We annex a lew certificates, to corroborate our assertions:
Stale of Illinois, Cai-lisle, June 27, 1851.
I have used Prof. •!. Woo u’s Hair Restorative and have
admired its wonderful effect. My hair was becoming, as I
thought,permanently gray, but by the use of the “Restora
tive,” it has resumed its original color, ami I have no doubt,
permanently so. SIDNEY BREESE,
Ex-Senator United States.
A gentleman in Boston writes to bis friends in New Bediord,
thus:
To your enquiries T would reply, that 1 first commenced
using’Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative, my hair was almost
white and hau been so for the last ten years; and it was very
thin on the top of m> head, and very loose, and puih and out
freely; but I found that belore 1 had used all the second bot
tle, (which was eight weeks,) tniy hair was entirely changed
to its original color, (light brown.) and is now free from dan
druff and quite moist. I have bad my haircut five or six limes
since the change, and have never seen anything lik* gray hair
starting from the roots; and it is now as thick as it ever was,
and docs not come out at ail. It has prevailed in my case all
that. I could wish to ask. Yours, etc.
July 1, 1835.
Gardiner, Maine, June 22, 1354.
Deaf Bin—-I have used two bottles of Professor Wood’s
Hair Restorative, and can truly say it is the greatest discove
ry of the age, for restoring aul changing the hair. Before
using it. 1 was as gray as a man o> seventy. My hair has
now attained its original color. You can recommend it to the
wroi Id, without the least fear, us my case was one of the wors fc
kind. Yours, D.N. MURPHY.
St. Louis, March 7, 1954.
PROFESSOR WOOD—
My hair commenced failing off some three or four years
since, and continued to uo so until l became quite bald. 1
tried all the popular medicines of the day, but to io ifiVct.
At last. I was induced to try your celebrated Hair Re&iora
live, and am happy to say it is* doing wonders- i have now a
fine growth of young hair, and cheerfully recommend its use
io all similarly afflicted.
A. C. WILLIAMS, 13.1 Second Street.
lx a fin, Mich., Avgust 2, 1855.
Thisis to certify, that “one year ago, I was quite gray, and
my hair go thin upon the top of my head, that l feared its eu
tire loss. In this condition, 1 applied lor and obtained a bot
tle of Prof. Wood’s Hair •‘Restorative,” and before 1 had used
one quart bottle, the gray hairs bad entirely disappeared ard
It had thickened up, so as to be as full as usual {.and it assum
ed a glossy appearance., apparently mor*.; Ibeauliful than ever
it was before. 1 do therefore, cheerfully recommend it to
all those ladies who value a beautiful head of hair. I will al
so state that 1 use it now, occasional>y. for Ha healthy and
beautifying effects. SAR AH J . BROWN.
Chicago, May 1, 1851.
1 have used Professor Wood’s Hair tiernot alive to deemed
advantage. It prevents the hair Mromcoming out, gives it a
gloss and softness very desirable. The tew gray hairs I had,
have entirely dis ppeared. Others of my family have used
it, and concur with me in pronouncing it nil it professes to be.
HENRY A. CLARK, Michigan Avenue.
St. Louis , Sept 20,1853.
PROF. O.J, WOOD—
tKirj—l have used nearly three bottles of your IT.iir Restor
ative, and have found its effects very satisfactory. U has en
tirely destroyed all dandruff from my head, and restored my
hair to t*s original which had become quite gray.

HALLOWED be thy name.
BY ELIZA COOK.
List to the dreamy tone that dwells
in rippling wave or sighing tree; ,
Go. hearken to the old church bells,
The whistling bird, the whizzing bee;
Interpret right, and ye shall find
’Tis ‘power and glory” they proclaim;
The chimes, the creatures, waters, wind.
Ail publish,‘‘hallowed he thy name V’l
The pilgrim journeys till he bleeds,
To gain the altar of his sires;
The hermit pores above his beads,
With zeal that never wanes nor tires;
But holiest rite or longest prayer
That soul can yield or wisdom frame,
What better iinpint can it bear,
Than Fatiier, ‘‘hallowed be thy name!’’
The savage kneeling to the sun,
To give his thanks or ask a boon,
The rapture of the idiot one,
Who laughs to seethe clear round moon,
Tire saint well taught in Christian lore,
The Moslem prostrate at his flame—
AH worship, wonder and adore,
And end in ‘‘hallowed be thy name!”
What’er may he man’s laith or creed,
These precious words comprise it still;
We trace them to the blooming mead ;
We iiear them in the flowing rill;
One chorus hails llie Great supreme;
Each varied breathing is the same—£
The sirains may oilier, but the theme
Is “Father, hallowed be thy name.”
From the Baltimore Patriot.
Sunday M.P'uins Thoughts in the Country.
’Tis a holy Sabbath Morning,
And gloriously the sun
His daily earthly pilgrimage
llaih once again begun.
The dew drops sparkling, glistening
Like diamonds in the light,
Gemming the trees in pendants, rich
And radiantly bright.si2; i . Ji a
Sweet flowers in glowing beauty,
Shake off the drowsy chain
The night zephyrs flung around them,
And wake to life again.
The tear (ringed petals opening,
Expanding ‘neatli the rsy
The warm and genial sunbeam
Hath brought in actiye play.
Young birds are softly carroliug
Their early matin song,
And numberless the echoes that
The joyous strains prolong.
Now, a rich thrilling melody
Is waited far and near,
And then a low, sweet warbling
Is all that meets the ear.
Oh birds and flowers, and sunbeams,
With beauty are ye. rife,
Carting a brighter radiance
Upon the patli of life.
And holier aspirations
Within our hearts are stirr’d.
Lifting the soul from Nature,
in praise to Nature’s Lord.

The following extracts from this Report, which by
the wry is sworn to by Maj. Bufotd, will be read with
interest:
Dec. 9th, 1856.—The foregoing report I have felt due no
less to rmfsell, than to those friends who sustained me by
their confidence and material aid : it was retarded thus long
by inability, from ill health, to labor up to October last, and
since then by other more pressing duties. It will disabuse
the public mind of some erroneous impressions, that have
been propagated in regard to the manner in which I haye
discharged my trust. Ido not complain ; nor has injustice
disgusted me with a cause to which I am yet ardently as
ever devoted. It is no recent experience with me, liiat those
who undertake any thing for the common good are the
surest victims of misapprehension and selfish malice.
The amount of cash outlay's lor Justice and family is
Sl9l 25, and I have, in this report brought to view such
,t -ms of that expenditure, as are specified in the vouchers,
that his complaints to correspondents in Ala., may be refer
red to their true motive, to wil, the desire to raise means
from the sympathy of friends left behind him. 1 shall not
complain even ol him Others too, from aversion to the
toil and hardships incident to frontier lifo, quickly deserted
their post, and to turn public odium from themselves, chose
to din et it agaiost their leader; neither does this surprise
or dishearten me. for what company of three hundred is
without little minds! I wish we may be able always to
keep at the poll Lore enough even ot these meanest oi our
partizans: no great vietoiy, political or military was ever
won without such instruments. Those who returned soon
er than was expected Und lam sorry to tlyink a good
many did s*,) of course said I had deceived or defrauded
them! 1 would like to be informed wherein. In my ad
dress 01T9.1i of January 1856, published about its date in
many papers, and sent to every emigrant in correspondence
with rn ■, I say “while I thought my company would be
small 1 expected to be able to take women children and
slaves; I now expect over four hundred men, and will take
no females, slaves or minors under eighteen. 1 engage to
transport no baggage except six blankets, one gun, one
knapsack, and one frying pan to each emigrant; for ali over
this the emigrant himself must engage transportation. Ra
tions, transportation, and tape to he thgt of soldiers in ser
vice. By way of remunerating file for the privilege of join
ing my party, for subsistence and transportation to Kausas,
and for furnishing means to enter his pre-emption, each emi
grant agrees to acquire a pre-emption and to pay me, when
his titles are perfected, a sum equal to the value of one
hall his pre-emption. 1 have simplified my proposals to a
single proposition as above, in order to be more ea-ily un
derstood. and to obviate the many questions that over
whelm me.” In a subsequent address of 21st Feb. in sug
gesting motives to joining my party, I say “those without
means caq thus get transputtation and subsistence by the
way advanced on credit ” The emigration contract, which
was in writing, assanted to by all and signed by most of
the emigrants, contain these provisions; “See. 4 Trans
portation and subsistence are to be the same that is usually
nccordid to soldiers in service, and such Buford hinds him
self to furnish from lire day of enlistment to the day of
reaching the Territory of Kansas.”
“Sec. 14. It said leader terminates this contract with any
oi the undersigned by failure to furnish money to enter his
pre-emption, before the government sale thereof, an J yet
buys it at such sale, he shall give the pre-emptor oue-hail
thereof.”
That contract too was often explained in speeches I made
to the emigrants, in which I distinctly stated that my duty
ceased on reaching tho soil of Kansas, and that they were
then free to settle wherever they pleased and were to rely
on their own exertions. Mr. Baker, who attended the ex
pedition, also, several times addfessed them aufl explained
the contract in the same way.
’I here was no misapprehension on this point. Instead of
doing less, I did much more than my contract; I transport
ed baggage greatly over the amount agreed on, ana from
New Orleans to Kansas I furnished cabin passage instead
of deck passage at contemplated by the contract. And
moreover alter reaching tire territory, and being thus liable
‘to no further outlay, I incurred the heaviest part of the ex
penditure. The emigration contract further contains a
solemn assurances by the emigrants that they are no be
lievers in the practical equality of the white and black
races, pledges them to do all in their power to maintain
whip; supremacy, and to carry out the policy of the pro
slavery party in Kansas. This shows what honor or ve
racity may ho accorded to Mr. Selden C. Williams, rene
gnd ■ and deserter from our party, and who, in abolition
speeches, slandered our party at the North during the past
summer.
Most of the rifles were loaped or given to the men : fjvp
or six were told but only one paid for, i. e. ®gs by Uleaton,
In a few days after reaching the territory, my men, in
pursuance of our understanding, were .disbanded, bet soon
afierwsrds, on the breaking out of the Lawrence rebellion,
a por.ion of them were reassembled, and while kept togeth
er were mainly subsisted by provisions liberally furnished
by citizens of western Missouri; who also, in addition to
the sums specified in the report, forwarded (as I was told)
some $93 00 in money, which 1 have not received, as it
was applied by the consignee to transportation charges as
lam informed, by Mr. Hinkle. It was said that I disposed
ol provisions to my private use: this is wholly uqtrge.—
Thus I have specified all donations of every kir.d as far as
recorded or remembered : il any contribution to myself or
agents has escaped attention, the contributor will do me a
luvor by advising tne by letter to Eufaula, Alabama, of the
amount and to whom and when paid. To Messrs. Comer
of Barbour, Williamson of Lowndes, Clanton of Mont
gomery, Fegues ol Dalhs, Lawler and others of Mobile, 1
am espec’allv indebted for aid in raising contributions: and
;o Messrs. Treadwell, Baker, Johnson and others lor in
valuable services in conducting the expidition. The noble
J itizens of Lexington, Missouri, deputied Col. J. W. Fore
man to iner t and counsel us at St. Louis. T hey also sent
Jol. Anderson and Mr. Hinkle to aid me on my reaching
Westport: their services were invaluaole and challenge me
warmest gratitude ; and to Mr. H. especially, for his con
stant, judicious and faithful management of my affairs from
fiat time to the present, 1 feel the highest obligations. Ali
the funds contributed before the emigration, as also all col
lected on my return South, appear in the re; ort. Continu
ed ill health prevented the discharge of the duties imposed
by associates of theexocurive committee Means hereafter
contributed should be devoted to sustaining our indigent
friends in the territory, and to sending out, in the spring,
families for permanent settlement. Young men have serv
ed their hour in holding the country for the present. We
must have families, and permanent settlements if we expect
to hold it in the future. Would that the South could sut
rieienilv awake to the magnitude of this question ; would
-he eould see this center and garden spot of our nation—
this most fertile and beautiful oi all regions, and appreciate
the truth that we must retain it, or cease to he a people.

Bribery and Corruption.
New York papers of Saturday, received by steamer .con
tain a pretty fall report of what passed in the House of
Representatives in relation to the charge of corruption
made by the correspondent and endorsed hy the editor of
the New York Times. The interest of the subject was
greatly increased by the testimony of an honorable mem
br-r—fully establishing the correctness of the charge.
The question was raised by a member from New York,
who concluded some remarks by offering the following
preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, certain statements have been published chan
ging the members of this House with entering into corrupt
combination for the purpose of passing and preventing the
passing of certain measures now before Congress; therefore,
Resolved, That a committee olTivo members he appoin
ted hy the Speaker, with power to send for persons und
papers to investigate said charges, and that the committee
report the evidence to he taken, and what action is neces
sary on the part of the House without unnecessary delay.
The following statement hy a gentleman of high charac
ter from North Carolina, produced a profound impression:
Mr. Paine —I scarcely know whether I ought to say
anything or not. 1 know nothing about that editor or his
journal I know nothing about any communication made
to it. I know not how the editor obtain, and lire information,
I know not whether it is true or false; but 1 do know there
has been a proposition made in the House hy members of
the House on the subject. (Sensation, and cries of “Who
is he? Expose him {') I shall not name the gentleman.
(Cries of “Down in front! We can’t see !”) I shall men
tion no member by name. (A voice—“ You ought to do
it.”) It was with feelings of indignation 1 heard the pro
position. (Impatient demands of “What was it?” “Tell
it.”) The reason why 1 did not announce it to the
House was that, pending the org. nizat on of this body,
when a member rose in his place and related that a fellow
member had made an attempt to tamper with him for his
vote for Speaker, the only credit he received was that he
w as laughed at, and it was charged that he did net accept
the proffered bribe because there wns rio such profitable
place to he had. I say distinctly there is not a want o!
truth in the allegation contained in the. Times article. A
distinct proposition was made to me hy a member ot this
House in regard to the Mineeota land bill, and that slsl'o
would he given in consideration of a vote for tfiat Jij!( Jf
the proposed committee shaft be raised, and i am called on
as a witness, I shall give my evidence.
The discussion was continued by Messrs. Phelps of Mo.
A.K. Marshall of Ky., Campbell of Ohio, Brooks and
Orr, of S. C., and others. Mr, Paine a second time took
the floor and said:
Mr. Paine—l do not know that it is necessary to vindi
dicate my course. 1 stated a simple fact, known to every
member of the House, that when, during the election of
the speaker, a member rose in his place and ehargsd ano
ther member with attempting to influence his vote by pro
mising him a lucrative place on one of the committees, he
was only lavished for mulling luo. annAUJiPfenusot.
iy alter,! was approached in the manner stated. I inform
ed the gentleman from Tennopsee(Mr. Snpedl of the facts
in the case, but told him 1 would not name tho member.
Mr. Sneed now obtained the floor and coiroborated the
truth of the last remark ol Mr. Paine. lie was understood
to say it was on the 23d of December Mr. Paine gave him
information similar to that of which the House |Was alrea
dy in possession. He asked Mr. Speed’s advice, and Mr
’ Sneed innocently referred him to the ease fat the com
mencemeo of Congress, naundy, that between Mr. Pearce
ol Penns-yiv-ania, and Mr. .Millward, relative to the Speak
ershipj Mr. Paine iu formed him, among other th ngs, that
a certiau member came to his feat, and asked him if he
could give his support lo him, supposing nothing wrong.—
itjwas then thot the bribe was offered. Mr. Sneed inform
ed Mr. Paine that without compromising his own honor to
await evepts, obtain the necessary evidence of the corrupt
proposition, and then expose tfie member ; and Mr. Sneed
iurther said to Mr. Paine, that ho would slap the scoundrel
in the face, and Mr. Paine lefi Mr. Sneed with tho impres
sion on the mind of the iat’ r that he would adopt that
course, Mr. Sneed was ceriain as to the conversation ta
king place on 23d of December, for he had made a written
statement from memory [cries from various directions ‘read
it read it.’j but Mr. Sneed replied, 1 will not read it.
The resolution was finally adopted. The next day the
speaker announced the committee ofinvesligation—aa fol
lows : Messrs. Kelltey, Orr, of Maryland, Ritchie and
Warner.
The country will await with much interest the result of
the committee's investigation. Be that what it may, the
excitement growing out of the affair will probably be fa
tal to whatever schemes of public plunder arc now before
Congress.— t'av. Mews.
Breach of Promise Caso.
A breach of promise cr.se of a peculiarly aggravated
character, sajs the Newark, N. J., Mercury, has just
come under our knowledge. A young man employed
in one of our large clothing establishments some months
since formed an acquaintance with a young lady of at
tractive appearance and unexceptionable character, en
jojing also a good position in society, with whom lie soon
became intimate, and ultimately, by promise of a mar*
riage, effected her ruin. This occurred s- me three
months ago, and since that time the lady has been ur
gently pressing uj on hu* seducer the fulfillment of his
promises. At last, alarmed perhaps by her
importunities, he fixed a day for their union, which was
yesterday, the 24-h inst. Meanwhile, however, it ap
pears, he ha* been paying attention to a cousin living
ing in New Y-.rk, and she being entitled in her own
right to a considerable for une, he effected an engage
ment with her also, and on Tuesday they were married
at the residence of the bride’s father. The gentleman
supposed that, his New York proceedings were unknown
to bis victim in this city, but in this he was mistaken, she
having leaned of his intentions—which were, imme
diattly upon his marriage with bis cousin, to start for the
West —some days since, through an intimate friend.
Being determined to thwart liis designs, the case wns
giwn into the hand's of an officer, who about an hour
after the wedding in New York, appeared at tiie # door
of the bride’s father, and asked to see the “happy bride
groom,” who responded by his presence, was quietly
informed that II of bis proceedings were understood,
and that he must do one ot three things—pay down the
sum of SIO,OOO, find hail ia that amount, or go to the
Toombs. Os course he was supriged at these demands,
saying that he could not possibly raise the money, .ns an
intimation of the fact which necessitated the raising of
such a sum would forever destroy hint in the estimation
of his latlicrnn law. Ilis expostulations, however, were
useless, and ex using bimsdf to the family by saying
that he ‘‘was going down town with a fiicnd,’’ he march
ed off with tbo officer to the Toombs, whore we believe
he still remains. How bis absence is accounted for by
the family, we are not informed. It is said that the sum
of SIO,OOO belonging to the bride, was advanced to her
on the day of the wedding, and that every arrangement
was made to rtart on a Western tour that evening.
Commerce of New York. —A resume of the Foreign
commerce of the port of New York for the year just
closed, allows that the total .value of foreign dry goods re
ceived was $98,302,893, against $04,974,002 in 1855,
and $80,842,930 in 1854. The increase has extended
to all descriptions of goods, but comparatively it has been
largest in manufactures of cotton, in which it has been
about eighty per cent., while in woolen goods it has been
about forty-five per cent., and in silk about thirty-five
per cent, iu advance of 1855. Notwithstanding the
Inrge increase indicated by these figures, the importers
generally have had a profitable year, the prosperity of the
country causing a steady demand for all that has been of-
Continued Oulrages in New. Orleans.
It s not at the Horse Station alfitie that outrages an
daily and nightly committed : vve have specimens of tin
cut-throating mania in various directions, developed ,b\
many extraordinary circumstances, and all more or les
“unvvhipt of justice.’*
De Quincy once wrote an article in Blackwood’s Mag
azine, to prove that murder was one of the “fine arts ‘
and assuredly it has become iu this city the finest of all
—for it appears impossible to detect the perpetrators o’
the crimes which are ruining our real estate holders and
rendering this city u miserable ranche or hacienda
where inly an adventurous passer-by will pause.
Os course the Horse Station murderers are not ar
rested ; of course, the intimidated citizens who wen
slung shotted by them two or three weeks ago, will not
mention their names or attempt identification ; of cours*
tile police are at fault, and, equally, of course, the com*
inunity is at lault. While the people are content to en
dorse the oligarchy of the slung-shot, the authorities can
not be Blamed. The prevalence of murJer no longer ba
any connection, immediate or remote, with polities ; the
fearful deeds committed at the Horse Station and else,
where are the results of chronic bluck.guardisrn.
Asa proof of this We need odl> allude to tho Church
Fairs recently held in this city and tho diabolical con
duct o( the well dressed young puppies who interrupted
their proceedings. The Fair at one of the Churches was
besieged by a crowd of beardless rowdies, the juvenile
recruits of Lucifer, who insulted the iadies and bullied
the men—one of them going so far as to fling his arm
round the waist of a youug lady whoso father is a na
live o( this city, we believe, and one of the most respect
able and respected citizens in the community The iden
tity of this sprucely-dressed ruffian was ascertained, and
he was found to be a waiter in one of our prominent ho
tels, an ignominious young villain, with whom no gentle
man eould dirty his hands. A Fair was also held very
recently for a church in Lafayette, and the ladies who
took part in it were terrified by the same or a similar
gang, whose efforts at disturbance and riot were so sue
cessful, that the undertaking was comparatively a failure.
In neither caso were the vagabonds brought to justice.
The egguog of Mr. Waterman is excellent, but why
does he permit such scenes to occur ? Is the mixture
so strong as to produce a state of coma in the Mayor ?
Or has the professi nos Roman Catholicity become a
crime ? Or, in fine, are onr fast young men—our prom
ising bowie-knife boys—our armed and organized brats
the real authorities of the ciy ?
It is time that those questions were practically answer
ed. Reputations caunot be made by egg-nog ; some
thing more decisive is required.— N. O. Della.
Speech of Gen. J. A. Quitman.
The speech of Gen. Quitman, which will be found in
another part of the paper this morning, will be read with
the liveliest satisfaction by his friends, and will be re
ceived by bis political opponents with that rtspectfui at
tention which the views on any question of a gentleman
of his high personal aud public reputation seldom fail to
eommaud. In the course of hie remat ks, Gen. Quitman
took occasion to give the reasons which had influenced
him in voting against tho slave trade resolutions of Messrs.
Etheridge and Orr, He stated emphatically that he
was not iu favor of the revival of the African slave trade;
and that it was form and not the substance of Mr. Orr’s
resolution that was objectionable to him. We p-esutne
that iD this matter Gen. Q. expresses the sentiments oi
the seven other gentlemen who voted against tiffs resolu
tion, which would make the opinion ol the House en
tirely unanimous on a question in the final disposition of
wh oh demagogism has met with such a wretched failure.

Be Kind to Your Wife,
Be kind to your wife. Thiuk how, in the first h’tisli
of maiden beauty, she turned aside from the haunts o!
pleasure and the cares of fond parents and brothers and
sisters, to follow-your fortunes through the world. Think
with what bfrnded hope and agony you followed her from
place to place, watching her every look, and pondering
the meaning nr her most oareless tones, until, won ’ey
your importunity, she placed her hand, nil'trustfully iu
yours and said, ‘‘l am all your own,” Think of tlie
cares,“and anxieties, and physical suffering she has in*
curred for you, and do not desert her now, when her
cheek is faded, her slop has lost its elaeticity, and she
sits an uncomplaining watcher over your best interests,
a self-incarcerated prisoner in her own home.
Merrily the music sounds, young feel trip lightly in the
mszy dance, aud joyous laughter along the wails—but
she is not there ; the curtain rises and the far famed ar
tiste comes forth to charm the listening crowd with her
melodious song—but she is not there. The orator rises
L-n.ro to. wrapt uu.lwuuc, Bis rich, deep tones of t ie.
quence fl siting away along the crowded passages and
curling upward as a voiced inoeuse to the vaulted roof—
hut she is not there. Art opens her new stores and dis
plays her wonderful creations on the glowing canvas, aud
in the speaking bust; your wife is a lover of the chaste
and beautiful, but ehe is not there. Literature presents
new leaves, fresh from the fascinating pens ol genius—
the wife and mother h'ts but little time to read.
No; there she lingers at home, a God-commissioned
watcher over helpless children ; singing the babe to sleep,
bending to catch the lisping voice of those dear ones who
have a thousand imaginary wants, encouraging the quiet
and soothing the fretful. She is weary, but does not com
plain, her temples throb, but she does not heed their
throbbing, as ever and anon she turns a wistfui glance
towards lite dour, for she expects her husband.
She expects you ; and her whole world of happin ss
will be there when you arrive.
Will you enter that room with cold indifference ? Wil
you utter a hasty word in her prose Doe ? Will you sit
and wn with that frown on your countenance, or complain
of the burdens you are cuiied to bear ? Will yeu thought
lessly remind her of her faded beauty, or manifest sur
prise at her ignorance of many things now passing in the
great world from which she has been excluded by her
peculiar duties? Will yon suffer tho recollection of any
more youthful, or more beautiful to haunt you in home’s
hallowed precincts, or cross the white leaf of Conjugal fe
licity with one unhallowed thought? Oh! remember
y<>ur early love, you early promises; think how faithfully
she has kept hers ; love her as you ought, ami ehe is still
beautiful—beautiful in her pure, motherly affections; her
self-sacrificing deyotion to you. Realize that she is all
your own , that throughout the wide world you are sure
of but one heart whose every cord is linked invisibly to a
counterpart in yours; realize that upon her b .som alone
y u may weep out your sorrows in the day of trial, with
out the fear of being mocked.
Husband love your wife ; Gather her to your heart of
hearts, as if iu her were all your hopes of happiness com
bined ; bless her daily for her patience and tru’h ; stand
up like a rnan between her and the rude, cold world, and
teach your children to honor her, that God may honor
you. In all the relations of liie there comes-a parting
hour, and we beseeoh you so to live that, if it should be
your lot to kiss her oluy cold lips and lay her away in the
grave forever, you may lay your hand honestly upon
your widowed heart and say—l have never wronged you!

Snooks. —There is s class of persons who seem to de
light in demonstrating the falsity of all the pleasant de*
lusions of little importance that men arc accustomed to
cherish. One of these‘'snappers up of unconsidered tri
fles,” iu “Notes and Queries,” cruelly annihilates till
the associations connected with tho name of “Snooks.”
This name is on iy known to us as $ synonym of vulgari
ty and a convenient alius for a gentleman under ttmpo
rany difficulties, through some misunderstanding as to
“mourn an I fmim.” This writer tells ns that Snooks Is
only a corruption or contraction ol the aristocratic and
dignified name of Sevenoaks. The town of this name
was generally called Se’uoaks, in Kent, and the further
contraction, coupled with the phonetic spi-lliny of former
day*, easily passed into Snooks. This is uu imaginary
conclusion, for Messrs Sharp Jjj Harrison, Solicitor*,
Southampton, have reeeutly had in their possesion a se
ries of deedtt in which all the modes of spelling occur,
from feeveuoaks down to S’uokes in connection with a
family now known as Snooks.

aU* “Metairie Race Course.
First Day.— -The sweepstakes for heats of two mi'ts,
over the Metairie Course, came off yesterday afternoon.—
Three horses came to the post: Mr. D. F. Kenner’s b. c.
Whale, hy Vulime out. of Dolphin, 80 pounds; Col Bing
aman’s b. c by imp. Sovereign, out of Petty Coody,B6
lbs ; Col. T. J. Well’s ft g Moise, by Capt. fclgee, oh! of
a mare ny Ruby, 83 pounds.
The attendance was fair, the track, heavy, muddy ana
wet.
J here was a false start made, and Moise ran his full two
miles, his young light joek-y being unable fro restrain,him.
Twenty minutes was allowed before the next start, when
they all three got off together, Moise in the lead, which
position he inau;tajr:‘ <1 until Ire entered tire first turn in the
second mile, when Whale made play, took the lead handi
ly, and came home tm easv winner, in 4:194; the colt out
ot_the Betsey Coody making no contest for the heat.
The second heat was won hy Whale, in 4:151, the con*
test being between him and the Betsey Coody Colt The
race was then thought to be over, and the horses taken to
their stables, no decision as yet having been made by tiio
judges, when, to the astonishment of many, the bell tapped
for the re app* nJanec ot the horses, the judge* having de
termined that the jockey on Whale had ridden loui, by
impelling the progress ol the colt out ot Betsey Coody.
Mr. Kenner, the owner of (Whale, appealed from this
decision of the judges, and fifteen members signed a re
quest to rite judges to call a meeting of the club, lor the
purpose of taking the matter in issue into consideration.—
This meeting will be held to-morrow evening, in parlor
l’.; of tiio St. Charles Hotel.
Still, tl le race has been continued, and Moise and the
Het-vy Coodv came to the post to determine which was
‘he winner. Moise was rode by a different jockey, carry
lying ten pounds over weight; the rules of the Club not
allowing a hoi sc ‘ - statt with more than five pounds over
w.-ight. So that, even had he run that heat, he would
have been distanced, and, had he lost n, tie could not have
stalled again, as a horse is ruled off which does not win oue
heat in three.
This third heat wr won by the Bet-ay Cocdy colt in
4:454, as decided by jhe judges ot the day. The appeal
from the decision leaves ail bets undecided, and the race
is ns yet, of course, to he considered as having beeu neither
lost or won.—[N. O. Picayune, Sunday.

who, in tire course oi'conversttt on, enquired of Mr. Fill

a dignified silence. But another American gentleman
broke the solemn stillness with the remark : “Your lord

corre-pondent of the Boston Journal says that tire wile of
Huntington, the forger, has been stripped of her home
and her all in one hour. The sheriff has sold her house
over her head. Her jewels valued at $15,000, are with the
Beidens. W hat ha? been done with the vast sums of mo

nue since Ids card relating to the Clifton House affair

“game cock”—a more contemptible puppy or sneaking
coward never disgiacvd the name of a Yankee. It is
