MEIER MARRY A MAN WHEN HE'S
BROKE.

" 4
BROKE.
Wisdom is oft to be founi
In wise men as well as in fools,
And advice like mushrooms will come up
Sometimes in spite OF all rules.
So pause in my dinner to say
The very best truth ever spoke,
Ifyou think you must marry at all
Never marry man when he's broke
When you marry rou marry for life
Unless you CAN get divorce,
The direction OF marriage oft takes,
In spite of all things, rough course.
The strong oak may bear up the vine,
But the vine will not bear up the oak,
SO remember this whisper OF mine
Never marry q man when he's broke.
You may dine upon love, but you'll find
That at night you will sup upon grief.
Tou will see that your supper is long,
While yoiirdinner may be very brief.
Money will buy what love can't.
Although the philosophers croak,
So you better go visit your aunt
Than to marry man when he's broke.
4 man may be broken in health,
A man may be broken in hope,
But man that is broken in wealth
Has got to the end OF his rope.
His affections may be above par,
But overly is apt to provoke.
There Is Always a premium on gold
Never marry s man when he's broke.
A young man may pay his respects.
But that's about all he can pay;
House furniture calls for the cash,
Though love runs on interest away.
\ say, though YOU never may heed
This truth which to swallow may chok e,
'Contentment depends upon pence
Never marry a man when he's broke.
True love is said to be long,
But not when the money is short:
Affection pleasure may be,
But adversely never is sport.
A heart full It feeling is fine,
But purse full Of moth .ng's no Joke;
So remember this maxim of mine
Never marry man when he's broke.

1T WoRKED.--A gentleman who has just
returned westward from Washington, and
whom tile Columbus (Ohio) State Journal
vo,ches Tor, gives this little incident:
On the West-b und train from Baltimore,
was a rampant Democratic fire-eater, who
lived near Tallahassee, Florida. A friend OF
his who L. # the train at Harper's Ferry, Vir-
ginia, occupied the same seat with him.
They discl ussed the political situation loudly
and sueges lively. Among other things OF a
similar imp ort, the Floridian said, with much
profanity
''Yes-'m, we fixed 'em down our way.
We corralel every niger we could in sheds
and outbuiltlings the day before the election.
and kept g,lar.! over them all night. In the
morning we put a Democratic ticket into
every nigger's hand and told him to vote it.
No, we didn't intlmi'late them! No, sir
But we gave 'enl plainly to understand that
every ticket was marked, and Il they wert
not all voted, every niger would soon learn
the consequences"

ry man.

BUTTER IN FRANCE.--If Our dairynen
need spur, an eye opener, a lesson which
speaks volumes in three words, here is one at
the head OF this article. Butter is actually
brought from France and sold by New York
dealers. Aud this is because there is an ac-
tnal scarcity in the market of good butter,
put up In an attractive shape for small con-
sumers. When we know that one dairyman
gets 81 Is pound for his products. anotll-
-rsl, and another seventy-fye cents the year
round, at his dairy door, it is easily seen that
it will pay to bring butter across the ocean
from France, If this is only good and shape
ly enough to suit the fastidious purchasers
VINO will have something nice, whatever it
may cost. All this butter is made from choice
lows. choiceiy fed on clean sweet food; the
milking in the cleane$s manner. The milk
Is handled as carefully As tIiplgh it were nee
Jar, the cream is cllurned with clock and tler-
lnometer, The butter is worked with skill,
and is made up in slapely cakes, which do
not require to be cut when brought to the
table. Compare, then, this cake-hard, gold
en- yellow, sweet, fragrant and tempting to
all the senses-with an unsightly chunk,
which is cut out OF a greasy key, and smells
of old age and rancidity, and is made from
ll-kept cream from cows filthy lodged and
carelessly MIXED, and is churned anyhow,
and the difference is amply accounted for

Corn and Hogs.

From carefully conducted experiments by
different persons. it has been a-cprtaiiltd
that one bushel OF corn will make little more
than ten pounds Of pork gross. Taking the
result az basis, tile following deduction are
made which all our farmers would do well to
lay by for q convenient reference, that
When corn sells at 121 cents per bushe
pork costs II cent per pound.
When corn costs II cents per bus!,el, pork
costs cents per pound.

WheE corn costs 80 cents per bustel, pork
costs A cents per pound
When corn costs 80 cents per bushe. pork

The following statements show what the
farmer realizes on his corn when sold in the.
terms Of pork %
When pork sells at cents per pound, it
brings % cents per busliel in corn.
When pork sells at cents per pound, it

Vermont and the Centennial.
FAIRHAvEN, VT, Jan,

FAIRHAvEN, VT, Jan. 81.
Edit0r Rutland Globe Il have read
with interest the polite, but frank and en-
phatlc statement to the public of the com.
missioners, through their chairman, Mr..
Baxter, and you will allow me, while ex.
honorate them, to thank them at least for
their efforts (though fruitless) to have the
state honorably represented at Philadel-
phia, at the great and glorious centennial.
At the last session of the general assem-
bly,, being present, happen to known that,
in the lower branch, at least, this subject
did not escape the attention of the leading
members, but was spoken of and considered
by such men MS Hon. Josiah Grout, Pitt
w. Hyde and others, and, at the close of
the session, an attempt was made to have
some action taken upon it, but it was with
the legislature then as it was with the peo-
pie, too remote to receive the attention or
forecast its importance and it is doubt
full, indeed, il any action could have been
had favorable to the measure.
do not know as this was peculiar or
singular, but the rather, in my judgment,
one of the beauties of the biennial system.
Most Of states, having annual sessions,
have the advantage of Vermont, as the sub
ject has since been agi'a'ed and grown in
importance, and appropriate measures
could be taken and bountiful appropria-
tons are being made daily, in proportion
to their enterprise and state pride, to place
their states, at least favoraby, if not con-
spicuously, at the centennial.
These movements leave Vermont, which
should be foremost, sadly in the rear. A
proper appreciation, Il due sense of the
situation, led to converting the leading
business men, men of sound judgment and
OF marked enterprise, and board of com
mlssioners was appointed to devise means
and ways, and they, in the absence of any
Legislative action without stopping to in
quire whether that was right or wrong
deemed it important that n special
session OF the legislature should be
called, and took such evidence Ia
the governor as must have convinced
Governor Peck as an individual or iudpe
however discerning or astute, that an extra
session of the legislature was desired by
The great majority of the people. What
evidence is necessary to come before him
as governor is hard to conceive Ms 10 This
we observe he keeps his own council
There is no Disgusting the fact that if Yer
mont ever has occasion to regret that she
took no part in this great centennial exh.
btion (Which she most assuredy will. as
the sun rises,) the responsibility will Law at
the feet of the governor, and here let il
rest. 1t is idle to expect in the face of
this executive snub which has so chilled
and p,ralyzed all the ardor embodied in the
commission, say ii is idle to expect any
other movement, individual or collective, to
be followed by success. With a sound
treasury, her people with hands lied, de-
handing action, governor with the hits
In bis teeth, the attitude of Vermont, il 1t
were not ridiculous, would he deplorable.

rebuke, subscribe myself,
