MATRIMONIAL.

The New Orleans Delta says:
A matrimonial epidemic is raging
throughout the South. Scarcely
an exchange comes to our table the
columns of which do not bear testi.
moDy of the fact. The list o.
marriages Ihake quite a feature il
the faces Of our cotemPoraries, and
one puts aside the paper with the en-
quiry, "Who uext?"
There is something in ,he atmos.
phere this season that makes the
white wings of Eros-the pleasant
est and sweetest of the minor gods
of Oiympus--swift to reach the lair
votaries of Hymen. Such bachelors
as peep out from a cherries win
dow On a cold frosty morning, deserve
the retribution which visits the con.
temners Of the boy-god. and if they
freeze in their very loneliness, who
cares? Not the Indies surely. The
reprobates ought to hide their dimin-
ished heads!
In this city, matrimony las be,
come epidemical. For some time il
was otherwise, bat happiness long de-
layed is gloriied and Intensified bliss
For. as Gerald Massey ought tc
know, from certain soul-experience
''As the earth with sea is bounded,
And the Winter-worlG with Spring,
So maiden's life is rounded
With golden wedding ring.
This old world is scarce worth seeing,
Till love waves her purple wing,
And we guage the bliss of being,
Thro' golden wedding rings'
Thank US for these lines, rosy.
Tipped maiden! They may induce
some lagging Lothario to pop th,
question with the rim of champagne
cork. What a sparkling of eyei
there would be after that

How to Make a Cheap Telescope.

Procure from an optician 36-inch
object gluss, (that is, convex glass,
which produces a focus of the sum- S
rays at the distance Of Sc inches,)
and a one inch eye glass, Chat is, a
convex glass producing a focus at
one iuch.) Employ tinplate work
er to make two tin tubes, one so
inches long, and about J inch in
diameter; the other 10 or ~ inches
long, and its diameter such that it
will just slide comfortably inside the
larger. Tie inside of these tubes
should first be painted or otherwise
lined with dull black. At the end
of the larger tube, an ingenious
workman viii have 20 difficulty in
securing the object glass, SO that 10
more than an inch diameter Of it
shall be exposed, and at the end OF
the smaller, the eye glass mnst be
fixed. When the open end CT one
tobe is inserted into the open end Of
the other, so chat the two glasses
shall be about 81 inches apart. a tel
escope will be present which will
magnify the diameter Of objects sc
times; or, in other words, will make
heavenly objects appear 36 times
nearer. With such a telescope, the
satellites Of Jupiter, the crescent OF
Venus, and the inequalities of the
surface of the moon may be distin-
guished. Galieo's telescope, with
which be made tie first discoveries
in the heavens, did not magnify
more.

SAD EFFECTS FROM JUMPING. Quite
"a sad and fatal accident befel young
man, residing some four or five miles
above town, on Friday, the 26th, by
indulging IN this amusement for exer-
else. 1t appears that he, in company
with Others. was trying to see how
far he could jump. After jumping
several times, be again made the at
tempt, falling at the end on bis back.
Having often done this before, through
sport, but little was thought of the
act by those around. Presently,
however, some began to entertain
fears that he bad lain too long, and
accordingly approached the spot
where he was ing, and found him in
an insensibIe condition, and bleeding
at the nose and mouth, having ruptur-
ed or broken blood-Yessel. He re-
covered somewhat on Saturday and
was able to walk about. On Sunday
evening, he was found in BED dead,
having died from the effects of his
liDjuries.--WayResbu Rspab.

she comes with Fairy Footsteps.

Sne comes with Fairy FootStep,
She comes with fairy footsteps,
Softly their echoes fall;
And her shadow plays like summer shade
Across the garden wall.
The golden light is dancing bright
Mid the mazes Of he r hair.
And her fair young locks are waving free
To the wooing of the air.
Like sportful fawn she boundeth
So gleefully along,
And as wild young bird she carolleth
The burden of a song.
The summer flowers are clustering thick
Around her dancing feet,
And on her cheek the summer breeze
Is breathing soft and sweet.
The very sunbeam seems to linger
Above that holy head,
And the wild flowers at her coming
Their richest fragrance shed.
And oh! how lovely, light ard fragrance
M:ngle in the life R,ishini
Oh! how fondly they do nestle
Round the soul that knows no SIM
She comes, the spiritof. our childhood
A thing of mortal birth,
Yet bearing still breath of heaven
Toredeem her from the earth.
She comes in bright-robed innocence
Unsoiled by blotor blight,
And passeth by our wayward path
a CLEAN of angel light.
Oh. blessed things arechildren, 81
The gifts ofheavenly love,
They stand betwixt our worldly hearts
And better things above.
They link us with the spirit-world
BY purity and truth,
And keep onr hearts still fresh and young
With the presence of their youth.

And seek you out where'er you be,

With merry songs and words of cheer

A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE

A MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANcE.--
A Kansas correspondent states that
the Free State party in that Territory
has suddenly disappeared. A con-
vention recently held to take steps
for admission as Free State, and to
arrange for future political move
ments, was very tbinly attended, and
finally adjourned without doing any
thing at all. This result is due
partly to the conviction that the con.
test is-over, and that Kansas can
never be anything but a Free State.
and partly to the desire of the peo.
{ pie of Kansas TO attend somewha,
to their own affairs. They are al
very actively engaged in cultivating
their farms, building houses an(
barns, and making themselves gen
! orally comfortable.
