Business €artis "An eminent philosopher onco declared that a woman should come abroad but three times during her whole life: first, to be baptized, then to be married, and lastly, to be entombed. Erroneous as this opinion may be, and different as a prison is from privacy, it cannot be donied that the highest honor to a woman, is a rational and virtuous retirement."

Between two and three years ago an elderly lady who now resides a little way from town, woalthy and honored, lived on Fourth street in the-city. She was honored then as now, but was rich only in good works. She was known as one of the cheerful of givers, and her work of judicious charity had made her seem like a good Providence to many a poor wretch. As we have said she was not rich, but her quiet bounty pat to the blush the ostentatious givings of many wealthy Pharisees. One evening a woman came to her door. She was a stranger, waa vary poor and very sick. She could not buy the privilege of a bed in whieh to lay her Belf, so she begged it of the charitable lady to whom she had been directed. She did not beg , in vain. She was welcomed, and a bed, need, ful medicine, and kit.d nursing were provided her. • PITTSTON, PENN'A.

RiCHABt:—I spent tho 4th of July in this beautiful city of Geneva, and there is probably no place in Europe where an American citizen could spend this most interesting anniversary of our country more pleasantly than hero. Switzerland is a republic, not indeed modelod after ours, but heartily in sympathy with us if we may judge from the exhibition of yesterday. In every direction the flag of Switzerland could be seen floating on the morning breeze, and by it the dear old flag of stars and stripes that has spoken to me so eloquently within the past tew weeks on tho Adiratic and on the Mediterranean, of my native land. In the evening all the hotels were illuminated and the people crowded the streets in a way that was suggestive ojthe 4th of July at home. One prominent feature of the entertainment of the evening was an illuminated steam-boat, with an elegant band »n it discoursing SwiBS and American airs, that floated up and down the Lake. From it were exhibited " fire-works," worthy of a 4th of July in Pittston or Wilkes- Barro. The whole boat sometimes appeared like a sheet of fire, while the cannon on the shore that have been heard on the side of liberty in days gone by, lifted up their voices, if not " in thunder tones," in tones that cchoed and rcechoed among these Alpine mountains, most marvellously, and that quickened the pulsations of not a few American hearts. Our landlord of the " Grand Hotel dS La Paix," who knows how to please Americans, and who has at his table not less than half a hundred of them, gave us a grand 4th of July dinner, and on the table there were more American flags than I ever saw on a table in America; from a pyramidal cake that stood in the contre of the table there floated not less than a dozen. The bill of fare -also.had on it as an ornament the American flag and the name of our beloved Washington—to whom God gave no children that his country might call him father. In the evening we extemporised a meeting in the drawing room of the hotel and passed some patriotic resolutions, and a vote of thanks to our landlord for his good dinner and fine music and splendid illumination in honor of our country. All this may appear as a very small matter to you, bat to Americans here it was very refreshing. We have the sympathy of lovers of liberty every where; and my impression is that to-day there is no nation on the earth more respected than oars. I have never been so proud of my country as since coming to Europe. While our war cost our country many procious lives and millions of treasure there can be no question but that it has given us a position among the nations of tho earth that we did not previously have.— Americans in Paris anticipated a celebration of more than usual interest there on the 4th, and they probably wcronot disappointed, but their celebration could not have been more pleasant than ours, on tho shores of tho beautiful lake that nestles so lovingly among the Alps.

REED * SCHOONMAKEB, Pbopbietoks. S. J. Km. U. G. Schooskakir. Oct. 4,1866.—ly No! Woman, virtues which shine brightly as thine, would be shorn of half their ldstre by being confined within the limits of the domestic circle. Retirement, instead of adding to, would detract from the honor due to thy virtues. The good man's character shines brightest in adversity. So with woman. An acquaintance with the world, the wants and woes, sorrows and sufferings of her fellow beings, awakens sympathies and emotions in her heart that will not be repressed. In the quiet indearments of her own home, in the prosperity of her own family, she forgets not the necessities of those around her. Like her divine Lord, she "goes about doing good." Often may her footsteps be traced to the abodes of wretchedness and misery ; and there, bending over the pale sufferer, her own eyes bedewed with sympathetic tears that flow at the sight of human suffering, she bathes the throbbing brow on which the death damps are gathering, directing by the eye of faith, the dying one to that better land where sin, sorrow, and suffering are unknown. Rear* ed amid refinement and affluence, and fair as the flowers that bloom in fragrance around her loved home, she thinks not when duty calls, but clad in the spotless robes of innocence and purity, she seeks out the fallen of her own sex, to save them from a life of shame and wretchedness, and a death of misery—throws over them the mantle of charity, and wi th kind words, and gentle admonitions, points them to paths of purity aad virtue, and bids them " go and sin no more." vy.RIGHT & HARRINGTON, ATTORNEYS -AT LAW, WILKES-BARRE, PA.

Law A Co.'s Cash Store, Main St., pARIS MILLINERY AND The next day she did not leave, nor the next, and before a week had passed the physician had pronounced her case to be the worst type of the small-pox. The sick woman grew rapidly worse, and it became evident that she must die. One night when the disease of this unfortunate woman reached its height, another unfortunate begged at the door for charity. It was a bare-footed woman with a small bundle in her hand- She was ragged, travel-worn and weary. From Greensburg, she had come on foot to the city, following her husband, who had come to Pittsburgh for work. Ha was near the town, somewhere, she knew, but she oould go no farther. She had no money, and must beg shelter until she could go on with her hands. She, too, was made welcome, and her wants carefully provided for, Still another visitor was under the roof that night. He was one who did not beg for a good gift, but had it urged upon him. In the lady's household was a pretty servant girl, who had achieved a conquest over the heart of one of h«r admirers.— His tactics had been as successful as hers, and he had won a similar vietory. He waa honest and affectionate, and meant sometime to marry the girl, but he was a discouragingly long time about it. He was poor, and could not marry until he became richer. The prospect of his becoming richer was one of the most distant in the world, and both of them became discouraged. Tho girl went with her trouble* to her mistress and was cheered. On the evening in question the derelict lover was seen to enter a house in the neighborhood, and to that house the lady immediately went to procure soma articles for her two -patients. Bhe requested the girl's lover to see her safe home. On the way she urged him to immediate marriage. It was impossible, he said. He had no place to take a wife, no place to stay himself, and no money to pay the preacher. No matter. He and his bride could stay at the lady's house, and a clerical friend would tie the knot for nothing.— So the matter was settled, and the couple were promptly married that very eveaing. Beforo tho preacher left he was summoned by tho physician to the bedside of the woman sick with the small-pox. She was dying, and in a very short time the roof that sheltered a newly wedded pair, covered also a loathsome corpse. Before midnight the doctor made another announcement The circle of guests which had beon broken just now by death, had been made complete again by a new life. The woman who had that evening obtained admittance to the house, had given birth to a child. So tho household had a marriage, a death and ar* birth in it, all in ono night. In due time the mother and child went on their way, and nothing more waa seen or hoard of them, until recently.

It is substantially and elegantly built, with an enterprising, well governed population of some forty thousand. It is beautifully situated at the outlet of Lako Geneva, just where tho blue and arrowy Rhone and the " turbid" Arva mingle their waters, commanding a fine view of Mt. Blanc, who sets as king among these high mountains, and surrounded by a rich and cultivated valley not unlike that of Wyoming. It has not such a history as some of the Italian cities I have visited, but Caesar speaks of it as having a name in his day. It was no doubt an old Rowan town and there are here still vestiges of Roman Mythology. There are no such galleries of paintings and statuary here as I saw in Rome and Naples and Florence, but Geneva has been the home of men whose names arc with us as house-hold words and its influence on the literature, secular and religions, of the world has been very great. The reformation of the 16th century to which we are so much indebted tor civil and religious liberty found some of its ablest supporters in Switzerland, and John Calvin who was a prominent leader among them lived and labored in Geneva for years. Although a Frenchman by birth, his life-work was done here. From persecution in Scotland, John Knox found an Asylum in Geneva where he studied and preached for several years, and really'prepared for the great work to which God had called him. Here too lived Rousseau and Voltaire, very different men indeod from those just referred to; but men who have left their mark on the world.— In the world-wide reputation of Saussare, Dumont and Sismomdi, Geneva claims an interest. Of Merle d'Aubigne, the author of the History of the Reformation, whose residence is here—- she is justly proud. Oneofthe Rothchilds has a magnificent residence here, and not a few of the rich men of Europe have villas on the shore of the Lako. The houso in which Gibbon completed the " History of Rome,"—greatly altered however, since he occupied it—is near Lausanne, some thirty miles from Geneva. July 23, iser.

These CHIMNEYS and FLUE9 are of Cast Iron, and will become indispensable wherever their peculiar merits are known. The experiments which for several months havo been in progress in Boston; looking to the successful application of petroleum as fuel for steamships, hare been watched with much interest, and their results haye been very important. These results, as claimed by the inventor of the system under trial, are a saving of four or fivo to one in space required for the storage of fuel, and of at least five-sixths of the labor required for feeding and tending the fires, to say nothing of the actual cost, which depends upon the relative prices of coal and oil. Application was mado to the Secretary of the Navy in November last, for opportunity to test the practicability of petroleum as fuel upon * Government vessel. The Bepartment had already, in 1382, appointed a committee of naval engineers to experiment upon this subject, and upon this application a Board of three Chief Engineers was ordered to examine the proposed experiments, the gunboat Paloa being selected for the trial. Previous to entering upon the petroleum trial, her engines were tested with coal, thirty-six revolutions per minute, with thirty pounds of steam, being obtained. ' In the first petroleum test, thirty-four revolution* were obtained with the same head of steam, and in the second test, fifty revolutions, with a pressure of thirty pounds. A comparison of the weight of the oil and the coal showed that one pound of oil had done the work of eight pounds of coal, and the general comparison of weight has shown one barrel of petroleum to be equal to one tun of coal.

JQOOK HERE! LOOK HEE ! ! Crude oils are used, of a gravity ranging from 31 to 47 degrees. Tho oil is first conveyed directly to a cast-iron retort, and vaporized by means of a slight fire underneath. Due proportions of steam and common air are incorporated with the vapor, and the gases thus evolved constitute the fuel. This burns with an intense heat, and the combustion iB so perfect that no smoke is visible at the outlet of the smokestack. The fire is under perfect control, and there being no ashes, clinker, nor refuse coal to clog the fires, they may be run an indefinite time without stoppage for cleaning. The burning of ooal upon the Palos required the services of twenty-one firemen and coal-passers; with the petroleum only three men were needed. This same principle may be applied locomotives as well as steamers, and, indeed, upon the Franklin and Warren Bailroad, in Wostern Pennsylvania, a petroleum burning apparatus has been successfully employed. The petroleum regions are making still further use of the oil by applying the necessary apparatus to the fires of the engine-houses at the wells, thus saving a very largo ontlay for wood or coal.

Here is a poor tempest-tossed wanderer, who has never known a home sinoe his boyish faet crossed that loved threshhold for the last time. His emotions are all of sadness. The joys of home are all past joys for him ; and in his heart is ail unsatisfied thirst, an ever-gnawing hunger after the pleasures which grow only around the altar of home. Perhaps he has lost his loved ones, and, homeless and friendless wanders an outcast upon the face of the earth. Even the sacred sorrows of home can never be of comfort to him. He cannot say, with hie heart overflowing with mournful love :—"I love his room, for here my honored father took me upon his knee and taught me to love the truth."

DOORS, BLINDS, PICTURE FRAMES Liberal S, Oh, if those who rule tbe destinies of nations wonld but remember how hard it is for the Tory poor to have engendered in their hearts that love of homo from which all domestic virtues spring when they live in dense and squallid masses, where social decency is lost, or never found ; if they would but turn aside from the wide thoroughfares and great houses, and strive to improve the wretched dwellings in by-ways where only poverty may walk—many low roofs would point more truly to the sky than the loftiest steeple that now rears proudly up from the midst of guilt and crime, and horrid disease, to mock them by its contrast. In hollow voices from workhouse, hospital, and jail this truth is preached from day to day, and has been proclaimed for years. It is no light matter—no outcry from the working vulgar — no jnero question of the people's health and comforts, that may bo whistled down on Wednesday nights. In love of homo the lovo of country has its rise; and who are the truer patriots or the better in time of need—thosa. who venerate the land, owning its wood, and stream, and earth, and all that they produce, or those who love their country, boasting not a tool of ground in all its wide domain?— Charles Dickens.

There is the house, where was once "lor him that "world of love at home." Thero his father, on his dying bed, gave him Ifis parting blessing. There his mother knelt beside him and prayed that her son might live a good and useful man. Every object rocalls acts and thoughts and dreams of youth. There is the barn where ho loved to tumble in the well fi lied mow : to the left is tho meadow whero he often sported amid tho now-mown hay; thero is the majestic old maple with its widej spreading branches, beneath whose Bhade ho built many an air castle whoso fabric faded with his dreams. gEWING MACHINES!
