RALPH HASKINS. nov 18?eotf I GOLDEN RULE8 FOE WIVES To WivEs.-tfhe first inquiry of a woman after marriage should be, How 1 LT176,1116 1 won?" 1. Endeavor to inako your husband's lit1vUnDg and deli6htful to him. Let it be to him a sanctuary to which his heart may always turn from the calami ties of life. Make it a repose from his cares, a shelter from the world, a home not for his person only, but for his heart. He may meet with pleasure in other houses but let him find pleasure in his iWU'if50Ui hM 1x5 ^J^ted. soothe him should he be silent or thoughtful, do not heedlessly disturb him; should he be studious, favor him with all practicable facilities or should he be peevish, make allowance for human nature, by your sweetness and good humor. Urge him continually to think, though he may not say it, this woman is indeed a comfort to me j I cannot but love her, and requite her gentleness and affection as they de serve. 2. Invariably adorn yourself with deli cacy and modesty. These, to a man of refinement, are attractions the most high ly captivating, while their oppoaites never fail to inspire disgust. Let the delicacy and modesty of the bride be al ways, in a great degree, supported by the wife. J 3. If it be possible, let your husband suppose you think him a good husband, and it will be a strong stimulus to his being so. As long as he thinks he pos sesses the reputation, he will take some pains to deserve it, but when he has once lost the name, he will be apt to abandon the reality. 4. Cultivate and exhibit, with the greatest care and constancy, cheerfulness and good humor. They give beauty t the finest face, and impart charms where charms are not. On the contnuy, a gloomy, dissatisfied manner is chilling and repulsive to his feelings; he will be very apt to seek elsewhere for those smiles and that cheerfulness which he finds in his own house. o. In the articles of dress, study your husband's tastes. The opinion of others on the subject is of but very little conse quence, if he approve. 6. Particularly shun what the world calls in ridicule, "curtain lectures."! When you shut the door at night, en- deavor to shut out at the same moment: all discord and contention, and look on your chamber as a retreat from the vex ations of the world a shelter sacred to peace and affection. How indecorous, offensive, and sinful it is for a woman to exercise authority over her husband and say, I will have it so. It shall be as I like.'* But I trust the number of those who adopt this un becoming and disgraceful manner is so small as to render it unnecessary for me to enlarge on the subject. 7. Be careful never to join in a jest and laugh against your husband. Con ceal his fauks and speak only of his mer its. Shun every approach to extrava gance. The want of economy has in volved millions in misery. Be neat, tidy, orderly, methodical. Rise early, have a place for everything and everything in its place. 8. lew things please a man more than seeing his wifc notable and clever in the management of her household. A knowl edge of cookery, as well as every other branch in housekeeping, is indispensa ble in a female, and a wife should always i endeavor to support with applause the' character of the lady and Che house wife. 9. Let home be your empire?your world. Let it be the stage on which, in the varied character of wifc, of mother, and of mistress, you strive to shine. In its sober quiet scenes, let your heart cast its anchor, let your feelings and pursuits all be centered. Leave to your husband the task of distinguishing himself by his valor or his talents. Do you geek for fame at home, and let your applause be that of your servants, yofir children, your husband, your God. A lf?W GUANO DEPOSIT DISCOVERED BY AMEEICAKS. [From the Loudou Times, November 25.J Advices from St. Thomas by the last West India mail give some particulars of the guano discovery lately made in that vicinity at a spot called Aves, or Bird Island, stated to belong to the Dutch gov ernment. The deposit was found by the master of an American ship, called the Kentucky, and the quantity is said to be equal to 300,000 or 400.000 tons, while its quality approaches that of the Chincha Islands. Two American vessels, the Kentucky and the Comery, were already taking car goes from it, and they are said to have landed fifty men to occupy the place, and to drive off intruders, with two pieces of cannon. If the estimates of quantity and quality should be realized, the value of the island will be very great, but the lo cality scarcely warrants an expectation of the deposits being nearly equal to the Peruvian. Aves island is one of the leeward group of the West Indies, and lies between the 15th and 16th degrees of north latitude, and 63d and 64th degrees of west longitude. The island here referred to lies east of St. Thomas, towards Barbadoes, and has been frequented more or less many years past by birds'-egg-hunters. The island forms a sort of basin, with a rock-bound rim toward the sea, and is frequented daily during certain seasons of the year by myriads of sea-birds to lay their eggs. Ihe egg-hunters from the neighboring islands go there with small sloops, and upon their arrival proceed to break all the eggs that they find, and then retire. On the following day they return, and load their vessels with eggs that hare Uen laid oyer night. In the course of thirty hours, they will sometimes take up between one hundred and fifty and two hundred thousand eggs. The rea son they break the eggs lying on the THE WFEK!V RTAil. r?? flOMN. copie*. w Ttn do iimim Twenty do......... II ec. l.J Our city has probably never been the theatre of so desperate and savage pugil ism as occurred on Saturday oetween two negroes, back of the barber shop on Main street, near the City Hotel The belligerents were a notorious bul ly, formerly from Terre Haute, who was the terror of ihe police of that place, having cleaned them all out on several occasions, and who undertook to ride rough-shod over our city offioers last spring, but finally got into the clutches of Jeff," and was compelled to submit, after being severely dealt with, indeed crippled in his left arm for life, and the other a notorious bully named Jones, who has been employed for years on the packets as a fighting man. Both were athletic, courageous, desper ate negroes. They quarreled about a game of cards, when Jonas seized an ax and struck the old negro, whose name we have not learned, in the forehead, knock ing a hole through his skull, half the size of the poll of the ax. The blow, how ever, did not fell the old negro, who, not withstanding his left arm was fastened in a sling, from the mauling he received by Jeff early in the spring, insisted upon fighting it out, and at it they went in the back yard. The battle lasted at least half an hour before the police arrived to separate them. They were both clinched on the ground, their heads and chests pounded to jelly, their ejes half gouged out of their sock ets, Jonas's lip entirely off, the old man's upper lip also hit almost off, dangling on his chin. Notwithstanding tbe disadvantages the eld negro labored under, with a hole in his skull which would have killed a white man, and one arm in a sling, he had the advantage of Jonas, and was giving him the best turn in the shop." It was with great difficulty they could be separated, so firmly did the old man cling with his legs around his antagonist. They both presented a frightful appear ance as they were marched off to the Mayor's office, and finally to jail. They are both desperadoes, and the only regret we bear expressed is that they were not both killed in the affray. What a pity such heroism, such strength, such indomitable courage, could not be put to better use. But such is human nature in an uncultivated state. A FAD FEB ON HORSEBACK. Six Thousand Doll-is Lost in a C ambling Roc zi. [From the Cincinnati Cazette. Dec. 13.] About a month since, we stated that a poor mechanic, residing on Seventh street, in this citv, named Wm. L. Walker, had received the intelligence of the death of an uncle in the city of Baltimore, by which he eame into possession of $9,000, all in cash. Mr. Walker, immediately on receipt of this intelligence, gave up his situation in Henderson's carpenter shop, aud started for the Monumental city to receive his fortune. Upon his ar rival in Baltimore, he learned that the money to which he had fallen heir was in such a condition that it could not be obtained for six months. Young Walker, anxious to get the money on sight," offered to take eight thousand five hundred dollars for the whole amount, and finally did sell his claim for eight thousand. Overjoyed at the success which had attended mm, he hastened back to his home. Five hun dred dollars was expended the next day after his return in purchasing new furni ture, etc., for his house. The old furni ture was sent to Woodruff's and dis posed of at auction, the whole being sold for $47, such was its inferior character. Walker, with his little family, rented a house on Longworth street at $300 per year, and expended quite a(um in hav ing it repainted and whitewashed. Then, feeling himself independent enough to play the gentleman, Walker commenced frequenting the saloons and restaurants on Third street in the day time, and the theatre at night. He made acquain tances speedily, and very liberally treated them to oysters and other refreshments, and in return his new friends invited him to play billiards and cards at their expenses. The new sphere in which he was en joying himself so eclipsed his better judgment, that he was soon persuaded to visit the gambling rooms. At first he won at nearly every game, and accumu lated nearly $300. Might after night he continued to visit these sinks of iniquity, one of which is located on Third street, until he lost over six thousand dollars of the fortune he had received but a few weeks before. Walker says that when he lost $4,000 of the money, he intended to 8top, but continued the game hop ng to retrieve his loss. He has now, how ever, stopped, and has sought redress in one of our courts of justice. Besides the fine furniture, clothing, &c., he purchased, he has only $1,700 of the $8,000 left, but promises, no doubt sincerely, that he will hereafter remain at home, studiously determined not to squander what is left, but resume his daily labor and attend closely to the in terests and welfare of his family, and the requirements of morality. [?7* Whatever amount, of 44ooomg" there may be in our honeymoon, we may be pretty sure of haying a fearful amount Qf billing" afterwards.

Two bottles of Carter's .Spanish Mixture cured him, and in an editorial notice as above, they bear testimo ny to its wonderful effects, and say their only regret is, that all sufferinn with disease of the blood are not aware of the existence of such a medicine.

Smuggling?Fire?Death of a Physician, Ac Boston, Dec, 16.?The Custom House au thorities of this city seized last night about twelve hundred dollars worth of sogers, smug gled into port by a bark from Havana. The depot of the Boston and Maine Railroad at Lawrence was destroyed by fire last even ing The loss on the building is $5,000 ?on freight not yet ascertained. The depot also oontained a large amount of inward freight, including a eonsiderable quantity of flour, but the loss will not fall upon the company. Dr. Samuel Parkman, an eminent surgeon, died in this ci.y this morning. The failure of the Glendon Iron Mill Com pany was announced here to-day, and it was Roon afterwards ascertained that on Monday last the superintendent, Mr. Brevoort, who is well known in the cities of New York and Philadelphio, had left for parts unknown. Oa i he Wednesday following tbe company had received a letter from him, in which he stated that he was a defaulter, and added that It was useless to pursue him, as he would not be taken alive. The defalcation is estimated at two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The failure of Messrs. Cutler, Brodhead A Clapp, extensive stock and exohange brokers of this city, was announoed to day Their li abilities are not supposed to be large. There has been a severe run upon tne Prov ident Savings institution in this city, to-day, and in all about $100,000 were withdrawn from it, principally by the Irish and German depositors.
