AWord to Married Men.

We hare often published advice to young
men, but the following to married men, ta-
ken from an exchange, hits some in this sec
ton admirably. We mean those who spend
their evenings down town, playing billiards,
smoking, drinking and gossiping, when they
ought to be at home with their families
DO you remember what fine promises you
once made to the women who now sits.
night after night, with heavy heart and
busy fingers making or mcnding garments
for the little ones tyour children) while you
are dissipating with other Mlefs like your
self the very means for which they stand in
need, You complain Of hard times, search
ty Of work, and want Of money and
your wi ife works herself sick to econonize
and reduce the household expenditures.
Why, you miserable grumbler I've we;e
about to say loafer) you spend money
enough foolishly every month of your life to
clothe and educate your children, and leave
a little SUN to lay away against arainy day.
Wife wants new dress. Cant afford It'll"
no, but you can afford to spend fifty cents or
dollar every day for lager, segars, billiards
or something worse And therlwhat abom-
Unable lies you will tell your wife; and she,
innocent soul, believes every word as gospel
truth. When she asked you, in that kindly
manner: Husband, must you go down
town to night? get tired and lonely with
out you how you positively aver that
important business" calls you away--and
then, as if feeling the enormity of the ,fb,
you promise to return earl "a promise which
you always break, of course Are you
aware that You are laying the foundation of
miserable, poverty stricken old age? IF
not, allow us to remind you of it, and we do
50 earnestly but in spirit of Kindness. -
Youare planting seeds of sorrow in the
heart Of her you have sworn to cherish and
love that will bear early the pale blossoms
of death. Don't do so any more Spend
your evenings at home. Ppvide yourself
with books and papers, and while your wife
is engaged with her domestic duties, read
aloud for her instruction, and amusement.
Our word for it, you will see the fresh
tints Of youth return to shat faded face

There is an immense amount of emigration
this season, and there must Of course, be Il

The people are actually starving to death

in that region. One man who owned ten
thousand cattle has lost all but sixty by
starvation. They are making Il great effort
in San Francisco to aid the sufferers. They
have lad several public meetings, and APP
pointed committees to canvass the city. The
wealthy business men went around with
drays to houses begging clothing and pro-
visions to send to the destitute. They sent
away about seven tuas. They sent com
mittee to learn the amount of suffering, and
see that the articles were properly distribu-
ted. Ill.,. ..,.. A..

He lives eighteen miles away up on the Sac

POIiticaI Clersymell.

The following is an extract from speech
delivered by Z. q. Greene, senior editor OF
the Boston Post, short time since, before
the Mcclellan Club of Ward Eleven, in
Boston,
"CoI. Greene said he wished to address
the Club but for few minutes, upon sin,
gle topic, and proceeded to remark that one
of the most unfortunate features OF the pre-
sent condition Of political parties is the
course adopted by many clergymen, those
who abandoned their high calling as mis-
sionaries Of love, peace, forgiveness, to ad-
vocate slaughter and gloat over the madness
Of human passion in its destruction OF hui
man passion in its destruction Of human life;
who encourage and aggravate cruelty and
transgression to degree appalling to the
dullest sensibility. 10 behold such false
guides enter to holy sanctuary as the disoi-
pies Of the blessed Saviour, who gave his
life to promote good will among men, and
there invoke devastation and death upon the
children of that Heavenly Parent who Great
ed and cares for all, is to witness an insult
offered to benign Deity under the guise OF
Monaghan outrage upon common decency
and propriety, meriting the rebuke Of all
who regard the Holy Scriptures as the laws
of God. Such conduct seems offensive both
to Heaven and earth; it can afford satisiac-
ton only to those dark spirits who rejoice in
mans misery and abasement. The daring
sacrilege, too, Of such expounders of the
gospel of revenge must be revolving to any
mind imbuded with reverence tor pure
Christianity, while their audacious protani-
ty challenges the anger Of the Great Mas
ter, whose name unworthy servants take in
vain and whose attributes they strive to sink
to the level of their own wicked deeds. -
Ordinary parochial duties are often disre-
garded, words Of instruction and consolation
withheld -attiction left without spiritual
comfort, the dying without prayers, and |
should not be surprised if even the ceremo-
MES of the grave were abbreviated that the
officiating clergyman might answer an en-
gagement to halangue political caucus y
And such sacerdotal orators stand up in
vheir surplces and assume to pronounce the
will of God as within their own knowledge,
thus detaming the Great Creator and Gov
einor of the Universe by representing Him
as having pleasure in the wrath Of man--in
the deadly strife of father against son,
brother against brother, and in the violation
of the very precepts He has given to ensure
salvation. Such is the Office of political
priestcrattl Should it not stand condemn
ed before men and angels? .'aa

BENEVOLENCE.


A benevolent man was Absalom Bess;
AT each and every tale Of distress
He blazed right up like rocket; q r.t
He felt for all beneath poverty's smart,
Who were fated TO bear LIES roughest
ze5e part c ." .a ....
He felt for them in his inmost heart,
4-l But he never felt in his pocket.
He didn't know rightly what was meant
By the Bibles promised four hundred per
-as cent, .4 .
For sharity's each donation;
And as he acted as ii he thought railroad
stocks .
And bonds secure beneath earthly locks,
Were better with pockets brimIuu OF rocks,
Than heavenly speculation.
Yet all said he was an excellent man,
For the poor he'd preach tor the poor he'd
- plan
To better them he was willing;
But the oldest man who heard him pray,
Aud preach for the poor in pititul way,
Gould hardly remember him rightly to say
Mr.. Bess had e'er given q shilling.
oh an excellent man was Absalom Bess,
And the world threw up its hands to bless
A man so well mentioned
But he died one day, he died and oh, -r
He went where the par value was low
OF such souls, and you don't want to go
a place that shan't be mentioned. ...

TERMS---$2 PER ANNUM
over Dressing.

In the present time, when economy in dress
is a dictate both Of prudence and patriotism
the following sensible remarks from the n
Y Ledger, on its being also the sign of taste
will be read with satisfaction -..
The idea that cost is the measure of at
tractivcness in dress is very vulgar error.
Simplicity of design, and a due regard to
the eongruities Of color, are essential to ele-
gance in the matter of costume. One might
Infer from the strong contrast of gorgeous
hue which some ladies affect in their prone
made attire, that they had learned the art
Of personal decoration in herald S college,
and held it to be one aud the same thing
with the art Of of emblazing. The tenden-
cy to the horid was never more conspicuous
In dress of both sexes than it is now. All
the priSmatic tin!s-not melting into Ear-
mony, as the rainbow, but opposed to each
other in distinct dabs, if we may be use the
expression-not unfrequently flare in the
street toilet Of modern belle.
Our bucks too, not to be tehind hand in
magnihcC nee, tinc;ure their thrOats with
g owing cravats crimson and red being the
favolite colors. All this sort of thing is an
outrage on good taste A pale young gen
eman in blood tinted neckcloth presents
asuicidal appearance wi ich is quite shock
ing and dumpy, high complectioned dame
a. rayed in purp and six, with shawl and
bonnet of many radiant dyes, is II burlesque
on the laws of adoption which makes the
judiciou5 grieve. Assimilation, not contrast
is the secret Of true elegance in dress. The
several parts Of the costume should be in
tasteful harmony with each other, and the
whole should be adapted to the styles of
figure, the complexion and the feature Of
wearer. r..rF y.
Shade unperceived still softening into shade.
And all so forming an harmonious whole
