Unhappy Marrled people.

a contemporary gives advice to Gun
happy married people" class of beings
who, we trust, form but small minority
OF the community. But the experience
of our cotomporary would seem to have
been extensive. We quote for the beno-
lit of whom it may concern:
" 1t happens seldom that two human be-
ings are so cxquisitely adapted to one
another, by nature and education, that
they can acquire the art of living happi-
" together without both being compelled
to make painful sacrifices of habit, taste
and feeling After the glow and delu-
sion of the honeymoon are past, each has
to learn that the other has faults which
were not perceived before each has to
discover that the other is a fallible and
limited human being not an angel, not
a hero, not saint Each has acquired,
in their previous course through life, a
bundle of those obstinate things called
habits, some of which are sure to seem
unreasonable and unwise, and none of
which can be laid aside without an effort.
Each has formed strong attachments, and,
perhaps, strong opinions. The habits
conflict, the opinions clash, and unless
each Of the mated two cherish the true
spirit of friendly compromise, unhappi-
ness is certain to follow quick upon the
tumultuous joy of the espousals.
" Generally, this spirit of mutual con-
cession is not acquired immediately
The art of living together justly and joy
ously is one which is intrinsically diff
cult, and upon which the appointed teach
ers of men throw little light If tenth
part of the genius and toll which have
been wasted upon questions of metaphy-
sizes, had been expended upon Calculating
the laws relating to the human temper,
we should by this time, probably, have
reached important and definite principles,
the knowledge of which would greatly
smooth the path that leads to married
happiness. AS it is, we have all to solve
the great problem unassisted, and to learn
the secret after many months or years Of
experience, more or less bitter according
as our own natures are more or less rea-
sonable. One error, VIC find, is cherish
ed by nearly all unhappy married people,
namely: each thinks that the fault is on
the other side. The husband takes ii
for granted that all would be well with
them if only his rife were little differ
ent from what she is, and the wife feels
sure that perfect happiness would be the
instantaneous result if only that husband
of hers were not quite so unreasonable.
In almost all cases this opinion is errone-
Gus There cannot be quarrel unless
both are in fault. There can seldom be
permanent arrangement without previ.
Gus fault on both sides"

FALL TURNIPs,

Later than the first week in August,
fall turnips ought not to be sown. In
deed, all things considered, the last weel,
in July will be found preferable for seed
ing down to turnips. But if, as is very
probable, owing to the backwardness 0!
the season, and the comparative slow
growth Of the corn plants, the prepare
tory labors for getting in crop of tur-
nips have been delayed; there is no help
for it but to seize the earliest opportunity
to put the ground in order. We may
add, that deep ploughing, high manuring,
and thorough pulyerization Of the soil
are all especially necessary for the pro-
duction Of plant which is so rapid in
its growth as the turnip, and which oc-
cupies the ground for so short time 49,
If the barn-yard manure should happen
to be deficient in quantity, Or the farmer
desires to reserve it for his winter grain,
there is no root to which special fertil-
GERS can be more judiciously applied than
to the turnip. Bones dissolved in sui
phuric acid acs like a charm upon this
crop. But the best quality Of manipu-
lated guano, which not only contains the
phosphatcs in a soluble state but also
ammonia, and various other essential
salts, will be found Of still superior eff
cacy, aad the ease with which it can be
obtained, and the readiness with which
it can be applied, should give it the pre-
ference. IL barn-yard manure is used for
turnips, it should be well rotten, and
where the turnips are to be sown broad
cast, it is better to plough one-balf of
the manure under; and TO top-dress the
field with the other half If the drill
system is adopted put the manure in the
drills as for potatoes; Gatten down the
ridges; SOW tbinly along the top, and
cover lightly. The subsequent cultiva-
ton is to keep the soil clean and light,
and TO thin out the young plants to from
four 10 six inches apart.

One GREAT STATEsMANs OPINloN on
ANoTHER-CLAY AND BREcKNRlDGE.-
Our gallant candidate for the presidency
possesses the same qualities for a popular
leader which so cndcared Henry Clay to
the masses Of the wing party. Among
these qualities is the heightened courtesy
and generosity which Mr.. Clay was ca
pablG Of displaying towards those who
were opposed to him in poltics---a cir
cumstanco in Mr.. Clay's character hap
PLY illustrated by the congratulation ex-
tended by him to Mr.. breckenridge upon
the latter's election 10 Congress. Tho
New Orleans Delta reports Mr.. Clays
congratulatory speech as follows:
Major breckenridge, | congratulate
you. You are worthy to represent the
people Of this district, whose esteem and
favor have been the chief objects of my
ambition, and the most precious rewards
Of my long and laborious life ;" aud then,
dropping his voice TO the milder tone of
affection, he added: "My dear John, DO
true to your name, Mover forget you
are Kentuckan and Breckenridge,
aud the highest honors Of the Republic,
or, what is more valuable, the conscious
ness Of having served well your country,
will be your glorious reward"
The prediction INDUCED in by the elo-
quent wing leader is in n rapid process
Of fulilmcnt. Tho next highest honors
Of tho Republic which Clay prophcsied
for Major Breckenridge have already been
conferred upon him by an appreciatiye
and admiring people; and we believe
they are about to bestow upon him tho
very highest Thus tho people Of this
nation will dispose Of its honors most
worthily, and vindicate the foresight Of
Clay. whose lesson corrcsponded so ex-
actly with the impulses Of John G. Brock
inridgc's own nature.

Vol. VINO. So.

shorn of its pernicious strength There
is but one method by which this object
can be effected, and that is by denying
and disWoving the false position on
which it is founded.
We must, as party, insist unquali-
ticdly that III tho institution of negro
slavery there is nothing whatever which
calls for unfavorablc action by Govern
ment that the right of the white master
to the services of his negro slave is, in
every moral sense, precisely the same as
his right to any other property.
If this proposition be not true, no
honest man ought to desire the porma-
nency of our Republic; if it be true, the
black-republcan doctrine is reasonable
and destructive fallacy
am in favor Of the principles enuu-
ciated in the Senate resolutions Of 1860,
and in the report of the committee on
resolutions made to our National Con-
vcntion at Charleston, because they came
up to this point. They meet the ext
gency before us; they fairly and directly
meet the issue as it is understood by all
honest and sensible men on either side.
am in favor of Breckenridge and
Lane, because they stand upon a platform
distinctly expressing these principles.
MIR. Douglas declines practically to
stand up to them. lie blinks the main
issue, and seeks to ride into power upon
a dogma which implicitly comedies to
abolitionisn the vital element of its po-
litical power, to witt that negro slavery
is unjust, or at least has in it some elc-
ment which, on moral grounds, justifcs
hostility
His friends may deny this construction,
but to my mind it is manifestly just. The
whole practical importance of his popular
sovereignty doctrine is in its bearing on
the slave question No one cares fig
about it, except in this single connection.
In all its other bearings it is an admitted
abstraction, unworthy Of a moments at
tcntion and incapable of attracting it.
Let any man who doubts this read Mr..
Douglass argument as published in IIar-
per's Magazine, and his subsequent reply
to Judge Black in defence of that arti-
Gle. Slavery is the staple Of his whole
argument. The phrases and postulates
of the anti-slayery agtators are invoked
by him at every point in the discussion,
and most literally used to sustain his
views.
Thus, to all practical purposes, Mr..
Douglas presents himself as a scmi-abo-
litionist. His platform tends to keep
abolitionism alive. as n power in the
State, for future mischief The platform
of Breckenridge and Lane assails the
hydra in front, and aims to STAY it out
right.
Whilst | am thus with you in senti-
ment, and to the extent Of my humble
powers am ready to aid in your object, |
cannot lose sight Of the policy which re-
quires thorough union Of all New
Workers who are opposed TO the election
of Lincoln. Concurring with that emf
ncnt and patriotic citizen Of Pennsylva-
mia, VIM. b. Reed, believe that there
are three candidates for the presidency
preferable to the one whom every aboli-
zionist or anti-slavcry agitator in the land
supports. CHI. O'CONOR.

HOPES OF THE PAST.

The hopes gone by, the hopes that made
A golden path to other years;
Ere yet our hearts had known a shade,
Or life had lost what life endears;
The bounding heart, the spirits play,
The thoughts that seemed on wings to fly
We ask in vain-ah where are they
The days, the dreams, the hopes gone by
The brightness and the bloom have fed,
And life seems cold as winter snow;
For some are changed, and some are dead,
That knew and loved us long ago!
Those golden visions come no more,
As once they came when hope was high,
But dear till life's last pulse is DER
Win be the days, the hopes gone by

How THE THISTLE SAVED SCOTLAND
The following is related as the origin of
the use of the thistle as the national en-
blem of Scotland When the Danes in.
vaded Scotland, they awaited themselves
of the pitch darkness Of night to attack
the Scottish forces unawares. Ia APP
preaching the Scottish forces unobsorycd,
and marching bore-footcd to prevent
their tramp being heard, one fthe Danes
trod upon large prickly thistle, and
the sharp cry Of pain which he instantly
uttered, suddenly apprised tho Scots Of
their danger, who Immediately ran to
their arms and defeated the foe with
great slaughter. The thistle was thence
forward adopted as the national insignia
Of Scotland
