not that bitter enemy on earth whom we would
sentence to change places with Mr. Wise, had
we the power. We do not see how he can be

where it exists and thoe in which it it consid

organization; it pervades the fireside ; it enters
into every relation humiri beings bear to each

bines, like the Turk with his harem, can never
preserve anything like social harmony or com
mon interest with a christian community. It
is impossible to assimilate States where bigamy

which it is recognised and practiced.
If there were no other objection to the intro
duction of this incongruous element into our
system, the invariable aud inevitable con se
quences it produces would be sufficient. Wher
ever it has prevailed it has caused the degra
dation of woman, and the degradation of woman
is the sure precursor of that of man. Among
the pati'archs women were mere household

Puns on people's names are the pastime of

I set down to the invention of the would be
v. itty, rather than to the facts of actual histofy.
Thus it is very doubtful whether the good dea
on in this story ever had an existence except
ia the brain of the punster. Iln had lost his
wife, and waa consoling himself by very private
but particular attention to Patience Pierson, a
smart young woman in the parish. One day
he was bewailing his loss in the ear of bis kind
pastor, of whose sympathy he waa very sure,
and the minister said to him, in a tone of deep
cundolenee :
" Well, my dear friend, I cannot help you ;
you had belter try and have patience " What
more he would have said ibe deacon did not
wait to hear; but thinking the minister had
found out his secret, he put in : " Yes, Sir, I
have been trying to get her, but she oeems to
he rather shy "
The following rets on no better authority :
"Mr. William Payne, a very good fellow,
was a teacher of music, in a pleasant town in
Massachusetts, and in his school, one winter.
was a pretty girl, some twenty years old, na
med Patience Adams, who having made a strong
impression upon Mr. Payne, he lot no time iu
declaring his attachment, which Miss A. reci
p-ocated, and an engagement was the result.
Jjst as Mr. P.'s attention became public, and
the fact of an engagement was geKsrally, un
derstood, the school being still in continuance,
a id all the parties on a certain evening being
present, Mr. Payne, without any thought of the
words, named as a tune for the commencing
exercise 'Federal Street,' in that excellent col
lection of church music, 'The Carolina Sacra.'
Every one loved Patience, and every one enter
Mined the highest respect for Payne ; and with
a hearty good will 00 the part of all the school
tie chorus commenced :
See gentle Patience smile on Pain,
8c dying hope revive again.'
"The coincidence was so striking, that the
gravity of the young ladies and gentlemen could
si aroely be restrained long enough to get
through the tune. The beautiful young lady
was still more charming with her blushing
cheeks and modestly cast-down eyes, while the
teacher was so exceedingly embarrassed be
knew not wbat he did. Hastily turning over
the leaves of the book, bis eye lit upon a well
known tune, and he called out ' Dundee.' The
eong began as soon aa sufficient order could be
r stored, and at the last lioe of the following
at ansa rote to a climax :
Lt not despair nor fell revengn
to my bosom known ;
Ou, give mo tears for others' woe.
And Patience lor my own.'
' Patience was already betrothed ; eba was
in fact his ; in about a year afterward thy be
came man and wife :
Then gentle Patience snuk d 011 Payne,
And l'aynt hd Patience for his owu.' "

A Rars Fish. The New Haven Register
gives the following account of a curious variety
of fish, a specimen of which was recently
caught upon the "East Uaveu shore ":
" It is known by the name of " Lump Fish,"
or Lump Sucker." It is about a foot long ;
ite height is about one-half its length, and its
thickness about half iu height. Instead of
the rotund form which marks the usual outlines
of fishes, it is made up of angular faces, and
weighs nearly two pounds. It is without scales,
but the skin is studded with bard rough granu
lations, which to the touch resembles a tile.
On -the under side, immediately, cf the head,
aud between the front fins, is a aish formed of
cartilaginous plates, by which the animal at
taches itself to other substances, by suction.
This curious property enables this fish to re
main and Cud its food in situations where everv
. ! . ,9, . . .
' uer species would be swept away by the velo
:y of the current. It sometimes attach it
lf to the bottoms of vessels, and the ancients
invested it with the imaginary power of instant
ly arresting the course of the swiftest vessels.
i .. iu ao to avail ttseit ot ibe more rapid ; eye lashes are a very advsatageous ambuscade
motion of other fishes by attaching itself, by j for the archery of kiliing glances. Besides, there
its suction and being borne along without any ! are a few things more unnnatural than a motion

vWhen the history of tbejpresent European

Who went as a ministering angel to assuage the
horrors Of the battle field and relieve -the suf
ferings: of. the 'wounded, sick and dying. We
take pleasure in re-producing from the Tribune,
a deserved tribute to this model of her sex, who
as our cotemporary truly observes, when she
went to the East entered on a field which might
appall the bravest. Iw horrors have been lately
told before the Committee t' the House of Cum
mons. In close rooms, not fitted to contain
half the numbers they were tnmle tu acconi nut
date, were piled together men toul with 6lth
and disease, or groaning with ghastly wound.
Tbey lay there among rorpses that uiaJe the
. . . 1 1..
that made the!
air pestnerous. iNo neaa tj airtot, 110 u.ih.i i
minister, no medicine to heal. The living had
to linger with the dead, putrefying and waiting
for burial, while ueles formalities went their
slow and callous round. Tne bewildered offi
cials even left this load of horror, like come
plague-Htricken ship, to float and drift at wiit.
The picture of the plague in Tuucydides does
n-it surpass in horror that drawn by Dr. An
drews of ins own cbarnel-hqut-e at Mcrutari.
To bring relief out of such misery, cleaiiliue.iS
out of euch filth, order out of kucIi chaos, life
out of such death, was u tak which rniht try
the fctrongest head and firmest nature. To per
form that ofiioe it needed a lofty soul to inspire,
a noble iutelleot to conceivo, gentle sweetnecH
to soften, comprehensiveness ol mind to con-
trol, elasticity of genius t' direct, strength of j
will and intrepidity of ohara'er, indeed, a'.l the (
round of executive human virtues. They hate .
all appeared, and where man failed, true U o- j

"th hproinn of the K-iat." and bhvs it
learns from authentic sources that stie owed to
her mother much of the refined Hensibility, that
d en love of her kind and sacrifice to nave them
which form the basis of her character. The
seat of her family lies in one of those rich
vales of Ilampshne whone peaceful beauties
the engine has not yet Boiled with its fiery
breath. Among the simple people of the region
her name is treasured as a household word.
In person b-' frail and delicate, and at times
a strange shade of sadness hangs over her pale,
thoughtful f.tr-e; but when it lights up it is full
of sweet vivacity. For severar seasons Mis6
Nightingale mingled in the brilliant gaieties of
London life, and though not physically beauti
ful he possessed that indefinable spiritual grace
which lends 11 far more attractive charm. But
she proved her heart, like Solomon, in mirth,
and found it vanity. Entering as a novice in
some o the hospitals of the Continent, she took
nt the bed-side of suffering her degree in the
higher science of humanity. Not even the
most delicate scruples of gentle reserve and
graceful dread of notoriety could trammel the
determination of such a woman, when called to
that position which has now made her famous
throughout the world. Duty summoned her,
:tnd spite of all difficulty and opposition she
went to Constantinople. This noble woman
does not stand alone. She has many sisters
who travel in the same path unseen. For one
Florence Nightingale whose name opportunity
has made a public possession, there are hun
dreds in every rank of life whose sacrifice aud
r-elf denial are known only to the angel who
marks them in bright record above. But it is
well that one should now and then thus be
brought forward from her seclusion. It enno
bles man, inspires Woman and opens the gate
way to a brighter age. It is especially well, be
cause, great as the benefaction is to man, the
per vice it renders to Woman, in showing of what
she is capable, is of still greater magnitude.
Florence Nightingale has shown for how much
higher and nobler things than the world has
been wont to imagine Woman is endowed.
Hers was not a mission of simple benevolence,
like that of the beautiful Sceur de Chaiite, or
.iiher benevolently devoted women. It was not
only a mission to distribute, but a mission to
originate, organixe, develop, restrain, eucour-
ige, superintend and direct. A distribution of
charity requires only goodness of heart, but to
originate atd direct it the highest qualities of
intellect and character are requisite. Obstacles
must be overcome by perseverance, s'ubborn
liuss softened by kindness, frivolity rebuked by
gravity

; i c rreepondent of the Saw York Sun, writing

, 3 wounded Frenchman, an opinion with regard
; that which is felt by the soldier in time of

I "before the battle begins, it is usual to feel
no little tremor, anc many cheeks, which are
known to be in communication with stout
hearts, blanch visibly. As the conflict becomes
imminent, courage returns, and with the first
i'.ow of blond an enthusiasm is raised which
j constantly increases and very seldom flags in
: the least until the last shot is fired. The effect
cf seeing a comrade shot down is generally to
; excite an inappeasable thirst for vengeance a
gainst the foe, though in the end one "gets
uted to it." When wounded less than mortal
ly, it is not usual for the soldier to be imme
diately aware of the fact, unless some bones are
broken. A sabre may be run through any
fleshly part of the body, and even a bullet lodge
in dangerous proximity to the vitals, and he,
for a long time, be totally unconscious of even
a scratch. When life is taken by a single blow,
the effect varies with the nature of the wound,
as well as with the temperament of the man.
Sometimes the poor fellow will leap high in air,
giving a piercing scream, and again he will lie
down quietly. Oftener, however, be simply
falls dead without a struggle. In most cases
the features of the killed remain unchanged for
a long time after death eyes open and brilliant,
and, perchance, a smile illuminating the face.
To see such an one it is difficult indeed to re
alize the presence of the grim monster, Death."
Renewed Fashion tor Ladies. Quite a
grave essay is given in the latest report of the
Fashions, (from the moBt authentic Parisian
oracle,) upon the revival of the rage fur em
broidery by ladies. The writer justifies its re
adoption by quoting the mention of it by Moses
and Homer, to show its antiquity, and he then
gees on to give reasons why it is particularly a
lady-like and feminine occupation. The belles
of Paris are now seated at their embroidery
frames to receive morning calls; and their
graces of person in the attitudes of occupation,
as well as their additional opportunity for show
iug the beauty of hands and arms to advantage,
are much dwelt upon. The admirer conquers
a rival, of course, whenever he gets a sudden
look of the busy eyes turned from the engross

judgment upon the actions of ministers and
Parliament and pries into the nature and work
ings of the machinery of government. A late
numb 'rnf the Westminster Review contains a
remarkable article, being nothing less than an
ably drawn comparison of the prominent char
acteristics of the political institutions of Eng
land with those of our own country, and which,
after deducing conclusions favorable to the Un
ited States, suggests many instances where our
example might be profitably followed by the
people of the mother land. The following con
cession is significant, and. we scarcely know
which most we admire, its candor or its indepen
denca. The writer says it is no longer Eng
land, but the "Xorth American Republic, that is
the pole star to which from all sides the eye of
struggling nations turns a republic where
there is freedom indeed where every indus
trious man is above the anxieties of want, where
every intelligent man may become educated and
refined, where every man of high powers may
rise into office, and where all may enjoy the
fullest personal democratic liberty." The "mis
takes made by the government in the conduct
of the war have led the people to think and feel
this way, and if a corresponding action upen
their part does not ensue, it will be a strange
exception to the rule predicated upon the rela
tion between canse and effect." Balt.Jlmcr.
CELESTIAL IMMIGRATION.
In the half million busy beings, American,
Irish, German. French aud African, who bustle
through the dust and mud of this huge City,
and who occupy more or less the attention of
our beneficent Mayor, there are some 1,500 or
1,900 natives of the Central Land, the Flowery
Land, Celestials in short, not to put too fine a
point upon it, Chinamen. There may be China
women, but we never saw any except the prima
donna of the unfortunate operatic triumph.
Apparently these poor fellows are of no im
portance ; in reality, they are, and may as well
be looked after now as later. They do well
here in their way, and consequently invite ac
cession to their numbers. Two or three fresh
ones arrive every day ; by and by it will be
two or three hundred or thousand a day, until
the City may be as foil of oblong-eyed, pig-tailed
Celestials as it is at present of wide-mouthed,
pug-nosed Hibernians and the square-skulled
sons of Hormaun.
Such an advent should be checked in time
indeed, to borrow a figure of speech from Tip
perary, it ought to be put a stop to before it be
gins for your Chinaman is the most worthless
citizen possible. He brings, for the most part,
hi? baggy trousers and shirt along with him,

dutrial calling, but he sella stale candy aud

i upon Broadway's Sunday side walk, and col-
lects quarters and sixpences in his flat, tufted
hat.
The males of thia class are notoriously idle io
their own country. They are worse when they
come hsre, and the women, if we may judge by
California newspapers, would quickly reduce
Polioe Captain Carpenter to a shadow, with de
spair. They will not work unless treated as
they are at the guano islands, and the public
works in Havana, as slaves. They cannot be
so treated here, and there would therefore be no
remedy for their laainess. They are not even
beneficial to the landlords, for they flock to
gether like pigeons, as the reader may see for
himself, in Cherry-street or Gold street. .
Now an immigration of people who add
nothing to the industry of the country, who de
tract from its morality, who consume almost
nothing of its products, who scarcely aid its
house-owners, who make poor sailors and no
soldiers at all, yet who accumulate and carry
ofTitsgold and silver, is worthy of the attention
of the authorities whom it concerns, before it
increases, as it threatens to do, to an alarming
extent. N. Y. Times.
"Mind your stops" is a good rule in writing
as well as in riding. So in public speaking, it
is a great thing to know when to stop and where
to stop. The third edition of a treatise on Eng
lish punctuation, has been recently published,
with all needful rules for writers, but none for
speakers. The author furnishes the following
example of the unintelligible, produced by the
want of pauses in the right places :
" Every lady in this land
Hath twenty nails upon each hand ;
Five and twenty on hands and feet.
And this is true, without deceit."
If the present points be removed, and others
inserted, the true meaning of the passage will
at once appear :
" Every lady in this land
Hath twenty nails: upon each hand
Five ; and twenty on hands and feet.
And this is true without deceit."

of the organ the notes speak the instant the keys
are touched, and wiq admit of the performance of
as rapid passages as the piano. The pedal on the
right supplies the wind, an i works so easily that
a child can manage it without auy exertion. The
bellows (which is something entirely new and for
which a patent was granted in December, 164y, )
ie a reversed or exhaustion bellows and it is this
in a measure which produces the peculiar tone.
The volume of tone is equal to that bf a small
organ, and by menus of the swell may be increas
ed or diminished at the pleasure of the performer;
it is sufficiently loud for small churahes, and is
well calculateu for a parlor instrument. Hundreds
have examined them, and. all. have been loud in
their praise ; and the best evidence of. their merit
is their rapid sale. " But it is a new instrument a
new invention and is yef ratTittlckhown in the
musical world, and it is for this reason that we call
to it the attention of all lovers of music, believ
ing that there are thousands who would lose no time
in securing one, were they a ware of the existence
of such an instrument, and the low price at which
it could be obtained. .

Mr. Geo. P. Rbkd, No. 17 Tremont Row, Boston,

Dear Sia At your request, I have examined
one of the Melodeons " manufactured by Messrs.
Geo. A. Prince & Co., of Buffalo:" I think them
in all respects equal and in Some respects supe
rior to any others of similar kind which I have
seen, and in particular with respect to quality of
tone and promptness of touch, or action of the
reeds by which quick passage may be performed
with certain and distinct articulation of tone. An
instrument of this kind is the best substitute for
an organ, in church music, with which I am ac
quainted. Lowell Masox.

Duringthe past three years, we have fiuiahed over

odeons have attained has induced nearly every
music dealer in the United Stated und Canada to
apply for the agency ; but. as we make but one
Agent in each city or town,' many are necessarily
disappointed. The result has been that our Name
Plate has been put upon Melodeous which were not
manufactured by us ; and again, (in a few instances
wchch have come to our knowledge) dealers, who
have been unable to obtain our instruments, have
iacepted the agency of some other manufacturer
keeping one of our instruments which had purpotily
been put out of tune, and in bad order, as a foil to the
inferior article, they offered to the public. For
these reasons we caution these who wish to satiMy
themselves of the merits of our Melodeons to ex
amine those only which are offered by our Agents
or those who deal exclusively in our instruments.
Man improvements applied are exclusively our own
and being the original manufacturers, our experi
ence has enabled us to produce instruments which
a dipcerning public have pronounced superior to
anything of the kind hitherto manufactured. Many
