And now shall we believe that the foundations
are breaking upi Shall We believe that men
who, 10 these many years, have closed their eyes
to the truth, and ignored the right way of living
have suddenly come to their senses' We are led
TO ask these questions on account OF the marriage
to be found in this paper-of an old Augusta
printer long and most tavorably known to the
fraternity in and out of the State, from Maine to

recovering FROM their preliminary surprise, will
send glad greetings and congratulations to the
blushing bridegroom. The Doctor has known
what it is to have patience, and to stand up to tue
rack, fodder or no fodder" We have summered
and wintered with him nearly a quarter of
century, and about the only bad habit he had was
the habit of getting along TIN ough this lonesome
world without wife the disease of bachelorhood
seemed to have Mcome chronic; companions and
fellow work men and chums have passed off the
stage of action rejoicing in what they supposed to
be single blessedness, but it was singular misery !;
and the Doctor seemed to be following on in their
footsteps. But the recent matrimonial alliances
entered upon in this office, where printer after
printer, male and female, were choosing their
companions for life; when he began to "fgger
up" and ascertain that within ten years past,
seventeen persons employed in the Journal office
have committed matrimony, 1t seemed to him that
be must Strike now or never. So, nerving him
self for one mighty effort, the Doctor joins the
ranks of those who have entered upon the only
true life, We bid him welcome to the happy cir
