BETTER THAN GOLD.

Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Then rank and titles Thousand fold,
Is a healthy body and mind at ease,
And sim pie pie assures that always please;
A heart that can feel for anotbeI's woe,
And share its joys with genial glow,
With sym pathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers, is better than goio-
Better than gold is a conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in an humble sphere.
Doubly blest with content and health,
Untried by the lust or cares of wealth;
Lowly living and lofty thought
AdOrn and eHnoble a poor mans cot,
For mind and morals. in natures plan,
Are the genuine tests of a gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF the sons of toll when their labOrS close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drOOps on his slumDer
deep,
Brings sleepy draughts to the downy bed,
Where luxury pillows Its aching head,
But he mis- sim pie Op1ate deems
A shorter route to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is thinking mind,
That in the realm of books can fl
A treasure surprising Aust1 allan ore,
And life with the great and good OF yore;
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The glories of empire fade away;
The world great dream will thus unfold,
And yield pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is peaceful home,
When all the fireside characters come,
The shrine of love, the heaven of life,
HaliOwed by mother, or sister or Vile;
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heaven S decree,
The blessings that never were bought nor sold
And center there, are better than gold.

Only five days before, the boatswain, who
had shown much naturalization during
the voyage headed nineteen of the crew
who had joined him, and, having set the con-
victs free, they fell upon the rest of the crew
at night, and made an easy victory. The first
and second mates they had killed, and the
boatswain would have killed all hands, but
the rest of the mutineers refused to nave it
done So it had been arranged that the cap
tain and his friends should be confined, and
set on shore on the first t-of-the-way
island they could find.
1t was soon arranged that Blmstead
should proceed TO Sidney with his fifteen
faithful men, feeling sure that the convicts
could be so confined as to be safe. So saw
his prisoners faithfully ironed, and then

why women Marry.
VANITY Fair. /

The question which we considered last
week, why Men Marry" is an interesting
one; but il must be pronounced inferior in
interest to the question why Women
Marry in the degree in which men are in
all respects less interesting than women.
The willingness of women to marry is great
er and more patent than that of men; and,
we will add, that it is great deal more won
derful. That women have, to use a colo
quial phrase, the worst of it all through life.
we entertain no doubt, and that the etri-
monial state as understood by experience,
has, as a rule, fewer attractions for them
than for men, we also believe to be true. Yet
where there are many men who from choice
abstain from marrying, and still more
who put of marrying till the last
practicable moment, We doubt il there
are any women worth mentioning who
refuse the married state from option and
elaboration, and not many marry who post
pone marrying till late period of life from
a repugnance 70 having a husband. That
women refuse individual men, and some
times go on refusing man after man. is true
enough; but then their objection is to the
man and not to the condition of life the man
proposes; or, not unfrequently, their refusal
arises from more skittishness, from a feeling
they may do better, or from a cheerful con-
vicIon that there is plenty of time to think
about it, AS a rule, however, women who
have the chance of marrying marry, and they
Wouiu marry yet more promptly tnan tney

quently held back from taking a
foolish step by wise parents or dissusd-
ing friends How is this apparent par.
adox to be explained? There is less to in
duce woman to marry than to induce
men; yet men hesitate to marry and women
jump at marriage. Some will answer that
man is rational and woman an irrational
animal; but over and above the distinction
being too uncom plimentary to be true, it is
one of those plausible explanations that ex-
plain nothing. Again, it is sometimes af-
firmed that, in marrying, men sacrifice lib.
erty, whereas women, in marrying, acquire
it. But this is an epigram easily disposed
of. When men sacrifice what is called their
liberty by marrying, they are already tired
of their liberty, or that particular form of it
which bachelorhood enjoys, and were the
point thoroughly examined we suspect II
would be found that they abandon form ni
liberty OF which they are weary for another
form they have not possessed.

The Dorset soon lowered one of her quar-

in it. They came hurrying over the side,
and as soon as they were all in the gangway
we fell upon them-not wildly, but with
regular system-and in q short time they
were secure.
My course was now simple. l first saw
every man so firmly bound that he could not
move and then called "a men into the two

on board of my ship. We pulled for the

victs and they had no suspicious. Beckett
