LOVE can excuse anything except
meanness; but meanness kills love and
cripples natural affection.
The commencement and the decline
of love may be recognized by the en-
barrassment we feel at finding ourselves
alone with the beloved.

GENERAL WALKER, Superintendent
OF the Census at Washington, proposes
to secure very important items-of vital
statistics by sending to every physician
in the country book containing twenty
blank forms and page of explanation,
Tor the purpose of having them for
ward to Washington the number of
patients that have died during the year
who were under their charge. The New
York Commerciai thinks General Walker
will never be able to obtain reliable in
formation Of the number of deaths in
the way he proposes. Doctors who are
unfortunate are not going to advertise
to the world how many people they
kill.

The following was evidently uttered
by true farmer: "The country home
can be made very pleasant by fixing up
the yards and houses more than they
are now. Farmers should be without
debts, and then they can make farm
life very pleasant. The farmer should
read and study several hours every day.
He should have good laborers, and have
them understand that his interest is
theirs. Plenty of reading matter should
be kept on hand at all times. Instead
of straight lines about the place devote
more space to landscape gardening. The
keeping of good stock will always add
to the pleasure of farming. Farmers
should get out and interchange views
with each other"

GA lady faire" writes that flirting
is worse in man than in woman, "be'
cause his position makes him in a
greater sense master Of his situation.
She adds: There is no sin more in
tolerable and baser than to imply, by
all the language Of eye and touch, and
intimate attention, that a man has the
tenderest regard for a woman that he
has no thought of making his wife,
knowing all the time that he is awak'
ening feelings and heart-throbs to
which be can never respond. Wo'
men have no redress. Men know
themselves safe; for women can have
no real claim until asked to become
a wife. Thus, while a foudness ha'
been aroused. waiting for an expected
declaration, women find themselves
suddenly thrust aside. To be sure
one is fortunate to be deserted by sucl
a coward with the soul ola pick-pock
ct; but then does it not leave its mari
on her life PATH"

The question has been raised wheth-
er, if we should have only late rains,
there would still be time for a wheat
crop % mature in this State. The
number Of days required for the full
maturity Of wheat depends somewhat
on soil. aud more on climate. Some
large ranchers in the vicinity Of Gray
son, one Of the dryest parts in the
State, last year sowed field Of wheat
in March. The rains came immedi'
ately aflerward. In eighty days from
that time the reaper was running In
that field, cutting down wheat which
averaged about twenty bushels to the
acre. The soil was probably Of a
light, porous character, and the heat
was great enough for the quickest
gruwth. Nov, ifin the last part Of
March there should be an abundant
rainfall, there would be time for
wheat crop ghich would be pretty
certain to mature il there should b
later rains. II is true that we are IL
the last half of January, with yer,
little rain. A great deal of whea
which has been sOwn has not sprouted
and will not until there is more mois
ture. In some instances fields vii
need resolving, the grain ha wing start
ed and afterward died out. But, oil
the whole, up to the middle of Janu
AIRY the season has not been more IN
promising than tor the corresponding
weeks Of last year.-[san Franeisc

Of the separation was that letters be-

there was silence.
The years pass on; he grew rich and
influential, completed his studies and
became a noted physician Of one Of
the largest California cities; he mar

meeting in the snow-storm, he dream

Lovers yuarrels arise from different
causes; some times from mere intensi.
~ Of affection making undue exac-
tons, and atothers from causes which.
properly understood and appreciated,
would warn the parties Of the impos-
sibility Of their ever living happily
together.
For instance, n young man who is
engaged, finds his afiianced very jeal-
Gus. Whenever they meet other la
dies in society, she treats him with
great GOODNESS. This chills his ardor,
and makes him discontinued, so much
so that he is in doubt about marrying
her at all. He has, in fact, come TO
the conclusion that IL he believed she
would treat him after marriage in the
sane way she does now, he would
never marry her.
As general proposition, il may be
laid down that persons will not change
essentially after marriage. A belief
that they would has been the cause Of
countless unhappy marriages. They
will be just about the same after as
before, and, II any thing, little more
likely togive way to strong, natural
proclivities, or peculiarities Of temper.
II you would not marry a young
woman, provided you believe she
would continue to be as she now is,
without any very marked change in
her disposition. then you do a very
perilous thing to marry her at all.
The same rule, on the other hand,
applies to the young men. Many and
many a girl has made shipwreck Of
her happiness for life by marrying
young man in the confidence that al
ter marrying she would WELD such an
influence over him as to reform his
wild habits. She finds her influence
diminished rather than increased after
they are married, and disappoint-
ments, disagreements and misery ne
cessarily follow. Marry no one with
whom, without any change of charac-
ter, YOU are not satisfied.
