WEDLocK IN THE WEsr.-Y Youths in the
West are thus exhorted to marry by one Of
the Western journals: "a good wife is the
best, most faithful companion you can posi-
bly, have by your side while performing the
journey of life. A dog isn't touch to her.
She can smooth your linen and your cares
for you; mend your trowsers aud change
your manners; sweeten sour moments, as
well as your tea and coffee; rufie, perhaps,
your shirt bosom, but not your temper; and
instead Of sowing the seeds Of sorrow in your
path, she will sew buttons on your shirt, and
plant happiness instead Of harrow-teeth in
your bosom. Yes! and if you are too con
foundedly lazy, or too proud, to do such
work yourself. she will carry swill to the
hogs, chop wood, and dig potatoes for din
ner. Her love for her husband is such that
she will do anything to please him, except
receive company in her everyday clothes
Get married, repeat, you must Concen
trate your affections upon one object and
don't distribute them, crumb by crumb,
amongst host Of Susans, Marias, Elias,
Betsys, Peggies, Dorothies, allowing each
scarcely enough to nibble at. Get married,
| repeat, you must. Get married, and have
some one to cheer you up as you journey
through this vale Of tears-somebody to
scour up your dull, melancholy moments, and
keep your whole life, and whatever linen you
possess in some sort Of Sunday-go-to-meet-
Ing order"

GREAT GYMNAsTIc FEAT-Sevcral weeks
ago we published letter from an old pu-
pill Of Frank Wheeler's (nowin New York.
in relation to the celebrated Dr.. Windship,
of Roxbury, Mass, who claimed to be the
strongest man in the word being able to
shoulder q barrel of flour, and to put up,
with one hand, dumb bell weighing one
hundred and fifty pounds. On reading
this, Wheeler determined to make the at
tempt himself, and especially as the said
Doctor, in his public lectures on gymnas-
tics, had boldly asserted that no other man
in America could do the same feats of
strength, and up to the latest dates, no one
had been able to come up to him at least
certainly as regards the dumb bell Wheeler
has been practicing ever since, at intervals,
in his gymnasium, and, fOr'the last week,
has several times each day put up dumb
bell (cast especially for him in this city,
weighing one hundred and fifty two pounds
and has also repeatedly shOudercd barrel
of flour. We were present yesterday AZ
the gymnasium when these feats were done,
and can Vouch for these facis-haying seen
the dumb bell weighed, and having seen
Wheeler put it up twice iD succession with
his right hand, aud hold it out at arms
length over his head for some time. The
largest weight ever put up at Oltigon's
gymnasium in New York is one hundred
and thirty pounds, and but two men in
New York are known who can do it,
Wheeler thinks that he will be able to
handle this mammouth dumb bell with the
most perfect ease in a few months, as he is
gradually increasing in muscular strength
with the new task he has allotted to himself.
We also saw him hold out two ifty,six
weights at arms lengIh-One in each hand

A LIFE SKErcH The feuilletonist Of the
Courier des Etats Unis, in his Chronique
de New York, says, Last Tuesday there
was fete at one Of the houses in New
York most celebrated for the perfect elet
gance and distinguished taste which pre-
tsde at its balls In on interval Of the
dance, my attention was attracted. b9 q
young star Of the season, who was Just max.
ing her eHtra. The groups Of takers open,
ed to allow her 10 pass, but there was .
delay Of q moment before she could reach
the mistress Of the house. Al that mct
ment chance brought her in contract with
