Jordan and Arnon, and tho brook Kedron, be sides many rivulets, empty into the Dead sea.’ Into Mono Lake, Mc -1 Dane’s River falls from the North, and Crosby’s lliver from the South, and three large brooks or creeks fall into it from the West, besides numer ous rivulets and springs all around its borders. But this lake not only responds to the Greek epithet monos as being “alone, solitary, deserted, forsaken,” hut it also answers to the : same adjective as explained in the j Spanish as being “pretty, nice, neat.’ The lake takes as many shapes as ! the points differ from which you view it. From the West side, about I t cn miles from its Northern limit, it j appears like a beautiful crescent, its horns curving delicately around you on the right and left. From the North it appears to he nearly circu lar, like the full moon the islands in its ’ waters strikingly representing the clouded spots on that planet. — From the East it appears to have no particular shape, hut it stretches off irregularly among the mountains. There is little or no echo around this lake, and indeed it is difficult to understand a person talking at a lit tle distance. A dreamy spell-like spirit seems to pervade’the atmos phere. The smooth, glassy surface of the waters; the upheaved, dis rupted, volcanic mountains surroun ding the lake, looking down, as it were, into this abyss of their ejec tion ; the illusion of vision, and the 1 whitened shores, ‘thickly columned in many places with vesicular lava, which looks like monuments erected to the “mighty dead,” all conspire to impress the mind with the idea of a fictitious scene portrayed by the pencil of an omnipotent hand. Taking Ahr Popk at nia Word.—A good story of Montesquieu has been disinterred for the especial benefit of M. de Montalembert and his friends. It is said that when the author of the “Espirt des Lois” visited Rome, Pope Benedict XIV wished to mark the fact by some souvenir, and said to him “I give you permission to eat meat all life time, and l extend the same indulgence to all your family.” Montesquieu was, of course, intensely obliged at being re leased from the fasting orders of the Church, and bade adieu to Ilis Holi ness with feelings of gratitude. Shortly afterwards the dispensation was sent to him, and he was presented with a little note of fees, amounting to a rather con siderable sum. Montequieu, astonished at this sacred impost, said : “I thank Ilis’ Holiness for his kindness; but the Rope is so good a man, that I will take his word alone.” Eastern paper tells a good anecdote of an opulent widow lady, who once afforded a queer illustration of that cold-compound of incompatible3 called “human nature.” It was a Christmas Eve of one of those old fashioned winters which were so cold. The old lady put on an extra shawl, and as she hugged her shivering frame, she said to her faithful negro servant: “It’s a terrible cold night, Scip. lam afraid my poor neigh bor, Widow Green, must be suffering. Take the wheelbarrow, Scip, fill it full of wood, pile on a good load, and tell the old woman to keep herself comfort able. But before you go, Scip, put some more wood on the fire, and make me a nice cup of flip.” These last orders were duly obeyed, and the old lady was thoroughly warmed, both in side and out. And now the trusty Scip was about to depart on his errand of mercy, when his considerate mistress i interposed again : “Stop, Scip; you need not go now. The weather has mod erated. Our Sons si net Daughters. byis it, ’ inquired a person one \JCAiJf j tliclu Mt •%•• J J _ ~a. • AIX/U Jllfinv shipwreck of their hopes, when their sisters become useful, virtuous and re spected ? There is Mr. , all his boys are profligates, while his daughters are patterns of propriety and goodness.” This remark touches an important sub ject. Let us reply to the interrogative. The answer is not very difficult. It is a clear case. Sons are early brought into contact with the world. In their youth they form companionships in the streets, and engage in pursuits which bring them into intimate relation to wicked men. They meet temptations of society everywhere. All the vices of men appear from time to time, and all the coarser pleasures of life, to lure and destroy them. To these they yield and go to ruin. It is not so with daughters. They are within doors at home most of the time. A different class of employments occupies their time and thoughts, and they live under a mother’s watchful eye from year to year. Among the large number of girls who are cast houseless into the streets of our populous cities, a, few, only, come out of the severe ordeal as gold tried in the fire. It is doubt ful if there would be more sons than daughters ruined, if both were equally exposed to the temptations of ‘the world. Here, then, is the difference. The watchful care and blessed influence of home saves the girls, while many hoys i are destroyed. The fact should deeply impress our hearts with two truths : First, there is great power in the allure- j ments of the world. llow many bright, intelligent, beloved young men are ruin- j every year by these appeals to their social nature! Second, the restraints and influence of home are indispensable to preserve the characters of the young unsullied. Home—home—there is noth ing like it, if it he a home of the right stamp, to make sons and daughters what they ought to be—happy home. Another Petticoat Novelty.-Cleve landers are just now being greatly edifi ed by the trance-medium lectures of a Mrs. Stowe —not the more celebrated constructor of “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin” j literature —but some other Stowe, as the Plain Dealer describes her, “a little, pale, fair-featured and fragilely-formed lady, dressed in modest and neat ap parel, with ringlets. She rose up be hind the desk, dosed her eyes, and in a moment was entranced and commenced her discourse. Her speaking was grace ful, rapid, and without the least hesi tancy. Her diction was faultless, her rhetoric above criticism, and her reason ing logical and lucid. But the astonish ing feature in her discourse was the manner in which she would improvise her prosaics into poetry —sometimes for five, then ten, and one time for fifteen minutes she discoursed in rhymes that would have done credit to Dante or Dryden. Near one-half her discourse was not only rhythmical, but sensible and beautiful as the spirit of true poetry could make it.

Father Beauregard* had just preached in one of the churches of the capital his beauti ful sermon upon Providence, which, like all his other sermons, had drawn together a considerable crowd of auditors. Upon re turning borne, he had just disrobed himself in order to rest after his extreme fatigue, when a slranfljor was announced, desirous to see him. Taking time only to change his dress, he at once presented himself to the unknown visitor, whose manners and ap pearance denoted him to he an artisan. “ What do you wish, sir f” said the vener able preacher. “To>speak with you a moment,” replied the stranger in a manner so agitated as at once to arrest the attention of Father Beaure gard. “Most willingly,” said the preacher. “I am ready to listen. Sit down.” “I havejust heard your sermon,” said the artisan. “Wei, lam glad of it, for I have said some things which should not be lost UDon either of us.” “Oh ! sir, you had certainly spoken beau tifully. Nobody could have done better.— You have extolled the benefits of an over ruling Providence. But, sir, I do not be lieve in Providence. There is no f’roviden ce for me. Wait a minute, and judge for yourself. I am a carpenter by trade. I have a wife and three childred. We are honest working people who never wronged any one. Inquire about me in my neigh borhood, and everybody will tell you that N. is an honest man, getting his living by the sweat of his brow; that he pays his d%hts ; that he does not drink; that he does not play; and that he takes good care of his family. “I can easily believe all this, my friend, interrupted Father Beauregard,” much touched by the heartfelt words of his visitor, “but to what does all this lead, and what connection is there between these details and your unbelief in Providence?” “You shall hear ; you see before you a man resolved to throw himself into the river.” “Good heavens!” cried Father Beaure gard, justly alarmed at this acknowledge ment. “God preserve your fato from such a fatal step? You not only kill the body, hut you peril the salvation of your soul. What has given rise to such a dreadful thought. “Bir, I havejust mot with a heavy loss by the failure of a debtor. I have liabilities | which become due on the 30th of this month, and I cannot meet them. It will be the first time my signature has been dishonored, and 1 cannot hear the idea of this disgrace. It is after having in vain solicited assistance from my friends, who would be glad to help me if they could, that I determined to drown myself.” “But, my friend, what will become of j your wife, who loves you, your children who | need you, if you drown yourself?” The poor man's tears answered to these interro puuse. “When lam dead the world will take pity on them ; I cannot live to sec them dishonored, to sec them bear the burden of my shame.” • j “How was it, with such a frightful plan as this in contemplation, you came to hear me preach ?” “It was only by chance, sir; I had no in tention of doing so. I was in the neighbor hood of the church and noticed the crowd entering; mechanically, as it were, I went in with the rest; I asked who was going to preach ; they told me a celebrated priest. 1 [ remained, and heard you through; all you ! said was very good, very fine, but I was still in the dark. 1 could see no providence ! for me.” “What, to hear my sermon, to come and ! see me, to confine in me, and yet in all this you do not recognize a providence ?” For a moment the man was silent, and then replied: “It is strange, sir, very strange, still I sec no way for me to pay my debts.” During this interview, the heart ol the ! good priest was deeply moved ; ha hud heard j the unhappy man’s story, whose manners ■ a nd language sufficiently attested its vera i city. Without further investigation, he resolved at once to act in his behalf. “Listen, my friend,” said he to him. “I believe you to be an honest man, unfortun ate through the agency of others, and I wish to help you out of your trouble. How much money will cover your debts ? 1 am not rich, still 1 can contribute something to wards making up the sum.” “Oh ! sir, you are too good! Less than three thousand francs will suffice me.” Father Beauregard rose, opened his secre- tary, and taking therefrom a hundred louis, returned to the poor artisan, and said : “My friend, here are a hundred louis. I should not have been able to have done this myself, but a few days since the princess Clotilde, after having heard me preach on Charity, sent me a large sum of money, begging me to use it for the benefit of the unfortunate, and to distribute it to any, whom I should judge worthy of assistance. It has already done much good, softened the ills of many; but. my frieud, your visit here, at this critical juncture of affairs, is, in my view, a stream 1 of light, upon the ways of God to man.— ■ Take this money, nay your debts, and believe in an overruling Providence.” Full of surprise, and overwhelming grati tude, the poor carpenter fell ou his knees, at the feet of the good father ; he could not speak a word, but raising his streaming eyes to heaven in a language more powerful than words, expressed the joy of his deliverance. * Beauregar.l was a French Jesuit preacher, who died Germany n ISO 4. ©sy"Some of the students of the Indiana ’ State University were suspected to be in the habit of drinking brandy.

HABITUAL APPARATION OF A LIVING PERSON There existed, in the year 1845, and is still continued, in the Livonia, about thirty-six miles from Riga, and a mile and a half from the small town of Wol mar, an institution of high repute for the education of young ladies, entitled the Pensionant of Neuwelcke. It is un der the superintendence of Moravian di rectors, of whom the principal, at the time of the occurrence about to be re lated, was named Bunch. There were, in that year, forty-two young ladies residing there as hoarders, chiefly daughters of noble Livonian fam ilies; among them, Middle Julie, second daughter of the Baron de Gaildenstubbe, then thirteen years of age. In this institution one of the female teachers at that time was Mademoiselle Emelie Sagee, a French lady from Dijon. She was of the Northern type — a blonde with very fair complexion, light blue eyes, chesnut hair, slightly above the middle size, and of slender figure. In character she was amiable, and good tempered, not at all given to anger or impatience, but of an anxious disposition, and, as to her physical temperament, somewhat nervously exciteable. Her health was usually good, and during the year and a half that she lived as & teach er at Neuwelcke, she had but one or two slight indispositions. She was intelli gent and accomplished, and the directors during the entire period of her stay, were perfectly satisfied with her con duct, her industry, and her acquaintance. She was at that time thirty-two years of age. A few weeks after Mademoiselle Sagee first arrived, singular reports be gan to circulate among the pupils. When some casual inquiry happened to be made as to where she was, one young la dy would reply, that she had seen her in such or such a room ; whereupon anoth er would say, “ Oh, no ! she can’t be tliere; for I have just met her on the stairway, or perhaps in some distant cor ridor.” At first they would naturally S’lDDOse it mere they began to think it very odd, and fin ally spoke to the other governesses about it. Whether the teachers at that time could have furnished an explanation or not, they gave none ; they merely told the young ladies it was all fancy and nonsense, and bade them pay no atten tion to it. But, after a time, things much more extraordinary, and which could not be set down to imagination or mistake, be gan to occur. One day the governess was giving a lesson to a class of thirteen of whom Madesmoiselle de Guldenstub be was one, and was demonstrating, with eagerness,some proposition, to il lustrate which she had occasion to write with chalk on a blackboard. While she was doing so, and the young ladies were looking at her, to their consterna tion they suddenly saw two Mademois elle Sagees, the one by the side of the other. They were exactly alike; and they used the same gestures only that the real person held a bit of chalk in her hand, and did actually write, while the doubtful had no chalk v and only imitated the motion. This incident naturally caused a great sensation in the establishment. It was ascertained on inquiry, that every one of the thirteen young ladies in the class had seen the second figure, and that they all agreed in their description of its ap- pearance and of its motions. Soon after, one of the pupils, a Made moiselle Antiona de Wrangel, having obtained permission, with some others, to attend a fete champetre in the neigh borhood, and being engaged in complet ing her toilet, Mademoiselle Sagee had good naturedly volunteered her aid, and was hooking her dress behind. The young lady happening to turn round and to look into an adjacent mirror, perceiv ed two Mademoiselle Sagees hooking her dress. The sudden apparitiou produced so much effect on her that she fainted. Months passed by, and similar phe nomena were still repeated. Some times, at diruier, the double appeared standing benind the teacher's chair and imitating her motions as she ate—only that its hands held no knife and fork, ! and that there was no appearance of food ; the figure alone was repeated. All the pupils and the servants waiting on the table witnessed this. It was only occasionally, however, that the double appeared to imitate the motions of the real persons. Sometimes, when the latter rose from a chair, the figure would appear seated on it. On one occasion, Mademoiselle Sagee being confined to bed with an attack of influ enza, the young lady already mentioned, Mademoiselle de Wrangel, was sitting by her bedside, reading to her. Sud denly the governess became stiff and pale, and seeming as if about to faint, the young lady, alarmed, asked if she was worse. She replied that she was not, but in a very feeble and languid voice. A few seconds afterwards, Mad emoiselle de Wrangel, happening to look round, saw, quite distinctly, the figure of the governess walking up and down the apartment. This time the young lady had sufticent self control to remain quiet, and even to make no re mark to the patient. Soon afterward she came down stairs, looking very pale, and related what she had witnessed. But the most remarkable example of this seeming independent action, of the two figures happened in this wise. One day all the young ladies of the institution, to the number of forty>-two, were assembled in the same room, en gaged in embroidery. It was a spacious hall on the first floor of the principal NUMBER 43* building, and had four large windows, or rather glass doors, (for they opened to the floor,) giving entrance to a gar den of some extent in front cf the house. There was a long table in the centre of the room; and here it was that various classes were wont to unite for needle work or similar occupation. On this occasion the young ladies were all seated at the table in question, when they could readily see what pass ed in the garden ; and while engaged at their work, they had noticed Made moiselle Sagee there, not far from the house, gathering flowers, of which she was very fond. At the head of the table, seated in an arm-chair, (of green morocco, my informant says, she still distinctly recollects that it was,) sat an other teacher, in charge of the pupils.— After a time this lady had occasion to leave the room, and the arm-chair was left vacant; It remained so, however, for a short time only; for of a sudden there appeared seated in it the figure of Mademoiselle Sagee. The young ladies immediately looked into the garden, and she still was, engaged as before ; only they remarked that she moved very slow ly and languidly, as a drowsy or ex* hausted person might. Again they looked at the arm-chair, and there she sat, silent, and without motion, but to the sight so palpably real that, had they not seen her outside in the garden, and had they not known that she appeared in the chair without having walked into the room, they would all have supposed that it was the lady herself. As it was, being quite certain that it wa3 not a real person, and having become, to a certain extent, familiar with this strange phenomenon, two of the boldest approached and tried to touch the figure. They averred that they did feel a slight resistance, which they likened to that which a fabric of fine muslin or crash would offer to the touch. One of the two then passed close in front of the arm-chair, and actually through a portion of the figure. The ap pearance, however, remained, after she had done so, for some time longer, still seated, as before. At last it gradually disappeared, and then it was observed that Mademoiselle Sagee resumed, with all her usual activity, her task of flower gathering. Every one of forty-two pu pils saw the same figure in the same j way. . j asked Mademoiselle oagee u mere was anything peculiar in her feeling on this occasion. She replied that she recollect ed this only ; that, happening look up, and perceiving the teacher’s arm chair to be vacant, she had thought; to herself,, “1 wish she had not gone away; these girls will be sure to be idling their time and getting into some mischief.” This phenomenon continued, under various modifications, throughout the whole time that Mademoiselle Sagee re tained her situation at Neuwelcke ; that is throughout a portion of the year 1845 1846; and, in all, for about a year and a half; at intervals, however,'sometimes intermitting for a week, sometimes for several weeks at a time. It seemed chief ly to present itself on occasions when the lady was very earnest or eager in what she was about. It was uniformly remarked that the more distinct and ma terial to the sight the double was, the more stiff and languid was the living person ; and in proportion as the dou ble faded did the real individual resume her powers. She herself, however, was totally un conscious of the phenomenon : she had first become aware of it only from the report of others; and she usually detect ed it by the looks of the persons pres ent. She never, herself, saw the ap pearance, nor seemed to notice the spe- cies of rigid apathy which crept over her at the time it was seen by others.. During the eighteen months through out which my informant had an oppor tunity of witnessing this phenomenon, and of hearing of it through others, no example came to her knowledge of the appearance of the figure at any conskk erable distance—as of several miles— from the real person. Sometimes it ap peared, but not far off, during their walks in the neighborhood; more fre quently, however, within doors. Every servant in the house had seen it. It was appearently, perceptible to all persona, without distinction of age or sex. It will be readily supposed that so ex traordinary a phenomenon could not continue to show itself for more than a year, in such an institution, without injury to its prosperity. In point of fact, as soon as it was completely proved, by the double appearance of Mademoiselle Sagee before the class, and afterward before the whole school, and there was no imagination in the case, the matter began to reach the ears of the parents. Some of the more timid among the girls also became much excited,and evinc ed great alarm whenever they happened to witness so strange and explicable a thing. The natural result that their par- • ents began to scruple about leaving them under such an influence. One after an other, as they went home for the holi days, failed to return ; and though the true reason was not assigned to the di rectors, they knew it well. Being strict ly upright and conscientious men, how ever, and very unwilling that a well con ducted, diligent and competent teacher should lose her position on account of a peculiarity that was entirely beyond her control—a misfortune, not a fault —they persevered in retaining her, until, at the end of eighteen months, the number of pupils had decreased from forty-two to tw’elve. It then became apparent that either the teacher or the institute must be sacrificed; and, with much reluctance and many expressions of regret on the part of those to whom her amiable qual ities had endeared her, Mademoiselle Sa gee was dismissed. The poor girl was in despair. “ Ah,” Mademoiselle de Guldenstubbe heard her exclaim, soon after the decision
