ABOUT EARLY MARRIAGEs.-transss
lin, it is well known, was in favor Of early
marriages. He thought that every man
IL good health, and capable of working
with his hands, should marry at the age OF
twenty-one. Numerous social philoso-
piers have takea a similar view, while
some have seen fit to adopt different
notion. Henry Ward Beecher, IN his late
Thanksgiving sermon, speaks IN favor OF
early marriages, as Will be seen By the
following paragraph:
Early marriages arc permanent morali-
ties, and yet, every year it is becoming
more difficult for young men to enter that
state which is the best guard over their
virtue. The fault is in public opinions
which admits person into what is called
society, or thrusts him out, according to
his external circumstances aud pecuniary
condition. Society is bad when two caa-
not live cheaper than one, and young Iasn
are under bad influences when they ars
kept out of matrimony for years from
prudential reasons Alas for the wife
who was not first sweetheart. Prudence
Is good, but is there no prudence in genu-
inc love? Woe be to the society that puts
off afiancing till after the period of re-
mancing. The girl infected with this
public spirit waits for one to WOO her who
can put her in the same position she oc'
cupiel when she left her parents house.
She wants her husband in the beginning
to have as much as her father had at the
end, instead of going with her husband
to the beginning, and working their way
up together loving and loved. All wed d.
lock is adulterous that is not inspired iron.
the heart. Blessed be the girl whose
luxurious rearing has only the better lifted
her for beginning life at the bottom.
And, above all, let newly married people
beware of the Sodom and Gomorrah-ths
boarding g-hotse. This is no place to rear
family and establish household like
that our fathers had. A log, cabin is bss-
ter for family than the Fifth avenus
Hotel, though they got the whole estab-
lishment for nothing

AN On. Welt UIsPUTE.-An ex-
change tells the following story Of the
coil Fever" 1t says;
In 1864, when the ''Noble Well" was
being sunk, at the mouth of Bull Run,
on Oil creek, the "Colwe!l WelP'-then
flowing 800 barrels per day-was located
Of an acre adjoining the "Noble" lease,
The owners of the "CQl~ell," Messrs.
Ewing, Shriye & Co; offered the owners
of the "Noblt" $4,000 for their well
before it was tested, bts the money was
refused. When the "Noble was com
pleted it flowed 1000 per day. but 10 !!
the "Colwelp' suddenly ceased. 1t had
been tapped by his rival, and never pro
duced another barrel of oil. The own
ers of the Colwell then proposed that the
owners of the Noble we'll should pur-
chase their non producing we'll at the en-
ormous price of 100000, under penalty
of having the tubing drawn from the
Colwell well, which would burst the seed
bag, and inevitably "drown out" the
Noble we'll with water. But Noble and
his partners refused to comply with the
demand offering, however, to pay $780,,
@ 0. The owners of the Colwell contamp-
taously rejected the proposal, but pro-
ceeded with gang of men to execute
le;r threats, and had already begun to
strain upon the ropes in the work of pull
ing the tubing, when Noble called upon
them to stop. \ conference was had,
and compromise was finally effected, by
Noble paying Ewing, Shrive & Co. Sl55,-
900 cash for the CotTell well, and the
acre on which it wss located. The Noble
we'll continued its splendid flow until it
had earned for its owners the princely
sum of S5,000.000 Oil that season was
worth from SO to $12 per barrel.

CHRISTMAS "TURKEY SHOOT.

CHRISTMAS TURKEY SHOOT"
We have Christmas shooting matches,
too. These shooting-matehes are reduced
to science here. It is not matter Of
speculation, but pleasure, except with the
man who advertises the match and he
devises every possible means to beat the
marksman. He purchases the turkeys
about four weeks before the appointed day,
and puts them with bunch of corn husks,
into close box. What chemicals be
uses, or what he does to them, | cannot
say but one thing he don't do--he never
feeds them mouthful of anything AS
soon as they begin to stuf themselves,
like the prodigal son, with the husls,
they are ready for the match" These
turkeys, when properly prepared, are
nothing but bunch of feathers and bones
and husks. It is rule at the shooting
that you must 'draw blood" before you
can claim the turkey Tie turkeys are
set up at the distance of thirty rods, to be
shot at 'of- hand" You rtay shoot one
through and through, and he will not stir
or give down a drop of blood you may
find little blue water on the turkey stand,
but you can't draw blood on any of them
we know this is so for we tried it
dozen times. After the turkey is well
paid for at ten cents a shot, tie man who
wastes the most bullets gets him. OF
course the marksmen never sell what they
win at shooting match, but they distri
butte them, as the sportsmen of Portage
do fish and prairie chickens, amongst
their neighbors, and they always send one
to each of the residing ministers. Minis
ters are well cared for here {? and turkey
is always cheap after shooting match.
You can buy large turkey for seven
cents, at the rate of ten cents per pound.

Audubon and ROtIischild.

In 1884, being in London, Audubon
called on Baron Rothschild with proper
letters of Introduction, hoping to secure
his subscription to the Ornithology. He
writes
Soon corpulent man appeared, hitch
ing up his trousers, and face red with
the exertion of walking, and without no.
ticing any one present, dropped his fat,
comfortable body into chair, as if caring
for no one else in this wide world but him
SELF While the Baron sat, we stood, with
our hats held respectfully in our hands
| stepped forward and with bow pre-
sented him my credentials The banker
opened the letter, read it with the manner
of one who was looking only at the tenn
poral side of things, and, after reading it,
said: This is only g letter of introdutioD,
and expect, from its contents, that you
are the publisher of some book or other,
and needing subscription Had a man
the size Of mountain spoken to me in
that arrogant style in America, should
have Indignantly resented it; bat where 7
then was, it seemed best to swallow and
digest it as well as I could So, in reply
to the offensive arrogance of this banker,
l said l should be honored by his subscrip-
ton to the Birds of America Sir he
said, I never sign my name to any sub
scrIptlon list; but you may send me your
work, and I viii pay for copy of it.
Gentlemen, I am busy, and I wish you
good morning. We were busy men, too,
and so bowling respectfully we retired,
pretty we'll satisfied with the small slice of
his opulence which our labor was likely
to obtain" .-.I
The point of this interview was in its
result. Several numbers of the "Birds of
America" were sent to the Baron by Au-
dubon, and after eight or ten months a
bill for el00 was presented.
The Baron" writes Audubon, looked
at it with amazement and cried out, What,
a e100 for birds Why, sir, will give
you e5 and not farthing more" and
since the naturalist did not regard that
amount of the Baron's money as worth a
e100 from any one else, he was compelled
to take back the numbers delivered.
