There is a beautiful I legend illustrating the blessedness of performing our duty, at whatever cost to our own inclinations.

The hour arrived at which he was to . feed the poor at the con vent. s He lingered not; in his pell to enjoy the vision, but left to perform his humble duty.

Thus, the Sentinel has repeatedly charged the Superintendent of Public In- trjotion wUh isappropriatins s6h,l funds, when th tact is money does not pass through his hands, and is only paid to County Treasurers, by the State Treasurer, on requisition from Mr. A.,- and only ac cording to law.

' ' n ' A man was killed5 in Washington, last weekj says the Express, by jabbing himself in the eye with an umbrella ! He was in toxicated, and hai a. queer idea that his umbrella was a telescope ; so, while he was endeavoring to examine the solar svstem rouh it, he fell over and the umbrella killed hitn. There is onlv on ) physician in Washington, whose learning is extensive. When; the coroner held the inoucst the ctor said that "the ferruginous termina tion of the umbrella was projected by the dextet hand of the corpse through the optic nerve, into the cavity ; of the cerebellum, whence, glancing transversely to the " epig lottis,! it pierced the pericardium and caused a cataplasm otgthe larynx ; and this producing asphyxia as a natural result, clotted blood poured into the tympanum. the lobe of , the brain became irritated and suppression f the vital" forces ensued !" When the jury heard this they boiled over witu indignation, ana tne . ioreman said that, if it was true, it was one of the greatest outrages ever perpetrated against a citizen of a free country. He said no man had a right to sell an umbrella with one of those things on it, especially to a man who was afflicted with such horrible diseases. The relatives of the deceased have sued the doctor for libel, and they say they want the report contradicted be cause people may think they are hereditary and will refuse to marry into the family. Economy in a Family. There is no thing I which goes so far towards placing the young people beyond the reach of pov erty as economy in the ; management of household affairs. It matters not whether a man furpishes little or much for his fami ly, if there is a continual leakage in his kitchen or parlor j it runs away, he knows not how, and that demon Waste cries, "More !" like the horse-leech's daughter, until he that provided has no more to give. It is the husband's place to bring into the house, and it is the duty of the wife to see that nbne goes wrongfully out of it. A man gets a wife to look after his affairs, and assist him in his journey through life; to educate and prepare their children for a proper station in lite, arid not to dissipate his property. The husband's interest should be the wiie's care, and her greatest ambition to carry her no further than its welfare or 1 happiness, logeiuer wuu mac of her chil- aren. ims suouia uc uer sole aim,; ana m 1 lit the theatre of her exploits in the boscm of her family, where she may do ss much to ward maKing a fortune us ue can in a counting-house or work-shop. 7 . It is not the money earned that makes a man wealthy it is what he saves from his earnings. Self gratification, in dress, or in appetite, or more company than his purse can well entertain, are equally pernicious. The first adds vanity to extravagance, the second ; fastens a ' doctor's hill to a long butcher's account, and the latter brings in temperance, the worst of all evils. .Truths for Wives. In domestic happi ness the wife's influence is muGh greater than her husband's;' 'for the one, the first cause mutual love and confidence being granted, the whole household depends upon trifles more immediately under her juris diction. s,By her" management of small sums her husband's respectability and) cred it are created or destroyed 3 N fortune can stand the constant leakage of extrava gance and L mismanagement, andj more is spent in' trifles than &7 woman would easily believe. ; Tlie one great expense, whatever it way be is turned 'over and reflected on, ere ' incurred ; 7 the income is prepared to meet it ; but it is pennies imperceptibly sliding away which do J the miscUief, arid does not come-within a man's province. " There isbften?an nnsQspecteJ trifle to' be saved in every "household. ; It is nbi! in economy alone that the wife's attention is necessary, but in those niceties which make a well .regulated hbule.'

And women live so entirely in the affections, that, without love, their existence; is void. Better submit, then, to household tact, however repugnant it may be to your tastes, than doom yourself to a loveless home. Women of a high order of mind will not run this risk ; they know their feminine, their domestic, are their first duties. New; Arrival. Cheap business cards at the POST PRINTING OFFICE.
