It is the tempter which labors incessantly to destroy your peace, which cheats you with an evil delusion that your hus bands deserved your anger, when he really most rcijuired your love. It is the cancer which feeds on tho.se unspeakable emotions you felt on the first pressure of his han.l and lip. Never forget the manner in which the duties of that calling can alone be fulfilled. If your husband is hasty, your example ot patience will chide as well as teach him. \ our violence may alienate his heart, and jwur neglect impel him to desperation.

They then commenced the work of torturing them to death, cutting of their breasts, tiug-.rs, and noses, and leaving them to die. One lady was three days dying. They flayed the face of ariuther lady and made her walk naked throuL'h the street. I’oor Mrs. , the wife of an officer of the regi ment at .^Ieerut, was soon expecting her ticcouch- ment. They violated her, then ripped her up, and, taking from her the unborn child, cast it and her int.i the flames. “No Huro])caJi man, wuinati, or child has had the slightest mcr.'y shown them. I do not be lieve that the world ever witnoscd more hellish torments than have been inflicted on our poor countrywomen. At Allahabad they have rivalled the atrocities of Delhi. I really cannot tell you the fearful cruelties the.se demons have ’oecn guilty of—cutting ofT the fingers and toes of little children, joint by joint, in sight of their parents, who were reserved fur similar treatment after wards. “I told you how gallantly our Madras fusileers —J ’b regimetit—have behaved; 100 men of them, under (’ol. Neill, killed (»’)'• mutineers. I saw a letter from one of the ollicers yesterday. He says that no imaginatiun can depict the sccncs he witnessed when he arrived at Benares. Ail the troops wore in a state of revolt. They saved Benares. The whole of the Bengal officers were paralyzed with terror and astonishment; so Col. Neill assumed command and proceeded to the most summary measures, cutting off whole regi ments. All the ladies were crowded into one room, with wounded and dying men, and from the sight that greeted his eye was a row of gal lowses, on which the energetic colonel was hanging mutineer after mutiueer, as they were brought in. “After restoring some little order at Benares, on went the gallant fusileers towards Allahabad; thermometer above lOC^, thirty and even forty mile marches; no supplies to be had; living ou flour and water. (hi reaching Allahabad at night the whole cantonment was in a blaze. The regi ments had already mutinied, and slaughtered their officers with unhcaial of cruelty. The Sikhs had not actually mutinied, but they assist ed the rebel regiments in pillaging the houses of the Europeans. The Sikh regiment plied the fatigued fusileers with liquor, and the scene of dirt, drunkeune.ss, and wretchedness bafHed all description. The officers of the fusileers went to the Sikh lines and bought up all the li.juor they could to prevent the men from getting it, and they bought chests of champagne, beer, &c., at four and eight annas (>d. and Is.) a bottle. Now I hear the indefatigable Col. Neill is beginning to bring about some degree of order, and is hang ing scores and scores of prisoners; but we get very little official tidings yet. I am longing to hear more; for I do not hesitate to affirm that .each day of delay places all our lives in some jeopardy. I know from the very best authority that the Mahomedans are plotting at this place; but whether they dare ri.se will depend ou how things go on in other places. “The events of the next three weeks will bo most momentous. At Madras the panic has been intense; I believe, too, that the fears are reasonable. We have at Bangalore a strong force, ! and the Madras Sopjys have hitheuo proved' loyal.

It is the very life-blood upon which society exists, moral as well as physical. Weaken it and dis trust supervenes, which spreads like an epidemic, fastening first upon one, and then upon another, until, comparatively speaking, devastation ensues. Those even in actual health, when a fearful mal ady is raging, take alarm, and from the very ap prehension, finally become diseased and die. The world’s good opinion is of vast importance. Oar social existence depends upon it. All who are emulous of succe.ss, wish to secure, maintain and deserve this public approbation. It is cruel, therefore, without just cause, from sheer thought lessness or want of caution, to interpose obstacles in the way of this confidence, which, when ouce shaken, is difficult to regain. The merest whi.'^per, though innocently or otherwise set afloat, tuay blast reputation, encroach upon innocence, wound virtue, and cause serious results. Too much im portance cannot, therefore, be given to the claims of our neighbors upon public confidence. ^ In a bu.siuess point of view it is all important Men have been accustomed to repose confidcua* in the world’s good opinion. It is, in fact, a p>rt and parcel of their capital—their stock in trade. The customs and usages of society have givtu them this endorsement, and otherwise, predicated thereon. How sacred then is confidence, and how scrupulously cautious should persons be to pr'’- serve it, not only with their neighbors but f t themselves.'* An inuendo or whisper mav b'‘ given out, against even the best institution, bank ing house, or mercantile firm, in times like the.'c, which, a.s it spreads from one to another, will increase, destroying confidence by degrees, untii very serious and disastrous results ensue, that might otherwise havejzasily been avoided. V\ e repeat, with the hope our advice may prove salutary, that too much caution cannot be observed in matters of this kind, especially in times Hko these, and under all circumstances. No credent- should be given to idle reports, whispering io' uendos, etc., against persons known as honorable and upright. It is quite time enough to chronicle misfortune when it comes. A very large portion of every business community is dependent upoi; general sentiment and confidence. It is our duty then to sustain rather than break it down. Baltimore Fatriot.
