long the discussion by "a denial.' He
therefore without contesting the point
ordered a hackney coach to the spot.' '
Mr. Brown accordingly lent an arm
to Mrs.' Jones, who had .somewhat, re
covered, and was about to close the door
upon her. ' ' -' ' .'. .

Dr. Hall on Hotel Living. .. ..
In 'the Hit "number of Kis ' Jovknal of
Jleahh, Dr. Hall says of the system . of
family living: !. . ; ,'. .;, ... , '
- W hen a wife or a daughter has noth
ing to do and -the appetite is stimulated
day after day by all the arts of scientific
cookery'.'--when the five orcIock dinner
is universal, and when the stomach is
"raving for food in consequence of the
almost entire absence since breakfast a
double work is thrown in .upon it .in, its
debilitated state, and keeps it "laboring"
during: the.,' greater part of the ; night;
making what -ought to be the hours of
peaceful rest, absolutely hideous by ter
rible dreams , and the morning comes
without the blessed renewal of strength
which healthful sleep would have:given,
arid this for weeks and months together.
Verily, it is no wonder that the thought
ful ? physician should -- apply the
epithet, "thou fool," to any parent who
would expose a family ' to such a life
Aril in the light of it' we ; may gather
that the most certain means of making
life a failure, in to(o, on the. pa. t . of any
newly married 'couple, it is to "goto
boarding.'"; ' ; Better a; thousand j times,
socially morally and physically, hire a
two-roomed shauty, live on breid and
potatoes, and do the housework without
the aid of menials, and continue to do
these things until means are accumulated
to take a step' higher. '
A lp Ter .IVeddtma;.
,. A marriage was recently solemnized
in this vicinity which was brought about
by the bissextile privileges allowed to
the fair sex. ', The young lady had been
visiting in the neighborhood of her pres
ent liege lord, and . being prepossessed in
his tavor at, several casual meetings, ad
dressed him a letter on the important
subject nearest her heart. Of course. ;
she is a sensible woman, and told her
love in sensible language to a sensible
nian, it met with the right kind of re'
eeption. The bashful lover was only too
glad to act upon the hint, and ere two
months had passed the twain were made
one flesh. ; Ladies with timid swains, go
and do likewise "Barkis is willin'." -

AN INCIDENT IN THE CARS.
On the whole, pleasant traits and in

think. This opinionI expressed to my
friend Somers, the other" day. In reply
to " my " remark,7 he related a little ad
venture, which, as it is apropos, and
moreover involves a little love and sen
timent, I give without iipology, in his

The Mftrr j-tig Season In Ireland. '
From New Year's , Day to the com
mencement of Lent is the great marrying
season in many parts of Ireland. A
late Irish Journal says;
The "Irish marrying season has been,
this year, more than usually successful,
much to the advantage of the clergy, the
benefit of grocers, butchers, bakers, &c,
and the delectation of wedding goers.-
The middle classes, particularly, made a
first ; rate thing out of it, and Beldom
within the same space of time have so
many , of their numbers fallen willing
victims to the artful wiles of Cupid aB
during the last month. The Lotharios,
too, have been most liberal in the pay
ment of the marriage fees, and many a
"good Father" buttoned his pocket upon
a 20?., or 30Z. note, after performing the
ceremony, as a reward of his kind ser
vices.

AN OL.D MAID MAKES A TOtSO
WIDOW, :
i It is generally the case that the more
beautiful and rich a young female is,
the more difficult are both her . parents
and herself in the choice of a husband,
and the more offers they refuse. The
one is too tall, the other too short this
not wealthy , that not respectable enough;
Meanwhile one spring passes after , an
other, and year after year carries away leaf'
alter leat ot the bloom ot youth, and oppor
tunity after opportunity! Miss Harriet
Selwood was the richest heiress in her
native town; but she had already com
pleted her twenty -seventh year, and be
held almost all her young friends united
to, men whom she had, at one time or
other discarded.. Harriet began to be
set down for an old maid. Her parents
became really uneasy, and she herself
lamented in private, a position Which is
not a natural o'rie, and to which those to
whom Nature and Fortune have been
niggard of their gifts are obliged to sub
mit;, but Harriet as we have said, was
bo'th handsome and very rich. . . -,
'ISuch was the state of things when her
uncle,; a wealthy rnerchant in the North

The Way to Get Wealthy.
Never was money so scarce, every
body says; and everybody, we believe, is
justified in making the remark ; Silver
may be plentiful in bank, gold may be
abundant at Frazer river, but neither
can be picked ' up along the streets by
men too indolent to work, or women too
extravagant ' to study economy. They
will now discern that,
" Tis a very good world that !re live in,
To lend or to spend, or to give in,
But to beg or to borrow, or to get a man's bwrt, -
Tis the very worst world that ever was known." ;
. The proverb is an old one; but just as
applicable to our time as those of our an
cestors. Poverty haB not much credit
in bank parlors, though wealth is fre
quently less reliable, unless accompanied
by honest principle. The only thing to
be depended upon in these days is in
dnstry; that is the best financial institu
tion; it never fails. Abstemiousness
and frugality are the best bankers; they
allow a handsome interest, arid never dis-.
honor. a draft drawn on them by their
humblest customers. That's our opin
ion of the matter.- Old Jonathan.

BUSINESS,
, Business is opening out3briskly, and
our merchants are anticipating an .- im
mense spring trade' A joticeable fact,
both here and at the East, is, that the
Southern, demands are unusually large
--thus showing how much, reliance is to
be placed in. the sensation articles of the
New York Herald, tl regard to the dis
continuance of the Southern trade.
, A vast number of new j buildings are
in course of construction many of them
fine business .houses.. Go where you
will,, in all parts of f the city these evi
dences of progress and improvement are
to, be seen. Old buildings, rusty and

meetings of working men have been held
here, to express, their co'hdeirinatib'ii of

. Quite an excitement was created a few
days since, by a: rumor that the large
building on the corner- of Third and
Main streets was about to topple from
it, foundation.. The, report, however,
was unfounded; , A like rumor hayipg
become current in regard to the Eleventh
District School-house, a committee was
appointed to examine it, who pronounced
it unsafe, . .... About one thousand children
attend ; this. school-, and if the. building
should fall during school hours, the con
sequences; are too fearful to contemplate.

,) , , THE PEESIDENCY.
Excitement is beginning to run nigh
on the question of who shall be the Chi
cago nominee? There is all old and
homely saying, which , it might be well
for our partisan leaders to remetttbfer.1
In these days of caucuses, conventions,
corruptions, bargains and sales or more
politely, "political machinery" they
Seem to. have entirely lost, sight of the
old axiom aforesaid viz: "The right is
atvoays expedient," and, in vulgar par
lance) "go in to win," unmindful of the
means Used to accomplish their ends, and
"uncaring consequences.'" . ..
. A tremendous effort is being made on
the part of certain would-be leaders, and
a portion of the press, to forcf Edward
Bates upon the Chicago Convention, as
the standard-bearer of the Republican
party in the coming contest cbntest
of more than usual interest and impor
tance, and wbich, in all probability, will
decide the political complexion Of the
Administration of our National Govern
ment for many years, to come. Now I
wish to inquire what great service this
gentleman has ever performed, to entitle
him to such distinguished consideration
at the hands of the Republican party?-
The most important act of his life of
which I hy any knowledge,- i, that lie
officiated as Chairman of the Convention
which nominated Millard Fillmore for
the open and avowed purpose of defeat
ing' John C. Fremont, in 1856. It is
also stated in a recent number of the
Cincinnati Gazette, (which, by the way,
has become so intensely Bates -ized that
it looks upon every other aspirant with
jaundiced eyes,) that "many years ago
he emancipated his slaves an act which
Washington did not do until the close of
his life." ; "Argal,?'-Edward Bates is a
better man than' George Wasnirigtotil t
' The strongest, and in fact the'only ar
gument I have seen urged for Mr. Bates,
is on the score of "availability." : It is
claimed by his ardent admirelrs ihat he will
be able to carry certain Southern States
which; of course, n Reprtf blican can do
arid ttis argument will,- of itself, drive
from his standard thousands of what are
known, as Radical 'Republicans, ',-Doe
any sane man 'suppose, for a moment,
that if : rioriiiha'ted by the Chicago Con
yenti'onj'rSlr.! Bates would' receive the
Electoral vote of a single Southern State?
Truly,' if . any such there be, they have
studied the politics of the country and
the temper of "the chivalry" to but poor
advantage. V Even ' if such a thing were
possible, would he not lose those North
ern States which are, at the , best, con-j
sidered '"doubtful," and thereby insure j
his certain defeat? The Louisville Jour
nal, one of the most liberal ot the South -
l
em Opposition papers, boldly declares,
since the publication of the recent letter j
defining his position, that "the Constitu
tional Union party of the South will acorn '
to touch Mr I BatesV'i :-.sii ; j i ...
It "is very evident that we needj.look
for no support; froni the South, i It is
idle to attempt a' fusion of the Northern
and Southern Opposition, and we must
stand or' fall upon ear own merits. "The
day of compromises is past." ' Theri let j
us nominate a straight-out, positive man
a man who. has been", identified With us
for years', and whose opinions are known
who,! when 'friends were few, and foes
many, was not afraid to declare his pnn
ciples, and boldly advocate theiri, in the
face of calumny, contumely and wrong.

with such a leader, I believe would be
infinitely better,; for, us tolbe defeated,
and I .'sho aid, welcome.. aach.- defeat, in
preference to success under the mongrel
flag of any man who stands upon an un

brow, with the laurel wreaths of a victory
won by others, through many;' a 'hard

THE ADJOTJRXEB SESSION.1
Some of our cotemporaries are niaking
a fusa-because the. General Assembly
have resolved to' adjourn 0"v6r to the 1st
of Janiiary 1861. This is all nonsense,
and rank . demagoguism, to boot. , An
nual sessions are a necessity biennial
sessions a humbug. . We have sayed the
cost of an adjourned session once and
but once since the Constitution of '51
went . into Operation. . The ripshot, my
masters, was; that Mr; Johri G. Breslin,
being left entirely to himself, had ample
time, and all the, opportunity he could
desire, to consummate his frauds on the
Treasury. . , Appropriations , fell short,
even where economically administered,
and State affairs wore embarrassed as they
had never been before. No no; after
the experience of , 1854-55,, have, but the
grace to shut up your canting mouths
about the "extravagance of annual ses
sions!" The sum retrenched then was
about 50,000 while the losses mounted
up to treble that sum.. The excuse of
fered; by, Republicans that appropria
tions cannot be wisely made for a period
of two years-is a sound and a valid ofie.
It was sufficient for the Democrats, two
ears agOj and "what's , sauce , for the
iroose is sauce for the gander. 7 .We like
what Col. Nigh said on this stlbject, the
other day,' from his place, in the House.
He spoke like an honest man, like an in
dependent legislatorj as we believe him
to be despite of our political antagon
ism He had the nerve to traverse the
whole ground and to call thirigs by their
right . names. . He knew this clamor,
raised by whomsoever-thit would, was
hollow and insincere, and he spoke out
his mind. Gpod for Nigh! Portsmouth

How to Keep Men at Home. - - .
: There would be fewer wretched mar
riages; fewer dissipated, degraded men, 1
women were taught to feel the angel duty
which devolves on them, to keep the
waridering steps of those who are tempted
so much more than they, in the paths of
virtue and peace to make them teel that
in the busy world is noise and confusion
-that at home there is Order and repose
that theif 4.'eyB3 look- brighter" when
they come that the'Smile of welcome is
ever ready to receive theirij the books
are ever ready to be. laid aside to minis
ter to the husband's pleasure; they Would
find amusement then at home, nor strive
to seek it elsewhere. And, not alone to
the higher classes of society should this
be taught; it should be a lesson instilled
into the minds of all high arid low. rich,
and poor. , Fewer heart-broken Wives,
weeping and scolding, would stand wait
ing at the doors of public houses, to lead
the unsteady steps of their drunken hus
bands home, if that home had offered a
room as cheerful a fire as bright, a weli
come as ready and cordial as at the tap
room they frequent, imty has, seldom
so strong a hold On men as Women; they
cannot, will not for duty's sake, remain
in a dull, tedious or illmanaged quarrel
some home, but leave it to find elsewhere
the comfort and amusement Which fails
them there; and when riot and revelry
have done their work, the wives and sis
ters, who have done so little ..to make
them otherwise, are pitied for iheir bad
iwalfenda and totftfteTB".
