TIE Philosophy OF MARRIAGE. |
What Theodore Parker knew
out the ''hlessed estate OF matli- !
mony' is told in this extract:
"Young people marry their oppo-
site in temper and general charac-
ter, and such n marriage is COM
monty good match. They do it
instinctiyely. The youngman does
not say, "My black eyes require to
be wed with blue, and my over
vehemence require to be a little
modified with somewhat Of dull
ness and reserve" When these
opposites come together to be wed
they do not know it; each thinks
the other just like itself. Old peo-
pie never marry their opposites;
they marry their similars, and from
calculation. Each of these two
arrangements is very proper. In
their long journey these two young
oppositcs will fall out by the way
great many times; but each will
charm the other back again, and
by-and-hy they will he agreed as
to the place they will go to and the
road they will go to and road they
will go 10y, and become rcconcilcd.
The man will be nOblcr and larger
for being associated with so much
humanity unlike himself, and she
will be a nobler woman for having
manhood beside her that seeks to
correct her deficiencies and supply
her with what she lacks, if the di-
vcrsity he not too great. The old
bridegroom having much shorter
journey to make, must associate
himself with one like himself.
Men and women arc married frac-
tionally, now a small fraction, then
a large fraction. Very few are
married totally, and they only, |
think, after some forty or fifty
years of gradual approach and ex-
pertinent. Such large and sweet
fruit is complete marriage that il
needs very long summer to ripen
in, and then long winter to mel
|. low and season it."

The Chicago Times thus indignant
ly squelcl,es a Cincinnati Journal for
daring to insinuate that Boston has
gone ahead OF Chicago in the matter OF
confiagration: There is something
inconceivably childish in the idea OF
the Cincinnati person chuckling over
the thought that some other city has
had bigger fire than Chicago. The
petty jealousy and malignant but i'm
potent hate that are condensed In the
above article become all the more
ridiculous when it is considered that
the Boston conflagration was not one
half so great IN affair, measured in any
way, as the Chicago conflagration."

Lightning Calculation.

A large crowd was present at the Board of

Bloomington, Illinois, who is travelling through
this section demonstrating his system, which he
does in a manner most easily understood by his
hearers, illustrating his theory in manner
showing his perfect familiarity with the science
of numbers, adding columns of figures in a
manner almost as quick as lightning.
Mr. Welch disposed of quite a number of
books explaining his system, which were eager

Secretary Boutwell, ABLY Defended.

Mr.. Monroe, of Ohio, defended Secreta-
ry BoutwelPs management of the Treas
ury Department. His speech is regarded
| with more than ordinary interest, in con-
sequence of the intimate personal relations
between the speaker and the Secretary.
His speech is, therefore, regarded as reflect
ing the views of the Secretary and his
reasons for certain courses alluded to. In
this speech he dwelt particularly about
which there has been some difference. He
defended the rapid payment of the public
debt, on the ground that it had beed neces-
sary and effective in re-establishing the
National credit. He cOntended that it had
been wise to retain a large amount of gold
in the Treasury, because it had enabled
the government to check or to prevent I'M
principled conspiracies, because it had
kept the Government in readiness to re-
sumo specie payments, and because it had
sustained the credit of the nation, keeping
up the value of The United States notes
and bonds. He approved of the public
announcement at the beginning of each
month of the amount of gold to be sold,
and bonds to he bought, for the reason that
this course causes the least disturbance to
the money market, and is open and hon
orable. and least liable to suspicion. He
also considered it sound policy to buy
bonds with currency rather than with
gold, as the latter course would permit
only those to buy gold who had bonds, or
could command them. In regard to the
recent funding operation, he said the only
fault of the Secretary was that he valued
the spirit and object of the law above the
mere technical question as to the meaning
of its details. On the whole, he regarded
Mr.. Boutwell's financial administration as
one of the most successful in all history.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Mr. Horace
Greeley prints the following in the Tribune
tomorrow, as to his course in the forth
coming Presidential campaign: First"
If there shall be Democratic candidates for
President and Vice-President in the field,
we purpose the Republican ticket which
seems most likely to succeed, Second.
If the main issue in the canvass shall be
Protection against Free Trade, we shall
mo matter as to the candidates. be found
oD the side of protection. Third. But if
Gas we hope and eXpect) there shall be two
Republican tickets, and none other pre-
scented with any hope of success, We shall
favor that one whose election will be, in
our Judgment, most likely to promote
economy in public expenditure, purity in
legislation and administration, substantial
unanimity in upholding for all citizens a
complete equality of rights under the law,
and hasten the return offraternal concord
and mutual goodwill between those who
were arrayed against each other in sanguin-
ary strife throughout our great civil war.
Such is our position, and it will not be af-
fected bv the nomination of A OF B, g or D
at Cincinnati, Philadelphia or elsewhere.
Mr.. Greeley further says that the Tribune
will not be an organ, and will print no
campaign editions whoever may be the
candidate.
