ENCOURAGEMENT TO LovERs.--In his
discourse on Sunday evening, at the
Broadway Church. New York City. on
"The Sanctiies Of the Threshold" Rev.
Dr.. Chaplin took occasion to condemn in
vigorous language the prevalent notion
and silly talk about the unhappiness OF
married life. lie argued that unhappi.
ness in that condition was the exception
and not the rule, and that the vast ma
jority OF young men and women would
be happier as well as better by entering
into married life. He also disclaim ed
against the present fashionable and ex.
travagant style Of living, and against the
idea that young married couples must
begin life in the same style maintained at
home by their parents. The sermoa was
listened TO by a very large congregation
The above features OF it were by no
means It's most eloquent thoughts. .'g

New Jersey enjoys the enviable distinction OF
having no debt, but some other states are heavily
burthened. Take Maine for example, which.
before the war, owed only 300 900. but now has
an Indebtedness of $5.I37 600 exclusive of large
amounts to be refunded to cities and towns Tor
aid given tn soldiers families.
The Portland Argus, in contemplating the
gloomy prospect, is constrained to say " the in
dications are that the amount of taxation, NUM-
cipal, state and federal, will inevitably reach the
utmost limit that can be borne. The state tax
this year is to be increased by some three hun
dred aud fifty thousand dollars over that OF last
year, or 10 eight times the amount il was six
years ago" Massachusetts, owes no less than
$40, 500 ,972, of which SI4, 372 600 was added
during the war. This sum-. however. includes
the debt IS 900 900 guaranteed by railroad
companies. OF the state debt of Wisconsin, all
but 800, 900 was incurred for war purposes.
Pennsylvania, with a large debt, experiences a
sensible relief in the discovery of immense sub
terranean reservoirs of oil, to say nothing of the
continued development of the iron and coal re
gions. In this she ID remarkably favored. Ohio
will have to meet her obligations under circum-
stances less propit'ous. for while the public in
debtedness has increased, the available resources
in some respects have diminished, apparently on
account of the loss OF manual labor by ABSORB
ton in the army. or by emigration.
The AUDITOR report. just published, shows
that. as compared with the year 1861. the mum
Der of acres in cereal crops has fallen from g.
$40. $40 to 5. las ,374, OF which about fifteen per
cent. was in the last year. In the quantity Of
cereals produced. there was a decline from $780,
74o, 942 bushels in 1862 to SS,245. 636 in 1864,
the decrease being about seventeen per cent. in
the last year. Excep, in the single item of
sheep, there was a corresponding decline in the
number of domestic animals. The " Empire
State +" of New York has a comparatively small
debt. and being in the enjoyment Of an incom-
parable canal and railway system, to which the
entire west is tributary, has no special reason for
disquietude in regard to her monetary affairs.
The one great lesson for all the states to learn,
is the necessity for a rigid economy in every de
partment of administration. and the greatest pos
sible development of every industrial interest.
The latter must be sedulously cherished. if only
for the single purpose of meeting the national
debt. The agricultural wealth of the country
has no limit, and the mineral resources of the
United States, the petroleum, coal, iron, copper
and precious metals-are practically inexhausti-
