An Analysis Of Marriage.

John Ruskin, in the Nineteenth Cen
tury, says: There is another difference
in the wool of Waverly novel from the
cobweb Of a modern one, which depends
on SCOTS larger view of life. Marriage
is by no means, in his conception OF
maj and woman, the most important
business of their existence; nor love the
only reward to be proposed to their vir-
tue or their eXertion. 1t is not i'll his
reading of the laws of Providence that
virtue should, either by love or any
other external blessing, be rewarded at
all; and marriage is in all cases thought
of as a constituent of the happiness of
life; but rot as Its only interest, still less
its only aim. And upon Analysing with
some care the motives of his principal
stories, we shall often find that love III
them is only a light by which the stern
err features of character are to be irradi-
ated, and that the marriage of the hero
is as subordinate to the main bent of the
story as Henry VS. courtship of Kath-
crime is to the battle of Agincourt.
Nay, the fortunes of the person who is
nominally the subject of the tale are
often little more than a background on
which grander figures are to be drawn
and deeper tales foreshadowed. The
judgments between the faith and chiv-
airy of Scotland at Drumclog and Both
well bridge owe a little of their interest
in the mind of q sensible reader, to the
fact that the captain Of the Popiajay is
carried a prisoner to one battle, and re
turns a prisoner from the otLer; and
Scott himself, while he watches the
white sail that bears Queen MARY for
the last time from her native land, very
nearly iorgets TO finish his novel, or to
tell us-and with small sense of n
consolation to lie had out OF that minor
circumstance-that Holland and Cath
crime We're united, spite Of their differ
ent faiths" Neither let it be thought
for an instant that the slight and some
what scornful giances with which Scott
passes over scenes which a novelist os
our W day would have analy2ed with
the airs Of a philosopher and painted
with the curiosity Of Il gossip, indicate
any absence in MS heart OF sympathy
with the great and sscred elements of
personal hrppiness. I'm era ike ours,
which has with diligence ana osteAte.ion
swept its heart clear OF all the passions
once known as !oyaity, patriotism and
piety, necessarily mag%niies the apparent
force Of the one remaining sentiment,
which signs through the barren chamber
or chngs inextricably round the cAasms
of ruin; nor can 1t but regard with awe
the unconquerab!e spirit which still
tenpts OF betrays the sagacities OF self
ishness into terror or frenzy which
believed to be love.

The Botel Nut.

The great narcotic in India Is the
betel nut, of which Anglo-Saxons-per-
haps fortunately-know nothing. The
betel nut Is the seed of the areca palm,
which is extensively cultivated. AS
nearly every native chews betel, the
consumption of areca nuts are incredibly
great. In the PHILIPPINES the laborer is
paid in betel rolls, as he is with cocoa
leaves in some parts of Peru, and the
betel nut is one OF the most valuable
products in Sumatra. The greater part
this islands export goes to China. The
betel nut is about the size of a cherry,
slightly pear-shaped, very hard, and ex-
ternally not unlike Il nutmeg Of inferior
quality. In India it is prepared for
chewing by being cut into long, narrow
strips, and wrapped in leaves Of the So
called betel paper, previously busted on
one side with the quicklime Of calcined
shells. In the PHILIPPINES, a buyo, as
the betel roll is called, is offered to
everyone who enters a house, lust as a
pinch of snuff or a pipe is in the West
ern counties. Everyone who can afford
it puts a fresh buyo in his mouth every
hour, which he can chew and suck for
half an hour at least. The visible eff
fects of a betel are that it promotes the
flow of the saliva and lessons perspira-
ton. 1t tinges the mouth, the teeth,
and lips with IA vivid red, which is orna-
mental but as an offset it imparts an
agreeable odor to the breath, and is sup
posed to fasten the teeth, cleanse the
gums and cool the mouth. The juice is
usually, but not always, swallowed. On
those who are accustomed to use 1t, the
betel exerts a weak but continuous and
sustained celebrating influence. All
through Southern India and the Spice
Islands every person who owns a hit Of
land usually grows the leaves of the
pawn, or betel pepper, for his own CON
sumption. Only tobacco, among the
narcotics in common use is consumed in
larger quantities than the betel nut. In
India, indeed, where on an average, not
more than sixpence a head is annually
paid for clothing, indulgence in betel
forms the second great necessary Of CON-
mon life

A Woman Who was Counted Out.

The Captain of the Central Station
had a day-dream Of burglars rudely
shattered the other day by the advent of
a tall, gaunt woman about forty years
of age, who carried o closed umbrella in
a threatening way. She refused his sal.
utation of: eliot day, madam-sit
down." but slowly advanced to the desk,
gave it a rap with her umbrella, and
solemnly asked:

"Why, I've been passed over by the

"But there was some spite about it,

her weapon around his head. "They

The United States and Eur ope

W. number now nearly or quite So
100000 people. A hundred millions
could be sustained, without increasing
the area of a single farm or adding one
to their number, by merely bringing our
product up to the average standard of
reasonably good agriculture and then
there might remain for export twice the
quantity we 10Y send abroad, to feed
the hungry in foreign lands. No lon
ger divided By the curse of slavery, this
nation is now united by bonds of mutual
interest and Of common speech, tied by
the iron bands of $4,000 miles of rail
way, and is yet only beginning to feel
the vital power and grandeur of a truly
national existence. What may be the
future of this land few can yet conceive.
Texas alone comprises as much territory
as the German Empire, England and
Wales combined. Texas has now about
100000 people within her boundaries;
the Empire of Germany, England, and
Wales, about 100000. The good
land in Texas is equal in area to the
good land in Germany and Great Brit
ain. Kansas, Nebi aska and Iowa COM
bined more than equal France in area
and possess more fertile land. Only %
years ago John Brown and his COM
panions redeemed Kansas from slavery !;
Nebraska was then indicated on our own
maps as a part of "the Great American
Desert" end Iowa had scarcely become
a State. Their population may now be
100000. France has $1,000 600.
The great middle section of Eastern
Tennessee, Northern Georgia, Western
Carolina, and Southern Virginia has
been hemmed in by cle curse of slavery,
and is yet almost a terra ~incognita, but
it is replete with wealth in minerals, in
timber, and in fertile valleys of almost
%unequaled climate for health and vigor.
This section IS almost equal to the Aus
trian Empire in its area, and more than
equal i'll resources. 1t has a sparse pop
ulation of only or two millions. The
Austrian empire has over 1900, 000.
The healthy upland country Of Georgia.
Alahama ard the Carolinas contains
vast areas of fertile woodland, which
can be bought by the hundred thousand
acres at half a dollar, or IS, an acre, on
which sheep and cotton thrive equally
well. These sections are being slowly
occupied by white farmers, and wait for
immigrants who can bring them to use.
In a few short years, sheep, fed mainly
upon the kernel of the cotton seed and
upon the grasses that follow the cotton,
viii send to market from the same fields,
alternately occupied, as much wool as
cotton. This warm section is more
than equal to Italy in area it has per-
haps 100000 people, Italy contains
100000. The fertile lands of the
Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, and
along the Potomac in Maryland, more
than equal Belgium. They may contain
halt a million of people. Belgium has
more than 5,000,0 900. IN the consider
alton OF this problem OF productive Ca
pacity, there are other factors of the
greatest importance. What are the bur-
dens 70 be borne by cur people compared
to others WhaC is the mortgage on
Ibis land that w possess?

1t was dinner time in a select board
