THE COMNON-SENSE OF THE SITUATION. After a week of great excitement, during j which many ignorant aud nervous people imagined that the .Nation was driving into a new revolution, we lirrd everything set tling down to quiet, with tire net result of a decided fall in gold. This is just what was reasonably to have Lec-n expected, and ju.-t what we predicted would follow impeachment, more than a year ago. Mr. Johnson's position was un derstood by intelligent meu of all parties to bo a revolutionary oue. In fact, he took up | the purposes of the rebellion just where General Lee had laid them down, and, sum moning its defeated chiefs around him, through the twenty-thousand dollar pardon clause, promised to restore the South to the political ascendancy, which it had lost in arms. The plau was, that be should, of his own personal authority, re-admit the ten 1 revolted States, with a prevailing rebel suf i fragc; aud that for this service the South I should unite with the Northern Democracy ito make him the next President. The plau | seemed feasible; but it had one gieat obsta | oie, and that was, the Congress was the sole j legislative power in the State, aud conse i quently the President had no tight to a plan | or "policy" of his own upon the subject. He had the right, it is true, of recommend ing measures, bat Congress could shape and i alter them according to its will; and las sole i prerogative, in relation to those measures ■ war, that when he disagreed with them, he ! had simply the right to request Congress to please thiuk the matter over once again, before requiring his approval. That is the whole length and breadth of.ihe veto potter; and save that limited prerogative, and the original right of recommending measures, the President is simply the executive officer, or High-Sheriff, of Congress. But Con gress, on the other baud, being composed of the direct representatives of the People I aud tbe .States, is the incarnation of the en tire sovereignty of the .Republic, and when it does think a vetoed measure over again, and re-passes it by a two-third vote, the Executive has no choice but to enter cordi ally upon its execution. A failure to do so is, in itself, an impeachable offence, while a positive act, in contravention of it, is con structive treason. The best lawyers Lave agreed on this; and there are none, of any character, who will pretend, for a moment to deny that the assumption, by the Presi dent, ot a right to an official legislative "policy" in opposition to the legislation and jrfHiey of Congress, is wholesale, naked, and unrelieved usurpation. With these limited Constitutional facul ties for war with Congress, Mr. Johnson hoidly set himself up iu opposition to its will; he refused to accede to its right to leg islate for the seceded States, and even ap pointed Governors and proclaimed a "pul icy," or, in other words, a supreme will of his own. This was an as-uuiption of sover eignty which, in earlier and more wholesome times, would have arou.-.cd the spirit of ev ery patriot of whatever politics; and have stirred the democracy, especially, to hurl the usurper from his throne. And so would the honest rank and tile of the Democracy have done then, had they been truly led; but the leaders of that organization saw so much of party benefit iu the ruin of their pation, and uetermiued to sustain Johnson, simply as an element of disturb ance iu the Republican camp. Their policy was, first, to have Mr. Johnson's policy suc ceed; and next, if it did not succeed, to pre vent all effective legislation on tbe part of Congress (particularly in the way of pacifi cation), iu order that they might go before the country at tire next Presidential election with the evidence, that tise Republican party were incapable ot government. Of course Congress understood this mo-, tive and the situation, and the'boldest of its chiefs proposed to arrest the President's usurpations by impeachment; hut timidity and mere political calculations interposed, aud the President acquired new audacity, to the exact degree of Congressional irresolu tion. lie lectured Congress roundly when ever he felt in the humor; and when lie de sired to especially impress it with his au gust superiority, lie would buffet it on the check with accusations of corruption, and direct his lieges (as in his veto to the Re construction Rill) to pay no heed to its au thority. Occasionally, when particularly jolly, he would issue a promise to "kick all of its dependants "out of office." It is not surprising that, under this great scandal, the people were touched with dis gust at the irresolution of their leaders, and exhibited a temporary spasm at the lata elections. That was the meaning of the Fail verdict, and it was exactly what wo | predicted just a year ago, if Congress did i not then assert its prerogatives with cour age, through the process of impeachment That verdict, which was so plain to us. was ; not lightly understood by either party, j The President, with characteristic egotism, mistook it as h demonstration in his favor. I Congress, with customary self-mistrust, was disposed to regard it as a rebuke for what A LOCAL AND (} ENMItA J, NEWSPAPKR, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITKRATURB AND MORALS. they had attempted, instead of for what they had not done; ami the Democratic par ty, dazed by its unexpected fortune, and furthest off" of all, began to regard Andy as a statesman, and to gaze upon hint rover cntly, with worshipful thoughts of the stic i cession. No wonder, then, that the great j "Joss" of the White House became elated beyond even hisu-ual ela-iio measure, and commenced preparations for an out and-out revolution, iu due form. Congress thus far had succeeded in baf fling hint in his main purpose of luecing in the seceded States, according to his plan; but, nevertheless, they must be brought in on his plan, or he could not claim his por tion of the c •uipact, or unite sufficient forces to elect, himself, if made u nominee. New obstacles had grown around him. Congress, though it had never dared to toee him bold ly, had been very pestilent, and had envel oped his policy with a variety of restraining measures. The worst of these acts was, that one which supplanted his Governors l>y military Titaateiis, and the passage of a law which forbade him to remove th Min ister of War. The last was the chief ob stacle of all; for it had now became evident to Mr. Johnson, that he would have to make sotr.e sort of ucoup d'etat in order to Freak through the meshes which Congress had woven around htm; aud he could not hope to succeed in a coup fullness, is usually too absorbing to leave room and force for conspicuous friendship. With men the other sentiments are not so much suspended or engulfed by conjugal and parental love. "The men," L:i Biuyere says, "are the occasion that wo men do r.ot love each other, ' With the oncside exageration incident to most aphor isms this j* true. Husbands and children occupy the wife and mother, and marriage is often the grave of feminine friendship. Wcuien arc more sensitive and acute than men, more delicate electrometers for all the imponderable agencies of sympathy; and this greater penetration makes them more fastidious, gives them better ability indeed to admire what is superior, but causes them to Lo les- tolerant of what is offensive. The innervation and nutrition of women are finer and more complicated lhan those of man; and, by as much as her nerves are mi re numerous and more delicate, she has I a keener and richer consciousness, iuclud ': ing many states he is incapable of reproduc ' ing. The c y and subtle world of emotion—now infinitely timid and reticent, now all gates flung down (or the floods to pour -is their domain. They are at homo in i: all, from the rosy fogs of feeling to the twilight bord ers of intelligence. On the one side, these endowments are a help to friend, hip. The ardor with which a poor and generous wo ! man cntci into choice states of soul in anoth er is ar< demjitive sight. This capacity of I swift perception and sympathy makes the friend-hip of a woman a precious boon to a irt \n wl i aims at greatness or perfection; 1 ; and scarcely over has there been an illus- I triuus man wbo lias not been appreciated. comforted, and inspired in secret by some woman, long before he became famous, cir cling around him with her unselfish minis j trations, like that star which is the invisible I companion of Sirius. HOW THE (iEKHAKii MAKE LOVE. Ob, you American lovers, rejoicing in your secret walks, your lonely rides, your escorts from evening prayer-meetings, those well-established rendezvous for lovers; you who can indulge in secret, sighs, billet doux, and poetry, little do you realize the incon venience with which a modern German ccurt.-dnp is carried on. There are no secret interviews and smuggled letters to inspire the heart of an amorous German. If lie has anything to say, he says it before any body or everybody who happens to be in the room. If he calls upon the uiistressof his affection he bchclda her quietly knitting a stocking in the luid.-t of the family circle, and with all this array of spectators must he unbo som his heart and woo his bride. By un bosoming his heart, I don't mean proposing. Unless he can watch a second behind a door in a ball room, or elude for an instant tlio watchful care of tfie younglady's guardians, that momentous qu- stion. '"Will you have and its delicious answer, "leg, dear est," will never be whispered between them at all. He must go to baterfumilias or some married friend whose affections are doubtless as withered as her features, and make them the mediators. When all is arranged, the engagement announced, and the romance entirely over, then ho can see the lady alone, take her oc -asionally to the theatre, (when he wishes to do this before the engagement he must invite also the mother tr the aforemention ed withered relation,) and indulge in a walk once a week. This extreme reserve seems at first glance the more unnatural from the fact that Germans arc- essentially a ruman tic and poetical people. Their literature, love of music and worship of art, show thisj no less than the mistaken and romantic at tempts at chivalry among the students, and the tenderness and kindness, rough though it sometimes is, and the interest, almost curiosity, which is taken in your affairs. But Germans have to look beyond mere flirtation and love-making. They are usu ally poor, and must choose a wife as the \ icar of Wakefield did, "for wear." A flashy, brilliant girl, who lacked the usual domestic instruction, would never do for them, and ;t lady who should throw off her reserve and openly accept the attentions of pentlemen would, if she succeeded in keep ing her character, never win a husband. German men are not easily caught by ap pearances. There are some sad stories con nected with German engagements, owing to the excessive poverty of the men, and the necessity of almost every one to work his way from the bottom of the ladder. Frau Dr. S. told me, with tears in her eyes, of an elderly ladv living near hero who has been engaged fifty years. At no time lias her lover earned enough to marry upon, and now both are gray-haired, and approaching the grave, and though their hopes of marriage in life nro over. thoy koop their vows sacred for another world. There are many such cases, doubtless, where a whole lifetime is one continued struggle between hope and despair, a struggle only ended with death. 'The struggle is not always on the part of the bridegrooms for there is a custom here appalling to a man with several daughters and a small income. In America, if a lady consents to deliver up her own precious self, the sacrifice is considered by the enraptured lover quite sufficient; but here the lady must bring as a dowry all the furniture, linen and household utensils—in fact, everything nec essary to housekeeping. The absolute dis may of an honest German, with eighteharm ing daughters and five hundred thalcra in come, can be conceived where such a cus tom is in vogue. Perhaps this is one reason why the mothers do not spend their lives like the English dowagers, in constant en deavors to knock their daughters off to the lowest bidder, (I fear that "lowest bidder" will not be understood by the speculative Yankees,) I mean to the man who will take the smallest amount of money with them, for Englishmen never think of taking the incumbrance of a wife without the jointure. DEATH INDOORS. Multitudes of persons have a great horror, says Hall's journal of Health, of going out of doors for fear of taking cold; if it is a lit tle damp or a little windy, or a little cold, they wait, and wait, and wait: meanwhile, weeks and even months pass away, and they never, during the whole time, breathe a single breath of pure air. The reason is, they become so enfeebled, that their consti tutions, have no power of resistance; the least thing in the world gives them a cold; even going front one room to another, and before they know itthev have a cold all the time, and this is nothing more or less than consumption; whereas, if an opposite prac tice had been followed of going out for an hour or two every day, regardless of the weather, so it is not actually falling rain, a very different result would have taken place. The truth is, the more a person is out of doors, the less easily docs he take cold. It is a widely known fact that persons who camp out every night, or sleep under a tree The truth is, many of our ailments, and those of a most fatal form, are taken in the house, and not out of doors; taken by re moving parts of clothing too soon after com ing intn the house, or laying down on a bed or sofa when in a tired or exhausted condi tion from having engaged too vigorously in domestic employment. Many a pichascost au industrious man a hundred dollars. A human life has many a time paid for an ap ple dumpling. When our wives get to work they become so interested in it that they find themselves in an utterly exhausted con dition; their ambition to complete a thing, to do some work well, sustains them until it is completed. The mental and physical condition is one of exhaustion, when a breath of air will give a cold to_ settle in the joints, to wake up next day with inflamma tory rheumatism, or with a feeling of stiflf ' nc.-s or soreness, as if they had been poun ded in a bag; or a sore throat to worry and trouble them for months; or lung fever to put them in the grave in less than a week, j Our wives should work by the day ifthcy must ; work at all, and not by the job; it is more 1 economical in the end to see how little work I they can do in an hour instead of now much. It is slow, steady, continuous labor which ! brings health and strength and a good di -1 gestiou.

U. 1 TO VOlNfi MECHANICS In referring to iho growing inclination o the part ol young men, after they have set ved long and hard apprenticeships to a< quiro a good trade, to abandon that mod of making a living and to enter the legal o medical profession, where it is sups '>-• greater emoluments can be secured and lar ger honors won, acotemporary well observe that nineteen cases out of twenty such v n turos are failures, for two reasons. First the professions require peculiar talent am the most thorough education. As a rule apprentices to the trades have neither th time nor the moans to acquire this education Hence, wl en u mechanic at the end of hi apprenticeship aspires to and enters auj one of the professions he does so at a grea disadvantage. He may be a fluent speaker know how to argue a point in a debating society or harangue a crowd at a ward mec ting, but such talents do not fit him for th. legal profession. Ho may know how to ex tract a speinter from his own hand, how t. make a salve, how to mix a powder or ad minister a pill, but all this, while it migh quality him as a good nurse, does not ti him for the medical profession. The fact i the young men who abandon their trade arc tempted to do so by a feeling of fal-i piidc, erroneously imagining there is no honor to bo secured in a pursuit of the me chanical arts. History proves the fallacy ol such suppositions. The brightest names which now adorn the annals of all countries are of the best me chanics who have blessed mankind with thr productions of their genius. All that is beautiful and grand is the result of im provement in mechanics. The pendulum, the main spring, the barometer, thermome ter, printing press, steam engine, locomotive sewing machine, telescope—all, are the re sult of mechanics' arts, making those famous who produced them, and the people great who adopted them. A good mechanic who becomes a pettifog ger or quack, merely because be is toe proud to work at his trade, is. indeed, a piti ful object. A man of the right mental bal ance, who has proper mental form, with the necessary independence, will win as much honor and as fair a liviDg in the trades as in the profe-.-i.m-: indeed an indifferent law yt* or doctor lacking briefs or patients, is always a miserable I ting, a bad example in the community. Let oar young mechanics then, become ambitious in their own pecu liar voeatjons. If they dignify their trades by becoming proficient therein, the trades will dignify them with the highest honors. If mechanics pursue their bu-iness with a purpose to self improvement therein and not merely to hammer and file and saw. hut to improve the art, to develope something new therein, the mind will be strengthened as the arm become- muscular, and the heart ol the mechanic will be made to swell with as true a pride as ever glowed beneath the doublet of a prince. Will the young me ehanic think of these truths? — Scientific American. AMtllK AH uinu In our American life the natural depen dence of woman upon circumstances is in creased by a variety of causes. Here wo man ha.-, a peculiar delicacy of physical constitution that make- her especially" sen sitive to influence, even when in tolerable health, and renders it very difficult for her to keep herself in fall health. Whether it is tho climate, or our way of living, or what ever may bo the cause, the fact is certain that the American girl is a very delicate plant: beautiful, indeed, in comparison with others, —-more exquisitely organized than the English and Herman girl, and more self relyingthau the Italian, yet not generally strong in nerve and muscle, and too ready to fade Before her true midsummer has come. The statistics given of American woman, may be too partial, and too exclusively with the dark side of the subject; yet the facts stated cannot be questioned, and if there be a brighter side the dark.f-ido roust still be recognized. We have heard persons who might be expected to know what they say, declare that they can hardly name a single instance of perfect health among the young women of their acquaintance, and the physicians whom we her speaking of the sub ject not seldom lose their patience in setting forth the miseries of feminine invalidism, with its shattered nerves and morbid cireu lations. If half of what is said is true, it is one half more than ought to be so, and if our mothers had not been better gifted with maternal faculties than the candidates now ready for the bridal ring, the present num ber of the native American population could be accounted for only by miracle, not by natural descent. TIIE POETRY ASD THE PROSE.—Lamart ine once wrote an invitation in verse to Victor Hugo to visit him at his house. The poetical epistle contained a minute ac count of the mansion in which Lamartine was the master. Victor Hugo consented; undertook the long journey,and reached the dwelling of his brother poet. He looked about, but in vain, for the "embattled sum mit-'," the "bushy ivy." and the "stones tinted by the hand of time," of which he had read. What.be saw was an ortbo.-w. ivy,and painted a dirty yellow. As first he thought the coachman had plundered. Put Lamartine appeared to welcome him, so that there could be no mistake. On asking where was the house which had been so beautifully described in the invitation, Lniuartino replied—"You see it before you: I have but rendered it habitable. The bushy ivy made the walls damp and gave me rheumatism, so I had it removed. I had the battlements pulled- down, and the house modernized: its gray stones made me feel melancholy. Iluins are nice things to write about, but not to inhabit." THE WIFE. It needs no guilt to break a husband's heart. The absenee of content, the mut tering of spleen, the untidy dress and cheer less home, the forbiding scowl and deserted hearth—these and other nameless neglects, without a crime among them, have harrow ed to the quick the heart's core of many a man, and planted there, beyond the reach of cure, the germ of dark despair. Oh! may woman, before the sight arrives, dwell on "the recollections of her youth, and, clier feliing the dear idea of that tuneful time awake and keep alive the promises she so kindly gave. And though she may be the injured, not the injuring one; the forgotten, not the for getful wife, a happy allusion to the peaceful love, a kindly welcome to a comfortable home; a kiss of peace to pardon all the past, and the hardest heart that was over locked in the breast of selfish man, will soften to her charms, and bid her live, as she had hoped, her vears in matchless bliss, loved, loving, and content—the soother of the sorrowing the source of comfort and the spring of joy.

DR. IIALI, gives this advice to ladies:— Have a rocking chair in some large room at the top of the house all cozy quiet and clean and in some of the old familiar tune 3 of the village church of your childhood, sing by the hour, with an open mouth and a loud voice—not a penny whistle pitch—the psalms and hymns and spiritual songs of Watts and Wesley, of David and Moses, and "Deuteronomy add all ofthem;" sing away and rock away, and don't be afraid if your neighbors do think you are a Methodist; for if you are a live one, the angles won't be ashamed of you; but while you are singing think what the words mean and let your heart go out in that meaning; think, too, of the many who used to sing these same songs with you, side by side in the same pew but who can sing them no more now, for their lips are ?till in death and their sweet voices are hushed in the churchyard grave, to be heard no more until you join them in the hallelujahs of the skies.

HAPPINESS.—He cannot be an unhappy inan who has the love and smiles of woman to accompany him every department of life. The world may look dark and cheerless with out — enemies may gather in his path—but when he returns to his fire-side, aud feels the tendef love of woman, he forgets his troubles, and is comparatively a happy man. lie is but half prepared for the journey of life who takes not with him that friend who will forsake him in no emergency—who will divide his sorrows, increase his joys, lift the veil from his heart, and throw sunshine amid the darkest scenes.—Not that man can be miserable who has such a companion, be he ever so poor, despised and trodden upon by the world. _ _ THERE was a dry old fellow out iu Jeffer son county, in this State, who called one day on the member of Congress elect.

No. We never lose by a kind action, no matter to whom it is done. A STORY is told of a New England city clergyman who, one Monday last summer, visited the market early in the morning. While there his attention was called to some very fine strawberries. He wished very much to purchase some, but it being very early in the morning it occurred to him that they must have been picked on Sunday, and of course he could not purchase or use any thing which had been procured under such circumstances. "Mr. Smith, were these berries picked on Sunday?'' Mr.Smith with a sly twinkle in his eye, replied," No, Doc tor they were picked this morning, but they grow on Sunday." GOLDON RULES. Remember the golden rule: Do unto others as you would they should do unto you. Between virtue and vice there is no mid dle path. _ He who rises late never does a good day s work. Defer not till to-morrow what should be done to-day. Be not found of change: a rolling stone gathers no moss. _ . A contented mind is a cetinuai feast. Waste not; want not. Wilful waste makes woeful want. Take not even a pin that is not your own. A civil word is as soon spoken as a rude i one.
