NatrimOny and Fast Young wen.

The pastor Of a church in one of our
large cities said not long ago: 81 have

that the bride vas running an awful risk.
Young men of bad habits and fast tend

pure, sweet women, keep from the touch
OF evil through the years of their girl
hood, give themselves, with all their cost.

but one way out of this that can see

the country-to require IN association and

To DE CONTINUED.

We clip the following sensible editorial
from the Courier-Journal, and commend
it to the citizens of Ohio county for con,
sideration:
Zone OF the too>much>neglected duties
which every good citizen owes to his fam.
lily aud to the community in which he
lives is to aid as far as be can in support
ing his county paper, for that paper can
do more to promote the moral, intellectual
and material interests of his county than
any or all other agencies. Show us a
county which literally supports a good
newspaper and we will show you county
whose people are intelligent, enterprising
and prosperous. A good newspaper -four.
ishes only where the people of the county
are known abroad for their intelligence,
their enterprise and their prosperity in
all the pursuits of life. About the best
county to move from is one which does
not support or supports but indiherently,
its newspaper. About the best county to
move into is one which does support, aud
supports literally, its newspaper. Take
for example, the county of Barren
which we name half at random and half
for the reason that its newspaper, the
Glasgow Times, gives such unmistakable
evidences of the very liberal support 1t re
ceives-and where will you find a coun-
ty in the State where people are more in
telligeut aud prosperous, or which sends
abroad more useful men2 Every citizen
OF Barren is proud Of his county, and

newspaper to make it a county of which

everybody knows, is one OF the Invest.

4 Young Girls Love.

What has woman to give more precious
to man than the love of young, confd-
ing, and uususpecting heart? Full of
life impressed with Consciousness Of her
owp purity and devotion, she pours forth
all the treasures of her thought at mans
feet; she plans happy future; she fan.
cies she hears the Joyous tones OF infant
voices in the distant horizon of her life
sweep past like the tone OF a distant bell;
she places her little joys in them-the
happiness they must afford her. In fan
ey she rears them 10 brilliant positions;
she makes them all like herself good aud
pure; she gives them her thoughts; she
inspires them with her own elevated SEN
'iments, aRd the husband Of her choice
with uEdyiug love and tenderness.

and by her legislation, not only violated
her compact o. separation with Virginia,
but approached the very borders of in
justice 10 non-resident land holders, by
the extreme measures resorted to in her
limitation and occupying claimant laws,
which produced conflicts between the
State and Federal courts. The excite>
ment soon wore oil, and Kentucky and
her suffering citizens, submitted to the
superior elaine of law and justice, and
time has almost removed the evil and
gwen men an assurance Of their homes.
No portion of the State perhaps suf~
fered more than the people of Ohio coun
". Many Of her best citizens left their
lands and left the county, and many
young men preferred seeking homes else>
where, rather than risk lsnd-titles here,
and many others would have removed
and settled here, but for the had charac-
ter Of our land-titles.
From all these causes. and the contin.
ued migration OF the old hunters and trap
pers TO regions where game was more
p,~ntiful, at the end of a quarter OF a cen
fury after our county was formed, we had
but eighty increased in population.
Everywhere over the county might be
seen old worn out fields and dilapidated
cabins, entirely abandoned. One dollar
per acre was considered n big price for
woodland, aud most Of the cleared lands
were so worn that they were not consid-
cred worth having, as WAS illustrated by
the following story: A very benevolent,
kind>hearted judge, in coming to our
court, was passing by a solitary cabin,
without any other building or fixture, lo>
Gated in the center Of large old field
with not rail in sight At the door OF
the cabin sat long. bony, sun-burnt feI,
. low, in tow linen shirt and trowsers. and

But the good fellow feeling like sympa-

his embarrassment cried out, with the ut

As an evidence OF the value of lands,
and the uncertainty of land titles about
those times il was a notorious fact that a
note gwen for land could scarcely ever he

Educate Girls 20 Work.

The beautiful thing about Christianity
is that it improves the individual man. 1t
elevates the masses through the dissemi-
nation of personal virtues. 1t begins
with one man and in one heart, and re-
forms 1t, and then multiplies this one re-
suit into thousands by the same process.
Religion means the cleansing OF what
now is soiled, the Strengthening of what
now Is crooked, the widening of what is
narrow and cramped ltmeans progress,
development, invention. Il Golden Rule.

a 3Taitien's Love.

Human nature has no essence more
pure, the world knows nothing more
chaste. Heaven has endowed the human
heart with no feeling more holy than the
nascent affection of young virgins soul
The warm language Of sunny South is too
cold to shadow forth even a faint outline
of that enthusiastic sentiment. And
providence has made the richest language
poor in the same respect, because the
depths Of hearts that thrill with love
and emotion, are too sacred for common
contemplation. Yes, the light of a Young
maidens first love breaks dimly, but
beautifully upon her as the silver lustre
of star gimmering through the thiek>
ly woven bower, and the fret blush that
NANTES her cheek as she feels the primes

which a rose leaf might cast upon mar

grow stronger, and the flush deeper-un-

radiates every corner of her heart. and the
crimson glow Of the other sufFuses every
feature of the counteuance.
