ness Of youths morning, to own tina,
the aim with which ayoung girl sets
out, and the object Of her existence
is to marry rich man that she was
endowed with beauty so Tint she
might buy wealth and title with it;
that as sure AS she has soul to be
saved, her business here on earth is to
'ry and get rich husband. That is
the career for which m my u woman
is bred and trained. A young man
begins the world with some aspiri.

and follow the truth : he will strive to
win honors for himself, and never do
a base action; he will pass nish,s
over his books, and lorcgo ease and
pleasure SO that he may achieve n

worn out now and old, and bankrupt
Of fame, and money too, has com.
mcnccd life at any rate with noble
views, and generous schemes, from
which weakness, dIcness, passion, or

Duration Of Vegetable L1e.--Lord

Duration Of Vegetable LJe.--Lord
Lindsay states that in the course Of his
wandering amid the pyramids Of
Egypt, he stumbled on a mummy,
proved by its hieroglyphics to be at
least 1000 years of age. In examin-
ing the mummy after it was unwrap.
ped, he found in one OF its closed hands
tubcrous or bulbous root. He was
interested in the question how long
vegetable life could last, and he there
fore took that tuberous root from the
mummy's hand, planted it in a sunny
soil, allowed the rains and dews of
heaven to descend upon it, and IN the
course of a few weeks, to his aston
ishment and JOY, the root burst forth
and bloomed into beauteous dahlia.

A CouIcAL ISCIpEYT.-ln Worcester
(Mass.) paper we find the following.
Just as the train was about starting for
Greenfield, on Friday morning, on the
Vermont and Massachusetts railroad, a
sprightly little woman with child took
n seat in the car near where was sitting.
The cars were beginning to move, and the
little woman looked anxlously through
the end window Of the rear car for her
missing h .sband, who was in the depot
attending to the purchase Of tickets, &c.
The speed OF the cars increased, and the
woman looked more anxious. The nus.
band now appears, and commences to
rnn. lie ga:ns on the cars at first, but
,hey arc too Ear ahead OF him, and soon
are leaving him behind, although he "dld
run well for season." 1t is now the
wIles turn to try and see what she can
do. In agony she implOres the conduc.
TOR tbs, hes husband is left, but he can't
helm that. al am starting on journey,
and can't get along without my husband" /"
"Then let him attend to his business next
time, twas the cold answer. "But," says
the keen Yankee woman, 81 have no
money with me-" the brakes were ap.
piled, and the cars brought to a stand
sill, and the painting husband enters the
cars, to the delight af all the passengers
especially OF his wife.
Moral.-Money will stop a train o
cors much quicker than husbands.

PosrAoE SrAMps.-The government is
enjoying the benefit Of lolerably largo
loan from tho people. on which it pays
no interest, and, from the nature OF the
case, will probably never have to repay
the principal. This is the amount Of
postage stamps already sold. but no,
used.
The returns for each succeeding quar-.
ter, from the commencement of treir use
in the United States show lha! the pub.
lie have been gradually purchasing them
in larger quantities than they use them.
until at this time the government has been
paid near y million Of dollars for post.
Oge stamps and stamped envelopes,
bought by individuals and postmasters,
which have not thus far been used by the
purchasers.
AS fast as tho government ledeems these,
by performing the mail service they en-.
title the holder to, it issues others. A
considerable number are necessarily
purchased and kept continually on hand
in advance Of their use, by business men
and others, and another considerable
amount are doing duty as a circulating
medium for small remitcnces by mail.
Hence il evident that the government
gains by them (to the extent 100000
or morc) the permanent advantages that
bank Of issue does by its circulating
notes. 4Dany Erening Journal.

LEGISLATIVE UNION AND AMERICAN

Two years ago, the publishers OF
this paper made an experiment Of pub
fishing Legislative paper, devoted
exclusively to the publication of i'm,
partial Legislative reports and official
State documents. In II pecunlary
point of view tie experiment was not
successful, but the great usefulness of
such reports has been proved, and we
have determined to issue the Legisla-
tive Union and American during the
ensuing session, in greatly improv-
ed form. Our Senate reports two
years ago. were meagre. We shall
have regular professional reporters
during the next session, in both
Houses, and pay the same attention
10 the reports OF one House as to the
other. The paper will appear in an
improved form, more convenient for
binding and reference than that of the
last session. For the entire and strict
impartiaIty which will characterize it.
we can appeal to the former volume,
which in lis House reports, was ac.
cepied authority by both parties in
the last canvass. The terms will be
one dollar per copy, for the session. al.
ways in advance, or six copies for five
dollars.
Editors of papers in this State Civ.
ing the above an insertion and calling
attention to it will be furnished copy
during the session and also volume
bound at its close.

DARBY SELLING FOR HAY.-A Boston hay
dealer has been detected in curious fraud.
The hay was so loaded that person could
crawl into hole left near the bottom Of the
cart, and in this place colored man, in the
employ of the hay Spectator, was in the habit
Of concealing himself while the hay was being
weighed. OF course the live freight was upon
the top Of the load when it was delivered, and
the purchasers little suspected that either
fifty pound lump before them had been sold.
Some Of the purchasers have paid for him q
dozen times over, and begin to think it about
time to take possession.
