Marriage.
The editors of tue New York Erening
Gazette have been asked by some Of
their young lady readers if they believed
with the Apostle Paul that it is best
not to marry. To this query they re-
ply as follows. The fact that the Civ
ers of this advice are bachelors does
not, we suppose, initiate against its
fsoundEess:
eyes or no, dear girls. That depends
upon circumstances. A husband is like
blacksmith's largest hammer, in being
u very handy and useful article to have
about, if you need 1t and can manage
it, and very useless and maidpropos if
you don't and cant. Speaking chemic
ally, marriage is mixing the oil and wa
ter Of opposing tastes, unless the alkali
of genuine love be added, in which case
you have soap and smoothness, and
glide through life easily. Or We may
vary the expression a little, and may
say that love is solvent which unites.
1t is indispensable, it is delightful, it is
powerful; bnt the trouble is, that u
great many people are fatally apt to
mistake weak solution of sentiment
and romance for the genuine extract
whose power and flavor will last through
life. Don't he in any hurry to try
those chemical experiments for your
selves, dear enquirers-check aprons
are better than ,chignons, and house,
keeping should be studied under NAM
mas tuition before you try chemistry
under your own. In this matter don't

WIN. Lash--sIelancholy Anair.

s Itis our painful duty 20 announcethat
oa Sunday morning last, before break
fast, Mr.. VIM Lash, three miles south of
town, was found dead at his barn, having
cpt his throat from ear to ear, witha pen
knife. He was a single man, between
26fty and sixty Years Of age-a good
kind citizen, inofFensive and exemplary
.iilan. His unmarried sister lived with
him. IL is believed that bis mind became
affected for fear that be should come to
want, as he was made believe that the
building of the Pike from here to War
nocks-which passes through his farm
would absorb his entire farm to pay the
taxes. This will not be very pleasant
theughttoithose who may have Interest
edly or disenterestedly contributed, in
! this way, to the destruction of this un-
suspectiDg and innocent man. He was
in our Office week ago, and paid for his
paper one year in advance. We then saw
that his mind was terribly exercised on
this subject, but we had 20 idea that it
was SO much effected. We endeayored
Kindly to encourage him, and to show
him that his fears were unfouhded, be-
lieying as We did, that partiee were try
ing to frightcn him. SO as TO get hold Of
e his fine farm at mere nominal figure.
If this vas the object, some one has a
terrible account to giye.-StS Clarsville

:. If ever the American citizen should be
left to the free exercise Of his own judg-
ment, it is when he is engaged in forming
the fundamental law under which he is
to live. That work is his work, and it
cannot be properly taken out of his hands.
All this legislation proceeds upon the
contrary assumption that the people Of
these States shall have no constitution
except such as may be arbitrarily dicta-
ted by Congress, and formed under the
restraint of military rule. A plain state
ment Of facts makes this evident. In all
these States there are existing constitu-
tions formed in the accustomed way by
the people; Congress, moreover, says that
the constitutions are not loyal and re-
publican, and requires the people to form
them anew. What, then, in the opinion
of Congress, is necessary to make the
constitution of State loyal and republi-
can? The original act answers the ques-
ton: it is universal negro suffrage
question which the Federal constitution
leaves to the States themselves. All this
legislative machinery of martial law, mil
itary coercion, and political disfranchise-
ment is ayowedly for that purpose, and
none other. The existing constitutions
Of the ten States conform to the acknowl-
edged standards of loyalty and republi-
canism. Indeed, if there are degrees in
republican forms of government, their
constitutions are morerepubican now than
when these States--four of which were
the original States-frst became mem
bers of the Union. Congress does not
