Love and Reason.

1t is not an uncommon thing in this
age that many people are governed by
love alone in matters of conjugal ad-
dress, while many others are Influenced
by reason. Undoubtedly both love and
reason ought to have Joint Interest,"
mutual share in this important transac-
ton; for these are the fair handmaids
which accompany the few who are SO
fortunate as to be numbered among the
wise of the earth. The great mass of
people who have already entered. and
Others who may enter, into the state OF
matrimony, have to jog along the same
ordinary thoroughfare to one common
market; therefore, it is meet that such
should occasionally have presented be
fore their minds the comparative value
of these different partners, so they need
not traverse his uncertain road with but
a single guide.
Love looks only to the most immedi.
ate, center objects of his solicitude. He
Is an amorous, uear-sighted fellow, any
way, aud sometimes is pretty treaeher-
ous. Love often can not distinctly dis
cover objects two inches from Lis nose,
and yet he will depend altogether upon
his vision, and think he possesses most
wonderful penetration. Most frequently
he is not able to discern any defects, and
cons, quenlly concludes there are none.
Now, couple who love with reason
See how different. "Reason is TO Low,
what pair of spectacles is to near
sighted man"-so goes an old maxim
and correct comparison it is. 1t ena
bles the little fellow to look beyond the
fair face, the sunny ringlets, the brilliant
eye, the graceful form and features OF
his adored-beyond the festivities of the
wedding and the beauties OF the imagi-
natlon-=~to the domestic tireside, 10 the
kitchen comforts, to pudding, and the
cash accounts.
That's what reason conjoined with love
will do! 1t assists in the ways and
means of living, in providing for the
family, as well as in the very simple and
easily-acquired business OF loving.
"Marry the lass that has the cow
was the language of the wise matrol
who was urging her son between III,
choice OF two young ladies, ono of whom
had COW and the other q looking.glass
The idea that should be inferred by this
trite saying is, that she whose economy
obtains property by her prudence and
industry, will be best able to manage the
domestic affairs of a family. AS a gen.
eral thing such young women unite and
possess goodness of disposition, even
ness OF temper, and strong attachment
to domestic simplicity.
But of the many evils of tho present
day, one OF the greatest is marrying fol-
money only. Do not, young man, marry
alono for money, There is neither love
nor reason in that. Avarice can no,
succeed in acquiring riches in this way
without receiving due punishment toi
its folly. Happiness can not be bought
with gold; and every person must he

Two Ways to Live.
by CHARLES SWAIN.

There are two ways TO live on earth
Two ways TO judge, to act, TO view .
For all things here have double birth
right and wrong--a false and true !
Give me the home where kindness seeks
To make that sweet which seemeth small
Where every lip In fondness speaks,
And every mind hath care for all.
Whose inmates living in glad exchange
or pleasure free from vain expense
Whose tho'ts beyond their means necr range
Nor wise denials give offensel
Who in n neghbor's fortune find
No wish, no impulse to complain I;
Who feel not--ncver fclt-thc mind
TO envy yet another's gain
Who dream not of. the mocking tide
Ambitions foiled endcavor meets
The bitter pangs Of wounded pride,
Nor fallen power, that shuns the streets.
Though fate deny its glttering store,
Loves wealth is still the wealth to choose
For all that gold can purchase more
Are gauds, It Is no loss to lose
Some beings, whercso'er they go,
Find naught TO please or TO cxalt-
Their constant study but 10 show
Perpetual modes of finding fault.
While others, in the ceaselcss round
OF daily wants and daily care
Can yet Gull flowers from common ground
And ttcice enjoy the 10y they share
oh happy they who happy make
Who, blessing, still themselves are blcst
Who something spare for others sake,
And strive, In all things, for the best

ALLEGED BURYING OF LIVING PERsoEs-
Don Piatt, of the Cincinnati Commercial, tries
to explain those causes in which there seems
to have been u return to life after burial.
Speaking of the recent melancholy case in
New Orleans, he says:
The corpse had been incascd in an iron
casket made air-tight The consequence is,
that the gases generated by the decaying body
prSduCed the most frighttul disfiguration, and
shivcred the glass over the face. 1 know all
about this, for l had a case come under my
Immediate observation-the death of a friend
in the country, caused by an accident so sud-
den and unexpected that few of the friends
and relatives could be called to the funeral
within the ordinary time incident to such an
occasion. An iron coffin was procured, the
body placed in it, and the liz scaled and
screwed down in the usual manner, with a
thick glass plate over the head. To those who
watched the loved face, through tears, there
soon appeared a singular change. The veins
OF the forehead began TO swell, and soon the
eyes partly opened aud the lips fell apart, Civ
ing to the face Mortified expression, painful
to look upon. These changes continued until
the dead seemed to be striving to breathe and
speak, and strange noises were heard inside
Women shriekod and tainted, and cloth was
thrown over the glass, and persons were for
bid l0okisg In. During this night of the sec,
ond day, II remember correctly, an explosion
occurred, accompanied by the sound of broken
glass, and il was found that the plate over the
face was slivered and the room filled with thc
most sickening stencil, The body was horrible
to look at, and it would have REQUIRED nc
active stretch of imagination to believe tha
life had returned and struggle eHsued.

Do your Best.
BY REV. A. A. L. TAYLOR.

Whenever work YOU have to do,
Yield not to sluggish rest
No matter though success seem sure,
The work best wrought will best endure
To make all thoroughly secure,
Always do your best!
Whatever work you have TO do,
Go forth with eager Zcst;
Plain duty may not pleasant be;
Smooth paths to right men seldom see
Always do your best
Whenever work you have to do,
Put courage TO the test;
Though foe outnumber friend by far,
Though singly you go forth to war,
Though Doubt eclipse Hopes morning star
Always do your best!
Whenever work you have to do,
Each hindcring thought dctest
No man can fill anoiller's place;
One for himself must duty face
Be true. and, trusting to Gods grace,
Always do your best
Whatever work you have to do,
Make not the task Jest;
True deeds are worth the doing well,
More solemn each than Time can tell,
For soon will toll Life's funeral bell
Always do your best

AN INTERESTING INCIDENTAL very pleas
ant incident which occurred in Washington
this week, says the Philadelphia Bulletin, seems
TO have escaped the notice OF the correspond
ents: ~
Mr.. James e. Murdoch gave one Of his pop.
ular entertainments of defamation at Met
zcrott Hall, On last Monday evening, at which
Mr.. and Mrs. Schuyler Col.aX were present.
just before the entertainment commenced Mr.
COlfax left his scat, and meeting Mr. Murdoch
in the ante-room, accompanied him upon the
stage where he presented him TO The audience
in brief speech, which was marked by all
the felicity of expression so characteristic of
our new Vice President This graceful and
unexpected compliment to the distinguished
elocutonist was received by the crowded house
with "A storm of hearty applause. But this
was not the only incident OF the evening Mr..
Murdoch rccitcd Reads famous poem, "Sheri-
dams Ride" and prciaccd it with the remark
that he had specially desired 10 give this poem
as the author had written it. because he per-
Geived that in one of the popular schoul-bOoka
recently introduced, the text had been tam
pered with, and, where Mr.. Read had written
the true word, TRAITORS" the word "foemen"
had been interpolated, he wished to stand by
the truth, as Buchanan Read had written ii.
A witness of the scene which followed this
patriotic outburst says that the audience which
consisted largely OF officers and soldiers, broke
out with such a demonstration of enthusiastic
appreciation of the sentiment as has rarely
been exhibited by any assemblagc in Wash
ington. Mr.. Murdoch had touched chord
which still vibratcs quickly in every true pa
triots heart, and the response was full, genuine
and not to be mistaken. The incident sug-
gests good lesson TO those who are so fond of
preaching the milk-and-water doctrine that
the rebellion and its issues ought to be obliter-
atcd from the minds and the hearts OF the
people.

AccoRDING to correspondent of the
Country Gentleman, the chief cause OF
trouble in winter eharning is, that cream
raised in cold weather must be warmer
when it is churned than cream raised IN
warm weather. While SIXTY TO sixty
two degrees is about the right tempera-
turc for summer, for churning in winter
it must be as high AS sixty-seven. Stir
the cream and warm it till you get it TO
that pitch, aud your butter will come in
a few minutes, and be solid and good
and of good flavor, while if you attempt
to churn it at sixty-three degrees it will
froth aud foam and swell up, and il you
succeed in getting butter at NIL, II will
be white, frothy, bitter. The cream from
cid cows treated in this way will make
butter as quick as cream from young
cows.
