Why People do not Marry Better.

You have seen a beautiful girl, beauti-
ful in person and in spirit, graceful in
features, and of a lovely disposition,
married to a man of common mould.
We can recall many such instances!
Then, again, you see strong, intellectual
men-men every way superior-so gre
viously mismated! 1t has often been
remarked that if matches are made in
heaven, they must be dreadfully
shaken up and misplaced on their way
downi
Now, it is very natural, not only that
people should, in the first place, all want
TO marry well themselves, but, also, in
the second place, that their own friend:
should be particularly well married. Al
the same time, when we come to take {
broad, philosophical, true view of tn,
matter, what do we find our conclusion
to be on the subject?
1t is very simple, and it is this: Mar
riages, on the whole, cannot averag,
above a certain medium quality. II
other words, marriages, i'm general, mus
be precisely on a level with the genera
character of the persons of whom til,
community is made up. And as q com
prehensive proposition, the whole prob
lem of marriage is reduced to this ques
tton: Is it better for such people tC
marry each other, or TO live single?
II is inevitable that as marriage i:
general there must be thousands of in.
stances in which parents will be disap-
pointed at the matches which their chill
dren make. Love is mysterious, and
it leads the feet of boys and girls in di-
rections where their fathers and moth
ers would fain not have them 60. They
will not select the companions for life
which others would select for them.
The most that can be done to render
marriages happier is to contribute what
one can to the improvement of the
whole community. You cannot fOreset
who is to become your son-in-law Ol
your daughter-in-law-perhaps the very
last person on earth you would expect
Whatever parents do, therefore, for the
physical, intellectual and moral culture
of the whole people, tends to increase
the chances that their own sons and
daughters will marry well.

The Dove and the Ohild-A Story of St.
Petersburg.


The river of Neva, on the banks o.
which st. Petersburg is built, often rise:
suddenly on the breaking up of ice il
Spring. Much peril consequently over
takes those whose homesteads are neal
enough to the rivers banks to be en-.
dangered by the overwhelming force o
the torrent, as well as by those float
ing blocks of ice whose destructive pow,
er is irresistible. In one of the small
tenements on the lower banks of the
river, a lovely fair-haired girl, about
nine years old, dwelt with her parents
who were workers i'm hemp and fax
The child's greatest earthly treasure
was beautiful little dove, rescued from
the hands of the destroyer, who had
rudely torn away the parent bird from
the nest; thus it had been nestled in her
bosom, and fed from her lips, and they
became almost inseparable companions,
except when the little Hilda accom-
panied her parents to church, or to mar
ket with her home-spun goods, when,
for the greater safety, the bird was sus-
pended from the ceiling in its quaint
wicker dwelling, to await, with fiutter
of delight, the little maids returning
footsteps; then the door of the cage was
thrown open and the dove flew jOyfully
to its usual perch or resting place on
Hilda's sshOulder. Such, possibly, might
have been their mutual position when
the rush and roar of waters suddenly
swept over their little dwelling, the
force of the destructive element leaving
no time for flight Orescape in any shape.
The child was soon seen struggling in
the wild whirl of waters, while the
dove, with expanded wings (which in
stinct would have taught her TO use for
flight and safety hovered over her little
protectress, fiuttering around with mex
pressible alarm, now perching on her
head or breast, when she rose on the
surface, and with her little beak MAX
ing vain efforts to rescue the floating
locks of silk-like hair borne backward
and forward by the eddies of the torrent.
When the fair young head was again en-
quilted, the dove plunged into the SWELL
ing waves after it, then rose again with
it, until NATURES struggles exhaust
ed the loving little head, and the wet
and weary wing sunk, never to rise
again, in the overwhelming waters.

Powerful Tonic,

Promoting the Appetite and InvIgorating the
Whlle Digestive Apparatus, thus building up
ana strengthening the system, while al the
same time the volatile principle, being alb
Sorbed in the blood, acts specifically on the
rheumatic Poison, removing it from the eircu-

There are few remedies known to the Medical
Profession which will remove the Rheumatic
Poison from the blood, but whose action is so
powerful in depressing the system of the al
ready enfeebled Rheumatic patient, that their
use has 10 be abandoned before specific effects
are Obtainable, and hence the want Of success
in treating this prevalent and consequently
heretofore incurable disease. Unlike these
medicines, already known, the UNK WEED
REMEDY, although producing as active and as
powerful effects on the blood and system in re-
moving the Rheumatic Poison, also possesses n
strong Tonic and Recuperating Element which
admits OF its continued use even by the most
delicate and debilitated. Thus we have the
combination Tor the first time OF these two
necessary elements in one remedy, which ac-
counts for its superior and neverfailing curative

There Is No Death.
By lord LYTToS.

By lord LfIION-
There is no deathi The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in Heavens Jeweled crown
They shine fOrevermore.
There is no death! The dust we tread
shall change beneath the summer SHOVE
To golden grain or mellowed fruit,
or rainbOw-tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize,
And feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the Viewless air.
There is no DEATH The leaves may fall,
And flowers may fade and pass away;
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming Of May-day.
There is no deathf An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
And bears our best loved things away
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desolate:
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
TranSplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose Joyous notes
Made glad these scenes OF sin and strife,
Now sings an everlasting song
Around the Tree Of Life.
Where'er he secs a smile too bright,
or heart too pure for taint or vice,
He bears u 10 that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born unto that undying life,
They leave US but 70 come again:
With JOY we welcome them the same,
Except their sin and pain.
Aud ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirfs tread;
For all the bOundlcss universe
Is life-there are no deadi

WHIsKEY HAs UsEp HIM UP.-Fi.

WHIsKEY HAS USED HIM UP.-Ffg-
arc talks in the following strain:
There is scarcely n community Orneigh-
borhood from Maine TO Oregon, where
this saying is not used almost every day
in the year, and altogether too truly. A
subject of this kind is to be found in al.
most every town. The merchant has
failed and whiskey has done il. The
lawyer, with brilliant talent and large
business, has fallen below the range OF
respectibiIity and confidence. Whiskey
was the sole cause. The politician, with
bright prospects before him, has played
out, and the account is charged to whis-
key. The Judge, of age and respectable
ity, is the subject of private and neigh
bOrhOOd talk. His enemies point with
derision, and his friends hang their heads
in shame, and whiskey has done it.
The kind-hearted neighbor and hard
working man has become pest in so
ciety, and trouble to his family. Whis-
key will beat any man living, and that
is what it is made for.

On Tuesday the Senate having, for
the first time, secured a quorum,
unanimously passed the following res
olutions prepared by Hons. ". L. Nc
Millen, A. E. Barber and G. Y. Kelso,
a special committee for that purpose:
WHEREAS, God in His providence
has seen proper to remove from our
midst Oscar j. Dunn, late Lieutenant
Governor of this State and President
of the Senate; and
Whereas, Lieutenant Governor Dunn
gave abundant evidence during the
time he was in discharge of the high
trust imposed on him by the people of
Louisiana of the possession of the no.
blest traits of character, both as man
and public servant, and as President
of the Senate was especially distin-
glished for the impartial, able and
dignified manner in which he dis
charged the delicate duties of the posi-
ton; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of the State
Of Louisiana, That in the death of
Lieutenant Governor Oscar J. Dunn
the State of Louisiana has been de-
prived of an able, faithful and con-
scientious officer, the Senate of Pre-
sident who had endeared himself to it
by a uniform and kindly courtesy, and
the people of this State, especially
those of his own race, of true friend
and champion.
Be it further resolved, etc, That we
tender to the bereaved family of the
late Lieutenant Governor the deepest
sympathy in their great sorrow, and
that copy of these resolutions be pro-
perly engrossed and signed and trans
mitted to them through his excellency
