A word TO old Maids and BaeheIor..

"Men should not marry" it is
commonly said, sunless they can not
only maintain for themselves the So
cial position TO which they have been
accustomed, but extend the benefits
Of that position to their wives and
children. A woman who marries is
entitled TO be kept in the same rank
and comfort in which she was rear
ed" We entirely disavow these
doctrines. 1t should be the aim OF
every married couple to make their
own fortune. No son and daughter,
who becomes man and vile, are enti-
tied to rely on their patrimony, but
should willingly commence life at a
lower step in the social ladder than
that occupied by their parents, so
that they may have the merit, and
happiness OF rising, if possible TO the
top. Imagine the case Of an nged
couple, who by great perseverance
have acquired possession OF immense
wealth, and are living in a style of
ease and splendor which is no more
than the reward Of their long life Of
industry. Will anybody say that
the children OF such sold folks"
should live in the same grandeur as
their parentsl The idea is preposter-
Gus. They have no right TO such
luxury, they have done nothing TO
deserve it, and If their parents are
honest in dividing their property
among them, they can have no
means of supporting it. Yet mar
riages are contracted on the princi-
pie that the married couple shall be
able to keep up the rank TO which
they have been accustomed under
the parental roof. 1t is such notions
as this-engendered by Maithusian
and fostered by lazy
are filling our country
with poor old maids,' with coquet-
fish young ladies, with nice cigar
smoking, good-for-nothing young
men.

Van Horn, Of the Msigs Co.

Jenny's nose looks Just like his
Shades Of Mozart. Now il is well
known that Van is proverbial Tor

Define yourself better Van Vor-

you didn't carry your comparison
into this or Columbus district. II
you mean that his nose beats for pure
unadulterated ugliness-we guess
you will win if you take in all crea-
ton.
We thought our nose was "sum"
in that line till we saw "the said"
nose "above referred to-" but when
we saw it we caved-we did.
However Van Horn should take
consolation in the reflection that
somebody must have the ugliest nose,
but we (here we cannot resist the
temptation to jump into parenthe-
sis and tell story of Dulchman--

telling him, as we tell Van Horn,
that somebody must pc to ugliest.

II u ELOQUENT IRBUTE.--lt is
well known that THOMAS F. MAR
SHALL, OF Kentucky, has been at open
warfare with Mr.. Clay, for several
years. He is now a member of the
Kentucky Legislature and has been
charged with trying to produce dis
sension between the friends OF Mr..
Clay and Mr.. Crittenden. In let
ter repelling these charges, which we
find in the Louisville Journal. the fol-
lowing eulogy occurs, which.f for bril-
liancy and noble generosity, to po-
litical adversary, we never have seen
surpassed. We doubt if in the whole
range af eloquent Inscriptions to the
Great Commoner, il can be equalled.
He says:
81 said that the Adams administra-
ton had fallen and that Kentucky a.
mong others struck fatal blow. Is
not this historically truel Was this
statement, under the explanations
which have given in the House and
here, aimed as a sarcasm at Mr.. Clay,
or can it be wresied into an asser-
tion that Mr.. Crittenden was the au-
thor Of his greatnessl Mr.. Clay did
fall in 1898, and from a lofty height,
but sprang, as he always springs, like
the antiqus wrestler, the stronger
from his fall, more terrible on the re-
bound than he was ere shaken from
his feet. Ihave studied his life, his
speeches, his actions, his character.
| have heard him at the bar and in
the Senate. have seen him in his
contests with other men, when all
the stormy passions OF his tempestu-
Gus soul were lashed by disappoint-
ment and opposition, TO the foaming
rage of the ocean, when all the
winds are unchanged and sweep in
full career over the free and bound
ing bosom Of the deep. He owes
less of his greatness to education or
to art than any man living. He
owes less of his commanding infu-
ence TO other men, than any great
leader | have ever known, or OF
whom have ever read. He wears
natures patent OF nobility forever
on his brow. He stalks among men
with an unanswerable and never
doubling air of command. His
sweeping and imperial pride, his in
domitable will, his unequalling cour-
age, challenge from all submission or
combat. With him there can be no
neutrality. Death, tribute, or the
koran, is his motto. Great in speech,
great in action, his greatness is all
his own. He is independent alike oI
history or the schools; he knows
little of either and despises BOTH
His ambition, his spirit, and his elo-
quence are all great, natural, and
entirely his own. If he is like any,
body, he does not know it. He has
never studied models, and, il he had
his pride would have rescued him
from the fault OF imitation. He
stands among men in towering and
barbaric grandeur, in all the hardi-
hood and rudeness Of perfect origi-
nality, independent OF the polish and
beyond the reach Of art. His vast
outline and grand but wild and unde-
fined proportions liken him to huge
mass Of granite torn in some convul-
sion Of nature from a mountains
side, which any effort of the chisel
would only dI:fgure, and which no
instrument in the sculptor's studio
could grasp or comprehend"

WANDERED FORTH.

/ wandered forth one day in spring
With heart as fresh and free.
And spirits light as the zephyr's wing
That swept the greenwood tree.
Then, hope was in each bursting bud,
And Joy in every beam
That lit the oceans rolling food,
Or danced upon the stream.
The smile on natures sunny face
Was mirrnred in my soul
As fancy seemed path 10 trace,
Which lured 10 pleasures goal.
dreamed that all the earth was filled
With beauty, 10 e, and truth,
As my warm heart with rapture thrilled.
Such was the spring Of youth.
Again ! wandered forth alone,
One brilliant summer morn,
A richer garb DER earth was thrown
Than laughing spring had worn.
A deeper tint was in the sky
And flowers embalmed the air,
Which, late as bad wandered by
Were scarcely budding there.
And changed the light within mine eye
As thoughts too dear to speak
Deepened like summers glowing sky
The bushes on my cheek.
Still my young heart was light and gay,
But not so blithe and free
As when rored in early May
Beneath the greenwood tree.
For Lore upon my soul had breathed
= And changed las in an hour)
Each bud of Joy which hope had wreathed
Into glowing flower.
And the beauty now of earth and sky
A wilder gladness woke,
And the streamlet, as it murmured by,
A different language spoke.
WANDERED forth at autumn eve,
But ah how changed the scene,
For nature sadly smiled to leave
Her paradise Of green.
And mournful seemed each forest tree
Though rich its gar5 and gay,
As beauty's cheek, which oft we see
Brightest in It's decay.
NV spirits, too, had known a change.
Its freshness all was fled,
For some loved were cold and strange,
And some were with the dead.
A shadow DER my soul had swept,
And as wandered on
Amid the falling leaves | wept
O'er joys forever gone
And elouds which in the early spring
Had passed unIeeded by
A stormy darkness seemed to fling
Ger autumn's mellow sky.
The glow of summers parting hour
Had left its bloom behind,
But noao feared in every flower
Some canker worm to find.
wandered forth, once more alone,
When winters breath blew chill
The rose had dropped, the gay bird flown,
And frozen was the rill.
While on that spot where pleasures birth
Had taught my heart TO dream
Even sunlight DER the blighted earth
In sadness seemed to beam.
But evergreens are often found
Mid wreaths of frost and snow,
And streamIets with mournful sound
Beneath the ice may flow.
And oh! one sympathizing tear
Will soothe the pangs of grief,
As freshly CLEANS where all is drear
The ivy's fadeless leaf.
NV heart so bIithe IN springs light hour
In summer soft and warm
Had found in autumn's cloud and flower
The canker worm and storm.
But now, how sweet it is to know,
When winter winds have fowl,
And the stream of joy has ceased to flow
/ shall not weep alone!
