An Unexpected Marriage.

Old Governor Salsonstall, Of Connec.
ticut, who hourished about half CEN
tury ago, was man Of some humor AZ
well as perseverance, in affecting the
ends desired. Among other anecdotes
told Of him by the New London people,
the place where he resided Is the follow
ing
OF the Various eects that have -four
ished for day, and then ceased to exist,
was one known as the Rogerites, so call
ed from their founder, Tom or jim, or
some other Rogers. The distinguishing
tenent of the sect was the denial of the
propriety Of the form of the marriage
tie. They believed it was not good for
man to be alone, and also that one wife
only should cleave to her husband, but
then this should be a matter Of agreement
merely, and the couple should come to-
gether and live as husband and wife, dis.
pensing with all forms of marriage cove
nsnt.
! The old Governor often used to visit
Rogers, and talk the ssaiect over with
him, and seek to convince him Of the
impropriety of living with Sarah as he
| did. But neither John nor Sarah would
give up the argument. 1t was matter
of conscience with them; they were very
happy as they were--of what use could q
mere form be--suppose they did thereby
invite scandal--were they not bound tc
take up the cross, and live according t.
the rules they professed? The Governor

Last words OF General Lyle.

This glorious gentleman and soldier,
"the mirror of chivalry," and the very
idol of his friends, who fell at the head
of his brigade at Chickamauga, as he
often fell before in the battle front. but
this time, alasl never again to walk the
earth in all the pride of his generous
manhood, said, few weeks before his
death, in the presence Of his troops:
"And then for you, soldiers-soldiers
but ireemen and armed citizens of tn,
Repubhc-it will be- for you to remembe
the Roman saying. Hel i'@ee. ret oe(Io
| c1aruns, teri licel, or, as old Milton has
paraphrased it. Peace has her victories
no less renowned than those of war;"
Gen. Lytle further said
at will be for You to sec that the pow
ers of the government are restricted to
their lawful and their appropriate chan
nels, that each State has it's full and per-
feet rights under the Constitution"
There is the utterance of true man
who has given up his rich life for the i'm
periled cause. Place it side by side with
the outgivings of John Brough, "the
States shall not hold slavery. No Union
with slavery"
Place it side by side with the outgiv-
ings Of Forney. We must have a gov
eminent with republican forms and mon
drchial powers"
Place it side by side with the declars-
tions of Thaddeus Stevens, The old Un-
ion ? God forbid

who SIlOtlIG PRAY,

First Of all let A braham Lincoln play
pray that his marble heart may be
softened-that the bitter curse inflicted
by wicked rulers may be remcved-that
"the voice of Rachel and her children
crying" may no longer disturb the star
tied air; that bloody war may cease, and
that the angel of peace may once more
spread its white wings over a sorrowing
land bending beneath the heavy blow of
national Affections ! Let those around
and near him pray; pray that their coun-
sells may be free from partisan venom
and malignant spite; that their actions
may be governed by an honest zeal for
the welfare of their PROSTATE country !;
that all fraud and corruptions may be
banished from their midst, and that they
may be spared the fearful crime of hav-
ing aided and abetted in their country's
ruin! Let all the people pray; pray that
their priceless liberties may be preserved
that illegal arrests, unlawful banish-
ments, and violations of personal rights
may no longer prevsil-thst integrity
may dwell in the heart of their servants,
and public virtue once again assert its
sway in the high places OF the Govern
ment--that the crimes which have de-
graded bad men in power may give place
to official purity and rectitude--that
wrongs may be righted, outrages redress
ed, error rebuked and that justice may
again be recalled TO land from whose
borders she ded affrighted and dismayed
when the dark shadow of coming des
poti,m fell upon her pathway.

Editing PaDcr,

Editing paper now is very pleasant
business. If it contains too much polit-
ical matter, people won't have it.
If it contains too little, people won't
have it.
If the type is large, it don't contain
enough reading matter.
If the type is small people can't read
it,
If we publish telegraph reports, folks
say they are nothing but lies.
If we omit them, they say we have no
enterprise or suppress them for political
effect.
If we have in a few jokes. folks say
we are nothing but rattle head.
If we omit jokes, folks say we are
an old fossil
If we publish original matter, they
damn us Tor not giving selections.
If we publish selections, folks say we
are lazy for not writing more and giving
what they have not read in some other
pers.
If we give man a complimentary no,
tice, we are centured for being partial.
If we do not all hands say we arc
greedy hogs.
II we insert an article which pleases
the ladies, men become jealous.
If we do not cater to their wishes
the paper is not fit to have in the house
If we attend church, they say it is on
ly for effect.
If we do not, they denouncee as de
ceitful and desperate wicked.
If we speak well of any act of tn
President, folks say we darne not do 9th
erwise.
If we centure him, they call us trait
or.
five remain in the office and atten
to our business, folks say we are to-
proud to mingle with other fellows.
If we go out, they say we never attenc
to our business.
If we do not pay all bills promptly
folks say we are not to be trusted.
If we do pay promptly, they say w
steal the money.
If we wear poor clothe, they say bust
ness is poor.
If we wear good ones. they say we ar
a spendthriit.

What shadows We are nud
what Shadows We pursue."


The lives Of most men, might we'll be
ompared to q beautiful dream, that
while it lasted, was full OF pleasing do
nouments and happy scenes, grateful
memories and cheerful thoughts, as vis-
ion after vision noated before the eye lids
that were bathed in slumb bers that were
soft as they were sweet---thus leading q
willing captive by soothing influence,
and painting upon the minds horoscope,
far brighter objects than any we know
exist upon earth. Time and space then
no longer hold their strong sway over
the enraptured senses but angel faces
are bending alike o'er the couch of the
peasant and the king voices from the
spirit land are whispering in the ear that
iain would forever drink in the magic
sounds.
The dream is ended, and conscious
ness resumes her throne; disclosing the
mere shadow Of what seemed real and
tangible--the type of loveliness without
disguise; while among all the treasures
gathered in our march from the cradle
to the grave, till old age comes on, ana
we are led to the brink Of the echoless
shore" we cannot dwell upon one that
did not possess at sometime or other an
indescribable charm; that did not seem
worth a struggle to possess, and yet
when we held it in our grasp, was view
ell as a mere bauble because it could not
always endure.
The pages of history are full Of touch
ing and startling episodes from Ambi-
tons Dream. The lustre of many an
uncoudel intellect has grown dim as it
tarried at the tempting fount, chasing
hopes and nursing aspirations that can
never satisfy while the grosser material
lives in unison with an immortal soul
Lofty purposes and good resolves! how
many have been engul phed by the same
wave.-how many have been stranded
on the same rock bound coast 1t might
have been that the heart was brave and
the arm was strong that guided the helm;
but the bark went down in sight of port
to mIngle with the shadows it pursued.
Since the creation of the Universe,
man has not ceased to cling with blind
tenacity to the delusion that surround !;
and as his last pulse throbbed upon a far
off shore, where there was no human eye
to pity, no human hand to caress, he
saw how utterly aimless his life had fedl
What shadows we are indeed-but how
much greater the shadows that are daily
pursued, knowing at best how brief a
lease is given upon the highest endesr-
ments Of home and panions
and friends! How quickly do we vanish
from each others gaze, following in truth
a shadow, until we have crossed the
boundary of the shallow landi
