Young MEN ana Marriage.

I want to say few words to young
men who are in love, or about falling
in love, and possibly Of getting mar
ried. You think it is very pleasant to
spend your evenings with some pretty
girl. You are proud Of her when you
escort her to the theater or party,
and see the admiration she excites,
and you fondly hope to make her your
own, without rejecting on the price
you must pay for it. Do you know
what the majority of women expect
from their husbands2 A constant and
never. failing attention and admiration,
aud actual keeping of all the VOWS
they have made them, foudness for
home and their society, also the tri.
fling items of we'll filled market bas-
kets and reasonably large bills with
their millincrs and mantua makers.
If you are sure you can fill the bill,
go ahead and get married, only make
up your mind beforehand to be certain
that you will be pleased with the same
sort Of wife at thirty five that took
your fancy at twenty. one. Try and
remember that it is much easier to get
married than to get free, and that
some of your fine cigars and fancy
neckties must be sacrificed as the years
advance. If you marry good. wife,
and cannot support her comfortably
your heart will be wrung with her en-
forced prlvation.
If you marry bad wife under the
same circumstances, she will have you
caught and Gagged in Moyamensing'
and be milestone around your neck
until the end of your days. The more
romantic girl may be, the surer you
may be of the fact that she will ex'
peot you to be sound on the financial
question, SO take my advice and defer
the wedding until you have placed the
amount of your income before the la
dy of your choice, calculated your
probable expenses, and are both salts
fed that you have left a sufficiently
large margin for incidentals.

No Early Extension Beyond san
Antonio.

A gentleman who recently arrived
in this city from Palestine, says thai
he learned positively that the Inter
national railway would not bo extend
ed beyond San Antonio, at least for
some time, unless the Pierce road went
westward. 1t is the expressed desire
Of the International company to keep
the road here until the city shall have
received such benefits as will enable
its business men to place themselves on
footing where they will be able to
cope more effectively with other bust
ness places for the trade Of the ada
cent country. and TO enable them to
be the better prepared for the exten'
sion beyond this point. If the Pierce
road is extended. however, the Inter
national company will push out to the
Rio Grande. Col. Pierre, has pos
itiyely stated that his road would ex
tended westward, and it Is hardly likely

And one took root and sprou,ed up and grow

And age was pleased. In heats Of noon, to bask

The dormouse loved its dangling twigs. the birds

He thought not ofthe deed he did, but judged that

He passed again, and loi the we'll by summer

Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues, and

A dreamer dropped random thought; twas old,

That your petitioner, stung by insult

That your petitioner hath ever held

of people of all nations of YOUR RACE,

and exemplified his usefulness:
That, in the face of the above known
