BEEcHRR ON EARLY MARRIAGE. Although no one
aupposes that Henry Ward Beecher has any more idea
Of true religion than of simonpure negro, yet not
withstanding his defects in that regard there Is no
question but he is of superior and original turn
OF mind We most heartily endorse the views ex-
pressed in the following:
At no period perhaps, in their life do young men
need the inspiration of Vrtuous love and the sympathy
of companion in their self denying TOLL AS when
they first enter the battle fdk their support Early
marriages permanent moraities, aud deferred mar
riages are temptations to wickedness And yet every
wear it becomes more and more difficult, concurrent
with regning ideas of society," for young men to enter
upon that matrimonial state which the proper guard
of their virtue well their courage and enterprise
The battle of fe is almost at the beginning. There
it is that man needs wedock But wicked and
ridiculous public sentiment puts man who is in So
cety of society," for that matter, largely on the
ground of condition, and not of disposition and char
acter. The man that has meats wberewith he can
visiby live amply is in good society," as general rule
The man that las virtue and stern manness but has
nothing withal external show, is not usually consd
cred in good society. Ambitious young men will not
therefore marry until they meet their expenses
but this is deerrng for years and years the lndlspen
sable virtue. Society is bad where two cannot live
cheaper than one! and young men under bad fu.
ences Who when in the very morning of life and bet
with one who is their equal and mate, are debarred
from marrying through scores Of years, from mere
prudential considerations; and the heart and the life
are sacrificed the pocket They tempted to sub
sttute ambition for love- when at last, the ashes
and the expiring enbers of their early romance, they
select their wife. 1t is said that who wait till they
forty forty five years of age select prudenty.
Alas for the wife who not first sweetheart Pru
dence is good; but is prudence servant queen
Prudence is good but What is prudence? 1t is the
dry calculation of the head leagued with the pocket.
Is there prudence in taste, nor prudence in the in
SEPARATION Of generous love? Is there no prudence
in the faith by which, banded two young persons go
down into the struggle of life saying Come veal,
come woe, come storm, calm, love is match for
circumstances, and will be all to each other"
Woe be to that society in which the customs and the
manners of the times put off beyond the period of
nance and afiancing, the wedding. You have ad
iourned the most important secular act of mans life
You have adjourned it of Eden into the wilderness

The Chicago Tribune is responsible
for the following singular story about
the late Gen. RAwLINs
i" AT DoneIson he was, as in most of
the sub sequ mt engagements of the war.
Grants most active and efficient staff
officer. So conspicuous was he at this
time, and so quiet and retiring his chief,
that correspondent of Harper's Week
Ia, coming on tho ground took him for
Grant. and caught his daguerreotype and
made a very faithful sketch of him,
which was published as that of Gen. U.
S. Grant in Harper, and thence multi.
Piled throughout the country. 1t still
contends for the precedence with the
likeness of Grant himself, which, until
the third year of the war had hardly got
abroad. This likeness of Rawlin's,
witt: high round forehead, large, express
i've eyes, and long, black beard, covering
the breast, may still beseen exhibited as
that of u IS. Grant, in half the country
stores and bar.rooms in the land.

THE GOLDEN SIDE.

There is many rest in the road of life,
If we would only stop to take II Z;
And many tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would make II.
To the sunny soul that is full OF hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright,
Though the wintry storm preValietn.
Better to hope though the clouds hang low,
And keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through,
When the ominous clouds are rlited;
There was never a night without uay.
Or an evening without a mornings
And the darkest hours as the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawnlng
There is many gem in the path OF lie,
Which we pass to our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the 1eweied crown;
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
1t may be the love of little child,
Or mothers prayer TO heaven,
Or only a beggar's grateful thanks
For cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web OF life
A bright and a golden filling,
And to do Gods will with a ready heart,
And hands that swift and willing
Than to snap the delicate. minute threads
OF our curious lives asunder,
And then blame Heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit and grieve and wonder 3

word, I'll 60 anywhere for you, if it is
up the chimney"
"Under the lounge quick. 1t is wide
and will hide well. Quick, not moment
to lose"
The Squire obeyed, but the space was
so well filled that it was with difficulty
he could squeeze himself in so small a
compass. And just as he succeeded,
Mr.. Blake and his wife entered the room,
floundering along in the dark, for Peggy
had found it best to extinguish the light
Jake made for the fire which still glow
ed with Goals, stumbled over the cricket,
and fell headlong against Peggy, who
stood bolt upright, trying to collect her
scattered senses. Nj
"The deuce!" cried Jake, "look out
there old woman or you'll be down over
me. It's dark az the dickens here, and /
have fell over The rocking chair or the
churn, l cant tell which. Halo! what's
that!" reaching out his hand to feel his
situation, and coming in contact with the
bearded face of the Squire.
BY golly its got whiskers. Peg!
Peggy, where are you, and where is
Kate, and what is this?"
The Squire did not relish this assault
on his hisrute appendage, and series of
vigorous kicks, which hit Will Dartmouth
in the region of the stomach and stirred
his bile.
"Look here. old chapp exclaimed
Will, I'm perfectly willing to share my
quarters with you, SEEM we are both in
for it; but you had better not do that
again."
Heavensr' CALCULATED Peggy, what
voice is that?"
"Thats what l want to know" said
Jacob, struggling for an upright position.
" Halo, who's fell over my legs?"
g III tell you who's down and who's
up" said the voice of Mrs. B. and the old
lady scrambled up, only to go down over
a chair. "Jake, where are you? get up
this instant, or III shake the breath out
of you when l get to my feet again."
Jake started to obey, and just at this
moment Tige, the watch dog, who on
hearing the fuss managed to break loose
from his lair, rushed upon the scene and
set up bis most approved growl. rs e
The Squire had a mortal horror of
dogs, and neither fear nor love was
strong enough to keep him quoted down.
He sprung to his feet with yell, and
Will followed.
Kate, full of alarm for her lover, hop.
ped out of bed and appeared with
flaming lalow dip. Peg flung her arms
around the Squire with cry of terror,
and Jake was silent with amazement
Mrs. Blake was the only one possessed of
wits. She seized the corn pepper and
laid it about her with vigor. Her aim
was not always correct, and she conse
quentlv smashed the looking glass in a
thousand pieces, knocked the clock down,
and demolished the bowl and pitcher that
were quietly reposiug on the mantle piece.
The Squire broke from Peggy's en-
brace and dashed out of the window.
Will followed, and. Mrs. Blake would
have pursued him by the same outlet,
but she was a little too large to get
through with ease.
A dreaded counsel was held. Jake
stormed; Mrs. Blake threatened, and at
last Kate and Peggy confessed, and Jake
and his wife were so re;oiced at the pros
pect of getting ril of Peggy, that they
forgave their daughter and took Will
Dartmouth home at the end of the year.
In due time Peggy and the Squire
were made one.
