HOUSE.

FAI hOLL,
The House met at 10 O'Clock.
The resolve on pay roll OF the House was finally
passed. This provides for mileage both ways accord
ing the to constitution, the first passed by the
House, aud received the Governors veto.
on motion OF Mr. Spauldiny ordered, the Senate
concurrlng that the Treasurer of State be authorized
and directed TO payeach officer and member ct tnis
Legislature whose names appear in the accompany
ing rolls the sums due salary and travel under the
laws of this State.
Mr. Young thought the order would meet the pre-
sent position OF affairs admirably The mileage
could be left until the proper authorities decide
what is due.
Mr. Wallace said there lad been discussion en-
the mileage question early in the Session. the present
attitude of the branches was disgrace and an
attempt to get donble mileage in round about
manner.
MIR. Wilson said he had gone for the lesser sum +
mi cage every time, but be recognized the fact that
both the Senate and House had decided in favor OF
the larger mileage and how could they present their
cases properly before the Governor without the
passage Of the resolve, be saw the least objection
Mr. Spau'ding desired to be set right on tue mat
ter He bad voted for the civil bill fixing the
mileage at 10 cents for &C ual travel That was
voted down. Then the pay roll was passed as the
House thought legal, and there was an honest
difference OF opinion between the Legislature and
the Executive. Other gentlemen sustained The
order and it passed the House and was conquered in
by the Senate.
ADJOURNMENT.
The House adjourned finally at 70 o'clock.

Marrying.

There are girls who start ont in
life with au nndefoed idea that they
will marry somebody, aud then keep
looking through the matrimonial mar
ket just as they would look through
the stock Of silks on tho shopmau's
counter. Taking down piece after
piece they fnd the shade Of this too
dark, or Of that too light, or Of the
other tot exactly what they think it
ought to bc. After putting the
salesman to much trouble they soy
will call again, and leave the place
not knowing what they want. So
the girl who wants to marry looks
around to see what offers, aud fuds
that this mans beard is too rem, that
one 8 eyes too blue aud tho other
ones ears too long. She will lobk o
little farther. She examines all that
are in tho market and concludes to
look farther yet. And when, after
having almost unoousciously become
airt aud having broken the hearts
OF half the young men 10 the neigh
borhood, sho keeps ou docking q
little 70, tber.' She finds herself go
ing alono down tho hill on the shady
side OF the way, still with an indcdn-
able longing to marry somebody, aud
wondering who will como aloug to
propose to her.
1t would DO rash to advise the
young lady to accept the first marry
ing mau who offers. 1t IL equally
rash to advise her TO wait, npd wait
and keep on waiting aud at last marry
nobody. Perhaps 1t is not necessar y
that all should marry. Some Of the
uoblest women in the world are what
the world calls old maids yet tina,
il lonely way of getting along. \
tho girl wants to marry
the young mon will find it out, and
her soul will look out OF tho window.

II does not empty tomorrow
