MARRIAGE AT TIE EmGRANT OFFICE
\ man from the country, we believe a
Frenchmanby birth, entered the Emigrant
office, in the Park, this forenoon, in search
of Girl to assist him in his business. He
said he had land, cows, and other affairs
connected with farming, and he wished
some one to assist him. He selected a
young woman who had just arrived and
come to the office to obtain pccuniary as
sistancc. She hcsitated to 90 with him,
but finally he said, Il tell you what |
will do with you, will marry YOU" The
bargain was then quickly concluded. Aid.
James Kelly was sent for, but nothing ar
irving III season, Justice Blcallley happen
ed in, and fastened the connubial knot.
The half an hour before strangers but now
apparently well pleased man and wife,
then left the Office together for the new
home to the lady, in the country. Verify
time and chance doth happen to all men,
and to all women, too, as appears by the
present case.-EIchange Paper.

WORKING GIRLs.-Happy gitls. who
can but love them? With cheeks like
the rose, bright eyes and elastic step, how
cheerlully they 90 to work. Our reputa-
ton for it, such girls will make excellent
wives. Blessed indeed will those men
be who secure such prizes. Contrast
those who do nothing but sigh all day and
live to follow the fashions, who never
earn the bread they eat, or the shoes they
wear--who are languid and lazy from one
weeks end to another. Who but SIM
pleton and d popinjay would prefer one Of
the latterif he were looking for q compan-
ion. Give US the working girls. They
are worth their weight in gold. You
never see them mincing along, or jump
dozen feet to steer clear Of a spider or
fly. They have no alteration no silly
airs about them. When they meet you,
they speak without putting OH dozen
silly airs or trying to show off to better
advantage, and you feel as if you were
talking to a human being and not to a
painted, fallen angel.
Ii girls knew how sadly they miss ii
while they endeavor TO show off their
delicate hands and unsoiled skins, and put
on thousand airs they would give
worlds for the situation of the working la
dies, who are as far above them in intcli-
gence, III honor, in everything, as the
heavens are above the earth. Be wise
then, you who have made fools OF your
selves through life. Turn over . new leaf
and begin though late, to live and act as
human beings-as companions 10 immor-
tai man, and not play-things and dolls in
no other way can you be happy, and sub
serve the design of your existence.

SOUTHERN MANUFACTuERs.--N hail
it as one of the most suspicious signs OF
the times, that the whole South is awak-
ing to the importance of establishing man
ufactorics. Georgia has taken the lead,
South Carolina has followed, Alabama has
begun to move, and Louisiana is following
close in her footsteps. In the city Of n.
Orleans, we learn from the Picayune, books
of subscription to the stock of cotton
factory. which is to employ five thousand
spindlPs, have already been opened. We
hold this TO be the most sensible move
ever made by the citizens Of the great
Southern Emporium, and why il las not
been made before, we do not exactly IN
dcrstand. Surely, if there is any place in
the world better suited than another for
the manufacture of cotton, it is New Or
leans. We wish the projectors brilliant
success, and we have no doubt they Will
meet with it. Ii seems TO us, at tins dis
lance, with such an immense country rs
they will have to supply, almostimpossi-
bic for them tofail.-CUmJcriaud CiU.

The article below from the Vicksbufg Wing.
VIZ wish our own planters and farmers would
read. Association and interchange Of Opin-
ions will benefit them, as well as others,
"Reading in various papers in other States
many interesting reports of Agricultural As
sociations has influenced to suggest that War
rem county, and indeed, all the counties in the
State nigh t do well not to overlook this means
OF agricultural improvement. Such societies
have universally contributed much to the ad-
vintage as well rs to the pleasure of the farmer
and planter, wherever the y have been properly
organized and conducted. Their benefits have
been SO long tested and enjoyed, that no one'
we presume, would attempt tie urge an ob3ec-
ton to them. Why, then, do not many Of them
exist in Mississippi and why have not we a
Central State AgriCult ural Society uniting nu-
mcrous OnxiliaEies and dispensing onliVening
influences over our planting interests! 1t must
be because public attention has not been gen.
orally guided in that direction, for certainly il
thad been we should ere this have chronicled
many interesting facts and numerous excel
lent resultsin Agriculture which are yet watt
ing to be developed.
The planters Of Warren once tried to create
and sustain an agricultural soc ETY., but they
did not succeed to any enviablo extent. But
that is no reason why they should not make a.
mother trial. They may do much better next
time, if they will only go about the business in
a united and determined manner. This they
sh ould do, ii they have any just appreciation of
the real worth of that means of Improvement
which we are pressing upon their attention.
We have no doubt that with a little care
and energy the planters of Warren could orga-
nizo one Of the most intelligent and beneficial
agricultural societies in the Union. They
have the material to do SO, their interest would
be greatly subserved in this way, and we see
nothing which should prevent a consummatiou
SO desirable in every point ofview."

Tue LATE FRosTs-We learn from our ex'
changes extended over the whole State,in some
places accompani, d with snow. The dcstruc'
ton Of corn and cotton has been immense, and
in some parts there is a great deficiency Of
seed. Although the rains Of this week will dc
much towards bringing up the rePlanted seed
vet all should bear in mind that late crops
are more subject to injury from thoughts,
worms and other accidents, to which planter
and farmers are subject, than early ones Be-
sides, the two crops coming on together re.
quire more work and harder work to be done
in less time, and the wear and tear on hands
and stock will be much greater. =

Wo fnd the forowing passage in now work

We end the iollowing passage in a new work
on Masonry BY Charles Scott, Grand Master
Iof this State.
''The Holy Land is full Of the most sub
limo associations. A land Of the prophets, Of
inspiration and sacred SO rigs, A land of won
ders aud prodigies. There walked Divinity in
c%arnatei there lived, died, and rose again
the perfect man, who displayed the most
stapendous exhibition ms Of his love and mercy,
"Land Of the Saviour's lomb,'' says Lamartine
SIT is the boundary of two worlds, the ancient
aud modern, From this point issued a truth
that has renewed the universal civilization
that has transformed all things-a word that
has echoed over the whole world" While time
endures, the Holy m %Ountains will stand, and
those material ties and moral ties and moral
associations which bind them together will
never DO severed. Ararat, once submerged
with tho deluge, and on whose summit rested
the Ark of Noah, is continually increasing in
magnitude. Its snowy and frozen brow is dali
ly appr oachlng nearer and nearer the heavens.
Mount S sinai is a mass of eternal granite,
which MOTH ng but the consuming fires uf the
judgment can ever destroy. Htreb is a kin
dred summit which will ever look down upon
rich gardens and fertile valleys Hor is con-
socrated by the tomb Of aaron; Pisgah over
looked the promised land. Lebanon remains
sublime as the metaphors which the sacred
writer's derived from the celebrated mountain
Lebanon shall only fall by a Mighty One.-
On the top Of Carmel the faithful Elijah Of
iered sacrifice. "The excellence Of Carmel"
will endure forever. Tabor is mountain a.
part by itself and the scene Of the transigura-
ton. On the east of Moliah stands the Mount
OF Olives, fronting the temple hill. From this
mount the Lord assembled, in view of Calvary
and that sacred hill where stood that august
type OF this church, Mount MOriah! On thy
eternal summit the holy lodge was held
fathers worshiped there, illumed by the
lights of other days. An ascending Saviour
threw upon it a blaze of Immortality. The
transactions of that Mount, its beautiful and
sublime associations, their connection wi tn
events which transpired Oh the fraternity of
hills which had witnessed signs, tokens and
ceremonies, and heard the wOrshipers of true
God chanting the inspired songs of the proph-
ct king, all belong to our masonic lore"

ments and exhortations Of a milder character
would be more successful. After liste ming pa

G4Speaking Of MIR sTOmpkins, the Bran
don Republican says:
1t may be his ardent wish, as we have heard
it tntimated, to avoid a farther participation in
the strifes and perplexities Of public life but
he is 700 precious a feather in our political cap
to be plucked and laid aside thus early. Not
withstauding his opposition to public life and
however strong may be his hopes Of enjoying
the sweets Of r%etiraCy, he is too prominent
in the affections of the people to be overlook
ed, or to escape, however strong his desire, the
I" sweets of ofice.o He is a bold, able and
fearless man, and the people delight in reward
ing such men with she highest hofors within
their gift. Not only as the stone starr Of the
Sd District, but as the "bright particular starr
of Whiggery in Mississippi, his voice is too
powerful, and his services too important to be
dispensed with in this coming election. He
will not be q candidate for reelection to Con-
gress, but we insist upon h o-pIeasure of yo.
ting for him for Governor Of Mississippi.
