And as regards the imaginary wants of the •ife which our friend considers as unfavorable to the attrac tions of home, we believe is a disposition to which both sexes are very prone, but most prominent, and, consequently, most difficult to subdue, in the Lords of creation, —strange that so rll ny of our faults are seldom recognized, unless in the mirror of another’s conduct —all desire a great deal, and j-, ul(<v that they really need it; when in truth “ Man wants but little, nor wants that little long.” But as our receipt is becoming lengthy, we will just add, let husbands preserve through life their first warmth of affection, let it increase n( j strengthen, while they look (only) for its full develop ment in Heaven, and they will find no lack of smiles at home, and as much contentment, order and quiet, as a for bearing and kindly disposed husband could desire. jq * * * * * ’ ‘ Ml £ Silill OVV 8 . \mendnent of the Emigrant Act. —The act (ur the protection of emigrants landing in this statc?

Msrcury, Interchange of Civilities. —The London Times says, that when the Peninsular and Orien tal steam navigation Company’s ship Ripton, Capt. Moresby, went into Alexandria on the Bth of* March, the American frigate “ Constitution ” was in that port. She immediately manned yards, her band playing the British National Anthem as the British Steamer passed. The Ripton acknowledged the compliment, and on leaving for England, on the 10th, her band struck up “Hail Columbia,” when the frigate immediately manned yards, and cheered with the greatest enthusiasm. This friendly feeling, man ifesteditiso agreeable a manner, served to indicate that the attentions shown to the United States Frkate Saint Lawrence during her stay at South humpton were not forgotten, bat are fully appre ciated and acknowledged by the officers of the American navy in other parts of the world.— Agu I ark Sun. Wonderful Escape of a Slave. A few weeks ago, a slave in a southern city managed to open a correspondence with a gentleman in a northern city, with a vifivv of effecting an escape from bondage. Having arranged the prelimina ries, lie paid somebody S4O to box him up, and mark, “This side up with care,” and take him to the Express office, consigned to his friend at the North. On the passage, being on board of a steamboat, he was accidentally turned head down wards, and almost died with the rush of blood to the head. At the next change of transportation, however, he was turned right side up again, and alter 26 hours confinement, arrived safely at his destination. On receiving the box, the gentle man had doubts whether he should find a corpse or a tree man. He tapped lightly on the box, u ith the question, “ All right ? ” and was delighted to hear the reponse, “ All right sir.” The poor fellow was immediately liberated from his place ot living burial, and forwarded to a wealthy abo litionist in a city in New England, where he now W e have assurance that this story is no flight ot fancy, but is absolutely true. — Burlington Cou rier.

Simple Remedy. —A few days since, a little boy in our village alarmed his parents very much by forcing a grain of Tuscarora corn up one of his nostrils, so far that it could scarcely be seen. The Doctor was immediately sent for to relieve him ; but before he reached the house, a lad\ T ANARUS, who had called in to see what was the matter, as sured the distressed mother that she could remove the corn in a moment. W bile the mother held the child firmly, her neighbor applied a finger to the open nostril, so as to close it effectually, and then putting her mouth over the little sufferer, she blew into it with as much force as she could exert, when, to the sur prise of all, the grain of corn flew out to the dis tance of six or eight feet. As the surgical ap paratus herein described, is always at hand, we recommend its use in all similar cases.— Abbeville Banner. Marrying for Money. —Bulwer, in the last Blackwood—the Caxtons —says : For you, my dear, and frank, and high-souled young friend—for you I should say, fly from a load upon the heart, on the genius, the energy, the pride, and the spirit, whicl/not one man in a thousand can bear; fly from the curse of owing every thing to a wife ! It is a reversal of* all nat ural position—it is the manhood within us. You know not what it is; I do! My wife’s fortune came not until after marriage. So far so well; it saved my reputation from the charge of fortune hunting. But I will tell you fairly, that if it had never come at all I should be a prouder, and a greater, and a happier man than I have ever been, or ever can be, with all its advantages. It has been a mill stone round my neck. And yet Eli nor has never breathed a word that would wound my pride. The speech made by Mr. DTsraeli in the House of Commons, on proposing the resolutions relative to the burdens on agriculture, was sent for analy sis to the laboratory of that eminent chemist, Mr. Punch. It appeared as a mass of watery vapor, nearly equal in volume to a small duo decimo, but which was reduced by condensation into a much smaller space. On applying the test of Mr. Jos. Hume, there was thrown down a large precipitate of imaginary facts and figures. There remained in solution a tissue of misrepresen tations combined with a great amount of clap-trap and a considerable portion of fatty matter, that on examination proved to be gammon ; from which substances the liquid was separated by dis tillation. The product which came over was chiefly aqueous; containing, however, traces of spirit, and a minute quantity of essential princi ple —which consisted in easing the landlords of taxation at the expense of the community, and leaving the much enduring tenant-farmers worse off than they are. The Boston Printers’ Union had a festival in that city on Saturday evening last. The affair, as described in the Boston papers, passed off in good style ; and any quantity ol printers’ toasts were proposed and drunk.

Mean. —Aunt Betty tells a story of a neighbor who is “ meaner than parsley,” “ Why,” she says, “whenever he happened to get held of a half dollar, he would give it such a hard squeeze that the poor Eagle would really squeal.” ‘ Money’ we are told by the New York papers, ‘is tight again in Wall street.’ ‘Money’ ought positively to be ashamed of itself. But money always was a ‘ rum’ sort of a thing, and those who get much of it naturally leel their elevation. Tunes. Impromptu on the election of Augustus Drum, democrat, over Johnston, whig, in the twentieth Senate district of Pennsylvania.

She dismissed her lover for remarking in her presence that there was a prospect of the wind shift- ing. Kissing. —A young lady who was rebuked by her mother for kissing her intended, justified her self by quoting the passage : “ Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them.” Squaring the Circle . —From the numerous ex periments, which I have lately tried, says a wri ter in the Scientific American, I believe the following to be the true proportion between the diameter and circumference of a circle. If the diameter be 1, the circumference will be 3,0625, and the area 765625; the side of an equal square 575. Or, if the diameter be 16, the circumfer ence will be 49, and the side an equal square 14. Singular Prophecy. —In the “ Vestiges of Cre adon,” published several years ago, is the follow ing passage: —“The United States might be ex pected to make no great way in civilization till they be fully peopled to the Pacific; and it might not be unreasonable to expect that, when the event occurred, the greatest civilization of the vast ter ritory will be found in the Peninsula of California, and the narrow strip of country be} ;r ond the Rocky Mountains.” Protesting a Note. —Accommodation notes are, it appears, sometimes given as a mere means of “ raising the wind ” —at least this was the case when one was sent a few days ago to Mr.— , one of our best known notaries, for “ notice ol non-payment.” Happening to know the drawer, the worthy officer called upon him in person. — The former, seeing him approach his residence, met him at the door, and welcomed him in. “ I am glad to see you, Mr. “Soam I you,” replied the officer, “ I have a note of yours sent to me for protest.” “ Ah! very well, do you get anything for the job?” “Certainly —I shall get one dollar and thirty seven and a half cents, it you do not pay the note now.” “ Indeed ! Well, I’m glad that somebody gets paid ; for, when I gave it, I did not expect any body would ever get a cent for it, for 1 havn t a dollar in the world.
