MARRIED MEN.-So good was he,
that / now t,ke the opportunity Of max
ING a conf, ssion which have often had
upon M lips, bat haviag hesitatcd to
make, from the fear If drawing upon
myself the hatred of every mar led wo-
man. But now I will lun he risk so
now for it-sometime or other people
must unburden their hearts. | confess,
then, that never find a man more lov-
able or captivating than when h. is a
married mun. \ man is never so per-
feet, in my eyes, IS when he IS married, J.,
as when he is a husband, and the falIi, r
of a family, supporting in his manly
arms wife aud childreG, and the whole
domestic circle, which, on his 'ntrance
into the married state, el ses around
him and cons flutes part Of his home aud
world. He is not merely ennobl d b,
his position, bat Is actually bea 'iified
by lt-then he appears to me as thr
crown of creation and it is only such a
man rs this that is dangerous to me. and
with whom I am incl ned TO "a il love.
But then propriety torbids it. And
Moses, and all European legislators de-
clare it to be sinful, and all m r'ied wo-
man would consider il sacr'd duly to
stone me. Nevertheless, [ cann4t pre-
vent the thing tt is 50, and ii cannoi
be otherwise and my ony hopes Of ap
peasing those who are excited against
ME, is in my future confession that no
love affects me- 50 pleasantly; the con-
temptation of no happiness makes ne 50
happy 81 that between married people
1t is amazing to myself, because it seems
to me that l, living unmarried or match
less, have little to do. But it is so, and
always was so.-Miss Bremer.

RICH DIGGINGs.-Our canal would prove ex-
ceedingly rich were the lovers of frog meat to
make descent down into it's ''green waters. +"
Nightly we are reminded of the golden land of
Sonora by the sonori-ous tones which rise up
from the bank of our "raging canal" And
then the delicious odors that salute the oactofes
of those who would take quiet promenade, is
delightful; but for all that it will be a long
time ere he repeats the walk. Much is added
to the constant existing effluyia by the dead
animals which are cast into it, contrary to law
and the well-being of the community. We're it
not for such nusances the banks along the canal
would make a delightful promenading avenue
for the autumn season, after old SOL" has
lost his intensest rays. We really hope that
some amelioraton will take place, for this canal
could easily be made one of the finest features
Of our pretty little village.

A RARE PUDDING.-We find the following
recipe in an old number Of the g Humbug of

Baton Rouge for the last few months:
Nesselrode Paddmg-Take as much CANNON
as will lie in the compass Of diplomatic circle;
and mince along with butter, sugar, cat'sfeathers,
and pigeons milk in equal quantities, all to be
well shaken in hogs horn. Add olives, well
bruised, in sufficient proportion to flavor; and
when thoroughly incorporated, mix the whole
with puff paste and fummery made into a mess.
Mould in q twisted shape, and plunge into hot
water, where allow it to bubble, the longer the
better Turn it out when thoroughly done, and
serve cool with Sauce la Hatch.

A DOUBLE EGG.-The editor of the Southern
Sentinel, Plaquemine, has been shown curiosity
in the shape of a double egg, which was found
in the poultry yard Of resident of that town.
It was about the size Of turkeys egg, and

floating inside, in apparently the ,chite, was
another egg, perfectly formed, about the size Of
