Whom Not TO Marry.

Women who love their husbands are
happy and at rest. Those who do not
are disturbed and restless. They are
always seeking for some means of kill
ing time. They are ready TO fiirt at
any moment. Their children are. ac-
cordIng TO their means, either hidden
in nurseries under the care Of French
bonnes. or bonded over to Sally, the
slatternly nurse, to shake, and slap, a.
stuff with sugar as her wisdom dictates.
while society and amusements OF all
sorts occupy their mothers time.
Home Is not happy to the poor woman,
because she has chosen her mate fool
ishly-because she trusted 10 that ''love
after marriage" which mercenary old
people promise those who make what
they call sensible match.
Sad as a neglected wife, who loves
her husband well, must be, / believe
she is happier than this poor restless
creature, though she be whorshiped.
The love Of one we do not love be-
comes simply bore. especially in the
close intercourse of home life: and
she who does not give her heart TO her
husband is not likely to care much for
his children. So, girls, if you do not
love your lover, don't marry him. Re
member that marriage is a serious step,
and that when you give him your hand
taat he may encircle it with q wedding
ring, you seal the happiness or misery
Of your natural life. Don's mar I'M
less you are sure of your love for him,
and his for you.

If CONGRESS shall adopt the recon-
mendation Of the secretary of the navy,
our government will in few years have
a powerful marine army of defense,
which it has not had since the close of
the rebellion. In the event of war
with foreign power, our great danger
would be from naval attacks along our
sea-board, and this peril could be ef-
fectually met only by a formidable
navy. Let us, then, renew our navy as
soon as possible.
