Early Marriages.

1t always makes me sad 10 know that any Of
my young gin friends are about to be married.
Grlhood comes but once to the daughters Of Eve,
and it should be period bright with hope and
hrm full Of happy hours, spent in learning some
thing to fit her FOR the future woman, and how
to make her home happy and pleasant; for an in
telligent aud cheerful maiden can brighten the
poorest home, and be ever u welcome guest
wherever she goes. To such, the years pass
Aeetly, Home is the best school for the develop
ment Of the domestic tastes and habits aud what
ever girl is in her early home, such she will be
when placed in her husbands home.
When girl enjoys a long period Of giihood,
expanding and growing in character and ly
every means fitting herself for useful career
she will enter upon married life fully aware of it,
responsibilities, and its possibilities, too. Such
girl is worth winning and will not be likely To
form rash engagements, or hasty attachments.
1t is often urged that those who marry Young
more readily conform to each others tastes and
idoas-but this is not always true II girl has
any individuality or character Of her own il vii
surely assert itself sooner or later The twain
may walk together at first like two children, alb
sorbed in the present only, but after time Tn,
future opens before them, and life becomes real
Then each will surely follow the instincts and i'm
pulses within, and though harmony may be kept
perfect between them, each feels that the other il
entitled 10 the enjoyment Of tastes and opinion,
of their own choosing, This is as it should be
for there Is hardly more pitlful object than O
woman married in her early teens, and in coun,
Of years the mother of family, requiring all he
time and thoughts, and destitute Of character an,
ideas Of her own. She did not wait to learn some
thing of life, and explore the vast resources o
science and art. and thus lost the chance and So
while life remains she can only repeat what h

Destroy Your Enemies.

Il is recorded of Chinese emperor that
ON being told that his enemies had revolted
in one of the distant provinces, he said to
his officers, Come, follow me- and we will
quickly destroy them" lie marched forward
and the rebels submitted on his approach
Al now thought that he would take re-
yenge, and were surprised to see the cap
tiyes treated with kindness and humanity.
" How said the chief officer, lis this the
manner In which your majesty fulflls your
promise Your royal word was given that
your enemies should be destroyed, and be
hold You have pardoned them all, and even
oaressed some of them 81 promised"
replied the emperor, "to destroy my enemies (;

CHoIcE OF FRIENDs.--As regards private
social life, know of no happier phase OF it
than that which allows yosi TO have only a
few intimate friends, and which does not
compel you TO fritter away your hours among
host Of acquaintance who have no heart
regard for you--paying cold visit here, u
cold visit there, glad when they are over .
receiving these conventional visits in return,
and uttering commonplace the while which
are devoid Of meaning and have no suspicion
u earnesmess. Where you have within hail
lew friends between whom and yourself a
sincere esteem exists, room is given for
earnest feeling TO flower; the true heart
glow y felt, and you give and receive smiles
which are not artificial, and speak and hear
words which are good and glad utterances.
In time the ties which bind you and your
friends grow as strong as ties Of bloodkin-
bred, and when face Is missed from the
circle, you mourn for Il with genuine CRIED
and affection.

MODERN WOMEN.

1t Is a sad commentary upon ouf
boasted civilization that the women o
our times have degenerated in health
and physique until they are literally
race of invaids-pale, nervous, feeble,
and back -achy, with only here and there
a few noble exceptions in the persons Of
the robust, buxom ladies characteristic
of the sex in days gone by. BY very
large experience, covering q period of
years, and embracing the treatment Of
many thousands of cases of those all
ments peculiar to women, DIR. Pierce, Of
the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y.
has perfected, by the combination of
certain vegetable extracts, natural spe-
cific, which he does not extol as a cure
all, but one which admirably fulflls a
singleness of purpose, being most DOS
tive and reliable remedy for those weak
nesses and complaints that afflict the
women OF the present day. This natu-
raj specific compound is called DIR.
Pierces Favorite Prescriptions The fol-
lowing are among those diseas ss in which
this wonderful medicine has worked
cures as if by magic, and with certain
ty never before attained by any medi.
cines: Weak back, nervous and general
debility, falling and other displacements
OF internal organs resulting from debili.
ty and lack Of strength in natural sup.
J. ports, internal fever, congestion, inham.
1mation and liberation and very many
other chronic diseases incident to wo.
men. not proper to mention here, in
which, as well as in the cases that have
been enumerated, the Favorite Pre-.
scription effects cures-the marvel Of
the world. 1t will not do harm in any
state or condition of the system, and by
adopting its use the invalid lady may
avoid that severest of ordeals-the con.
sulting Of family physician. Favorite

THE UNITED REPUBLICAN Policy.
1t is a significant and commanding
fact of the times that the Republicans oj
the United States Senate hare united alpon
a financial measure, and that this measure
has for its aro~ed purpose the resumption
Of specie payments.
1t is a still more significant fact that
this Republican financial measure pro.
vides for imitation to the amount of $50.
100000. Eighty-two millions Of green.
backs are TO be replaced by one hundred
and two and half million national
bank notes.
1t is still more Commanding fact
that the promise to resume specie pay.
ments in 1879 is precisely as worthless
as the S736, 900 outstanding promises
to the same effect.
The "ayowed purpose" Of specie pay.
ments in 1879 is a lie. Not q step TO-
ward them is taken, but twenty and 9
half million steps backward.-Worla.

ton, although there may be and doubtless
are more needy than in most other win
tiers. But this matters not. 1t is our
duty to aid the poor at all seasons, and
it is made especially so now. There can
be no escape from this if we fulfill the
command of the Saviour. OF your album
dance you may give much; but those
who have not been favored by fortune
cannot find valid excuse for withhold
ing in the fact that they have not an
abundance. 1t is the duty of all to help
the deserving poor, and if we deprive our
selves Of some Of the numerous luIuries
and pleasures of life, or even 4 few OF
the ordinary comforts, in order that we
may relieve the wants Of the suffering
and the deserving, We shall then only

This from the New York HERALD, OF
Saturday, is to the point; Recently Pres
ident Grant made the significant remark
that should there be any more resistance
to the Kellogg government somebody
will be hurt" The whole miserable
history Of the Louisiana business, from
the usurpation of Kellogg down to tho
second overthrow Of the form Of repub-
hcan government, is of a character to
hurt all who figure in it. The Republi-
can leaders have already been seriously
hurt by their criminal partisanship in
the business Of reconstruction. The
national Administration has been hurt
By its injudicious despotic interference
in State elections and in the aid it has
afforded to upsurpation when the will Of
the people has been in conflict with the
Interests Of Radicalism. Should this
latest and most fragrant outrage be con
ummated, should thegovernment elect
