HOW TO no TT

There is good sense in the following ad-
vice to young men and women who are
thinking of matrimony. 1t is from an arti-
Gle by Grant Thorburn, in The Home Jour
nal:
There is nothing to be gained in dangling
for a twelyemonth, after a sensible woman,
talking unmeaning stuf-words without wis
dom. Tell her your wish, like a man, and
not like a blubbering school-boy. She will
never trihe with your affections and ifthere
are three grains of common sense in your
muckLe carcass, she will be your own before
a month has passed. See the history of Re
becca, in Genesis, oath chapter, seth verse :
When Abraham's servant had concluded the
preliminary contract with Mrs. Laban, on
the part Of her daughter, to become the wife
CT Isaac, the old man was anxious to gel
home, to show his young master the 6onn1
lass he had brought him ; the mother wish

The Christian Sun, published in this City,
by Rev. Henry B. Hayes, has recently ap-
peared in a new dress, and on entirely new
type. 1t is now one of the neatest Papers in
the State. Success to the "Sun may it
continue to shine, until its rays shall penetrate
the darkest corners of our State, illuminating
the minds and dispensing the error and igno-
rance which pervade the hearts of men.
The Raleigh Times also appears in a new
dress, is printed on new type and greatly en-
lareed. The Editor of the Times is an ener-
getic, persevering man, and deserves album
dant success. His paper is conducted with
ability and earnestness, and we are glad to see
this indication of increased patronage.
The Lincoln Courier likewise comes to us il
a new dress and considerably enlarged-beine
now decidedly one of the best printed paper
in North Carolina. We trust friend Eccle
will meet with a corresponding increase to hi
subscription with his efforts to improve tn

HOME AND WOMAN.

If there ever has been a more touch

charms of home, and its dearest treasure,
woman, than is contained in the follow
ing extract from the Christian Inquirer,
it has not been our good fortune to meet
it -

but the virtue of woman, and on what
does social w~ell-being rest but our homes?

homes. Man did not invent, and he
cannot improve or abrogate them. A
private shelter to cover in two hearts
dearer TO each other than all in the world;
high walls to exclude the profane eyes Of
every human being seclusion enough
for children to feel that mother is a no.
ly and peculiar name-this is home ; and
here is the birthplace Of every virtuous
impulse-of every sacred thought. Here
the church and the state must come fol

Franklin, possessed disseminating mind,
was a close observer of the habits of the
young ladies-watched an opportunity

about one year the young lady of the
kitchen was %conveyedt to Boston, the wife

e. Sometime since (says the Warrenton
News) we published IN article stating that,
we have not a drunkard nor loafer in Warren
ton, which was copied in several papers under
the caption of "A Model Town. Every cit
izen of Warrenton we hope felt proud, not
that the fact had gone abroad so extensively,
but proud of the consciousness that the report
was founded in truth. As a further evidence
of the peaceable disposition Of our citizens and
their p~unctuality in business transactions, we
make the following statement: That at the
present session of the Superior Court for this
County, there were but two cases on the State
docket, in neither of which the parties were
convicted and there was not a single case OF
the civil Docket. Beat that if you can. We
challenge every County of every State in the
Union. The "Sons" are strong in Warren
