" But Adaline determined Juan's wedding"
1t is really singular, what aptitude some
people, particularly old maids, display in
making matches. | have often thought
that they could make money at manufactu-
ring the real Lucifer, at one penny a hun
dred. There is one thing that a little
stumps me in their proceedings. Old maids
generally (AdaIioe was married) are cross,
snapPish and i'll natured, and they are cter-
nalIy wanting every body to get married.
Now cant understand the reason, unless
it gives them kind Of fiendish pleasure to
think how miserable they have made a
certain couple, or to enjoy the discomfei-
uro of half a dozen rivals. It must be
something Of this sort or else these ancient
Ladies are cruelty slandered. If marriage
is happy stateIhope they'll get mentoit
By the way talking Of weddings. A
man returns from wedding in much the
same mood of mind that he does from ru-
neral. The fuss and excitement are al
length over. In either case you have done
all that can be done for the parties. Their
state now, is one of happiness or misery,
and the difference in duration, is perhaps
the only dissimilarity. You cant help
"musing" upon all the fun and frolic and
romping you have had in by gone days,
and that is all over now for the one is in
the arms of Pluto and the other of Hymen.
Thus wags the world, and those with whom
you commenced your pilgrimage stroll off
one by one and at last you stand alone in
your "musing."
Thus when a woman is once married
she is Of course appropriated property,
forbidden fruit, add you must look back at
the past not formed to the future. There
IS something sufficiently quizical in this
thing of a wedding. You cant be the con-
fiden' of happy wife or a happy huS-
band. They double their joys and S share
their sorrows between themselves. In
coming from matrimonial execution, YOU
are half glad and half sorry. Glad that
your friends is at lengh happy and blest, -
sorry that all your fine sport is suddenly
ended
It's said that marriage is lottery. | |
don't believe it. People have within them
selves the true secret of happiness, and are
by choice. Now | like a we'd

not be spoiIed,-a bright eye must not be

10 boost Mr.. Pearce up again, when the
time should come, doubtless expecting to
find Mr.. Pearce ready to reciprocate his
repeated acts Of kindness. This would
all be fair and rational.

FELLOW CITIZENS:

Recent circumstances and
attendant Developments seem, my hum
bic opinion, to warrant the use again of nv
pen, few moments, in laying statement
Of plain facts before the people. Last fall
Mr.. Pearce was nominated through the
Partially ofthe regular removal democratic
party Of Columbia county, and elected to
the Legislature. In that act participated
cheerfully and none had higher hopes than
| had to see him come out right side up
In many respects Mr.. p, met my expec-
tation and for that, | give him credit
but IN others, he disappointed me most
shockingly, and for these things wish to
give gentle reproor
was mortified to learn that he had rounJ
1t necessary after elected to forsake the
friends to whom he was indebted for his
nomination, and who had always stood by
him when he wanted help, and exchanged
them for new ones. But it is not of this I
am about to speak. If he now believes he
has gained anything By the erchange il
is not for us to begrudge him his bargain
There IS another matter, apparently ofless
importance to the public, although ofinGn.
itely higher moment to the parties concern.
ed' so i7r as fidelity and gratitude are to be
considered.
Soon after Mr.. Pearce was elected I,st
fall, he induced his friend, PETER Evr to
become an applicant, before the Canal
Board, for Collector at Berwick. 70
strengthen his claims,h he heaRed Mr.. EDre
petition 'oith his OoOn name, and TINS en-
couragcd' Mr.. f., spent his time and mon.
ey, and made an excursion TO HARRISBURG
but was unsuccessful. Mr.. pearce
at the time, was partly out as Canal Com
missioner IMe othcr mM hrger mart uos
ont for CoHector and like Mr.. Ent, was
unsuccessful.

Mr.. EDIroR:---
met the other day with some theo
ory in relation to Rome one is a prophe-
cy written in 1878, by one Rudolph Gel
thica, A Correspondent of the journal of
Commerce, has brought it into notice.
Tie says that it was found in the library of
the Augusllnean Convent As so much
Of this remarkable prophecy is now in the
progress Of lulillment, it is well calculated
to awaken serions apprehonsions, or rath.
er TO sustain apprehensions already felt by
all observers, for the progress of the Rus
sian Autocrat. But the most interesting
feature Of it is, the predicameut into which
it brings that old "man of sin, who has
through long line been "siing in the tenn
pie of God, showing himself that he is
God" and claiming to be the universal
head of the Church, arrogating the title of
"his holiness boasting of lnfalibility, and
assuming the right 10 dcpose kings, and
bestow kingdoms on whom he please, &c.
claims equally impious and absurd.
NOw,verily there is "no Pope" Already
he is "a captive by his own people," and
never again can there be Pope clothed
with such monstrous prerogatiye. Surely
these are exciting times. 1t is our preyi-
lege to live in an age which is witnessing
some startling and remarkable events, but
here is one of the "Prophecies" to which
have alluded.
Before the middle of the nineteenth
century, seditions will be excited everv-
where in Europe Republics will arise !;
Kings will be put to death together with
the nobilites and exclesastics and relig-
ionists will desert their converts. Famine
pestiIence, and earthquakes, will spread des-
olatlon over many cities. Rome will loose
her sceptre, by the invasion of false Phil
osophers. The Pope will be made a cap
tive by his own people, and the Church
OF God will be placed under tribute, dives
ted of its temporal possessions, In a short
time there will be no Pope. A Prince
from the North will overrun Europe with
a great army; destroy the Republics, and
extermnate all rebels. HIS sword WELD
ed by God, will vigorously defend the
Church of Christ; uphold the orthodox
faith, and subdue the Mohommedan power.
new pastor, the first one, will come by a
heavenly sign from the shore in simplici-
ty of heart and in the doctrine of Christ,
and peace will be restored to the world"
We have no idea that this singular doc
umentis worthy of a place among the "co-
nonlcal scriptures" but certainly, it is
curious production, if we are to believe that
1t was written nearly two hundred years
ago. The events now transporting in Eur
o2e form striking coincidence. S.
