You ask me why I do not wed, Why I so long have tarried; When there's eo many to be had, Why do I not get married. Though perhaps I'm old enough to wed, I'm young enough to tarry Until my heart a partner choose, I'll surely never marry. True there were some I might have wee; Who cooly were rejected; •' For I'd rather live a lone old maid, Than no a wife—neglected. And some perhaps wouhrhave loved me well, I own I did respect them, But as I had no love to give, 'Tesoro right I should reject them. Some wed with those they do not love, To escape a single life, But less I dread an old maid's doom Than the fate of an unloved wife. An nnloired and unloving "wife— Oh ! what a life of sorrow ; For she who bears that dread name Can know no bright tomorrow. Her days pass by in endless strife, She can know pleasure never; Oh 1 I prefer to such a life, A single lot forever. For the Globe.] Learn to Say No. Ah! what wonders this little word has performed. There is not a word of greater import in the whole English language than is this little word of two letters. If we wish to have our lives characterized with firmness and dech. sion we must learn to say No. This brings to mind a remark I once heard an over indulgent mother make in re gard to an only son. A friend was commending her on her son's talents and genius. "I admit all you have said is true," remarked the fond mother, "but there is one sad defect in my boy's moral character—ho has never learned to say No." No, Frank Lee had never learned to say no. His pa rents were wealthy, and resided in one of vur large inland towns; were plea sure seekers, and sought in every so.- cial circle to win the approbation of the frivolous and gay; instead of lead ing in the gay routine of fashionable life, with no higher aim than to pass the time, they would materially im prove the society in which they mingle. There must be no wavering between yes and no when duty stands facing you and speaks as plainly as words and loudly bids i-ou obey the inward voice of conscience. If our great men who have made their lives conspicuous by noble acts and heroic deeds had not learned to say no they never would have been able to fill the positions they now occupy. Bullet us now return to Frank Lee. After an absence of several years, let us glance at his home. Do we find Frank the same gay and happy boy of former days. It needs but a glance to tell that ho has learned to taste the sparkling wine. Ah 1 his appearance is much changed from what it was in former days. When he returns home at night does he meat a loving moth er's smile ? Ah ! no, that mother who spoke of her son's weak point and ina bility to say no, has long since slept beneath the sod of the churchyard.— Oh ! the wine cup, the bright, spark ling wine cup, what misery thou host caused to thousands of unguarded per ono, who at first just pressed the wine cup to their lips because it was thought manly- to do so. In a community there are always perscus who can command an influence over others and very often that tendency may be for evil; when such is the case there are often many persons ruined by such an influence. Had they, had resolution enough to say no, they might have avoided the sad tendency which such an effect produ% ees. Then let me urge upon you, my young friends, learn to say no. If a young friend tries to induce you to ac• company him to the drinking saloon or any other place of amusement that your conscience tells you is wrong, say No, promptly. Do not waver between right and wrong. There is a beautiful text in the Bible which says, thou shalt say no; then think of this text and say no when urged to yield to temptation. A SERVICEABLE COAT.—Many years sifice an old German citizen of Pen dleton county, Ivhen about to lead his fair tifrau" to the hymenial altar, pur chased a broad cloth coat in which he was married. lie wife presented him with many children, among Whom were eight sons ppeiy one of whom wore marriedln the same coat in which their father married their mother. The youngest of the eight sons 'had seven sons; every one of whom were married in the same wedding coat; and after the youngest son of the original own or of the coat, had led his blushing bride to the altar iu his venerable grandfather's fashionable wedding coat, he sold it for the sum of ten dol lars.—Staunton Spectator.

Frum yyredisconisulate PHINEGAN MORE ABOUT TUE DRAFT. -Dr. Roth rock, near the conclusion of his report with respect to the drafts in this dis trict, writes as follows concerning the tricks of the lads who would "go for a sojer:" "In examination of substitutes and volunteers, we had more trouble with boys, not more than 14 or 15 years of age, than any class of men. They were frequently brought from a dis— tance—always chiming to be 18 years of age. They were so well drilled by the brokers having them in charge, that they would force a very full in spiration, strut about as erect as old soldiers, and go through every process of examination with as much activity as a set of lofty tumblers. They were taught before coming here that in this case there was no wrong in pretending to be several years older than they re• ally were. Slre rejected many boys who were over tbc - minimum standard, because they wet a undeveloped in bone and muscle, and evidently not over 15 years old. No reliance could be placed on the word of themselves or those in charge of them as to their ago. They presented every variety, from the stripling boy of 14, to that of full de— veloped puberty. "Again, old men over 50 years of age, came with their hair dyed, and in some cases with artificial teeth insert ed, claiming to be aliens and under 45 years of ago. These frauds were so easily detected, that I believe we were not in any instance imposed on by this class CM:111 "Of the mon examined, the number of Pennsylvanians largely preponder ated over all others combined, and in my opinion, they presented the great est physical aptitude for military ser vice. A very large proportion of Pennsylvanians furnished by this dis trict certainly cannot be excelled in symmetry of form, physical endurance and intellectual development by any equal number selected from any nas tionality. This is accounted for by the habits of industry, sobriety and frugality, with the fostering care of our common schools, for which Pennsyl vania in general, and this district in particular, are proveibiaf." ENGLISH IGNORANCE OF AMERICA.- Those who took the pains to peruse the speeches recently made by Sir Morton Peto and others of tho English capitalists' party, and who observed the simple *cinder expressed by them everywhere at everything they saw, can appreciate the profound ignorancO of oven the . most intelligent claSses in England concerning everything in America. Those gentlemen had had large amounts of their capital invested in this country for• years, had had it invested in the very way which, of all others, was most likely to make them familiar with our material character istics and development and, moreover, had been friendly to us during the wai, and, therefore, all the fnore likely to bo well informed about us; arid yet Christopher Columbus was not more astonished by what ho saw upon tho continent of America in 1492 than Sir Morton Peto and party were at what they saw iu 1865. Wanted--A New Method of Doing Honor to Distinguished Men. The Boston Advertiser thinks that any body who Will intent for use in this country a new method of doing honor to distinguished men, performs an act of humanity towards a deser ving but suffering class, and will do something to save the people of the United States from making themselves ridiculous before the world. At pres ent the methods in use appear to be three. The first of these is to sot the man whom we delight to honor in some public place where all corners may shako his hand. Now, handshaking, beyond the half dozen men whom the recipient of honors is glad to see, is an utterly insane process; beyond the first five minutes it becomes a labor ious process, and after the first fif teen minutes it is torture under which the strongest constitutions break down and before which the stoutest hearts quail. Moreover any man is supposed to have a reasonable choice as to the sort of people with whom he shall be brought in contact. Few of us think that even the Roman was any too fas tidious, who when before meeting his fellow citizens 'as a candidate, "bid them wash their faces and keep their teeth clean." But it is literally the "great unwashed'wbom we thrust upon any great man when wo sot him up in Fanouil Hall or in the City Hall of New York, to try his endurance by the pump handle process. The second method is to have a ser enade by appointment with a brass band and an enthusiastic street mob, and vociferous cries of 'speech, speech,' and unlimited champagne afterwards. Now a serenade in the stilly night by Romeo with his flute, listened to by Juliet at her window, with no bystan ders or dogs upon the lawn, is one thing;but this entertainment under gas light, with all the crowd and confusion and tumult of a city fire, is quite an• other thing, and not to be recognized from its name. To the object of the demonstration this speech making on the balcony, with the certainty of be• ing reported in the morning papers, is severe penance; while the scene in the supper room afterwards is alit to be simply disgusting. And finally, when we would do She thing with especial elaboration, the approved method is to have what is called with no appropriateness a "re ception," such as was extended to Gen. Grant in Now York the other night. Policemen with their clubs are usually the masters of ceremonies on such oc casions; detectives in plain clothes observe the movements of the spoons and forks; those who got out of the crush with their clothes whole upon their backs esteem themselves happy, and those who cannot get in are found to be happiest of all, the distinguished guest undergoes the extremity of corn pression and hustling in addition to the handshaking process; every ele ment of social enjoyment is squeezed out of the affair; and the result of it is that local dignitaries see themselves announced in the newspapers as the committee and managers and guests of an entertainment, about which everybody talks for a day and at which the better part of the commu. nity laugh with contempt. Absolutely it is to these methods that the people of this nation are redu. laed, when they would testify in a public manner their regard for a man whose name excites in every breast senti• ments of admiration, respect and grati tude. So clumsy are their efforts to articulate their feelings, tot it is only by subjecting him to the maximum of personal annoyance in the given time, that . General Grant or any hero can be duly assured that his countrymen honor his character and recognize his deeds. Is not American ingenuity ad equate to the task of contriving some other sort of public demonstration, which shall save us from the discredit and ridicule which so properly attends the essential and stereotyped vulgarity of the methods now in vogue? --- EMZI mr.

B.—When in the course of hu-- man events it becomes necessary for us to forsake, for a brief period, the 'ink kog' and 'roller,' and take our place in the chair, editorially, a dge respect for our vanity makes it incum bent on us to give the following notice, to wit : as follows : During this week all editorial favors, such as wedding cake, boquets, cigars, specimen whisky and other summer drinks, turkeys, and all the et ceteras that are part of the emolumentS Of our now position,should be sent to the "DEVIL."

Why is it that the State Colleges do not seem to grow so fast into public confidence, or in the number of stu dents, or in the amount of donations and endowments contributed for their support, as those schools under the control of some religious denomination? There is Lafayette College in this Stato, which is not yet a full genera tion old, and which was, we believe, first started in this city by Rev. Dr. George Junkin, and then removed to Easton as a Manual Labor School, is now, in addition to Princeton, becom. ing a most important and flourishing Presbyterian College. The present President, Dr. Cattail, though quite young, is full of energy, and wonder fully successful. Some time ago We alluded to the fact that Mr. Pardee, of Ilazelton, a gentleman of great wealth, had contributed $20,000 to this institu tion. Other gentlemen joined, on con dition that the subscription should reach $lOO,OOO. About 840,000 of this sum is still wanting, and Mr. Pardee has now come forward and tendered another 8100,000 to found a Scientific School, provided that the $40,000 is made up. In addition to this another gentleman has given $lO,OOO to erect a building for the pursuit of Natural Science. Rev. Dr. Green of Princeton, delivered the address at the laying of the corner stone of this building—a very able address indeed, extracts from which we laid before our readers a week or two ago Its faeulity is an able one, the venerable Professor of Natural Sciences especially having a high reputation, both at home and abroad. He has stuck to the institu tion in dark hours, when its prosperity seemed almost hopeless, and but $4OO a year each was all that could be given to the professors. Now he lives, in his old age, to witness a very great change in its condition and prospects, and his own department especially endowed and contributed to in a manner that a few years ago would have been. un- beard of even at Harvard or Yale. • We feel sure that the facts of the case need but to be mentioned, espe cially to the highly respectable and wealthy denomination under the care of whose Synod this College is placed —the Synod of Philadelphia—to secure the immediate raising of the sum that alone is wanting, about $40,000, to se cure the magnificent endowment now proposed by one of the broadest minds and noblest hearted gentlemen of our State—one who, though not himself educated in a college, or a member of the particular denomination to which this college belongs, has thus invested a portion of his wealth, from a deep respect for the wise and safe plans on which it is founded, a sense of its value to the State, and a high personal es teem for its excellent, energetic and truly pious President. If this plan is carried through, as no doubt it will be, that institution will have a property in buildings, grounds, professors' houses, college buildings and endowments of $250,000, without a cent of debt. But our reason for calling attention o this act of munificence is further to inquire why something similar should not be carried out in regard to the University of our own State, located in our own city? It is cheering to see how much of the accumulating wealth of our citizens is being bestowed on the endowment, of seats of learning. We spoke the other day of the munifi cent gift of half a million of dollars and an estate of sixty acres of land, given by I-lon. Asa Packer, to found the "Lehigh University," and of $lOO,- 000 raised for the "University" of Lewisburg. Why should not some of those gentlemen of wealth Whose sons have been, and aro being, educated 'ti the University in our own city, donate pecial funds to found professorships and schools in connection with it, that shall malfo it, especially in its course for under graduates, a perfect n 1 0. 40 1) worthy the chief city of our magnifi cent State. Will not the alumni and rustees take this matter up, so that parents and families may be brought here, and not forced to live elsewhere, who desire to give their sons the most perfect education the country can af ford, under their own eye. FLOWERS IN THE WINDOW.—There is nothing more attractive to the eye of the outsiders than the plants and flowers in the windows of houses dur ing the season When ga . rdoq culture is out of the question.

STATIONERY & MOSIo STORE Letter from Mrs, Enool r n • Mr. Carpenter, the artist, whq has been publishing in the Independmt his personal recollections of President, Lincoln, gives, in his last contribution the following extract of a letter fronu. Mrs. Lincoln : "Truly," writes Mrs. Limo,ln, "no sorrow has been like unto mine." am as broken-hearted over this over whelming affliction as when the terri ble tragedy first occurred, and, of course, realize it far moiT. I have lost the most loving and devpted othus bands, and ray dear boys the-best fath er that sons were ever blesied with. 'Until God's love shall place me by his side again,' I shall know no peace, or alleviation ofmy grief. Knowing him as you did, I am sure you can pardon and appreciate a wife's great sorrow over so untimely a loss ! * * "How I wish you could have beea with my dear husband the last three weeks of his life. Raving a realizini sense that the unnatural rebellion wee near its close, and being most of the time away from Washington, where he had passed through such conflicts of mind during the last four yeare— e feeling so encouraged, he freely gave vent to his cheerfulness. Down the Potomac, he was almost boyish in his mirth, and reminded me of his original nature,. as I remembered him in our own home, free from care, surrounded by those he loved. "That terrible Friday, I never Saw him so supremely cheerful. At three o'clock ho drove out with me in the open carriage. In starting, I asked him if any one should accompany us ? He immediately replied; 'No 'I prefer to ride by ourselves today.' During the drive be was so gay that I said-to him, laughingly: 'Dear husband, you almost startle me by your great cheer fulness.' Ho replied: 'And well I may feel so, Mary, for I consider this day the war has come to a close,' and theft added, 'We must both be more oheer ful in the future. Between the war, and the loss of our:darling Willie we have been very miserable.' Every word he then uttered is deeply engraA ved on my poor broken heart. In the evening his mind was fixed upon hay; ing some relaxation. *- * * I firm-, ly beleive that if ho had remained, in. the White House,on that night of dark.' ness when the fiends prevailed, he . would have been horribly out to pieces. Those fiends had too long contemplated this inhuman murder to have allowed, him to escape." LABOR SAVING-LABOR Labor saving'implements were once', thought to be destructive to the inter. eats of the working• man, just in. pro portion as they saved the drudgery : of labor. This seems reasonable at first, • but a little thought will correct the er; ror, How then do the farm laborers, thrown out of work by the introduc tion of improved implements, ultimate ly find work ? Plainly by the increas ed amount of tillage which horse pow er, machinery and tools make possible in the country. 'ln a section where% all the soil-is under cultivation of sorne , kind, it will lead to more thorough sys-,‘ tem of. farming. In the case of our' own country, it leads to the faster-ex , ; tension of civilization westward,the pid subjugation of wild lands, and the, better cultivation of that already un der the plow. For instance, the West-. ern grain grower, who now devotes, soventy.five to one hundred and fifty acres to corn and other grain crops, to the meager fabilities of thirty years ago, could not have managed- one, fourth that part amount in a similar: manner. This increase, of agrimature not only keeps geed the original num ber of farm lahorers,hut creates a new, demand fdi 'laborers in every oihe field of industry , . , Tibrkships- - 64 . 3diraik, roads are required for transportation; more manufacturing establishments, more mechanics to construct those,a,ndi men to manage them, more miners, machinists, ,etc. In fact, thb whole bo:, , dy politic thus receives vital refresh,. ment from every really labor-savi ng, invention. This is a forcible illustra.; tion of the fact that whatever fairly: advances the interests of ono class, be comes a benefit to all the classes in the, community.
