The DecIaration of Independen.

1t won't hurt any of our Abolition support
ers of the present reigning dynasty to read this
article, which we give on the 4th page of this
issue Under the. modern definition of tie
term it is certainly a very disloyal production,
but these old forerunners of after days of
peace and prosperity may bring back memo
ries of some pleasant times in the past eighty
years before Abolitionism plunged the nation
into civil war, deluged the country with blood
and stole from us oar liberties.

quite a celebration in Ashland over the news
of the defeat Of Lee and the taking of Vicks-
burg. Fire balls were thrown and crackers
exploded and speeches made. We heardsonly
Captain Bushnelrs. The Captain was not in
good trim for making a speech. He "run
emptgings'' principally. Among other foolish
things he said was, that those who opposed
this war would repent someday in sackcloth
and ashes. We think not, Captain. The
.menethat repent in sackcloth and ashes are
those upon whose souls rest the blood of hun
dreJs of thousands of their fellow citizens,
NOT we who tried to prevent all this death and
disaster.

first regiment to pitch their tents on
that beautiful plot of ground now
known as Camp Benton, Missouri.

putting the boys through the various

the rural parts of Missouri stepped
up to the Major, and, in the blandest

Infsuence OfMarriage.

Habit and long life together are
more necessary to happiness, aud even
to love, than is generally imagined.
No one is happy with the object of
his attachment, until he has passed
days, and, above all, many days OF
misfortune with her. The married
pair must know each other to the
centre of their souls-the mysterious
veil which covered the two spouses
in the primitive church, must be
raised in its inmoss folds, how closely
soeyer it may, be kept drawn to the
rest of the world. What on account
of fit of caprice, or burst of passion,
am l to be exposed to the fear of
losing my wife and my children, and
to renounce the hope Of passing my
declining days with them? Let no
one imagine that fear will make ME
become better husband. No; we
do not attach ourselves to possession
which we are in danger of losing
the soul of Il man, as well as his body,
is incomplete without his wife he
has strength, she has beauty; he
eombats the enemy and labors in the
field, but he understands nothing of
domestic life; his companion is wait
ing to prepare his repast and sweeten
his existence. He has crosses, and
the partner Of his life is there to soft
en- them; his days may be sad and
troubled, but in the chaste arms of
his wife he finds comfort and repose.
Without woman, man would be rude,
gross, solitary. Woman spreads
around him the flowers of existence
as the creeperS of the forests, which
decorate the trunks of sturdy oaks
with their perfumed garlauds. Final,
ly, the Christian pair live and die
united together they reap the fruits
of their union in the dust they lie
side by side ; and they are united be-
yOnd the tomb.

ENGLISH HINEBRIETY.

In the year ending at Michaelmas
last, 94,9OS persons-260 day
were proceeded against before JUS
tices in England for drunkenness, or
for being drunk or disorderly, and
63,255 of them were convicted. The
great majority were only fined, but
above 1000 were committed to pris-
on. The returns show a great in
crease over the previous year, for
only 50, 1876 were then charged with
drunkenness, and only 54,l23 con-
victed. Of the persons thus charged
in the last year p, ,560were females,
and more than 10000 women were
convicted for being drunk. Coro-
n9r's inquests in the year 1862 found
21l verdicts cf deaths of l45 men
and &C women from excessive drink

Candor is very much praised as a
virtue; but let go one attempt to
practice it without discrimination.
Everybody has heard the story of
the woman who, having married un-
happily, went to an old maid who
had been the intimate friend of her
girlhood, and poured out her sorrow
without reserve. IL am sorry for
YOU said the sympathetic spinster;

"Thank youp' retorted the wife !;
".but would have you to know that
my husband is better than none at
all!'
