TriK Tri e Woman. The true woman for
who'e ambition a husband's love and her
children's adoration are sufficient, who ap
plies her military instinct to the discipline
of her household, and whose legislative abili
ties exercise themselves in making laws for
her house ; whose intellect has field enough
for her in communion with her hasband, and
whose heart asks no other honors tlmn his
love and admiration; a woman who does not
think it a weakness to attend to her toilet,
and who does not disdain to be beautiful ;
who believes in the virtue of glossy hair
and well-fitting gowns, and who eschews
rents and raveled edges, slip-shod shoes and
audacious make-ups ; a woman who speaks
low and does not speak mnch ; who is patient
and gentle, and intellectual and industrious :
who loves more than she reasons, and yet
does not love blindly ; who never scolds and
rarely argues, but adjusts with a smile.
Such is the woman we have dreamed of
once in onr lives, and is the mother we will
worship in the backward distance of the
past.
BftiGiMa Yolxg's Wives. The saintly
IJrighaia, who has in the neighborhood of
seventy wives, ascertaining that some of the
Gentiles had been casting sheep's eyes at a
number of the prettiest, threw out the follow
ing geatle hint dnring a recent discourse;
" If any of those world's people interfere
rith my women, then, as the Lord lireth, I
will smite them, not even giving them time to
repent of their lustful purpose before death.
I will kill the curse, so help me God, if I
ever find them fooling around any of the fe
male members of my family.or trying to poke
their Geatile noses into any of my domestic
affairs. I will that."
H&m A country merchant having procur
ed a new clerk, waked him up in the morn
ing after he was hired, at a most unreasona
ble early hour, by calling out to him that
the " family were sitting dowo to the ta
ble." " Thauk you," said the boy, as he
turned over in bed to adjust himself for a
pew nap" Thauk you, but I never allow
pjysclf to eat anything during the night."
IST-One of the clergymen in Brooklyn has
forbidden the members of his congregation
I o siDg the popular song " Pop goes the
teasel" because one verse ends thus;
- The preacher kissed the cobbler's wife,
i'op goes the weasel.'
WGL. The old original Charter, which was
deposited in the trunk of the Charter Oak,
has been inclosed in a frame of wood of ibe
tree which preserved it 1C9 years ago.
The events of youth are stamped in

A Striking Simile .The Heating Waters.
Our readers will doubtless remember the
magic properties assigned to the Uiver Lctlio
in the Mvthology of ancient 0 recce. In
j those dark ages superstition held predomi
nant sway, and usurped the minds oi men.
Immersion in its waters was believed to
cause foraretfulness of past and present woes
the afflicted mind and diseased body could
alike throw off the trammels that bound
them, and being thus no longer the slaves of
mental or bodily enthralment, finish the rest
or their days with indifference to the past,
and unalloyed artieipation for the future.
But start not! attentive reader! when we
tell you with less fable, but far sterner fact,
that tre have a Lethe near onr homes and
hearths, whose waters not occasionally but
at all times flow in one continuous stream of
henlinar benifieence.
Whether the affliction emanate from the
deep-seated core of long neglected disease,
or iroiii the ravages oi maiignim ipiucmir,
or again from long protracted habits of dis-
v.ce there .s at h.n.i wiimn
the easy grasp of the poor sufferer, lie he
nign or low, a remedy lor ins woes to men
he can look for succor.
We allude, in the above remarks, to the
vastly spread and mighty influence of the
remedies which bear the name of the world
famed and renowned Professor Holloway.
Countless thousands of every tongne and
clime daily hymn his praises, as having lifted
them from a "bed of suffering and sorrow to
new life and reanimated vigor!
Be the malady hidden in the inmost vitals
of the unman frame, or evinced by superfi
cial sores, by snre, but gentle means, he
eradicates the secret evil, and disperses to
the winds the cArcnic revnm that has for
years defied the Physician's skill!
These uro not idle words we ntter, nor
the visionary imaginings of a fevered brain,
but the stern realities of long tried practice
and unfailing issue.
The suffrages of nniversal acclamatiou
stamp Holloway as the man, and his medi
cines as the means that administer to the
healing of the nations from the " Orient' to
tbe "Occidental" sun!
The printer herald's it from pole to pole,
and leaves to all and each but a " trior s
test"1 to wring from the unwilling Hps of the
skeptic and doubter the universally allowed
confession that " these things are so." -V.
II Examiner.
Thomof P. MragHcr on the Rtanlt.
We copy the following from the Irish
News, edited by Thomas F. Meagher:
There are glad tidings tidings of exceed
ing joy uttering themselves everywhere
about ns, as the sunshine widens. On a
thousand faces, as they hurry past our win
dow, there is a flashing pride. Sinewy-limbed
mechanic laborers craftsmen of every
calling students hastening to the colleges
and University merchants hastening to
their marts all Took joycns.'lMioyant, bright
as if it were the first day of summer.
The Constitution the Laws the Union
have had a victory such as Jefferson wo'd
have commemorated in some immortal docu
ment, full of strength, chastity, sublimity.
A victory such as Webster, from the pedes
tal of the mighty monument overlooking
Charlcstown, wuu'd have announced with a!I
the thunders of his eloquence. A victory
such as tbe poets of the Revolution, and all
who have since then echoed in more majes
tic harmonies the deeds done by Washing
ton, would have sung in numlK-rs pregnant
with a diviner fire than that which woke
into martial hymns the lyre of Tyrtaeus and
that of Koemer. A victory sneh as the
great orators of the American pulpit may
well proclaim in the midst of loud anthems
and hosannahs throughout the cities and the
hamlets, the homesteads of the prairie, the
vineyard of Ohio, and the mines of the Sac
ramento, richer than than those of Opbir.
The black peril which overhung this coun
try yesterday which filled every wise and
good man with the saddest foreboding
which has moved the soul of the people to
itsJeepest depth, and darkened it with fear,
anguish, and all the emotions which precede
a furious civil stsife th peril, thanks be to
God! has passed away. But yesterday, and
the land trembled on the verge of an un
known future. To-day, and the future into
which it enters is illuminated. There are no
terrors now lefore the people, their states
men, and their law-givers. All is bright,
disentangled, solid. The Republic is pre
served. Another period full of peace, unity,
brotherhood, and all the prosperous activity
of a compact and inseparable Common
wealth, opens to the historian, who, lrom
the highest posts in the public service the
Secretaryship of the American Xavy and
the mission to England secludes himself to
chronicle the struggles, labors and splendors
of his country.
Double Scrprise. Talking about " Sur
prise Parties" reminds the Syracuse Stand
ard of a little incident that happened at
New Bedford a few nights since. A party
of young folks was formed for the purpose
of giving a surprise to a married couple, but
upon proceeding to the house, it was found
that another visitor had anticipated them
only a few hours. It was a girl, " a little
darling, and looked just like its mother,
bless its heart." All parties were of course
slightly ' surprised." The " surprise" weigh
ed six and three quarter pounds.
One evil of old age is, that as yonr
time is come, yon think every little illness is
the beginning of the end. When a man ex
pects to be arrested, every knock at the
door is an alarm. Among the evils of get
ting old, one is that every little illnes may
be the last. You feci like a delinquent who
knows that the constable is looking out af
ter Liui. Sidney Smith.
Boiled Potatoes should never be covered
with a dish after coming from the pot in
which they are cooked, as they will assured
ly become " soggy." Better allow them to
remain in the pot after pouring off the wa
ter, placed as near to the fire as will keep
them moderately hot. Potatoes are spoilt!
by a tight cover over them after bcu'ling.
To know the pains of power, we
must go to those who have it; to know its
pleasures, we must go to those who are
seeking it. The pains of power are real; its
pleasures imaginary.

Professor Flogcl devotes 270 pages to
profoundly philosophical investigation of the
origin, use, and benefit of laughter general
lv, and treats of its different causes and
diversified and varied aspects tinder thirty
seven distinct heads. lie is able to iu
form ns how to judge a man's character
and disposition by hearing him langh. The
melancholy man's laugh is a poor hi, hi, hi !
j the choleric temperament shows itself in a
h he. he ! the phleermatic in a cheerful
ha, ha, ha ! and a sanguine is betrayed by
its own characteristic ho, ho, ho I
As a remedial agent nothing equals it
One heartv laugh every day will cure each
and all who are sick, or any way ailing of
whatever complnmt, and keep those in health
always well. The langh cure will even beat
the water enre, potent as it is. And the
two combined, if nniversally applied, would
soon close every apothocary shop, lay every
physician, water care included, on the shelf,
and banish every form of disease from
among them. All its giggles effectually stir
tip every visceral organ, clinrn the stomach
and bowels more effectually than any thing
else can possibly do hence the easy laugh
ers are alwavs fat hurrving the blood
throughout the system with a real rush,
burst open closed pores, and cast out mor
bid matter more rapidly for how soon does
the hearty langhter induce free perspiration
set the brain in motion to manufacture
emotions, thoughts, aid mentality, as noth
ing can excite it ! and universally practised,
would be worth more to the race, than if
California gold deposits covered the whole
earth ! Langhter is life ; while sadness
and long-faced sedateness is death.
A medical neighbor tells the following :
While on a picnic txcursion with a party of
young people, discerning a crow's r.est ou a
rocky precipice, they started in great glee
to see who would reach it first. Their haste
being greater than prndenee, some lost their
holds, and were seen rolling and tumbling
down the hill-side, bonnets smashed, clothes
torn, postures ridiculous, Ac, Ac, and no
one hurt. Then corameuced a scene of the
most violent and long continued laughter,
and which, being young people well acquaint
ed with each other, and in the woods, they
indulged to a perfect surfeit. They roared
out with merry peal on peal of spontaueons
laughter ; they expressed it by hooting and
hollooing when ordinary langhter became
insufficient to express the merriment they
felt at their ridieulous situations and those
of their mates ; and ever afterward the bare
mention of the crow scene, occasioned re
newed and irrepresible laughter.
Years after one of their number fell sick,
been me so low that she could not speak, and
was about breathing her last.
Our inft rmant called to see her, gave his
name and tried to make himself recognized,
but failed till he mentioned the crow's nest,
at which she recognized him and began to
larigh, and continue! every little while re
newing it ; from that time she began to
mend, recovered, and still lives a memento
of the laugh cure. 1 1 'tstmin ster Jterieie.
What Mr. Choate sats of the Demo
cratic Partt. Mr. Choate thus eulogizes
the Democratic party.
" There never was an election cantcst that,
in denouncing the particulars of its policy, 1
did not admit that the characteristic of the
Democratic party was this : That it had
burned ever with that great master passion
this hour demands ; a youthful, vehement,
exultant, and progressive nationality.
Through some errors, into some perils it has
been led by it ; it may be so again ; we may
require to temper and restrain it ; but to
day we need it all, we need it all ! the
hopes the boasts the pride the nniversal
tolerance the gay aud festive defiance of
foreign dictation the flag the music all
the emotions all the traits all the ener
gies, that have won their victories of war,
and their miracles of national advance
ment the country needs them all now to
win a victory of peace. That done, I will
pass again, happy ami content, into that
minority of conservatism in which I have
passed my life."
Petrifif.o Rf.maixs. An instance of the
petrifaction of the remains of a child was
developed a day or two since Six years
jgo a child belonging to S. Van Rensselaer
died, and was placed in a private burying
ground in the city, aud upon removing it a
day or two since, for the purpose of deposit
ing it in the Cemetery, the coffiu was found
to be remarkably heavy. Upon opening it
the body was found to be petrified. The
petrifaction was perfect, except the head,
which has fal!len in, and there was a crack
extending across the center of the body,
about one quarter of an inch iu width.

En'gi.isii Bacon. The superiority of Eng
lish bacon is noticed by travelers. It is be
lieved to lie wholly owing to their mode of
cure, for which the following is the York
shire recipe :
' As soon as the bacon comes from the
bntcher'8 hands it should have a covering of
salt, dried and rolled to a fine powder, well
rubbed in with the hand to every part, using
the finger to fill every hole and joint, as it
is most important that the meat should take
the salt when quite fresh. In twelve hours
nil the brine and damp salt not absorbed
should be scraped off the bacon and remov
ed from the vessel and dry salt added again,
as much as is needed to cover it, as before,
and well rubbed in. This process should be
repeated every twelve hours for three days,
when saltpetre should be added, getting off
previously all the damp salt and brine as
before, and applying the saltpetre as the
common salt, adding a handful of the latter.
A quarter of a pound of saltpetre to a side
of bacon weighing seventy pounds is suffi
cient ; then mix oue pound of coarse browu
sugar and one pound of treacle or molasses,
aud pour over the saltpetre on the bacon,
adding a little more common salt daily for
three days, which serves to make the pickle
keep well, and the whole liquor should be
lcdled with a teacup over the bacon as often
as convenient, four times a day for the first
two weeks after it was first put to tbe ba
con, aud then never less than twice a day
for the remainder of the time needed for its
pickling, which is four weeks, or longer if
large bacon, and then it should be sent to
the drying bouses and smoked over a wood
fire.
The incapacity of men to understand
each other is one of the principal causes of
their ill-temper towards each other.
