Activity Leads to Happiness.

We should all live more healthful, more
useful and longer lives, did we SO employ
our activities to extract from them that en-
ioyment which is their natural and legltl,
mate result. Let every one be sure that, II
his work is toilsome, arduous and depress-
ing, there is something wrong; some of his
faculties are restained, while others are
overburdened some of his powers are ex-
hauste6, while others are dormant. 1t is
not rest so much as change that he needs
not to lay down his work and fold his hands
in idleness, but rather to embrace other
fields of action, hitherto untrodden. 1t will
doubtless be difficult to apply this to all the
details of practical life, but we shall have
gained one important step towards It,, II
we appreciate and firmly hold to the truth,
that rea; happiness can only be attained by
activity of mind and body, and the more
fully and harmoniously all our powers are
exercised, the fuller will be our life, and the
more real enjoyment will it yield.

COurtship and Marriage.

1t is singular fact, says Parlsian writer,
that man generally requires very differ
ent qualities in a wife from those he admires
in a sweetheart. While lover, he expected
to see his future wife neatly and stylishly
dressed whenever he chose to call, either
morning or evening, and the girl busted
her little brain all day in efforts to please
his taste. If he left town for few days,
he sent letters full Of sweet nothings that
filled her soul with joy. Then came de-
lightful rambles in the moonlight and hours
spent in charming tete tetes after the
family had retired, when the two saw no
one but each other in their world of love-
Alas ! that such bliss must ever be dis
PEELED. Time brought preparations for the
approaching wedding; for this devoted couple
imagined that their happiness could never be
complete until the Hymeneal knot was tied.
So the wedding and honeymoon were
soon over, and the parties settled into the
matter-of-fact part of life. The bride
knows nothing of housekeeping. Since her
schooldays she has spent her time in study
ing the tastes of her lover, which certainly
seemed to incline towards dress and senti-
mentality ....
Now, alas she discovers that his stomach
demands food of the best quality; and be-
cause she knows not how to cater to his
pdldCe DIS love SecllS 10 De waning. w uile
he is vainly trying to appease hunger with
sour bread and burned steak, little does he
appreciate the sweet nonsense and honeyed
words which used to be so satisfying to his
sentimental nature .
All, men are so unreasonable. They ex-
pect to find every quality of excellence in
the woman they marry, yet have not pene-
tratlon sufficient to choose the most worthy.
To shine in society, to exhibit every fem
inine accomplishment, both at home and
abroad, are duties which they require in the
woman they marry, and what have they to
give in return? 1t seems impossible that
those delicate attentions which character
lied the lover should be so Withdrawn by
the husband.
The other day when heard a neighbor
demanding his dinner in not the most pleas
ant tone, thought, "Can it be possible that
he ever played the ardent lover to that pale,
detected woman, whom he calls his wife 2"
The lover who could scarcely tear himself
away from his sweetheart at midnight is
the same man who now leaves his wife to
spend her evenings as best she may, while
| he passes the hours in doubtful enjoyment.
! All !! how soon men forget the solemn
VOW to love and cherish till death ! And
how many women regret that the charming
delusions of courtship were ever exchanged
for the unpleasant realities of marriage.

A SHORT SERMoN.-As a monk was as
cending the rostrum one St. Stephens day
to preach a sermon in praise Of that saint,
the officiating priests, fearing that the holy
father would be somewhat longwinded,
whispered in his ear a petition that he
would shorten his discourse. The monk
gravely entered the pulpit, and after short
exhortation, he addressed his auditors: "My
brethren, this time twelve months ago told
you all which could be said concerning this
saint. AS [ have not learned that he has
done anything new since that time, I have
nothing to add to what | then related"

Sheen Raising.

We find the following paragraph credited
to the Fredericksburg, Va, Herald:
''The subject being up for discussion be-
fore the Woodlawn (Fairfax) Agricultural
Club, Mr. Walsh was called on to give his
experience as to the proftableness of sheep
raising. Mr. W. said that last fall he pur-
chased fifty ewes for $lS7. He had Oh
hand at the time ten sheep, including pure
Cotswold buck. This season he has sold
wool, lambs and fat sheep, to the amount OF
$500, and had on hand forty sheep, includ-
ing his bucks. Four of his ewes produced
wool, lambs and mutton to the value OF $50.
He keeps large dog, which protects his
flock from other dogs"
We reproduce this item, not for the bere-
fit of this particular section of the State,
but for those parts where sheep may be
more proftably raised The figures speak
an emphatic language. We hope our up
country friends who raise sheep will thank
God and take courage because one man has
given the business fair trial and made a
success. The raising of sheep costs less
than any other industry we know Of They
require little or no feeding from hand, OF
other care Wilmington Star.
But how can our farmers succeed in rals
ing sheep while thousands of worthless
ours are allowed to roam at large and prey
upon them with impunity? We want al
act by the Legislature extirpating the use
less and ravenous CANNES and then we may
expect to see our hillsides covered with
f1eecy focks, and our farmers remunerated
with profitable income therefrom.

A BIRD LAw.-Like contributor to
the State Agricultural Journal we advocate
the passage of a stringent law prohibiting
the killing of birds for certain period, or
the limitation of such killing to certain
months. Soon all of our beautiful singers
and useful auxiliaries in the war with in
sects will be gone. They should be re-
tanned. Let the sportsman be restrained,
and these little feathered friends will not
be lost to our forests and fields. The Leg
slature should enact rigorous bird law

Two K1Nps.-There are two kinds of
girls: one is the kind that appears best
abroad, the girls that are good for parties,
visits, ball, &C., and whose chief delight is
in such things. The other is the kind that
appears best at home, the girls that are use
full and cheerful in the dining room, the sick
room, and all the precincts of home. They
differ widely in character. One is frequent
ly torment at home; the other blessing.
One is moth, consuming everything about ut
and gladness all along the pathway. Now
it does not necessarily follow that there
shall be two classes Of girls. The right
modification would modify both a little,
and unite their characters in one.

Boys Wanted.

Boys of spirit, boys of will,
Boys of muscle, brain, and power.
Fit to cope with anything
These are wanted every hour.
Not the weak and whining drones,
That all troubles magnify
Not the watchword of 81 can't"
But the nobler one, "I'll try"
Do whate'er you have to do
With a true and earnest zeal;
Bend your sinews to the task
Put your shoulders to the wheel.
Though your duty may be hard,
Look not on it as an i'll;
If it be an honest task,
Do it with an honest will
At the anvil, or the farm,
Wheresoever you may be
From your future efforts, boys,
Comes a nations destiny.

New MEXICo.-The Senate may kill
the bill that has passed the House for
making new state of this territory. The
population in 1870 was 9l,S74 and is now
variously estimated at 100000 and more,
up to 10000. A large share of the in
habitants are ''greasers," Mexicans who
are ignorant of the political virtues that
shine in this glorious republic. The New
York Times does not like the idea of the
new state "Of all the territories it
says, :. New Mexico is, perhaps, least fitted
by the character of its population for adj
mission, and the general interests of the
country demand that it shall be kept in its
present condition until that character has
very materially changed
