the possibility of any discord after marriage,
the second is the best and surest preserva-

Tell me- said Lousia, auxiously.
The first is this--to demand of your
bridegroom, as soon as the mrrriage cere-
mony is over, solemn vow, and promise
yourself, never even in jest, to dispute OF
express any disagreement tell you new
er,--for what begins in mere bantering,
will lead to serious earnest. Avoid express
ing any irritation at one another's words
Mutual forbearance is one Of the great Sc
crets of domestic happiness. If you have
erred, confess it freely, even if the confess
ion cost you some tears. Further, promise
faithfully and solemnly never upon any
pretext or excuse, to have secrets or con
ccalments from each other, but to keeE

What would you have taken for that lit
tie baby, old man a--what was it that
made you go later to work and return SO
much earlier to the cottage a-what was
it that made you step so softly upon the
the floor and glide SO stealthily about the
house s-what wasit, that made you laugh
outright while hard at work in the field,
or burst into tears even amid your songs
You were fathert-that was it.
That was long time ago and, since
then, your girls and boys have grown up,
married, and settled down in life. I ven
ture to say, that Julia is as dear to your
heart as ever; and though her once bright
blue eyes are growing dim, and the frosts
of age have fallen upon her once beautiful,
soft, brown hair, you can still call her
"dear julia" and bless God for the sweet
memory of your "Love, Courtship and
Marriage
The love, that throned her ever, as
The idol in your heart
The love that gave you all the bliss
That heaven could e'er impart-
The love, that gave you all of life,
And made it sweet as heaven

The Myrtle and Night Shade.

was once the owner Of sweet myrtle
] which ! priced very highly. The shrub it
self was not particularly beautiful, nor were
It's white blossoms and feathery ssanens as
snowy as some other flowers, but Ilovcd il
Tor its perfume. Its faintest odor was hke
the breath Of love upon my heart, so soft,
mysterious and silent was its thrilling i.
power
Tony young imaginatiou, this iavorite
myrtle was thing Of life and sense. Glad
ness and welcome we're in the gentle mo-
ton Of its shining leaves; peace aud happi-
ness In the pure white blossoms, and a kiss
of love in its rare perfume. Morning and
evening | went to it, as toaa dear friend,
for whom felt an unspoken sympathy.
Once, in the springtime, found small
plant of a dark green hue, growing near
the root of my myrtle. At first it was so
small and Insignificant that l did not think
of plucking it up. As it grew larger be-
gan to wonder what it was, and at last con-
cluded to let it alone, and see what kind of
bowers it would have. At length it bud
ded, and then bloomed pale, sickly white
bloom with disagreeable odor.
Then | knew it must come up, but ne
elected it from day to day. Every time
looked at it / felt qualm of conscience,
such as we always feel when neglecting
duty. Something occurred that prevented
me from noticing it for several DAYS, and
when | saw it again my myrtle was dead (

tears, and sitting under It's hfeless branch

tor, and received the reward Of such DISC
bedience. My beautiful lnyrtle had been
dying by slow degrees, while was proerss-
tinating so carelessly. But WHY sheald
the poisonous, hateful thing have strong
er hold on life than the lovely myrtle a.
Aye, that was question. Thsre was ma
ny aparallel case. Purity and innocence
die away by continual contact with the
wicked and the depraved. This is law
of nature 1t is easier to fall than rise.
Then let us beware Of the night shades
of society, for under their influence the
myrtle will die. And above all, let us
guard cur own hearts, lest the poisonous
seeds of pride, malice and revenge spring
up and destroy the buds of promise, and
the blossoms of love and peace.

Oh mol 1t is the riches we keep that

A COOP REroRr.-A lady of our ac-
quaintance, says the Richmond Nelcs, was
passing up one of our principal thorough
fares, few days since, when she was met
by young man full of bad whiskey, who
was laboring very strenuously to preserve
his equanimity, and prevent the discovery
of his condition. In endeavoring to avoid
collision with the lady in question, he
lost his balance and stepped on the skirt
Of her dress, when he turned towards her
and remarked, by way Of apology, "Hoops
take up too much room." The lady look
ed at him and very quietly retorted, Not
SO much as whiskey, sir" and passed on.

GETTING DRUNK ON SUNDAY.-Father
Sullivan, the Catholic priest in Northamp-
ton, Mass, has administered a severe casti-
CATION to those of his flock who improve
their Sundays getting drunk. He alluded
to the fact that eleven of the lay members
were arrested on recent Sunday, and
threatened hereafter to proclaim in open
meeting the names of those who should be
found drunk and disturbing the public
lpeace.

Rev. THOMAS P. HUNT-Many of our
readers are acquainted with this venerable
and able advocate of temperance, and will
be pleased to learn that he is still doing
good service in the cause. We have been
much interested in reading recent letter
of his to Rev. John Marsh. We have not
space for the entire letter, but give few
sentences embodying his opinions on some
and his opinions are AWAY fsa Sssssassss suelec.

| What did say was this: Out of man,

the pledge under me, very few kept it un
to the end, unless they became new crea
lures in Christ Jesus, &c. More recently
those who become drunkards, cannot be a

a Withering Appeal to Dealers in Strong
Drink.

The following eloquent appeal is from
the pen of the Rev. Alexander Duncan
The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1859-07-08

The arrival of the steamers Adelaide Vigo, and
Asia, brings us intelligence from Europe down to
the 18th ult. A brief despatch from the Emperor
NAPOLEON, dated at Cdndia-probably Carriana
or Candelo-the day previous, announced another
great victory over the Austrian forces on the
banks of the Mincio. The battle is stated to have
lasted sixteen hours, but for the details we shall
have to wait until the arrival of the next steamer
An Austrian despatch TO Vienna confirms the fact
that battle had been fought, but avoids all
ausion as to its result. The rumored treaty
between Prussia and Austria is denied, but the
movements of the former still continue to create
uneaSiness. 1t is also stated that the French EN-
PERoR has demanded permission to march 81 900
troops through Hanover to the borders of the
Rhine; but the statement is no more worthy of
credence, than a similar one to the effect that
Prussia had threatened to march an army into
Hungary, in case of an instruction in that pro,
vince.

FAITHFUL AND HONEST 0FFIcER.-Major Ben
McCulloch, late United States Marshal of Texas,
has not only resigned his office, but upon settling
his accounts, the government found due him SIS O6

about half million more, and vet he did not hold

against the government.

only thirty-eight years have passed since the
hrst grant for the first public railway ever con-
structed, received the sanction of the English
House of Parliament, and even the calculations
for that, Notwithstanding there were locomotives
at work on the tram-ways of the collieries were
based ON the employment of horsepower. It is
curious to trace in the biography of GEORGE
STEPHENSON, and by the aid of the additional
light that has been thrown upon the subject by
the London Times, the progress of this ''the first
''of the great revolutionary inventions to which

encounter from the ignorance of men acknowl-
edged to be intelligent in other respects, and its
FINAL triumph by the successful assertion of its
claim to be recognized as the greatest achievement
of the age, and one of the grandest instruments
of its civilization. The railway, as we have al
ready intimated, had its origin in the old tram
way, which was in use for conveying coal cars
from the English collieries to the nearest canal,
where the coal barges were freighted for market.
