At what age should u girl marry ?

Now, we are not very old, nor are
we very wise, but we intend to answer
the above question as faithfully and as

Who is the best chance, and h0U soon

advise you in this respect upon what

ENCOURAGE YOUROWN MECHANICS

Whilst the Southern people are eve
rywherc resolving to cut off rs far rs
possible all commercial intercourse
with the North, and to establish South
crn independence in commerce and
manufactures, cannot the same scnti-
mcnt be carried u little farther, to the
great benefit Of each community? The
population, strength, wealth and pros
pcrity Off town is i'll no small degree
due to the industrial classes which fill
its workshops. We buya pair Of boots
Il suit Of clothes, or any other article of
manut:lcture in distant community;
the capital and labor which were en-
ploycd in getting up these articles re-
side in that community and contribute
to its wealth and prosperity. Why
cannot we build up and protect by our
patronage that investment Of capital
and labor in our own town? Our com.
munity, including the country ada
cent, annua ly cxpcnds, we imagine,
afty thousand dollars in ready made
clothing, and at least Il hundred thou

which goes to support other commu-

not, then, spend as far as possible these
two hundred and twenty five thousand
dollars in building up these departments
of industry in our town and country?

THE RAIN CONCERT.
Millions of tiny drops
Are falling all around;
They're dancing on the housctops,
They're hiding in the ground
They are fairy-lillc musicians
With anything for keys,
Beating tunes upon the windows,
Keeping time upon the trees.
A light and airy treble
Thcyplay upon the stream,
And the melody cnchants us
Like the music Of n dream,
A deeper bass is sounding
When they re dropping in the caves
With Il tenor from the zcphyrs,
And an alto from the waves,
Oh, It's n stream Of music,
And Robin "don't iutrndc,"
II, when the rain is weary,
Jlo drops an intcrIude.

Ofthc birds in all the bowers,
