A TENNESSEE lawyer, in law book
recently published in that State,
recommends for solemnizing marriage
the use of the form to be found in
Shaksspears's "The Tempest" and
declares it to be perfectly legal. The
lines begin:
"a contract of true love we celebrate;
May you find that she will outstrip all
praise,
And make it halt behind her; and may you
Beyond oil limit Of all else in the world
Forever love, praise and honor her.
She, with heart as willing
As bondage eer of freedom, gives her hand,
And your wife, in plain holy innocence
So perfect and so peerless-created
OF every creatures best-shall not wish
Any companion in the world but you-
Nor in imagination form shape
Besides yourself to like Of"
After this follows the bsnediction
bestowed upon Airand. by Proapero.
The history of country journalism
has been anything but satisfactory as
rule, and publishers OF country
newspapers rarely make a success
financially. Why is this? 1t is a
question easily answered. 1t is sim
ply because it is customary among
publishers to continually trust their
subscribers and patrons, and the mon.
ey they should have weekly to pay
the necessary expenses of running an
Office is in the hands of their various
patrons--a littls here and a small
sum there, but when all told aggre-
gates 10 a nice amount. The credit
system has been damaging one to
every publisher Of a country nswspa-
per, and the sooner the bstter fer
beth publisher and subscriber that
the ca.h in advance system be gem
orally established over the country.

AN Irishman passing q butcher
shop observed some liver for sale.
Not knowing what it was, he inquired
Of the butcher and said that hs
would like to buy some, but his old
woman knew only how to boil
"praties," whersupon ths butcher
0ood-nstursdly offered to write him
recipe for cooking the ssvory dish. So
Pat bought and started for home. Hs
had not proceeded far, before hun
cry dog seized the tasty morsel, and
made off as fast as his legs could
carry him. Pat, in nowise discop-
certed, turned round with broad
grin, and shaking his fat at the canine
thief, said, "Arrab, ys dirthy black
guard, ye'rs sowld this time Ye've
got the liver, but ye can't cook it. for
I've got the rsaate in me pocket !"
The Rev. Mr.. Potter. in his re-
marks at the Baptist ministers meet
at New York said one very true thing
to wit: "Mo lern charity but prolongs
the misery of underpaid, dispirited
and demoralized persons" The char
ity that is beneficial is that which
stimulates the disheartened by remun-
erative and encouraging work, that
lifts man above self, and directs his
mind to objects that will finally re-
lieve him from dependence. Tempo
rary relief is only a prolongation Of
disaster following disaster.
LAST week the New York Tribune
published about two full pages of
news from all parts of the country re-
lating TO crops. The general tenor
of its reports promises yield, which,
if not equal to that of last year, will
be at least up to the averages of crops
for several years past.
"What is so rare as day in June"
Well, now and then, day in April is
decidedly underdone, and some Of the
March days are really raw.
