2 LEGTDKE BY PBTBOiBUn V. NASBY. A Home Picture f<»r Husband* and Wives. On Monday evening, March 3d, at the Academy of Music, one of the largest au diences of the Star Course greeted Pe troleum V. Nasby, tb hear his lecture, a new one, on “Hannah Jane.” j Prior to the lecture the usual.concert was given by Mrs. - Caroline Richings Bernard, accompanied by M*. Prank Gi lder as pianist. Petroleum W Nasby, L (Mr. Locke, of the Toledo Blcuk) then ap peared and discoursed as follows: Hannah Jane was at one time a lady of 17 years. This is not remarkable, for I knew one who remained at 17 three years,~seven years at 20, and three years at 24 v anJ she remained at the latter age until a widower desired to have a wife of mature age. She then sprang with great rapidity to the mature age desired. The adage, “Time waits for no man,” is a mis take ; it should be time and tide wait for no wo man, which is an entirely different thing. [Laughter.] I am no admirer of female beauty. I have admired different things,but Hannah Jane was a remarkable creature; she had the form ot a Venus, the suppleness of the most thrilling description. Petroleum said that she was one fur whom one might endure—might endure—endure even a mother-in-law. But the smile of a pretty girl is nothing |f sheds in the arms of an other fellow. The proof of Hannah Jane's beauty was that all the men adored her, and all the other girls haled her. The latter could not see what the attrac tion was, she was, after all, the matri monial salvation of all the girls in the neighborhood. She lighted the fires of love in all the young men’s hearts, and not getting Hannah Jane, they consented to *ake somebody else. J. Pendleton Smith was a party in love with Hannah Jane, and when she reject ed him he did not hang himself—not a bit of lt! He made love to all the other girls, until he met a woman who had been 37 for thirty years, and the woman boasted after marriage that the artfn) creature had' attempted to get her hus band, but she thanked God that he wanted something besides a pretty face, and it was altogether likely that he got it. It was not necessary for Hannah Jane to have any education —her beauty would get a husband, that was all that was need ed. A girl with a husband is settled, and the most of them are most effectually set tled. She spelled kiss with one s, and dear with a double e without any n. She preferre'Mhe Independent in its old form, and had a great affection for papers the size of the Public Ledger , though she read neither, hut her lover, Abner Merri weather, cared nothing for this He had nothing to support one on, but he at tempted to support two on the same thing. Her mouth, teeth, eyes, and hair were put in opposition to all things al leged against her. But he said, “What will support one, will support two.” Hor rible falaqvl f A« two pounds of beefsteak can be bought tor the price of one. Good health is necessa ry to love, and good health has a good ap petite, as most of us find out. ['Laughter.] Marriages were good things, except in the case of George Francis Train and Sylva nus Cobb, Jr., and anything that produc cd snch plagues should be frowned down with the greatest severity. [Laughter) Hannah Jane and Merriweathcr were in love. They had the usual wedding ; the usual wedding gifts were given. As they couldn’t be expected to drink wine for some time, wine glasses were plenty ; as they could not live in good style silver ware was in the ascendant. [Laughter.] Bat Hannah Jane was armed for the struggle of life, and she traded the whole lot off tor a kitchen stove and a sewing rnichinc, and was happy: and she did not buy any second hand article, either. The only second-hand article I ever saw worth buying was a young widow with plenty of money, who did not grieve too much. [Laughter.] Merriweathcr was in the bair-oil age. He was addicted to the use of the tooth brush, but he was a greater imitator of Beethoven, with hair down his back ; if be bad had a chance be would have .been a Tilton, but heaven was merciful and refused to give the country two Tiltons, so his genius was turned in another direction. [Laughter.] Hannah Jane had faith that ter hus band would be a great man, and for this time was needed ; so she devoted her soul, body, spirit, and strength that he might law. She prepared her breakfast and called him affectionately. Sometimes he would compliment her, and kissing her Condescendingly be went to the office and spent the day in smoking the long pipe and playing games of chance with those, like himself, who were waiting for busi ness. [Laughter.] Hannah Jane was too busy to be exhausted, and only thought to save her husband from care and annoy ance. She knew ihe practice of a young law yer could mu be profitable at once, eo she made shins, and managed to furnish her husband with cigars and also to pro vide for the table. Business at last came. Lodges are bad ; clubs are worse—but bu siness swallows up more than cither or both, lie became so busy that he re mained mu most of the night, and when lie came home she would pity him that business exhausted him so much. His eyes became heavy and his feel tangled with each other, and any one else except a woman of this kind would have attrib uted it to some other cause. Law may ex bunst the bead, but it never does the ccs. leioa,ht him with her arm about bis neck to leave business and rest or it would kill him. At last he was brought home in a complete state of ex* haustion by a friend who was not so much exhausted, though it was a question for a year as to which brought the other home. He explained the next day that it must have been an attack of vertigo. [Laugh -ter.]' !'■ . " .... „' , The jjoke about “truly rural” arid “too ral iooral” was givbn, an 4 excited the laughter of the .audience hj' the comicali-. ty of its narrative. Hannah Jane was of diffe&nt material. He was' so wrapped up in himself that be Inst sight of the fact that she had the genius of a great-nature. She had never been taught and -he never taught her. He allowed her to load her self down umil it was Impossible that she should develop. He settled down to work, but be dissipated considerably, though not enough to disable him. At last business came—it was a murder trial—the jury was necessarily formed of born idiots, wfto never read any newspa pers, or fnrnied any opinion upon that or any other subject. The plea was emo motional insanity, and he won the case with all the brazeness of a lawyer of a century standing. It was more necessary than ever that economy should be prac* Used; conventions and political meetings were to be attended to, and this cost mon ey. A little Merriweather came, and add ed to the labors of Hannah Jane, and she labored for that other life which depend ed on hers. There was a little Abel in the cradle, and another in the field to bolster up. He was willing to let his wife have all the labor while be took the glory. While she rocked the cradle at home with her feet, and sewed with her fingers, and felt that it was the rock of ages, to her he was mounting up the ladder of fame. Hard labor is the relentless, merciless en emy of beauty. The beauty of Hannah Jane was fail ing ; her sylph-like figure shrunk up, and j she was metamorphosed ; but she was sat isfied. She said, “I have given all this to him, and he will love me more for the sacrifice.” At thirty-five Merriwealher was a judge; at forty a Representative 'with a national reputation. He bad made ,i a good living, but was not rich. He bad I consorted with the 1 best; he had read and I heard others read ; was bright, and recog -1 nized as such everywhere. I have al ! ways regretted that he did not live in our ! day of Credit Mobilier. But Hannah Jane i was not bright, and Mr. Merriwealher was astonished. She, if she had lived in these days, would have known nothing of Tilton or Mrs. Woodhnll. Deprivations are sometimes blessings, for a man with one leg reduces his ex penses one half in the price of boots and his chances for a cold and wet feel. [Laughter.] Mr, Merriweather was as tonished one evening tu know that she knew nothing of Humboldt's "Cosmos,” and he was horrified when she said that she knew nothing ol his "Cosmos,” hut had known a lady who took half jLjiozen wo —miemr, —atmr ■nruttcr hot done her any good. [Laughter,] In the face of all this, Mr. .Irlerriweath et began to forget the youth and beauty of the girl in the hard face of the woman, who at 40 bad no intellectual culture. Coolness followed, and then dislike. She was no equal for him, and with ail the love she bad expended on him, she bad with every act dug the grave of that very love. He sent her home, where he coaid not see her, and plunged into the delights of other female society. He said if he bad had a wife who would have been bis equal in culture he would have been happy. Hannah Jane took his excuses, and was satisfied while he was away from her. She and be were one, and Merriweather was the one. She had made a complete sac rifice of herself, and hoped that the mer its of it would atone for the practice ; she lavished beauty, health, and life, and felt happy while thinking that she had done so little. He thought at times of this sac rifice, and be sent her a plain ring, with the remark, “that the value of a ring was not in its intrinsic worth.” He had just presented a diamond set to an actress, and could not afford to send his wife anything more. The iron was slow in entering the soul n! Hannah Jane, but Merriweather broke her heart shortly. He made no scandal, but told her separation was a. necessity, and her death would be an accommoda tion. She was too old to bend, and she broke. Her children were ashamed that she was ignorant and coarse, and did not think' that she remained so that they might be what they were. Hannah Jane dte& at 42. The funeral was gorgeous, the day a beantiful one in August, and Mr. Merriweather was chief mourner and enjoyed the weather. A rattle of the clods upon the coffin and Hannah Jane was forgotten. No! not'forgotlen, for in that heaven and before that great God where pinchbeck and alloy are taken at their real value she received back the true gold with interest on the investment. Mr. Merriweather took No. 2, but he was defeated for Congress. His second wife knew all, about “Cosmos,” but occa sionally came down to new dresses from the intellectual field. He went into spec ulations, and Mrs. Merriweather had been more used to spending money than to saving money. The progress of crimination was given in detail, and at last the house became a hell on earth, and she left him, culture and all. Broken, 9ld, and without a helm, he went down, down, striking bottom at last as a life insurance agent. Then was Jane avenged. What was intended as a THE RADICAL; FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1813. Comedy when I began has developed in* to a tradegy. Hannah Janes am.cqiinted by the millions. I hive them dience before me. Whether women re* quires ahy more law I am not prepared tor has hot been so placed that stefcould be developed properly. I appeal (liat woman should be womanly in. ail that ia wdmanly and that is maiily man. l lSpnld have her strong anf reliant marching band; , not} dragging, but ]}| "have a yoke fitted to each, so tbafclhey may work together—not the head gold, and the feet clay, but all _gold. IjSottld have them so edutatted that ’ band will be proud ; of his wife ;.s>m% thing he could respect after he loved her. And this is therfirarstep-to the greatness of the nation, for as a mother of thepeoT pie are, so are the sods. I would give her intelligence and will strenglen her hands by strengthening her mind. Add this 1 believe is possible in the nine teenth centuiy. » ■•- The Sonny Home. I know aroom where sunshine always lingers, and there is a breath of snhimer and mignonette in the-'air whenever I think of it. There a tired man (dates home, and throws off overcoat and bat without looking to see what' 3 becomes of them. There is a broad. table in the light, strewn with papers and magazines) and women’s worbL with a litter OF rose haves dropping over them from a central vase. There is a wide sofa on the days of the Georges, fresh covered in chintz, with ferns and harebells for pattern, and the tired man goes-down-there with a great raffled pillow under .bis shoulder, opens parcels and letters, drdpping them when! through on the floor, the most natural place fox them: A girl has been and her water colors and paper lie on a side table, just as>she left them to nisb'j away for an impromptu ride. I have never been able to discover any disar rangement of the household . economy byj this flight. Somebody on a I chair. There will be nothing skid about it at the breakfast table next morning. There are no laws here against> playing with the certain tassel, no regulations as to bow often the snowny muslin curtains may be pat up or let down: They do not last the season out, crisp aiid speckless as j our neighbors do across the way, but tbej only consequence is they are oftener new and clean. There is nothing very fine about this house, but things are renewed oftener and look brighter than they do in statelier houses. The chairs have no par ticular places, and anybody feels at liberty to draw the sofa out when it pleases him There is no primness about the place. IF there is grass on the lawn, it is meant to be walked on, and the geraniums are fon dled, and petted, and caressed as if they were children. Do you know there is a magnetism in green leaves and growing flowers derived from the earth’s heart, that, makes it good to handle and '•feel - them. This house is known asth**^ I ***- where one darestd be late at breakfast. There is no ceremony of waiting. Coffee and cakes are put where they will be hoW the table is cleared to suit the housekeeper’s convenience, and a small one set for the late c user. Nobody lies awake at night till tbs light ceases to shine under your chamber-door, if you want to sit up and read yonr novel through. There is nu unwritten law of convenience for the household, that regulates everything bet ter than any code Napoleonic.' And the benefit of allowing people to be a law un to themselves is, that they are much bet ter natured about it when they do obey. There is indulgence and repose in this lovely home, and a great deal of time. for things which most' people cut. short, an hour’s play with the children, a ''right down good" chat with a neighbor, a day of letter-writting once a fortnight. And the worth of these merry, comforting let ters quite outweighs the fact that there are cigar ashes on the mantle, and a pile of work on the sofa. Disorder does not imply dust or soil of any kind. It does not include sbabhiness, or mean chaos< It means “leave to be”—in dost cases, thinking of people more than of things. Order is simply harmony of a few notes. Disorder is tho flowering, branching mel ody of one theme—and that scheme, indi viduality.— Shirley Dare in Golden Age. Mark Twain on Foster** Case. To the Editor of the Tribune: —Sir ; I have read the Foster petitions in Thors day’s Tribune. The lawyer’s opinions do not disturb me, becaUseJ know that those same gentleman coold make as able an argument in favor of Judas Iscariot, which is a great deal for me to say, for I never can think of Judas Iscariot without losing my temper. To my mind Judas Iscariot was nothing but a low, mean, premature Congressman. The attitude of the jury does not unsettle a body, I must admit; and it seems plain that they would have modified their verdict to murder in the second degree if the judge’s charge had permitted it. But when looms to the petitions of Foster’s friends and find out Foster’s true character, the gen erous tears will flow—l cm not help U. How easy it is to get a wrong impression on a man. I perceive that from child hood up this one has been a sweet, docile thing, full of pretty ways and gentle im pulses, the charm of the fireside, the ad miration of society, the idol of the Sun day-school. I realized in-bim the divin est nature that has ever glorified any mere human being. I perceive that the sentiment with which ho regarded teni pevacce was a thing that amounted to frantic adoration.

That saucy little symbol was ample enough to «> cover the mere intention of American citizen- ship when, in the port of Smyrna, one of the mildest-mannered of navy captains, e’eared his ship for action, in the face of largely superior force, and sheltered the poor Hungarian. It has been a very St. Peter’s angel to more than one of our countrymen in foreign dungeons. It sup ports consular authority over tyrannical ship masters and recalcitrant crews. It has saved tbe Feegeean “miccanninny” from being served up, hot or cold. It has let tbe blessed air of freedom into many a pent hole that reeked with cargo of piti able humanity—the “black ivory” African trade in iron shacklets. In for mer times it cleared out Southern lagoons and the Antilles of swarming buccaneers; to day it pursues to the death the China man with his sMnk-pots and nameless tortures. It restrains alike tbe barbarian and the civilized oppress©.-, by emblazon ing the grand morale of a great power backed by shotted guns. For not yet. even in these days of international arbi tration, has the millenium c<»rr.e, not yet are the battle fl igs furled in tbe federa tion of the world. A man-of-war ha? other duties subser vient to commerce. Thes; consist of ex plorations and surveys. They indicate ocean highways, secure the heaven, they trace the imperiled coast. Braving the lurking shoal, and the bold, loud reef, they fix, bo to speak, the form of Chary b dis, and save from the j iws of Scy 11a. The vessel anchors in an unknown bay or sound; we sound it until tbe plumet has stamped the depth, as it were, upon nearly every squire yard of the ocean floor. It is a noble field of usefulness,and falling thereupon, tbe world has wept for Cook and La Perouse.— Com.
