with the Whitewater Canal Company for
the use Of the tow-palh Of their canal, from

WHAT WE CALL DUTIES. - Every man
ought to pay his debts--if he can, Every
man ought to help his neighbor--if he can.
Every man and woman ought to get married.
ii they can, Every man should do his work
TO suit his customers--ifhe can. Every man
should please his wife--if be can. Every
wife should please her husband--if she can.
Every wife should sometimes hold her tongue
if she can. Every lawyer should sometimes
tell the truth-if he can. Every one should
take newspaper and pay for it--if he can.

Intermarriage of Blood Relations.

Hear what the editor Of the Fredericks
burg News says about the matter.
In the country in which we were raised
for twenty generations back, certain fami-
ly Of wealth and respectability have inter
married, until there cannot be found in
three Of them sound man or woman. One
has sore eyes, another scrofula, third is
idiotic, a-fouith blind, a fifth bandylegged,
a sixth with head about the size Of tur.
nip. with not one out Of the number exein pt
from physical or mental defects of some
kind. Yet this family perseyens to inter
marry with each other with these living
monitors constantly before them"
