Editor Dayton Journal ; You publish a good many pieces, de scribing very minutely, sometimes, the duties of wives, and I think it would not be at all cibjtdionablt to intimate in a plain way tbat the defects which the newspapers qre constantly attributing; to the female branch of the matrimonial partnerships, might be removed very easily if the head of the firm were hfoiiclf'a little nearer perfection than he proves to be. I shall be obliged to you, if .you will publish the following which I cut from a newspaper. AMELIA. . It is enough to male e us married women sick to see the nonsense that, men put into the papers. On one particular head requirements for wives-r-there is enough absurdity uttered in one month to do for the whole twelve months of the year. Now, if men were angels, or demigods. there might be some reasons in their re quiring angels and goddesses for mates ; but when it is remarked what a poor, im perfect, unreliable, unreasonable, un meritorious set they are, their "face" in setting up such claims would be perfectly amazing and unaccountable, were it not for the well known self-estem of the species. . Suppose, just for a moment, that any woman could be found sufficiently refined. beautiful, good, attractive, and rich, for all the preposterous demands that are made, where would she find a mate meet for her? Does any one suppose that such a paragon. of perfection would stoop to wed with a mere mortal man, who would most certain ly shock her to death by mortal vulgari ties and faults? As women are, they have plenty to do to "swallow" all that is mingled with their cup of life when their fate has 'actually given them over into the power ot men. It is ba.barity to wish them to be any more' refined and "delicate; it is prodigali ty to desire them to beany more beautiful or desirable than they are considering they are made for men. Women are faulty creatures that is not denied. They have abundant reasons to be ashamed of themselves that is freely owned. They are foolish, weak, and in too many respects nicked that they are always falling- in love wilh men is proof enough of that. But we return to our proposition, and we do most emphat ically, distinctly, and unqualifiedly declare, they are good enough for men. We wish oh! earnestly, sincerely, yearninglj7 it were not so; we wish they were not "good enough." Not that they were less perfect than they are, but that men were all so just, so noble, so true, so large-hearted, so afi'ectionate, so alto gether admirable that they would deserve perfection in their wives. Then there would be some sense and encouragement in trying tq improve. But what induce has a woman tq epdeavor tq come up to the mark of "the high calljug" of a wife? As soon as she is a wife, or at most, as soon as her husband has recovered from the first overpowering sensation and con viction cf matrimony, and arrived at the sensible conclusion that he is not, after all, the first and only case of the kind that ever occurred that other men bpsides himself really have been married he begins to criticise his wife's daily life and conversation. Familiarity has robbed her manners of the charm they once had for him ; and he begins to admire the charms of other women, not because they are really better, but because they are new to him. I: matters not at all how beautiful may be the face that every morning he sees beside him on the pillow he soon forgets to speak, or even to think of its familiar J beauty, and saves all his starts and excla. nations of admiration for that, of other men's wives and daughters. His wife's taste may be of the very finest order, yet, in nine cases out of ten, he will praise the dress and appearance of other women more than he will her?. If her style of dress be showy, he will call her extravagant if it be plain, he will call her dowdy. If her disposition be cf a lively, playful turn, he will check her for her "wild and childish ways;" and and if she be given to retirance, he will call her dull or sullen. What is queenly dignity in another woman will be stiffness and haughtiness in his own wife. What is grace and sweet ness in another will be affectation and shall woness in her. When he has exclaim ed in rapture over the eleeance, of some woman's attire, and his wife attempts to give him a similar pleasure by arraying herself in a similar style, he .will rail at her for wearing her clothes so tight as to stop circulation, (she may not be laced one-third as much as her model, )'so long a3 to sweep the streets, and so full that she looks like a balloon blown up. He will Gleclare that she has ne ton. many petticoats, ; that her sljo?s are too small, that her dress is too high or too low in the neck, and he never could bear to see short sleeves, that he is "reallv almost ashamed to be seea with such a figure on his arm." . Now we would ask, in all humanity. what encouragement there can possibly he for woman to try to improve themselves for the' sake of ihose beings who are sure. the moment thev feel secure in their pos session, to see in other woman two charms to where they see one in their own wives? Let men learn to be model husbands, and there is not one shadow of doubt but what there will soon be enough and to spare, unfortunately, of the material out of which to make "model wives." Begin at ihz beginning, sirs. Historical Facts Worth Prcservln The Saxons first introduced archery in the time of the Voltigeur. It was dropped immediately after the Conquest, but re vived by the Crusaders, they have felt the effects of it from the Parthans. Bows and arrows as weapons of wat, were in use with stone cannon balls, as late as 1640. It is singular that all statutes for the encouragement of archery, were framed after the invention of guupowder and fire arms. Yew trees were encour aged in the churchyards for making of bows in 1742. Hence their generality in churchyards at the present time. Coats of arms came in vogue in the reign of Richard I. of England, and be came hereditary in families in the year 1192. They took their rise from the knights painting their banners with dif ferent figures, to distinguish them in the Crusades. The standing army of modern times was established by Charles VII. of France, in 1455. Previous to 'that time the king had depended on his nobles for contin gents in the time of war." A standing army was first established in England, in 1638. by Charles I. but it was decided illegal, as well as .the organization of Royal Guards, in 1379. The first per manent military band instituted in Eng land, was the yeomen of the Guards, es tablished in 1466. Guns were invented bv Swartz, a Ger man, about the year- 1378 and were brought into use by the Venetians, in 1382. Cannons were invented; at an anterior date. They were first used at the battle of Cressy, in. 1445. In Eng land they were first used at the seige of Burwick, in 140-j. it was not until 1544, however, that they were cast in England. l hey were used on board of ships by the Venetians, 1735; and were used - Rmong the Turks about the same time. An ar tilery company was instituted in Eng land for weekly exercise, in 1610. Drinking anions Young Men. The Philadelphia Sun says truly that indiscriminate drinking among our young men eventually makes its mark upon the population of our cities. We can see it already betraying itself in the rising generation. It is impossible for any man to drink even pure liquors six or seven times a day without suffering severely in constitution. And when he transmits t-his impaired constitution to his son, who in turn impairs it still further by the same course, it requires ljttle foresight to see that we are preparing a population for our cities that will not, in physical frame, be much better than the wretched Aztecs. This love qf drink and bar-rooms is every day increasing. Every day sees our youth becoming more and more the victims of this habit; for we really think it more of a habit then a passion. It is no love of jovility that tempts them, except in a few cases. It is not the hot exuberance of the youth; it is not the evanescent impulse of the gay young fellow who is sowing his wild oats. It is, as has been said, a cold, deliberate, confirmed habit. No atmos phere of recklessness surrounds the drinking groups, except on occasion; and no peals of merriment atone for the act by proving that it is at least unusual. A grim and melancholy air pervades rach countenance. The drinks are poured out, he glasses are raised and touched with a loathsome air of custom, and each man swallows his portion with the same im passive countenance he would wear if he were drinking a glass of plain water. All the concomitants that partially redeem or excuse drinking, as far as it be redeem or excused, are wanting in this sad and ormal ceremony. Beautiful Anecdote. A happier illustration of the wonderful character of the Bible, and the facility with which even a child may answer by it the greatest of questions, and solve the sublimest of mysteries, was perhaps never given than at the examination of a deaf and dumb institution some years ajro in London. A little Doy wasasicea in writing "wno made the world?" He took the chalk and wrote underneath the question, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." The clergymen then inquired in a similar manner, "Why did Jesus Christ come into the world?'' A smile of delinht and gratitude rested on the coun tenance of the little fe'low as he wrote: "'fhis is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that, Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners." A 1 third was' then proposed, evidently adapted to call the most powerful feelings iuto exercise: ' ' "Why were yoa l orn draf and dumb, when I can hear and speak?" "Never,".said an rye-witness, "shall I forget the resignation which sat upon his countenance, as he took the chalk and wrote: 'Even so. Father, for so it seemed good m Thy sight.' " "I suppose, Jim, that if I were to jump into the water here I would find it aver my head and ears''. 'Over vour head, frank, but not over 1 your ears. , "sally, said a young m who hnb red hair' "keep away from me, or you' will set me afire."' ;;"No danger of that,"said she,"you are to green to burn." A Good Name. A good name is above all price. Have you not found it so, young man, you whose well known virtues have placed you in a position which you occupy with feelings of commendable pride ? And you whose fame has been the target of envious ton gues, have you not seen a good name to be the only breastplate that is impervious to the paisened sh af is of calumny i Gold and talent, what are these without char acter ? A light to render daskness visi ble: a gilding which by contrast makes the sudstance more revolting. Cherish it then, all ye who pissess it, gaurd it carefully for. depend upon this its purity onco tarnished, the most un wearying effort will hardly restore it to its pristine lustre. Let attend you through the journey through life, crowning your days with peace "and happiness. The rectitude which won it. will engrave upon your face a letter or recommendation to people of every nation and tongue. And when the treasure is no longer needful to you, it shall decend to your posterity, a legacy with which millions upon millions would not fear to be comparea. The First Silver Dollar Some years ago, in a quiet New Eng land village, as a pleasant curly-headed boy of about ten summers was crossing a pasture on his way to his day -3 work,he aw something bright upon the grass; and what should it be but a silver dollar. He did not run home to tell the glad news. nor away to a shop to spend it in cakes and candy, as many little boys would have done but went on and performed his day's work, like a man. At night his mother saw him coming home with a smile upon his face; she met him at the door, think ing he had some good news, when he op ened his hand and behold a "silver dollar.' "Now, mother ", said he, "if you will give me the bag, I will go and buy you some meal: and before, he entered the house to take any refreshment, he went away and paid his dollar for a bushel of meal. You might well expect the bless ing of God on such a son. It has attend ed him, and I think it ever will. He has carried out the same principle of kindness and benevolence thus far through life. Flowers ' I like to see flowers growing, but when they are gathered they cease to please. I look upon them as things rootless and perishable their likeness to life makes me sad. I never offer flowers to those I love I never wish to receive them from handsdear to me. Charlotte Bboxte Down-Fast Indians.
