Marry Young.

That all people should marry none
will deny. Then, when should people
marry?
We emphatically say that mar
riagc is habit that should be con-
tracted in an early stage of life.
There is kind Of vigorous bosh
that old fogies spin out to the effect
that no man should marry until he is
twenty-five. Translating their adj
vice, it is this--no man should marry
until he has acquired habits of idle
ness and dissipat;on-until he has
wrecked his frame by riotous and reck-
less living until he has frittered his
affections away in the cOQuetries and
fiirtations of society-until he has
spent all his money i'm wasteful ex-
travagance-until his ideas and opin-
ions are so firmly fixed that he cannot
conform them to those of the woman
he marries-in short, he should not
marry ntil he has wasted the May
time of his life, and wants q house
keeper and sewing machine.
We say marry as soon as you can
find a good and honest girl that will
love you-if you are poor, don't fear
you will spend as little married as
you will single-if you are ambitious,
still we say marry-it will calm, mod
crate and give good tone to your am
bition. If you are moody, marry
it will cheer you up. 1t you are friv-
olous, marry-it will ehasten you
down. If you are dissipated, marry
for home pleasures will keep you
from the saloons. If you are not dis
sipated, marry-for it will increase
your happiness tenfold.
Marry while yon are young, and
give your wife the benefit of the sun
ny and strong love of youth-givc her
the worship, and lavish love of the
spring-time of life, so that she will
have its sunny memory to cheer the
winter that must come. Marry
young, that the opinions and prelude
ces you must form may not conflict
with those your wife must form.
Marry while your nature is plastic
with impulse, and can be moulded as
she wants it. We hope the young men
who read this will think over the
matter and act upon the conclusion
they must come to.
We have addressed our remarks to
young men because we have heard
somehow that young ladies will marry
anyhow the first reasonable Opnortu-

(Fum &hs Rarhmond Dispatch.)
Persons arriving here by the Dam
VILE Railroad Saturday report hav-
ing as . fellow-passenger. . colcred
man, who seemed to be employed TO
encourage negro emigration south
ward. + At every station he addressed
the crowd of negroes assembled to
meet the train, setting forth the glo-
ries ofthe sunny South, and represent
ing it to be . land of milk and honey,
corn-brcad and molasses, little work
and big pay-this land where the good
darkies CO." He succeeded in Arr0us-
ing no little enthusiasm among his
auditors, even though bis speeches had
TO be short. Giving notice that he
would be. along the same route and
speak again on Tuesday, he will doubt
less have more to hear him OH that
day. ~ 81 uts
The southside farmers fears q dire
full result, unless the tide of emigration
can be stemmed. Though less has
been said about it in the papers for the
last week or two, tlIe exodus continues
and the number Of emigrants daily in
creases. From Pit:sylyania county we
are informed that there are semi
weekly shipments, and the colonies
average perhaps two hundred persons,
large portion of whom are able bod
led men or hearty women. Mecklen-
berg, Charlotte, Halifax, Franklin
Prince Edwards and Lunenburg have
all been more or less depleted, and
some farmers report that all their
hands have deserted The worst of it
is that a furore has taken possession of
the tlacks, and emigration is becom-
ing almost as popular as leaving the
old place was just after the war. !.

Good Coffee.

A lover of good coffee sends to the
Hearth and Home the following di-
rections for making good article
"Have your pot made with an elOnga-
ted bottom, so as TO fit into the tea
kettle, and extend to within an inch
of the bottom of the latter, but not
touch it, Now prepare your coffee
i'm the usual manner, sec that the ket-
tie is boiling briskly, then turn into
the coffee a sufficient quantity OF boil
ing water, and set the coffee-pOt into
the tca-kettlc, and keep the kettle
boiling briskly for fifteen or twenty
minutes, or - much longer as you
please, for any length of time will
hardly impair the quality, for the cof-
fec will not boil. Faithfully follow
these plain directioDs-that is, let the
water be boiling when poured'on the
coffee, and keep the kettle boiling af-
terward and defy your Biddy, or
anybody's Biddy, to make poor coffee.
| have now tried this method for six
months, with unvarying success. 1t
is virtually the French method, with
out its great expense. So perfectly
is the aroma preserved, that one can
scarcely perceive the Odor when cook
ing. Still more, if you are such de-
vctee of the fragrant berry as to de-
sire TO bow before the altar at noon,
you have only to set your kettle and
pot on the back of the stove, and after
dinner partake of the same cheering
cup, with but little, if any, deteriora-
ton.

The Alpine Hern.

The Alpian horn is an instrument
made of the bark of a :cherry tree, and,
like a speaking-trumpet, is used TO
convey sounds to a great distance.
l have heard, when the last rays of the
sun gid the summit of the Alps. the
shepherd who inhabits the highest
peak of these mountains take his horn
and cry with a loud voice, Praiscd
be the Lord!" as soon as the neigh
boring shepherds hear him they leave
their huts and repeat these words
The echoes of the mountain and grot-
toes of the rocks repeat the name of
God. Imagination cannot picture any
thing more sOlem or sublime than such
a scene.
During the silence that succeeds the
shepherds bend their knees and pray
i'm the open air, then repair to their
huts to rest. hesunlight gliding the
tops of the stupcndous mountains up
on which the vault of heaven seems to
rest, the magnificent scenery around
and the voice of the shepherd sound
ing from rock to rock the praises of
the Almighty, fill the mind of every

origin Of the Pew System.

One hundred aud seventy years ago
am elegant parish church at Athens,
England, was,as all houses Of worship
had been, entirely open and available
to all worshipers; but it entered the
mind of an elderly lady that she would
prefer to Know where to sit. 1t was
unpleasant to think any body should
be placed reside her. She according
ly begged to be allowed to put up a
piece of board to screen herself of
from the rest of the world. No SOON
or did this appear, than another wall
ted partition to enable her to enjoy
as her own particular spot. Then
am old gentleman thought he would
like 10 have some accommodation re-
served for him. This closing in of
the church for private purposes gave
its interior such an irregular and
patchy appearance, that it was prcsen-
fly resolved to pew the whole build
ing, which was accordingly done, a
large share of the expenses being de-
frayed by a family well known in the
neighborhood. And SO this pew sys-
tenn has grown and grown and grown
on, until it has become ingraincd in
English church life.

The frequent use of "oils,p fbears
grease" arctusine," pomades,"
rosemary Washes" etc, ETC, upon the
hair, is practice not toIbe coInmend-
ed. All Of these oils and greasy POM
AIDES are manufactured from lard oil
and simple lard. No abears grease"
is ever used. fit covld be procured
readily, it should not be applied to
to the hair, as it is the most rank and
filthy Of all animal fats. There are
many persons whose hair is naturally
very dry and crisp, and in most fami-
lies there is a wani of some innocent
and agreeable wa Ii or dressing which
may be used moderately and judi
ci0usly. The mixture which may be
regarded as the most agreeable, clean
ly and safe, is composed of cologne
spirit and pure castor oil. The fol-
lowing is good formula: Pure fresh
cas-, or oil, 2 or; cologne spirit, Cos
per cent? 16 or. The oil is freely
dissolved in the spirit, and the solu-
ton is clear and beautiful. 1t may
be perfumed in any way to suit the
fancy of the purchaser. The oil OF
the castor bean for many years has
been employed to dress the hair, both
among the savage and civilized ma
lions, and it possesses properties
which admirably adapt it to this use.
1t does not rapidly dry, and no gum
my, offensive residum remains after
taking OH the chemical changes which
occur i'm all oils upon exposure to
light and air. 1t is best diffused by
the agency of strong spirit, in which
it dissolves. The alcohol or spirit
rapidl; eyaporates, and does. not i'll
the slightest degree injure the texture
Of the hair. This preparation, for
dressing the hair of children or ladies,
will meet nearly or quite all require
ments.
A cheap and very good dressing is
made by dissolving four ounces of
perfectly pure, dense glycerinc in
twelve ounces of rose water. Glyce-
rine evapora.es only at high tempera-
lures, and therefore under its infiu-
ence the hair is contained in a moist
condition for long time. As a class
the vegetable oils arc better for the
hair than animal oils. They do not
become rancid and offensive so rapid
ly, and they are subject to different
and less Objectionable chemical
changes. Olive oil and that derived
from the cocoanut have been largely
employed, but they are inferior in
every respect to that from the castor
bean.-BostOn Journal Of Chemistry.
