MAIIRTING A WIDOW- Thirty years oid to-day. °aid ft be poxeible that I, Mark Marks, had jumped' from my teens aosuddenty on to the thredffield of thirty summers? I asked my mother. She counted her fingers, naming John, Joe, Charleyand Henry, Mary and Sturm, Betsy mid Eliza; Jerustua and Hannah, Ellen and Sallie, Annie and Julia, Maria and 'Martha, and the rest of her small faintly ; finally she said I was thirty years old. This settled the question. I was unmarried. I had resisted. for tenyears all matrimonial tempta tions; but now t feeling the infirmi ties of age creeping on* I concluded it would not be an unhealthy thing for Me to secure a wife. How to bring this determination • to a successful conclusion, demanded my considera tion. I pondered and continued to ponder. Powessing- a modest disposition, the idea of going about in the society of marriageable girls on a hunting expedition didn't suit me. Finally I made up my mind to dodge this difficulty by advertising. Therefore the columns of the I'odaiick Daily Eagle, one line morning In June, con tained the following: 11.1.1.TRI3IONIAL.—Theadvertiser, a young man twenty-five years old, prepossessing in appearance, intelli gent, of good habits, etc., desires to correspond with some young lady with a view to forming a matrimo nial alliance. Address. and send carte-do visite to "Anxious seat, Pod wick P. O.', Three days after the publication of this I had received seven hundred and fifty replies. I was encouraged. Such generosity (metre(' rue that. I Wasn't the only peNon in the vicini ty of Podwick who had a hankering after conjugal felicity. I opened the letters and devoted two whole days to their perusal. The one that suited use be s t was enclosed in ith en veloesurrounded with black lines, an In dication that the writer had recently attended a funeral, and considering the nature of the corres pondence, was evitlence enough that she didn't allow grief to Interfere with anything that promised conso lation. • Her note was as follows: "Mr Anxious Seat notice that you wish to correspond with a 'young lady e but perhaps you may not wish to hear from one who, though young hia widow. .lam twenty-three.vears of age, have an amiable disposition, I believe, and as for personal appear ance,l leave you to judge from the enclosed carte-de-visite. Should you desire to know me further. ptesse addiess Julia, East Haddam." Her visite was a beauty. She Was my fancy exactly. But she was a widow. Here was'jtn objection; yet I considered the mutter thoroughly, and instead of allowing my prudi ces to run loose, took what I conceiv ed to be si sensible view of it. I rea soned thus: She's a widow. Being thus,' her applleationis an argument in support of my resolution to marry. Why? Because she has been married, and liked it so well she's willing to marry again. Matrimony, therefore, must be the true state of happiness. I wrote her a letter, and in due time received a reply. Other epistles fol lowed, and tinnily, one plettsant day. I found myself in East Haddam in the presents) of Mrs, Julia Wilson burg. It is sufficient to say that the inter view was mutually- agreeable. Time young lady was attired in deep mourning, which, was so becoming to her complexfou that 1 never once thought of Wilsouturg deceased. Her politeness was charming: Her conversational power superior. "Iler r OICV W 3 ever ton, lientle antpnw ; rin excellent thing in nlnnain' her figure natural, not being made to oruer, by supplies of whalebone; and altogether, your humble servant was muipletely alive to her virtue 4, and if she had any faults, was very blind to them. I was ready to be married, being so entho.dastitolly smitten, right "on that line If it took all summer ;" but prudence dictated that we hadn't bet ter be in a hurry—folks would talk about it. etc.--and our decision was to watt a few months, and then settle down in Podwick together. Time passed at a remarkably slow gait through the daysrind weeks that followed. Christmas at last came, and the day following had been deci ded upon for our wedding ftntivitim. Now I desire to ask the masculine 'reader who has a wife and babies, if his feelings were anything like mine during the day preceding his invest ment of five or ten dollars in minis terial hand for "services rendered?" It was the most nervous day I ever experienced, and it being the last of my single blessedness, did not fur nish as much serenity us many that had passed. Yet my convictiunspn the subject of marriage were not folk shaken. And I may remark here that it is inybelief that ,the man who has been on a matritnonial anxious seat for several months, when brought to within a few hours of the consum mation devoutly wished, has as per fect and clear an idea of his situation as possible to human nature -so clear, so shining, and aoevideni, That it will glimmer through a blind maa's eym•' The important day and important hour arrived at last, and Mrs. Julia Wilsonburg and Mark Marks, esq., of Pcxlwlck, were tied together, so to speak,arid set adrift in the world. At last we found ourselves engaged In housekeepin", opposite the villitge green in I'odwick. Wo had occupied the premises two days, and on the evening following received a number of Mils. "Murk," said Julia, before any of our visitors arrived, wear my green silk to night, 1 guess. Mr. \Vilsonburg thought green as very becoming to me." "Anything," said I, "that you please;" but I omittedto add, "hang Wilsonburg;" thougif I had not, by any means, Just that moment forgot ten the deceased, Mrs. finnan, aged forty-nine, was our first miler. I greeted her cordially, and intro duced her to my wife—" Mrs. Snuf fers, Mrs. Marks." A sign of mutual recognition fol lowed, attended by looks of surprise. "What I" exelaitned „ Mrs. S., "is this you, Julia? I thought you mar ried John Wilsonburg, of st Had dam." "So I did. but tended been &lid for some time " respo Mrs. Mark& "Has lie?" mournfully queried Mrs. S., and she immediately turned about and surveyed my person. Great minds run in the saine chan nel, and for that raison, perhaps, I Ned. 1818. was thinking of the deceased Just at this particular period of my life. This conversation on the topic in troduced, terminated abruutlyby my inquiring of Mrs.-8. if she had heard from her son John In the army. • • Seventeen cellars came and depar ted during the evening, without do- Veloping anything new or partial!. tarty interesting. 1 observed one thing, that they all said a good dud without saying much. • When the house was quiet, .Mrs. .Marks sugri,2sted to me that she was afraid bOll.lO of our visitors would think I was uot• polite enough, and she was sorry, because on such occa sions people were apt to indulge in severe criticisms. Then sho'added: - . "When Mr. Wilson burg and I re ceived mils after we were married, everybody complimented me upon his being so perfect a gentleman. ! ' This remark didn't remove fronl my mind any impressions I had pre viously received relative to memory of the departed, but I maintained a respectful silence. Afler breakfast next day Mrs. M. asked me if I had overeaten a "Chet lewug pudding?" . "No." "Well, we'll have one to-lay`;' think they are the nicest dessert o v er put upon a table. Mr. Wilson burg used toaay he never HMV any thing to equal them In all his travel ing _ha Franca." We hdd one. •On the Sunday following we at 'tended church for the first time in Podwlck. A smart young man preached the sermon. Mrs. Marks appeared much inter ested, and as she walked home, said It was the best' discourse she had ]lis tened to for a long time 'isn't he a fine looking man? What a good voice he has ! Ile re minded me very much of, Mr. Wil sonburg. You never saw him, did you?' 'No, I never saw him ; but I've heard of him,' I replied. So ft was; wherever we went, In the house or out of it, Me natural shuplicity of Mrs. Marki=who,;,ef trourse, intended no offence--kept the virtues of the deceased Wilsonburg continually fresh homy thoughts. I stood It bravely, giving no sign of uneasiness, until an ineldentoecur red which appeared to mil for some decision on my part. I had been a parent fur three weeks. The new comer was a boy. "Mark," said my wife one day, "what shall we mil the I ittle fellow 1" "I don't know I haven't thought anything about It. Most any respec table name will do, 1 suppose." "What do you think of John Wil sonburg 7" • This was too much. I straightened myself up In u digni lied 'manner, and prueceded -to ro• mark: "Madam! Witsonburg may :lave been a respectable man, fur ail 1 know, if ho had lived, and hail be come a parent, he would have had a perfect right to name his own in fant." ' - • ' This wasn't very strong language, bui, it was strong enough to bring tears from the eyes of Mrs. Marks, and cause her to say— " You are cruel! Wilsonburg never talked so to me." Wilsonburg boi4c=be—hanged! Ho never was a parent." And then there was a scene—the 144 in our married life—which had its conilnuauce at regular Intervals, until Mrs. Marks, through Irrita bility and exhaustion, faded like a Bower and withered like a leaf. Her lust voids were—" Bury me by the side of Wilson burg." The request was granted. This occurred two pairsago. There is to be another wedding shortly, af ter which the hopeful youth who mills me daddy, will have an opportunity to divide his affections.- She who is to be the bride this time, perhaps it is well to remark, hasn't had any experience in the husband business. I Italy be permitted,te add that I have no prejudice 'wiratever against widows—l - like them ; but I would not advise any one to marry one un less she furnishes gam' evidence that she dory not carry with her the ghost of her deceased comrade. • Then again (and it is only fair to saw it,) fastidious men, if they marry widows, should do so with the full understanding that there Is a differ emu between widows and malds,and make up their minds always to be charitable when necessity requires. The best course to pursue in order to have harmony, Is this: Let wid owers marry widows; then, if the latter shall refer to the virtues of the departed, the former may dwell up on the same theme, and between both, the dead will receive praise they never dreamed of before "shak ing off this•mortal aid." ....• •------- PRESIDENT GRANT'S ADMIN.

The following terse and emphatic remark of the President to Attorney General hoar, and quoted by the latter, the rivent New Etigiand dinner in New Voi k, is worthy to ire printed in letters of gold: "I hope tusee the time when e‘ery man in this country may have power to express his own °pluton, to follow whom he pleases, to vote us he and to have his Vote counted,wlthout molestation, or hindrance, or insult. If we ran only untie in maintaining public faith and credit, our politic different will not be of much ac count. The "Alabama" Claims. Thula ief but pointed allusions in 'the Presi dent's annual nitsage to "the only grave questiOn which the United States have with any foreign nation" must be fresh in the memory of all. And also his emphatic sentence: t i 2 " A sensitive people, eon. us of their power, are more at under a great wrong, wholly ,than k it and the restraint of a se lenient whit tisfits neither their hiws of Ju.sti or their grave sense of the grievance." If any amplification of the ground on which the nation stand on this question was needed, the masterly and unanswerable argument of See retary Fish, recently published, in vesting as it does with new Interest n theme so elaborately argued here. tofore, shows how faithfully the Ad-. ministration Is vindicating "I I w rights, dignity, and honor" of the United States. Cuba. The Prcsident's sympathies with "all ieoplc struggling fur liber ty and se t-government" are 'rankly stated in his lIIeSNI,V. But, while thus openly expressing them, he as frankly declares that, "nu matter how unpleasant the tusk," he has endeavored to execute our 'antra:li:: laws in good faith. On the mad' subject he thus spoke: "The people and Government of the United Stoics eutertain the same warm feelings and sympathies for the people of Cuba lu their pendinlz struggle that they manifested through' out the previous struggle between Spain and the former colonies in Is'. half of the latter; but the cent '.t ut no time aulued the conditions which amount to a war In the s'•asti of international law, or which would show the existence of . a de Judo po litical organization of the 'insurgents sufficient to justify q recognit . of belligerency." And he adds: "Our course should always be in conformi ty with strict Justice and law,interna tional and local;" which none of those criticising him can deny. The President believes, as his whole message proves, in the Golden ltule for nations as well ns individuals, Whatever our sympathies may ls•, he holds that we should act toward others wmetly as we would have lad others act toward' us during our recent struggle for national existanc":, or as we would have them act !tenni- • ter, if unhappily another dark cloud of civil war should ever overshadow r our hind.
