double-leaded editorial Upon the stilyect it
disclaims nny with, on the part of those
whom it rrprt'st-iitB, to insist upon the Gen
erul's notnitmliou if it vlmll not be found
that he is the real choice of a majority of the
purty. The Gazette then given tvbtit it con
ceives to be the reasons why General Grant
should be the next President. Its argumeuts
on this point are deserving of general con
sideration, as I lie cotimtite placed upon his
charartcr by those who have known liiiii tilt
longest. It say?-:
A i-.t'iliiT nf nnaiirnnsed renown, and
! tried in the covt rnnient of men in the field, I
no one denie to him a power ol the most
extraordinary character. In that character
is combined no Ics the civilian than the ,
soldier. He governs easily, because he gov-1
emu reasonably, and the secret lies in this, j
that men subject to his control are, more i
than under common incu, iuclined to gnrtm I
themtehc. This is the perfection of ndiniii- j
istrutive ability, especbil'y in a self govern- j
ment liko outs. This power is never an- i
quired by education, but has its fountain in I
the temperament. To suy that General I
Grant is a civil soldier, is saying thnt he is j
not arrogant, nor overbearing, nor tyrannical I
in his ii.iinner or spirit towards other men.
His geographical knowledge of the country j
is u nsui passed. There is scarcely a loud or
river, a mountain or a valley of any note that
he hrts not studied. The people of every j
part of the country he knows, for he has!
either led representatives of all to victory. )
or helil them nt his mercy in defeat. This I
knowledge of the country nn.i ot its people
is a qualification of no .small moment in the i
j Chief Magistrate ot a nation HKe tins, at a j
(time when the finest sensibilities of the heart j
I ure to be reached in the process of hiirnio- j
nizing the conflicting element-! of feeling
that have been so diverse, and which have j
brought to the nation such an amount of!
accumulated wop. In general practical in- t
telligeoce itfnll things touching the inter- !
tsls of the country ami the well being of the ;
people, no man is his superior. lie practices ;
economy the most rigid in public expendi-
tures, oil the principle that it is wrong to do !
otherwise. His administration, in this re-
gard, would lighten the public burdens a ;
number of millions, in our opinion, that it I
would l e hazardous for us to name. His '
mind is as quick asa I3ah to detect a wrong,
und equally quick in devising a remedy,
where one is possible within tiie bounds ot I
just propriety. With foreign nations hi ,
policy would be that of peace, in every case 1
consistent witli tiublij honor. Iu every law ;
passed by the representatives of the people j
and of the States, intended to promote or
protect the pub ic welfare, he will consider ,
! it his sacred duty to ucquiesce. In coutaue '
to do right he is only equalled by his le- j
termineci disposition and will that riht j
j shall be done, and iu whatever position he is j
placed, to the full extent of his power, it
will be none.

Jiv.n l.v lleii.e!t-
Funny Wright, the woman who killed
police officer McChesney, in New York, has
been removed to the Tombs, nnd now occu
pies u cell in the upper tier of the female
prison. In reply to interrogations she made
! the following statement respecting bar life :
About ten years ago I was living happily
with my parents at Poughkcepsie, in this
State. Nothing that I could wish for was
withheld. I was trained in the Roman
Catholic faith, and attended to my teligious
duties with carefulness and pleasure until I
was corrupted by a young girl of tho same
aee. who was my school fellow. She had
been reading novels to such an extent that
ber head became fairly upset, and nothing
would do her but to ttavel nut and see the
world. The dull life of a small couutry
place like Ponuhkeepsie would not suit her j
tastes anil inclinations, und from repeatedly
wbisiierinf! into my cars and persuading nie
that we would be great ladies, have horses,
carriages, diamonds and servants of our own, 1
I finally reluctantly consented to Ilee trom
borne, and we started together one neautnui
night for the city of New York. (Here the
poor woman gave way to tears again, and
obbed hysterically.) On our arrival in this
city we took up our quarters with Mrs.
Adams, at Ao. 87 Leouard street, and this
was the place where I Inst ray virtue and
commenced to leatl a life of Litter, bitter
shame. My family ultimately succeeded in
finding out my whereabouts and took me
borne, but I could not listen to the voice of
reason. I felt that I bad selected my mode
of life, and was determined at all hazards to
follow it out. I escaped a second time, and
went back to Mrs. Adams', wbore I was
confined of a sweet little girl shortly after
wards. I used to keep tnyselt very Clean,
sad pressed wttb gttat cars and tas(efulntl
ism
H. B. MASSER & CO.,
SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 23, 18G7.
From Mrs. Adams' I moved to Mi-,, Wll
loughb at No. 101 Mercer street, and lived
theie until the death of my little girl, three
year ago j that had an awltil cnect upon
me; I could not help taking to drink to
drown my sorrow. From this period I date
tho commencement of my real hnrd.iliips.
My father emigrated to California, and I had
no ono left but a young brother; he tried to
reform mc, and also his poor wife j God
bless her, she used to cry herself eick nt my
disgrace. Previous to this the young girl
who accompanied ine from home in the lirst
instance fell out lucky, and got married.
Drinking was the only pleasure of my life,
Bod it was not long until it began to have
its results; I was arrested and committed to
the Island for sis months ; I got down before
my time was up and ngaiu took to liquor
and fctreet walking. I used to walk all the
time between Greene, Woostcr and Mercer
streets, in the eighth wurd. I was soon ar
rested the second time, and scut up again
f r six months. During the lust three years
of my life, I have been sent on the Island
six times altogether for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. On the night the officer
was killed (here she gave way again to tears,
and rocked herself around on the bed in a
fearful manner) I was walking through the
street going home with a message, and pick
ing the kernels out of a hickory nut with a
small knife, when the officer came up to me,
1 was almost drunk ut tho time, and much
excited ; I did not know what I was doing,
when on the impulse of the moment I struck
him w ith tho knife. I never had nny enmity
against the man, in fact never saw Jiim be
fore until that time. It is not true that I
had only just come down from the Island ;
I was down from there at least six weeks. I
don't feel myself guilty of his murder, when
I never intended to do it, and I know God
will forgive me.
The brother of Funny, a rcspecfublo voumr
man, residing iu the neighborhood of
Poughkeepsie, called at the prison and had
an interview with his sister. A more affect
ing scene, says tho Express, it has seldom
been our lot to w itness. Although a strong,
robust man, he fairly shook with emotion,
from a keen sense of grief and shame. He
remained with her for nearly an hour. She
was almost frantic with violent outbursts of
grief, and after his Uepurture became, insen
sible.
The Married I, I To.
Unhappy marriages, how frequently they
now occur. Euch and all nt us have near
and dear friends whose married lives are
not happy ones. Sometimes wo are prone
to think that the spirit of love deserts its
cnp:ivcs as soon as the marriage ctriMiiony
is performed. Stilt this cantiot be, for ma
ny nl our friends have long been married,
and each year of their married life seems
only to indicate their love for each other.
Hence we must believe that
'True love, still born of Heaven, is blessed with
wings.
And onco tircj of earth, it plumes them back a.iin;
1 bus do mortals lose it.
Nature seems to have intended that all
wedded couples should enjoy happiness.
Deprive the bird of the society of its mute,
und watch the genuiue sorrow thnt follows.
A dove is said lo have left its nest and died
a lingering death apparently, because its
companion had been killed by some thought
less boys. And the universal expectation
of all young people is that their married
lives will be bappy ones. Deluded dream
ers ! They imagine that they are dillcrent
from other people, and that when they en
ter the portals of matrimony, love, peace
and prosperity will ever be their attentions,
fcmch ones had better by far consider them
selves the same as others, but form iron reso
lutions to do dill'erently from other married
people; resolutions that will keep them
from the dangerous coasts on which so
many have been wrecked and ruined.
Unhappy marriages depend upon many
causes. In this fast ugc there is too much
deceit piacticed by the young of both sexes.
Previous to marriage, many try to appear
more intellectual, more handsome, or more
accomplished thun they actually are. Pride
enough to appear well iu each other's so
ciety is in the highest degree commendable,
and is always to be cxpeeted. All this can
be done and still no gross deception prac
ticed. Disguised os it may be, ull happy unions
must depend upon moral worth. Moral
worth has its origin and foundation in the
heart, and it alone can throw a lasting and
transparent lustre around the married life.
Wealth and honor alouu combined cannot
bring happiness. But two loviug hearts,
animated by puro and upright sentiments,
w ill form a pleasant union iu spito of the
lack of riches or rank. Depend upon it
that love brnuuht into existence, by a moou-
light stroll, strengthened by deceit and fash-
ionaole displays, ana tonally consummated
through the influence of intriuuin" friends.
will fade in after life almost as fast as the !
flowers which compose the biidal w reath.
Hasty marriages, based upou pretended love,
are but a mockery of disappointed hopes
and thwarted anticipations. Family altars
erected upon unloving hearts are but vast
monumeuts of miser v to those w ho arc com
pelled to Assemble around them.
"Marriage is a civil contract." It is a
reality And not a poetical fancy. Men and j
women are machines, and Are all somewhat
alike. They are not the ideal images which
poets and novel writers would have us be
lieve. Our lovers are just about the same,
or perhaps not quite as good, as our bro
thers and sisters. Hence but few need ex
pect perfect happiness after the wooing and
winning is over.
But disappointed hopes are not the only
cause for uuhappincsa at the fireside.
Wives and husbands are each apt to beciomu
neglectful. Many a good husband bas un
consciously lott the love of bis w ifo by in
attention and carelessness. Their business
absorbs all tbeir time and attention. They
seem to think that if their wives have plenty
of money to spend they ought to be happy.
itu some wives pteniy v tnsii is iuc
qua non of happiness ; but, thank God ! it
is not true of nil. Some wives must be
loved. A heart felt kiss and an affectionate
good bye in the morning are worth more to
them tuan all tn greeniiacus in exisieuee.
We have beard of an old gentlemau w ho for
fifty years never left home without the kiss
ami "Good bye. dear," and while bis bome
was a typical heaven, peace and prosperity
bad always smiled upon bis efforts in life.
Married life brings its joys and it sorrows.
Th.r spema to be less beauty, in it tban in
the single state, but it is far safer ; it is more
joyful, or more sorrowful, according to cir
cumstances. Ilapov marriages are moral
saving banks in a community. Single
vounu men. especially, are like a ship at sea
without a rudder. To them it matters but
little whither tbey are carried. No helpless
heinas depend upon tbem for support. No

eye to a husband, but a man is an ass who
takes a wife out of such assemblies, havimr
no other means of jtidgiug of his choice!
You are not the same person in your white
crape mm sunn sup as you nre in your morn
ing dress. A man is not the same iu his
tight coat, and feverish glazed pumps, and
his still' white waistcoat, as ho is in his i?reen
double-breasted frock, his old black tlitto,
or his woolen jacket. And a man is doubly
on ass who is in the habit of frequenting
evening parties, unless ho is forced thither
in search of a lady to whom he is attached,
or unless he is compelled to go by his wife.
A tnun who loves dnncing may be set down
as an ass; and the fashion is creatlv coins'
out with the increasing good sense of the
age. Do not say that he who lives at homo,
or frequents clubs in lieu of balls, is a brute,
and has not a proper respect for the female
sex ; on the contrary, ho may respect it mcst
sincerely. He feels that a woman appears
to advantage not among those whom she
can not enro about, but among those whom
she joves. He thinks her beautiful when
she is at homo muking tea for her old father.
He believes her to bo charming when she is
singing a simple song at the piano, but not
when she is screeching at nn evening party.
He thinks by far the most valuable part of
her is her heart ; and a- kind, simple heart,
my dear, shines in conversation better thun
tho best of wit. Ho admires her best in
intercourse w ith her family and friends, and
detests the miserable slip slop that he is
obliged to hear from and utter to her iu the
course of a bull, and avoids and despises such
meetings."

O.nk or Till-. PllKDICCKKSOHS OP Wesvov,
the Pkdkstkian. The talk about the pe
destrian feat now accomplishing by YA'cston
revives recollections of no Englishman, Cap
tain Barclay, whose exploits in this line have
never siuoe been approached. In 1790, when
only sixteen, hn walked six miles in nu hour.
Some years afterward, while in training for
a match of ninety miles in twenty-one and
a half hours, lie walked ono hundred and
ten miles in nineteen hours. In December,
1801, he made a hundred miles in nineteen
hours. It is said that hit walked with his
body bent forward, so as to throw the
weight on the knees. His step was short,
and his feet w ere lifted but a few inches from
the ground. His walking dress was about
the same as that worn by Weston.
Hints os Domkstic Economy. Many of
the poor suffer in cold weather for lack of
fuel and bed clothing. The following hints
are offered to such. To increase the warmth
of a bed to tho extent at least of a heavy
quilt, just paste the edges of four newspa
pers together, and place them between the
other covering. Paper is non porous, and
holds animal heat, when combined with
quilts or blankets, better than the latter
alone. Again, for lack of fuel, get the coal
dirt or screenings, which can be had at a
coal-yard for carting owoy, and wetting it
to the sticky consistency, mould it in the
hands into rolls the size of snow-balls ; and
having a fire already made of coal, place
these balls in the stove. Never disturb it
w ith poker or lever, but keep the door closed,
and for weeks a house can be thus wanned
with no other trouble than putting on the
balls. Some families, iu no way compelled to
employ such economy, use little else. Ger

The Rev. II. Berry, in his cxcellant Essav
on Breetling, soys : "A person selecting a
stock from which to breed, notwithstanding
no nns set up lor himsolt a standard of per
fections, will obtain them with qualifica
tions of different descriptions and in differ
ent degrees. In breeding from such ho will
exercise his judgment, and decide where
indispensable or desirable qualities aro want
iug, and will cross with animals with a view
to establish them. This proceeding will be
of tho 'give and take' kind. He will submit
to the introduction nf a trifling defect, in
order that he may profit by a great excel
lence ; and between excellences perhaps
somewhat incompatible, ho will decide on
which is tho greatest and give it the pre
ference. "To a farmer beginning improvement, tlio
best advice is, to get as good a bull as he
can ; and if he has n good one of his kind,
to use him indiscriminately with nil hi
cows, and when by this proceeding, which
ought to be persisted in, his stock ba, with
an occasional change of bull, become suffi
ciently stamped with desirable excellences,
his selection of males should then be made,
to eradicate defects which he thinks it do
sirable to get rid of. Ho will not fail to
keep in view the necessity of pond Nood in
the bulls resorted to, for that will give tho
ODly assurance that they will transmit their
own valuable properties to their offspring ;
but he must not depend on this alone, r ho
will soon run the risk of degeneracy."
SKciritrc thk Leavks. -Tho woods aro
now full of leaves. Indeed they appear to
bo more abundant than ever, but farmers do
not valuo them as highly as we think they
should. For barnyards especially .thev are
profitable to haul in. Tbey are obtainable
too when there is little pressing work on
band. Gathered up in heaps they can b
readily loaded in carts and wagons with
close shelvings by using either a cloth somo
two or three yards square, or with a wooden
rake and the arm. Hogs are very fond of
them for litter, so are cow s ; and lor compost
they are excellent. As oats straw is now
usually fed to cattle and rye straw commands
a high price in tbe market, there is nothing
left for the purpose of littering except wheat
straw. Hence forest leaves should be hold
iu higher estimation that they commonly
arc.
It is a good rule to gather them this
