SETTLING PROPERTY ON A WIFE.
BY HENRY WARD 'BEECHER. '! I
When men are prosperous, and are
making money, and consider them
selves rich, 1 wonder that it so seldom
comes home to them that thev are
liable to reverses, Which shall plunge
tneir iamiiies into tne utmost pecun
iary distress. Men know that busi
nes is subject to fluctuations and tliat
nothing ! is more frequent than that
men should in one year have all the
comforts and advantages of wealth, and
the next year be stripped bare. Bui
a vicious hopefulness. prevents -thdm
from relizuig that they shall ever be
subject to this fate which befalls eth
ers. -:' i " ' - '11'
Some persons have questioned
whether'a scrupulous honesty would
allow one, to hold back from creditors
any part of a husband's property. A
settlement ' of! property on another,
while debt hangs over it, either for
the sake of avoiding payment of 'debt,!
or of securing the family, would be
fraudulent, dishonesty and wicked.!
But if while clear of debt, a husband
settles property on i his wife for the
justmaintainance of herself and child
ren, his alter debts have no more
claim upon that property than if he
had sold or transferred it to a neigh br
instead of his own iwife; No man has
a right to leave a family whom he bias
accustomed to affluence iiable to wait
ing poverty. A provision "made be-
limes in property, ior tne saiety ol
his family iu case of his death or bank
ruptcy, mav be accepted and employ
ed by the most sensitive conscience,
I write strongly on thisj subject, be
cause I have seen so touch distress
arrising from the want of this prepre
caution. ! I

When meat pressed by the finger rises

visible, the animal had probably pass

THE USE OF SAXON WORDS-
It is well known that tne English
language has received many words of
latin origin, as the result of the Nor
man conquest in lOo'G, and through
the cultivation of Latin classics'. What
our language would have been with
out the use of words thus introduced, is
a enrious problem. Dean Trench sug
gests that, confining ourselves to the
use of pure, Saxon words, we might
have said sand-waste for 'desert; blood
bath',for masacre; sin-flood for deluge;
sea-robber, for pirate; water-fright,
for hydrophobia; show-holiness, hy
pocracy; goldjhoard, Ton treasurer;
well-willingness, for benevolence; nn-
deadliness, for immortility; u'ntellable,
for ineffable; great-doingly, for mag-
for facinate; j engripe, for embrace;
ear-shrift for auricular confession; dip
per, for Baptist, etc.
Those familiar with the German
language will notice that the Saxon
elements, having but little outside in
fluence to prevent their r natural expan
sion in tnat I language, have taken
nearly the I form suggested above.
Thus we have finger-hat for thimble;
room man for carpenter; cutter, 'for
tailor; (our word tailor means a cut
ter, from the French tailler. to cut);
cloth-dealer, for draper; foot-folk, for
infantry; riders, for cayaljy.
And it is auothcr fact noticeable iu
this connection, that there are a Targe
class of words in which we do now
use Saxon compounds, instead of bor
rowed ivords, that are tb common ears
purely conventional and m.eauingless.
We give a few among the many:
Music-teacher, book-binder, writing
desk, book -case, wMch-pocket, ink
stand, pin-cushion, gold-smith, 'watch
maker, paper-dealer qtc. Why could
we not say ciom-aeaiier as wen as
paper dealer? . The merest tyro in our
language would know readily the
meaning of j cloth-dealer: while we
presume: therejare millions who speak
the English language,! who could not
telLwhether a diaper dealt in cloth or
iron, or lumber; not ever having seen
the French word drap? So silk-deal
er is expressive and kufliciehtly ele
gant; but mercer mfrcy ! a scholar
could scarcely remember it. unless
richer than jcholars are apt to be.
Scarcity of Grain in Russia, j
Letters from the Baltic ports con
tain the very isnportaht news that the
Russian Government! has entered the
grain markets ;of Germany as a pyr
chaser of cereals. As Russia is one
of. the largest grain-supplying coun
tries in the world, lurnishing Lngland
more than that country obtains from
all other sources, including. the United
States, its appearance as the purchaser
of grairj is the mbre extraordinary. It
is not, ill ov ever, inorecedented. Last
year the Russians were also compelled
to buy grain in the central European
marKets.
This exceptional 'condition of affairs
cannot be attributed to defective bar!-
vests or short crops. So far as these
,1 ' c.
were conctrneu
tne last couple , of
Russian harvests
were all that could
L t '- is
be desired. Bu
tne trouble arises
from the emancipation of the peasan
try. The population I having been
rendered independent, proprietors no
longer wort on the great estates, the
surplus produce of which rendered
Russia the granary of Eurouc. The
number of these proprietors is rapidly
increasing under the land laws, aud
these persons, now their own masters,
cultivate only enough corn lor the sup
ply of their on personal wants, and
frequently notj even enough I The
consequencewis that the area or grain
sown in Russia is gradually de:cieas
iug. Provinces which! fornieily ex

WORDS OF WASHING ttOM A GREAT
MAN I ' v
Hon. Alex. II. Stephens, in
reply
to a paper from Hon. S. S. Nichols, of
Kentucky, treating of the rebellion
and its causes, closes a letter., to. ; the
National Intelligencer ' with I these
words. They may hardly ; be bailed
prophetic, because the shadow ojfi-on-sblidated;
empire has already touched
the skirts of this unhappy land: I i J
The Federal machinery for the last
ten years has been abnormal in its , ac
tion.! It must be brought back to the
Jeffersonian doctrines, and made to
conform in its workings with the or
ganic principles of its structure be
fore there can possibly be a return of
the days of peace, harmony, prosperii
ty and happiness which formerly maik
ed out our course.. There is no other
hope for constitutional liberty on this
continent. Judge Nichols may "dream
dreams" about another1 constitutional
amendment

lies in no such
simply in bringing: back the Govern
ment in its administration to original
first principles., This is to be lone
uot by secession, however rightful
and efficient a remedy that might be.
That js abandoned. Nor is it tb be
done by force or violence of any kind,
except the Iforce of reason and the
power of truth. It is more generally
lost than established, or strengthened
by a resort to physical force. Thev
are eminently ine acnievment oi vir

tion, 44 Whither are we drifting?'7
To this question I take the occasoion
for one to give you a direct and positive
answer. We are druting to consoli
dalion and empire, and will land there
at no distant period, as certainly as Ui
sun will set this day,, unless the peb
pie of the several Stat s awake to
a proper appreciation of the danger,
- ,
and svh themselves friimthe.5irtnnd
from the impend-
ing catastrophe by arresting thtpresent
tendency of public affairs. Thialhey
can propeily db only at theballot box.
All friends of constitutional libertv
in every section and otate, must unite
in this grand effort. They must seri
ously consider and even reconsider
many questions! tb'which they have
ffiven out sugut attention neretoiore.
iit must acquaint themselves with
tlie principles ot - their Government,
and provide security lor the luture by
studying and correcting the errors of
the past.
This is the only hope, as I have
stated, for the Continuance of even our
present nominal form of government.
Depend lipon it, there is no difference"
between consolidation and empire 1
ISo diilerence Detween centralism im
perialism 1 The end of either, as well
as of these, is the overthrow of liberty
and the elBtablishment of despotism. I
give you the words of truth in j great

received or heeded now, will be eter
nally tru,e by the developments of the

The
Baron tested a titmouse upon some
rose bushes of a neighbor, which it
ridded in a few hours of innumerable
lice. A rpbin-redbreafet in the same
neighborhood killed jpight hundred
flies in an hour. 'A pair of uight-swal-
lows destroyed in fifteen minutes an
immense swarm of gnats. A pair of
wrens flew thirty-six times in au hour
with insects in 1 their jlbills, to their
nests. ' He considers the sparrow very

Hens Eating Thkir Eoos. Hens r
often acquire the habit .of eating their
own egga and the egg's of their com -
panions. xxotning teacnes mis naoic
to fowls more rapidly than allowing
them, to eat their egg-shells. Arid yet
many ; persons are in? the habit of
throwing all the egg-kells into the
coop. If you wish.toWve the hells '
as food for your hens, the best 'plan U
to dry them and crush1 them to pow
der. They can thenbe mixed with
mush or cooked meal, and, so fed.
Where hens have access to abundant
8appiie8 of lime there is not so much
danger ot their attempting to eat their
eggs, and there is less! necessity for
saving the egg-shells. (But under any
circumstances we think jit is a bad
plan to throw egg-shells' in large pieces
to fowls, especially if Jthey are con
fined in small coo pa. ' Some fowls, it
is true, cannot be taught to eat eggs,
hut then there are others that learn
this bad habit with wonderful facility.
A liquid clue, far superior to mucil
age, may be made by dissolving glue
in an equal quantity of ftronghot vin

little alum. This will keep any length

and will fasten horn, wood and mutlj-er-of-pearl.
