BRIDAL OF THE RUINED.

And 20 thou crumble the sodden clay

Must come to me no moro--no more

But what care | what tho world will say
My bridal beds in the deep dark dell,
And to morrow--to.m smy wedding
day
Then bring to me tho snowyshroud,
And lay mo straight on yonder bier;
All earth is hid in murky cloud,
And why should longer Iarry herel
And place tho babe thus near my heart,
And take that wreath of flowers away,
A cold and still we will wait and start,
When the clock Shall tell my wedding
day!
Down in the depths OF the larksome glen,
Down where the worms Of earth Shal pile,
Away from the scornjng looks Of men,
And hidden from woman's sneering smile,
We will fold the sheet aronnd our breast
And welcome the worms Of the damp cold
clay,
For there we shall know how the weary
When tomorrow shall be my wedding
day
Tell me not it is hard to die

How IT WouD HAVE WORKED
The diary Of Washington just pub
lished informs us that when he made
his grand tour through the Northern
States in 1880, he took with him "his
slave Billy, his faithful attendant
through the Revolutionary war;
1t is very fortunate that General
Washington did not make his grand
tour seventy years later, and that he
did not take Michigan in his route or
he would have found him incarcerated
in the State prison for ten years, be-
cause he had introduced his "s!ave
Billy into the State. Nor is this all.
II similar laws had prevailed in tho
northern States during the revolution
ary war he would have been marched
of TO the penitentiary for having
with him "his faithful attendant. -
General Washington, according to the
Black.RepubIican code, was "a GRIM

Dear Sr:-Your fair correspondent,
"Lhuretta," wishes to know why court.
ship is more pleasant than marriage.
Permit me to answer her, as you have
had no experience in matrimonial af-
fairs, as yet, but if MADAME Rumor'
be true, it will not be long before you
lead fair one (and she is handsome
too) to the altar. Man is naturally
an cxcitable being. He labors for
excitement, he plays for excitement,
and he marries through excitement.
and when that object is once obtain.
ed, his excitement ceases. And then,
again, woman is to blame for mans
seeming neglect. Before they give up
all their pleasure for u "plain gold
ring and an empty name" they are
smiles. Perhaps if you had have
seen "Mrs. Lauretta" before she was
married, primp'ng up, curling her hair,
using her paints, and seeing that ev-
cry article Of her dress was properly
arranged. then she might easily ans
wer Eer own question, and know the
reason why man pays more attention
to lady before than after marriage"
1t is generally the ease as soon
AS lady is married, and rs soon as
she feels herself tied by the "Sillen
chord Of matrimony," she thinks she
has nothing else to do in the way Of
pleasing her husband. don't agree
that married woman should dress as
gaudiIy, or attend concerts as often as
when they are single, bat she should
be neM and study to please her hus-
band rs when he was carrying her to
the "pic-nics and concerts "Lauret-
Ia" speaks Of, Forrest assured nothing

Every girl who intends to qualify
for marriage should go through Il
course Of cookery.-EGchdnge
Yes, but how few nowadays go
through such a course Their whole
desire seems to be to dress, to have
sweethearts, and carry on innocent
hirtations." But we do not blame
them so much as we do their parents.
The mother, instead of learning her
daughters to cook, to wash, and TO at
tend to household duties in general,
does all these things herself, while her
daughters are allowed to visit, 90 to
places Of amusement, sit in the par.
lor, read novels, learn music, 70 to
parties, and do almost anything save
work. And that's the reason we have
so many delicate, salIow.faced, con-
sumptive females. Their mothers
train them wrong, and, we have heard,
they train them thus in order to "may.
ry them of' Oh . what a shame
When thus reared they may be married

mrstic accomplishments in a lady, far
more than outward show. OF course,
we would advise them to dress neat,
and always try to be neat, yet do not
ignore work. Remember that not cv.

may make one. Ifshe knows nothing

and such Il woman, we do hope, (should

necessity, we wish her to kno,o hou
these things are to be done. With US
it is good sign to see woman--a
young maiden, we mean--ready tc
help her mother on all occasions, tc
churn, to cook, to skim milk after she
has milked the COW, to sew buttons OF

Now, some of our friends may say
that we are writing this just to be mri

to not allow gew-gaws and piano ac

guardian saint Of the shoemakers, was
a Christian, who, with bis brother,
Crispinian, went from Rome to France
to propagate the Christian religion,
in 800, Of our age. Like many Of the
early christian teachers, the brothers
supported themselves by working at
their trade, which was that OF the
shoemaker. Tho day is celebrated
in many countries, but our shoemakers
have so little regard for their patron
saint, that the anniversary glides by

A young lady in Winchester, or
Franklin county, who has no doubt
been reading that we have sewing
machines for sale, oncloses the fol-
lowing in an envelope through the
Post Office, and requests that we
publish it. Who the lady is we do
not know. She signs her name "An
Acquaintance" but we have so MANY
acquaintance that such q signature
does not enlighten us at all as to who
she really is. But this we will say to
her; lfyou be such sewing machine
as one that is described in the piece be-
low, we will never rest contented uni
til you say "yes" in answer to a cer-
tain proposition we propose to make
you. We will stop trading in the late
style sewing machines and purchase
the one you seem to think is the best.
Hear what our lady acquaintance
has sent US.
The very best sewing machine a
man can have is q wife. 1t is one
that requires but kind word to SET it
in motion, rarely gets out of repair,
makes but little noise, is seldom the
cause Of dust, and, once in motion,
will so on uninterruptedIy for hours,
without the slightest trimming, or the
smallest personal supervision being
necessary. 1t will make shirts, darn
stockings. sew on buttons, mark pocket
handkerchiels, cut out pinalores, and
manufacture children's trocks out of
any old thing you may give it; and
this it will do behind your back Just as
well as before your face. In fact. you
may leave the house for days, and it
will 90 on working just the same. Ii
it does get out Of order little from
being ovcrworked, it mends itselftrom
being left alone u short time, after
which it returns to its sewing with
greater vigor than ever. OF course,
sewing machines vary a great deal.
Some are much quicker than others.
1t depends in a vast measure upon the
particular pattern you select.
If you are fortunate in picking out
the choicest pattern Of q wiie--one,
for instance, that sings whilst working
aud seems to be never SO happy as
when the husbands linen is in hand
the sewing machine is pronounced
perfect Of its kind; so much so, that
there is no makc-shit in the world
that can possibly replace it, either for
love or money. In short, no gentle
mans establishment is complete with
out one Of t!csc sewing machines in
the house
