How MUCH MARIN. - We clip
the following from an exchange.
We advise nightly visitors Of dry
goods clerks to beware:
"a clerk in a dry goods store
retired one night, having for his
bed-fellow, al acquaintance dating
back to school days. Our infor-
mant slept in the next room ad-
joining, the door Of which was
partly open. In the middle of the
night he says be was awakened
from sleep by hearing the clerk,
in a loud voice exclain, "How
many yards did you say you
wanted, marm 2 Three enough?"
and the next thing heard tearing
noise,- and the bed-fellow Of the
clerk shouted out, What are you
doing ?-you have torn my shirt
from top to bottom" The poor
dreamer immagined himself in his
store waiting on lady custom
mer, who wanted three yards Of
calico. The shout of merriment
which the event created can we'll
be imagined"

Lovers Quarrels.

One who seems to have had
much experience in the matter,
dlscourses of "Lovers' Quarrels"
as follows: .... .-.
"a regular lovers quarrel fol-
lows, as a matter OF course, which
ruus through all the natural and
orthox phases. Simon is pretty
sure to get the worst Oft for
man generally fights at disad-
vantage in such matters. He can
not, or at least he will not "tell
his mamma" nor any masculine
friend, but the girl always tells
some feminine conidant, and 50
has a sympathising friend and
shrewd ally to assist her in the
silent battle ofahfectcd indifference,
which is the line or which such
consests are usually fought ont.
In fact, girl sometimes rallies all
the young ladies of her acquain-
tance to fight and the poor lover
(who dared not make a confdant
of any Of his chums for fear he
might prove treacherous and seize
the opportunity afforded by the
estrangement TO carry of the girl
himsel), ,,s compelled to go it alone
against the field and, like crow
beset by flock of robins, is com.
PEELED to ignominious fight; ;
whence, unlike the crow, he some
times returns, surrenders to fate
ahd his sweetheart, counting on
future chances for revenge !; or
else he breaks of the engagement
altogether, and seek fresh fields
Of pastures new And this is q
fair sample of the origin and end
of lovers quarrels. ~ ,.saa~s1c
"The forms and causes of jeal-
ousy and estrangemcnt are legion.
A look, a word, or the omission of
look or word ; a smile vouchsafed
to an acqnaintanees the casual ex-
change fsalutations with a friend;
the accidental walk home from
church with a rival ; the forgetting
of an appointment; the failure to
send an instantaneous answer to
a letter; the disapproval of a
sweetheart's new bonnet, and my.
riad other trifes and nonsen.
sicalities lie in wait for lovers,
and have the power to bring them
to corroding grief" 49,. ,....-..... -. a.,

Of self loving lovers, exclaim: |

Dissentions betwixt hearts that love"

Harper's Bazaar gives the follow
ing sensible reply to correspon-
dent: Your husbands salary of
$1,000 year, upon which he, you
and two children are obliged to
live, seems small sum, from
rich mans point Of view, but "a
very considerable amount in the
eyes Of the'poor, who are the great
majority of mankind. Most fami-
lies in the United States live COM
fortably upon less. and more might
do so were it not for the undue
proportion of their income spent
to keep up appearances We are
generally too anxious to pass for
being richer than we are, and
therefore sacrifice much Of our
substance to show. Wien con-
scious that we are laboring truly
to get our own living, and to do
our duty in that State of life in
which it hath pleased God to call
us, however small may be the re-
suit according to this worlds COM
putation in dollars and cents, We
have no reason to be ashamed Of
it. There is: however, false
shame, which often induces an ex-
penditure for worthless tinsel in
order to give specious glitter to
a moderate competence, which
thus becomes scanty, while, more
judiciously used, it might prove
abundant. Continue your cour-
ageous struggle with life, but do
not waste your resources upon any
false bravery of conduct or appa-
rel"

exertions of the immigration Society.
From the last Issue of the Ncwberry

grants more have arrived in that town
and enne to work on farms in the

expected in tie course of the present

Fashionable Religion.


Fanny Fern makes the follow
ing sharp thrust at fashionable re-
ligion.
Our Catholic brethren have set
us, at least, one good example !;
their churches are not silent as
the tomb on weekdays. Their
worshippers do not do up all their
religion on Sunday. 1t may be
only for few moments they stop
in through that open church door,
on a weekday, to kneel and lay
down burdens too heavy else to be
borne. like the custom. Should
rather say the reminder, and the
opportunity thus afforded them,
and | heartily wish that our pro-
testant churches could thus be
opened. If rich Christians object
to the promiscuous use of their
velvet cushions and gilded prayer
books, at least let the aisles and
the altar be free to those who
need God on the week day; for
the poor, the tried: the tempted
for those who shrink, in their
shabby habiliments, from the Sum-
day exhibition Of fine toilettes,
and superfne Christianity. Were
I a minister, and obliged to preach
to paniers and diamonds and satins,
on Sunday, I think I should have
to ease my heart in some such
way as this to make my pastoral
life endurable, else my Office would
seem to me the most hollow Of all
mockeries. :'The rich and the
poor meet together, and the Lord
is the maker of them all," should
be inscribed outside my church
door, had I one. I could not
preach to those paniers and their
owners. My tongue would be
paralyzed at the sight of those
kneeling distortions Of woman
hood, bearing such.a resemblance
to o,gan-grinders' monkeys:>-sfI
am not sure that I should not
grow hysterical over it, and laugh
and cry at the same breath, in
stead Of preaching. l can never
tell what vent my disgust would
take; but / am sure it must have
some escape-valve. You may say
that such worshippers (Heaven
save the mark y need preaching
to. I tell you that women given
over to ':the devil and his works"
are past praying for-"h having eyes,
they see not, having ears, they
hear not" They are ossi6ed-im-

stitutional rule, are known and
deplored by the nation. 1t is a
matter of pride and qualification,
in retiring from the most exalted
position in the gift Of q free peo-
pie, to feel and know that in

life, my actions have never been
Influenced by desire for gain, and
that I can, in all sincerity, inquire
whom have I defrauded, whom

responsibility for wars that have
been waged, or blood that has been
shed, rests upon me. Ny thoughts
have been those Of peace, and my
efforts have ever been to allay
contentious among my country

Unsexing Woman.

The National Mtelligencer has
an eloquent article on the detestable
agitation of the day about giving
the ballot to women:
"They can be considered nothing
but invaders Of domestic peace, in
citers to social disorder. vio-
lence and discord, who seek
to draw woman from her appointed
and supremely exalted sphere of
home, as the guardian angel of
the worlds inner lite, and plunge
her with herimmeasurably fine and
feminine sensibilities, in the coarse
and jarring throng Of masculine
public life. The times on which
we have fallen are all unhinged.
The same fanaticism which has
overthrown, or is overtbrowing,
81
the order and good government
Of the Stale, in its restlessness
under the wholesome restraints OF
everything conservative and set
tied, is striving also to overthrow
the order and good government of
the freside and as in the former
case the largerliberty ofman is plea
ded as the propelling motive, andin
justification, so in the latter case
the larger liberty Of woman is
pleaded, linked with a thousand
unnamed yet fancied benefits that
would accrue to her, and through
her to mankind. Any man with
a properly organized mind, ,and who
is capable ofcalm philosophical
reflection on the nature and pro-
vince of the two sexes, and how
they stand at the antipodes one Of
strength and the other Of tender
ness, cannot but condemn the ten
deney, as here indicated, of fam
aticaf and unbalanced natures
and every woman, endowed as
Heaven meant she should be, in
whose being beats a sense ofal-
most superhuman elevation, and
who feels, as she ought, that it is
her high and paramount prero-
gative to create the social realm,
and rule it by the power and the
purity Of the heart, must shrink:
with instructive and womanly
dread, at the bare thought of so
unsexing herself, and casting aside
all that makes her better than men,
as to enter the low public and
political arena Of men, and par
ticipate in its wranglcs, its low
ambitions, its corruptions, and its
debasing influences. She could not
but feel herself profaned. Once
there, she would feel herself an
outcast, and look back upon the
sweet dominion which she had
left, where she sat unsullied, lift
ed up and pure, as our first par
ents did when exiled. from the
Garden Of Eden for yielding to the
tempter, and never restored to
that peaceful Eden again"
