as satisfactory as ever.

It removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. 1t gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
BY its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vlgor, preventing badness, and
making the hair grow thick and
strong.

found so effectual or desirable.

Important to Cotton Planters.

To Editors of Bulletin
You will please in:e rt the following
card, to the interest of the merchants
of Bolivar, and planters of Hardeman
and adjoining counties:
There has been a rumor circulated
that the rate of freight on cotton has
been advanced from this point to both
New Orleans and Memphis, which is
incorrect and withoG foundation, and
calculated to induce farmers to carry
their cotton to other points, We would
state that the merchants Of Bolivar will
pay as much for cotton as any of the
adjoining towns, and have ample faoili-
ties for handling oil the cotton tIat may
be brought to this market

Courtship and Marriage.

The query, why do no young men get
married is all aummery. They do get
married, and too much for their own and
the girls good. 1t is all well enough if
they marry wisely, and not too easily, or
in other words, without considering what
they are doing. They court a girl few
months, fill her head with soft nonsense,
fill her dreams with the imaginations of
fancy, paint cottages and love, ignore the
flour barrel and potatoes, and she, poor
tlattered frowsy bird, hops into the cage
he has built for her. Then he awakes.
He fattered himself that he had thought
it all over, and weighed all the conse-
quences, but he did nothing of the kind.
He was not in state OF mind for think
ing seriously of anything. Now he sees
plnching want and semi-starvation ahead
on his small weekly salary, and feverish
restlessness growing out of the fact that
even that salary may be cut off at any
mOnent.
He did not weigh these things at all, or,
if he did, the fancy for the girls pretty
face-Or, admit it, his love for her-fell
into the scale, and the calculation side
kicked the beam. Something ails these
young men. They call it love, but no man
can truly love girl who would be willing
to run the risk of subjecting her to such a
life of haphazard existence. They call it
love, but it is only mixture of fancy and
the restless yearnings of nature, which
simply make them blind and foolish. No
young man with health and good spirits,
and in an assured way of winning in lifei
should say, with Othello: al would not my
free unhoused condition put in circum'
scription and confined for the seas worth,
because such young men should take to
their hearts for life some fitting companion
from the gentler sex. But of those less
prepared young men-how and wheni
Perhaps all the advice that could be cram
med into the columns of paper would
eject but little, for when people get the
matrimonial mania they will marry in
spite of all argument.
The cynical young man is Of the opinioy
that the young ladies show no disposition
to encourage poor young man by hersel
making sacrifices. She is right. She is {

diamond, patent-leather boots, red neck
tie, and switches cane down the avenue
IN the dusk of an evening, that he has
money and can support wife.
1t takes very little love on her part to
teach her arithmetical progression, and
gives her strange ideas of these things. She
does not know that many a young man
dong this, is doing it by draining his purse
OF its last cent, or still worse, drawing on
future salary by doing it on credit. He is
trying to lead $l5 existence on 81 sala-
ry. When the lovers get edging along
toward orange blossoms and white lace, she
may get little anxious to know how well
may ask HIN about his income. Perhaps she

experience, desires the information The
soft eyes, like the unblemished blue of the

lie knows that if he told her the truth,
there would be shrinkage of the value of
her love, so he lodges the question, and
like legislator lays it on the table. Per.
haps he thinks her father will aid them.
She knows that her father can barely meet
his present obligations, and that he has
been straining point in order to keep his
daughter in presentable clothes. And 50
both cheat and when in the delightful
honeymoon the masks are off, there is a
drop of loves thermometer like the thug
OF stone in a well. 1t is all well enough
to talk about sacrifices to secure bliss and
comfort, but the first one should be made
to honesty in the courting days. A lie
may be husbanded for awhile. and even be
made to do terrible execution, but when il
comes to the surface, it brings with it a
CHASTITY train of circumstances.
Each should be thoroughly honest
Stilted talk should be dropped and they
should tell each other the exact pecuniary
conditions. The glamour of love is tran
sient thing, sort Of misty moonshine that
it will melt away when it is to be freighted
with hard pinchings to make both end:
meet. Love in cottage, with bird o.
bright plumage in the love-lit air, is nice
sentiment walking with her under thC
leafng naples, with the first thrill of bird
song in the trees, but the bare, practical
bread-and-butt antagonism of life, which
must be met is another. Better commence
meeting these by sprinkling them intC
the pleasures of the courting days. Do no
keep it penned up to drift into the light o
common day. If you must build cloud
cities with arrowy Ininarets and swellin,
towers, glistening with fretted sunshine
sheen like Macedonian pixies and globes o
flame, then remember that the city shoulC
have its pantry filled with earthly things
Better wait till you can see through tn,

That's held in Philadelphia this season as you know
And the things that damsel and heard the things

Would fill an anchorite with joy, or heart of Nero

And beg to tell the story in her sweet girlish

The loycliest machinery. 50 grand, you know; and
Twas fun to see them working t-those lovely, dirty
Mycavaler went wild with rage because watched

These nobby fellows always are so jealous dear you

The fine art gallery they say is nice as it can be;
But really there was such crowd did MT try to see.
In the Janpanese department I bought me such a

after all,
When ones feathers all get mpsy and ones puffs get

But it really is when all is done, satisfaction, dear
To have been at the Centennial and not seem green
and queer.
And then the silks and flowers, and lovely lace-oh

They make you wild because, you see, they're awful

To see them does expand the mind and give you new

THERE NEVER WAS,

There never was an earthly dream
OF beauty and delight,
That mingled not too soon with clouds
As sunrGys with the night
That faded not from the fond heart
Where once it loved to stay,
And left that heart more desolate
For having felt its sway.
There never was glad bright eye
But it was dimmed with tears.
Caused by such ills that ever duh
The sunshine of our years
We look upon the sweetest flower,
Tis withercd soon and gone;
We gOzed upon star to find
But darkness where it shOne
There never was noble heart,
a mind of worth and power,
That had not in this changing world
Pain and misery for its dover,
The laurel on the brow hath hid
From many a careless eye,
The secret OF the soul within,-
is blight and agony.
There never was, there cannot be,
On earth previous spring,
Where waters to the fcyercd lip
Unfailing we may bring
All changeth on his troubled shore,
Or passeth from the sight
Oh for that world where joy and peace
Reign as eternal light

A Happy Couple.

A writer, who thinks he knows, fixes it
up this way:
A man should always be little older, a
little braver, a little stronger, and a
little wiser, and a little more in love with
her than she is with him. woman should
always be little younger, and little
prettier, and little moro considcrate than
her husband. lie should bestow upon her
his worldly goods, and she should take
good care Of them. He may owe her every
care and tenderness that affection can
prompt; but pecuniary indebtness to her
will be burden. Better live on a crust
that he earns, than fortune she has
brought him. Neither must be Jealous nor
give the other cause for jealousy-neither
must encourage sentimental friendships
with the opposite sex. Perfect confidence
in each other, reticence concerning their
mutual affairs, even to members, CT their
own families, is a first necessity. A wife
should dress herself becomingly whenever
she expects to meet her husbands eye.
The man should not grow slovenly, even
st home. Faultfnding, long arguments Of
scolding ends the happiness that begins in
kisses and love making. Lovers are lovers
no longer after disturbances occur, and
married people who are not lovers are
bound by red hot chains. If man adj
mires his wife most in calico, she is silly
not to wear it.
