Lucky Marriages.

The late Joseph Hume went to
India, while he was still young
man, accumulated a considerable
fortune. lie saw that hardly any
about him knew the native LAM
guages, so he applied himself to
the hard work of mastering them,
and turned the knowledge to most
profitable account. On one oc-
casion, when all the gunpower
had failed the British army, he
succeeded in scraping together a
large amount of the necessary
materials, and manufactured it for
the troops. When he returned to
England be canvassed with so
much ability and earnestness for
seat in the East India Directorate
that he might carry out his scheme
of reform, that though he failed to
get the vote Of a certain large
proprietor of stock, he won his
daughters heart, and made pros.
porous marriage. All! marriage
is, after all, the luckiest bit ofluck
when it is all it should be. When
Henry Barring (the late Lord ASH
burton) travelled in America (not
merely dilsttante travelling but like
Lord Milton in our days, piercing
into untraveId .wilds, meeting only
a stray enthusiastic naturalist like
AuduLon) he made his marriage
with Miss Bingham, and so con-
solidatd the American business OF
the great house OF Barring. In an
international point Of view this
was a happy marriage for
in after years it gave him a
peculiar facility for concluding the
great Ashburton treaty. We have
just seen with universal satisfaction
. greatIady added TO thepeerage
Of great Britain. Mr.. Disraeli
dedicated one Of ofhis works to
the 'sererest Of critics, buu,a per-
feet wife, and at the Edinburg
banquet he told the guests how
much he owed to his matchless
wife. It is no secret how much
OF his fortunes he owed to her
help, and how greatly he benefited
by her sympathy anu wisdom.
The husband whom she so helped
in his youthful struggles for fortune
has in return made her peereSs,
and we all wish happinessandlong
life to the Viscountess Beaconstield.
So lucky has Mr.. Disraeli been his
wife, that is hardly worth while
alluding to the minor and surbor,
dinate circumstance that All old
lady, a stranger, some years ago
lett him a legacy Of thirty or forty
thousand pounds, through admir-
alton OF hispublic character.

Too Many Beaux.
BEWARE OF TIE bellies WITH An
MIRERs MANY. ,

A lady contributor to g. New
York literary paper gets OF the
following sensible and truthful re-
marks: >* ~.
If by the term "prospects,a "a as
applied to young lady, you mean
the probabilities Of her gettinga
husband, then she whose admir-
ers may be called legion has inf
nitely poorer prospects than one
whose friends Of the opposite sex
may I've counted on the fingers of
u single hand. .,-. ~
Now, it is true that everybody
patronizes the church and store
that everybodyelse supports, forit
isthe easiest and most natural, thing
in the world to "follow the
crowd" But this is not to say
that q young man wants for q
wife the girl who counts her
bcaux by the score and her con-
quests by the dozen.
1t is true thatzevery chicken in
q brood will leave a good dinner,
and all 90 in pursuit of thesame
object it they see one of75their
number. running away with .
large-sized !crumb, or after an inn
aginary angle-worm. But it. xis
not true that a young man will
forsake the modest, gentle girl,
whose society. he can enjoy with.
out rivalry, to complete with .
score Of others for the company
of a young lady whose smiles are
free to all. ,,..".. ..'-.:...s~r
There is, indeed, a class Of men
who pay =assiduous court to the
latter. She generally possesses
many attractions-this pet Of So
ciety. She has fine instrument
and plays tolerably. Possibly she
sings. Invariably she dances.
She is always surrounded by the
gayest Of the gay. and in conse-
queuee of all these advantages,
whether She be pretty or plain,
her parlQr is a very agreeable
place in which TO spend an eYvH.
ing; or, as ouryoung men reWont
to say, ':.it is extremely pleasant
| to submit ones self occasionally
to he handsomely entertained but
unless strongly inclined to firt,
would not upon any account have
it supposed that he was looking
in that direction for a wife-by no
means" IT,. ....,. .
Thus these gallants are wont to
speak. And as rule, they are not
marrying men. But when one Of
them would take to himself q
wife, he goes East, or West, or
North, or South--anywhere to
find a girl unspoiled by society
one who has not in his presence
played the agreeable to a score Of
others, and whom he strongly
suspects any one of them could
have had her for the asking.
The worst thing for q glrl--unless
she wants to live and die an old
maid, though she might do worse
is to have too many beaux. She
may be pretty, stylish, accom-
plished, graceful anything you
please, it matters little. The very
fact that she has been the recipi-
ent Of attentions from more men
than she would need to know in
the course Of a lifetime, places her
on the level with worn-out boot
desirable only to those who
cannot get better. ....
If girls would but take the adj
vice Of their own sex as gracious
ly as they take the caresses Of the
other, some, ut least, wonld cut
loose few of their worthless &C.
quaintances, and, in future, guard
Themselves against the attentions
Of ton many heaux.

Cultivate Your Apple Trees.

A correspondent in Montgomery coun-
ty, Pa, informs us that he can succeed
with his apple orchard in obtaining crop
as well as any other field product upon his
farm. He commences his orchard by Sc
lecting his trees himself in the nursery.
as farmer selects his seed before sowing;
helps to take them up, as a farmer pro-
cures his seed hauls them home late in
the afternoon or evening; put them in
where they are to be planted until next
day have the ground prepared before
hand and the holes dug; removes and sets
the trees as he needs them in the most
careful manner, applying two buckets of
water to each tree-One when the hole is
half filled up, the other when entirely fl
led leaving the ground around the tree
bowl-like. Stakes firmly mulches; water
occasionally; keep all cattle and hogs out:
and when the trees are few wears plan
ted, twice year, spring and fall, scrapes
the trunk, scrubs it severely with cow
urine gathered in a tank from the stable.
using about half bucket to each tree.
and gives them a thorough examination
to ferret out any worms, &c. He SAYS it
is not nearly as much labor as any other
crop on the farm, while it is Just as sure
and more profitable.
