Marriage and Single Life.

Marriage changes the current ofa mans
feelings, and gives him center for his
thoughts, his affections, and his acts. 1t
renders him more virtuous, more wise,
and is an incentive to put forth his best
exertions to attain positionin commercial
and social circles. It is conceded that
marriage will increase those cares ola
young man which he would not encounter
if be remained single, but it must be
granted, on the other hand, it heighteus
the pleasures of life. If marriage, in
some instances, within knowledge, has
seemed to be but q hindrance to certain
success, the countless instances must not
be forgotten where it has proved to be the
incentive which has called forth the
best part offs mans nature, reused him
from selfish apathy, and inspired in him
those generous principles and high re.
solves which have helped to develop into
character known, loved, and honored
by all within the sphere of its influence.
Matrimony, it is true, is chargeable
with numberless solicitudes, and respon-
sibilities, and this all young men should
understand before entering upon it, BUTT
is also full ofjoy and happiness unknown
to the bachelor.
To the young man away from the home
of his parents, or who is by their early
death deprived Of a home, marriage is q
blessing and 8 necessity. If he remains
single, he may have pleasant place Of
residence, his amusements may be con.
tinuous, he may have all the luxuries
that money can buy, but he will feel that
lack of home and that holy love of a good
wife which no money can purchase. He
may be courted for his wealth, he may
eat, drink and revel, he may have the
most faithful attendants and skilled ply.
sicians at his bedside when i'll, but all
these cannot compensate for the more
quiet bliss OF connubial life, or the tender
watchfulness Of those whose hearts are
knit to him by the strong ties of family
relationship.
To all young men choosing between the
states of life, the single and married, we
commend the words of quaint Jeremy
Taylor, who sums up the subject we'll
when be says:
marriage hath in it more safety than
single life; it hath more care; tits more
merry and sad it is fuller of joys and
sorrows ); it lies under more burdens, but
it is supported by all the strength Of love
and charity, which makes those burdens
delightful. It is school and exercise of
virtue, and though it hath cares yet sin.
gle life hath desires Which are more
troblesome and more dangerous, and Of.
ten end in sin, while the cares are but
the exercises of piety."

and the full course of the disease was IS
follows:
One day about noon l was seized with
backache so severe that I could not
move without great agony. l went to
bed and fell asleep. About dusk ]
awoke, and thought the house was on
fire. felt as ifI was in furnace. My
eyes seemed like Goals of fire, and my
breath scorched my throat. I tried to
get up, and felt such q rush of blood to
my head that l desisted. About 10
o'clock the physician, DR.. George a.
Ketchum, came to see me, and the first
thing he said was;
"The boy is burning up.''
I lay on that bed, the very sheets
feeling like hot iron, for thirty-six hours.
When closed my eyes would see great
columns Of fame shooting up and up
and would open them suddenly to get
relief, but only to see the columns Of fame
go shooting downward.
At the end of thirty.six hours l felt
the fever leave me, and I was so weak ]

it. But it vas six weeks before left

MercIe's Equestrian Statue of Lee.

RICHMOND, Va August 20.-Mercie's
model of the equestrian statue of General
Robert E. Lee which is to be erected
here, was unboxed to day and placed
upon pedestal in the Senate chamber.
The Lee Monument Association have &C.
copied the model, and express themselves
as pleased with it far beyond their ex.
nc'a.ions. There is nothing stiff or
constrained in either the horse or rider.
The former seems to have been reined in
while at walk, its neck curved and head
turned slightly TO the left. The rider is
sitting erect in the saddle, bare headed,
with his right shoulder slightly thrown
back, the right hand grasping the hat
and acknowledging the salution of the
troops around bim. Governor Lee,
when asked his opinion of the model,
said it is very satisfactory I; that be had
ssen General Lee in that position and
looking in that way great many times !;
that there were some slight notifications
about the rider, to which the attention of
the artist would be called. He thought
The feet of the rider might be closer to
the horse, and perhaps the collar OF the
coat might be turned down on the left
side of the neck as we'll as on the right
side. These questions, he said, should
be submitted to the sculptor that the
collar had evidently been turned up in
order to make an irregular line aud to
pre- vent the coat looking too precise and
trim at the neck.
