DR.. Stark, the Rcgistrar-General Of Scot
land, infers, from these figures, that "bach-
elorhood is more destructive to life than the
most unwholcsome trades, or than residence
in an unwho!esome house or district where
there never has been the most distant at.

kind" We do not question tho opinion
that matrimony may in thousand ways cx.
crcise hcalthful influence on the human
race, by ennobling its habits and enforcing
sobriety, &C., but we think DR.. Stark cx-
cceds the legitimate conclusion consequent
on the premises. 1t must be remembered
that married men are generally Of more
robust and healthful constitution than bach
elors, who frequently are deferred by i'll
health from undertaking the support Of
families. This important clement in the
calculation has been forgotten by DR.. Stark
aud reasoners of his class

LINDEN, Michigan, Dec. l2. 1866

LINDEN, NIlchlsan, dec. IL. 1870.
Dear Sir-As the town of Yassar, from
its location and surroundings, may be Of
some interest to your readers, will attempt
a short description Of it. There il settle
ment Of Pennsylvania in Tuscola County,
about twenty or twenty five miles distant
from Vassar, some where in the vicinity Of
Unonville, which is near the County Seat,
and l take it that the people are pleased to
hear from the County in which their friends
are settled.
Vassar is q pleasant little town situated
on either bank Of the Cass River, but the
principal part Of the town is situated on the
right bank, extending up quite side hill,
which most travellers think dctracts sonle-
thing from the pleasantncss Of the place. -
1t is about seventy miles from Port Huron,
and on State road nearly opened from Port
Huron to Saginaw the latter being sixteen
miles from Vassar, which part Of the road
was plankcd last year and the forepart Of
this. There are two Ssw Mills and Grist
or Flour Mill, the latter Of which and one
of the former arc driven by the waters Of
the Cass, but the other Saw Mill is driven
by steam. There arc also three hotels, four
dry goods stores, two cabinet shops, wagon
and two blacksmith shops, drug, book and
stationery store combined, Radical press,
which sends out sheet filled mostly with
advertisements and the blackest kind of
radicalisln, There is II Presbyterian church
(frame), Of long standing in the place, and
Methodist church in course Of erection,
which is being made of brick, also Union
or Graded school building, in which arc
three schools taught. Vassar at one time
was the scat Of the lumber trade, but is not
so much SO now, in consequence Of the lum-
Der having been mostly taken off, which
takes considerable business out of the place.
1t is not as II general thing farming coun-
try, still there is some as good farming land
in the vicinity as anywhere in the State
Crops, as general thing, were better than
most people expected they would be. Prices
have been lower than usual this fall, but
they are now on the rise. Wheat is worth
nearly $500, and other things in proper
tion. We have had splendid run ofslcigh-
ing Of about two weeks.
Yours, very respectfully,
a FRIEND.

WoRTH TELLING. AS is generally known,
the late Maj. VIM. Fry, decd, Of our city,
was great whit and humorist, and rarely
got off anything in that line that was not
pronounced good" We have heard tell Of
one Of his jokes that is worth putting in
print. During the war o rOlling.mill in
which ono Of his neighbors was largely in
terested, was obliged to suspend work on ac-
count of stagnation in business. Coming
up town one morning, the Major called to
him across the street, requesting him tocome
over, and added that he had an idea to give
him in regard to his rolliug-mill that might
make in very profitable.

can give mo any suggestion that will be val
liable, ! shall feel vory grateful

A Hundred Years to Come.

No one ever appears to think how soon
he must sink into oblivion-th We are one
generation Of millions. Yet such is the
fact Time and progress have, through
countless ages, come marching hand in
hand-the one destroying, the other build
ing up. They seem to create little or no
commotion, and the work Of destruction is
as easily accomplished as child will pull to
pieces rose. Yet such is the fact. A
hundred years hence, and much that we now
see around us will have passed away. 1t is
but the repetition Of life's story; We are
born, VIC live, wo die; and hence We will
not grieve over those venerable piles, find
ing the common level Of their prototypes in
nature, ultimate death.
We all within our graves shall sleep
A hundred years to come;
No living soul for us will weep
A hundred years to come;
But other men our land will till,
And other men our streets will gil,
And other birds will sing Us guy,
As bright the sunshine as to-day,
A hundred years to conc.

Have Courage 10 Say "NO."

You're starting to-day on life journey,
Alone on the highway OF life;
You meet with thousand temptations;
Each city with evil is rife.
This world is u stage OF excitement,
There's danger wherever you go;
But il you are tempted to weakness,
Have courage, my boy, to say NO.
The syren's sweet song may allure you;
Beware of her cunning and art;
Whenever you see her approaching,
BE guarded and haste to depart.
The billiard saloons are inviting,
Decked out in their tinsel OF show;
You may be invited to enter,
Have courage, my boy, to say NO
The bright ruby wine may be offered
No matter how tempting it bc,
From poison that stings like an adder,
My boy, have the courage to flee.
The gambling halls are before you,
Their lights how they dance to and iio,
Ii you should be tempted to enter,
Think twice, even thrice, ere you go.
In courage alone lies your safety,
When you the long journey begin,
And trust in good moral training,
Will keep You unspotted from SIN.
Temptations will go on increasing,
As streams from rivulet flow,
But IL you are true to your manhood,
Have the courage, my boy, to say mo.

CURE FOR CRoUp. The parents Of young
children arc apt, at this season of the year,
to be anxious in regard to Group. An ex-
change publishes the following recipe for
the relief Of Group, which we publish for
tho benefit Of young mothers: Take one
ounce of sweet oil, and add to it half an
ounce of gum opal. Apply to the chest,
under the arms, the palms Of the hands and
hollows Of the feet. 1t will generally fc-
lieve the most severe cases Of Group in five
minntes. Remember to use externally and
