Drcnivs’ Pieruas or Wosssu.——Tbe true woman, for whose ambition a husband's love and her children’s ador- ation are sufficient,‘ who applies her military instincts to the discipline of her household, and those legislatlve exercise themselves in making laws for her nurse ; whose intellect has ﬁeld enough for her in communication with

her husband, and whose heart asks no other, than his lovel and admiration ; a woman who does not think it a weali~l ne'ss to attend to her toilet, and who does not disdain to}

be beautiful; who believes in the virtue of glossy hair, and well-ﬁtting gowns, and who eschews rents and ravel-I ed edges, slip-shod shoes and audacious make-ups, a wo-. man who speaks low and does not speak much; who is: patient and gentle, and intellectual and industrious ; who love more than she reasons, and yet does not love blindly; who never scolds and never argues, but adjusts with a smile ; such a woman is the wife whom have all dreamed of once in our lives, and is the mother we still worship in the backward distance of the past.

VALUE or EDITORIAL Tine IN Srnivs:v.—The author of an article in a late number of Chambers’ Journal; des- criptive of life in Australia, thus describes his visit to an editor in Sydney :—“ At my ﬁrst call, I came to the pal- ace-like house, the ground occupied by the printing office. On the ﬁrst ﬁoor, among the other advertisements, Ifound a tablet informing visitors, that the editor cannot be spo- ken with, unless paid for his valuable time; accordingly every body, without exception, is advised to buy a ticket of admission at the door of the waiting-room—-one hour costing l0s., half an hour 65., ﬁfteen minutes 3s. Such were the contents of this singular price-ciirrent of time.”

A GREAT Ca'rrr.s R.sisna.—The greatest cattle raiser

in this country, perhaps in the world, is B. Harris; Esq., of Champagne, Illinois. A late number of the Albany Knickerbocker thus speaks of his operations :-—- . “ Some of the finest cattle we ever saw were brought to this city last Saturday, on the Central Railroad. There were thirty-four head, with an average weight of two thousand four hundred pounds. They sold for ten cents a pound. live weight, which is equal to $240 each. They were grown by B. F. Harris, of Champagne, Illinois, who has one hundred head of the same weight still to bring to market. Mr. Harris is one of the largest stock farmers in the world. His farm contains four thousand acres. He kept usually about 500 heads of hogs. About the first of May he turns the cattle on the prairie, and they graze under the control of mounted herdsmen, who pen them at night. By the first of autumn, his herds, with the wide range of rich prairie, reach the climax of bovine perfection, and a more attractive sight cannot be found. Through the winter, those intended for spring sale are stall-fed, requiring 100 bushels of corn to feed a good sized ox. In the winter of I848 -'49, this gentle- man stall-fed 982 cattle, and bought 69,000 bushels of corn. In the year 1853, Mr. Harris fed and sold a hund- red head of boeves; their average weight l,966 pounds. These were the extraordinary lot which took the premium at the World's Fair at New York. The average of cat- tle herds usually marketed will not exceed 1,500 pounds gross.

The edges of the sheets, which are proposed to be from one-fourth to three-fourths of an inch in thickness, are to be cemented by heat, and the gum, it is believed will be as durable as the wood inself. -—New York Commercial.

These little bundles sell at from two to six sous. Larger sticks are bundled up in _the same way, and sell at a fri htful price.

Oi.n BriavLoN.—Dr. Oppert, of France, has spent two years on the site of old Babylon, examining the cunei- form incriptions on the bricks and slates. He states that this famous old city, in the days of its grandeur and power, covered rather more than an area of 290 square miles, being about two and a half more than the site of London. But all this space was not inhabited, there being immense fields to supply the city with corn and pasture in case of siege.

WILD Bsssrs IN INDlA.—-The following is from a cor- respondent at Lahore, dated the 7th of Feburary :— “You are probably aware that the country of the Five Rivers is infested by wolves. bears. and leopards, espe- cially the first-niuncd, which ll{l\'t! so multiplied oflate as to become a national nuisance. By aloosc registry; kept in the seven provinces of the Punjab, it appears that the number of children thathave been carried off by wild beasts amount to 1564, classiﬁed as follows :—ll06 by wolves, 334 by bears, and 154 by leopards or cheetahs. The rewards hitherto offered were not sufticient to induce the lusty and the venturesome to make a trade of it, an the various patches of jungle are admirably adapted for the shelter of these beasts, and as barriers to the ama- teur hunter. Mr. Mont omery has purposed to Govern- ment two alternatives, th admirable, and to be expec- ted from a man of his sound sense and penetration. First, that the head-money allowed for such beasts be doubled and even trebled ; second)’. if . Govemmem should refuse to increase the premiums, that 200 well armed and trainedshikarries be engaged by the State, and distributed over the infested provinces.”—Indian Paper

RUSSIAN INPERIAL MANIFESTO.

The following is a translation of‘ the imperial mani- festo, published at St. Petersburg on the 1st of A ril to announce the signing ofthe treaty of peace:-— P ’

A stranger to all interested views, he never expected that his just complaints (reclamations) would have resulted in the scourge of war; and considerimx its calamities with a deep feeling of sorrow as a Clirisriun and as the father of the people entrusted by Providence; to his care, he did not cease manifesting his inclination in favor of peace. But the negociations which were opened shortly before his death, on the subject of the conditions of that peace, which was a necessity for us all remained without success. ' The Governments which have formed a hostile coali- tion against us had not discontinued their armaments’ pending the ncgociations they had even increased them: the war had to follow its course, and we continued if with a firm hope in the protection ofthe Most High and ﬁrm confidence in the unshaken devotion of our well- beloved subjects. Ourexpectations were justified. Du- ring that period of hard trials our faithful and brave soldiers, as well as all our people, without distinction of gtiﬁts.

New and striking deeds 03 renown have marked this last struggle with powerful is versaries.

The enemy has been driven back from the coasts of Siberia, and from those of the White Sea, as well as from the ramparts of Sweaborg; the heroic defence for eleven months of the fortiﬁcations of the south side of Sebastopol, erected in the face of and under the ﬁre of the assailants, will be handed down as a record to the remotest posterity. ‘Iin Asia, after the glorious victories of the two pre- ce ing cam ai ns, Kiirs, was com elled to surre d with its nuriiergous garrison, formiiig the whole alini; ofAnatolia, and the elite of the Turkish troo s sent to relieve the place were compelled to retreat.p Never- theless, by the impenetrable and wise decrees of Pro- vidence, a fact was preparing conformable to the wishes of our well beloved august father, to our own, and to those of all Russia, and which realized the ob- jects of the war. The future condition and the privi- leges of all the Christians in the East are henceforl:ls~ guaranteed. The Sultan solemnly recognises them, and, consequent u on this act of 'ustice, the Ottoman empire enters intoptho family of European states. Russians! Your efforts and your sacriﬁces ham not been in vain. A great work has been accomplish- ed, although by other and unforeseen means, and we may now, with it quiet conscience, put an end to those eﬂbrts and to those sacriﬁces by restoring to our dear country the inestimabla blessings of peace. To hasten the conclusion of the treaty of peace, and to dispel, even for the future, the very idea of ambitious viewa or projects which might be attributed to us, we have consented to the adoption of certain precautionary measures destined to prevent a collision of our ships of’ war with those of Turkey in the Black Sea, and to the establlément olf)‘.a new frontier}; lil-r;e in the southern art o essara ia, nearest to t e ' anube.

peace?" which elicited the coilrteoss reply, “Sire, I come to ask it.” ' 4
