nT The last Hop kiusyille Rife, in its 10.

ns The last Hopkinssille Rifle, in its To-
cal news, says:
"The young gentlemen Of this place have
quit going to parties, because the young la
dies have quit giving them-because there
are no eligible beaux, that is, such as it
would be prudent to marry. Our females
are wonderfully inclined to marry foreigners
and any young chap broken down in his natal
place would do well to visit this Eden OF
Green River, and, in all human probability
get nice little fortune and a nice little
wife.
at is not to be wondered at, that the girls
here do not take to the young men; two
thirds of the latter have no visible means Of
support, and subsist Chiefly by deluding the
good nature of Jack Fisher, tor their food,
and picking up clean Shirt, from some
thoughtless store cub other innocent indvid-
ual. SIS there no balm in Gi.ead, is there
no physician there!"

A Merry Christmas.

We wish every reader of the Journal, and
-"the rest of mankind" a merry, merry
Christmas. The day, nevertheless may be
sad to many poor mortal, to whom the Gus
.tomsry cordial greeting which gushes from
every happy heart, and quivers upon the
.myrth.curIed lip, will fall harshly upon their
ears and sink heavily upon their grief-wOrn
spirits.
But, Christmas must be made merry, and
Cheerfuldess is one Of the noblest and most
hsppifying virtues of the human heart; we
hail the day with joy which is by common
consent consecrated to the cultivation and
indulgence Of this exalted quality Of our
nature. We shodld not, however, forget
while we are enjoying the innocent amuse-
ments and festivities Of this great universally
social Anniversary. the saddening and sor-
rowful changes which have marked the
years history, since we last wished our
friends "merry Christmas" and received in
response warm and heartfelt congratula.
tons from voices hich have since been hush
ed in death.
These changes are in themselves ser.
mon more eloquent than mortal lips can
preach. They point warning fnger to the
future, more solemn than human admonition.
But 1t would be wrong to voluntarily min
gle too many gloomy thoughts with the hap
piness Of Emery Christmas"
Attendance upon the Sanctuary in the
morning should not be neglected, but take
precedence over all our festive appointments.
Let our seats not be found vacant in our re.
spective places Of worship, and with CRATE.
ful hearts return our thanks to the Almighty
and All bountiful disposer of our "creature
comforts for slender mercies past" W.
believe everybody regards Christmas as
day more especially consecrated to pouitrl
than piety, but we think a consistent CO
mingling Of both will be productive Of more
good than harm.
We again wish our readers a merrier ant
happier Christmas than they have ever be
fore celebrated. and glad return of thot
sand more.

pIn another matter the House had an
opportunity Of manifesting its feeling towards
the President. In his annual message he
informed that body that he should send them
a special message, giving more at large than
he had time to do so near the close OF tn e last
session hisreasons for vetoing the River and
harbor bill; but without waiting for this mess
age the House took up the biIl,maugre the re-
monstranc Df the Presidents friends, and
disposed fthe question whether the bill
should become law or not. without Presi-
dents signature. The vote stood syes So,
nays 80. Two thirds not voting in the affir-
native, the bill was lost, as it was known
before it would be. What the PresideI t
will do with the elaborate message he had
prepared to send in, am unable to say, but
he will of course not send it to the House
now, as the subject is disposed of. The pro-
ceeding had the appearance Of an intended
discourtesy, or rebuke, though it may not
have been SO intended.

INTENDED WIFE OF PRINCE NAPOLEON

INTENDED WIFE OF PRINCE NAfoLEoN.-
1t is rumorcd in Brussels that the grand
Of Louis Philippe, the Princess
Charlotte Of Belgium, is the intended wife
of Prince Napoleon, heir prospective to the
throne of France. However singular such
an alliance may appear, it is by no means
impossible that Louis Napoleon may desire
to take this means of strengthening his
throne and destroying the prospects of the
Orleans family Of again acquiring supreme
power. This, If true, may account in some
measure for the visit Of King Leopold to the
Emperor of France at Boulogne, and when
it is remembered that Queen Victoria and
Prince Albert are niece and nephew to the
King of Belgium, may partly explain the
personal cordially recently exhibited BY
them towards Louis Napoleon.
