How TO Avoid q Bad Husband.

THE following rules will teach young
ladies how to avoid the catching of bad
husband:
1. Never marry for wealth. A woman's
life consistent not in those things that she
possesseth.
2. Never marry flop, or one who struts
about dandy like, in kid gloves, cane, and
rings on his fingers. Bewarei there is Q.
trapl
3. Never marry niggard or close-fsted,
mean, sordid man, who saves every penny,
or spends it grudgingly. Take care, lest
he stint you to death.
4. Never marry stranger or one whose
character is not known or tested. Some
women Jump right into the fire with their
eyes wide open.
5. Never marry a NOPE or drone, or one
who drawls and draggles thu ough life, one
foot after another, and lets things take
their chances.
6. Never marry man who treats his
mother or sister unkindly or indfferently.
Such treatment is sure indication Of
meanness and wickedness.
Z. Never, on any account, marry gam
bier, profane person, one who in the
least speaks lightly of God or of religion.
Such man can never make a good hus-
band /
s. Never marry sloven, a man who is
negligent of his person or dress, and is
filthy in his habits. The external appear
ance is an index of the heart.
8. Shun the rake as a snake, viper, a
very demon.
10. Finally, never marry man who is
addicted to the use of ardent spirits De-
pend upon it, you are better off alone than
you would be were you tied to man
whose breath is polluted and whose vitals
are being gnawed out by alcohol.-Er-

Good Advice.

THE following aorceau of correspond
ence, says the New York Home Journal,
will best accomplish the good intentions of
the writer, if rescued from the privacy of
its retirement and introduced 10 the appre-
citation of larger audience 1t will suffi-
clentiy explain itself, and we need only
say, to satisfy the readers interest, that
the writer is the respected head of one of
eur prominent institutions of learning, a
sacdnt honored in the scientific circles of
both hemispheres, and an author whose
works have enriched our literature alike
in beleS-Iettres and science.
DEAR CHUM: / have heard of some
benevolent old gentlemen lending money
to poor young fellows, on the very easy
terms that they should hand the money
over to some other deserving men, when
they were done with it. Good advice GER
tainly ought to be handed down in this
way, and l think the terms of the invest
ment would be more likely to be complied
with, than in case of money transactions.
| have long been your debtor, and the
only way which seems easy to pay the
debt is, to give theuedvice to others. More
than twenty years ago, we returned %
our apartment from an evening walk, ana
as grasped the door knob eagerly, and
confidently, to pass within, was suddenly
halted by locked door; then it was, that,
with grave face, you gave me piece
of advice that has been invaluable.
Bunsbay, the philosopher of the cautious
Clara, never equalled it for depth Of wis
dom. "P-, always unlock the door be-
| fore you walk into the room" This sapi
emit counsel was duly repeated afterward,
and, at the close of my collegiate career,
you took me by the hand as we were about
to separate, and, with your last fareweils,
impressed upon my mind the great i'm
! pOrtance of always remembering to I'M
/ lock the door before entering The room.
After beating about the world for more
/ than twenty years, having my share of
to recommend your advice to all young
men, and ask them to snake note of it,"
/ Success has come by unlocking the
| door before attempting to walk in; failure
/ by attempting to walk in while the door
| was locked.
When l see young man rushing into
/ business without preparation, say, My
! dear sir, better wait and unlock the door
! If you will take time the door can be
| opened, and you may walk in without
! difficulty" So of the men who are un-
dertaking what is beyond their powers, or
are attempting to carry on business dis
| honestly; in nine cases out OF ten, they
will find the door into the best room
locked. Good preparation, good co uraee,
and honest perseverance, will open almost
/ any door-the door to fame, to fortune,
or to usefulness-better than both. So 1
give to all young men the benefit of your
sage advice. &C Be sure yoW atnloc.t the dosr
before y0X attempt to aodik a7a." p

A Queer Scene i'm Court.

ONE of those ludicrous incidents that
occasionally are witnessed in the dignifed
presence of a hall of justice occurred in
the United States District Court, recently.
A German farmer from the country came
in to be sworn as a surety on the bond of
gentleman who was getting his tobacco
relieved from the seizure that it had suffer
ed from the authorities Having been in
formed that ne must swear to certain mat
tiers, he was brought into court
Judge Leavitt then proceeded to ques
ton him.
care there any mortgages on your
property
"Not id mortgage on mine property
and plenty of monys at home" said the
affiant, with the utmost simplicity, keep
ing to his duty in the line of swearing.
The Judge saw tie man was honest and
meant no contempt, so relaxing his dig
nifty, with smile on his face, he proceed
ed with the 1ext question.
"Do yo, owe any debts ?"
"Not on DIN cent; und yens gets
all as peoples owes me, / bees richer as
am"
the Judge, with smile twinkling in his
eyes.
About a score of men, the affiant among
them, were seen hurrying out of the court
room, with faces red with suppressed
laughter. Having passed into the hall,
out of hearing of the Court, each man
sought quiet place to be relieved of his
rent-up laughter.
the honest old Teuton had, beyond
doubt, experienced for the first time the
pr ocess of swearing before court. 1t
had been previously explained to.him by
telling him he must swear, and he had
evidently mistaken the civil oath for pro-
family, as his serious manner throughout
the whole proceeding NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

THE LITTLE CoRPoRAL.--A late num-
Der of this original magazine for boys and
girls, and for older people who have young
hearts, has found its way to our table, and
is so redolent of every rare and delicious
thing for young hearts, that we are con
strained to herald its uncommon merits.
The stories are delightful and invariably
obstructive. The poetry is simple, tender,
pretty and high. The composition is ex-

nThe Drift Of the Tide"

Wallace's tide" still continues to drift
the wrong way. The prospects of Seymour
and Blair are growing small by degrees
and beautifully less" The following are a
few examples:
The Elnira Gazette, the only Democratic
daily paper in Chemung county, New York,
declares that Horatio Seymour cannot and
should not be elected, and accordingly runs
up the Republican nominees.
The Steubenville Herald states that THE
German Democrats of Ohio are abandoning
that party by thousands and enrolling among
the friends of Grant and peace. y
The Republic, the Washington organ OF
the war Democrats, has hoistcd the flag OF
Grant and Colfax and is battling vigorously
for the cause. 1t would have gone for Chase
but it can t follow Wade Hampton lead.
The GAINESVILLE (Ohio) Germaaia, the on
ly German paper published there, which
has hitherto been Democratic, in last week S
issue repudiates Seymour and Blair.
The Raleigh n. c. Standard guarantees
0U,UbO HaJOIliy iOI pidHI anu SO44"N AZ
North Carolina.
The Hon David kilgore, formerly repre-
sentative in Congress from Indiana, and
during the past three years warm support
er of the President, has repudiated the
Democratic nominations. and will take the
stump for Grant and Colfax.
The Mahanoy (Schuylkill CO.. Gazette,
heretofore a neutral paper, last week run up
the Republican ticket, with the following
announcement
We raise this week the Republican stand
ard. Now that the enemies of Republican
liberty have organized; now that the adhe
rents of treason again show a bold front
now that the friends OF the lost cause
have in the South plucked up courage
cheered by the substantial aid and comfort
extended by the Copperhead Democracy OI
the North who without the courage TO be
avowed rebels have. at the same time, al
the instincts of insidious traitors, we are
| convinced that 1t Is the time for every loya
/ paper to show its colOrs.
The New York Jomna! Of Commerce
which speaks the mitds of the solid men o.
the party, gives up the contest, and says the
action of the Tammany Convention forfeited
the support of the honest portion of the
party. Had two good Conservative Dem
ocrats s. been presented, it says, ''the ticke
could have been elected by an overwhelming
majority" As it is, however, there is NJ
hope. We quote:
I'VE shall not be surprised if the rrorOr
ton of those who actually refrain from vo
Ting should be of it elf beyond all forme
precedent 1t might have been ia
otherwise if there had Eeen virtue and deci
sion enough among those who are direct.

The hNiggern Delegate.

Joseph f. Williams, of Ten nessee, the
''niggcr" delegate to the New York Conven-
ton, is black carpet baggcr," having
been born and raised in Philadelphia, and
having resided in Washington AZ the out
break of the rebellion What manner OF
man this Williams is can be inferred from
sketch of his subsequent career, which we
find in the Detroit Post The writer, an
ex- army officer, says: When Major George
Stearns, of Boston, was ant by the Govern
or to Nashville, IN 1868, to raise and organ
ize colored troops, having become acqualn-
ted with Mr.. Williams, he took him along
to assist in raising recruits. Not meeting
his expectations, Williams was assigned to
my regiment (Thirteenth I. S. {. L. as
sergeant major, from which position he was
reduced to the ranks within two months,
for incompctency and disobedience OF or
ders." From that time forward the guard
house report will give his principal record.
He was court martialed three times, and
sentenced to hard labor with ball and chain,
and loss of pay" was sent to the guard
house dozens of times by his commanding
officers for insolence and disobedience; was
always taken sick when a march or fight
was anticipated was never in any but fist
fights, in which he was always at fault and
sure to get whipped was missing at the
battle of Nashville and the subsequent
campaign against Hood, in which his regi-
ment took prominent part, and was held
in contempt by the lowest private in the
regiment" We always thought it would
take very mean niger to be delegate
to copperhead convention, and we were
not mistaken.

UNREPENTANT-Since the New York
Convention, the rebels are as outspoken and
as violent as they were Just before the war.
They evidently look forward to anoher re-
bellion. The Charleston Mercury expresses
itself as follows:
Not one honest man South of Mason :
and Dlxon's line, is ashamed of the musket
he bore or the sword he drew in defense of
the Confederate flag. The man who saws that
ne Is ashamed of it, lies. Let every honest
man at the North be sure OF the fact, that
the man who says SO, wants to swindle mon
ey out OF somebody. He is a knave either
in the first or in the last step.
