How JOHN SwoRE FOR BETTY.-The
law of the State of Virginia prohibits
marriage unless the parties are of law
full age, or by the consent of the pa
rents.
| John M, a well-to-do-farmer, In
the Valley of Virginia, was blessed
with every comfort except that deside-
ratum-a wife. John cast his eyes
around, but unsuccessfully, until they
fell upon the form of Betty-daughter
of John Jones-and one of the prettiest
and incest girls in the country. After
courtship of six weeks, John was
rendered happy by the consent of the
fair Betty.
The next day, John with friend,
went to town to get the necessary doc
uments; with the forms of procuring
which he was most lamentably igno-
rant. Being directed to the clerks
Office, John with good deal of hesita-
ton informed the urbane Mr.. Brown
that he was going to get married; to
get married to Betty Jones, and wanted
to know what he must do to compass
that desirable consummation Mr.
Brown, with bland smile, informed
him, that he, after being satisfied that
no legal impeachment prevented the GER
emony, would for the sum and consid
Grafton of So, grant him the license
John much relieved handed out the
necessary funds.

"DO you solemnly swear that Betty
Jones, spinster, is of lawful age, (made

ginia,) to take the marriage vow? ?"
"What's that ?" said John.

Every agiriculturist should be a
horticulturist. Horticulture renders
the tilling of earth more attractive
employment. 1t is more elevating and
refreshing to the mind. 1t qualities us
to Surround our homes with those orn-
aments and luxuries which render the
farmstead so inviting. By knowledge
of horticulture we may produce such
an endless succession of fruits and
vegetables, as to almost reproduce the
first garden. Then let us combine ag-
riculture with horticulture, and we may
render our farms and dwellings, so beau
tiful and attractive as to win the hearty
respect of all classes.

Taking it Easy.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times discourses philosophically and
quite POLITICALLY on the overflow of the
town of Napoleon, in Arkansas. Read
what he says:
"Ever since the overflow Napoleon
has presented very magnificent scene
to the eye of the traveller. To see city
in water in America is not an every
day occurrence; therefore, as you pass
down the great Mississippi, and see
the citizens of city going to and fro
in skiffs and dug-outs it is truly an in
interesting scene and should you wish
to tarry awhile in this well-watered
city to quench your thirst, as soon as
You step on the wharf you will find a
skiff, or might say skiffs, ready to car
ry you to the hotels, or to any part Of
the city you may wish to 60. And
should you wish to tarry { night or SC
with us, and should it chance to be g

ing rays of the moon and twinklins

would be very well entertained, "for
scarcely would the mantle of darkness
be swung over our Venice before you
would hear the sweet musical voices Of
our young and beautiful bellies ringing
across the waters, as they would sere,
made the entire city," This would Ger.
tainly be interesting and pleasing to
the musical ear, penetrating eye, and
keen wit of the poetical Northern high
lander. Thus you see we bear with il
very well.
"Our gentlemanly, intelligent, and
accomplished editor could not issue bis
overwhelmed paper for two or three
weeks, but as the water continued
high, and no prospect of falling soon.
his unceasing energy found room
sufficiently commodious for his press
hence we find him moving there, and
ever since issuing his valuable paper
regularly. Thus you will perceive that
we have not discontinued business in
the American Venice.

You see but little cotton growing, and

What our Imaginary Southern Pacific
Railroad Costs.

The Albany Journal says that it may
not be generally known that we are
building Pacific railroad. 1t is rath-
er an airy, -unsubstantial structure, the
rails being laid nowhere except in the
imagination but it has already cost us
good deal of money.
The road was begun about four
years ago. As our Government is a
Government which legislates always
for the South, and never for the North,
it was a foregone conclusion that the
railroad must be Southern railroad.
1t must connect with Charleston and
Mobile, instead of New York or Phila.
delphia, and must link the State which
talk Of forming Southern Confedera-
CIV to California and the Pacific coast
We began by sending out a corps Of
army officers to survey the Southern
route. The first route they surveyed
was q route through Texas. The
second route they surveyed was route
through Texas. The third route they
surveyed was route through Texas
And so on to the end of the chapter
every one of the dozen routes, with but
one or two exceptions, being a route
through Texas. This Texas engineer
ing took out of the Treasury about

moderate sum of $4,000, 900 a wagon

Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have q care, ye young and fair,
Be sure ye pledge with truth;
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days of youth.
For if We give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the "unwise" part
And "built upon the sand"
lis well to save, tits well to have,
goodly store of gold,
And hold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hopes and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things.
And he who piles up wealth alone,
Will often have to stand
Beside his Golfers chest, and own
It's "built upon the sand"
It's good to speak in kindly guise,
And soothe whate'er we can;
For speech should bind the human mind,
And love link man to man.
But stay not at the gentle words,
Let deed with language dwell;
The one who pities starving birds,
Should scatter crumbs as we'll.
The mercy that is warm and true,
Must lend helping hand,
For those who talk yet fail to do,
But "build upon the sand"
