The Chief Ed of Man

With Difference to st. Paul, We be.
lieye that man was made to be mar
RED; and We appeal to all our spin
ster and widow readers for judgment
on this head between us and the
apostle. It is true that the cares Of
household are many-that children
are troublesome--that the expenses
of a family are heavy-that there
are occasional domestic jars in the
best regulated families; but after all,
are not these oyerbalanced by the
love, the sympathy, the society, which
are only to he found in the married
mans home2 The states of old
maidhood and old bachelorhood are
violations of the instincts OF nature.
Everything pluralises, from an emmett
to an elephant. 1t is unphilosophical
not to marry. If you have no per-
sonal prediction for wedlock, ooyu-
gate upon general principles. 1t Is
pleasant thing to sit at your own
table and see It gradually become
multiplication table; and when you
are about to start by Deaths train
on the long track to which there is
no terminus, it is decidedly more
comfortable 70 go off in the midst OF
an allectionate family farewell than
to have nobody by you save the
nurse and the doctor when the last
whistle is blowed.

Extraordinary Hail Storm Hail
~ Ten Inches Long.

A correspondent, writing from
Coleburg, Iowa, says:
On Sabbath afternoon Of the ODD
ult., we were visited by an extraor-
binary hail storm. seemedto orig.
mate IN southwesternly direction,
and IFS course was through this
place towards The northeast. Ii
extended over space of five miles
in width, and in all probability was
of considerable length. Many OF
he hail stones were prodigious in
their dimensions, and | thought
likely unprecedented in size
Some were ten inches in circum.
ference, while others were greater
in length, being from seven 10 ten
inches long. Many of them upon
examination exhibited mess and
various kinds of grass seeds, which
were received into the formation of
the frozen rain, and thus ere
borne through the upper elements
to an unknown distance. The
effects produced by this sudden and
almost unparalleled shower Of hail
were terrific.
