love.

We find the following clever de-
scription in an old Magazine:
Glove is like the devil, because it
torments; like Heaven, because it
wraps the soul in bliss; like salt, be-
cause it is relishcd; like pepper, be-
cause it often sets on fire; like sugar,
because it is sweet; like a rope, be-
cause it is often the death of man;
like a prison, because it makes one
miserable; like wine, because it
makes man happy; like a man, be,
cause it is here to-day and gone to-
morrow; like woman, because there
is no getting rid of it; like a beacon,
because it guides one TO the wished
for port; like u will-o-th-wisp, because
it often leads one into the bog; like
u fiery courser, because it often runs
away with one; like n little pony,
because it ambles nicely with one;
like the bite of mad-dog, or the
kiss of pretty woman, because they
both make a man run mad; like a
goose, because it is silly; like rab.
bit, because there is nothing like it
in a word, like a ghost, because it
is like everything and like nothing
often talked about, but neycrseen
touched or understood"
Love is like-woll, it is like love.
You know how it is yourself.

The Sex.

The other day a slippery-elm sort
of young man wasted half an hour
in Detroit gallery in trying to beat
down the price of a tintype, and paid
the regular price at last only after
an agreement that his ears should be
taken as small as possible, and that
his lack of mustache should be sup.
piled by the brush Of the operator,
When the negative was handed him
he was a mind to order five hundred
copies at once, but prudence prevail
ed, and he carefully slid up to an old
woman who was washing the front
windows and asked:
"Does that ere look like q states
man, or only like common plug Of
Il fellow"
"Beautiful-bcautiful" she whis-
porcd as she closely scanned the pic
ture.
4That settles that" he said as he
turned to the operator. "The sex is
the sex the world over. She's only
an old scrub-woman, but her hearts
located under the same rib that a
gals is. Where she sees tone in a
pictur gal will go into raptures
over it. Go ahead and cast me a
hull do2en!"

Perlls of lI,e Tlne.

The first danger threatening young
men, said a lecturer, was shallow
ness, the result of the great hustle
and intense activity Of the times in
which we live. In the multiplicity
Of business they fail to perfect them
selves in any one thing, and thus
make the full development Of indi-
vidual capacity impossible. He adj
vised young men to be masters, at
least, of something, Another dan
ger arose from amisconception OF the
true clements of success. Money is
too often associated with the ideal of
success, and false notions prevail on
the subject of gentility. He had
been informed that throughout New
England at the present time it is ex-
tremoly difficult to persuade young
men to become mechanics, farmers
or laborers. They are all filed with
the idea that by going to the big
cities, and on Wall street, or similar
places, they are somehow very soon
to make large fortunes. This is an
unhealthy condition Of affairs. He
noticed when his church was repair
ed that the workmen were foreign
ors, many of whom received from So
to 81 a day, whereas many well edu'
Gated young men are very glad to get
employment at $40 a week. Il
wealth and gentility are the CHIEF
objects of work, then soon will arise
u disposition to attain them at any
means. All honest work is honorable

married my wife about thirty
five years ago. The ceremony was
performed about seven o'clock in the
morning. Before retiring that even
ing we had good talk with each 9th
er, and the result has sweetoned our
entire lives. We agreed that each
should always be watchful and care
full, never by word or act, hurt the
feelings of the other. We were both
young, hot.tempered, both positive
in our likes and dislikes, and both
somewhat exacting and infexiblc-
Just the material for a life of conju'
gal warfare. Well, for few years
we found it hard work to always live
by our agreement, Occasionally (not
often) a word or look would slip of
the tongue or face before it could be
suppressed; but we never allowed the
sun to go down upon our wrath BE-
fore retiring at night on such occas'
ions there was always confession and
forgiveness, and the culprit wouldbe'
come more careful in the future,
Our tempers and dispositions be-
came gradually more congenial, 50
that after II few years we came to be
one in reality, as the martial cere'
mony had pronounced us nominally
In thinking back we find that fol-
more than twenty years our little
agreement has been unbroken, and
there has been no occasion for con-
fcssion and forgiveness, In business
we have had adversely and prospcri'
ty, failure and success. We raised u
family of children about us, and VIC
are simple enough to believe that we
have better children, and better
grandchildren because Of our little
agreement. Under such a contract
rcligiously kept, noill.naturcd child
ron will be reared, and no boys will
find the streets and bar-rooms more
pleasant than home. TO makoa good
wife or u good husband requires the
cooperation of both.

Our State contains 100000 acres
of land, Of which 100000 acres are
in the native forest. Some OF these
lands are rich in coal, iron orc and
other minerals; others are valuable
chiefly for their fine timber-espec-
ially Inc hard woods-now becoming
scarce; Others for their fertile and
arabic soil, and others on account Of
the excellent grapes which they pro-
duce spontaneously.
Until within very recent period
the current Of immigration has been
flowing steadily to the far west seem
ingly unconscious that there was
anything east of the Mississippi to
arrest il.
The exhibit made by this State at
the Centennial, did much to attract
public attention to her great unde-
veloped resources. Recently, the
press throughout the country have
recognized the merits of our State as
a desirable home for worthy and in
dustrious immigrants. We are in
formed that capitalists contemplate
the purchase of large tracts OF land
in several of the counties in the in
terror of the State to be sold upon
favorable terms in small farms, to
persons of limited means and who
will at once become actual letters.
We are advised, too, that an effort
is now being made, with reasonable
prospect of success, to organize a col
ony ofScandinavians to settle in this
State and engage in farming, grazing
and the lumber business. We have
no doubt that such an enterprise
would succeed.
These persons are, as a class, hon,
est, amiable, and industrious and
would find here a desirable climate,
and region well suited to their
tastes and training. They very soon
become Americanized, except in one
particular. They do not acquire q
a taste for politics and a love Of of
flee. A strong infusion Of such an
element would not be deleterious tc
the West Virginian who is "to the
manner born"
We bespeak for these strangers
when they come amongst us, a cor
dial welcome, and which we know
they will receive, and we venture
suggestion to those who have unim
proved lands to sell: offer your land:
at the lowest price at which you can
afford to sell them, and sell none, as
to the titles or boundaries of which
there will be q controyersy.-RcgtSter
A New EMPIRE IN TIE Wat
The New York Herald publishes 9
letter from the great Valley of the
Yellowstone, showing that immigra
ton is pouring into that country
from all sections. The wigwam Of
the Indian has given place tc
churches and schools and stores and
newspaper offices. At Tongue River
where General Miles was encamped
in 1861, there is town Of nearly
one thousand inhabitant. The bat

The Chicago convention to en-

hopeful sign. The Mississippi valley
will never be prosperous until the
Cult of Mexico is white with the

drag in the mire of poverty, win
teen with wealth. The gaze Of far
seeing men have been turned long
