LOVE AND MARBIED LIFE.-That the
love of married life aud the love of courship
are dissimilar. is perfectly true; the latter IS
the love of ideaism. the former is the love Of
reality. The angel of the expectant lover

love is fled, because, a0bo can kore q 1cOasan?
We can, and what Is more to the purpose,
we do, The affection that links man and
wife, is far more holy and enduring pas
sion than the enthusiasm of young love-It
may want lis gorgeousness, it may want its
imaginative power, but it is far richer in ho-
ly and trusting attributes. Talk not TO US of
the absence of love in wedlock! What be-

desiring him 10 run second time, they, at

Mr. John c. Clark took occasion on Tuesday
10 .lret and strut his li,le hour upon the stage,
in a speech, which. having been duly conned

The orator appeared 10 propose TO himself, as

iapt branch Of national affairs, will, we doubt
not. be quite satisfactory 10 the whole country !;
the subject may now be considered as put al

And il is the less excusable in Mr.. Clark, be-
cause there is another subject-quite as ger
main to the matter in debate as any that he in

eloquent aud original. On his way from Che

A GLANCE AT THE PAST.

A few days only Of The 9Th Congress now
remain. 'sFor better for worse" il has been
of logger duration, L. e. has been 10 session
larger number oil days than any, perhaps, on re-
cord. The extra session was urged upon
seemingly controlling necessity, and though we
cannot think the emergency was so pressing as
represented, still the motives that induced It's
summons with many may have been pure. We
like not TO recall many OF its acts-for good or
for evil they have become fixed in the minds OF
men-and foolish and inconsderate, as we can
not but hold the conduct of many of the leaders
of the dominant party, we are charitable
enough, calling to mind the in6rmity of our
common nature, 10 ascribe certain proceedings
beyond the pale OF decorum and sound judg-
ment, rather to the turbulent, unrestraued feel
ings incdenl upon the flush of victory, than to
dishonest intention.
Hasly legislation ever induces a fatal series
of enduring consequences, and ofentlmes the evil
thong ht TO he remedied, becomes more disastrous
" confirmed through immaturty of the purposed
mode Of reform. Particularly with fnan-
cill is it, as with the disorders Of the body. The
diseases induced from bad diet, from stimulants
of excessive strength, from neglect, or other
equally potent causes, require much medicinal
attention and no little time for cure. And a
currency, unhealthy stimulated at one time,
sported with at another rashly tempered with
a, all times, can alone be restored by return 10
regular treatment, and, particularly, abstemlous
habits.
The jocose propositions for regulating insti-
tuition, denominated Fiscal for the purpose of
conveying some tangible idea, which were
hurried through the two Houses at the extra
session, never even with the assent of the con-
stitutiona Executive, could have been ma
tured into vitality. They were toe lugu-
brious for ridicule perhaps and decided
ly too jejune for serious argument. As
jeux d'esprits Of legislation, they may
be commended; but we would respectfully
suggest to the distinguished economist who pre-
pared them, the consideration that efforts at le-
gislation, innocent of designed accomplishment,
had as well perhaps be confined TO the closet,
for which they were intended, as subjects for
triAing argument-not proposed to grave legis-
latve assemblies 10 occupy time better devoted
to objects of practical results.
If the Democrats be gratefully indebted to the
President for his vetoes of two bills, in which
they discovered latent powers of mischief the
Wings should be no less to the same individual
for his saving their party from the fatal rldicule
and contempt to which the consummsIion Of
their purposed plans would have consigned them.
