MatrinlOny.

The happiness of the husband and
wife is mutually derived from each other;
they partake of JOY and sorrow. glory
and ignominy. wealth and poverty; they
are the same to each other in all the cir.
cumstances of life; the misfortune of one
is also the misfortune Of the other; moth
ing but the grave can sever the connec-
tion; even the bonds which unite brother
and sister. or parents and children. are less
enduring. The tender youth grown into
manhood. is now, perhaps, coutending
with the difficulties of the world around
him. receives no longer the protection OF
father and mother; his only solace is
the wife of his bosom, she, perhaps. has
fled from her pafernal roof, willing to
sacrifice everything for his sake. and
now cIings fondly to him for protection
and support.
Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1859-08-11
The Mammoth cave is distinguished

The Mammoth cave is distinguished
more for its vastness than its beauty;
the Wyandotte for its great extent. its
mammoth hall, its lofty ceilings, reaching
frequently to the height of s67 feet, and
especially for its beautiful and natural
fountains, which almost continually meet
the eye in every direction A portion oi
this cave has been known and visited for
over forty years. This portion is abou,
three miles in length. and is termed the
Old Cave. In 1850 a new door from with.
in the old cave was discovered, which ex.
tended the caves united to about twelve
miles in extent. In 1853 a still newer
discovery ofingress was accidentally made
which has added eight or ten miles there
to, and disclosed plan of formation NOR,
extensive and more beautiful than an,
heretofore known. This cave contains ev
cry biud Of formation peculiar TO the Nam
moth and other caves, besides sou,e yer,
peculiar and unique formations found onl,
in Wyandotte cave.

DoucLAsIN MIssoUM.-Judgs Douglas is not

DOUGLAS IN MIssoURI.-Judgs Douglas is not
without host of frierds in Missouri. The st.
Joseph West, aninhuential and ably conducted jour-
nalindepend and in politics, publishes Judge Doug
las recent letter upon the subject upon Of next
Presidency, and comments upon it as follows:
"What more can the Democracy ask They
have only to stand in 1860 where they stood in
so. Douglas simply requires them to give him the
Cincinnati Platform to fight upon as they gave it TO
Mr. Buchanan, snd he proposes to take it, too, not
with any new construction of bis own, but ''as er
ponudedby Mr.. Buchanan" in his letter acc epe,ing
his nomination. Is this the tone ofa renegade
a rebel-an apostate to Democracy! Is it not up.
on the contrary, the bold and earnest tone of 4
consistent Democrat, and if the Cincinnati Plat
form contained any matter worth approval by the
American peop!e' Here wefnd Douglss rein

Writing for the Press.

There is no class of people more fire.
quently sneered at than editors. 1t is
The easiest thing in the world to charge
them with being mercenary; to say that
such and such thing was paid for; that
anybody can have anything praised or
abused in paper, if he will pay for it;
and says wiseacre, every now and then.
'If l had newspaper here, wouldn't |
pitch into this or that. and wouldn't
show the people what an Independent pa
per is?" Well, my friend. why not es-
iablish paper and pitch into everything
and everybody" Nobody can object TO
your doing SO. The papers that are in
the habit of pitching into everything are
the easiest edited in the world. 1t is on
ly well practised and matured editors that
possess that wisdom and true indepen-
dence which consists in refusing to pitch
in that manliness that can withstand a
public clamor, that can scorn personalities,
and that can treat pabiic questions with
the dignity and soberness that can alone
secure respect for the press.

Visiting.

Regular visiting is, of all social evils
that are in existence, the most irksome,
both to visitors and visited--and is made
so, in great measure, by the necessity
there is for each party straining point
to be very agreeable. On one side there
is an effort at preparation. and often dis
play, which causes trouble and frequently
wearisome perplexities and inconvenience
and on the other is constrant of feel
