When I Mean to Marry.


When do / mean to marry? Well
'Tis idle to dispute with fate:
But if you choose to hear me tell,
Pray, listen, while l fix the date.
When daughters haste, with eager feet
A mothers daily toll to share,
Can make the puddings which they eat,
And mend the stockings which they wear;
When maidens look upon m&a
As in himself that they would marry,
And not as army soldiers scan
A sutler or a commissaryi
When gentle ladies who have got
The offer of a lovers hand,
Consent to share his earthly lot, )"
And do not mean his lot of land;
When young mechanics are allowed
To find and wed the farmers girls,
Who don't expect to be endowed
With rubies, diamonds and pearls
When wives, in short, shall freely give
Their hearts and hands to aid their spouses
And live as they were wont to live
Within their sire's one-story houses;
Then, madam-if l am not too old
Rejoiced to quit this lonely life,
III brush my beaver, cease to scold,-..
And look about me for wife

Iufiurnce OF Sensible Women.

1t Is WOndrOus advantage to a man III every
pursuit or avOcatlOn, to secure an adviser in a
sensible woman. In woman there is at once a
subtle dclicacy Of tact and plain soundncss of
Judgment, which are rarely combined to an
equal degree in man. A woman, if she be
really your friend, will have sensible regard
for your character, honor, repute. She will
seldom counsel you to do shabby thing, for a
womanIrend always desires to be proud of
you. At the same time her constitutional
timidity makes her more cautious than your
male friend. She, therefore, seldom cOunscls
you to do an lmprudent thing. by female
friendships, we mean those in which there Is
no admxture of the passion Of love, except in
the married state. A man best female friend
is wife of good sense and good heart, whom
he loves and who loves him. If he have that,
he need not seek elsewhere. But supp0>lng
the man to be without such helpmatc; fc-
male friendship he must still have, or his in
tcllect will be without Il garden, and there will
be many an unhccdcd gap even in the strong
est fence. Better and safer, of course, such
friendships where diSparities of years or cir
cumStanreS put the idea OF love out OF the ques
tion. Middle lie has rarely this advantage
youth and old age have We may have female
friendship. with those much older and tho>t
much Younger than ourselves. Molier's OLD

READING AT NIGHT-The American Month";
IN for April has an excellent article emitted
p" Reading as a Means ofCulturc. We make
the following extract. the truth ofwhich should
be remembered and regarded by al who are
inclined to read late at night or in bed.
Reading should be Avoided when it inter
fereS with necessary repose, as it does when
pursued at a late hour at night. 1t then has
perniciOus influence upon the health trSt, then
upon the spirits, then upon the mlnd itself. =
The knowledge gained in this way Is Tor the
most part of but little value, for it Is gained at
the expcn,e of mental vigor and sometimes
even OF life itself. The celebrated William
Pinkney, the great Maryland orator, fell Il sacri-
fce to late reading. TO read when you ought
to be in bed, especially to read when in bed,
is to iniict a great evil upon yourself without
an equivalent. 1t is to iJotre your eyes, yo"F
brain, y0Hr ncrrouS system, Y"HF "'teucct

tance, their past history connected with this
country would most certainly entitle them to
that boon of which no man should be deprived.
Read our past history and you find the negroes
ever ready to lend a helping hand in time OF
emergency, whenever the white man thought
it prOdent to demand their assistance. You
find them in every war; frOuNthe Revolutions
ary war to the late rebellion fighting by the
side Of the white soldiers, endeavoring to show
themselves worthy of their freedom. Who
can be SO fendish as to rivct their tctters after
they have been partially broken, and after the
slaves have proved themselves so worthy OF
much respect? Undoubtedly there are some
who are making it their chief aim to keep the
negro in bondage but their hopes are vain.
The question is with me, will their freedoms
repay them for what they have done? Some
would Immediately reply in the negative; but
say it is sufficient for the present. think
We should not act to hastily in elcvating them
to so responsible a position before they acquire
the rudlments of national affairs. The state
in which they have been kept has so filled their
minds with ignorance that they are not cOmpe-
tent to Judge right from wrong, and to apprc-
ciate the advantages derived by being admit
J ted to the ballOt-bOx. Aside from these cir
cumstanccS, there are enough true Amcl"an>,
in my humble opinion, to guide the old Ship
of State, and to conduct her safely through all
the tempestuous storms which may be brought
against her by such vile party as has been in
existence for the last four years, without per-
mitting the negroes to vote. But rather than
have such party in power, think it would
be policy dear To our country to allow them
a suffrage. From present appearances Of this
party it looks very probable that they can not
recover from their stunning shock received by
their own misconduct. | say, invest the ne
groes with their full freedom and certain privi
legcs necessary to their comfort and happiness
fig-rrce. according to the dictates of their owl
conscience To permit them to mingle in na
tional affairs at present would not only be in
imical to the Government, but would have, il
my opinion, tendency to bring trouble upo
