josh Billings ON Marriage.

History held its TONGUE as to who the
pair wus who first put on the silken
harness, and promised to work kind to
it, through thick and thin, up hill and
down, and on the level, rain or shine,
survive or perish, sink or swim, down
or fote.
But wotever they wuz, they must
have made a good thing of it, or so
many of their posterity would not have
harnessed up since and drove out.
There is a great moral grip to mar
riage it is the morter that holds them
together.
But there amt but few phoks who
put their money in matrimony who
could set down and give a good written
opinum viii on arth they come to did
it.
This is a CRATE proof that it is one oV
them natral kind ov accidents that must
happen, Jest as birds fly out ov the nest,
when they have feathers enuff, without
being able to tell why.
Sum may marry for buty, and never
diskoyer their mistake; this is lucky.
Sum marry for money, and don't see
it.
Sum marry bekase they have been
histed sum where else; this is a cross
match, bay and sorrel; pride may
make it endurable.
Sum marry for luv without n cent in
their pocket, nor friend in the world,
nor a drop of pedigree. This looks
desperate, but it is the strength of the
game.
If marrying for Iuv amt success then
matrimony is dead beet.
Sum marry because they think VIM
men will be scarce next year, and live
to wonder how the crop holds out.
Sum marry to get rid ov themselves,
and discover that the game was one that
two could play at, and neither win.
Sum marry the second time to get
even, and find it gambling game the
more they put down the less they take
up.
Sum marry they can't tell why, and
live they can't tell how.
Almost everybody gots married, and
it is a good Joke.
Sum marry coquetts. This is like
buying poor farm heavily mortgaged,
and working the balance Ov your days
to clear off the mortgages.
Married life has its chances, and this
is jusC what gives it its flavor. Every
body loves to phool with the chances,
bekause everybody expexts to win. But
am authorized tew state that every
body don't win.
But, after all, married life il full az
certain az dry goods biziness.
No man can swear exactly where he
viii fetch up when he touches calico.
Kuo man kan tell iist what calico haz
made up its mind tew do next.
Calico don't kno even herself.
Dry goods of all kinds Is the child ov
c.rcumstansis.
Sum never marry, bat this IL Just sz
risky; the disease IL the same, with an
other name to it.
The man who stands on the bank
shiyering, and dassent, IL more apt to
ketch cold than him who pitches hiz
head fust into the river.
There IL but few who never marry be-
kauss they wout-they all banker and
most ov them starve with bread before
them (spread on both sides,) iist for the
lack of grit.
Marry young is my motto.
have tried it, and know what am
talking about.
Marriage IL a safe way to gamble-if
WI win, yu win pile, and if You loze,
yu don't loze anything, only the privi-
lege of living dismally alone, and soak
ing your own feet.
There is hut one excuse for a marriage
late in life, and that ia second mar
riage.

WHEN THE SONGS GONE OUT OF YOUR
LIFE.

'' When the songs gone ont Of your life, you can
start auother while it's a-ringing IN your ear bJ
It's best to have bit Of silence and out o. that ma
be psalmu come bY-and-bY.-Ed,rard Garrett.
When the songs gone Cut of your life,
That you thought would last to the end,
That first sweet song of the heart,
That No sitter days can lend
The song Of the bird to the trees,
The song Of the wind to the flowers,
The song that the heart sings low to itself
When it wakes in LIES morning hours:
Hou can start no other song"
Not even a tremulOus note
Will falt6r forth on the empty ar,
1t Cies in your aching throat.
It is all in vain that you try,
For the spirit Of song has fed
The nightingale sings no more 10 the rose
When the beautiful flower is dead.
So let silence Foftly fal1
On the bruised hearts quivering strings:
Perhaps from the loss Of all you may learn
The song that the scrap. sings;
grand and glorious psalm
That viii tremble, and rise aud thrill,
And your breast With its grateful rest
And Us lonely yearnings still.

A. Il. STEWART AS A MAsTER. Bur
leigh" writes to a Boston journal /:
Stewart runs his store on the detective
system. Each man feels that he is un-
der the eye of some one-that he is
watched-and no one disguises the
annoyance this fact gives him. I was
IN the store one day, and in conversa-
tion with an employee. 1t was not a
busy time, and all hands seemed to be
laying off. Some lounged, some leaned,
one or two sat at the boxes. In a
moment the scene in the store changed;
all came to attention, sharp. No one
was seen-no enc spoke. Each man
was erect the loungers came to their
feet; there was not an idler in the
store. In moment Stewart came in
from his little coupe on the curb stone.
He spoke TO no one, bowed to no one,
seemed to recognize no one. ue gave a
sharp glance right and left, and went
up stairs. Did you see that glance ?"
said the clerk 'he saw every one of us.
and could tell what each was doing
While Stewart remained not man Iaid
off," -''-''

Mrs. JOHNSON, relict of the deceased
statesman, lies seriously ill at the resi-
dence Of her daughter, Mrs. Brown, in
Carter county, and is not expected long
to survive the shock occasioned by her
husbands death. Those cognizant of
the deep devotion of this self-forgettinp
and retiring wife, will be most alarmed
at her present illness.

CARLYLE.-A correspondence of the San
Francisco Chronicle, who has been visit
ing Carlyle. writes ''The pictures in our
country of Carlyle are not very good /;
he has not the wrinkled visage and the
thought-weary, almost unhappy, ex-
preston generally seen in them, but
rather the friendly, happy look so apt
to characterize the old age of a we'll
spent life. His thick head of hair is
not entirely whitenCa his blue eve is
form is thin and feeble, and the con-
tinual trembling of his hand must in
terfere greatly, if not entirely, with the
use of his pen. Expecting our visit, his
eyes and whole face lighted up with a
smile of welcome as he entered the
room, extending both hands in greet
ing. His first words, after those of
welcome, were of singular beauty and
appropriateness. They were a quota
tion from his own fa7orite Ossian, in
reply to my companions congratulation
on his apparent good health. Yes,
but age is dark and unlovely.' The
almost solemn sadness of the tone in
which he spoke the words changed to
cheerfuIDess as he Immediately added
But ought not to complain, and the
to vivacity as thought and reminiscenc
followed each otherin uninterrupted flow
1t was quite wonderful to recall how
much he had said in our short visit.
BE knew that we had come 10 see and
hear a great man, and he paid us the
compliment of putting as much of him
self as possible into our half hour with
him."

THE WOMB IS MovNa. --Gambetia
and Rouher are universally Rcknowl.
edged in France to be the two chiet
antagonists for power. The first is the
head of the republican, aud the second
of the imperial party. Buffet and Mac
Mahon are the men of straw, polihcaily
speaking, whose short hour OF rule is
destined to fade as a leaf. IN all Euro
pean countries, as in the United States,
there are but two real, live parties. In
England, republicanisn is contendlng
with feudal aristOcracy, and IN France
Rainst autocratic tyranny, represented
by the Napoleonic empire. In Ger
many and Italy, mainly preoccupied
with their newly acquired national IN
dependence, there exist in an nctivta
state only the party OF unionists ena
the abettors Of the old territorial divi-
sions, headed by the dispossessed
princes and Rome; IN Austria
and Russia, it is the party OF
progress against the party OF OLD IDEAS
And so on with the minor and insi MIL
cant continental countries. tn World
Is moving, and straw men are becoming
Of less account.

DELICATE RELATIONS BrTwEEN CHINA

China and Japan 10 Russia are delicate.

taken by Mussulmans in 1866. Part OF
this territory has since fallen into the
hands Of Russia, and was visited by
Eugene Schuyler, the American seere-
tary of legation at st. PsieTsbuTRi
The rest will probably be recovered 10y

IT ID melancholy sign of the univer-

forsaking farm work, that, even in q
period when the dullness of manufac-
lures and trade leaves thousands unem-

sufficient help cannot be obtained to

PRICES OF TRoTTERs. - Generally
speaking, the value of a trotter is the
price that he will bring or sell for. But
there is a great variety and difference
of opinion concerning his actual market
value (viewed from another stand point
than the law laid down above), and those
of less value often touch long figures.
In an exchange of letters with down
east hOrseman, he holds forth the fol-
lowing: Horses are worth here Of
not over z years old, fresh, sound and
green, 49, to Is hands,, that can trot in
$50, not less than 81, 200. This in-
cludes good style, good disposition, and
with an easy mouth. Speed Of 2:45,
with the same qualities as named above,
worth 81, 500; 2:40 speed, worth 81, 500;
235, 81, 500; 2:30, $1,000 TO So, 900
2:25, $4,000 to S13, 600; 2.2l, S25, GOO
(price paid for hopefuD; 2:17, $50, 0OC.
Now these prices are for first class
goods, and any deviation from it lowers
the price" We are inclined to think
that these prices are rather high, though
it depends go much upon the individual
quality of the horse as to prevent u cor
rect estimate being given until We see
them go and do it, and their mode and
manner. Turf, Field and Farm.
THE FATE OF THE TRADE DOLLAR
It was a stroke of policy on the part of
our government to devise in the trade
dollar a coin which should compete
with the Mexican dollar and eventually
/ drive it almost out of the Chinese mar
ket. After reaching that country it en-
/ counters an almost ignOminIeus fate.
| The Chinese send it to India for the
purchase of opium. They go into the
| Calcutta mint and come out as rupees,
which are stamped with the native char
acters on one side and the value
of the piece en- the other. The trade
/ of China with India in opium exceeds
| that of all other commodities, as Is
/ shown by the reports of the Chinese
/ custom service. The amount returned
for the last eight years, exclusive of the
/ amount smuggled, which would prob
ably double It, is 81, 440, $50 pounds.
| The amount of American silver which
annually goes to India from China to
/ pay for opium is immense. 4 base use
/ for so beautiful a scoin as the trade
| dollar, surely.-,SaH francisco cal.

THE stockholders of tie Augusta
cotton factory have resolved upon the
issuance of bonds to the extent of
$4,000 As this concern has hitherto
been believed to be the most successful
cotton manufacturing establishment in
the south, the fact that it is compelled
to borrow money on SO large a scale
looks rather discouraging for the imme-
diato future of that industry.

THE difficulty of recovering any thing
from Boss Tweed and his associates may
be seen from the fact that, of the l51
vouchers on which warrants were issued,
III of them have been stolen, and the
plaintiff is required to produce the
stolen vouchers and bills attached, and
specify which portion of them is fraud
ulont. As the bills cannot be repro
duced, the dilemma is apparent. The
pluudarcrs seem to be safe.
