Marriage,

Marriage is school and exercise of
virtue, and though marriage has cares,
yet the single life has desires, which are
more troublesome and more dangerous,
and often end in sin, while the cares are
but instances of duty and exercises of
piety and therefore if single life has
more privacy of devotion, yet marriage
has more necessities and more varieties
of it; is an exercise of more graces.-
Marriage is the proper scene Of piety and
patience, of the duty of parents and the
charity of relations here kindness is
united and made firm as a centre.
Marriage is the nursery of Heaven
The virgin sends prayers to God, but she
carries but one soul to him but the state
of marriage fills up the number Of the
elect, and has in it the labor of love and
the delicacies of friendship, the blessings
of society, and the union Of hands and
hearts. 1t has in it less of beauty but
more of safety than the single life lit has
more care but less danger; it is more
merry and more sad it is fuller of sor-
rows and fuller of joys; it lies under more
burdens, but it is supported by all the
strength of love charity, and those bur-
dens are delightful. Marriage is the
mother Of the world, and preserves king
doms, and fills cities, and churches, and
Heaven itself Celibacy, like the fly in
the heart of the apple, dwells in perpe-
tual sweetness, but sits alone, and is con-
fined and dies in singularity; but mar
riage, like the useful bee, builds house
and gathers sweetness from every flower,
and labors and unites into societies and
republics, and sends cut armies, and feeds
the world with delicacies, and obeys their
king and keeps order, and exercises many
virtues, and promotes the interest of man.
kind, and is that state of good things to
which God has designed the present con-
stitution of the world.

Five Years on Post.

i During one of Napoleon's remarkable
campaigns, detachment of corps com
manded by Davoust occupied the Isle
Rugen, which they were ordered to evac,
uate. They embarked with such precip-
itation that they forgot one of their SEN
tlnels posted in retired spot, and who
was SO deeply absorbed in the persusal of
newspaper containing an account of one
of the Emperor's splendid victories, as to
be totally unconscious of their departure.
After pacing to and fro for many hours
on his post, he lost patience, and re-
turned to the guard-room, which he found
empty. On inquiry, he learned with des-
pair what had happened, and cried:
"Alas alas shall be looked upon
as deserter-dishonored, lost, unhappy
wretch that [ ami"
His lamentation excited the compassion
sion of worthy tradesman, who took him
to his house, did all in his power to con-
sole him, taught him to make bread, for
he was baker, and, after some months,
gave him his only daughter, Justine, in
marriage.
Five years afterwards, a strange sail
was seen approach the Island. The in
habitants focked to the beech. and soon
discovered in the advancing ship num-
Der of soldiers wearing the uniform of the
French army.
81 am done for now," cried the dis
mayed husband of Justine. "My bread
is baked"
An idea, however, suddenly y occurred
to him, and revived his courage He ran
to the house, slipped into his uniform,
and, seizing his faithful freloek, returned
to the beach, and posted himself on SEN
try at the moment the French were land
ing.
"Who goes there ?'' he shouted in a
voice like thunder
"Who goes there, yourself ?" replied
one in boat. "Who are you?"
GA sentinel"
"How long have you been on guard ?"
olive years"
Davoust, for it was he, laughed at the
quaint reply and gave discharge in due
form. to his involuntary deserter.

Worthy of Imitation,

There are laws in Maine, which ]
think all the other States would do well
to adopt. The first is one enacted at the
suggestion of Gov. Hubbard in 1851
He was, and still is, an extensive medi-
cal practitioner in the State, and in course
of his journeying far and near, driving
his own beast, he realized the need of
frequent and convenient wartering places
on the highways. By his recommends
tion the Legislature passed Jaw propos-
ing that any person, to the acceptance of
the selectmen. who should set up a good
tub or trough by the roadside, into which
pure water should be constantly dischar-
ged, and make it easily accessible to trav
elers, should have an abatement of three
taxes every year as long, as that con-
venience should be maintained The
consequence is now, that you cannot trav-
ell on any principal road in Maine where
you will not see a flowing fountain of
pure water, at which horses and cattle
can refresh themselves, and for the most
part, also, you will see tin dipper hang
ing from the penstock, by means of which
the human travellers may partake of Ad-
mas ale.
Another provision of law in Maine,
entitled to imitation is this; Any per-
sons in the rural towns who will set out
and properly protect rows of shade trees
on the lines of the road, are rewarded by
an abatement of their taxes In many
towns, therefore, you will now see the
highways ornamented and shaded by
growing sugar naples, elm, linded, and
other deciduous trees. In many instan-
ces the effect is much set off by the in
termingling of evergreen trees, such as
hemlocks, frs, spruce, cedars, and pines.
Such ornaments are not only luxury to
travellers in warm weather, but they en-
brace the ague of the contiguous farms.

A Spartan Marriage.

Many of the laws of Lycurgus, in con-
nection with this subject, would undoub-
tedly meet with the appreciation of the
fair sex of modern times The time for
marriage was fixed by statute that of the
man at about thirty or thirty-fve years =,
that of the lady at about twenty, or a
little younger. All men who continued
unmarried after the appointed time were
liable to prosecution, and all old bachelors
were prohibited from being present at
the public exercises of the Spartant mai
dens, and were denied the usual respect
and honors paid to old age. "Why
should / give you places" cried the
young man to the old unmarried gentle
man, 'when you have no child to give me
place when l am old 2" On marriage
portions were given to any of the maid
ems, so that neither poverty should prevent
a gallant, nor riches tempt him to marry
contrary to his. ..inclinations. The parents
Of three children enjoyed coniderable i'm
and those with for children
paid no tax whatever-a regulation which
I'll married men with large families will
'eadily admit to be most wise and equi-
able. Every marriage was preceded by
! betrothal, as in other Greek cities but
he marriage itself was performed by the
7oung Spartan carrying off his bride by
abduction, and for some time
fterward she only met her husband on
tated occasions. This extraordinary way |
f spending the honeymoon was first in
reduced by Lycurgus to prevent the hus-

+ their marriage and in order to econo-
nise the brides charms, it was customary

n the wedding day, so that some time
t least, her personal attractions should
Increase with her years.

An impertinent conductor on the Sec

"Do you call me niger Z" savagely

1t is well known that the men of Coils S
Zouaves are greatly bronzed, and many of
them might well be mistaked for colored
people when they are without uniforms.

Extract of Words

The following anecdote is related of an
Eastern monarch, and is exceedingly sup-
gestive. We once heard of distinguish
ed physician who thanked God because
he was deaf since it saved him from hear
ing world of nonsense. But we are in
clined to think quite as much nonsense
enters through the eye as ear. The
monarch had a library containing books
enough to load thousand camels.
"l cannot read all this" said he
"Select the cream and essence of. it, and
let ME have that" Whcreupon the libra
rian distilled this ocean of words down to
thirty camel loads "Too bulky YETI
said the monarch. 'I have not tittS TO
read that" Whereupon the thirty loads
were doubly distilled, and selection VAS
made, sufficient 10 load single ass
"Too bulky yet" said the monarch
Whereupon it was doubly distilled, and
the only residum was these three lines
written on palm leaf: "This is the sum
of all science. Perhaps" "This is the
sum of all morality-Loye that which is
good, and practice it," This is the sum,
Of all creeds-Believe what is true, and
do not tell all you believe"

Value of Amusement.

The world must be amused. 1t is en-
tirely false reasoning to suppose that any
human being can devote himself exclusi-
vely to labor of any kind. 1t will not do.
Rest alone will not give him adequate re-
lief. He must enjoy himself He must
laugh, sing, dance, eat drink and be mer-
ry. He must chat with his friends, exer-
else his mind in exciting gentle emotions,
and his body agreeable demonstrations of
activity. The constitutions of the hu-
man system demands this. 1t exacts a
variety of influences and motion. 1t will
not remain in health if it cannot obtain
the variety. Too much merriment af-
fects it as injuriously as too much sadness;
too much relaxation is as pernicious as
none at all. But to the industrious tailor,
the sunshine Of the heart is just as indis-
pensable as the material sunshine is to
the fower-both soon pine away and die
if deprived Of it.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1865-06-29

Be frank with the world Frankness is
the child of honesty and courage. Say
just what you mean to do on every oc-
easlon, and take it for granted you mean
to do what is right. If friend ask you
favor, you should grant it, if it is
reasonable; if it is not, tell him plainly
why you cannot. You will wrong him
and wrong yourself by equiYocation
of any kind. Never do a wrong thing to
make friend or to keep one the man
who requires you to do so, is dearly pur-
chased, and at sacrifice Deal kindly,
and firmly with all men and you will
find it the policy which wears the best
Above all, do not appear to others what
you are not. you have any fault to
find with any one, tell him, not others, of
what you complain. There is no more
dangerous experiment than that of un
dertaking to be one thing to mans face,
and another behind his back. We should
live, act and speak out of doors as the
phrase is, and say and do what we are
willing should be known and read by all
men. 1t is not only best as a matter of
principle, but as a matter of policy,

Genuine ElOQuence

The are no people in the world with
which eloquence is so universal as with
the Irish. When Leigh Ritchie was
travelling in Ireland, he passed man
who was painful spectacle of pallor,
squalor, and raggedness. His heart smote
him, and he turned back.
"If you are in want" said Ritchio,
"why don't you beg I"
"Surely, it's begging l am, yer hon.
nor"
"You didn't say word"
"Of course not, yer honor, but see how
the skin is spakin' through the holes in
my trowsers and the bones cryin' out
through me skin Look at me sunken
checks, and the famine that's starin' in
me eyes Man alive, isn't it beggin' !

Saturday Evening,

How MANY a kiss has been giyen--how
many a caress-how many a look of hate
how many a kind word-how many Il
promise has been broken-how many a
heart has been wrcckcd-ho~ many a
soai lost-bow many loved one lowered
TO the narrow chamber-how many babe
has gone forth from earth to heaven
how many little crib or cradle stands
silent now, which last Saturday night
held the rarcst Of the treasures Of The
heart! 4 week is history, A week
makes events of sorrow or Of gladncss,
which people never heed Go home, yea
hcart-erring wanderer. Go home to the
cheer that awaits you, Wronged waits On
carth's billows. Go home TO your fanli-
ly, man of business. Go home to those
you love, man Of toll, and give one night
TO the joys and comforts fast flying by
Leave your books with complex figures
leave everything-your dirty shop
your business store. Rest with those
you love; for God alone knows what next
Saturday night may bring them. Forget
the world OF care and battles with which
life furrowod the week. Draw close a
round the family hearth. Saturday night
has awaited your coming with sadness, in
tears and silence Go home to those you
love, and as you bask in the loved pres
euce, and meet to return the embrace of
your hearts pets, strive to be better
man, aud to bless God for giving His
weary children so dear stepping stone

fee the next morning, there stood crowd
of forty or fifty boys waiting to see him.
All were strangers, and Of course it was
rather difficult to select the best one Of
the company; but there were few signs
by which it could be decided at once that
many of these lads were not wanted, from
which our young friends may take hint
Several of the boys had uncombed hair
and unwashed faces. If they could not
be likely to do their work nicely, so those
were passed over without further notice.
One boy looked bright and smart, but he
kept crowding his way to the front of all
others and thrusting himself into notice.
1t was readily to be seen that he was too
smart" he would probably prove pert
and ssucy. Then came boy with book
peeping out of his breast pocket-a cheap
trashy novel. lie was not wanted; his
mind would be following the hero of the
wonderful story through impossible ad-
vcntures, while his work suffered. One
boy fell to quarreling with his neishbor
Saother had to be reprimanded for med
ding with articles in the office; a third
chewed tobacco; neither of these was
wanted, From the few remaining, after
dismissing the above classes, the boy was
selected who could bring the best testi-
mouials of honesty, Intelligence and in
dustry; good character, will be sure,
sooner or later to bring a good reputation
aud lis rewards.
