Wanted A Wife.

We imagine the author of the following is rather hard to please, but we think if any of our Isdy readers will fill the bill he wil make her s good husband. I want s wife s first rate wife A girl that's all my own, Tu rook my meals and cheer my life, W'th smiling word snd tons. I want a kind of apple girl, Uipe rosy-cheeked and sound; Whose tender feelings sorter quirl, And turn me all around. A girl with cheeks liks holly-bocks; Industrious, kind sod true, That's smart enough to foot my sock, A iid mend my clothes liks new. A girl that ne'er will pledge s vow To any chap but me: That's been brought op to milk a eow, And have warm cake for tee. Like tallow dips her eyes must beAs molting snd as bright; They'll do to court by, you see. And save suother fight. Site must be graceful aa the bell, Upon the lily found; And mke auch butter aa will sell Fur thirty cents a pound. MaMBRB" A Mil waukee young Isdy had her 'cap set for a rather large 'teller,' but failed to win him, when a confident friend tried to comfort her with theas wnrda: Never mind, Mollie, there is as good fish in sea as ever were caught.' Mollie knows that,' replied her littlebrother 'but she wants s whale.' 'Oli, pa, Mr. Smith was here thia morn ing, and when mi told him that you would not be at home till late, he said her lipa were like honey , and that he wished he was a bee, and then he kiased her.

In the United States Senate. May 9,1862, la reply to Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, epeaking of ths battle of Pittsburgh Landing; Key. James Harlan, of lows, seid: From sil that I can learo on the subject, I do not think that General Grant is fit to command a great army in the field. The lows troope bate been is bett.'e repeatedly under command of General Grant. They have no confidence In hie capecity and fitness of the bigb position be now bolds. They regsrd bim ss the sutbor of the seleee slaughter of many hundreds of their breve comredee in arme. It is not necessary, nor is it right, to compel them to serve under him. The speech of ths Sens tor from Ohio might if unnoticed, induee thoss in authority to continue bim in the field. I underetand he lias been virtually suspended; thst he now really has no command; that each division and army crops of the Western Department ;s under the commend of snotber Genersl, snd the whole under command of General Halleck; thst Genersl Grant is aecond in command of the whole, which ia, of courae, nominal. In my opinion he ought not to have multiplied thouaandaof men placed in his hands after the record which he has made. And the only practical tendency of that part of the speech of the Senator from Ohio would be to induce the President to assign him an active command. This I csu uot consent to have done in the presence of my countrymen, maimed ano elaoghteied, aa I be lieve, through hia careleasnese or incompetency. I say thia not on account of soy public or private grievance of a persenal nature. If my convictions are correct it would be s crime foi me to remsin si lent, end suffer influences to originate in the Senate chamber which may result in restoring a General to an active command whom I and the people I in part repreaeni deem unworthy of auch a truat. And he shall nut with my consent b continued in command. There is nothing in his antecedents to justify a further trial of his military skill. At Belmont he committed en eggregious and uopardondabls mil imry blunder, which resulted in almoat annihilating an Iowa regiment; At Fort Donelion the right wing of our army, which was under his immediate com mand, was defeated and driven back severs) miles from the enemy's works. The battle was restored by General Smith, the enemy's works were eto'med, snd thus s victor? wss finally won. Aid eo on tbe battle-field of Shiloh, hia army was completely surprised. ss I believe, from all the facta I can pro cure, on Sunday, and nothing but the stub born bravery of the men fighting by regiments aid brigades eaved tbe army from utter deetruction The battle wss afterward restored and conducted by General Buell and other Generals, who came on the Seid during the evening and night, and our torcea ultimately aucceeded in completely routing the enemy. Now, sir, wi.h such a record. those who continue Generel Grant in sn active command will, in my opinion, carry on their SRtrts tne niooe or inouesnns oi their slaughtered countrymen. With my convictions, I can neither do it myaelf not silently permit others to do it. -Congressional Globe, 2d 8ession, Thirty-seventh Congress, pages 2 086 snd 2,087 Memoria.

DefinedPa, what is a Radical? A. A Radical is a rapacious animal of the L'enns homo: a native of the N England Statee.Jbut occasionally found in the Middle and Western States; a Satanic spawn of Puritan parentage; conceived in sin, born in iniquity, nursed at the breast of ieal ousy and self esteem, rocked in tho cradle of prejudice and intolerance, educated in the school of low cunning; and foul ulav. and lives bv nublicand private plunder. Now, my son, since I have defined Radical, let me hear you parse it. A.
