They who remember the benefits bestowed
by parents arc too grateful to remember
their faults. They are happy who can
return to father aud mother the caro- they
receive from them in infancy; still happier
thoy who cur return their smiles and ca
ressos, and feel for thom tho same lovo
they have rcooivod. Old ago sometimes
becomes second childhood; why should not
filial piety become parental loyo
Praying and praotioing Christ's com
mandments will keep out SHINING; nothing
else will do it. Positive stops will save
you. When tho packet ship "Stophen
Whitney" struck, at midnight, on on Irish
cliff and cluug for fow moments, to tho
cliff, all tho passengers who leapcd instantly
upon the rock were saved. Tho positive
step landed them on tho rock. Those who
fingered were swept off by tho returning
wave, and cngulphcd forever. Your first
duty is to flee out of tho sinking ship of
sin to tho everlasting rock. When in
Christ you arc safe. Serving Christ will
give the highest, fullest, most usefu! occu-
patton of hand, head and heart, as long as
you live. The only cffeotual way to abhor
that Which is wicked is to ceevo to that
which is holy.

a LADY's EXPLANATION lady says:
owe read great deal about the extrayn--
ganoc of wives, and Of girls marrying with.
out knowing how to cook or take care of a
family. l should like to ask who is to
blame for this state of affairs? Girls will
be girls, and it will be useless to try to make
women Of them until they arc old enough.
If young men insist upon marrying girls
before they arc hardly out of school, before
they arc old enough TO assume the respon-
sibiIity of motherhood, they must abide the
consequences. The girls don't propose TO
tho young men; neither do they urgo an
early marriage; it is tho young men that do
this; and many young girl has been coaxcd
into marriage, when sho felt sho was TOO
young, by tho samc youngjman who will,
after marriage, fret because his child -wifo
can't cook as his mother did,"

When I Mean to Marry.
by JOHN q. SAKE.

Df JOhN VI chALs
When do l mean to marry7--wel
IT'S idle to dispute with fate;
But If you choose to hear mo tell,
Please listen while fix the date.
When daughters haste, with eager feet,
A mothers daily toll to share;
Can make tho puddings which they cat,
Aud darn the stockings which they wear.
When maidons look upon man
AS in themselves they would marry,
And not as army soldiers scan
a sutler or o oommissary!
Whom gentle ladies who have got
Tho offer Of lovers hand,
Content to share his "earthly lot,"
And do not mean his lot Of land.
When young mechanics aro allowed
To find and we'd tho farmers girls
WHO don't expect to be endowed
With rubies, diamonds and pearls.
When wives, in short, shall freely give
THOR heart and hand to aid their spouse
And live as they wcro wont to live
Within thoir siro's one story house.
Then, madam-if I'm not too old,
Rejoiced to quit this lonely life,
III brush my beaver, cease to soold,
Aud look about mo for wife!

RAILWAY spEED-Tho daily express
mail train from London to Holybead makes
tho distance, 26S miles, in d. hours, being
at the speed Of little over 50 miles an
hour, stoppages included Tho distance
between New York and Washington is 22S
miles, and the fastest train makes it in 6
hours and 20 minutes, or SO miles on hour,
stops included. But most of the traius
occupy from to 8 hours. In this wide
country, where railway engineering exhibits
such great triumphs, it would seem as if
We ought to be able to run trains between
our important cities as fast as the Britishcrs
do. If We had Holyhcad express between
New York and Washington, tho time of
transit would be reduced nearly onc-half,
to wit, to hours DO minutes This would
enable passengers to leave New York in the
morning, have on entire official day for bus
mess before the departments in Washing
ton, or attend session of Congress-, and
still be home again in timo for the evening
tea.

Bedsteads, mattresses and chairs can be hired on the ground Excel lent board at low rates will be furnished dur ing the meeting. Families desiring quiet, healthy and inexpensive place of rest for a few weeks before the meeting, can be accommo- dated here, and if a sufficient number apply soon for board on the ground it can be fur nished.

less than the coaSu3Rer pdyS for the same ar- tice. Tho difference on a pound of butter is about cents, of which the transportation Co. receives cent. So also of milk. Including freight at cents gallon, the cost laid down in the city is about cents a gallon. It is re- tailed at 32 cen ts. What becomes of the diff. ference? It is swallowed up, engulfed by go-betweens.
 The only true remedy is to bring the pro- ducer and consumer face to face, Get rid oi all those who withdraw profit after profit from | the true value of your stuff and then return | to you the paltry residue.
 This can be accomplished by cooperation. It would not require any vast amount of en. | tcrprse to open an agency in New York or other cities for the sale of the products of all the daires in our neighborhood. Let those interested choose some thrifty, practical re- RddCe and h0HeSt man to represent them open modest store in the city; establish milk routes If advisable and so avoid middle men altogether
 But this or any other device will not be really successful nor will the best results fol. low unless proper regard be had to quality. Our experience, and that of othe who have been observant of the trade, shows that our dairy produce is geTg Td1Td6le. Two tubs of butter, for instance, packed on the same farm and by the same hands, differ. One is first rate; the other just falls enough below excel. lence to fail of ready sale. Nor is the average quality what it should be. It must and can be greatly improved. To this end let the grade of stock be made better year by year by the introduction of new and higher strains of blood. Let the cattle be better fed during the long, trying winter. No grain or grass ought to be sold on a dairy farm. It should all be fed and only so many head kept as can be sceV fed on a certain acreage
 Lastly, the wife and the daughters must learn to exercise the greatest possible care to attain the highest excellence. Establish a reputation for good milk, cheese and butter, and never ship lot that would damage your name. Better throw it away than be put on the doubtful list for the sake ora dollar or two.
 If failure follows after honest, thorough testing of the natter we are open to convic. tion. We believe however, that failure thus far has been due to want of cooperation and indifferent quality as compared to what is entirely attainable x.

Town Debts.

The Mayors of the several cities of the State at the instance, it is said, of the Mayor of Middletown, issued a circular to the first Selectmen of the several towns, inviting them and 1.-two judcious citizens" to be selected by them, to meet in the City of Middletown, on the 9th day of July, ''for the purpose of de- yising some plan for funding the debts of the counties cities, towns and boroughs of this State and for payment of the principal and interest in such manner as to reduce the bur den of the taxpayers" Quite number of gentlemen thus invited met at the time and place mentioned The only towns represented from this county were New Milford and Rox- bury. There were two plans brought before the meeting. The first one was that of the Mayor and others of Mlddletown, viz: that the towns place 1-2 per cent. bonds to the amount of their indebtedness in the state treasury; and that the State issue an equal amount of per cent. bonds, which could be sold at par; the half of one per cent to be put into a sinking fund for the final payment of the town bonds The second plan was to - Ret the SLaCe 5 SudIduIee IO Ibo IoWll Oohus' Neither plan, however, met with much favor. It was objected that they were both impract- icable that most of the outstanding bonds had long time to run and the holders would not be likely to exchange per cents. for per cents, and thers was no way to compel them; that town bond was as good as state bond and in fact better, because the latter was based on good faith only, while the for mer was secured by every dollars worth o property in the town, and that therefore the towns could sell their bonds at a low rate O interest as easily as the State. It was alst the opinion of good lawyers, among them Hon Levi Warner, ex-Member of Congress iron this district, that the Legislature had no au thority whatever to do anything of the kind it was beyond their constitutional power. Th subject was finally indefinitely postponed ant the meeting dissolved

 The reader of the correspondence in last weeks issue would naturally infer that the ladies of the NJ. F. Church society were so forgetful of the courtesies due the speakers of the day as to wish them to pay for their din ners. It is due the ladies to say that the speakers were invited to the first table and were there entertained free of expense and were welcomed by the ladies. private trans action by one of the speakers furnished the ground for the article, but the parties enjoy the best of feeling, and regret that any mis- take should have led outside parties to be- lieve that the ladies would not gladly give thanks and show courtesy to 0U of the speak CTS We arc sure the best of feeling exists and we know the ladies with too generous acquaiptdnce to feel otherwise
