THE DILEMMA.
Now, by the blessed I'aphian queeu,
Who heaves the breast of sweet sixteen;
By every name I cut on bark
Before my iqprning star grew dark;
By Hymen's torch, by Cupid's dart,
By all that thrills the beating heart;
The bright bßck eye, the melting blue, —
1 cannot choose between the two.
I had a vision in my dreams; —
T saw'a row of twenty beams;
From every beam a rope was hung,
In every rope a lover swung;
I asked the hue of every eye,
That bade each luckless lover die;
Ten shadowy lips said, heavenly blue,
And ten accused the darker hue.
I asked a matron which she deemed
With fairest light of beauty beamed;
She answered, some thought both were fair—
Give her blue eyes and golden hair.
I might have liked her judgment well,
But, as she spoke, she rung the bell,
And all her girls, nor small nor few.
Came marcbiag in,—their eyes were blue.
1 asked a maiden; back she flung
"I he locks that round her forehead hung,
And turned her eye, a glorious one.
Bright as a diamond in the sun,
On me, until beneath its rays
1 felt as if my huir would blaze;
She liked all eyes but eyes of green;
She looked at me; what could she mean?
Ah! many lids Love lurks between
Nor heeds the coloring of his screen;
And when his random arrows fly,
1 he victim falls, but knows not why.
Gaze not upon his shield of jet,
The shaft upon the string is set;
Look not beneath his azure veil,
Though every limb were cased in mail.
Well, both might make a martyr break
The chain that bound him to the stake:
And both, with but a single rav,
Can melt our very hearts away;
And both, when balanced, hardly seem
To stir the scales, or rock the beam;
But that is dearest, all the while.
That wears for us the sweetest smile.
Ptoltaujiis.
INTERESTING DIALOGUE.
Wheat Meat—Cahhage - -Potatoes Ap
ples Grapes Beets Tomatoes
Bread—Cake—Aud some other Things
—And the Boys and Girls Besides.
SCENE — John Smith's Country Store —
TIME, Even ing — SPEAKERS, Sundry Vil
lagers, and Farmers who have "happened
in as usual."
Mr. Smith. —Trade is very dull nowadays;
1 don't sell baif as much a I did five years
ago.
Mr. .Jones.— Good reason. Things're so
high, we can't afford to buy. You charge
such awful prices, Smith.
Mr. Sm>'th. —Can't help it. I have to
pay so much more. When I sold sugar at
ID cents a pound. I made a cent a pound,
and only make a cent now ou 20 cents, and
this cent profit don't go so far to keep my
family.
Mr. Brown. —I buy just as much as ever.
I don t see as there is much change. I used
to sell my 000 bushels of wheat for 75 cents
a bushel, or $450. Of this, $250 went for
family store bills, and S2OO to pay off niy
farm debt. Now, when I sell for $1.50 per j
bushel, or S9OO, it takes about SSOO for j
store bills, and leaves S4OO to pay off the
debt. In fact, these high prices suit me. I
wish Mr. McCullocli had kept out of the
Treasury, for he threatens to make Green
backs par, and knock down prices.
Mr. Price. —I don't see a., it makes much
difference. If there is twice as much mon
ey going, and everybody gets twice as much
for everything he raises, and pays twice as
much for everything he buys, it all conies
out square at the end; and there is this gain
in tiie operation; those who save money, or
make a profit, make double, as neighbor
Brown explains about paying his farm debt.
Mr. Butler. —That's so.
Mr. Greene. —So I think.
Mr. Moore. —So do I.
Mr. BaJcer. —There is a little drawback. I|
keep the aecouuts of Widow Robert, who
has the mortgage on Mr. Brown's farm, and !
the S4OO he pays, don't go only half so far j
in supporting bor, and educating her chil- I
dren.
Mr. Travis (the School Teacher). —Yes it
does, for I only get S3O a month for teach
ing Mrs. Robert's and others' children, and i
I used to get $25, with wheat at 75 c.
Rev. Air. Corey. —And I only get S6OO a
yeaj, while 1 always had SSOO with wheat
at 75 cents and sugar at 10 cunts.
Several Voices. —That ain't quite square.
Mr. Knox, (Editor.) —And you only pay
me $2 a year for my newspaper, which you
thought cheap at $1.50 five years ago,
though I have now to pay three times as
much for every thing 1 use in making a
newspaper.
Afr. Greene. —Why don't you raise your i
prices, too?
Afr. Knox. —People won't stand it. I !
must keep along with no profit, or even at
a loss, hoping for better tunes, or else lose i
my subscribers, and let the paper go down.
Why, when I raised the price from $1.50 to
$2 a year, a good many stopped the paper
—among them Mr. Brown himself, though
I paid him double for his wheat.
Afr. Brown. —l didn't stop it so much ;
for the price; I went in for paying for my
farm by extra economy.
Air. Knox. —Yes, he followed my advice
for people "to economize and pay their
debts now. " But let us see if Mr. Browu
began at tbe-right place. On one Saturday
1 published iu my paper that wheat had ad
vanced 15 cents a bushel. (In Monday Mr.
Brown went to market with his wheat, and j
sold 60 bushels at one cent advance over
the old price, and t bought he did well, lie
came home boasting about it, uutil he met
neighbor Johnson, who got the ioeentsad
vuuee, because he read my paper, and was
wide awake. Mr. Brown's loss on 60 bush
els would pay four whole years' subscrip
tion.
Air. Btown. —Don't say anything mora
about that, Mr. Knox, and put me down a
subscriber for life.
Air. Knox. —I have heard of several oth
er such losses by those who stopped my pa
per. Not to be too personal, as some of
them are here, I will call them A, B, C, etc.
Mr. A. paid 4 per cent more fees on s7l
taxes, because he did not see the collector *
A LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO p OL ITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND MORALS.
notice in my paper, and thus lost $2.84, to
save $2. Mr. B. paid $3.60 the same way.
Mr. C. failed to bring in his claim
against an estate, because he did not see in
my paper the legal notice limiting the time.
That, cost him $34, to save $2 subscription.
Mr. D. sold 200 pounds of wool at 62 cents,
because he did not see an advertisement of
Mr. Smith, right here at home, offering 70
cents. I'hat cost him sl6, to save $2. Mr.
F's boys went down to the village every
night or two, to get the news and local gos
sip, because they had no paper at home,
and one of them fell into bad company, and
is ruined. I know twenty cases where peo
ple lost money for not learning; whirls go"
ing on. I gather np all that is going on in
business and society, and condense it into
my columns. It is important for every man
to know all about homd matters, and I doubt
if there is a man in this whole town who
would not, in the course of a year, get some
information, that would pay him back more
than $2 a year. And then think of a house
hold sitting down together 365 days in a
year, and having nothing to talk about, ex
cept their own affairs, and a few items of
gossip, gathered up by occasional contact
with other people.
Mr. Taylor. - -Let me help Editor Knox's
argument. Wife read to me an item he
published about a humbug, which he copied
from the American Agriculturist, of New
York City. Next day one of those same hum
bugs came round with his article, and was
so plausible that he almost persuaded her
into paying him $3, for his swindling re
ceipe; but the edi ors caution kept her
back.
Mr. Knox. —Yes, and do you know that
the fellow sold more than fifty of the hum
bug recipes hereabout, at $3 a piece '? hut
not to any one of my subscribers.
Mr. Potts. —Put me down as a subscriber,
Mr. Knox, here Is your two dollars.
Mr. Shaw. —And me too.
Mr. Knox. —Thank you. gentlemen. I'll
try to make a bettor paper than ever. Eve
ry dollar helps; a new subscriber only adds
to my ex pen so the cost of paper. If every
body took the paper, and thus divided the
cost of getting news, setting type, office
rent, etc., I could double the value of the
paper to each. Please talk the matter over
with other neighbors and see, if it cannot be
done.
Several Voices. —We will.
Mr. Smith. —And now while you are
about it, 1 want to make up a club for a
good New York paper.
Mr. Brown. —We can't afford to take so
many papers.
Mr. Smith. —You have just seen that
you could not afford to stop your home pa
per; let us see ii it will not pay to join our
club. Mr. Rich, you have taken the Amer
ican Agriculturist for several years. Does it
pay f
Mr. Rich. —Pay? Yes, fifty times over.
Why I got two ten-acre fields ready to sow
to wheat, and put in one of them. That
night my Agriculturist cauie, and I read a
simple recommendation about preparing
seed wheat, leaded John and we put 15;
bushels iu soak for the next day. It cost j
50 cents for the materials. Well, that sec- j
ond field yielded 5 bushels an acre mora than j
the other—or 50 bushels extra, and better |
wheat too. Pretty good pay for $1.50 ex- I
pended for a paper. Aud I have got lots of,
other hints almost as profitable. You know
I get better pofits on my beef, pork and j
mutton, than any other man iu the place.
Now does this not come frotu any direct
hint, like the wheat, but from a good many
suggestions that I have picked up in read
ing the Agriculturist , and from *tlie course
of reasoning that I have been led into, by
reading in it what others do, and think, and
say-
Mr. Smith. —You are another subscriber
to the Agriculturist, Mr. West ; does it
pay ?
Mr. IVest. —Pay? Yas. Y'ou know what
good cabbages and potatoes I had last sea
son. Why, the cabbages were worth double ,
any other in town, for ' -t or for home
use. I had 400 heads, worth 5 cents a
piece, extra; aud they only cost 20 cents ex
tra for seed. My 250 bushels of potatoes
are all engaged for seed at $1.50 a bushel,
when other kinds bring only 50 cents. That's
$250 clear gain, for the sl4 extra I paid :or
seed, and the $1.50 I paid for tiie Agricul
turist. It was through this paper that I
learned about both the cabbages and pota
toes. Its editors are careful, intelligent
men, on' the constant lookout for anything
new that is really good, while the paper
abounds in cautions against the poor and
unprofitable.
Mr. Smith. —What say you, Mr. Taylor?
I)oe3 it pay to invest $1.50 in the Agricul
turist.
Mr. Taylor. —Most certainly. A hint in
the paper led uie to look after certain in
sects at the proper time, and the result was,
I had 160 barrels of splendid apples, which
brought me a clean $5 per barrel, and this
you know was better by SJ, than the aver
age prices here, or $l6O. Then I have read
so much about good and bad Grapes, the
method of treating them, etc., that I can
beat the town iu raising grapes profitably.
My son, William, got a kink in his head
about Tomatoes, from something the Edit
ors said, and sent for some seed, lie made
more money on the crop raised iu his spare
hours, than was cleared by half the farmers
in this town.
Mr. Smith. —Let's hear from Mr. Crane.
Mr. Crane. —I only read in the paper
what was said about hogs—what kind paid
best, how to feed them, and the like; but if
you will call around and see my porkers, and
my expense account, I'll bet a pippin I can
■how fifty dollars more of pork for the same
money, than uny other man here. And this
comes from reading what other men think
and do. But wife ought to be here to speak.
She and the girls read the Agriculturist
next to the Bible. They think the house
hold department is worth more than all the
fashion magazines in the world. They say,
it is so full of good hints about all kinds of
house work. All I can say is, that we do
have better bread and cake; aud wife says,
the cake don't cost so much as it used to.
She has learned from the paper how a hun
dred other house-keepers do their work.
Rev. Corey. —Let me say, also, that Mrs.
Crane and her daughters have added a good
many beautiful but cheap home-uiade fix
tures to their parlor and sitting rooms,
which certainly makes their home attract
ive. They told me the other day. they got
these up from pictures and descriptions in
the Agriculturist.
Mr. Travis. —My tlilary hat not allowed
me to take the paper; though I must squeeze
out enough to do so this year. My school j
boy's have brought tne some copies to look
at, the past year or two, and I find theßoynj ;
and Girls' department of the Agriculturist
the best thing I ever saw. Lt is full of
items, etc., that amuse and at the same
time iustruct the children. Why, I could
pick out the boys and girls in my school ;
whose parents take the Agriculturist , just
by hearing them talk—they are so full of
new and good things they have learned from i
the paper. The paper has many beautiful
engravings.
Rev. Ccrr.y. —As small as is my salary, I
BEDFORD, Pa., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY a, 1866.
would have the paper if it east $5 a year,
instead of $1.50. The fact is, it helps out
my salary My little garden pilot at the
parsonage has yielded us almost all our table
vegetables, besides many beautiful flowers.
The Agriculturist has been my constant
guide. I knew but little of gardening; but
this paper is so full of information about
the best things to plant and sow, when to
plaut, and how to cultivate—all told in so
plain and practical away, by men who seem
to talk froia their experience, that I know
just what to do, and how to ao it well. The
high moral tone of the paper, its common
sense, the care it takes or,all parts of the
Farm, the Garden, theOrehatU —the House
hold work, and the Children as well, with
its hundreds of beautiful and instructive en
gravings—make it the most valuable period
ical I have ever seen. I heartily wish every
one of my parishoners would take it for
himself anil family. It would awaken
thought and enterprise, give interest to the
town and neghborhood talk, stimulate im
provement, introduce new and profitable
crops, animals and implements, and add to
our wealth. Take my advice, and all of you
try the paper a year. The $ 1.50 it costs, is
only three cents a week, and it is worth that
anyway. Why the large and beautiful en
gravings are worth many times that.
Mr. Davis. —l took the Genesee Farmer
last year, and as that has stopped, I thought
I would take a new paper.
Mr. Smith. —The "Genesee Farmer" was
not really stopped. The Publisher of the
Agriculturist invited Mr. Harris to join the
Farmer to the Agriculturist , and put his
whole force into the latter paper. They paid
him a large price for his office, and moved
it with everything connected with it to their
office. So the Agriculturist is really two
papers joined into one, and of course better.
1 think we better go with Mr. Harris to the
Agriculturist, that has been published for
25 years, and has a hundred thousand circu
lation, which, as Mr. Knox has told us, sup
plies the means and facilities for givnig us a
great deal more for the same money. Mr.
Harris carries on his large farm, and in his
"Walks aud Talks on the Farm," and other
things he writes for the Agriculturist, he
tells us a great deal about all kinds of farm
work.
Mr. Davis. —Put me down for the Agri
culturist.
Mr. Smith. —1 am glad to do so. I know
you will like it. The January number, which
has just come to hand, is alone worth the
cost of a year, t See here, (showing it.) there
are 40 pages, twice as large as the magazine
pages, and tnere are thirty-Jive engravings
in it, two of them full page size, and see
how beautiful! Why, I'D give any man
who takes the papers a year, a dollar and a
half iu goods out of my store, if he says at
the end of a year he has not got many times
his money's worth.
Mr. Butler. —Put me in your club.
Mr. Greene. —And me too.
Mr. Brown. —And me.
Mr. Smith. —l have no interest in the
matter, except to do a good thing for the
place. You can join our l' O>, or any one
who desires can get the Agriculturist for all
of 1866 (volume 25), by simply enclosing
$1,50, with his name and post office address,
and sending it to Orange Judd A Co., 41
Park ltow, New York City. The paper
always comes prompt and regularly, and,
what is a good thing, it stops when your
time is up, without you having to write
about it. 1 predict that there will be plenty
of others next winter, to talk as Mr. Rich,
Mr. West, Mr. Crane and Parson Corey
have done to night.
HOW TO PKOSPEITTN Bl SINESS.
In the first place make up yqur mind to
accomplish whatever you undertake; decide
upon some particular employment; perse
vere in it. All difficulties are overcome by
diligence and assiduity.
Be not afraid to work with your own
hands and diligently too. "A cat in gloves
catches no mice."
He who remains in the mill, grinds; not
he who goes and comes.
Attend to your business and never trust
to another. "A pot that belongs to many
is ill stirred and worse boiled.
Be frugal. "That which will not make a
pot will not make a pot lid."
"Save the pence and the pounds will take
care of themselves."
Be abstemious. "Who dainties love shall
beggars prove."
Rise early. "The sleeping fox catcher no
poultry." "Ploueh deep while sluggards
sleep, and you will have corn to sell and
keep."
Treat every one with respect and courte
sy. "Everything is gained and nothing lost
by civilty. Good manners in>ure success.
Never anticipate wealth front any other
source than labor; especially never place de
pendence upon becoming the possessor of an
inheritance. "He who waitsfor dead men's
shoes may have to go for a long time bare
foot." "He who runsaftara shadow has a
weariesome race."
Above all things never dispair. "God is
where he was." Heaven helps those who
help themselves."
follow implicitly these precepts, and noth
ing can hinder you from prospering.
THE REAL INTEREST OF TIIE
FARMER.
Nothing can be more absurd then the no
tionthat the interests ofthe manufactures are
inimical to those of the agricultural classes.
The latter want first a good market for their
crops, and second, reasonable prices for the
articles they consume. No one can say that
the farmer is much the bet ter for depend
ing on a foreign market for his crops, as the
vast spaces to be traversed s,nd the compe
tition encountered abroad from the products
of Russia, etc.. necessitate the appropria
tion ofthe greater part ofthe money realiz
ed abroad from the sale of our crops to pay
the expenses of transportation.
So much is this the ease, that large por
tions of the western crops will not even bear
the cost of freight to the eaboard. If man
ufactures can be established all over the
west, a home market of steadily increasing
magnitude will be provided for the western
crops, aud then the greater part of the prof
its will insure to the farmer. So far, then,
as the sale of his crops is concerned, it is to
the farmer's interest to encourage home
manufactures, since they furnish him with
a better and more reliable market for his
products. Next, as to the obtaining of
manufactured goods at reasonable rates,
that ie tho very object of establishing facto
ries at his own door, Siuce, however, the
products of the-e factories may in the be
ginning be high r. they must in the end be
come lower thau the prices of goods sent
over thousands of miles of land or sea. with
the profits of many different handlings ac
cumulated upon them before reaching the
consumer. It L oloar, therefore, that it is
to the interest of the farmer to encourage
protection. — Phila. X. Amer.

THEY ALL WILL DO SO.
A young man, the son of a well to do far
mer, had the misfortune to become deeply
enamored of a young lady, and after a brief
courtship, proposed and was accepted. But
what was his surprise one evening, when
entering the parlor with the unceremonious
freedom of a young lover, at discovering his
young inamorata upon the sofa, her arms
around the neck of a neighboring youth,
and her lips in such blissful proximity to his
as to convince our hero that matters were
fearfully in earnest In a rage and mortifica

solicitude, questioned him as to the cause of

Proposed Union of the Anglican, Roman
and Greek Churches.
The New York Express has an article on
this vexed question—the proposed union of
the Anglican, Roman and Greek churches
under the auspices of Rev. l)r. Pusey, who
seems to be using all his powers to bring
about a union with the Church of Rome, ft
a [i pears that not only L it advocated by Dr.
Pusey, but many of the most eminent in
fluential scholars aud the ologians attached
to the establishment are giving it counte
nance. And what is to be especially noted,
is the further fact, that the proposition is
apparently finding masked favor with some
of the most eminent of the Roman Catholic
hierarchy themselves, in England as well as
in France.
The ways aud means of promoting such a
Union, of course are but dimly foreshadowed.
On both sides the utmost caution is observed
with a prudent avoidance of specific details
which indicates a lively conviction in ihe
minds of both parties of the extreme delica
cy of the subject, to say the least of it.
This much however, seems to be certain
that at the very start both sides must be
prepared to surrender something both as
regards things temporal and things spiritual
For example, the Anglican Unionists, as
represented by Dr. Pu.ey, will have to give
up their prejudice against praying for the
Saints, while the Romanists must abandon
the dogma of the immaculate conception of
the Blessed Virgin. The Anglicans must
■eserve the Tridentine Creed, not as at pre
sent interpreted, indeed, but in such away
as to render it capable of acceptance by the
English Church, while the Romanists must
a baa don the universal primacy of, the Pope
that is to say, they must be content to have
him reduced to the level of a Bishon—not
the head of the Visible Church on Earth,
but simply as Bishop of Rome, neither hav
ing nor exeicising powers superior to those
which may be lawfully claimed or exercised
by other Bishops.
The Re-Unionist, however, do not propose
to stop here. Some of them propose to
bring in the Greek Church also, and to this
it is contended that there are no obstacles
in the way that need b< deemed insuperable
with men imbued with a sincere spirit of
Christian unity. It is a well known fact
that some such ovi rtures to the Greek
Church have already b :en made,on the part,
not only of the Englis i Church, but by the
Episcopal Church in he United States, —
and with a degree of encouragement, we are
informed bv those w 10 favor the project,
justifying the expectation of ultimate suc
cess.

The Negro Suffrage Bill.
Wa Hi.NUTON. Jan. 18.
The announcement Jiat a vote would be
taken this afternoon, upon the question of
colored suffrage, drew a large crowd to the
galleries of the House and caused a full at
tendance of members. The closing of the
debate was given to Governor Boutwell, of
Massachusetts, who, in a bri*f speech, en
tranced the House an l galleries by one of
the finest oratorical efforts that has been
witnessed in the House for many years.
While all parties have conceded to him
much ability, it remained for his speech to
day to give him the palm as one of the very
finest orators and ablest statesmen in this
Congress.
The motion to postpone, then the motion
to recommit to the Committee with instruc
tions to amend were voted down, the Dem
ocrats voting against both in order to get a
vote upon the originai bill to strike out the
word "white" wherever it appears in the
District Laws. This ;urnof affairs brought
the issue down to a point which was met
promptly by the Republicans voting almost
solid for the bill (116 and the Union
Democrats from the Border and the
Northern Democrats, numbering in all 52
votes, against it. Raymond, of New York,
voted for the bill on it > final passage.
On the announcement of the vote there
was a loud clapping o hands by the mem
bers on the Republican side, an 1 the galle
ries joined in the appL use. The Speaker's
gavel fell loudly, and iie announced that if
members would not keep the rules adopted
bv themselves we should not attempt to en
force them on galleries. Amid much con
fusion and excitement an adjournment was
i carried.
Why do recriminations of married i ouples
resemble the sound of waves on the sea
shore ? Because they are murmurs of the

DIETING.
Is usually considered to mean the same
thing as a kind of starvation. The idea
which the educated physician attaches to the
term, is a judicious regulation of the quan
tity and quality of the food, according to
the circumstances of each case. A healthy
manmaydiet himself in order to keep well;
un invalid may diet himself with a view to
the recovery of his health: yet the things ea
ten by the two will widely differ in their
nature, bulk, and mode of preparation. A
vast multitude are suffering hourly by the
horrors of dyspepsia; no two are precisely
alike in all points, since there is an endless
variety of combinations as to age, sex. occu
pation. air, exercise, mode of eating, sleep
ing, constitution, temperament, etc. Yet
dyspepsia is always brought on by over and
irregular eating; it could"be banished from
the world in a generation, if the children
were educated to eat moderately, regularly,
and slowly; the parents who do this will do
their offspring a higher good than leaving
them large fortunes, which, in three cases
out of four, fo.-ter idleness, gluttony, and
every evil thing. As the rich can get any
thing to eat or drink when they want it, they
with indulged children, bring on dyapepsia
by eating irregularly and without an appe
rite. The poor—those who have to work
fora living—induce the horrible disease by
eating too rapidly and at unseasonabl hours;
mainly by eating heartily at supper, and go
ing to bed within an hour or two afterward.
In the heyday of youth and manly vigor,
there may not for a while be noticed any
special ill effect from such a practice—in
truth, it is at first, inapprecible, but it is cu
mutative, and impossible not to manifest it
selfin due time. Infinite benevoleace for
gives a moral delinquency; but, omnipotent
as he is, and loving towards all, it is not in
the nature of his government of created
things to work a mircale to suspend a nat
ural law. in order to shield one of his crea
tures from the legitimate effects of a vio
lence offered the physical system by excesses
in eating, drinking, or exercise.
Perhaps hearty suppers make more dys
peptic than any or all other causes combined.
If dinner is at noon, nothing should be ta
ken for supper but a single cup of weak tea,
or othor hot drink, and a piece of stale bread
and butter. After forty years of age, those
who live indoors, sedentary persons—that is
all who do not work with their hands as
laborers—would do better not to take any
supper at all. Half the time the sedentary
who eat at noon, do not feel hungry at
supper; especially if they see nothing on the
table but bread, and butter, and tea. But
nature is goaded to act against her instincts
in almost every family in the nation by
"relishes ' being placed on the supper table,
in the shape of chipped beef, salt fish, cake,
preserves, or other kinds of sweetmeat, and,
before the person is aware, a hearty meal
has been taken, resulting in present un
oomfiortablenesa, in disturbed sleep, in a
wearey in the morning, bad taste in the
mouth, and little or no appetite for break
fast, all of which can be avoided by begin
ning ear y to eat habitually, according to
the suggest ions above mad e. — BnWt Jonr

A BACHELOR'S DEFENCE.
The wretch who wrote the following has
very wisely, for his aw* safety, omitted to
give us any clue by which he could be iden
tified:
Bachelors are styled by married men who
have put their foot into it, as only half per
fected beings, cheerless vagabouds, but half
a pair of scissors, and many other titles are
given them; while, on the other hand, they
extol their state as one of perfect bliss, that
a change from earth to heaven would be
somewhat of doubtful good. If they are so
happy, why don't they enjoy their happiness
and hold their tongues about it? W hat do
half the men get married for? Simply that
they may have some one to darn their stock
ing#, sew buttons on their shirts, and trot
their babies; that they may have somebody,
as a married man once said, to pull off their
boots when they are a little balmy.' These
fellows are always talking of the loneliness
of bachelors. Loneliness indeed! Who is
petted to death by ladies who have daugh
ters? invited to tea and to evening parties,
and told to drop injust when it is convenient
The bacheh r. \\ ho lives in clover all his
days, and when he dies has flowers strewed
on his grave by the girls who couldn't en
trap him? The bachelor. Who strews
flowers on the married man's grave? His
widow? Not a bit of it; she pulls down his
tombstone that a six weeks' .rrief has set up
in her heart, and goes and gets married
again—she does. Who goes to bed early
because time hangs heavily on his hands?
The married man. Who haa wood to split
house hunting and marketing to do, the
young ones to wash and the lazy servants to
look alter? The married man. Who is arres
ted for whipping his wife? The married
man. Who gets divorced? The married
man. Finally, who has got the Scripture
on his side? The bachelor. St. Paul knew
what he was talking about when he said,
He that marries does well; but he that mar
ries not does better."
WHAT A NEWSPAPER DOES FOR
NOTHING.
The following article should be read and
pondered well by every man who takes a
newspaper without paying for it.
My observation enables me to state, as a
fact, that the publishers of newspapers are
more poorly rewarded than any other class
of man in the United States who invest an
caual amount of labor, capital and thought.
They are expected to do more service for less
pay. to stand more sponging and "dead head
ing," to puff and defend more people with
out fee or hope of reward, than any other
class.
They credit wider and longer, get oftener
cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss, are of
tener the victims of misplaced confidence
than any other calling in the community.
People pay a printer's bill with mnch more
reluctance than any other. It goes harder
with them to expend a dollar on a valuable
new-paper, than ten on a needless gewgaw;
yet evt. 17 body avails himself of the use of
the editor's pen and the printer's ink.
How many professional and political le
putations aud fortunes have been made and
sustained by the friendly though unrequited
nen of the editor? How embryo towns and
| cities have been brought into notice and
1 puffed into prosperity by the press? How
many railroads now in successful operation,
: would have foundered but for the "lever
that moves the world?' In short what
branch of industry or activity has not been
promoted, stimulated and defended bv the
j press?
And who has tendered it more than a
. miserable pittance for its mighty services?
The bazaars of fashion and the haunts _f
diasipation aud appetite are thronged with
an eager crowd, bearing gold in their palms
i and the commodities there needed are sold
at enormous profits, though intrinsically
worthless, and paid for with scrupulous
punctuality; while the counting room of the
newspaper is the seat of Jewing, cheapen
ing, trade, orders and pennies. It is made
i a point of honor to liquidate a grog bill, but
not of dubonvr to repudiate a printer'# bill.

ANECDOTE. —A Western farmer who
wished to invest the accumulations of his
industry in the United States securities,
went to Jay Cook's office to procure the
treasury notes. The clerk inquired what
denomination he would have them in? Hav
ing never heard that word used excepting
to distinguish the religious sects, he, after
a little deliberation, replied: "Well, you may
give ine part in Old school Presbyterians to
please the old lady, but give me the heft
on t it in Freewill Baptist."
FUNNY YET BEAUTIFUL.—A peculiar ge
nius furnishes the following poetic conceit:
Insects must generaly lead a jovial life.
Think what it must be to ledge in a lily!
Imagine a palace of ivory or pearl, with
pillars of silver and capitals of gold, all ex
haling such a perfume ceaserl Fancy, again,
the fun of tucking yourself, up for the night
in the folds of a rose, rocked to sleep by the
gentle sighs of a summer air, and nothing to
do when you wake but to wash yourself in
a dew drop, and fill to and eat your bed
clothes.
THERE is nothing that takes the starch
out of an aristocrat so soon as to nominate
him to some office that comes before the
people. He's fawning as a dog, and at. po

to take the starch out of tne ruffled shirt
geutry than anything else.

An Irish emigrant , hearing the sunset

A bachelor and a young lady bought some
tickets in partnership in a lottery at the re
cent Sanitary Fair at Millwaukie. agreeing
to divide the proceeds equitably. They drew
a double bedstead, a baby crib, and a lunch
basket, and the question is, how to divide
them, o? whether they shall not use them
"jintly."
Bad luck ie simply a man with his hands
in his breeches pockets and a pipe in his
mouth, looking on to see how it will come

difficulties, his sleeves rolled up, working to
make it come out right.
When is a smack on the mouth no offense
When it is received from the lips of a pret

Miss Gould, the poetess, gives a ludicrous
incident in reference to a poem she had

General Grant gives his opinion that it is
not desirable at present to remove the Uni
ted States troops from States lately in re

the militia as a method to be relied on to
preserve the tranquility of the South. —
Counsel from such a source will probably be
heeded.

PREPARING FOR A STORM.—A few nights
ago, Mr. Bodkin —who had been out taking
his glass and pipe—on going home late,
borrowed an umbrella: and when hi# wife's
tongue was loosened, he sat up in bed, and
suddenly spread the parachute. "What are
you going to do with that thing?" said she.
"Why, my dear, 1 expected a very severe
storm to-aight, and so I came prepared."; In
less than twenty minutes Mrs. Bodkin was
fast asleep.
Bft, Whenever a man renegades from one
