'J he |io| uhtr (lehntichment it seems

To our mind the election by either
of the two great parlies of some great
civilian to the Presidency, animated
by a iosj ect for law and a reverence
for the Constitution and the institu
tions of the country, would be the
greatest of all blessings to the people
o! the whole country. With it would
come a recurrence of slate policies
and plate craft i:i it-< true sense in

capable of leinaugurating the rule of

From papers hitherto withheld the
dory of Andrew .Jackson's marriage
i-i now told correctly in the Cincin
nati {'oHimeh'iul for tlie first time.
Uuchel Douelsoiij his wife, grew up|
among ;hc stirring scenes ot frontier
life, und when yet in her teens mar
lied ( apt. Louis Uobards. Unbards
treated her so wretchedly that Peyton
Short a Virginia lawyer, wrote to
Mrs. Robards advising her to get a i
divorce. As was intended, the letter
l? ii into the husband's hands, the i>lea
being to provoke a duel. Instead of
lighting the craven husband tried to
blackmail Short for money. Mrs.
Kobards was taken by her husband
to Kentucky, where .she was placed
al a boarding house. Andrew Jack
son wa- a hoarder there, lie fell in
love with Mrs. Kobards, and having
learned that the Virginia legislature
had gr iiitcd her a divorce, married
her Two years alter the marriage
he heard to his horror, that his wife
had been divore? d at all. He sei
to work, however, got tin-divorce, |
and in 17'.'I he \va? remarried.

IV Ii at ES? jVM .Should BJe.
First: Hu true?be genuine. No.
education is worth anything that
docs not include this. A man had
bettor not know how to rend?he had
better never leurn'a^letter of the al
phabet, nnd l)e true and genuine in
intention-and action, rather than be
big learned in nil'sciences andjhingu
nges, to beat the'sam c time fal'se^iu'
heart and counterfeit in life. Above
nil things, h'lhc 1 oys^thal truth
is moic than riches, more than cul
ture, inore^thnn', earthly\ power or
position.
Second : He pure in thought,
language?pure in mind ..and body.
An impure man, young'or old, poison
ing the society whore he moves with
smutty "stori >s 'and impure examples
is a moral ulcer, a plague spot, a leper
who ought to he treated as were the
lepers ol old, who wore^to cry, '?Un
clean !" as a warning to s.ivj others
from the pestilence.
Third : He unselfish. To "care for
the feelings and comfort of other's.
To be 'polite. To be just in allhl ?til
ings wiih others. To lie generous,
noble,and manly. This-will incltt le'a
genuine revcreuco for the aged and
thi?gs s tcred.
Fitirtli: lift self-reliant and self
helpful even from early childhood.
To be industrious always , and self
supporting nt. the earliest proper^age.
Teach them that all honest work is
honorable, and that an idle, useless
life of dependence on otheri is
disgraceful.
When a boy has learned these four
things, when he has made these ideas
a part ofjiis-bcing,?however youug
be tuny be, howevbr;poor, or however
rich,?he has learned some of the
ino^t iinpurtant things he ought to
knowawhen he becomes a man. With
these four properly mastered, it will
be easy to find all the rest.? Home
Arts.
The True Gentleman.
Christianity is Olid of the most
gent" i man)}' things in"\he woild. It
will make a lady or gentleman of one
who knows but I ittle ol the forms nf
politeness. The Iliblo does not pre
tend to leach manners in dcttiil/nor
does it profess to be a manual of
politeness, but nevertheless it/n tho
book best suited to produce-iiijany
community true gentility. Wejhavo
in thing in ihe Testament, Old or New,
thai leaches how low to bow.on enter
ing a roam, or .how we are to deport
our lives in the ball room, or any such
thing; but we have what is far better.
We are taught tobe kind to all, to
love all, to respect age, to be merci
ful, courteous; "n ?t to behave our
selves unseemly,'' ''not to think ofour
selvi" more highly than we ought,"
and to esteem others better than our
selves. With these things properly
engraved on the heart, Christiana
will intuitiv jly be the most agr eeable,
polite pe pie in the world.
ISecKIeKsiiesH of IAfe.
The evidence adduced in the great
majority of the trials, and the circum
stances of tho homicide.-' as told by
correspondents, show that they aro
attributable in great measure to tho
reprehensible and inexcusable, habit
ot carrying concealed wcopbns. We
had almost despaired of inducing our
Legislature to put a stop to this evil
practice; but the press cannot escape
the responsibility of bringing it. us
far as lies in its power, mi lor the
ban ot public opinion, and we hope
(bat our contemporaries will not bo
discouraged because their first,sec
ond or third efforts in the direction of
this important popular reform may
have been fruitless. The Slate Sen
ate, we are glad to see. is at last,
moving in the mattor. This is well.
Let the newspapers keep up tho agita
tion, and in the. en I they are ?uro to
obtain the desired ro operation ol the
