MARRIED MEN-Voltaire said: "The
moro married men you have. the fewer
crimes there vii. be. Marriage renders
q man more virluous and more wise.-
An unmarried man is but half or per-
feet being, and it requires the other half
to make things right; and it cannot be
expected that in this imperfect state he
can keep The straight and narrow path
of rectitule, any more than boat with
one oar or n bid with one wing, can
keep straight course. In nine eases
out of ten, where married men become
drunkards, or commit crimes against the
community, the foundation of these acts
Was laid while in a single state, or where
the wife is, as is sometimes the case, an
unsuitable match. Marriage changes the
current of a mans feelings, and gives
him centre for bis thoughts, his affec
tons and his acts. Here is a home for
the entire man; and the counsel. the af
fections. the example and interest Of his
better halt, to keep him from erratic
courses, and from falling into tempta-
tons to which he would otherwise be
exposed. Therefore, the friends 20 mar
riage is tie friend to society and TO his
couH!ry."

Wearing Away.

All things are wearing away-noth
ing is new. The rocky sides of the river,
which resist the cutting of a chisel, yield
10 the empowering hold and continual
stroke of tho sweeping currant of the
breaking waves. The overlapping stones
of the mountain, steel clad like, defying
impregnation through any attempt by
man, challenging any mechanical power
to move them from their stationary po
sitions, huge in their ponderous weight,
are Intellectual in resistance to that con-
tinued, yet imperceptible weakening of
their vast bulk, and give away to the
never dyiag power of time and crumble
to dust. Trees, animals, and all things
that live-all material substance is wear
ing away.
Everything is wearing away. Old
customs, fashions, and habits wear out
of use and form the deep and hidden
strata of those namberless things that
were, but are overspread with what Is
new and exercised by us to day. Prin-
ciples around which were hung oil the
adornmcnts that the brilliant intelIects of
philosophers could manufacture are mum
bered with the past, as sophisms useless
to transmit to futurity, and Incapable OF
standing the wesr of time. They soon
proved cracked and worthless, and wero
but transmantic to some circumstances.
but with its death they departed.
Doctrines round which were shed all
the halo Of the truth that their discover
les could Grove, and undcr which was
placed all the support-:ron like-oi
sages, have worn so thin through ages
that their righteousness has long been
disclosed, and eternal as they once ap.
pcared have become enervated, power
loss through tie onslaught of time.
They, too, have shown tia: nothng is
eternal.
Old tenants and maxims that had be-
come indoctriua:cd in the minds of ia
tons and people, and had been declared
as truisms and held as guards TO liberty,
defenders against innovations of wrong,
had worn thread bare aud are now shun-
ned as orposers 20 human rights, and
scofted AT tie senseless impediments to
advancement.-All these have worn
away. All else is wearing away.

THE SENATORIAL QUEsrIoE.-Con-
siderable interest is being awakened
through the State in regard to the ques-
ton of who shall by tho next Senator.
Among the candidates spoken of are
Gen. G. g. WoshhurA, Hon. Matt Fl
Carpenter. Ex Gov. Solomon, o. Fl .
Waldo, Esq. and several others. Tho
Portage Register very sensbly says:--
1t is matter of Just graduation that
all of the aspirations for the position of
Senator arc tried men, and of approved
integrity, and let the choice fall where it
may the State will have a good repies-
entative. Tbst the preferences of men VIII
vary is but natural and to be expected !;
but as long rs it can accomplish no good
to express preferences, before our party
ascendency in the legislature is assured.
we believe it will be wisdom on the part
ofnewspapcrs, dicussiag the question
until after the election.
