The way John Stuart Mill proposed
TO the young lady who eventually be-
came his wife is strange but true.
1 wish | had your head, Mr.. Mill. -
said the lady, on an occasion when
that gentleman had solved for her a
knotty point.
And | wish 1 had your heart, re-
piled Mr.. Mil.
Well, said the lady, .:sinee your
head and my heart agree SO well, 1 am
willing that We should go into partner
ship"
And so 1t was.

HYMENEAL.-The prophecy in
which was last week foretold the
coming Of nuptial feast, was happi-
ly fulfilled on Sunday morning last
by Mr.. n. NJ. ASTON and Miss HAIR
RTET A. BEALL being united in the
holy bonds of natrimony. Circum-
stances prevented as from accepting
the kind invitation to be present as
our young friends launched their life
barque, freighted with mutual love,
upon the placid and elysian ocean Of
conjugal felicity; though, in imagina-
ton, We viewed the happy transac-
ton, as two loving hearts were kim
died into one vehement flame of bliss,
and two congenial souls leaped forth
in the hope ofjoys too full for utter
ance. May the peaceful and heavenly
influence Of that benign effulgence,
which gave q golden tint to all sur
roundings on that beautiful Sabbath
morning, ever illumine the labyrinth
ian ways of thier earthly pilgrimage
unto final home in that beatifc land
of perfect Love beyond the sunsets
radiant glow
Or, may their peace within Loves arms ne'er
want a resting place,
But, like her gently budding charms, increase
with reasons pace;
Whilst years roll onward, first in bliss, until
Gfe's peaceful even,
And when time bids them yield up this, find
after JOY in heaven.

some new and infamous transaction,
whereby men of mark and of hitherto
spOtless reputation have, for a paltry
pecuniary consideration, bartered a.
way all that entities them to the hon.
or, esteem and respect of their fellow
citizens. A great mans fall is the
apology for the failings of many lesser
beings, and the moral effect upon COM
munities and individuals is deplorable.
If the great and the good, whom we
have been taught from our infancy to
revere and honor, prove hypocrites
and rascals, whom have we to look to
as models of propriety and virtue p
The degradation of a person of this
character, is of greater injury to socie-
ty than the ruin of thousands who
are less prominently known and little
cared for. "The lore Of money is the
root of all evil" is proverb no less
applicable to modern than to ancient
times; to this fast growing weakness
among men, this contagious disease
of the mind, is attributable nine-tenths
of all the great wrongs and evils Of
the times. If men would but believe
that fair competence is all they are
capable of enjoying. If they would
give more of their time to the cultiva-
ton of their hearts and souls, and
their talents to worthy purposes, if
they would but conquer their fast
growing worldliness and live for the
accomplishment of more worthy end
than the mere acquisition of money,
they would build up for themselves
more noble manhood and more glo-
rious immortality.

The cultivation of that esculent,
the butter bean, is too much neglee-
ted by all who pretend to make any
%prctension to q garden. 1t has the
advantage of being a constant bear
or through the entire season, furn-
ishing a nutritious dish until after
frost. 1t is very prolific, and during
its bearing season dry ones can DO
gathered every day for winter use.
They are easily cultivated, do not
require rich land, and are much bet
ter fer winter use than the Navy
bean so universally sold at tn South
and grown in Northern fields. The
crop is y sure one, and q family can
save much by raising q good quan.
tity in the garden. In summer,
when green, they can be cooked
with corn, forming the Indian dish
called "succotash, " or served up
with butter alone. In the winter
they make a fine dish boiled and
then baked with a piece of bacon,
or they may be boiled into an ex-
Cellcnt soup, requiring no meat to
season it, q little Worcestershire or
tomatdS sauco being all thatis need
cd. 1t is a good Eegetable-the
