To YOU'VE MEN on THE MARRY.-We
find the following in an exchange and publish
it for what it is worth: Young men about
to marry-Observe the dark girl with large
leg will become fat at thirty, and lie abed read
ind novel until midday. The brunette with
slender, very slender limbs, will worry your soul
out with jealousy The blonde with large
limbs will degenerate at thrty-fve to the pos
session of a pair of ankles double the natural
SIZE and afflicted with rheumatism. The fair
haired damsel with thin limbs will get up at
half-past five A. NJ, to scold the servants, and
will spend nights talking scandal over tea. The
light, rosy girl, with a sturdy, muscular, well
turned leg, will be Just the girl for you. If
you can find red haired girl, with large
limb, pop the question at once. The short
lady should always possess slender limb; the
the rules to observe in making your choice .
We do not make them-nature has establish
ed them, and we announce them for the bene-
fit of mankind. These hints are reliable, and
prevailing fashion make them quite popular. y
AS an offset to this, however, we publish the
following, which our readers will doubtless re
member to have seen in the Times several
months ago;
A cotempOrary says, in lecture to young
men, Don marry dimples, nor ankles, nor
eyes, nor mouths, nor chins, nor hair, nor

scraps of femininity are mighty poor things tc
tie to. Marry the true thing

THE Dress QUEsTIoN-A female cores
pondent of the n. Y Ecening Post says:
For myself | should like to return to the
habits of our grandmOthers, buy a bonnet
which would do to wear ten years; have three
dresses, two for every day and one for " nice, y
and wear them years till they wear out, with
out alteration; also twist up my hair in plain
wad at the back of my head. | should then
have more time for reading and study, and
more money to spend in books, pictures and
travelling, to say nothing of the unlimited time
and money for doing good. And | know of
very many women who would only be too hap
py to throw aside the wearisome shackles of
fashion. What would be the result? with the
maiden, no more beaux with the wife, a cessa-
ton OF devotion on the part Of her husband
results too dire to be contemplated for mo-
ment. | speak what | know and testify what
have seen. | have myself been to parties sensi.
bly, and economically clad, aud was despised
and rejected of men; again, have been more
fashionabiy attired, and had more beaux than
| knew what to do with. By the way why
don't some of the wise and sensible bachelors
court and marry among the vast army of work
ing girls They are dressed simply and are
accustomed to habits cf economy They
would be glad enough of good homes and
would make excellent wives. They are per-
sonay attractive and | doubt not, are quite as
refined and intelligent as the average Of fash
iOnable women. Why is there not greater
demand for them as wives? And why are
not the Flora McElimses drug in the mar
ket? Let the facts speak for themselves BE
not deceived, ., my brethren With you lies

Our MOTHER-Around the idea of ones
mother the mind of a man clings with fond
affection. 1t is the first deep thought stamped
upon our infant hearts when yet soft and capa-
bic of receiving the most profound impressions,
and the after feelings of the world are more or
less light in comparison. Even in our old ege
we look back to that feeling as one of w NW |;
sweetest we have through life Our pass. af,
and our willfulness may lead us far from tbs
object of our fia love; we learn even to pain
her heart, to oppose her wishes, to violate her
commands; We may become wild, headstrong,
and angry at her counsels Or opposition; but
when death has stilled her mOnitory voice, and
memory still remains to recapituate her vir,
tues and good deeds, affection, like flower
beaten to the ground by past storm, raises up
her head and smiles among her tears Around
that idea, as we have said, the mind clings
with fond affection, and even when the early
period of our loss forces memory to be silent,
fancy takes the place of remembrance, and
twines the image of our dead parent with a
garland of graces and beauties and virtues
which we doubt not she possessed.

An old Vermont farmer has just completed
a musical calendar clock, the work Of his spare
hours during the last eight years. 1t is really
a wonderful piece of mechanism, and has at
tracted visitors from far and near. 1t is an
eight day clook. The dial marks the second,
minute, hour day of week, day of the month,
month, and year; thermometer rests against
its pendulum, giving the state of temperature;
the ball of the pendulum contains a miniature
time piece, which derives its motive power
solely from its vibrations, and keeps accurate
time. There is also a cylinder musical attach
ment, which may be set to play any one Of
seven tunes at the end of each hour. In this
last feature it can be so adjusted and such
was the intention of the maker-as to play
"Old hundred" at the end of each hour on
Sunday, and "Old folks at home," Swiss
Waltz, y " Star-Spangled Banner" 6 Hail Co
lumbia," " Yankee Doodle" and Sweet
Home, respectively, on each successive day
OF the week. The entire mechanism is placed
in black-walnut case, which measures ten
feet high, twenty inches wide, and ten inches
deep. The case is highly polished, and its
front bears the inscription in raised letters

A physician having visited a sick lady dur

CUNDURANGO-A reputed Specific tor Cam
cer.-The State Department at Washington
has lately received, through the minister from
Ecuador to the United States, specimens Of a
plant know as cundurango, found in the pro-
vince of Loya. Ecuador, to which marvellous
qualities in curing cancer and other similar
diseases are ascrbed The physicians of
Quito have been experimenting upon this sub
stance, and report most wonderful cures, and
limited quantity of the plant has been sent
to the United States i'll order to secure proper
experiments upon it on the part of the Amerl-
can faculty. No intimation is given Of the
botanical character of the plant, the fruit of
which, however, is said to be highly poisonous.
Its virtues were first discovered, according
to a communication accompanying the speci
mems, entirely by accident An Indian had
been suffering fearfully for long time from
internal cancer, and his wife undertook to re-
lcve him by shortening his life by poison.
For this purpose she selected the cundurango :;
but not being able to obtain it at the time of
its fruit bearing, she made a decocton of the
bark 10 her astonishment, the first applica-
ton appeared to benefit the patient rather than
otherwise and by continuance of this remedy
he was completely cured in short time

THE problem of constitutional govern
ment is handled in the new States of the
West far more boldly than with us. Ne
braska votes to-day on the acceptance of
constitution far superior TO the one which
the New York Convention.spent months in
contriviDg, and then had rejected almost
entirely by the people. The proposed Ne
braska constitution provides for an inde-
pendent Supreme Court, to act as court
of last resort; prohibits special legislation
in every form forbids the creation of State
indebtedness without the previous specific
consent of the people; substitutes pay
