Too MANY IRONS IN TIE FtRti=Whehs
ever you see gal with whole lot of sweet
hearts, it's an even chance if she gets mar
ried to any on 'em. One co6ls off, and an
other cools off, and before she brings any on
'em to the right wedding heat, the coal is
gone and the fire is out Then she may
blow up dust, but deuce of fame can she
blow again. never see a clever looking
gal in danger that do not long to whisper
in her ear, "You dear little eritter, you,
take care; you have too many irons in the
fire; some on 'em will get stone cold, and
tother ones will get burnt SO, they will do
no good in nature"- Sam Slick.

MARRIAGES IN ENGLAND-The London
Athen@um has the following picture of En-
glish life:
In London and in every part of this heal
thy country, there are hundreds upon hun
dreds of persons of both sexes who abstain
from marriage because their means are mar
row, and from early life to extreme old age
exist as celbates on incomes slightly greater
or less than the 930O per annum which $50
ciety" deems insufficient for matrimonial
comfort and dignity. But the lives of such
persons cannot be said to support the the
ory. The educated celibate, with "com-
foftable income for bachelor" who occu-
pies chambers and frequents a Pail Mall
Club, is, as a rule, not less selfish and grasp
ing than the paterfamilias who, according to
the author ''be he lawyer, doctor, divine
or man of letters, must needs, in all his ways
and works, regard not the pure aim Of his
profession, but the pecuniary interests in
volved therein" Celibacy cannot be said
to have raised the Roman Catholic priest
hood above the moral level of our own cler-
gy; nor can it be allowed that the maiden
lady with "genteel suficieney" is in most
cases better Christian than the poor mother
who by anxiety for her own offspring is
taught to feel for every orphan child
The proceedings in the Divorce Court
! have shown that unquestionabe love match
es are by no means exempt from wretched-
ness, and that women of fortune (who are
under no necessity to marry for mainten-
ance) make unhappy marriages quite as Of
ten as "girls without penny" Nor does
experience encourage belief that women
are disinterested just in proportion as they
are placed above want. The heiress in a
West End "set' is usually quite as anxious
to seek advancement by matrimonial settle
ment as her penniless cousin, who has moth
ing but marriage to look forward to- If
poverty sometimes makes girl say II Il an
swer yes to the first offer l get, the posses

sons daughter, whose marriage portion is a
modest trosseau, with a G20 note in her
purse, is not whit more calculating than
any Miss Violet who has 100000 at her
command, and a score Of suitors from whom
to make selection.
Moreover, women whose circumstances Sc
cure them from the necessity of marrying to
better themselves are especial objects of de-
sire to men who, if not absolute fortune hun
ters, still desire not to marry without some
advantage more substantial than woman's
love. Thus, independence on the part of
the fai~ sex would scarcely have the result
antic. lated. If it diminished their present
inducements to seek for advantageous allan
ces, it would, on the other hand, increase
the chances that they would be sought out
by selfish worldlings, and lured into unions
where love would not be the motive of eli
ther of the contracting parties The sex
might be less SHINING, but it would be more
sinned against; and marriages brought
about by base desire for gain would at
least, be as frequent as they are at present.

INJURIES FROM FRIENDS. Those who
have their joys, have also their griefs in
proportion and none can extremely exalt
OF depress friends but friends. The harsh
things which come from the rest of the
world, are received and repulsed with that
spirit which every honest man bears about
him, for his own vndication; but unkindness
in words or actions among friends, affects us
the first instant in the inmost recesses of our
souls Indifferent people, if l may so say;
can wound us only in the heterogeneous
parts, main us in our legs Or arms, but the
friend can make no pass but at the heart it.
self. On the other side, the most impotent
assistance, the mere well-wishes of friend
give a man constancy and courage against
the most prevailing force of all bis enemies
1t is here only he enjoys and suffers to the
quick.

Is, the absolute worlhlessness to which

The latter says none Of the absolute

the old issue, The people have none o;
the new, or any way OF procuring il, the

Confederate money, either ia Louisiana

There are no oxen or transportation for

way boisterous. We were pleased to see

men who have been in the field for more

encouraging, and reflects great honor upon
the officers in command.

evening. We wish them happy time.
