Collins appropriation was caused by
outright corruption. Let no man de
fend it and claim to wash his hands of
the stain. In law fraud vitiates a con
tract. In legislation corruption should
work similar consequence. A con
tract carried through Congress by the
purchase of votes, (if the purchase could
be proved, which, in such -case wou Id
alwaya be the great difficulty,) would
doubt lese be held to be invalid by the
louris. X be men who were corrupted
in the Collins appropriation, arid the
agents engaged in the work of doing it,
deserve the penitentiary. - But we do not
step bere. If the principle of law to
which we refer is aound, then it ia the
duly of every upright legislator to with
hold bia vote from every measure which
be knows or has good reason to believe,
is aided by corrupt appliances. In this
way only can a stop be put to the infa
mous business of paying measures thro'
Congress. The stigma of corruption
would damn any bill, if the moral tone
of our national Legislature were what
it ought to be. ' We are not aware that,
throughout all the discussions of Con
gress upon the various schemes of rob
bery before it at the last and present
session, any member Jias risen to.declare
his opposition to any bill simply on the
ground thai corruption was an element
in ita support. Doubtless many gontle
men may have given votes, under the
promptings or such , a sentiment, but tho
moral influence that auch a position
boldly and openly takes on the floor of
congress would have upon legislation,
we believe hat yet to be exorted. We
are quite aware that this suggestion may
be received with an incredulous smile
among member of Congresr, and that
they will innocently declare that such a
rule would incapacitate them from vo
ting for most measures where appropria
tion are concerned. What sort of an
answer thia would be, the public must
judge.
We do not know whether the corrupt
practices in regard to legislation which
nave rapidly been gaining ground in
Washington have risen to a sufficient
height to work their own cure. The de

One hundred and forty-eight years

And yet he waa no centua. flam

HINTS FOR HUSBANDS.
-There is an article afloat iu the pspera
entitled "Goldin Rule, for wives,"
which enjoins upon the ladiea a rather
bject submission to their nusoand a win
and whims. Iron rules, not golden
ones, we should call them. But the art
of living together in haimony is a very

aforesaid, we offer the following, as the
anbstance of Wbitt a wife likes in a
husband.
Fidelity is her heart's first most just
demand The act of infidelity a true
wife can not forgive it rudely breeka
tho tie that bound her heart to bia, and
that tie can never more extat,
The first place in her husband a affec
tions no true wife can learn to do with
out. When ahe loses that, aba haa lost
her husband ; aha is a widow ; and haa
to endure the pangs pf bereavement
intensified by tho presence of what ahe
no loneer possesses. There ia a living
mummy in the bouse, reminding her of
her losv in the moat painiui manner.
A woman likea her busoand to excel
n those dualities which distinguish the
masculine from tho frminine being, auch
as atrencth. couraae, fortitude, and judg
ment. She wanta her husband lo be
whollr a Mast. She cannot entirely
Llove one whom aha cannot entirely res
pect, believe tn, and rely on. .
A wife dearly likea to have bar bus

nudity in which they reside. - bha likea
to ba thought by herown sex a fortunate
woman in having auch a husband aa aha
haa. 1 She baa a-taste for tho respectable,
desires to have a good looking frontdoor
and to keep up a good appearance
generally. Some wives, it ia said, carry
thia too far; and aomo husbands, we
know, are danterously complaisant in
yielding to tha front door ambition of
tneir wives. ; nut a. gooa nusuana win
like to gratify hia wife in thia respect, aa

MORAL COURAGE.
A rare virtue, and great as it ia rare.
We remember when we thought the
courage of the field - everything. The
charge the world of all command
high sounding and clear amid the bat
tle's fury the clash of arms the roar
of artillery the thrill of the bugle's note,
aa with more than magic aound, it bids
tha soldier dare all for victory tbe ban
ner of your country in front; planted
there to stand amid victory or defoat ;
oh how young hearts beat to be actora
in such a scene, thrilling itglorious, and
holding iia brave spirits to mingle' in,
and fighting nobly, to lie down and die.
But what of the courage of the bat
tle field compared with the courage of
every day life'! Stand alone ; see frienda
scowl : hear distrust speak ita foul sus
picion ; watch enemies taking advantage
of the occasion, laboring to destroy :
who would not rather encounter the
stock of a hundred battle fields and
lead a forlorn hope in each, than bear
and brave these things T Why, the one
is as the summer breeze on the ocean
to winter a stormiest blast. Any com
mon spirit may summon courage to play
the soldier well ; use quickly first him
for jt. But it requires a man to speak
out hia thoughta as he thinks them i to
do ; when like that stormy blast in win
ter on old ocean, peace honor and life
are threatened to be ewept away. -Yet
who looking back on the page of histo
ry, or forward to the hope of the future
would heeitato which of the two to
choose t The martyr what are they T
Chronicle names in all hearts. The
patriots who died for liberty, ignomin
tously and on tbe scaffold : how farea it
with them T ' Cherished aa earth's honor
ed aona. The good, who speaks the
truth and suffered for its sake; where
are they f - Tba beat and brightest ;
first in our thought and love. And yet,
hat did they I i.lke man they spoke
the truth that was in them. Thia was
their courage. If they had been ailent,
trembling' before tyranta or mobs,
they had feared to tell what they felt,
they would . have Itved ana died like
other men. But they had the moral
courage to do all thia, and, thought they
perished, man was blessed through their
suffering, and truth lighted, up with new
glory and power.
uive ua moral courage Deiore every
thing else 1 It is tho .only bravery .on
which humanity may court for any real
blessing. Give us moral courage first
and last! f or wnue it nervea a man
for duty, and all bad passion, making
him wiao amid dangor, calm amid' ex
citement, just amid lawlessness and
mid coruption. It ia the crowning
beauty of manhood. C. ii. Clay,
would be tbe light that now beams over the
world of science andmoraU? Ignorance and
superstition would wran their vloomv nail
around the mind) and the nineteenth century
wuuia do miauignt, without a gleam of light
v nciaiu mo approach or oar.
c.very.aay observation, if we attend to
what is passing within our own mind, and
arouna us, leaches us the importance and ne
oewny or this principle. The person who
lacks mental courage no matter what his
other endowments are is quite useless to the
worldj and we might almost say, to himself.
He is at the mercy of every crafty and design
ing person, who plays . upon hia feawand no
absurdity ia too neat far him tn anlnh dmn

No one feels the death of a child as the
mother feels it. The father cannot realise it
thus. True there is a vacar.cv in hia noma.
and a heaviness in his heart; there ia a ehain of
association that at aet times oom.ee round with
ita broken link: there are memories of endear
