HAsTY MARRIAGES Marriage ought
always to he question, not Of neces-

to be taught that a hasty, loyeless
union, stamps upon her as foul a dis
honor as one of those connections which
omit the legal ceremony altogether !;
and that, however pale, dreary and toll
some a single life, may be, unhappy
married life is ten fold worse-an ever
haunting temptation, an incurable re-
greet, torment from which there is no
escape but DEATH! +. y i. - -

STICK TO THE FARM.-Are pale ia

and independent circumstances We
think not, and for the same reason we
judge that farming is not beneath any
pursuit whatever, in all that makes a
man yirtuous, useful and happy; and
1t is surely to be regretted that nearly
all our young men should prefer mer-
camille life or profession, to the til
ling Of the ground at@their own quiet
homes. Not only is it to be lamented
on account Of their welfare, but also in
reference to the prosperity Of the coun-

contradicted, that the best interests Of
any country, are intimately connected
with the prosperity Of its agriculture
: IT DoN'r PAY.-The use of ardent
spirits is an unmitigated curse upon
any people. 1t underInines health,
ability for action, and prosperity-it
plants the most productive seeds Of vice
and crime. For all this it renders no
adequate return, nor any, except the
lelusive satisfaction Of temporary ex-

what in remembrance of it: that all communica-
