AN ARRANGEMENT FOR CeuonrNo IN Cnurca.
"A correspondent of the Edinburgh Scots
man says; once spent Sunday at Lyons,
on my way to Italy. attended the French
Protestant Church. The form of worship
is very much like the Presbyterian, and the
minister, after preaching about fifteen min
utes, stopped rather abruptly, pronounced
word which took to be dllez, and sat down.
Immediately, the whole congregation, which
had hitherto been extremely quiet and atten-
tive, appeared to be seized with fits of
coughing, sneezing and expeetoration-som
blew their noses. sumo took snuff. By de-
gress, the noises ceased, and, after an inter-
val Of about fifteen minutes, the minister re-
sumed his discourse, and finished without in
terruption.

Unhappy Marriages.

The Ledger gives advice to " unhappy married people" class of beings who, we trust, form but small minority of the continuity. But the experience of our cotemporary would seem to have been ex- tensive. We quote for the benefit of whom it may concern:
 "It happens seldom that two human be- ings are so exquisitely adapted to one an- other, by nature and education, that they can acquire the art of living happily to- gether, without being compelled to make painful sacrifices of habit, taste and feel ing. After the glow and delusion of the honeymoon are past, each has to learn that the other has faults which were not per- ceived before; each has to discover that the other is falIible and limited human being-not an angel, not hero, not a saint. Each has acquired in their pre- vious course through life, 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 compro- mise unhappiness is certainto follow quick upon the tunultuous joy of the espousals. Generally, this spirit ofmutual concessions is not acquired immediately. The art of living together justly and joyously is one which is intrinsically difficult, and upon which the appointed teachers of men throw little light. If tenth part of the genius and the toll which have been wasted upon questions of metaphysics, had been ex- pended upon elucidating 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 unas- sisted 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 reasonable. One error, we find, is cherished by nearly all unhap- py married people namely, each thinks that the fault is all on the other side. The husband takes it for granted that all would be well with them if only his wje were a 1 little different from what she is, and the wife feels sure that perfect happiness would be the instantaneous result if only thal husband of hers were not quite so unrea- | sonable. In almost all cases, this opinion l. rse
 unless both are in fault. There can sell dom be permanent arrangement withou previous fault on both sides.

What is Life 1!

'Tis the quiyering dew-drop standing On the violets purple cheek Iris an ocean man is sounding,
 'Tis spell that death will break. 'Tis flower that fadeth ever,
 Let you cherish as you will |; 'Tis plant that fadeth ever
 In its language, good or i'll. 'Tis pitcher at the fountain
 That shall crumble every day; 'Tis the mist upon the mountain That Phebus drives away. Iris quickly moving hand
 In the mighty clock of time Iris grain of desert sand
 Swept by winds of every cline. 'Tis silver chord that bindeth The spirit and the clay; Iris serpent that enchanteth
 With it's pleasures, day by day. 'Tis narrow lane that endeth
 With the dismal gate of death, Where hideous porter standeth To hurry souls from earth.

GENERAL LAND OFFICE,

 LITTLE RocK, ARKANsAs--
 GENTLEMEN: The office of Surveyor Gen eral for the district of Arkansas, having been abolished, the duty of reporting to this office the selections remaining to be made by the State authorities, will be devolved upon you, so far as the lands are found to be within your district This being the case, it becomes ne- cessary to furnish you with system of in- structions which will govern you in your ac- tion.
 have therefore to state the following as the principles established with reference to this grant, to wit:
 1st. That as the grant contempates the in- undation of extensive regions of country, by such natural arteries as the Mississippi, the lands evidently intended to be granted are those which by reason of their swampy character. and their liability to overflow are worthless in their natural condition, and whereon crops cannot be raised without reclamation by leyees and drains. An overflow or inundation from casual cause, merely temporary in it's effects does not bring the lands within the law, and cannot be said in any proper sense to render them ssunft for cultivation "-the law con templates such long continued overflow, ol fffeshets only as iEeHld totally destroy crop: and prevent the raising of the same without artificial means by levees, etc., such as art found on the Mississippi river.
 1 2d. Bodies of land covered by shallow lakes or ponds, which may become dry by evapora tion or other natural cause, do not come with in the meaning of the act.
 Sd. Lands which have been disposed of by the general government prior to the date o their selection cannot be claimed as swamp, al they are excluded by direct operation of law .from the swamp grant.
 Testimony now, after the lapse of nine year to be available, must be explicit, resting upol personal and exact knowledge of the location claimed, and must relate to each quarte section or other equivalent legal subdiyi sion. This testimony must be made by partie having no interest present or prospective, di rect or indirect, and must state the name of tn river or water course, whereby the lands ar submerged and rendered useless for arabic pur poses in their natural condition.
