But 'spite that frost, within thy heart Stilt flows allectioa's tide, As warm as on that happy morn, 1 proudly hailed the bride. And though upon thy gentle face.

And oftentimes when I have flown From thine and duty's side, No unkind wood or look has shown, That grief thou fain wouldst hide; Thou bast striver. again to win me back, By cheerful, loving care; And wooing, keep me in the track, Through thine example there.

HOW TO COOK A BEEFSTEAK.—A beef steak ought always to be broiled and never tried ; 'but the following method of cooking is recommended by Mrs. llcton, which even those who are ac mistimed to frying may be willing to try. "The frying pan being wiped very dry place it. ;you the Stove and let it be come hot—very but. In the meantime, mangle the steak—if it chance to be sir loin, so much the better—pepper and salt it, then lay it in the tint, dry pan, which instant.) , cover as tightly as pos sible. When the raw flesh touches the heated pan, of course it seethes and ad heres to it, but in a few seconds it be comes loosened and juicy. Every bait minute turn the steak; but be careful to keep it as much as possible undercover. Wheu nearly dune lay a small piece of butter upon it, and if you want much gravy, add a table spoonful of strong coffee. In three minutes from the time the steak first goes into the pan it is ready fur the table. This method of cooking makes the most delicious, deli cately broiled steak; lull of juice, yet retaining the healthful beefy flavor that any Johu 111 could require The same method May be applied..to,rantton, chops, only they require a little longer cooking to prevent them Irvin being rare. Au excellent gravy may he made fur them by ad fling a little cream, thick ened with a pinch of flour, into which when off the tire and partly cool, stir in the yolk of an egg, well beaten." BIMACII OF Paomisi—A widow of forty three summers and the mother of four blooming children, two of whom are married, lately sued a gay deceiver for breach of promise. The "deceiver" is an old man of seve ty sir, the father of nine children, and the possessor of two farms. The parties live in Warren county, Ohio. This aged lover gave the fat and forty if not fair widow, several rides in his buggy, to church and other places, and told the lady that` he might conclude to marry , some day, and if he did, bethought she weuld ba the woman. Upon this hint she acted ; purchasing a wedding dress, and consulted a few par ticular friends in regard to the wedding cake. At this stage, however, the old man craw-fished—declined to fulfill the engagement—flatly denied thaehe ever intended to marry the lady. To heal her lacerated feelings she brought suit against the "perfidious old wretch," and received $2265, which made her happy. A western paper speaks of " a man who died withouttlite aid of a physician.' 4nkgenlitat Vronstibania *anal for fie mine Arch.- MARIETTA, SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 21, 1866. The Ruling Passion Strong in Death. Old Boge was a WI erly old fellow, who had accumulated great wealth by life long penuriousness. But even misers .have to die some time, and old Boge was at length called upon to pay that debt which all must pay, and which is paid as easily by the man who hasn't got a cent as by the possessor of millions. Old Boge was sick unto death, finding a partial recompense in his sufferings from the reflection that, as he could not eat anything, sometliing was being saved. His physician told him that his end was rapidly approaching, and as he felt with. in himself that he was rapidly approach ing his end, it was evident to old Boge that he must meet his end very . soon. " How long have 1 to live ?" asked old Boge in a faint voice. "(July half nu hour," said the physi cian, taking out his watch in a business like wanner, and then added, "Is there any one you would like to send fur—a clergyman, fur lustance ?" Old Huge: mused in a lethargic way for a moment, then started up as with a sudden thought, raised his feeble hand uud felt his emaciated chin, upon which two weeks growth of gray and stubbed beard had grown, rhea whispered hur riedly,-"Quick—bring me— a barber." The barber came filth his kit, and old Boge intid, in a voice that was rapidly growing weaker— " Y uu—charge—ten cents—to—shave —live :nen ?'' • .' Yes, that is our usual price," re plied the barber. " What—do you charge—to shave— dead men ?" "Una dollar," said the barber, wonder log what he meant. "Teen—shave—me—quick," said old Bogs, nervously eyeing the watch which the doctor held in his hand, lie was too weak to speak further, but toe doc tor interpreted aright the question that was in his eyes. '• Fifteen minutes replied the doctor Old Bop made a feeble motion, as with a lather brush, and the barber was at his work in a jiffy. He performed his tusk with neatness and despatch, and although the sick man bad several sinking spells of an alarming nature, yet be bore up to the end. When the lust stroke of the razor had been given, old tinge whispered in tones of satisfac- titlll - That'll do—ninety cents—saved,' and inme4iiately expired. FALSE UM.VES AND fILTINti HOOPS.- Mouno'City correspoudent, speaking of the latest style in crinoline, Bays : These institutions are much in vogue in the Mound City. Despite the sneers of the press and the impudent stare of men, the women folks persist in wearing - them. Some days ago an inveterate wag in this city had discovered that his wife had received a very extensive ward r ,be of this kind. lie used every en deavor to dissuade her from exposing herself in extravagant riggery ; but as she was rather good looking and dis posed to be rapid, she insisted on dis playing herself muchly iu the agonizing fashion. lie met her on the street, sailing along with all sail spread, a high heeded craft, and producing consider able sensation. Taking the dear little ihing in custody, he whispered to her that her hoops sere disarranged, and she stopped inla popular resort for, moment while he adjusted them. `Pak-' ing advantage of this opportunity he cut a considerable opening in one of the artificial calves, and the sawdust stuffing began to leak. All unconscious of the fact that her leg was dwindling away, and that she was having a stretch of sawdust in her track, she proddly swung along, until a friend informed her of her accident." i The amount of whiskey annually cmsuined in the United States, gives a gallon and a half for each man, woman and child in the country. British America consumes a gallon and a quar ter for each.• Great. Britain malt li coors prevail, for the people, while they consume only seven eighths of a gallon of whiskey for each one, drink an aver age of nearly a.barrd of ale and beer apiece. Russia is the greatest - whiskey drinking'coantry, the consumption av eragittg more than two gallons annually, for each of the infiabitaals.

Once upon a time, Frederick, King of Prussia, s"" roamed Fiitz," took a ride, and espied au old man plowing his acre by the wayside, cheerfully singing his melody. " You must be well off, old man," said the King. " Does this acre belong to you on which you so industriously la bor ?" " No, sir," said the farmer, who knew not that it was the King. " I am not so rich as that ; I plow for wages." " How much do you get a day 7" asked the King. "Eight groschtin," . (about twenty cents,) said the farmer; "This is not much," said the King. "Can you get along with this ?" "Get along and bave"sometbing left." "Howie that?" The fanner smiled and said :--" Well, if I. must tell you—two groschen are for myself and wile ; with two I pay my old •debts; two I lend away, and two I give away for the Lord's sake." "This is a mystery which I cannot solve," Said the King. "Then I will solve it, for you," said the farmer. '• 1 have two old parents at home who kept me when I was weak and needed help, and now that they are weak and need help I help them. That is my debt toward which I pay two groschen a day. The third pair of gro schen I lend away I spend for my chil dren, that they may receive Christian instruction; This will come handy to me and toy wife when we get old. With the last two groschen I maintain two sisters whom I could not be compelled to keep. This is what I give for the Lord's sake." The King, apparently well pleased with the answer, said : " Bravely spoken, old man. Now I will give you something to guess. Have you ever seen me before I" " Never," said the farmer. "In less than five minutes you shall 'see me fifty times, and carry in your pocket fifty of my likenesses." "This is a mystery which I cannot unravel," said the farmer. " Then I will solve it for you," said the King. Thrustit . ig his hand into his pocket, and countitikhiin fifty bran new gold pieces into his hand, stamped with his royal likeness, he said to the aston ished farmer, who knew not what was coming.: " The ,coin is genuine, for it also comes from our Lord, and I am his paymaster. I bid you adieu." ifir Juge Drake, of the U S. Dis trict Court of Utah, h.s decided that the Probate Court of the Territory have no rieht to issue naturalization certifi cates or, to confer any rights of c!tizen ship whatever. A pplication being then made to the District Court itself, be firmly rpfused to grant a certificate to any man living in polygamy, on the around that it was contrary to the act of Congress, and that any man who per sistently refused to obey the laws of the United States was not entitled to citi zenship or any of the benefits accruing therefrom. OW An Adrian ( Mich.) correspond ent of the Chicago Tribune details the murder of his wife and step-daughter by Isaac Vanacter, a farmer of Madinat in that state.

In domestic happine . ss, the wife's in fluence is much greater than the hus band's ; for the one, the first cause— mutual love , and confidence—being granted, the whole comfort of the house bold depends upon trifles more imme diately under her jurisdiction. By her management ofsmall sums, her husband's respectability and credit are created or destroyed. No fortune can stand the constant leakages of extravagance and tnismanagement ; and more is spent in trifles than women would easily believe. The one great expense, whatever it may be, is turned over and carefully reflected on ere incurred ; the income is prepared for it; but it is pennies imperceptibly sliding away that do the mischief ; and this the wife.alone can stop, for it does not come within a man's province. There is often an unsuspected trifle to be saved in every household. It is not in economy alone that the wife's atten tioo is so necessary, but iu those little niceties which mark a well regulated household. An unfurnished cruit-stand, a missing key, a buttonless shirt, a soiled table-cloth, a mustard-pot with its old contents sticking hard and brown about it, and severally nothings ; but each can raise au angry word and cause discom fort. Depend on it, there's a great deal of domestic happiness in a well dressed mutton chop or a tidy breakfast table. Men grow sated of beauty, tired of music are often too wearied for conversation, ( however intellectual ;) but they can always appreciate a well swept hearth and smiling comfort. A woman may love her husband devotedly—may sacri fice fortune, friends, family, country for him—she may have the genius of a Sap pho, the enchanting beauties of an Armida ; but—melancholy fact—if with these she fail - to make his home comfort able, his heart will inevitably escape her. And women live so entirely in their af fections that without love their exist ence is a void. Better submit, then, to household tasks, however repugnant they may be to your tastes, than doom yourself to a loveless home. Women of a higher order of mind will not run this risk ; they know that their feminine, their domestic, - are their first duties. gir The false calves now so much in vogue are rendered necessary by -the new style of tilting hoops, which go very far towards exposing what was before only dreamed of. or existed only in im agination. In the language of an ex change : '•'Their calves are not a fleeting show, For man's illusion given ; They're tilled with bran or stuffed with tow. And swell about a foot or so. And look first rate, by Heaven !" The false bosoms are made of fine wire, in the shape of a bird's nest, with a small spring in them, and really look and feel quite natural. The plumpers are fastened on the teeth in such a manner as to make the face look round and pkmp, and are cal culated to deceive the unsuspecting. ifir A family fete of great rarity has been celebrated at Olmutz, Moravia, in honor of M. Wisgrill, a landed proprie tor, and his wife, whose united agei3 amount to just 200 years, the husband being 103 and the wife 97. They were married on May 25,1791, and celebrated the seventy-fifth anniversary of their union. trArtiticial "palpitating bosoms" are now fashionable for ladies whose attenu ated bosoms formerly compelled thorn to hug cotton to their hearts.

All About Women Women, as a general rule, are not I usefully educated in this country. They are chiefly taught those accomplish meats which the experience of their mothers has proven to be best calculated to attract young men, and, consequently to insure husbands. Music, dancing, French and Italian, are considered indispensable to the "finish" of any young lady, in these degenerate days, but the more solid qualities which, in the olden lime, were esteemed so neces ear) io the female catalogue of charms in the 'good old times,' are out of date. In Booth, they are pronounced in elegant society, de trop, and stigmatized as vulgar. The woman who, not many years ago, was a non-proficient in the culinary art, and inexpert with her needle, was deemed an until candidate for matrimony. If she could not make a rare pie, dish up a meal in a peculiarly attractive style, turn out a superior loaf of bread, knit a pair of stockings with taste, and sew up garments with exem plary celerity, ehe was shunned by the male sex, and pitied by her own, as sad ly defective. But now, tout vela eat change I The woman dexterous iu such performances demonstrates her own on httess for position in the world of fash ion. Husbands area.. supposed to live upon the sound of a piano, and to be ready, in the most diatre sing moments, to go off into harmonious ecetacies at the first intimation of a brilliant duet. They are presumed to be totally indiffer tent in respect to what they eat or wear —to have a noble contempt fur such vulgar things 1/13 ehirt buttons—to can• template a Woman too imaginatively to suspect her culpable of a knowledge of anything but the toilette and belles let tree. With this ideal conception of the character of a husband in their minds, young ladies necessarily aim only at the acquisition of corresponding qualifica tions. They aim at sentimentality and romance, instead of substantial common sense, and permanent information ! The result is an exuberance of satisfac tion during the halcyon days of court ship, and the saccharine hours of the honeymoon ; but, when the angel of a wife' subsides, in time, into the Weep able domestic partner, and the ' love of a husband ' degenerates into the satia ted master of the house, then comes a season of remorse, of melancholy, of mutual recrimination and mutual animos ity. Should fate make such a helpless wife a widow, and necessity throw her upon herown resources for the support of herself and family , unhappy indeed must she be in her destitution: Her expensive accomplishments will neither provide bread fur her children nor con solution for herself. Music will riot ell ence the cry of hunger; dancing will not exercise the guaut fiend we call Want. Sorrow refuses to submit to the syren song of an affected mirth. Sel dom can one of these wasted talents be turned, in such a dilemma, to available account; and all the precious years in vested in the accumulation of those showy nothings, present themselves like so many ghosts of mis spent moments, but to chide the past for its extrava gance, and fill the future with apprehen sions. Who has not seen instances of just such calamity ? Whose experience is not fraught. with some such scenes of anguish ? And yet, bow slight an ele ment of hope would alter the picture— how small a knowledge of the business relations of life—how little an acquain. tance of those homely arts which enable the feeblest by their industry, spirit, taste, or remunerative enterprise, to cotnpletely change the view, cheer up the desponeent, add a silver lining to the cloud of grief, and produce a vision of comfort, if not of independence ! Why not, then, 0 mothers of A ineriCa educate your daughters to a familiarity with thsngs useful as well as ornamental ? Why not—oh ! why not—make them practical, as well as interesting members of society ? A beautiful thought i 8 suggested in the Korea :—"Angels, in the grave, will not question thee as to the amount of wealth thou bast left behind thee, but what deeds thou hest done while in the world, to entitle thee to a seat among the blest." The children or Israel were once se verely punished for adoring a false calf. Let the ladies take warning. From what did the old fashioned horse pistol derive its name f From its habit of kicking.
