One reason why it i, so difficult to plea,4
a woman it, thtit she seldom know, lierfelf
what she wants. Jo most cases it is as hard
to satisfy woman us it would be to content
a CRptain who wnnlJ set yen to steer bis ship
and wouldn't tell yon whether he wanted ynn In

she scolds about tbe expense,, grumbles
shoot the loss of time, and growls whenever
you go to drill ; though in spile if her
growling, she alwajs saves the choicest
part of the dinner for jnu when yon do

Then she laogh, at yea and call, ynn a
"dressed an monkey," the first time the sees

gone out of the house, the ru. bet vover to

you tell her (hot it's all a mistako, and that
you are goirg i ter a. I, she howls louder than

A Severn Martyr.
When the secret history of current events
at the South it brought to light, there will be
revelations of sacrifice and sufl'ering for loyal
ly to the Union that will show thai the age ol
hetoism ba, not wholly pone by. A recent
letter from a lady in Charleston, of undoubted
authenticity, gives 00 accouut of a martyr to
loyalty, whose name will be luuorrd io the
history I hit is yet to be writte.n.of the great
events of this age, though now concealed from
motive, of prudence :
poor F ia dead ; before tbe full of
Sumter he exerted all his inQuence, nsing
both pen und voice against rebellion, ontil be
was thrown iuto prison. At first be was
treated as au ordinary Criminal awaiting (rial ;
but ufler the buttle of Manassas, the Confed
erate, seemed drunk with triumph at tbeir
victory, and mad with rsge over the vast num
ber of vieliuis who fell io ibuir ranks. I
wrote jou with what pomp this city mooriied
her dead ; amid it all, when the Coul'ederute
host seemed like to win, F wus ohVred
freedom and promotion if he would espouse
the Confederate cOte. Hi, military and
scieuliflc atlninment, were eorsidorable,
which made them unxiouB for his services.
' I huve sworn allegiance to th, Lr.ir u," said
he, "nnd am not cue to break my pledge."
When tempted by promotion if he could be
prevailed upon to enlist beneath their banner,
he said, "you cannot buy my loyally. J love
Caruliud uti'i the tiouth ; but I love niy couu
try belter." Finding him faithful to the Hag
he luted, ho was uii?n t lael the power cf hi"
eueuiies. lie was thrown into a miserable,
damp, ill ventilated cell nod fed on course
lute ; half the liuie neglected by his drunken
keep- r. His property was eoulii-ciiled, end his
wile and chllilreu beggared. J'onr fellow ! he
sunk beuealh hi, Iru' bies, and was soon re
moved frorn the persecutions f bis oppres.
btrs. Tne dcy before bis death be said to bis
wife: "Mary, you are beggared because 1
would not prove disloyal." "God be thanked
for your fidelity!" replied the wife. 'They
have taken uway your wealth and life, but
could not statu your honor, aud our children
ahull boast PU ui . potted nume. My husband,
rejoice ia your liutn." HUo retuttud to her
t:;tiols alter his tleutlt, openly declaring her
proudest bousl should be, her husband died a
uiarur to his patriotism. Wbo a ball say the
day u! heroism has passed 1
. p
TiiR PotvKn rr Siu-ncb. A good wc-mun
in Jersey wus sadly uunojet! by a termicanl
neighbor, who often visited and provoked a
q'lHjrel. iSlie at laat sought tbe counsel of
her pastor, who added some common sense to
