not likely to be inaugurated.

Presidential Gossip.

How uncertain and unreliable is every
thing pelitieal2 Two weeks ago. when
the conviction of the President appeared
certain, he stood almost alone, friendless.
NobIy battling to sustain the Constitu-
ton and the laws as he was, even We of
the Democratic press, threw him OF, as
serting that he was not elected By US,
was not Of us. and had no right to ex-
pect Us TO defend him. To-day many Of
the ablest papers are loud in his praise,
and demand for him the Democrats
nomination at New York johnson
stock is certainly in the ascendant, and
we think now the chances are in favor of
johnson and Hancock being the uomi-
nees, as the representative of anti Radi-
c2lism.
i. may be calculated that Conservative
Republicans and anti ti-impsachers will
work soIidly with the Democracy for
johnson or Hancock, or both, when the
nomination of Pendleton would drive
them back into, Radical ranks.
The movement to organize Third
party, who will nominate Mr.. Chase for
President, is assuming proportions.
Chase and his adherents are chagrined

suything to distFaet their councils and

LOVE- ASD MARRIAGE-As there is
nothing doing in the matrimonial market
that we can with propriety quote, to
satisfy the gossipping disposition of our
male readers, we think it best to submit
some advice CLEANED from old sages rela-
tive to love and marriage. 1t is unwise
to hope for domestic happinea the
possession of single favorables1l II OF
character it is better to look Tor com
bination, and they are most to be con-
graduated who can discern and WOO and
win the possessor of the largest number
of good points First of all, the man
whom you love, the woman whom you
adore, should possess high sense of
right and wrong next; bodily health
and thirdly, moral bravery, courage to
be Industrious, economical and self
denying. With these three traits. prin-
ciple, health, aud a soul that can do and
dare all that one ought to, domestic fell
city will abide. None ought to marry
who cannot command the means of en-
abling them to live in comfort according
to their station in life without grinding
economies. Il is useless to talk about
Love in cottage. The little rascal al
ways runs away when there is no bread
and butter on the table. There is more
love in q fnll -four barrel than ia all the
roses aud posies and weodbines ever
grew. No mechanic should marry until
he is master of his trade nor profes-
sional man until income is adequate to
the style of life which he determines
upon; nor the merchant until his clear
annual gains are equal to his domestic
expenditures, unless, indeed, there are,
in either Me, independent aud uncon-
iitional sd4ees of incomes No man
ought to marry who has to work ike a.
horse from morning till night 10 supply
iamily necessaries, whether it be brain
'r body for if the body is thus made
irudge Of, it perpetuates impaired power
o the race while if the brain is over |
rrought, its effects will be seen in child |
en- of feeble intellect if. indeed they are
