‘T» ill all Be Right.
There's happiness within this world,
If we have friends to love us—
If we have one whose golden smiles
Beam like the hopes above us.
Let sorrow mark us with its blight—
If we are loved, ’twill all be right.
There's much of comfort in this life;
And much of perfect pleasure.
If we have one whose proffer’d love
We prize as sacred treasure.
I.ot trouble exercise its might—
This blessed love will make it right-
What though the heart is bending down
With keen and heavy sorrow;
Hope on—the grief we have to-day
Shall turn to joy to-morrow;
Have faith! though now life is not bright—
If we are loved, ’twill all he light.
Tiio Farmer's W ife that M’tuld Be.
I am a wild and laughing girl
Just turned of sweet sixteen
As fall of fun and mischief
As any you have seen;
And when I am a woman grown,
No city beau for me;
If o’er I marry in my life,
A farmer’s wife I’ll be.
Let other girls who love it best
Enjoy the gloomy town,
’Mid dusky walls and dirty streets
To ramble up and down;
But flowery fields, and shady woods,
And sunv skies for me;
If e’er I marry in my life,
A farmer’s bride I’ll be.

Tiie Posterity of Cain.—Cain’s set-
tlcmant after the curse set upon him hy the
Lord, was in the land of Nod east of Eden.
IfEden represents the whole district be
tween tlie Indus and the Nile, this must
have been in the wild mountain regions of
Northern India and Western Tartary. The
exact country our geography cannot define.
Two peculiarities have characterized the in
habitants of that region in every age. It has
been a land of Nod that is wandering, un
settled as to a largo share of its population;
and yet it has been, strange to say a land
remarkable for the magnitude grandeur
wealth manufactures, learning and com
merce of its cities—-just as tlie early culti
vation of the arts by the descendants of
Cain might suggest. Nowhere in the world
has been seen the mingling of such con
trarieties of such extremes.
And to this day it is a wonder. The
traveler with peril penetrates there centres
of these wild and grand landscapes, where
even Nature collects the highest mountains
and deepest chasms in the world the most
savage sterility and gardens of the very
primeval Paridisic fruits.—But when he
docs so, he is amazed hy fortifications,
the palaces, the libraries, the foundries the
bazaars, the temples. He meets there
with men who seem tlie genuine offspring
of Cain; prodigies of learning that wander
over the continent like vagabonds; speak
ing many languages; poets philosphers, yet
murders and thieves; claiming decent from
Isarel or from Alexander the Great, yet
lying abject, knavish beggars; peddling
in the same hour diamonds, pills manu
scripts, garments, pearls, antiquarian relics,
musk shawls, or cutlery, which they have
carried immense distances but with distrust
of every one, they keep concealed till op
portunity for their disposal presents iself;
the aentest unhappiest of mankind. The
temper and the bone of the first murderer’s
family, remain with them, after all the
changes of 6,000 years, till this day.
Oriental.
Ncic Kind of Colporteurs.—A correspon
dent sends us the following:
In the -‘Drawer” of the last Harper,
there is among other good things, one about
a cute Connecticut tin-pedler, who went
South, and sold “Young’s Night Thoughts”
for $5 apiece, hy calliugthem ''had hooks”
—and who thought it was a moral and
religious occupation. Perhaps it was hut
he was not quite so cute as one I knew in
Concord, N. H. It used to he in those
days—and probably is now—they being
a very moral and religious people! five
dollars fine for any one to be caught pos
sessed of an immoral book. It was in
those days, too, when “General Training”
followed each other in as rapid succession
as children take the measles in a country
school, and pedlers were as thick as six in
a hed, going from one place to another
with wonderful speed for those days—and
as many buyers, and made “much monies.”
It would natually happen that among
many of these “cute” chaps there would
be a great cracking of brains, to see who,
and what would draw the greatest crowds
Now this chap had somewhere found a
large quantity of small testaments, which
he acquired for a trifle apiece; sealed up
in nice paper wrappers, aud by pretending
to sell them on “the sly” as “unlawful
books,” and a promise not to examine them
on the ground on account of the fine.—
They went otlTike “hot cakes.” The de
mand for one of ’‘them books,”by young
men in pursuit of knowledge—and the
celerity with which they would deposit
them in some secret pocket, to escape the
argus eye of the lay, was truly laughable,
lie called it a “new way of circulating
the scriptures among the heathen!”
Should Young Ladies Evince a Prefer
ence?—The conventionalities of society
demand that young ladies should not evince
preference for those they like and to whom
they really desire to be married. The
maxim is, that mothers must do all that
portion for them. A correspondent of the
Louisville Courier thinks all this is wrong,
and that it would be much better if there
was more frankness in this important mat
ter—than in mere mana-uvering in an un
der handed wav. He says, with much
truth:
The plain fact is this—young ladies arc
sent into society that they may be seen and
married. Society is a market for young
girls. Marriage is recognized as the only
proper sphere of life for woman; men insist
upon this fact. Mothers wish to do the best
tiling possible for their daughters, and if
marriage is best, what wonder that poor
parent exerts herself for her daughter.—
She sends her into the world; she dresses her
fashionable; sheinstnets her how to please
she maneuvers, as far as public opinion
will allow, to secure for her daughter a good
match. All mothers are not successful
and season after season is spent by the
poor girl in the vain effort to gain a hus
band. How sad—how painful!
Is marriage necessary for woman’s hap
piness? If so, do let her have a fair chance
with man. Let all things be done openly;
let parents invite such individuals as they
think suitable for their daughters to their
own houses for thejavowed purposes ofform-
ing acquaintances with regard to matri
mony; let ladies not be afraid to show their
preferances of some persons over others.—
Many a modest young man would then
gaiu a wife to whom he otherwise would
never dare to propose, and many a girl
would gain a husband she loves, instead
of taking in despair one to whom she is in
different. If woman had the confidence
that man possesses that she could be mar
ried if she would think less on the subject;
she would be a better daughter, a better
friend, and have time to attend to house
keeping duties and other things suitable
to render her a good wife. Then few, but
the very frivolous, would go to halls or large
parties.

Little Lecture for Little Folks.—A
daguerrean artist came to mir little village
a few days since, and hung out his sign
in the most conspicuous place. Of course
he was the general topic for the time being.
The Imrdeu of conversation in the village
was, “Are you going to have your daguer
reotype taken?” “Have you had it?”—
“When are you going to sit for your minia
ture?” etc.
In consequence, all the little folks were
on tiptoe to have their pictures taken.
One sensible mother made it the oppor
tunity of impressing her children’s minds
with a lesson of life-long importance, by
saying, “I shall be glad to get your daguer
reotypes, my dears, but I wish for another
picture taken by myself, one for whch you
are unconsciously sitting every day. It is
your picture in my heart. Now you wish
me to curl your hair and put on yoHr most
becoming holyday attire, and you will no
doubt look your best when you sit for
the artist to take your miniature. No
frowns on your brow, no pout on your lip,
no angry glance in your eye, no discontent
upon your countenance, l dare say.
“And do you wish that a shadow, a
daguerreotype that may bo easily lost,
broken, or in many ways destoyed—do
you wish that that shall be more lively
than the picture that your mother will
wear in her heart so long as her life shall last?
Your daily life engraves an indestructible
picture; then be careful that no shadow of
rudeness, neglect, or disobedience, dim its
future or mar its features.”
Marrying in Fun.”—An instance of the
folly of “marrying in fun,” is just now
exciting the good people of Fonda," New
York. It seems that a banking officer in
that town met at a hall a young lady from
tliisneighbordood, who was very good look
ing, sprightly and attractive. While waltz
ing with her, he proposed in jest that they
should he married. The lady accepted
his proposition, and they adjourned to a side
room, where a person present was called
upon to perform the ceremonies, which he
did, to the infinite amusement of all con
cerned. The gentleman thought no more
of matter until the breaking up of the ball,
when the fair partner called upon him to
conduct her to his residence. He demur
red, and thought she had better go to her
own residence. She said the home of her
husband was her home, ‘whither thou goest,
I will follow thee.’ lie did’nt hardly un
derstand that she was his wife. She insis
ted upon her marital rights, and claimed
that as the ceremony had been performed
hy a Justice of the Peace it was a perfect
ly fair and legal transaction. Gentleman
inquired into matters: found that her posi
tions were correct, and that he was in a
bad box. He is now endeavoring to ignore
his wife and back out of the bargain with
little prospect of success, however. The
lady has befoie been married,'and was, it
is understood, divorced from her former
husband, but under such circumstances as
admitted of her marrying again.
Lore in China.—Meadows’ History of
the Chinese and their Hebellions, lately
published in London, is the most philosoph
ical work which has yet appeared on the
Chinese. A chapter on Love contains the
following:
A Chinese, who had been disappointed
in marriage, and had greviously suffered
thro’ women in many other ways, retired
with his infant son to the peaks of a moun
tain range in Kwei-choo, to a spot quite
inaccessible to little footed Chinese women.
He trained the boy to worship the gods
and stand iu awe and abhorrence of the
devils; hut he never mentioned woman to
him, and always descended the mountain
alone to buy food: At length, however, the
infirmities of age compelled him to take
the young man with him to carry the
heavy bag of rice. As they were leaving
the market town together, ihe son sudden
ly stopped short, and pointed to three ap
proaching objects, cried.—“Father, what
are these things? “Look! look! what are
they?” The father hastily answered with
the peremptory order—"Turn away your
head—they are devils:”—The son in some
alarm turned away; noticing that the evil
things were gazing at him with surprise
from behind their fans. He walked to
the mountain top in silence, ate no supper
and from that day lost his appetite and
was afflicted with melancholy. For some
time his anxious and puzzle parent could
get no satisfactory answer to his inquiries;
but at length the young man hurst out,
crying with inexplicable pain—‘Oh, father,
that tallest devil—that tallest devil, fath
er!’
“Bob, Harry Smith has one of the grea
test curiosities you ever saw.” “Don’t
say so—what is it ? “A tree which never
sprouts, and which becomes smaller the
older it grows.” “Well, that is a curosity.
Where did he get it ?” “From California.”
“What is the name of it ? “Axletree!
It once belonged to a California omnibus.”
Scene closes by Bob throwing an inkstand
at the half closed door.
Poor Women in Europe.—The New
York Tribune, which is always howling
over the horrors of Southern slavery, gives
the following account of the brutal treat
ment of free white women in France.
But yesterday women in European,
Christendom were relieved from absolute
slavery—from being bought and sold like
dumb beasts, or like 2,000,000^ American-
boru women. Now. in Europe, it is a fact
that when one occupation is harder or more
repulsive than another, a woman may he
selected to do it. We have seen such
scenes as this, which we give to exeinpliiy
our position. At a French port a wharf
was being repaired; it was necessary to drain
a portion of the clock round about it; the
operation engendered a stench, so work
women accordingly were sent down to
complete tho operation. In France we
have seen a woman, geared with a quad
ruped, plowing. In Paris women are
scavengers and porters. On the Rhine
they drag the boat. In Vienna they car
ry hods- And so through tho whole cata
logue of masculine meanness, cowardice, cru
elty and infamy. Every scoundrel called
great—the Napoleons, the Csesars, the
Alexanders—doom woman to yet more
ghastly drudgery by the wars which kill off
their natural protectors, destroy capital, and
multiply pauperism. “I -was,” says an
American, ‘six months in the south of France
at the time of Nepoleon’s Russian campaign
.Daring that time I did not see six men
working in the fields, but all women—the
men being “dragged away lor slaughter
and glory.’
“Are you a Catholic?” “No, I’m a Nova
Scotian,” said the witness, quite simply.
“What, that’s a new meed,” quoth the
lawyer; “should not the witness be sworn
on a blue nose potato 1” The Court was
in doubt, and left the qnstion open.
The Way Hattie tarred her “Better Half,, of
Smoking.
A wild girl was Mattie Lee. I knew
her when she was hut fifteen; she was first
in every frolic; a favorite with the mas
ter, yet the scholar who, oftener than any
of the rest, caused a shade to rest upon his
hrow. I knew her when a grown-up
young lady; she was first in every party
of pleasure; a favorite with all the genfle-
men, yet a coquette who, oftener than any
other, caused a shade to fall upon their
hearts. I knew her, too; when a true
hearted woman, she gave her hand, with
her heart in it, to Richard Forrest, the
editor of one of our village papers. Now
Richard was a fine fellow, but, like a great
manwother “nice young men,” had one bad
habit; he would smoke. This same habit
annoyed my friend Mattie quite as much
as it would have done most ladies, but
she did not commence curing him of it as
they would have done, with prayers and
tears, entreating him for “the love he once
bore her,” togivd up the “noisome weed”
not she. Mattie took a plan less thread
hare, and it was something after this
wise:
They were hoarding, and had a nice
room—the second story front. On a cer
tain evening, just before dark, SIattic
busied herself with putting the room in
perfect order—placed every chair where
it belonged, arranged, the books on the
table, and the mantle ornaments in a
tasteful manner. After taking a careful
survey of tlie room, and satisfying herself
that everything was as it should he, she
went to a bureau and took from one of its
drawers “some new jewel, probably,” you
will say, “with which she intends adorning
herself to meet her lord.” She carefully
unrolled the paper, and took from it a new
spotless tobacco-pipe; then opening, at one
end, a little roll of carefully sealed silver
paper, she commenced stuifiing the pipe
with fine-cut tobacco. How strange her
little white fingers looked diving into the
hateful stuff! The pipe well filled, she
laid it carefully on the table, placed a
match beside it and seated herself to await
the coming of her “better half.”
Soon she heard the street door open,
and a well-known footstep in the hall be
low. Quickly lighting the match, she ap
plied it to tlie sweet-scented herb in the
pipe, re-seated herself, and when the
husband entered, sat quietly by the stove,
wreaths of blue smoke curling gracefully
above her head, which was thrown back iu
that peculiar position of enjoyment which
gentlemen usually assume while inhaling
the weed.
Mr. F had opened the door with
visions of Mattie’s smiling face looking
lovingly upon him, floating through his
mind. How different the picture that
met his astonished gaze! On hearing the
door open, Mattie looked up, and, seeing
her husband, deliberately took the pipe
from her mouth aud wished him “good
evening,” as though nothing unusual had
happened; she quietly resumed her smok
ing. Richard regarded her with a mixture
of surprise and horror for a few moments,
and then gave vent to his feelings in
words:
“Why, Martha what am I to think?
Have you suddenly lost you senses?”
“I do not see any strong evidence of
such being the case,” answered the lady
addressed; then, as if comprehending the
cause of his astonishment, she asked, “Is
it possible, Richard, that you did not know
of my habit of smoking? Did I—did none
of our family ever tell you?”
It may be well here to state that my
friend Mattie urns not always as scrupulous
iu adhering to truth as she might have been;
at least she did not think it very objection-'
able, under some circumstances, “to do evil
that good might come.
Each particular hair of Richard’s head
seemed to stand on end, contemplating the
tale unfolded by that word habit. The
only outward manifestation he made to
the state of his feelings was an emphatic
“Impossible!” accompanied hy a look of
pious horror.
“Why impossible, my dear sir? And
acquired the habit lately, I should only
have been treading in your footsteps,
thereby showing my willingness to be
guided, as a dutiful* wife should be, by the
inclinations of my husband, and a laudable
desire to consult, in all things, his tastes;
but I have no such commendable motives
to offer. I was influenced wholly by a
desire to please myself. I used to think,
before we were married, that I would give
up the practice and never let you know
that it had been; but since I have found
how much it adds to your enjoyment, and
you have told me so often how much your
pleasures are heightened by being shared
by me, I have almost concluded that it is
my duty to continue it. How delightful
it will be to sit together during the loug
winter evenings, and thus taste the de
lights of social intercourse. Come, sit
down; I have here a cigar in readiness for
you; I prefer the old-fashioned pipe.”
By this time Richard’s brain was well-
nigh stupified.
“It cannot be possible that my wife
would so degrade herself!” he at length
exclaimed.
“Why, Richard, it seems to me you are
making a great ado about a small matter.
I do not think it is so dreadful to enjoy a
harmless innocent, pipe in my room oc
casionally, where no one can possibly know
of it hut yourself. Besides, if there is
any degradation in the practice, as you
hinted a moment ago, 1 am only coming
down to a level with my husband. You
expect me to love you, notwithstanding
the habit; why not vice versal And if it
makes no change in your feelings towards
me, I care nof what others think,” and
Mattie now locked up in his face with such
an expression of veneration for him and all
his actions, that he almost laughed, annoy
ed as he felt.
“Come, Mattie,” said he, more pleasant
ly than he had yet spoken, “let us make an
agreement. If you will leave oft smoking,
I will use but one cigar a day for a week,
and then give it up entirely. What do you
say!
•‘I do not see way I should not have the
same priviledge as vousself,” said Mattie,
pretending to be offended. “It is prob
ably quite as difficult for me to give up
an old established habit.” Then, after a
moment’s consideration, she added: How
ever, since I consider that proviso in your
favor, an acknowledgement of the superior-
ty of the strength of woman’s will over
that of the stronger sex, I will accede to
your proposition.
If Richard ever smoked that “one cigar
a day for a week,” Mattie never knew it.
On that eventful night he had “seen him
self as others saw him,” and with the
sight vanished forever his lovo of smoit-

Amalgamation In Boston.—During the
past year there were in the capital of Yan
kee notions forty-six colored marriages.—
Twelve colored men were married to white
women, and one colored woman was mar
ried to a white man.
Letter from Utah Territory.—More
Bloodshed ly the Mormons.—We have
dates from Salt Lake City to April 1st,
accounts of more violence, and even blood
shed by the Mormons.
It appears that a man named Parrish, a
seceding Mormon, left the wall town of
Springville, to come to the States on foot,
his wagon and horses having been stolen
by Mormons the night previous to the de
parture. He was accompanied by bis two
sons, and two men named Potter and Dar-
ger. They had not left the place more
than a few hundred yards behind when
they were attacked by a number of men
armed and disguised. Potter was shot
dead, five balls having entered his body;
Parrish fell wounded, when one of the as
sailants rushed upon him, and, in his dis
abled condition, cut his throat from ear to
ear, and ripped up his abdomen. One of
Parrish’s sons ran about eighty yards,
when he was struck down, his throat cut
and his abdomen ripped up: The other
young Parrish and Darger contrived to es
cape. Tho only notice taken of the mat
ter hy the Mormon authorities was the
summoning of the coroners jury who
sat upon the case and returned a verdict
of “assassination by some persons un
known.”
Potter was a brother of one of the men
killed in Gunnison’s massacre, and was
one of the very few who knew the secret
history of that sanguinary transaction.—
Parrish and his sons ' wero also well
acquainted with the Mormon secrets,
having once been in full Mormon commun
ion.
Another tragedy, not very dissimilar, is
also reported by the mail from Utah. It
occurred about seventy miles from Paro-
wan, on the California road, and the vic
tims were a small party of seceding Mor
mons emigrating to California. Four wero
shot as they sat encamped at the foot
of some rocky hills. The names of
two of these men were Tobin and Pel-
tro. They, too, were, well apprised of
the aims and secrets of tho Mormons, and
therefore to dangerous too be allowed to
emigrate.
Joseph Young, a son of Brigham, has
returned from England to which he has
been accredited as a missionary. He left
a young wife behind him when he under
took his mission, but since his return has
taken no notice of her. To make up for
this defiency he has “sealed” two new
wives, one of them aneice of the deceased
Jeddediah Grant. Brigham’s youngest
daughter, Alice, by his first and true wife,
has been recently “sealed” much against
her mother’s will as well as her own, to a
man named Clawson, who had already
three or four wives. Bapstims had been
very frequent in Great Salt Lake City. At
one of these ceremonies four hundred Mor
mons were baptized and re-baptized, and
at another three hundred went through the
same “purifying” rites.
Advanced Wages to Seamen.—The
committee appointed by the Chamber of
Commerce, to consider the present condi
tion of merchant seamen, and devise some
means to improve their position and effi
ciency, met on Wednesday. It was deci
ded to recommend that the system of pay
ing advanced wages be abolished. A pa
per, already signed by 42 of the principal
ship owning firms and houses in New York-,
was presented for further signatures, agree
ing, after 1st July to abolish the system of
advanced wages—in lieu of which to pro
vide articles of clothing on board, to be
sold to those who are not provided, at cost;
to give a bounty of 10 per cent, to seamen
who ship, and also make the return voy
age; to pay, in the event of a vessel being
lost, such wages as was due at the time
of her loss, and to pay at least a month’s
wages on a foreign voyage, and half a
months wages on a coastwise, even al
though it has not been earned: Those are
the principal points,. The agreement is to
be subjected to the general approval of the
merchants before being fully adopted.— N.
Y. Sun.
If this plan was generally adhered to by
ship owners and captains of vessels, it
would be the most effectual means of pro
tecting themselves and the sailors from the
impositions and vilianies of a certain class
of sailor hoarding-house keepers. With
no advance there would be no abductions
of seamen.
Errors About the Honey Bee.—The fol
lowing remarks from the Albany Cultiva
tor, may correct some erroneous notions
about,the modus operandi of the industrious
bee:
Many suppose that the bee culls honey
from the nectar of flowers, and simply car
ries it to his cell in the hive. This is not
correct. The nectar he collects from the
flower is a portion of its food or drink; the
honey it deposits iu its cell is a secretion
from its melific, or honey-craating glands;
analogous to the milk-secreting glands of
the cow and other animals. If they were
the mere collectors and transporters of
honey from the flowers to the honeycomb,
then we should have them frequently filled
with molasses, whenever the bees have fed
at a molasses hogshead. The honey-bag
in the bee performs the same function as the
cow,s bag or udder—merely receives the
honey from the secreting glands, and retains
it till a proper opportunity presents for its
being deposited in appropriate store-houses,
the honeycomb.
Another error is that the bee collects
pollen from the flowers accidentally while it
is iu search of honey. Quite the contrary
is the fact. The bee when in search of
nectar, or honey as it is improperly called,
does not collect pollen. It goes in search
of pollen specially, and also for the use of
the bee there is no nectar in the flower. It
is generally supposed, also, that the bee con
structs the wax from which it constructs its
comb from such vegetable substances.
This is also an error. The wax is a secre
tion from its appearance in small scales or
flakes under the rings of the belly, and is
taken thence by other bees, rendered plas
tic by mixture of the saliva of the bee’s
mouth, and laid on the walls of tlie cells
with the tongue, very much in the way a
plasterer uses his trowel
Look at Hume.—One of the objections
(says the Harrisburg Union) made to the
decision of the Supreme Court in
the Dred Scott case is,, that it declares
negroes not to be citizens. There is
nothing either novel or monstrous in this
Our own State Constitution, under which
our own Black Repuplicans “live and
breathe and have their being,” virtually
declares the same doctrine Negroes are
not citizens in the State ofFenusylvania—
none but free white men are; and yet our
valorous republicans pass over this fact and
indignantly assail Judge Taney, a man
whose character stands above reproach, and
whose ermine has never been soiled by a
single corrupt act, forexpressing an opinion
in 1857 which the Constitutional Conven
tion of Pcnnsylvnia declaired as early as
1838.
Stick to your own Business.—“Let specu
lators make their thousands in a year or
day, mind your own regular trade; never
turning from it to the right hand or to the
left. If you are a merchant, a professional
man, or a mechanic, n<wer buy lots or stock,
unless you have surplus money which you
wish to invest. Your own business you
understand as well as other men; but other
people’s you don’t understand. Let your
own business he one which benefits the
community. All occupations possess the
elements of profit in themselves, while mere
speculation has no such elements*
