Mhnt il an ODD Maid.

Never be afraid 81 becoming an old
maid, fair reader. An old maid is far
more honorable than heartless wife;
and single blessedness' Is greatly su-
perior, in point OF happiness, 10 we'd
ded life without love. Fall not in
love, dear girl-beware" says the
song. But we DO not agree with said
song on this question. On the con-
trary, we hold that ii is n good thing
to fall in love or get in love, if the
loved object be Q worthy one. To fan
in love with an honorable man is rs
proper as it IS for an honorable maa to
fall in love with a avirtuous and amiahle
woman; and what could be a more
gratifying spectacle than n sight SO
pure, 50 approaching in its devotion to
the celestial? Ne; fall in love Is soon
a. YOU like, provided it be with n suit
able person. Fail in love, and then
marry; bat never marry unless you do
love. That's the great point. Never
marry for "a "homep or a husband -
Never degrade yourself by becoming
a party to such an alliance. Never
sell yourself, body and soul, on terms
SO contemptible. Love dignifies all
things; it ennobles all conditions.
With love, the marriage rite is truly n
sacrament. Without 1t, the ceremony
IS base fraud, and the act a human
desecrasion. Marry for love, or not a
all. BE an "old maidp If fortune
throws not in your way the man of
your heart; and though the witless
may sncer and the Jester may laugh,
you still have your reward i'm an APP
proving conscience and a compary-
lively peaceful life.
For well-to-1o bachelors we have no
sympathy They ought to be taxed
of all they are worth, to
support women and children.

For prosperous people, we arc,
brain and muscle, the hardest worked
III the world. Our play is more weari-
some than the toll of other nations.
In banking and in trade in founding
cities and in opening mines, in laying
out and building roads, by land and by
sea, we waste ourselves by our contin-
uous effort, and We literally perish for
want of recreation. Our pace would
be too fast if we went but five miles at
it, and we keep it up for fifty. There
is little need Of Urging our people TO
industry; discussion from unhealthy
application would be more timely, for
there is not an ounce in our whole
body polite. We earnestly and hon
estly advise al our readers in some way
TO take their rest and pleasure. If
they can not GO fifty miles, let them
go ten; if they live inland, let them
seek the shore; if by the sea, let them
taste the pleasures of the country; if
they can do no better (which is hardly
possiblel, ict them go TO bed, and let
them stay there a week without think
ing of their notes, their, shops, and
their worrying speculations. Let
them devote a few days to cultivating
an acquaintance with their own wives
and children. Above all, let them lac
temperate and rational.-N y. Ti-

y correspondent asks how it il that
Illinois has CONGRESSMAN at larses''
4 Each State is entitled by the C0nsti-
tuition aud laws made an pursuance
thereof, to 50 many Representatives in
the lower house Of Congress. Con-
gress may by law determine the whole
number of which the House Is TO be
composed, and these arc distributed
among the States according to ihe
representative population IN each as
prescribed by Constitution. The
state may choose the number to which
she is entitled in any way its own
laws may direct; THAT is, either by sep
crate districts or by general ticket, or
partly in one way and partly in the
other.
Under the law of Congress in exist
ence previous to 1850, Illinois was ep-
titled To thirteen Congressmen. So
rapidly did the population Of that
state increase, however, that under
the present law-passed after the cen
suS Of 1869 was taken Illinois became
entitled TO fourteen Congressman, al
though the population necessary to
send one Representative was raised
from $4,000 to 10000. The State. how
ever, being divided into thierteen dis
tricts, and redistricting not beng
then desirable, or probably under the
laws Of Illinois not legal, except at
certain periods, the fourteenth Con-
gressman is now elected by the whole
people Of the State, the other thirteen
being chosen by the people of the thir-
teen districts respectively, as before.
that is, Illinois elects thirteen of her
fourteen Representatives by districts,
and the remaining one by general
ticket.
1t may assist our readers TO under
stand this subject if they recall the
fact that until comparatively recent
period "a number OF the States chose all
their Representatives by general tick
ct, just as at the present time they all
choose the Presidential Electors by
general ticket instead OF bY districts. !

Afvlces from the South show q re-
markablc change of sentiment among
the colored people, at least of that
region, in reference to emigration to
Liberia. Before the war the Coloniza-
ton Society had become SO unpopular
with the blacks, and net such unceas-
ing hostility from the anti-slavery men
OF the North, that its mission of build
/ ing up "A nation of black freemen on
the t Of Africa, seemed to.be ended
with the seven thousand souls it had
succeeded in tiansplanting to that
country.
The opposition to colonization then,
while it may have beeu unjust, was
not unreasonable, for the reason that
it seemed to be q scheme for removing
the free colored people from the United
states, in order that their presence
might not excite discontent i'm The
minds of the slaves, and thus weaken
the tenure Of slavery. Such ut least
was the opinion of those who were de-
sired a. cmigrants, and of the white
enemies OF the slave system of the
South.
So intense was this feeling that a
negro who favored colonizationrl rlsked
his personal safety by urging his views
upon his colOred brethren, and argu-
ments in favor of Liberia, when pre-
scnted by white persons of influence
and official position, backed by offers
of aid from the public treasury, while
respectfully heard, were barron of re-
suits. The State Of Indiana appropria-
ted thousands of dollars in aid Of colo
ni2alion, bat ell il accomplished by
the outlay, was TO pay the salary of
colonization agent for several wears,
and 10 send one black man to Liberia.
who, after Il short soiourn in that
promised land of liberty and equality,
returned TO this State.
But, now that slavery has been de-
stroyed, the former ground of opposi-
ton TO the Libcrian project has been
removed, and there promises 10 be
volnme of emigration thitber unex-
ampled in the history OF the past. Six
hundred young, vigorous colorcd per-
sons have left, or are about leaving
Charleston, South Carolina, for Liberia,
under the auspices of the Am erican
Colonization Society, and large num-
bcrs of Others are preparing 10 follow.
One of the most active and devoted
agents Of this work in South Carolina,
is Miss Gregg, a sister of the late Cen
cr,ll Maxey Gregg, Of the rebel army,
who was killed at the battle of Fred
ericlIshurg. She is represented as
noble woman, devoted tothe improve
mcnt md welfare OF the colored people,
and believing that their condition will
he immeasluab!y improved by remov-
ing 10 q country where they will be
citizens in the full sense of the term,
and where they may have a larger
scope for Improvement than in their
present location, she has entered zeal
ouSly into the work of colonization,
and has succeeded in inducing large
mum bcrs of the coiored people of her
State to try the experiment.-E1-
