Don't be a Bachelor.

Young man, don't live crusty bachelor.
1t is not good for you. 1t will neither i'm
provo ,your morals, your health, nor your
beauty. Marry as you. eau make it con.
vcnlent, and as you can shape your affairs
to support wife, But don't fall. in love
with a face instead Of woman. Remem-
Der that common sense is rare virtue,
much better than silver and gold and fash
ion. Don't court and marry crinoliue and
money bags, simply because it is crinolino
or gold in plenty but look fcv sound,prac,
tical sense in woman first; that is the
touchstone TO Try her other qualities by.
When you have that, all else comes Your
wife that is to be, II she is ful of common
sense, will grow to your way of thinking,
and make you grow TO hers. A woman
who has womanly love in her heart, will
find ways to make your love toward her
ow, as the years go over you both. And
another thing needs TO be needed, aud that
is---a common. sense woman is not to be
found where fashion insists upon dragging
young females into whirl, where there is
simply idle gossip and little brain.
Young man! don't stand looking after
that young woman who has the distinguish
ed air, The reputation of flirt and belle,
and whose father has heaps of cash; for is
it not possible that while you are strainng
your eyes that way, you may be turning
your, r,backIupon some unobtrusivc little dam
sci whom Nature has cut out for your 9th
er half, and who may be just that pleasant
faced, placid-tempercd, lovablo little crea-
lure who will think enough of you TO go
with you to the end of the world, and stay
10y and comfort you when you get gray
haired and fidgetyl
Marry, young gentlemen, and keep your.
selves out Of scrapes. Have something to
livefor A manalone in the world isn't more
than half Il man, aud the world wants en-.
tire men, So mend yourself and be hap
py, and you shall have reason TO say il was
u good thing you resolved TO marry, and
refused to be solitary, beer drinking, pipe
smoking bachelor-if you succeed as well
in your effort as he who, once young man
like you, is now simply the old, con,en,ed,
and comfortable Uncle Benjamin, -Lifc

TIE ladies of Washington, bless them !
have suggested that throughout the Union
contributions be made by their sex toward
placing Lieut.. Hcrndon's family in comfort
able circumstances. This would be sub
stantial token of gratitude for the generous,
self-sacrificing services which he rendered
to the women and children, whose safety,
when the loss of the steamer became certain,
was the first object of his care The chill
drcn will claim share in this contribution
The Washington L'Mion adds that the sword
and several boxes containing cffcctsof Lieut.
llerndon, were placed by him, before he
left that city, in the keeping of Mr.. James
G. Mcclure. They now have a melan-
choly interest to all beholdcrs, and remind
them of the gallant and humane services re-
Gently rendered to the women and children
of the Central America in saving them from
the peris of the wreck. The entire coun-
try is now awaiting with intense solicitudc
for further tidings of the noble seaman,
there still being a ray of hope that he was
rescued by some friendly ship.

Hot corn has been subject worthy of big

is hot corn, compared with popcorn? Only
as week is to the countless ages Hot
corn is confined to the large wicked cities.
1t comes with summcr-goes with the ear

never ending. 1t is met in the thronged
thoroughfare, in the political caucus, and
in the concert room, and it supplants pea
nuts in the theatre. Great is the comfort
of paper of popcorn, when one has moth
ing to do, and sweet it is to chew, instead
of the cud of bitter fancy.

AN IMPORTANT Observation-Disclosures Benja-
min Hardridge occupies nearly page in the
New York Tribune in announcing a discovery
by which he claims ito liquIfy quartz rock, to
extract the last particle Of gold or other metal
which that rock may contain, and to hold that
rock in the form OF a liquid in casks and hogs
heads ready to be turned back into rock again
as it is needed. thus affording new material
for building, cheaper than brick, and as beau
tirul as precious stones!" He can do this at
the rate Of fifteen tons a day! BY way OF
support to this claim, Prof. Girard, Of the
Smithsonian Institute; Prof Adelherg and j.
Z. Schwabe, of New York; Prof. Maffott. late
United States assayist, and others, accompany
the announcement of the discoverer with their
certificate that his claim is not uniounded,
that he can accomplish the wonderful feats
which he claims to perform. What next?

The Leglslature.


The Editor of the Rockport Democrat, r.
S. Hicks, Esq. who has been assistant clerk
Of the House during the present winter, and
has therefore had the most favorable oppor-
tunities Of watching the course of events at
Indianapolis, and for forming just estimate
Of those who exercise the Legislative power
of the State, makes the following just and
sensible comments on the evils We are now
enduring from factious and incompetent Leg
lslature.
THE session Of the General Assembly is
now drawing rapidly to a close and no bill Of
in our opinion. The Senate and about one
third Of the House are composed OF such dis
cordant elements, that it is an utter impOsSi-
bility to bring them together on any question
Of legislation, squirting towards politics, such
as the apportionment bill, Temperance law or
election of State officers. The Republicans
of both branches invariably thrust their fanat-
icsm into every act of Legislation attempted
by the Democracy to benefit the masses Of the
people. There remains but ten or eleven
working days of this session and all bills of
importance remain Enacted upon. Twenty
bills, or thereabout, is the sum total OF the
work dole by this General Assembly, and
these arc bills Of no particular importance to
the community. And to pass these little in
significant enactments, it has cost the hard
working yoemanry Of the State not less than
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Yer
lily things are coming TO pretty pass when
labor has to be ground down to the dust by
heavy taxation to keep up such farce legis-
ation. But at whose door, are these evils to
he laid?
We answer, most unhesitatingly, to tie fac
tious spirits in both Of the rival parties. We
concur heartily in the following remarks, ex.
cepting we do not care il the people viii
elect majority Of good men, to which party
they belong, whether they he Republicans OIL
Democrats:
The Senate are doing but little or nothing
their time mainly being taken up by politi
cal wranglngs. The House has passed many
a. is Of importance to the peoplt: but they
sleep upon the files Of the Senate, and their
fate yet remains unknown. If legislation Is
in future, to be confided to such dscordan
materials as compose the present General AS
ISemby, it were better that the State &C
without Legislature in the future. For al
the good such assemblies can accomplish, vii
certainly he overbalanced by squanderlns
of the public fun Is. 1t would be much bet
ter for the interests Of the State, and rebound
to the credit of the people, il, they. hereafter
should elect majority of good Democrats t.
both branches Of the assembly, and ther
there can he no earthly motive or excuse fo
blocking the wheels Of legislation. We have
unlimited confidence, however, in the intclli
gence and capacity of the masses for selfgov
eminent, and firmly believe that everytbin;
will come out right yet. The great mass o
the people, seldom err, and when perchanc
they do go astray through excitement
. the sober second thought rect,fies the mis-
take.
