MARRIAGE.


The following is translation from
a German paper. The sentiment is
good, and we give it for the benefit
of our young readers:
Marriages are usually contracted
to crafty one of three desires, viz:
love, fortune or position.
sThe man who marries for love,
takes wife; who marries for for
tune, takes mistress; who marries
tor position, takes a lady. He is
loved by his wife; regarded by his
mistress; tolerated by his lady. He
has wife for himself; mistress for
his household; lady for the world
and society.
His wife will take care of his
household; his mistress of his house;
his lady Of his appearances. If he
is sick his wife will take care of him ;
his mistress will visit him; his lady
will inquire after his health. He
takes a walk with his wife; ride
with his mistress; goes to . party
with his lady. His wife will share
his grief; his mistress his money;
his lady his debts. II he dies, his
wife will weep; his mistress lament;
and his lady wear mourning"

A LIFE RIDDLE SOLVED.

Once upon time, the converse
ton having turned in presence OF
DIR. Franklin, upon riches, and
young person in the company hav-
ing expressed his surprise that they
ever should be attended with such
anxiety and solicitude, instancing
one of his acquaintance, who
though in possession of unbounded
wealth, yet was as busy and more
anxious than the most assiduous
CLERK in his counting house: the doc
tor took an apple from fruit bas-
ket and presented it to little child,
who could just totter about the
room. The child could scarcely
grasp it in his hand. He then gave
it another, which, occupied the other
hand. Then choosing a third, re-
markable in respect to size and
beauty, he presented that also. The
child, after many Intellectual attempts
to hold the three, dropped the last
on the carpet, and burst into tears.
"See there's" said the philosopher;
"there is little man with more
riches than he can entoyw

A WATER AND TIMBER JOB.
California Capitalists Surveying
Tahoe Out of Nevada.

Three surveys have been made of
the State line between Nevada and
California in the neighborhood of
Lake Tahoe, and each time a slice
of the lake has been taken from
Nevada, until now about two-thirds
Of it is in California. The "elbow"
of the boundary line is about two
miles out from Glenbrook. This
change in territory was evidently
made in the interests of California
capitalists who had designs upon
the pure and beautiful waters of the
"Gem of the Sierras;" and to fur
Their their own schemes had the line
run so as to give California the
greater part of the lake, and thus
secure the best right to it. Hitherto
all projects to appropriate the water
have failed; but day may come
when company powerful enough
to build an irrigation canal to the
California plains, will pounce upon
the lake, and then the Truckee river
will be shut off, our extensive irri-
CATION system be useless and gener-
al drouth the natural result. This
State line matter should be looked
into and righted before it is too late.
