The ladies in Russia are very anxious
to marry, because they have no liberty
before marriage. They are kept con-
stantly under the paternal eye, until
given up to their husbands, and then
they take their own course. Almost IS

of society. her parents begin to prepare
the dowFy she must have when she

COIrax on the Presidency.

Vice-President COlfax has written
a letter to the editor of the India
napOlis Journal, in which, af-
ter noticing telegram from Indian
apOlis to the effect that a concerted
effort was being made to secure for
him the Republican nomination for
President, he says: mo such effort
is being made anywhere by my wish
or authority. Publicly and privately,
in speeches and in letters, I have in
variably declared myself in favor OF
| President Grants denomination, as
well to those not friendly to it as to
those who were, and have 50 written
to every friend in Indiana who asked
my opinion. When the ticket of
Grant and COlfaX was elected in 1858
l determined there should be no alien
alton between them growing out of
the distribution of presidential patron
age, in regard TO which 1 resolved not
to Obtrude, or from any lack of friend
ship or good will on my part, and
am glad to state that this was most
cordially reciprOeated by the Presi-
dent, so that there has never been the
slightest disturbance of our most de-
sirable personal and political reIa-
tiOns, nor can any discOrd in the par
ty be traced to any real or even pre-
tended antagOnism between US.
feel deeply tie obligations l am un-
der to the Republicans of Indiana and
the nation for their long continued
confidence; and political duty to a
party whose record for the past ten
years is the nOblest ever made by any
party, in any country or any age, in
duces me to say that if the national
convention deem it wisest to renom-
mate me for the office l now hold
would accept, but my interest in the
continued ascendence of Republican
ism is far greater than any personal
considerations, and if the convention
prefers some one else for the vice-pres-
idency, and there are many ADLER and
worthier, no man in the United States
shall exceed me in the cOrdiality and
earnestness with which I shall sup
port him. l am not a candidate for
the presidential nomination, being
just as decidedly as ever in favor OF
President Grants denomination, and
hope our convention on the 22d will
so declare unanimously. l beg, for
the sake of harmony, politically, and
to save me personally from the suspi-
ciOn of bad faith toward one with
whom my relations are and have al
ways been so cordial, that my name
may not be mentioned by any one in
our State Convention in opposition to
| Gen. Grant, whom | believe t. be the
first choice of very large majority Oi
| the Republicans of the United States
Truly yours,

The Unseen Inheritance

An aged Christian man was on nj.
death-hed, and was happy in his pros
peet of soon entering into the iOy O
the Lord. He had a brother who haC
made the world the great object Of hi
life, and who, of course, was very DOol
toward God, and with all his worldly
shreWdneSs was so shOrt-sighted as tC
nave made no provision for the world
20 come, and had no idea of ENJOYING
an inheritance beyond the grave.
his dying brother had given greater
| attention to the requirement of true
riches than to the realization of world
/ ly wealth; and in his infirmities and
sickness he required that Christian
friends should minister TO his necessi-
ties, as the holy woman ministered OF
their substance to the Lord.
When his rich brother came to see
him, ne upbraided him for giving so
much attention to the things of God,
and giving away so much of his sub
stance for religious purposes, and sub
JecLlng himself TO poverty, when, if he
had followed his advice and example.
he might now have been in the enjoy
ment OF plenty, instead of being, as be
termed it, burden to his friends.
With great calmneSS and earnest
ness the dying saint replied, waving
his wasted hand toward his poor, self
deceived brother: "Quiet! quiet
Whist, whist, Tom / have a kingdom
ma begun upon and an inheritance that
L have ma yet seen."
Who was the richer of the two
brothers? The one who had his good
things here in this perishing world, or
the one who was begOtten again to a
lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead, and who knew
that he was heir to an Inheritance
which is ineOrruptible and undefiled,
and that fadeth not away, reserved in
heaven?
Dear reader, while you provide for
things honest in the sight of all men,
let your chief care be, not to be rich in
the worlds estimation, but to be
rich in the estimation of GOd-to have
q good hope through grace ofenjoying
the everlasting inheritance which is
laid up in heaven for all believers.
SuppOsing that you have "much
goods laid up for many years." and
have no hope for eternity-and God
should say at this moment to you.
''ThOu fool, this night shall thy soul
be required of thee then whose shall
those things be which thou hast pro-
vided ?'' $50 is he, says Jesus, "WhO
layeth up treasure for himself, and is
not rich toward God -

Death of an Indiana Anchorlte

In the northern part of this cOun-
ty, deep in the heart of the primeval
forests stands rude log cabin, until
Yesterday the home of Archibald Lee
rov, the hermit. For nearly half a
century he lived the life of an AnchO-
rite in that lone eand secluded spot,
and the vegetables which he cultiva-
ted in the little garden that surround
ed his house.
At one time Archibald Leroy must
have been a fine looking man; and
his regular features, bright black eyes
and tall straight form, gave him to
th9 very last a diStRgltC air that age
could not overcome. 1t appears that
when he was youth of twenty that
he met n young lady to whom he be-
came ardently attached-that they
were betrOthed-tEat on the evening
priOr to her marriage she begged him
TO release her from her pledge, because
she did not love him, and upon his
comDliauce she welded a bidze mar
of the world, whose money was his
only recommendation, and whose
reputation was that Of a rOUe. Archi
bald LEROY thereupOn Withdrew from
I house where he lived, and across
whose threshold he WAS carried to-day
/ in his collin.
He was a great student. The wall
of his cabin are lined with standar,
works, and all these bear the mark
of frequent use. de was also an art
/ ist, and in his portfolio were found
number of exquisite sketches of tn
| beautiful scenery that surrounds In
late home. He was in many respect
a remarkable man, with excellen
/ traits of character, rs his neighbor
testify, and with a wonderful store o
information on every subject, n
matter how abstrIIse OF profound 1t
character. But he must have lacke
an evenly balanced mind, to permi
an insignificant accident Of his boy
hood to change his whole after III
from brightness to gloom, and to pre-
vent his fellOw-man from enjoyin
the benefit of his genius and cOmpaT
ionship.-F0rt Wayne Sentinel.

An Incident.

The following little story is told at
the expense of a young lady school
teacher in an eastern town, who is
very properly anxious in regard to the
prevention of smallpox in her
school, and therefore, strictly enfOrces
the rule that whenever a case of sick
ness is reported in the family of any
one of her pupils the pupil must bring
a certificate from the family physician
stating that the disease is not conta-
giOus, failing in which the pupil must

one of her pupils, q little girl OF kqat
tonic extraction, had sickness in her
family. On being questioned, the girl
admitted that "she had sick folks in
her house :" that her mother was
sick. and that she had "marks on her
face.D She was accordingly sent
home. She returned in few days,
however, and reported that cher faith
or was sick" She was again sent
home with orders not to come again
without a certificate from the family
physician. The next day she return

/ Tom is a queer genius, and lets of
some tall ones occasionally. He visi-
ted us the other day in our sanctum
with
"HOw do you do, old fellow ~
"HallO; TOm," said we, "where
have you been Sc long ?"
"Why, sir, I've been down on Sew
ern River, in Anne Arundel County,
taking Shanghai notes on the ehiils
and fever"
"Ah, indeed" said we, ''are they
/ very bad there ~
"Rather bad" said Tom dryly.-
''There is one place where they have
been attempting to build a brick
/ house for eight weeks-welI, the other
day as the hands were putting up the
bricks preparatory to finish it they
were taken with a chill, and shook
the whole building completely down,
and kept on shaking till the bricks
were dust of the finest quality. Just
at this juncture, the chills came on
with renewed force, and they COM
menced shaking with such a gusto.
that they were entirely Obscured for
hours, and all the people of that
neighbOrhoOd thought the sun was in
an eclipse
"Gas ~ said we.
mot at ALL" said Tom.
WHY, l was sixteen miles further
down the river the other, day, and
saw four men carrying a big pine log
from on board a schooner to the
shore. The chills came on and they
shook the log, which was thirty feet
long, all up in pieces of the proper
size for firewOOd, and then taking
reshake of it, split and piled it up, at
the same time shaking all the knots
out oft"
Cant believe anything like that

ats fact" said Tom, and he re-
there's a farmer down there
who, in the apple-picking season,
hauls his niggers out to the orchard
and sets one up against each tree. In
a short time the ehills come on, and
every apple in the orchard is shaken
off the trees onto the ground.n
incredible said we, holding our
sides with both hands.
Fact" said Tom, "they keep a /
man alongside of each negro to take |
him away as soon as the fruit is of, |
for fear that he will shake the tree |
down."
Tom continued: "Mr. S-,a friend /
of mine, and house carpenter, was |
engaged a few days ago in covering |
the roof of a house with shingles. Just |
as he was finishing the chill came on,
and he shook every shingle of of the |
roof. Some are supposed to be flying
about YETI
"AnOther gentleman near the same /
place was taken with q chill the other /
day at dinner, and shook his knife |
and fork down This throat, besides /
breaking ali the crOckery-wareo on the /
table. His little son, who was sitting /
at the table at the same time, was
taken with a chill and he shook all /
the buttons off his inexpressibles,
and then shook himself clear of
them p'
We then prevailed upon Tom to
desist; but with the understanding
that he was to tell US the balance some
other time.
