“Spinster” writes to the Boston Tran'
script from Saratoga: The stylo o'
parting the hair upon ono si.lc anti tilting
the hat to tho other, cannot possibly be
adopted by any true lady, although there
are many who. deem it necessary to f<>l s
low every absurd caprice of fashion, in
order to make people think that 'hey
arc somebody. Tho American girls are
too pretty as a class to need to distort
themselves in any way to attract atten
tion, If they only had the good sense
to appreciate this, their prospects in the
matrimonial lottery would be increased
an hundred fold, as well as the chances
for happy homes and welKconducted
households for their prospective husbands.
Always suspect a man who affects
great softness of manner, an unruffled
evenness of temper, and an enunciation
studied, slow and deliberate. These
things arc all unnatural, and bespeak a
degree of mental discipline into which
he that has r.o purpose of craft or de
sign to answer ctninot submit to drill
himself. Tho most successful knaves
are usually of this description, as smooth
as razors dipped ir> oil, and as sharp.
They affect the innocenco of the dove,
which they have not, in order to hide the
cunningness of the serpent which they
have. —C olton.
Although all’s well that ends well,
there was for a time a little feeling of
uncomfortabJencss in the breasts of the
persons who met at the Union Depot in
Albany on Friday. The Troy Times
tells their story thus:
“A lady and boy were waiting evident
ly for the” arrival of some friend ; the
train came, when a tall bearded geijtlc
man alighted; the lady took one look at
bim, rushed into his arms, kissed him
and introduced the boy. Then she hung
lovingly upon his arm while he looked to
his baggage. Just then another gentle
man approached. He touched her on
die arm. She turned, gavo a scream
and almost fainted. It seems she had
mistaken the genileman desired to
meet, (whom she hud not seen for years,)
and the one she met was not surprised,
for he, too, expected to meet a lady, and
thought he had got hold of the right per
son until that moment. \\ hen the par
ties got straightened out, and gentleman
number one found the lady lie expected,
they had a good laugh all around and
went their several ways.”

The .Hornlx of Journalism.
In the discussions of journalism which
have been started by editorial conven-
and the establishment of chairs o'
journalism in one or two academic insti
tutions, it is well not to forget the mutter
of mornls. A great deal of indignation
has been meted out to’those presses which
publish quack advertisements, calculated
to encourage vice and crime. In Un
tiling, a gnat is strained at that a camel
may be swallowed; for, almost without
exception, the papers which denounce
and refuse to publish these advertise
ments, take endless pains to spread be
fore their readers the details o| tho crimes
which the advertisements are supposed to
engender or encourage. Murders, sui
cides, seductions, adulteries, burglaries,
thefts, scandals -all disagreeable and
disgraceful things—detailed histories of
events which appeal to prurient tastes
and morbid desire for coarse and brutal
excitements—are not these the leading
material of a great multitude of our
daily papers? We may be mistaken, but
we believe that there is no department
of the world’s news given with such ex
haustive particularity as that which ro
tates to vice and crime. If this be
doubted, let the first paper at hand be
taken up, and the fact will, we think, he
determined as we apprehend it. We
know that in many papers the remedial
agencies of society—the churches, the
schools, and social conventions—private
and organized charities—beg for space
that is freely accorded to the record of
a petty theft or an unfaithful husband or
wife. That which will make a spicy
paragraph is chosen before that which
will make a healthy one.
Nor is this ail.- The crimes which are
thus spread before the public for its
daily food are often treated like anything
but crimes. Some of our papers have a
way ol doing up their columns of local
crime as if it were all a joke. The writer
makes an ingenious jest of everything
he is called upon to notice. The poor
women who are lost to virtue and society,
with hell within them and before them,
furnish grateful themes for the reporter’s
careless pleasantries. Their arraignment,
their trial, their sentence, their appear
ance, their words, are chronicled in un
feeling slang, with the intent to excite
laughter. That which to a good man or
woman is pathetic is made to appear a
matter to be laughed at, or to be'passed
over as of no account. A case of infi
delity in the marriage relation, involving
the destruction of the peace of families,
the disgrace of children, and the irrem
ediable shame of the parties primarily
concerned, comes to labeled : “rich de
velopments.” The higher the life in
volved and the purer the reputation, the
“richer” the “developments” always.—
Nothing pleases our jesting reporter like
large game. A clergyman is the best,
next a lay member, and then any man
or woman who may bo in a high social
position. “Crime in high life’’ is a par
ticularly grateful dish for those to serve
up who cater for the prurient public. It
is impossible not to conclude that the
men who write these items and articles
delight in them, and that the men who
publish them regard them only with rela
tion to their mercantile value. We know
of nothing mere heartless than the way
in which criminals and crime are treated
by a portion of the daily press, and
nothing more demoralizing to the public
and to those who are guilty of trifling
with them under the license of the re
porter’s pen. It is a bad, had business.
It is an evil which every paper claiming
to he respectable ought to cut up root
and branch. So long as crime is treated
lightly it is encouraged. So long, too, as
the', edifying, informing, remedial and
purifying agencies of the world are
subordinated in the public notice to the
records of vice and crime, simply be
cause they are loss startling or spicy, it
is nonsense to talk about quack adver,
tisemerits, and a parado of mock virtue
which deserves both to bo pitied and
laughed at.
The daily paper has now become a
visitor in every family of ordinary intel
ligence. It has become the daily food of
children and youth all over our country,
and it ought never to hold a record which
would naturally leave an unwholsome ef
fect upon their minds. It crime is _ re
corded. it should be recorded as crime,
and with a conscientious exclusion of all
details that the editor would exclude
were he called upon to tell the stoiy to
his hoy upon his knee, or to his grown
up daughter sitting at his aide. The
way in which nastiness and beastliness
are advertised in criminal reports is abom
inable. It is not necessary ; it is not on
any account desirable. A thousand
things of greater moment and of sweeter
import pass unnoticed by the press every
day. Tho apology that the press must
be exact, impartial, faithful, literal, &c.,
is a shabby one. A press is never im
partial, when, by the predominance it
gives to crime in its reports, it conveys
the impression that crime is the most
important thing to be reporte 1, when, in
truth, it is the least important. Its re
cords do. tuft hinder crime, do not nour
ish virtue, do not advance intelligence,
do not purify youth, do not bu ,! 1 up tho
best interest of society, and the absorp
tion of the columns of the public press
by them is a stupendous moral nuisance
that ought to ho abated.
We do not expect the press to he very
much in ndvance of the people, either in
morality or intelligence. It is quite as
much the outgrowth as the leader of our
civilization, hut it ought to he an eman
ation from the best American spirit and
culture, and not the worst, Wo shall
have, probably, so long as crime exists,
professional scavengers who follow in its
way to glean and gorge uncleanliness.
Wo have such now, and a beastly brood
who glean after them even ; hut why a
pres., claiming to he respect able, should
deem it its duty to assist in their dirty
work, surpasses our comprehension. We
repeat —it is not necessary ;it is not on
any account desirable.
The St. Louis Republican pitches
into protection afier this fashion :
“When tho American ironmaster
ships iron to England at $lO a ton, he
proves that he can make a profit at that
price. Why, then, the people bo
taxed $7 a ton for his protection against
the very-manufnetuaus he is undersell
ing ? When American iron-masters sell
iron to foreigners a, §1! a ton less tbnn
they exact of their own countrymen ; and
the Onondaga Salt Company sells its salt
in Canada for thirty-five cents a barrel
les3 than it asks in the homo market;
and the Boston sewing machine manu
facturers sell their machines in Europe
for $25 less than the price they compel
us to pay at home, they all prove that
the whole system of protection of which
they are the beneficiaries, is a hypocrit
ical and fraudulent pretext for robbery,
and that the sooner the people are re
lieved of it, tho better.
Death. —Soon death will take this
crystal cup of life a.nd dash rt iu pieces
against the marble of tl e tomb. A few
more nights and then the night of death
will put its wing over us, and the cool
breeze from Jordan will makc t our sleep
sweet. A few more mornings, and we
will rise from our robes of victory and
coronation. Into this world we are born,
and our first utterance is a cry ; into
Heaven we are born, and our first utter
ance will be a song. When the Chris
tian expires, men say, “close the eyes,’’
but angels shout “give him a paim!’’.
men say we must put him in the ground,”
angels cry, “give him a throne!” On
earth is, “Farewell 1 farewell'” In
Heaven it is, “Hail, and Welcome !” I
take Up the full cup of human tears, and
a ray from the throne of God strikes it,
and I read thereon. “Weeping may en
dure fora night, but joy cometh iu the
morning.’’
The New York World says; “The
mischief of the cotton gambling in New
York has I con that it has stopped con
sumption at home. Til's consumption
should be over 20,000 bales a week,
whereas the cotton mills are cither stand
ing idle or running on half time. And,
instead of buying, the mill owners are
actually selling cotton 1o speculators to
cover their shorts. The bears tender
actual cotton to the bulls instead of pay
ing difierenct‘3, and the tatter operators
lose from two to three, cents a pound, to
the great satislaction of everybody but
themselves.
Really these Western newspapers arc
cruel. The way they lacerate the feel

enough to draw tears from a crocodile.
Witness this exhibition of mingled grati
tude and heartlessness in the Clarksville
(Mo.) Sentinel: “We have recently
been placed under obligations to the
Hon. Andrew King, our ex-Congrcssman,
for public documents. We shou'd feel
under renewed obligations if tae would
redeem tho honor of his district by re
turning the back pay he both voted lor
and drew,’’
A correspondent of tiie New York
Sun says: I wish to make a proposi
tion to the inhabitants of tho United
States. Let them build a building at
Washington large enough to board all
the Representatives and Senators. Then
let all the members of each House draw
their rations, the same as soldiers. With
this arrangement their salaries, over and
above their board, could be reduced to
about §2,500 a year each. Tho plan
will save the country millions of money.
An uncouth child of natur’ writes feel
ingly about a popular topic: “I could
stan’ bein’ called a liar and a thief,’’ says
he, “or oven bo told that the old man
kept a hoop-skirt factory, but when one
of them loafin’ goslins comes aroun’ me
a-savin’ as I bad suthin to do with that
’ere ‘Betsey nor I is Out,’ I jest riz onto
my hind legs and combed him down.”

A thing all health and glee; *
But never then wert thou
So beautiful as now,

Already veiled and hid
By the convulsed lid,

'Tis hard to lay thy darling
Deep in the damp, cold earth,
His empty crib to see
Ilix silent nursery,
Once gladsome with his mirth,
To meet again in slumber
llis s.nall mouth’s rosy kiss;
Then wakened with a sta>-f,
By thine own throbbing heart,
His twining arms to miss I
To feel, half-consciously,
A dull, heart sinking weight,
Till memory on tho scul
Flashes the painful whole,
That thou art and olate !
And then to lie and weep,
And think tho live-long night

Of every past delight:
Of all his winning ways-,

His tricks his mimicry,
And nil his little wiles !

That mingle with the tears

f.oro Your AVives,
Husbands, love your wives. Nothing brifr'ht
on* ii true woman like love. Sho will do any
thing, bear anythin?, suffer onything, for the
sake of a husband who truly and devotedly
loves her ami whose heart is one with here.
W hero such love ends, widowhood begip*.—,
'1 he woman who has a husband who ie not
wholly hors, mourns the loss of n champion,
nnd endures the presence of t\ mummy. But
" here conjugal fidelity nnd affection eiist, pov
orty, privation and toil arc welcomed gladly
for the joy of love. But this love must bo
more than tnero words; it must be in hearty
and life, in deed and truth. It must be self
denying as self-desiring. Love bear
nth nil tilings, nnd enduroth nil things, nnd
never faileth. And when- in her weakness,
weariness nnd sorrow, n woman can feel that
she tines receive from her husband such a self
denying luve ns tin's, when his strength bears
with her weakness, his patienoc with her pet
ulence, nnd when liis calm courage sootlios her
frights and fears, what gratitude swells up
within her heart. Woman -seeks in a husband
truth, nobleness, nnd uprightness. She loves
manliness nnd spotless purity. If a man will
show his manhood in his daily life, ho wiljt
find a blessing in his heart nnd in his hrmo
such as tongue cannot deecribo. ,
M ives need love. Their hearts yearn for it
ns much as in the days of girlhood when life
itspif was love. They often pass their wo*
manhood in anxious cares and wearying labors.
In the anguish of maternity they enter into
now spheres of existence, whose only life is
love. Whether woman's course is to be sad
ness or joy, sunsbino or gloom, dopends upon,
love. All her cares are borne with patience
.f lnve sweetens tier bitter cup. Along, hard,
weary, day of toil is amply paid for with a
single smile, and one tender, loving clasp
makes her forget a whole life-time of care and
bless the day when she found a husband with,
a heart so true and a hand so strong. An
expected favor touches her to the soul. A gift
in secret, an appreciating word, a pitying,
soothing glance, a kindly, sunny smile, a little
3elf-denial to afford her pleasure or spare her
pain ; all these arc sunbeams of gladness to
flie true and toiling wife. Iler husband and
her children are her treasures, Sho lives i|!
they stand fast. Sho is proud of their, honor
and joyous in their prosperity. And ST#T][
token of their care and love for her in sickness
or in health, is laid up as a cherished memory,
a kindness which sho cannot forget, and which
she is only too happy to repay. ,
Husbands, love your wives. A harsh word,
from you is worse than a poisoned arrow from,
an outside foe. Your sneer turns j?l> to,ban\
and blackness, while your smile alone brings
sunshine to the soul. One selfish
you, one little contemptible thing, robs ypu of
your crown of honqr, and leaves her to bewail
her loss. The wife must reverenoo her hue*
bind, but your lore must beget that rever
ence. YY'p reverence the Heavenly Father*
“vro love Him because lie first loved us.” “So
let husbands love their wives even as Christ
loved the church and gave himself for it," and
that love shall plant in her glad heart such;
seeds of blessing nnd reverence ns shall cans#
flowers radiant as those of Paradise and full
of heavenly fragrance, to bless and brighten
all your journey in this wilderness oT sid and
pain.
Who marries for love takes a wife, who
marries for fortune takes a mistress; who
marries for position tabes a lady. You are
loved by your wife, regarded by your mis
tress, tolerated by your lady. You .have.®
wife for yrmrs-lf, a mistress for your house
nnd friends, a lady for the world and society..
Your wife will agree with you, your mistres®
will rule you, your lady will manago you,—
Your wife will take care of your household*
your mistress of your house, your lady of afH
pearanees. If you aro sick your wife will
nurse you, your mistress will visit yon, your
lady will inquire after your health. You take,
a walk with your wife, a ride with your mis-,
tress, and go to a party with your lady. Your
wife will share your griefs, your mistress your
money, your lady your debts. If you die, youi)-
wife will woep, your mistress will lament, and_
your lady wear mourning. Young ipan>
