MENTAL INDEPENDENCE .- Every man
and every woman is brought up from
the cradle with a bias. The mind is
never sent into the worlds life unfetter-
ed. 1t carries with it always the heavy
chain ofhabit. The politics of the faith
er are usually the politics Of the son; tho
religious character of the household is
the seed of many more households Of
like faith. 1t is a strong aud admira.
BILE mind indeed, which, nursed in error
has the heroism and courage to begin
its own emancipation ltroquires more
courage to think different from the mul
titude, than it does to fight them. Tn,
first hero, therefore, was not he who
made the first conquest, but he who ut
tered the FIRST doubt.

The Bestway to Endure Matrimony.
I suppose there is a modicum of 70.
nance in most natures; and that if it
gathers about any event it is that of
marriage. Most pesple marry their
ideals. There is more or less fiction
and fallacious glory resting upon the
head Of every bride, which the inchoate
husband believes iu Most men and
women manufacture perfection in their
mates by happy process Of their ina
ginations, aud then marry them. This,
Of course, wears away. BY the time the
husband has seen his wife eat heartily
Of pork and beans, and, with hair friz-
zIed, and her old dress on, full of the
enterprise of ovorhauling things, he secs
that she belongs to the same race as
himself And she, when her husband
gets up cross in the morning, and un-
dertakes to shave himself with cold wa
ter and dull razor, while his suspondors
dangle at his heels, begins to see that
man is a very prosaic animal. In other
words, there is such thing as a honey
moon, Of longer or shorter duration; and
while the moonshine lasts, the radiance
oil the seventh heaven cannot compare
with it. 1t is a very delicious little de-
lirium--a febrile mental disease, which,
ike the measles, never returns.
When the honeymoon passes away,
setting behind dull mountains, or dip
ping silently into the stormy sea of life.
the trying hour of marriage life has
come. Between the parties there are no
more illusions. The leverish desire Of
possession has gone. vanished into graf
ihcution--and all excitement is roceded.
Then begins, or should begin, the bust
ness ofadapration. IfIhey fnd that they
do not love one another as they did,
they should double their assiduous at
tcntions to one another, and be Jealous
of everything which tends in the slight
est degree to separate them. Life is too
precious to be thrown away in secret re-
grots or open differences And let me
say to every one to whom the romance
Of life has fed, and who are discomfort,
ed in the slightest degree with thcil
condition and relations, begin this work
Of reconciliation before you arc a day
older.
Renew the attentions Of earlier days
Draw your hearts close together. Talk
the thing all over. Acknowledge your
faults to one another, and determine
that hencelorth you will be all in all tC
each other; and, my word for it, YOU
shall find in your relation the sweetest
joy earth has for you. There is nc
other way for you to do. If you are
happy at home you must be abroad; the
man or woman who has settled down
upon the conviction that he or she is at
tached for life to an unoongenial yoke
fellow, and that there is no way to es
cape, has lost life; there is no effort too
costly to make which can restore 70 it,
setting upon the bosom the missing
pearl

Uncle sam's Farm.


The amount Of land the United States
has for sale is almost incalculable. All
the people of fourteen States and five
Territories derive their title to their
land from the Federal Government, and
the records aud files ovidencing the in
ception of their rights, are preserved in
the General Land Office at Washington.
The public domain now covers a sur.
face exclusive Of water of /, ,I5O 100000
acres. The Government has sold about
l2O,GOO,OOO acres of land during the
last quarter of century, for less than
5l5O,O00, 600. twill thus be seen Un-
Gle Sans farm is still sufficiently large
for practical purposes, and though he
should sell of lands for centuries ia
come, he would have an abundance still
even if he does not enlarge his borders
by the annexation of Cuba, Mezico, and
half the rest Of the world.

A SINGULAR FAcT-Rodds Marked L. A gentleman whose character is entire ly beyond doubt, and who vouches him. self for the fact stated, informs us that in Coffee and the adjoining counties, within the past few weeks, all the prin- cipal roads have been marked, all pre- cisely in the same way, by notching the trees along them; the marks being al ways on some roads leading to a steam boat landing, or to the Gulf: and in some instances continuing for sixty niles The uniformity of the marks (three par allel, horizontal scrapings, equidistant from each other, leads to the belief that they have by some instrument specially adapted for the purpose. The singular part of the affair is, that no one living on any of the roads, know anything of the marking; no settler has ever seen any one engaged in marking the trees j; and yet the amount of labor and time expended in it must have been very considerable indeed The inhabitants have their own surmises which 1t is need less here to give; but our informant re- quests us to call attention to the fact, to ascertain if similar marks have been noticed in other localities Montgomery (Ala.)

Beans 1 want for breakfast beans l want for dinner-and cold beans for supper. A few days since my pork barrel was empty.
