ICON MUSICATED.


CoNJUGAL Love is said to be pure and
holy passion, when felt in its primeval state.
1t Ills the heart and mind with the tenderest
emotions--tends to purify the soul, eleyates
it to the highest moral dignity, and prepares
it for the bliss of Heaven, after life.
The great and mighty God, in his infinite
wisdom and goodness, created Man and
Woman for mutual help, and devoted ten
derness for each other--for reel procal aid
and assistance in the time Of need, with
undying love for their offspring, if any.
Hence, it is not good "to live alone. And
in loving eacl. other, it lightens our bur-
dens ana mollities our sorrows. The Lord
God gave Adam he lp mate, and his great
and marvellous example is certainly worthy
Of our humble imitation, as regards inter-
marriages. The accomplished and graphic
poet, in speaking Of the female character,
inter ALA, exclaimS-
80, Woman! in our hours of ease,
Uncertain, coy, and hard 10 please,
And variable the shade
BY the light, quivering, aspen made.
When pain and anguish wiring the brow,
A niniSering Angel thou
Brutus, brave and virtuous Roman, as
sured his wife that she was as dear to him
"as the ruddy drops that visited his sad
heart" And is there noT no modern living
Brutus? We hope and know there are
many in this land "of the free and the
brave" And after all, what is it that Man
seeks the companionship Of Woman, but for
that influence and mutual affection which
the bright and cheering light of her connte-
nance tends to soften, heal, and harmonize,
as regards the ills of life. Mutual love is
justice, and steady and constant love, is for
situde and true goodness, while the greatest
pleasure in lie is mutual and sincere atfec-
ton If these things be true, and no doubt
they are, who would live alone, to die "un-
wept, unhonored, and unsung" Answer,
We Uentemen Bachelors--contess your sins
Of omission, and seek forgiveness where 1t
can be found. EXPERIENCE.

MISCELLANEOUS READING.

AN INDIAN FUNERAL-A Fort Riley cor
respondent of the Pittsturg Dispatch gives
description of an Indian funeral
There was q procession of wagons, drawn
mostly by small Indian horses, called pom
les. The first wagon contained q rough cof-
fin and six old squaws, three on each side Of
the coffin, all kneeling with heads bowed in
mournful silence; the horses, also, walked
slowly along, with their heads near the
ground, as if conscious thattheir last sad du-
ties were being performed for another of the
native sons of the soil. The second, third and
fourth wagons contained children, (the
youngest in 'front.' all silent, some with
downcast eyes, and others gazing at the
scene in wonder. Then followed quite
number of the Indians on their ponies, all
in single file, no two riding abreast. In the
rear were several old Indians, on foot, totter-
ing along as if they, too, had nearly blossom
ed for the grave. They came TO the en-
trance of the grave yard the coffin was car
ried to the grave, a ring was formed around
it, all kneeling, and as it descended. low
moaning chant was commenced which seem
ed to swell untilit became sweet but mourn
full to the ear. then it died away in the same
low sounds with which it began; all arose, and
one by one left, few of the near relatives
of the deceased remaining to ponder over
his untimely death.
