ofmaking an impression, but also of many
of their former pleasures. They are not
invited half so often to theatres, concerts
or opera, or even to take chocolate, or
cream, probably because prices at fash
ionable restaurants have doubled. and
young men find it as much as they can de
to keep themselves in cigars and other
luxuries.
The idea of love, of that sort of ro
nance which leads men to commit the
felly of taking wife and trusting to Pro-
vidence fer the means to supply her with
bread and butter, is all gene-it never
could flourish very well in purely NOR
camille community, and it seems to have
been lest entirely in the recent financial
changes and revolutions.
The majority of eur young men act as
tif they had been brought mp under the
tutelage of old jonas Chuzzlewit, and dc
great credit to his training. They are as
cool and calculating as an cid stock oper-
ator, pride themselves on being up to all

MATREMONY.
BY JENNEY JUNE.

Do you ever read the list of marriages,
births and deaths in your morning paper?
Being a man, and old bachelor at that,
don't suppose you do, but, being
woman, always do, and feel, therefore,
competent to assure you that marriages
have fallen eff at least three -fsurths since
this cruel war broke out, ana especially
since the principal articles in the house
keeping line took such a jump upwards.
One, two or three is the most which
now appears in a list that formerly coun-
ted dozens, and these have a poor; soli-
tary, poverty stricken lsek, in the "no
cards" SO frequently appended to them.
1t is sad to take a passing lesk at the
nice house furnishing establishments with
which New York abounds, full Of kitchen
curiosities, and more interesting to young
housekeepers, present and prospective,
than any Museum, and think of them as
hardly ever called upon for one of these
complete outfits which have delighted so
many young wives in days gene by, and
only kept alive by the exertions of SER
want girls, whose efforts to sustain them
by breaking every household article er
untensil they lay their hands upon, de-
serves, this public acknowledgment.
It is mere sad still, however, to think
of the young women who are gradually
wearing cut their roses and their amiabili-
ty under the influence of these depres-
sing circumstances. Weeks lengthen to
months, months into years, and at the
turning of every new corner the prospect
becomes mere alarming. A line here, a
wrinkle there, disinclination to very
strong lights, fear of very late hours
and 10! ! some fine msrning crew s-foot
and not married yet Is not that enough
to sour the sweetest temper

New England Abolition Song
AS SUNG BY THE WIZARD OLD MAN.

All f! the good time has come at last
New England rules the Nation,
And now we've got you "hoosier's' fas
In spite of all creation.
For thirty years we've labored hard
For tariff and protection,
And now we dare you to retard
BY setting up objection.
Protection is the very thing
To crafty our wishes
It brings us riches like king,
And gold and silver dishes.
It makes us love you Western folks,
With very kind regard
For now we sell you calico i
AT fifty cents yard.
Once you had gold and silver too,
Flying around like rockets;
But soon we made you send it through
To jingle in our pockets.
While we've got plenty of the schink,"
1t surely looks quite funny,
To see you western "Hoosier" folks
Use pasteboard up for money,
For Union; Constitution, Law,
Did we not loud insist?
Until we got you "Hoosier" boys
/ Most bravely to enlist?
And now we've got you in the ranks,
We cannot help but snigger,
TO think that we can make yeu fight
To help US free the niger.
Now we've got all the Offices,
And all the contracts, too
This makes glorious times for us,
Though rather hard for you.
For we've got Yankees just enough,
Scattered through the West, a
To fill the Federal Offices, b
And feather up their nests.
in two years more we'll make enough
To satisfy our pride,
And then we'll grease with wizard oil
And from the Union slide.

The PRESENT CONDITION OF IRELAND
Mr.. Mcguire, in the British Parliament
thus speaks of Ireland
He solemnly and sincerely declared
that there was in Ireland discomfort and
disaffection which nothing under heaven
but just laws could change. The Lord
Lieutenant, few days ago, expressed his
deep regret that the people were leaving
the country in such numbers, and carried
with them feeling of hostility to the
British Government. Let them look the
case straight in the face, and not shrink
from consideration of the question:
The feeling carried to America by Irish
men would have an influence upon the
policy of American Statesmen. The
Irish emigrants and their children born
IN the States outnumbered the popula-
tion Of Ireland. They were active and
energetic, and many of them command
the press and the platform They were
animated by hatred of England; and he
asked them into what calamities might
they not preoipitate the two countries.
[ Hear, hear. He hoped that the Gov
ernment, instead of troubling themselves
about complications in different parts of
Europe, would endeavor to heal the sore
that existed in the heart of the Empire.
Royal visits would not meet the wants of
Ireland. They would only be as court
plaster on deep-seated ulcer. The Irish
people would be glad to see Her Majesty,
or any member of her family but the
starving people who saw the utter hope,
lessness of any effort for which there was
no reward, did not want the sunshine Of
royalty or glitter of pageantry. What
they wanted was just laws, that would
liberate their arms, and give them field
for their exertions. Hear, hear.

RESPECT THE AaED.-Many an old
person has the pain-not bodily, but
sharper still-of feeling himself in the
way. Some one wants his place. His
very chair in the chimney corner is
grudged him. He is burden to son and
daughter. The very arm chair which
props him is taken away from some pro-
ductive labor. AS he sits at the table,
his own guests are too idle or too unkind
to make him share in their mirth. They
grudge the trouble of that raised voice,
which alone could make him one of them;
and when he speaks it is only to be put
aside as ignorant or despised, as old-fash-
iened and obsolete. Oh, little do young
persons know their power of giving pain
or pleasure 1t is a pain for any, still
in this world, to be made to feel that he
is no longer of it, to be driven in upon
his own little world Of conscious isolation
and buried enjoyment. But this is his
condition. and if any fretfulness or quer-
ulousness of temper has aggravated it
if others love him not because he is no
amiable-shall we pity that condition
the less n shall we upbraid it with tina
fault which is itself the worst part Of it
