IN AGE TO BE AVOID
= ED I'M MARRIAGE.


ED INV MARRIAGE.
May and December form = very uncon-
genial union. The frost in one either con-
geals the, fruitfulness of the other. or else
the bowers of the latter only seem produc-
tive enough to weave a garland out of to
deck the tomb of the first. Over in Brook
lyn, for instance, says an exchange. we see
a young woman of twenty-six arrested for
attempting to kill her husband, who is over
sixty years of age. What else but misery,
suspicion, and crime could follow a conjunc-
ton SO unnatural? Women grow old much
more rapidly than men, and hence it is that
ten, fifteen, and sometimes even twenty
years of seniority may exist, on the side of
husband, with advantage to the wife. 1t
furnishes her with that experience which
she cannot have enjoyed herself. 1t sup
plies her with that wisdom against which
her comparative youth would wish to lean
with undisturbed confidence. 1t gives her
that circumspection, that tact, that caution
which only arise from thorough knowledge
of the world, and without which her happi-
ness is subject to be perilled every day by
schemes of the artful and the hopes of the
unscrupulous. But forty years difference
in age between man and wife means an
amalgamation of opposites that will not stay
mixed. It's cement may be gold. but its
severance will be mischief, and may be
murder.
BALTIMORE COLLEGE OF DENTAL SURGERY.
The seventeenth annual commencement
of this institution took place in Baltimore,
on Friday evening last.-There were a
large number of Graduates. We observe
the names of the following from North
Carolina-James D. Fleming, Avis Haynes
Jones, George w. Monroe and Vines
Edmund Turner.
MOUNT VERNoN.-Such a length of time
has elapsed since the appearance of any
notice with regard to the purchase of
Mount Vernon by the women of America,
that we had almost conceived the impress
sion that the patriotic enterprise had been
abandoned We are gratifed to hear,
however, that such is not the case. and that
correspondence ON the subject between
Mr. Washington and Gov. Wise has taken
place, which will in due time be submitted
to the public; from which it will appear that
the proprietor of Mt. Vernon will soon
transfer the residence and burial place of
the Father of our country, directly to the
State of Virginia, to be held and consecrat-
ed in perpetuity for general homage, as the
Mecca of our Republic, and the worlds de-
votion, as the shrine of Washington.
JEWS VS.. GENTILEs.-Under this caption
the last Salisbury Herald administers
merited castigation to a set of Jew-peddlers
who are now rowing about the country dis
posing of their worthless merchandise to an
easily gulled people. The people are cheat
ed and our own merchants are swindled by
them. A respectable house in this town
would not keep such wares as they do, much
less attempt to sell them. There is now a
hook of such men having their rendezvous
in this town, whom it would behoove our
country friends to beware of.-Salis6ury

NOT KILLED.-Last week the weather
was SO balmy and invigorating we sat down
and penned complimentary editorial to it,
but no sooner had the words left the press
than change seemed to begin to steal over
it. This grew worse and worse until Mon
day night, when there was hard freeze,
making ice of nearly two inches in thick
ness. Hereupon, we began to think we
would have to report that all the fruit had
been killed, for in the meantime the sap had
got up in the trees as well as other things,
and they had all begun to bloom. However,
on a minute investigation, we find a good
deal of fruit still unscathed, although on
the eve Of blossoming. This is matter of
sincere qualification to lovers of good fruit.
