MatrimonY.

Wenever remember to have seen the
field canvassed from the pointoE view here
chosen. 1t il presented for the cousidera-
ton Of fair readers
No one will pretend that there sre no
crimes committed By married men. Facts
would look surh an assertion out of counte-
nance. But it may be said with truth that
there are very few crimes committed by mar
ried mon compared with the number com
mtied by those who are unmarried. What
ever faults Voltaire may have had be cer-
talnly showed himself man Of sense when
be said 1.-The more married men y0n have,
the fewer crimes there will be. Marriage
renders man more virtuous and moro
wise
An unmarried man is bat half Of perfect
being, aud it requires the other half to
make things right and it cannot be expect.
ed that in this imperfect state be can keep
the straight path Of rectitude any more
than boat with one oar, or bird with one
wing. can keep a straight course. In nine
cases out Of ten, where married men be-
come drunkards, or when they commit
crimes against the peace of the community,
the foundation Of these acts was laid while
in single state, or where the wife is, 90 is
aome times the case, an unsuitable match
Marriage changes the whole current Of
aman's feelings, and gives him centre for
his thoughts, bis affections and bis acts
Here is home for the entire man, and
the counsel, the affection, the example, and
the interest Of bis "better half' keep him
from the erratic courses, and from falling
into thousand temptations to which be
would otherwise be exposed. Therefore,
the friend to marriage is the friend to So
ciety and to his country. And We have no
doubt but that a similar effect is produced
by marriage on the women; though from
the difference in their labors and the great
er exposure to temptation on the part Of the
man, we have no doubt but that man reaps
q greater advantage from the restraining
influence ofmarriage than woman does.

What We owe to Asia.

If the American or Europesn wishes TO
know how much he owes to the Asiatc. he
has only TO cast glance at an hour Of his
daily life. The clock which summons him
from his bed in the morning, was the inven-
ton Of the East, as also were clepsydras
and sun dias The prayer for his daily
bread, that he has said from his infancy,
first rose from the side of Syrian noun
tain. The linens and cottons with which
he clothes himself, though they may be
very fine, are inferior to those that have
been made from time immemorial in the
looms of India. The silk was stolen by
some missionaries for his benefit from Chi
ma. He could buy better steel than that
with which he shaves himself 10 the old
city Of Damascus. where it was first invent.
ed. The coffee he expects at breakfast,
was first grown by the Arabisns, and the
natives of Upper India prepared the sugar
with which he sweetens it. A school-boy
can tell the meaning of the Sanscrit words,
''sacchara canda." Ii his tastes are light
and he prefers tea, the virtues Of that ex-
cellent leaf were first pointed out by the
industrious Chinese. They yalso taught him
how TO make and use the cup and saucer in
which to serve it. His breakfast tray was
lacquered in Japan. There is tradition
that leavened bread was first made in the
waters of the Ganges. The egg he is break
ing was laid by fowl whose ancestors
were first domcsticated by the Malaccans,
unless she may have been-though that
will not alter the case--a modern Shang-
hal. IL there are preserves and fruits on
his board, let him remember With thank
fulness that Persia first gave him the cherry,
the peach and the plum. If in any these
pleasant preparations he detects the flavor
of alcohol, let it remind him that that sdb-
stance was first distilled by the Arabians,
who have set him the praise.worthy exam
pie, which it will be for his benefit to fol-
low, Of abstaining from its use. When he
talks about coffee and alcohol, he is using
Arabic words. A thousand years before
it had occurred to him to enact laws OF re-
strictionin the use of intoxicating drinks,
the Pro phet of Mecca did the same thing,
and, what is more TO thepurpcse, has COM
PEELED to this day, all Asia and Africa TO
obey them. We crafty our taste for per-
sonal ornaments in the way the Orientals
have taught us--wiih pearls, rubies sap
phires, diamonds. In public amusements
it is the same. The most magnificent dre-
WorkS are StIiI I'D Uo cocu Iii AuufH Guo Oul-
ma and, as regards the pastimes of private,
life, Europe has produced no inventions
that can rival the game Of chess. We
have no hydraulic constructions as great as
the Chinese Canal, no Notifications as ex-
tensive as the Chinese Wall ; we have no

AIDING MuscLE.-Wh steam has done
for common labor, machinery is doing for
agriculture. IL is performing al the hard
work, and largely increasing profits. Not
only is better service and more Of it per-.
formed by machinery upon farms, but it
saves a vast amount OF waste, by perform
ing il at the right time. Men released from
tho drudgery Of hard labor to get living
merely. can clear farms for themselves and
become independent agriculturists, adding
to the amount OF surplus wealth, and bene-
fitting every consumer. Il issaid that Eng
land can better spare the Irish emigrsnt
since eli kinds Of sgrcultureal implements
are employed upon English farms, and it
il believed that the use Of fmachinery will
greatly compensate the South for the labol-
ition of slavery. Machines do not eat. do
not get sick, and are no charge upon their
owners when they are too old 70 work.

Governor Andrew on Reconstruction.

sBosroN, January 4-Governor Andrew to-
day delivered lengthy yaledictory address to

opinion that the Government Of the Y. s.
ought to require the people Of those States
which were in rebellion to reform their Copsti-
tutioDs by first guaranteeing the people Of color,
now the wards Of the nation, their civil rights
as men and women on equality with the white
population, BY amendments irrepealable7 in
terms; second, regulating the elective franchise
according to certain laws Of universal applica4
ton, and not by rules merely arbitrary, capri
cious and personal; third, >nnqllipg the ordi-
nance Of secession fourth, disafirming the
rebel debt. Hs would have all put to the vote
Of the people themselves. On the subject Of
amnesty be says: Y hen the day arrives,
which must surely come, when an amnesty
substantially universal shall be proclaimed,

porary policy and artificial rules, had been dis
