A BEAUTIFUL ORNAMENT.-We would
not advise hasty marriages. AS it is one
of the most important transactions of life.
so should it be we'll considered. But hav-
ing looked the ground all over, and being
certain that you are Tin earnest" that
you love the girl, and that she loves-not
your money, but yourself-the next thing
is to find some one to tie the knot Any
good man, who is authorized by law, can
do this for you. And when it is done, take
our advice and get one oft photograph
ic Marriage Certificates" which the pastor
of the Primitive Methodist Church in this
place keeps supply Of and will cheerfully
show you at any time. He is good
natured, great-hearted old man, who will
start you on your welded way rejoicing
The certificates (Which have place Tor
the photographs of the bride, bridegroom,
and officiating clergyman,) are printed in
colors from an elegant design; and, while
forming beautiful ornament to any room,
will serve constantly to remind you of the
time when the word CARRIED" was
wreathed like sacred archway over
the joy of you and yours.
EMBLEM OF SPRING.-A fair young lady
of Dodgevile, has sent us bunch of-we
do not know their botanical name, but lit
tie people call them "pussies," white will
low buds, or "quaking-ash," if you please.
They are not fragrant nor beautiful, and
yet are touching and grateful. Do you
ask why? just such ones grew and bios
somed into the fullness of perfect leaves,
by the side of certain pebbly-bottomed
brook, one of the complaining sort that
"make the meadows green" by which we
often wandered, and IN which there were
funny coves and great holes, into whose
mysterious depths we were wont to look
with blended awe and wonder. And there
was
IA shaded nook by the running brook.
The place where the boys used to swimn
What health giving properties that water
contained. Superior, we believe, to the
mineral springs Of Saratoga or any of the
famous watering places. What bright
eyes theboys had and what rosy cheeks.
Beautiful or homeIy, the bunch of "pus-
sizes" carries us back to our far-away child
hood and the bright sunshine Of the days
that are gone.

administration OF justice In Egypt which pHraiyzes
the resources Of the country and obstructs

yesterday by the rendition OF verdict OF mot

be aroused when the confessed perpetrator
known In this region was placed In the dock to be
tired for his life. The killing OF the men Erlarcner

many and such terrible wounds, that the public
were Mortified, and the popular verdict long ago
