BAcHELoR's PERns.--Marriageab men
are beginning to be wary. Even If man
is allowed to visit in the guise of friend,
the chances are that he will eventually drift
into matrmony. Supposing there to be
several daughters in the family where he
visits, he will look upon the number as his
greatest safeguard. He may imagine tina,
he win never attempt to single out one, from
the difficulty of discovering which one to
single out. The girls would, of course, lead
him to believe that they looked upon HIM as
brother, and that tpappa and mamma looked
upon him in the light of son-not son-in-
law. The lucky bachelor would thus be
lulled to sleep. He would become ungarded
in his actions, and would allow his feelings
to lead him whittier they listed, and, as q
natural sequence, he would eventually SIM
gle some one rose from these flowers of
womankind, as being a little iairer, havinga
more charming manner, or for in some way
or other coming nearer than her sisters to
his ideas Of all that is excellent in woman.
II bachelor of middle age, he would most
probably have selected the youngest of the
family, cheating himself inio the belief that
he did SO simply out of sort of fatherly
regard for her. He would christen her the
"baby" of the house, though she might be
a fine grown maiden of eighteen summers,
and have all the airs and ideas of woman
three times her age. He would more fire.
quently address his conversation to her than
to her sisters, but at the same time he would
raralv fn III atuaat rnaanbao toIli,o move l;La
schoolmaster than an admirer, that she
might be instructed somewhat He would
prefer walking with her, that he might point
out the beauties of nature, or illustrate the
harmonies of creation; and in effect, he
would not fail TO show his preference in spite
of his awkward apologies and grotesque
efforts at concealment, The sisters would
be careful not to check legitimate sport.
They would maneuyre so that the lovers, as
they would jokingly call them, always sat
next one another at the family board, that
| they were partners in all amusements, and
that in party drives or walks they should
either be left behind or be left in front. OF
course this style Of proceeding would not
fail to be observed, The lady friend of the
iamiiy Wouiu ieei III uuty pouhu 10 teil her
husband, and the husband would have no
other alternative than to inform his friend
that, owing to the ialk of the neighbors, he
must either cease his visits altogether, or
continue them on different footing. The
poor bachelor has but one course open to
him-as man of honor and gentleman 4,
he must as speedily as possible raise the

matron.--1he Wsst End.

AN INTERESTING RRMINIeCENcE OF JOHN
BRowN.-A correspondent of the New York
Commercial Advertiser, writing from Catskill
Mountain House, gives the following remi-
niscence Of old John Brown: .---.
"During the visit on Monday, Rev. New
man Hall was more inquisitiVe in regard to
John Brown than anybody in this country.
He holds to the notion that John Brown had
more to do than any one man with bringing
the ''irrepressible conflict" to q decisive
crisis. he seemed to think it strange that
he should be executed-strange that he was
not rescued before execution. There hap
pened to be at the Mountain House gen.
tleman who had known John Brown many
years ago, and who told this anecdote:
"When Twas young man, y the gentleman,
in substance, said, 81 was brought into GER
tain business relations with John Brown.
The first meeting with him l shall never for
get. We came together at dinner at the
same farm house. / had been taking lessons
in scientific boxing and prided myself on
my skill In the noble art of pugilism.' John
Brown came to the table, a plain, rough
man, quiet of speech, without coat, and
with shirt tsleevesrolled up, showing brawny
arm. It occurred 10 me that here was an
excellent chance to show the superiority Of
science over brute force, or, perhaps ought
to say, of art over muscle, and began to
try to pick quarrel with the fellow. ] al
luded to the vulgarity of coming to table
in ones shirt sleeves. made sharp hits at
some awkwardness; but failing to provoke
my quiet victim into any excitement, FINALLY
challenged him for an outright fight with
our fists. Promptly he accepted my chal-
lenge, and added, Young man, there is no
better time for anything than now; let US go
into the back yard and have il out" ~ /,
So we went, and had just posed myself
in the best pugilistic attitude for either do
fence or offence. and was thinking, "What an
admirable attitude have, and 1T won't be
long before get blow which will settle
this man., when something struck me be
tween the two eyes, which / had the meres
point of time to think was the blunt end o
an iron pump handle. The next was con
scious of was an effort to open my eyes, ant
/ found myself supported on the arm of

who said, "My friend, the best thing to b

Congress from Minnesota, delivered an ad-
dress at the late meeting OF the State
Teachers Association, in which he said he
thought that Congress should fix standard
of popular education, below which States
should not be allowed to fall; and II they
do, the Government should take control OF
their departments and manage it properly.
The existence of the Government, he argued,
demanded this. The doctrine Of self,delence
should here hold good. No State, by allow

danger its sister States. Above and before
