A little ship was on the sea
It was a pretty sight,
It sailed along so pleasently,
And all was calm and bright,
When, lo ! a storm besan to rise, •
The wind blew loud and strong
It blew the clouds across the skies,.
It blew the waves along—
It blew the clouds, &e.
And all hut One were sore afraid
His head was on a pillow-laid,
Arid He was fast asleep ;
"Master, we perish ! Master, save !".
They cried ; their Alaster'heard ;
rciatilvd the wind and wave.
And stilled Cleat with a word
Morose,
A noble ship, oar country dear,
Has weathered many a gale—
Yet now a storm beats so severe
That many stout hearts quail ;,
But one who rides upon the storm
Can sive us from all ill;
iNc only want to hear his voice
Commanding "Peace, Ile still !
We'only want,&c.
Of Jesus! Master! hear, we pray,
Remove the chastening rod;
Let not our foes exulting say, •
There is no help in God."
From threatening storms preserve our land,
Ilebtke the winds and waves; •
And let us one united band,
Rejoice in God who saves.

FASHION EXTRAORDINARY.
The (laughter sits in the parlor, -
And rocks in an easy chair ; -
She's clad in her silks and satins,
And jewels are in her hair;
She winks, and giggles, ai d simporg,
And simpers, and giggles, and winks,
And though she talks but little,
'Tis vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in his.russet,
And ragged and seedy at that;
His coats-are all out at the elbow—
He wearta most shocking bad hat.
He's hoarding and saving his shillings,
So carefully day by day,
While she, on her beaux and her poodles,
IS throwing it all away.
She lies about in the morning •
.Till nearly the hour of noon;
Then Comes down snapping and snarling,
Because she is called too soon.
Her hair is still in the papers,
Her checks all dabblt d with paint—.
Remains of her last night's blushes, '
Before she intended to faint °
She falls in love with a fellowt
Who struts with a fureign air ;
He marries her for her money—
She marries hnti fur his hair ;
One of the very best matches—
Both are mated in life!
She gets a fool for a husband,
And he gets a fool for a wife !

"When we think," says Dr, Channing,
"that every house might be cheered by in

and then remember in how many houses the
higher powers and affections of human na
ture are buried as in toombs, what a daak

cloud of darkness deepen and enlarge. espe
cially after so much boasting of ours that
we are' in the van of the nations of the world
for intelligence and refinement and general
culture, f•Iow many homes aro really cheer
ed and made perpetually happy by the intro
duction of books, of music, or even of the
family paper ? In how many homes might
not an almost miraculous change be wrought,
if only by the presence of a good newspaper!
That presence gives birth to a 'brood of new
thoughts, awakens a distinct class of domes
tic associations. stimulates the higher and
warmer sentiments,' opens the social faculties
to the performance of a good and healthy
work, and insensibly draws all the members
of a fhmily together, waking one whole and
harmonious oirele ) where before was, perhaps
)rd.
The influences of these little things aro
far more potent and permanent, than people
generally have an idea of; they work active
ly, oven if they are not seen, in the very fact
of-their-operation-AV_e zreatly err wh%n we
underrate those influences i for they to • o
hold closely and powerfully on our liyes and
our happiness. A family in whose midst no
radiance springs from the working of affec
tion, and the exchange of • sweet and high
and tender sentiment s is a dweller in regions
of darkness indeed, and will never know their
real capacity for enjoyment until they have
come out of this valley of gloom and despair.
What wonder that our pnblio affairs are in
such a state of publication, when private
lives are so many of them unsatisfactory and
in darkness ?,
Never do that by proxy which you can

In former days, when open fire-places.
were in fashion, every room thus supplied
possessed a ventilator poisonous gases, like
sparks, having a natural . tendency to go up
wards. But new, when air-tight stoves, and
rooms as nearly•air-tight as'they_cati-well be ,
- nitie - th - e - order of the day, the best
method of ventilating an apartment is a mat
ter of vital importance. People who give
attention to the subject mtlit-be—enTivinced-of
the deleterious influences of an impure atmos

have traced the origin of dyspepsia, palm.).
nary complaints, and other diseases, among
which way be named tumors and other mor
bichsecret:ous, to a small, imperfectly venti
lated sleeping apartment.
Some who read these remarks May have
heard the story ' of the canary, whose mis

cold air of a wintry . night, hung its cage at

It is true that draughts of air ought not to
be permitted to pus in direct range with the
bed, yet, as the respirable portion of the air
becomes exhausted, a fresh supply should by
some means, be admitted into the room, or
the inmates instead of being invigorated, will
rise in the morning languid and unrefreshed.
This will - be the case with children even
more than with grown persons, their organs
of resperation being weaker and less fully
developed ; and to this, no doubt, the pee
vishness and irritableness, which they often
exhibit• when they first rise in the morning;
may be traceable.
The same causes of complaint exists rela
tive to our school rooms. The who

meantime his perceptions ecome •u_

is not in fault •
Our churches are open to the same impu
tation. Much has been said, and not with
out cause, relative to the drowsiness of many
who assemble for public worship Among
these are sometimes professors of—religioni
whose piety is thereby called in question.—
They try to rouse themselves, but succumb
to the depressing influences of impure air.
Nor will-the preacher be 'exempt. He too
is human, and subject to the infirmities of
the flesh. His energy will be impaired, and
the great truths, which, at first, had presen
ted themselves to his mind in bold and clear
relief, become faint and indistinct : and
when he leaves the house of God, it, is with
a weary heart, and a feeling that he has fail
ed in preaching the, gospel with the fervor
and earnestness demanded by a subject so
momentous. God has made an abundance
of pure air, and given it • without stint and
without price, to old and young, rich and
poor alike. And ow the free use of this gift

A Man with two Wiv3s.
Among the complications to which mar
riage contracted with strano•ers give rise
there are few more bizarre than that of a
German, who found himself honestly a biga
mist and very innocently criminal. About
twelveyears ago a laborer in a small town of
Silesia. living in misery, and the father of
two children, embarked for America, with the
consent of his wife. in order, if possible to
better their circumstances. He was success
ful, and sent home, during two years, assist.
ante to his family, addressing his letters and
his money to the curate of the parish; as his
wife could not read.
' But the third year ho received from his
pastor advice of Lis wife's death and a cer
tificate of his wife's decease. At the same
time the curate informed him that ho had
taken the two children himself, being Tema

The father sent three or four`hundrod thal
ers a year to the charitable tutor, and after
a ceitain time married again.
Fortune still continued to smile, and re
cently he has returned to Germany with his
second wife, to make a visit and take his two
children back with him to America.
Arrived at his native-town he encounter
ed'a-poor Woman pushing a little muck-cat•c
to which a boy was harnessed, and, struck
with astonishment, he exclaimed to his com
panion. "If I had not the certificate of my
wife's decease, I mild swear ,that wretched
woman was she."—lie was not mistaken.
Operating for his own profit, the curate
had sent a false certificate of the death, and
had ' himself appropriated the money sent
from America. The unhappy man who had
become unwittingly a bigamist, deposed a
complaint against the miserable
.pastor who
wag arrested, and he himself with his two
wives, who were equally dear to him, embark
ed at Hamburg for America. A complica
tion like this may not find a denouncement
satisfactory to all parties, except upon the
borders of the Salt Lake.

The Late Archbishop Hughes.
The Harrisburg Telegraph, in mit:rung to
this distinguished Archbishop, says that
"the biographers of gishep Hughes . luil to ,
men toll one in a
his career in_this country. It is well estab

that he reached die distinguished eminence
which he occupied before he died, alone by
the force of his native genius and wonderful
graces andaecompliShments of mind and per•
, - s - on, --- The fact to Which we desire to refer
is, that Bishop Hughes wrought as a. day la
borer in making turnpike in the Cumberland
Valley. He himself' often. referred to this
fact l when talking with Pennsylvanians, of
'
the great growth and mighty progress of the
Commonwealth, and ho seemed to regard his
experience as an honest laborer with the
pride and the satisfaction which belong to .
the true dignity of labor. This incident in
the career of this great man should be care
fully studied by all who toil for honest living,
and should inspire every young man of the
land who now labors with the pe and cour
age and virtue which raised the laborer,
John Hughes, to the highest distinction in
his Church, and the greatest honors among
the intellects of his age. — •

OD Thursday night we witnessed a scene'
that beggars description. Five hundred
Rebel prisoners were brought in from Camp
Nelsen, and, without .4keeptions, they were
the most wretched pitiful looking set we
have seen since the commencement rof' the
war. !deny of the poor fellows were in their
shirt sleevs and barefootei. They were near
ly starved, and their capture wily undoubt
edly save the most of them froth a miserable
death. These men were captured from Long.
street's command, and they state that his en
tire ariny,is in the same miserable condition:
'They e tl y alit.ared to be well satisfied with the

deliverance from the terrible position in
which they were placed. There were twen
