ABOUT MARRYING TOO YOUNG.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton says: "Girls don't
reach their maturity until twenty-five, yet
at sixteen they are wives and mothers all
over the land, robbed of all the rights and
freedom # childhood in marriage, crippled
in growth and Development; the vital forces
needed to build up u vigorous and healthy
womanhood are sapped and perverted from
their legitimate channels in the premature
Office of production. When the body is
overtaxed the mind loses its tone and set
ties down in gloomy discomfort that en-
feobles the whole moral being. The Feeble
mother brings forth feeble sons, the sad
mother these with morbid appetites. The
constant demand of stimulants among men
is the result of the morbid conditions Of these
mothers. Healthy, happy, vigorous wo-
manhood would do more for the cause Of
temperance than any prohibitory Or license
laws possibly can. When woman, by the
observance of the laws of life and health, is
restored to her nominal condition, maternity
will not be a period Of weakness, but of ad-
ded power With that high preparation of
body and soul to which have referred. men
and women of sound m nd and body, drawn
together by the sentiments of affection,
might calculute with certainty on a happy
home, with happy children gathering round

Coon SENsE.-The great trouble among
American youth is the lack of application
and thoroaghness in what they undertake.
Anything that cannot be learned with super
fetal study, is given the go-ty for some
thing less tedious and irksome. Study and
hard labor are looked at from wrong stand
point and, as consequence, he clerkship
ranks are full OF unemployed and half starved
young men, and the professions are over
lowing with mediocrity, while good me-
chanics find plenty of work at living prices.
The evil spoken Of is felt seriously. Those
who work alta trade Go it in so loose and care
less manner that they are not competent
to do the work they promise to do. Among
the loudest disclaimers for the rights Of
labor are men and women who can claim no
rights that belong to labor well performed.

BRILLIANTs. -One Of the finest qualities
in human being is that nice sense Of dezica
ca ghich makes 1t impossible for him to
ever be an INTRUDER on a BORE.
1t is great blunder in the pursuit of
happiness not to know when we have got
it; that is, not to be con ent with reason
able measure of it,
Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds
than happiness ever can; and common suf
terings are far stronger links than common
joy.
Any work, whereby men and women
earn an honest livelihood, is neither to be
despised nor ridiculed, except by brainlcss
tops and silly bellies:
The mind is like the body in it's habits );
exercise can strengthen, as neglect and in-
dolence can weaken it; they are both im-
proved by discipline, both ruined by neg
lect
Men are frequently like tea-as the real
strength and goodness are not drawn out Of
them until they have heen short time in
hot water
Coleridgc said that he would screep to-
ward the light, even if the light had made
its way through rent in the wall of the
temple"
A white garment appears worse with
slight soiling than do colored garments
much soled-so little fault in good man
attracts more attention than great ofenses
in a bad man.

a Coaoresa MANS Opinion of Rad
ical Carasetrlsaemers

The following is an extract from the speech
OF Henry Boyd, colored man, delivered al
Carlton, Miss. He has been called the
''Black Demosthenes," and is evidently a
man of good hard sense:
And now the carpet baggers come here
and tell Us they are our friends and the
Southern people enemies. They tell us
they've set us free. 0, yes, they've done
it all, no doubt. They set us free about
like they set the mules free Ben Butler set
the spoons free. Immense laughter and
applause. I know who brought the mig
ger to this country in the first place. The
Northern man brought us here and when
they began to loose money on the Niger
they put niger in their pocket-sold him
down South; and then kept the South in the
Union to mako her pay taxes. They prom
ised the niger the forty acres and the
mule. know five niggers that starved
plum to death waiting for that mule and
forty acres. Laughter I'd like to know
where the carpet Dagger got his forty acres?
You all know the devil took the Lord up in
to high mountain, and promised if he
would fall down and serve him he'd give
him the whole world, and the old scoundrc
knew all the time that he didn't own foot
Of land on the continent Great laughter
The carpet baggers ask me to cast my vote
to keep the white folks down. Now, all
wanted to get on a level with the white man;
L never wanted to get the white man dowa,
and to get above him. They say that
Niger is better than white man in Cincin-
natl. Well, that may be true in Cincinnati,
but it amt true down here It is nv inter-
est to stand BY the Southern man, and it's
my wish too Whatever law is made to af-
feet the white mans plantation also affects
my cotton patch in the same way. They
want to disfranchise the white man, and
make niggers put carpet baggers into Office
that they may have taxes and things their
own way. They never would have passed d
law allowing niggers to vote if they hadn't
thought the niggers would vote aathe Repub-
llcan ticket. Never never never Who |
believes otherwise ? Net this niger, certain.
The Yankees brought the Niger here from
Atlica for selfish purposes, set him free for
selfish purposes, and now they want to vote
him for selfish purposes.

Poetry.
How Soon We Are Forgotten.

o, how soon we are forgotten,
When we rest beneath the sod
And our feet no longer wander
Ger the paths we oft have trod;
When the form that was so cherished
With love both pure and deep,
Lies within the earth's bosom, =
In its long, last, quiet sleep. /
For few brief days, it may be III
Had we home and kindred dear,
When they meet around the hearthstone,
There will be lack of cheer;
AS q vacant seat will tell them
OF affections broken ties;
And their thoughts perchance will wander
Where the dreamless sleeper lies.
But should q stern fate deprive us
Of a bright and cheerful home;
And in WEAKNESS of spirit,
Ger lifes rugged way we roam;
When the golden bowl is broken,
And the lone one finds rest;
Twill excite no dread commotion
In one palpitating breast.
Yet tits well that thus it should be, &
In life's brief revolving years,
Else this world of budding beauties
Would welcome vale of tears;
Where the soul attuned to sadness,
And by sorrows overcast,
Would enshroud the brightest future
With sad mem'ries of the past.
