The Port Gibson reveille. (Port Gibson, Miss.) 185?-1857, 1853-06-22
The Young Lady who Expects to
Marry Rich.

We never could understand upon what
principle Of justice the expectation was foun-
ded, by which managing mothers and cunning
young ladies maintained the determination,
the one of marrying her daughter to some
rich man, and the other Of only uniting her.
self TO such an one when they had nothing
on their parts to show a reciprocation Of the
contract. For with such people marriage
amounts TO business contract, or commercial
speculation. A young man who has a prop
erty OF fifty or sixty thousand dollars, can
obtain the possession Of more personal beauty
at a much cheaper rate, and in all cases where
we have seen this determination on the part
Of young lady to wed for wealth, her per-
sonal appearance has been all she has had to
offer as the qutd pro qU0 for a man aud his
fortune. We believe with Sir John Sterling,
that a marriage Of convenience is a marri-
age Of dishonor-and a marriage for money,
at best, but legal prostitution.
One Of the principle causes Of the uumer-
Gus cases which now occur Of martial iniideli-
ty, lays in the fact that there are more mar
riages OF convenience and money than there
are Of affection. The girl. by false repre-
sentation of position, rank. &C., who is urged
to unite herself to man whom she only cold
ly respects, as a means Of contributing to her
convenience and her comfort. is not indiffer-
ent to the warmer affections of her nature !;
and when even reyelling in the luxuries her
convenient husband affords her, is not content
without she shares them with a lover The
fortune of pretty face is inadequate to sup
ply the comforts Of life and why girl, with
only this unsubsantial wealth, should turn
up her pretty nose at an honest man, who
would risk his life to support her in comfort
and independence, passes our conception.
There is degree Of impertinence about the
expectation that is intolerable. If girl is
determined to barter herself for money, let
her walk the streets labelled, so that all men
may know her price. There would be some
thing honest and fair in that; but for Heav-
ems sake. don't inveigle a mans affections
until his value in gold is ascertained, and then
if be should happen to fall short Of the re-
quircd amount. kick him into the streets sans
ceremony. The woman who sells herself for
a marriage settlement Of hundred thousand
dollars, and she who forgots herself for the
smallest fraction Of this sum, differ only in
degree, not In kind.

certainly worthy Of him. Read it without
emotion If youcaI
Last evening we were walking leisurely
along, the music of chOirs in three churches
came floating out into the darkness around
us, and they were all new and strange tones
but one And that one-it was not sung as
we have heard it, but it awakened train Of
long buried memories, that rose TO US even as
they were before the cemetery Of the soul
had tomb in it.
1t was sweet Corinth' they were singing
strains we have seldom heard since the
rose color Of life was blanched, and we we're
in moment back again to the old village
church. and il was a summer afternoon. and
the yet low sunbeams we're streaming through
the west windows, and the silver hair Of the
old deacon who sat in the pulpit. was turned
to gold in its light, and the minister. who we
used TO think could never die, so good was he,
had concluded application and exortation, .
and the village choir were singing the last
hymn, and the tune was Corinth.
"It is years-we dare not think how many
since then. and the prayers of David the
son Of Jesse are ended, and the choir are
scattered and gone. The girl with blue eyes
that sang alto. aud the girl with black eyes
sang air-the eyes Of the one were like a
clear June heaven at noon.-They both
became wives, and both mothers aud they
both died.
Who shall say they are not singing Cor
inth still. where Sabbaths never wane, and
congregations never break up There they
sat Sabbath after Sabbath. by the square col
umn at the right of the leader and to our
young cars their tones were the very soul Of
music
That column lears still their pcnci ed
names as they wrote them in those days in
life's June, 1S3-, before dreams Of change
had overcome their spirits like summers
cloud
ALAS. that with the old singers most of
the sweeter tones have died upon the air but
they linger in memory, and they shall yet be
sung in the sweet reunion Of song that shall
take place by-and- by in a hall whose columns
are beams Of morning lights. whose Gel ing
is pearl, whose floors are all gold, and where
hair never turns silvery, and hearts never
grow old Then she that sang alto, and she
that sang air, will be in their places once"

Facts about Tea.

In the ninth century, certain Arabian
doctors mentioned fragrant and fascinating
Chinese beverage, prepared from plant
called scah." After the lapse Of six hun
dred years, in 1868, 0learius discovered
that tea was domesticated as luxury among
the higher ranks Of society in Persia
Now, all through the wastes Of Central Asia,
the Calmucks. the Bashkiri, &C., tea is su-
preme. But their use Of it is not drink, but
a solid nourishment. Ii has no appearance
of deIicately rolled leaves. but sticks and
stocks Of the plant are made into heavy stone
like cakes, of the color Of tan-balls, and of
the consistency of iron bolts. This is moist
ened and baked with the water Of the steppes,
mixed with the blood of animals, and enrich
ed with the fat Of beef or mutton and it is
then eaten with spoons like thick soup.
1T is poison said an old woman to DIR.
johnson. " Madam, it may be poison, but |
have been seventy years dying Of it, " said he,
draining his sixth evening bowl.
In eight years, the leaves of the tea-plant
are fully charged with their peculiarities.
In the ninth year they begin to lose them.
Yet the plants are stripped sometimes to the
eleventh and twelfth year-and hence the
endless varieties Of tea Each year there are
four harvests, Of which that in February is
the least in quantity and the best in quality.
The April harvest Is kind Of rowcn. the sec
ond cutting of the best. That of June yields
mainly large leaves, and that Of August is Of
the inferior quality A careful bath CON-
pletes the preparation for picking, and then,
with gloved hands. the work is commenced.
An industrious workman may collect from
ten to fifteen pounds in day. But on the
same day he must strew them on heated
platter, and on the same evening wrap them
in cloth, and dip them, for some moments,
in hot water. After they have dripped dur
ing the night.they are spread the next morning
in hot iron pans, in which they are constant
ly stirred. They are laid upon mats. rolled
with the open hand. completely cooled with
large fans during the process, then skilfully
packed in chests.

CRAvArs Prof. Hamiton's remarks at
the Buffalo Medical College, on asphyxia,
and particularly that form caused by wearing
tight cravats, may be of interest to the gen.
eral reader :-Cravats we're first worn by the
Croats. in the sixteenth century, as part Of
their military dress. Public speakers mem-
bers Of Congress aud clergymen, hang them
selves by wearing cravats and stocks high

flow o: blood from the head. Those who
bend their heads forward, as in writing or
studying, are apt to feel a dizziness and
heaviness in the head, which looseuing their
cravats or collars. altogether relieve. and the
mind returns to its original clearness. In
clergymen, who are particularly prone to
bundle their necks with large cravats, bron-

A Curious HIsToRIcAL FAcT.-Some
hundred years ago, a number of the Profes-
sors of the Edinburg University attempted to
publish a work which should be perfect
specimen of typographical accuracy. Every
precaution was taken to secure the desired
result. Six experienced proofreaders we're
employed, who devoted hours to the reading
of each page, and after it was thought to be
perfect. it was posted up in the hall Of the
University, with a notification that reward
Of fifty pounds would be paid to any person
who could discover an error. Each page was
suffered TO remain two weeks in the place
where it had been posted. before the work
was printed, and the professors thought they
had attained the object for which they had
been striving. When the work was issued,
it was discovered that several errors had been
committed-one Of which was in the first line
of the first page. If case Of this kind
could occur after all the precaution which had
been used, after full and ample time had been
given for correct and thor, u h reading and
that by day light. carpers at errors in their
newspapers should have some little excuse for
those who are compelled to read proof in
a hurry, and frequently have no time to read
it at all.

Coop FARMING -Rawstone, in his remarks
on Lancashire Farming, very valuable and
erudite work. says
1T may be laid down as a standing rule,
and as guide to direct us, that all good farm
ing. the whole of that process by which bad
land is to be converted into good and produc-
tive, and to be continued in that state, is COM
prised in the three following operations Of hus-
bandry. viz:
l. To carry off all superfuous and stagnant
water. by means of judicious draining,
2 To retrieve. through the medium of ma
nure. the strength and fertility which has been
exhausted by cropping.
g. To extract all noxious weeds, that the
strength of the manure may be thrown into
the crops, and not into the weeds"
Every farmer, who exercises his mind in
the cultivation and management Of his fields,
will at once recognize the importance Of at
tending to the foregoing observations. Yet,
obvious as are the truths they inculcate, many,
we fear, will fail to profit by them Farmers
need line upon line. and precept upon pre-
cept, in these matters.
