Marrying Blindfolded,

The facility with which numbers of
respectable women are duped into mat
rimony by raseally adventures is mar
velOus. An agreeable exterior, a knack
of small talk and a little dexterity in
the art Of tlatery, seems to be all that is
necessary to produce an unprincipled
scOundrel an unlimited number of
wives. The other day a man was ar-
rested for tigamy in q Western eity, at
the suit Of his sixth spouse and it was
stated that he had netted by his half
dozen connubial speculation the neat
little sum of twelve thousand dollars.
Of course, one feels sorry for the victims,
but if women Of respecability VIII wed
unknown vagabonds after so short ac-
quaintance, people of common prudence
cannot help mingling a little contempt
with their cOmmiseratiOn. In q mat
ter of such vital Importance to her hap
piness as marriage, a woman ought at
least 10 exercise as much Judgment and
discretion as in purchasing a dress pat-
tern; and yet had any one Of the six
wives referred to looked half as closely
into the antecedents of her suitOr as we
viii warrant she did into the quality
and style Of her wedding furbelOws, she
had been saved the modification Of
her anomalous position and the loss of
her cash. Beware, We impulsive maid-
ems and widows, Of larCenOus lovers
whose tender prOteStGtions are prompt
ed not by Cupid, but cupidity.-B BGlti-

An UuspOttod Character.

Money is a good thing, especially in
these hard times, but there is something
a thousand fold more valuable. 1t is
charaeter-the consciousness of a pure
and honorable life. This it should be
mans first aim to preserve at any cost.
In times of commercial distress, while
some are proved and fou 4 wanting,
others come forth tried as by f 2. Here
and there one comes out of furnace
far more of q man than be re. Amid
the wreck of his fortune he stands eret
"a noble specimen of true manhood.
We have occasionally witnessed an eX-
ample of courage in such a crisis, of
moral intrepidity, that deserved all hon
or. Let il be the aim of every business
man, above all things else, to keep his
purity unstained. This is the best pos
sessioR-this is a capital which can new
er be taken from him-this is the rich
est inheritance which he can leave to
his children,

ENvELoP MAKING.-A writer in an
English journal, describing the manu-
features of Aberdeen, says:
THE Aberdenians would seem to be
scarcely less celebrated for the manufac-
ture of paper than they are for granite.
ships, and combs. Few might be incIin-
ed to believe that one million Of SUPER
fine envelops' are made daily in this re-
gion of the kingdom. But in addition
to this, one firm manufacture fifty tons
Of writing paper q week. At their mills
at StOneywoOd, in the vicinity of Aber-
deem. and at the Union Works 1.-THE en-

give employment to somewhere about
two thousand persons, and as far as re-

to firm who turn out eighty-six thous-

thousand tons Of grOcers. paper bags, for
which latter they have machine ca
psble of doing the work Of twenty wo-
men in any give time. They employ
altogether about two hundred and fiftv
hands. The extent Of the Aberdeen pa

that there are five paper mills within

A BOY, hearing his father say, 'twas
poor rule that would not work both
WAYS said If father applies this rule
about his work, will test it in my play
So sitting up row of bricks three or four
inches apart, he tipped over the first,
which, striking the second, caused it to
fall on the third, which overturned the
fourth and so on through the whole
course, until all the bricks lay PROSTATE.
WELL said the boy, leach brick has
knocked down his neighbor which stood
next to him; 1 only tipped one. Now /
will raise one and see If he will raise his
neighbor.
He looked in vain to see them rise.
Here, Father said toe boy, 'is a poor
role; twill not work both ways, They
knock each other down, but will not
raise each other up
My son, said thefather, bricks and
mankind are alike, made Of clay, ao-
tive in knocking each other down.
The father then added the following
moral; when men fall, they love COM

stand alone, like yOnder brick and sec

ABOUT LOVE AND DMATRINONY.-NeV
er be afraid of becoming on old, fair
reader. An old maid is for more honor
able than a heartless wife, and single
bIessedness' is greatly superior in point
of happiness to welded life without love.
Fall not in love, dear girls-beware,'
says the song. But don't be guided by
the song on this question. On the con-
trary, be assured that it is a good thing
to fall in love, if the lovod object be 3
worthy one. To fall in love with an
honorable man is as proper as it is for
an honorable man to fall In love with q
virtuOus and amiable woman; and what
could be a more gratifying spectacle
than q sight so pure, so approaching in
its devotion to the celestial? No, fall
in love as soon as you like, provided
it be with a suitable person., Fall in
love and then marry; but never marry
unless YOU do love. That's the great
point. Never marry for house or q
'husband.' Never degrade yourself by
becoming a party to such an alliance.
Never sell yourself body and soul, on
terms so contemplate. Love rehReS all
things; it ennobles all conditions
With love, the marriage rite is truly q
sacrament. Without it, the ceremony
is q base fIaud, and the act is human
desecratiOn. Marry for love or not at
all. Be an old maid if fortune throws
not in your way the man of your heart;
and, though the witless may sneer, and
the Jester may laugh, you still have
your reward in an approving conscience
and comparatively peaceful life.

lis done-but yesterday king?
And armed with kings 70 strive
And now thou art nameless thing
So abject-yet alive
Is this the man of thousand thrones,
Who strewed our earth wita hostile bones
And can he thus survive
Since he, miscalled the Morning Star,
Nor man, nor fend hath fallen SO far.
But thou :orsooth must be king
And don the purple vest
AS IT that foolish robe could wiring
Remembrance from Thy breast.
Where is that faded garment? Where
The gewgaws thou vert fond to wear,
The star, the string, the crest
Vain, forward child Of empire say.

VIRTUES OF BoRAX.-It may not be
generally known how very valuable borax is
in various purposes Of household use. We
find it the very best cockroach extcrminator
yet discovered. One-haif pound, costing
but fifty cents, has, completely cleared
large house, formerly swarming with them,
so that the appearance Of one in month is
quite novelty. The various extermina-
ting powders pulled and advertised have
been found notfully effective, tending rath-
er to make the reaches crazy than to kill
them. There is something peculiar, either
in the smell or touch Of borax, which is
certain death to them. They will flee in
terror from it, and never appear again
where it has once been placed 1t is also
great advantage that borax is perfectly
harmless to human beings, hence no danger
from poisoning. 1t is also valuable for
laundry purposes. The washerwomon of
Holland and Belgium, so provcrbially clean
aud who get up their linen so beautifully
white, use refined borax rs washing powder,
instead of soda, in the proportion of large
