Marriage.

Nature never did betray the soul that loved
her. and nature tells man and woman to marry
Just as the young man is entering life-just as
he comes to independence and mans estate
just as the crisis of his being is to be solved
and is to be seen whether he decide with the
good, the great, the true, or whether he be lost
forever-matrimony gives him ballast and right
impulse. War with nature and she takes a sure
revenge. Tell a young man not to have an at
tachment that is virtuous and he will have one
that is vicious. Vrtuous love, the honest love
of the woman he is about to marry, gives him
an anchor for his heart; something pure and
beautiful for which to labor and live. And the
woman what a purple light it sheds upon her
path it makes life for her no ay-dream, no
idle hour, no painted shadow, no passing show
but something real, earnest, worthy of heart
and head. But most of us are towards, and
dare not think so we lack grace, we are of lit
tie faith our inward eye is dim and dark The
modern young lady must marry in style; the
modern young gentlemen marry a fortune. But
in the meantime the girl grows into an old maid
and the youth takes chambers-ogles at nur-
sery maids, and becomes man about town, a
man it is dangerous to ask into your house, for
his business is intrigue The world might have
had happy couple; instead, it gets woman
fretful, nervous, fanciful, plague to all around
her. He becomes skeptic III all virtue cor
rupter of the youth of both sexes; a curse in
whatever domestic circle he penetrates. Worse
may result. She may be deceived and may
die of broken heart.
He may rush from one folly to another; asso-
ciate only with the vicious and depraved bring
disgrace and sorrow on himself and all around
and sink to an early grave. Our cities show
what becomes of men and women who do not
marry. Worldly fathers and mothers advise
their sons not to marry till they can afford to
support wife, and the boys wickedly expend
double that amount in low company. Hence ii
is, all wise men Qike Franklin) advocate early
marriages and that all our great men with few
exceptions, have been married young Lord
Eldon was so poor he had to go to Clare-market,
London, to buy sprats for supper. Wordsworth
had only one hundred pounds year when first
married. Colridge and Southey we find had
no income at all when they were married. We
question at any time whether Luther had more
than fifty pounds ayear. We blast humanity in
its very dawn. Fathers, you say you teach
your sons prudence-you do nothing of the
kind your worldly wise and clever son is ruined
for life. You will find him at the o-table
and at frec-love circles. Your wretched worldly
wisdom has now taught him to avoid the snare
of marrying young and soon-if he is not in
volved in embarrassments that will last him a
life-he is blaze efellow-heartless, false, with
out single generous sentiment or manly aim

GRIEyIYG FOR LOST PEARLs.-It would be
hard to tell whether most joy or sorrow has
been caused at Notch Brook, N. j., by the dis
covery of the pearls. Dozens are bemoaning
fortunes that, in days past, they carelessly flung
away. One matron unavailingly sighs over
some little white things" that she once gave
her boys for marbles. schoolmaster lugubri-
ously remembers that he had chopped up eight
or ten thousand dollars worth with his knife,
to see what was inside" Another genius
rammed pearl bullet down his rife and shot
away his fortune. An old lady who chuckled
six months over her good bargain with the
peddler," now discovers that she paid him, in
pearls, about seven thousand dollars for calico
dress. 1t is needless to say she hasn't laughed
since. The unfortunate man who had the
$50, 900 once cooked for his breakfast has taken

MENTAL ExCITEMENT.-Bad news weakens the
action of the heart, oppresses the lungs, de-
storys the appetite, stops digestion, and par
TALLY suspends all the functions of the system.
An emotion of shame hushes the face; fear
blanches it joy illuminates it and an instant
thrill elcctrifes million of nerves. Surprise
spurs the pulse into galop. Delirium infuses
great energy. Volition commands, and hun
dreds of muscles spring to execute. Powerful
emotion often kills the body at stroke. Chilo,
Diagoras and Sophocles died of joy at the Gre
clan games. The news of defeat killed Phillip

hearing of the surrender of Cornwallis. Public
speakers have often died in the midst of an i'm
