From tho American Mechanic
THE MECHANIC'S WIPE.
In America; every mechanic is supposed
to have, or to be about to have, a wife.—
The many thotiseeds of these spouses arc
divided into sorts. Thus we have good and
bad; and —as a sort of par expression
-tolerably. It is not every gcod woman
who is a good wife; mr is it every good
wife who is a good wife for the mechanic.
A working man needs a working wife; sut
as to qualitiel of mind, manners, and mor
als, she cannot run too high in the scale.
There is an error prevalent concerning
this.
Giles says, do not want a wife with too
much sense." Why not? Perhaps Giles
will not answer, but the shrug of his shoul
ders answers, "Because I am afraid she
will be an overmatch for me." Giles talks
like a simpleton. Tho unfortunate men
who have their tyrants at home are never
married to women of sense. Genuine ele
vation of mind cannot prompt any one,male
or female, to go oat of his or her proper
sphere• No man ever suffered for an over

head or his wife's.
Hodge says, "I will not marry a girl
who•has too much manners." Very well,
Hodge; you are right; too much ()rimy thing
is bad. ' But consider what you say. Per
haps you mean to say that a fine lady would
not suit you. Very true; I should not de

led a "fine lady," to wit, to a woman who
treats you as beneath her level, sneers at
your: friends, and is digit() her business.—
But 'this is not good manners. Real good
manners and true politeness are'equally at
home . in courts and farm houses. This.
quality springs from nature, and is the ex
pression of unaffected good will. Even in

METHODIST EPISCOPAL MISSION IN SOUTH
AMEIIICA—TIIO Methodist Missionary So

stations in South America. The oldest is
at Rio Janeiro, under the general superin
tendence of the Rev. J. Spaulding; another
at Buenos Ayres, at the head of
.which is
the Rev. John DeMpster; a ;Mid, and the
one most recently established, 18 at Monte
Video, under the superintendence of the
Rev. Wm. H. Norris, formerly of Brook.
lyn. Of this last mission a correspondent of
the Boston Recorder thus writes from Monte
Video:— • -
"The Rev. Mr. Norris, of the Methodist
Episcopal Missionary Society in the United
States, arrived from New York last year.
He opened his housefor public service on
the Sabbath, and iTrving an acceptable,
preacher, quite en interest has been excited
in his behalf, and in behalf of the Protes
tant cause genorally. A Sabbath •schoel
has been established, for foreign children,
and a subscription has been set on fuel for
raising funds to build a suitable church .for
Mr. Norris. Five thousand two hundred
patacones (equal to ne many Spanish dol
lars) have been subscribed, besides a band
some organ. Two American mercantile
houses give individually and collectively
1150 patacones. A lot has been selected
and purchased, near the centre of the city,
costing !:34,0,00. A pplicati.n lias been made
to government for permission to build, and
is now daily expected' to be granted, when
operations for erecting the house, will com
mence. Mr. Norris occasionally preaches
on board ofsome attic British' and Ameri
can shipping lying 'intho harbor, on Sab
bath allernoons—visitS the sick and pour
and administers tia their spiritual wants.—
It is worthy of remark that the emit itbunons
for the place of worship are collected from
the English, 'Scritch., German, Swedish and
American residents, :whose unanimity is
commendable.''
We have read froin 'fiino to time letters
from the officers of the Navy who have
been on the South American station,and
they all speak favorably of the missionaries
and the apparent good which has resulted
from their labors.—N. Y. Com. Adr.
THE CENSIT3 AND ArPOILTIONMENT.—
The Now York - Sarremarks that the total
population of the United States, according
to the census, will stand about as follows—
whites 14,250,000, free colored 400,000,
slaves 2,854,000—t0tal 17,000,000. The
ratio of 00,000 which has been proposed as
the' basis of representation, would deprive,
Many of the States of part of their present
representation,.and leave very largo frac
tions unrepresented in a majority of the
States, The ExPress contains a table show
ing the effect of such a ratio compared with
the prevnt. fly 'this 0 appears that the
thirteen non-slir , eholding strites,which ander .
the present ratio 0f47,700 have a represen
tation in the House of Congress of 142
members, would, by the ratio proposed have
such representation increased to 154 mem
bers, while the thirteen slave-holding states
have now 100, would , be decreased to 9.5,
making 249 members in the House,
ratio of 50,000 would increase the House to
about 300 members.

THE COLONY or LlDERlA.—Liberia has
a population,of 4,500 American colonists,
and 30,000 natives.. It has nine settlements
or towns, the most distant being 300 miles
apart,on the sea coasts; the others at various
distances, intermediate. Its territory, pro
cured by purchase; contains nearly 500,000
acres of land, and other large tracts can be
eivitly obtained, of the native owners in the
same way. The government is modelled
after otii own, and is purely republican, ad
minisered almost wholly by colored people.
Agriculture is thriving and greatly extend

Twenty-one churches are organized, seine
of them composed of native converts.—
More than thirty ordained ministers are
engaged in religious teaching. Many Sab

RULES FOR TRAVELLERS WHEN CROSSING

which has happened on the railroad, in'eur

which ought to be observed by pamligetti
vll o must travel either on Tobt . or ti'velii;
cle across the track. We take it for gran
ted that there is an arch with the usual
words ofcaution to travellers, wherever the
railroad crosses any public path.' '
1. Always keep a good . look out, when
travelling an inaccbstomed road especially,
for the arch, which present's to the eyes
the words "Railroad Crossing; Look out,
&c."
2. Whenever you arrive at one'Of these
crossings, stop your ivirse completely,• and
before you cross, look both•up a'nd down the
track, to assure yourself that the cars are
not in sight.
3. If the Engine should be in sight, how
treat soover the distance, if it be within a
mile turn your horse - a Mlle one :side, that
he may have his head towards it 'wall or
house, and unless you have perfect confi
dence in his courage, jump out and hold
him by the small reins. This direction is
given that you may soothe his fears by your
wesence.
4. Never walk on the railroad if you are
deaf or dumb, or subject to ab3e ace of mind.
5. Never stand still between the rails,
while conversing with another person,'or
looking nt a.prospeei. IVhile your mind ig,
thus employed,you may become "ol,livi: , tis,"
like Dominic Samson, null unobservant Of
the approaching engine'.
6. Never try to get into the ears; niter
they have started; better lose your trip than
risk your life, ns you• would, by 'no domg,
,unless by frequent travelling you have loarm

CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES--
Progroa of Estraveinclit —Tim corres
pondence between Mr. Fox, the British
min
ister, and Mr. Forsyth, the American Sec
retary of Suite, on the burning of the Caro
line has reached the Contains, and, as might
have been expected„produced a prodigious
,explciiiun of valor and vengeance,if McLeod
should be hanged by, the authorities of Ni
agara county, in whose hands ho now repo
seirather uncomfortably. From Montreal
tQUpper Canada the same big, broad, bit.
ter feeling prevUils against the United States.
The "British Colonist,' published at Toron
to, writes as follows;--
"It is sOmew hat extraordinary that the
American authorities do riot admit the jus•
tillable circu I stances (iii theCiflolinenflitir)
which cannot fail to strike every impartial
observer. It would appear us if they (lasi
red to make the most ofu disgraceful affair
—disgraceful as far as they are concerned.
But they hay° a peculiar way of, confound
ing things--and the manner in which thoy
mix up and ciniflise, to suit the particular
object
,iii view at the time, that which ap•
pertains to their General Government, and
to their separate State Governments, is, as
they, would say themselves, 'a caution.'--
They take shelter under either, as it suits
their convenience for the time, and when
the one fails thern,they then fly to the other.
We conclude for the present, with the
expression of a confident hope, that, at what•
casr cast, our government will not sufror
ono hair of Mr. McLeod's head to be lop
ren. There are, perjured y Wallis enough on
the other Side : ready to swear any thins to
procure his convjction, who would that mo

death, and us the sheriff's interests may. : ,be

ate mob, there would be little chance ofiiis
conniving at Mr. McLeod's escapo,, as has
been done, in the cases of all the border
piowlers who have been in the United
States, and convicted, but afterwards set at
liberty ."
The "Alontreal, Perald" speaks, if possi
ble in a more bitter tone, as follows:
"As nothing is now too base. fur the Offi-
Con" of :the republic to sanction, we should
not be . surprised • to hear of British,offieere,

Forsyth holds good in all cases of a similar
nature. And the British government is so
much respected by the American, that it is
powerless to save its servants fur obe ing
its lawful orders. This state of feeling
cannot last. The cup of iniquity is List
