Bridal Omens.

The Romans were very supersti-
tious about marrying IN May and
February. The 18th has always
been considered in England pecul-
iarly unlucky for brides. Why, ira
dition saith not. In the Orkney
Isles the bride selects an evening
for her wedding when there is a full
moon and a flowing tide. In Scot
land the last day of the year is con
sidered lucky; the brides prospects
in life are supposed to be brilliant.
In Sweden the bride on her way
back from the church has pieces of
bread in her pockets. These she
throws faway on her road to her

WISE WORDS.

This aiming at something is one of the
great secrets Of success in life.
1t requires a certain elevation, GER
tain inspiration, to see lie at its best
and its highest.
Reason is the only faculty we have
whereby to Judge of anything, even o.
revelation itself.
Not the hands Of man, but his scnsi
bi!ity and intellect, have worked the
greatest wonders.
lie that has something to do has ,cs:
temptation to doubt than the man who
has nothing else to do but to doubt.
Duties are the education for eternity,
which is endless duty. Our pleasures
are IN exact proportion to our duties.
1t is better that Joy should be spread
over all the day in the form Of strength
than that it shoVld be concentrated into
ec3tacies, full of danger and followed by
reactions.
He who realizes and upholds the hal
lowed character of love in all its forms
will never slight it in in its highest and
holiest and he who holds loosely the
love of a friend or brother is unworthy
to take upon himself Obligations more
sacred or binding.
Can man be frugal yet liberal in ex-
penditurc2 Yes, if he be neither mean
on the one hand nor wasteful on the
other, if he have intelligence and wis
dom to know when to open his hand, if
he have self control to deny lower de-
sires that he may administer to higher
ones.
1t is only those who have character
and principles themselves that are quail
fed to praise character in others. What
does it avail for deccitfil man to praise
truthfulness in another, for a mean man
to commend another's liberality, for a
swindler to shower plandits on one who
is the soul of honorl If any one should
give praise worth having, he must know
of " hat he speaks.

COTTON.

The cotton business is surely, and not
very slowly, going South. The time is
not very distant when Georgia, with its
magnificent water power, its cheap la
bor, and it's raw material ON the spot.
will snatch the scepter of supremacy in
cotton manufacture from New En-
glands failing grasp. Pennsylvania, to
WafersOn's delight, will shut up her
cotton mills. The humane societies of
the North will no longer be troubled
about the overworking and underpay-
ing OF children In these great indus
trial establishments. 1t will not be
from Fall River, nor from Philadelphia
that we shall, in the future, here OF
cotton strikes and lock outs, but II
anywhere, from Atlanta and Macon and
Charleston. In this great impending
industrial change, New England will
be the great sufferer, and New England
knows it, and it is New England capi-
tai that, by going South, is bringing it
about. Pennsylvania will lose. her
cotton trade, indeed, but only to find q
much larger and more profitable trade
in supplying the increased population
Of the South with the articles OF iron.
etc, that the South wants. Pittsburg

ALIEN LAND OwNERs.--The theory
of our land laws is that the soil is to be
owned by those who will cultivate it.
ii is not to be staked off in immense
parcels by nonresident holders, who
regard it as a speculation and make no
effort to utilize it's productiveness. The
purpose Of the law has been defeated
by fraudulent practices, and immense
holdings have passed into the hands of
foreign capitalists. A Western journal
recently printed partial list of such
holdings which ranged from 1000, 900
acres to 5000 acres, and aggregated
nearly 81, 100000 acres. In some cases
these lands were used as cattle ranches
in others they remained idle. All be-
longed to alien holders. The House
committee on public lands yesterday
took action in this matter, and impor-
tant results may follow for it will re-
port favorably a bill providing that no
alien shall acquire title to or own lands
within the United States. 1t will pro-
vide, however, that such foreign born
persons as have legally declared their
intention to become citizens shall be Ell
ligible to acquire land.-NeW York

ing and manners go, tue Mormon youth
compares favorably with those OF the
most refined American cOmmunitles.
They are polite, we'll behaved. and In
society distant and formal as the most
cultured of young Americans. They
are far superior in that respect to their
fathers and mothers. The result OF
polygamy on the physical future OF the
MOrmOns is hard to determine, as there

The Mormons are becoming great colo

then go out into the Territories TO found

than is necessary for the support OF the

penses and for the payment OF the pub-
lie debt. The Government should be
economically administered, and no
more funds raised for that purpose than
are absolutely necessary. To that ex-
tent / believe in tariff for revenue
only. Inseollecting the amount neces-

believe that we should discriminate
in favor of American manufactures
and labor as against foreign maHufac-
turers and foreign labor. I have fre-
