the coaches had started, the man drew a re-

the ladies' tainted at sight of the pistol, when
the driver, AL. Richardson, stopped the coach,
and the man got out, saying he would not
ride with women who would faint. Richard
son asked him if he had pistol, and he re-
piled that he had not. The driver told him
that he must take passage for the remainder
OF the trip upon the outside with him, which
he refused to do, and took out his pistol. Mr..
Hurd, OF North Adams, also passenger, then
stepped out OF the coach and told Richardson
that the man must be relieved of the pistol

was engaged in watering. AS the man ap-

PRETTY GIRLs.-This brief paragraph
from Mrs. SloYe's "Pink and White Tyran-
ny" is of universal application:
Pretty girls, unless they have wise moth
ers, are more educated by the opposite sex
than by their own. Put them where YOU Will,
there is always some man busying himself in
their instruction; and the burden of mascu-
line teaching is generally about the same and
might be stereotyped as follows: "You need
not be or do anything. Your business in life
is to look pretty and to amuse u.s."
And again, dpropos of an uncomfortable
wish expressed by some honest man that Lii
lie might have the small pox, the only hope,
he thinks, of her being saved-she, of course,
would rather not be saved on such terms-we
have this:
For it at once must appear that, had the
small poX made the above mentioned change
in Lilies complexion at sixteen, the whole
course of her life would have taken another
turn. The whole world then would have
united in letting her know that she must live
to some useful purpose, or be nobody and
nothing. Schoolmasters would have scolded
her if she had idled over her lessons and her
breaking down in arithmetic, and mistakes in
history, would no longer have been regarded
as interesting Clergymen, consulted on her
spiritual state would have told her freely
that she was miserable sinner, who, except
she repented, must likewise perish. In short,
all those bitter and wholesome truths which
strengthen aud invigorate the virtues Of
plain people, might possibly have led her a
long way on towards saintship."

YOUNG LADIES REeATTA.-A CORES
pondent at Centre Harbor, N. H., gives a
glowing account of boat race OF Lake Win
nepseogee one afternoon last week, between
some young lady guests at that place. The
race, as it seems. arose from the daily amuse-
ment of the young ladies, who spend por-
tion of each morning i'm plying the oar upon
the lake. The correspondent says the boats
took their positions by the judges stand in
the following order:
The Magic, rowed BY Miss Josie H, of
Boston. Color, orange.
The Wanderer, rowed by Miss Ella c.,
of Lowell. Color, magenta.
The Tidal Wave, rOwed by Miss Blanche
P, of New York. Color, brown.
The lizzie, rowed by Miss Hattie H, of
Centre Harbor. Color, blue.
Thej start was picture. Every pair of
oars struck the water at the same instant,
and sent it in pearly drops, like Cleopatra's
jewels, flashing in the sunlight, as that one
fittf,z-v, ns,o,,, uUucrcdStJ-t vtuftor.
At the end of the fist thirty strokes it be-
came clearly evident that the race was di-
vided one; the struggle for the first place be-
ing confined to the magenta and the brown,
the others, slight distance behind, pulling
pluckily for the third position. IL was as
| pretty u IdCc do CNOI odW upOu
mond the bright faces of the young girls, the
beauty and uniqueness of their costumes, the
gaily-dressed throng, the sunny afternoon, the
blue lake covered with perfect carnival o
shalops, and above all, the sturdy, pluck,
pulling of the rowers, made the scene on
never to be forgotten. The brown at til,
start took decided lead, and her friends wer
| iubant, but soon the steady, unfurred
beautfully-exact stroke of the magenta
catching the water thirty-fve times to tn
minute, began to close the gap, and coilarln!
| her fair rival about two rods from the hnish
won by about eight inches. The little one u
blue was pulling steadily and wondenulll
well, and gradually gaining upon her NOR,
mature opponent in orange. Toward the end
hawever, her slight strength failed her, ant
despite her most earnest endeavort she wa
beaten by the orange by two seconds. tn
prizes two very elegant goblets-were pre-
| sented to the successful contestants. The a
fair, from its novelty and from the social p,
sition of the young ladies, was great an
pleasing surprise.

DURING the late riots at New York, a cigar
store belonging to German Mapped to stand
right in the focus of warlike operations, and
was riddled with bullets. The next day his
store was swarmed and he drove brisk trade.
Some one remarked that the wooden Indian
had not suffered much. A happy thought
siezed the Teuton. The following morning
at an early hoar he introduced Tecumseh in
to the back yard aud kept up brisk fire OF
small arms into the veterans body. Then by
daylight he put him out again ready to adver-
tise his wares. He has sold the bullets at IS
cents to 81 for relics and still the stock is un-
diminished, as he probably puts him through
a course of peppering every morning.

FRIDAY, AUGUST IS, 1871.
For Governor:
SIDNEY PERHAW,
OF PARIS,
COUNTY CONVENTIONS. .

"ARE SUNDAY MARRIAGES VoID?" is the
important question asked by American Socie-
ty. The question has been argued repeated
iy, and the usual judgment is that. they are
not strictly legal. "There are, no doubt" says
Tue paper mentioned, 100000 couples in this
o'a'e alone for whom the marriage ceremony
was performed ON the Sabbath-many of
them in the evening of that day. A note
drawn and signed on the Sabbath is illegal. or
any other legal agreement between the par
ties. Marriage is legal contract, which. if
performed out of the legal time, necessarily
must be void; and claiming this, the sons and
and daughters of recently deceased million
aire mean to contest his will, because in that
a large portion of his estate was wied to the
children of their stepmother, who was we'd
ded to their father on the Sabbath, in a
church in the city of Rochester, in this State.
Ii the question is to be Mcided that such
marriages are Illegal another long catalogue
of vexatious suits will be brought into our
courts by parties similarly related to the one
above mentioned. The decision lately rem
dered by learned jndge OF onr courts, that
marriages of minors are illegal, and divorce
for such is not necessary in order that they
can separate and remarry legally, since it was
carried into immediate practice by the parties
for whom the decision was rendered, is prov
ing baneful to society. The harm that this
decision does to our social system is Temporal
ry only, and il the marrying population but
learn OF this decision, the future will witness
less elopements of young couples, and less
number OF cases where guileful and designing
men entice young ladies from home in order
to wed them. That the ceremony Of marriage
performed for minors on any or all days Of
the week, or for couple where one is min
or and the other an adult, should be pronouc-
ed illegal and non effective, is not strange.
But in the face of long practised customs,
that Sabbath day weddings are illegal will
strike thousands with feelings akin TO conster-
nation. With all our laws and codes it is,
indeed, strange that those legal enactment
which most concern our personal welfare and
happiness are least known and understood by
the general public, including our most intelli-
gent people," Fortunately, however, there is
no real cause for alarm. The carelessness or
oversight of Lawmakers will in no event be
permitted to override the intentions of par
ties entering into the marriage contract, Re
cent decisions hold as married parties who
have been anxious to separate by virtue of
legal technicalities of greater moment than
the one in question. Those who have been
married on the Sabbath need not be alarm
