LADIES MARRYING aSrRANGERs.-How common
it is, for worthy ladies' widows and single girls,
to marry strangers upon very slight acquaint-
ance! The man may be a base william, and he
may have another wife, but if he have money,
is'a man of good address, and wears fine clothes,
those accOnPlist'ne1ats will pass him, while hon
est men, well raised, and of known integrity,
will be spurned In this country, the basest
williams living are admitted into good society, if
they have money and dress well.
However pale, dreary, and toilsome, single
life may be- an unhappy married life is ten times
worse. And these hasty marriages with stran-
gers alone for their wealth, real or imaginary,
are ever after full of innumerabe regrets-they
are a torment from which there is no escape but
by death.
Girls, our advice to you is never to barter
lifelong happiness for gold or fine clothes
When these are the only ties that bind two per-
sons together, the union cannot be otherwise
than unhappy. Avoid all such men, and such
tics, as you would famine and pestilence-death
and ruinl "Marry for love and work for rich
es, is an old and safe maxim. Never marry
for riches and afterwards work for love. This
you will find an uphill business.-Br Broaonlo,O's

Weare aware that we have done the book and
the poet injustice in not quoting more extended
ly, but as before stated, our crowded columns
must plead our excuse. The gimpses, howev-
err which we have given our readers are suffi-
cient to convince them that Willes is duly enti-
titled to seat on Parnassus-that he is a poet
of the first (Mormon) water and under other and
more favorable circumstances would gain n

We call special attention to the intense pathos
of the second stanza and defy the world to pro-
duce an equal. We would quote more largely
from this little volume, confident that many Of
our readers would commend US in so doing but
that our space will not justify. The Poet ap-
pears to be an old line Whig-strenuously ad.

more quotation from a matter Of fact song enti-s

his peculiarly poetIcal vein, shown, the adapted
ness of the Territory of Utah for manufactures
of every description, Mr.. Willes thus commences
his catalogue of articles, for the manufactures of

MExIco.---We learn by the last California steamer
that the John L. Stephens put into the port of Man
zanillo, on her way down from San Francisco to
Panama, and took on board President Juarez, of
Mexico, and his Cabinet At Aspinwall they took
passage for New Orleans intending to proceed to
Vera Cruz, where the Constitutonasts are still in
power. This accounts for the disappearance of
Juarez from Guadalahara some time since. His ap-
pearance on this side among his partisans will give
the latter renewed energy and may yet result in the
overthrow of the revolutionary government of Zu-
loaga Vera Cruz and several of the northern States
Of Mexico still adhere to the constitution Of 1851

THE CoNrNo Cry ELEcrIoN.-We are not quite
well enough versed in the genealogy Of parties to
decide whether there is, and, if 80, to what extent
any real difference between plugnglyism and Ameri-
canism, or know-nothingism. At any rate, it would
seem to be most clearly the duty of the people of
this city, at the coming election, to give their votes
against the American knownothing candidates for
mayor and other officers of the local government
We have had enough Of plug uglyism 1t came over
from Baltimore in the and from the taste it gave
us of its character, have hesitation in saying
public andprivate property are safer in the hands
Of an upright democrat, or an old-fashoned wing,
than in the custody Of plug-uglyism Baltimore is
about the last place we would copy from in estab-
fishing municipal government. We trust there
will be no Misrepresentation when the CITY election
comes off, and that Col. Berret gentleman most
worthy to fiji the Office, viii be triumphantly elected
mayor.

Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri, and
leave those States without labor In reopening
the slave trade we beg leave to suggest to the
thoughtful man Of the Wing that it might be well
to provide that all emigrantsp from Africa shall
be landed in Alabama and Louisiana, and go
through a certain process Of education or prep
