Courting in Church.

An eccentric rector remarked 4 gentleman
at church who was not parishioner, but who
Sunday after Sunday placed himself in pew
adjoining that Of young widow. On the
first occasion, he detected him silly drawing
the lady's glove from off the back of the pew
where she was accustomed to place it Cher
hand and arm we're delicately fairy. BY and
by, the lady's prayer-book fell-of course
standardization the edge of her pew into
the gentleman's. He picked it up-found a
leaf turned down-and scanned a passage
which evidently caused smile of complacen-
cy. Our minister saw all their movements,
and continued to watch them with a scruti-
nizing eye for two successive Sundays. On
the third, as soon as the collects were read,
and while the beadle yet obsequiously waited
to attend him to the chauncel, our eccentric
pastor, in strong and distinct voice, said,
publish the banns of marriage between NJ
and H deliberately pronouncing the name
of the parties), if any of you know any just
cause &c. The eyes Of the whole congre-
cation were turned on the widow and the gay
Lothario the lady suffused with bushes, and
the gentleman crimsoned with anger she
tanning herself with vehemence, and he

and violence. The minister meanwhile pro
ceeded through his accustomed duties with
the same decorum and ease as if perfectly
innocent of the agitation he had excited The

Live within Your Means.

We don't like stinginess. We don't like
economy, when it comes down to rags and
starvation. We have no sympathy with the
notion that the poor man should hitch himself
to post and stand still, while the rest of the
world moves forward. 1t is no mans duty to
deny himself every amusement, every luxury,
every recreation, every comfort that he may
get rich 1t is no mans duty to make an ice
berg of himself, to shut his eyes and ears to
the sufferings of his fellows, and to deny him
self the enjoyment that results from generous
actions, merely that he may hoard wealth for
his heirs to quarrel about. But there is an
economy which is every mans duty, and
which is especially commendable in the man
who struggles with poverty-an economy
which is consistent with happiness, and which
must be practised if the poor man would Sc
cure independence.
1t is almost every mans privilege, and it
becomes his duty to live within his means /;
not up to, but within them. Wealth does not
make the man, we admit, and should never be
taken into the account in our judgment Of men
but competence should always be secured
when it can be; and it almost always can be,
by the practice of economy and selfdenial to
only tolerable extent. 1t should be secured,
not so much for others to look upon, or to raise
us in the estimation of others, as to secure the
consciousness of independence, and the con-
slant satisfaction which is derived from its
requirement and possession.
We would like to impress this single fact
upon the mind of every laboring man who may
peruse this short article-that it is possible
for him to rise above poverty and that the
path to independence, though beset with tolls
and self sacrifices, is much pleasanter to the
Eastern times. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1846-1857, 1854-10-19

traveller than any one he can enter upon
The man who feels that he is earning some
thing more than he is spending, will walk the
streets with much lighter heart, and enter
his home with much more cheerful counte-
nance than he who spends as he goes, or falls
gradually behind his necessities in acquiring
the means of meeting them.
Next to the slavery of intemperance, there
is no slavery on earth more CALLING than that
of poverty and Indebtedness. The man who
is everybody's debtor is everybody's slave,
and in much worse condition than he who
serves single master.
For the sake of the present, then, as well
as for the future, we should most earnestly
urge upon every working man to live within
his means. Let him lay by something every
day-if but penny-t is better than nothing
infinitely better than running in debt penny
a day, or penny week. If he can earn
one dollar day, let him try fairly and faith
fully the experiment Of living on ninety cents
He will like it.
People will laugh Let them laugh
They will call me stingy.' Better call you
stingy, than say you do not pay your debts
They will wonder why do not have bet
ter furniture, live in finer house, and attend
concerts and the playhouse Let them won
der for while-it won't hurt you. By-and.
by you can have fine house and furniture OF
your own, and they will wonder again, and
come billing and cooling around you like SC
many pleased fools. Try the experiment.
Live within your means.

to the dimensions stated by the survey after
they arrived. Nothing of this kind was stat
ed to McFadden, who was called to hear the
terms of the contract repeated. 1t was moi
reduced 10 writing, Blanding declining to
wait and have it so done. To import such a
term into the contract on the very slight pre-
sumption to be derived from the imperfect and
unfinished negotiations in July, would be
wholly unjustifable.
1t was well understood that the timber was
purchased for, and on account of ship then
being built; and in such cases, the law of the
State gives to the vender lien on the ship, to
secure payment. The contract itself, being
within the acknowledged jurisdiction of the
Admiralty, it is well settled that this Court
will enforce the law, although founded on a
State Statute, and not given by the general
Maratime Law Of the Country. But 1t is OBJ
jected that the lien being given by Statute
of this State, aud that law directing partic-
ular mode and process by which it may be en-
forced, that it can be enforced in no other
way; and that the law in this case directs
that the service of the process shall be by
leaving copy with the Clerk of the Town
where the property is situated-no such SER
vice in this case having been made, it is said
the Libel must be dismissed for want of proper
service. do not SO understand the practice
of the Courts of the United States. A Court
of the United States, sitting in this State, ad-
ministers the law of the State in cases to
which it applies but in administering the
law it follows its own mode Of proceeding and
process. The service in this case was the
usual and customary form of service in a
process IN rem. The thing itself was arrested
and taken into the possession of the Marshal
"a notice was affixed to the ship and the
owners were notified of the fact, and the ar
rest by citation to appear and show cause
why this Court should not pronounce decree
for the libellant.
Decree for the Libellant for $I456, so the
amount he claimed, and costs.

HYDRePATHY.-A good story is told of
lady in our city, who was entertaining a party
Of friends in new house, into which che had
just moved, and Of which she was quite proud.
She had taken them through the various apart
ments, from kitchen TO garret, and expatiated
in glowing terms upon the peculiar advantages
Of each.
AT last they reached the bathroom. Here
she said, you see we have bathing tub, here
are two faucets, one for hot and the other for
cold water
Here is the shower-bath you have only to
step in, so, and the water comes down, when
you pull the string, in this Manner sad she,
suiting the action to the word, and sure enough,
it did come down in perfect torrent, drench-
ing her to the skin. Ii is impossible to i'm
agine more complete picture Of bewilderment
than she presented, as the consequence Of her
Observation-Disclosures
In spite Of The sympathy her friends ex-
pressed, il was very hard matter for them
TO preserve sober faces The lady was obliged
TO undergo an entire change Of clothing, and
lament the ruin of new silk dress, 10 say
nothing Of suffering from cold for fortnight
afterwards. We believe she hasn't repeated
the experiment.

Newly MARRIED Folks. We are tre-
quently asked, Do you ask anything for in
serting marriage notices!' Our invariabe
answer is, We do not 1t has become
custom among printers to advertise marriage
contracts free Of charge. 1t is not a duty but
merely matter Of courtesy. AS a duty and
matter of courtesy, then, newly married folks
should subscribe at once for those papers in
which notice is given Of their co-partnership.
No consideration Of personal, political, or pc
cuniary interest should prevent them from
doing this. There is nothing like starting
right in the world, and if our newly married
friends consult their own comfort, convenience,
and interests, they will commence matrimonial
life by taking the paper or papers which insert
their marriages. The printer has as much
right to expect this as the minister has to ex-
pect his fee. Send in your names at once,
young married men, and we will put you
down on our list and warrant you long lives,
dutful and affectionate wives, and temporal
and everlasting felicity Cham Journal.

The MAGNET.-The magnet or loadstone is
an oxygen Of a peculiar character, found occa-
sionally in beds Of iron ore. The colors vary
in different specimens, but usually is Of dark
gray hue, and has dull metallic lustre. Il
was first discovered in Magnesia, Asia hence
the name magnet. It is found in considerable
masses in the iron mines Of Sweden and Nor
way, in the Isle Of Elba, in different parts Of
Arabia, China, Siam, in the Phillippian
Islands, and in North America Though
commonly met with in irregularly formed
masses only few inches in diameter, vet it
is found Of much larger size. One carried
from Moscow to London, few years since,
weighed l25 pounds, and supported more than
200 pounds of iron. Artificial magnets are
SO constructed as to have a greater intensity
Of attractive power than the natural ores 1t
has likewise been found that meteoric stones
possess strong magnetic virtue, resembling
the loadstone Of the earth.

There are exceptions to every rule but the
rule of three that is never changed. AS
your income is to your expenditures, so will
the amount Of your debts be to your cash on
hand and your consequent ability TO meet them
If you allow your vanity to lead you into ex-
travagance, you must rely on something else
TO take you out of it; either rich relation or
the sheriff. writ. Your furniture may be less
snowy than that Of your neighbor, but never
mind. Better are cane bottomed chairs and
mahogony table that are paid for, than spring
cushions and marble mantles on a note of six
months. Your coat may be less fashionable
than your neighbor's; and while he is driven
by liveried coachman, you may be riding
shank horse but remember there is a time
for balancing the books, and every purse has
got bottom. So, economise, and always re-
member the rule Of three.
