TIE Drunkard with Scolding Wife.

Bro. GoEMAN In my humble opinion
it would be difficult to conceive of a more
wretched and miserable situation, than the
caption of this communication indicates
That there are thousands of such instances
in the world, no one will deny, who is even
partially acquainted with the history of the
world, or who is honest enough to admit
what is strictly true. Might it not be we'll
to institute an enquiry into the causes that
are in operation, tt at naturally and certain
ly produce these results And if the eau
ses can be ascer tained, may it not be pos
sible to suggest remedy, yes, a never-fail-
ing remedy? The first inquiry / would
make is, whether the husband has become
3 drunkard in consequence of having a
scolding, termagant of wife, or has the
wafe been led to scold in consequence o
having drunken husband? These are
pertinent and important interrogatories
and correct and truthful answer will fur
nlsh the starting point of all the wretched
ness that naturally and necessarily results
from such promises or antecedents.
On the supposition that a husband
drunkenness was the cause of his wife
scolding, it would follow that the husban,
was thirst in the transgression," but it b
no means follows, that the wife is at al
lustltlable In abusing and villifying her bus
band-for besides the command forbiddin
us to render evil for evil,''' it is in m
oplmon so far from being a remedy for IL
eorlateS, that it only aggravates il, an

A Beautiful Thought.

Angels, in the grave, will not question thee
as to the amount of wealth thou hast left be-
hind thee; but what good deeds thou hast
done, while in the world, to entitle thee to
seat among the blest,-
Andlyet the worlds run mad after money.
Men forget God, eternity, and the terrors Of
hell and endless damnation, in the avar;cioua
squabble for wealth. How humiliating is ths.
thought Honor, truth, justice, humanity.
fair dealing and charity are buried in the sea,
of forgatfulness. How like thunder clap
will the inquiry ring upon the ears ofsouas
of US, when the angel asks, what good
deeds have we perpetrated while living p
Our minds will scan over the records Of the
past, but in vain will it search for our good
acts; but every mean transaction, every SLAM
derous word spoken of our neighbor, every
unfair dealing with our customers and friends.
will come thronging into the chambers Of
memory, and the soul will sink condemned.
under the accumulated load of guilt. Wealth
can never purchase happiness in this life, nor
in that which is to come, and when the dread
messenger calls for the immortal soul, all the
gold of the universe would fail to purchase .

Two Reasons why Bachelor is Bache-

ASHORE, N. c.


I believe it is not denied, that ia youth
the heart is most susceptible of love-or.
that it is less able to resist its fascinating
influence. This is consequence of the
fact, that, at this age-the age of puberty
the animal propensities are very nearly
or quite fully developed, while the mental
faculties, which do, or oughtl to control the
former, are not. The animal preponder-
ating, usurps the government, and we, in
accordance with philosophic law, obey
the stronger force, and are led from the
study of books and general human nature,
to the study of pretty faces and acoman-
nature. At this time of life every little
round face, ensconced in neat little oys-
ter-shell bonnet, reflects Cythera's image
upon the plastic heart; and every form
that is shreaded in ten yards of fashiona-
BILE, fashy dry goods-made to "stand
round" by half ascore of hoops-bears Ju-
nonian symmetry and majesty.
As, however, the mind is developed, IT
gains the ascendancy over, and, to some
degree, subjects the animal man to its con-
troll. And this gives opportunity for.sobeE,
earnest thought on the important subject
of matrimony, its various relations and re-
sponsibilitics, and the obligations growing
out Of these rclations-opportunity fol
viewing the subject from practical ant
moral point of view-for studying femal,
character and the various tempersments
