Tho lutter seem to bo tho most successful, and tho editor, plea' ding in behalf of tho maidens, says ; We do not think, in view of tho creat scarcity oi men, tlmt it U fair for widows to marry a second time, until all tno young maidens havo secured husbands. 1 hull's Ulaturo ought to attend to this matter, and protect tho interests of the young ladies, for without tho aid of legal enactments, tho widows are sura to uluv tho crab saiuo. They will, therefore, have to be restrained by tho strong arm of tho law, as wus done in the early colonial history of Virginia when the House of Burgesses passed au act of tho very character Indicated. It was found thnt all of tho young men imported Into tho colonv. were at once caught bv the widows, by superior wiles and strategoms, without any chance being allowed to the modest and retiring young maidens ; so the Legislature Iook me matter in uunu, aim win uavu to uo io again.

Mr. Slaker here started up, saying that he 'arose to a poiut of order. Tho Speaker requested tho honorable member to 'state his pitit.' Mr. Slaker said : " 'Is it in order fur a member of this house, iu his speech onto a dead man, to ring iu u boardiu' house ki p' by his uuut and furnished by himself?'1 Tho Speaker decided tho 'pint' to bo not well taken, und after a withering glance at Slaker, Mr. Ghcrken proceeded: "This is too solemn a time, Mr. Slaker, to notice personalities and side mark.

Due of the Anomalies of Literary History is, that it has oftcu been tho lot of those men who have contributed largely to tho mirth or recreation of others to endure more than art ordinary share of misery and want in their own lives. The most entertaining portions of literature have been written by men whose hearts have been bowed down by 6orrov, nnd at moments when that sor row has been heaviest. It was in the gloom of a mother's death, deepened by his own nnvoriv. that Johnsou pcnucd the cliaruiinir talo of "Russelas;" it was the chill desolation nf a Lara and fircless carrot that poor Gold smith, tho beloved vaguboud of literature, sketched tho highest picture of domestic happiness the world ever had; it was from a SICK liOCI, in sore tuairess, niui iu a nuueaei tous exile, that Tom Hood shook all Eng land with laughter.

AND JIAltROW ESCAPE FUOM DEATtl' Mr. William Perry (formerly mail carrier between this city and Johnson's Island), about 7 o'clock yesterday morning, dis covered a boat load ot persons fast in the ice, about thredfourths of a mile from tho city. Ho immediately launched his boat from tho dock of Osborn & Hill, at tho foot of Columbus avenue, and at once proceeded to the place of suh"ering.

The New York correspondent of tho Illi nois Journal says : "I am called upon io record ono of tho strangest phenomena of the times a grow ing unpopularity ot that most popular insti tution, thu marriage institution. It is an importaut fact, one full of the deepest sig nilicuuco, as well to political philosophy ns the lightest gossip, thut tho number ef mar riages is relatively growing less every year. Especially is this so in cities, and most soiu thu metropolis. The records of the public journals, the statements of solemnizing min isters, nnd the current observations of the Leans of families, ut 1 concur that there is a growing disinclination to many, which, though just apparent now, may soon become a serious matter. Thero havo been no mar riages of consequence in what may be termed "high life" this season, nor anything like the usual number among the middle classes.

"When a man reaches that deplorable condition that he has not a change of shirts to his back, he is iu a Ct condition for the sacrifice. That has always been a strong incentive to the altar-bound, that when for tune frowns her hardest, uud when things have gone to their worst, many a man defies fate, uud takes a wife. If his lot life im proves, and it can hardly do otlmrwise, he gives the institution the cretlit. In business circles, and iu a social scale, there has al ways been a premium ou marriage. 1 he man who takes a wife gives hostages to fortune, and has bound himself more firmly to the drudg ery of toil. Merchants nnd bankers raise the salary of a young man w hen he marries, aud frequently relusc to do it until then. It is remarkable that the extraordinary natural proncness towards the dir sex should not require hindrances instead of stimulants. i et it has passed into proverb that ll u man do not marry young, it grows less aud loss profitable to him, uud this is, pel haps after nil, tho best itrgumeul lor early mar riages.
