~0h. married love,-Esch heart shall own,
Where two eongeniai snuls unite.
Thy golden chains inlaid with down.

l viii say that fact demons,raiiyely
proves that the first requisite Of congeniAl
marriage is love. am tolerably close
observer, and have yet 20 see happy
marriage where this element is absent
wanting. Sir, love is the strongest band,
the frmest cord, which unites two hearts
inseparably together tits natural for man
10 love, and love for the opposite sex has
always been q controlling influence with
him. Yes, the desire, l repeat. is natural,
and therefore, must be rational, and that
desire which is at once natural and ration
al must have the appreciation Of heaven.
If were asked to decide the basis Of q
happy marriage, would say Love per Sc.
why, the world are all thinking about it,
And as Cor myself, can swear
II fancied that heaven were without it,
I'd scarce feel a wish 10 be there"
l have frequently entertained the thought
that it is quite possible that Socrates. when
he courted-wooed-ihe lovely q Kan
thippe, regarded her perfect in every res
pect and called her darling" "angei,"
sugar plum" etc. Her conduct deceived
sir, is the under current that leads to a
happy marriage, and where this is absent,
the "tie" would be better left united" for
heaven has nothing TO do with such
matches. As was slowly walking along
q path some mornings ago, which leads to
q public place, picked up piece of paper
on which verse from Shelly was written.
I'll read it;
81 love thee, and ] feel
That on the fountain of my heart q seal
Is SET 70 keep its waters pure and bright
For thee"
This, sir, is the love that regulates the
harmony of conjugAl life, and without it
there is void-an aching void-naught to
stimulate the good and guide the affections
in their proper channel.
l observe that farmers are progressing
fairly well saving fodder, cutting tops, etc.
II is perceptibly cooler, and, well, some of
our neighbors predict cold fall
Truckers are getting ready sale for their
tomatoes, some selling 10 the factory at the
Pine, and Others to Messrs. Lewis and
West.
II is commonly asserted by ineffective
minds that the corn crop throughout the
district will be the smallest that has been
realized for some years, when, in fact i;
will be many bushels, aye, barrels ahead
Of the largest crop that has been harvested
for years. True, the crop has not yet been
gathercd-harvested-yet, the possibilities
preponderate in favor of our assertion
Grumblers! well. the world is. full of this
class. What do they say? Why, the
farmers, poor creatures, will no. get even
q price approximating forced market, ali
owing, they say, 10 the concessions made
to foreign producers by the Wilson German
tariff act
We notice that our ladies exercise COM
mon sense in their choice of color rules for
dressing. See that dear sweet little woman
who is noticed for herself and not for her
apparel Look, There she goes. We
cherish the idea that she and her apparel
suit each other. She doesn'tfollow fashion
at the expense of being ridiculous, knowing
that exaggeration is merely bad style. She
avoids sailor hats, because she hasn't a big
face. She Is fair and consequently she
doesn't wear blue. There she goes-well
and carefully dressed and womanly
woman withal.
No sickness of consequence prevails
among adults, and we are pleased TO note
this season that Tabes Mesenterica is con-
spicuous by its absence. Our physicians
of course we arc ignorant-say that said
disease occurs principally in children of a
scrofulous diathesis, and in those who are
weaned too soon, or fed on indigestible sub
stances
There was Mass at St. Ignatius r. &.
church, and preaching at St. Mary's church
and Ridge Chapel last Sunday. We are
thankful, inasmuch as ministers of the
Gospel preach that the soul is simple
essence. This reasoning, so far as our
shallow brain is able 10 understand, is
sound. That no simple essence can be
separated from any OF its essential proper
