Such persons mi st, before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that a sound mind uud bady are the most necessary requisite to promote conuubiul happi ness.

A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided aud imprudent votary of pleasure Cuds that be has Imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too often happen that an ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deter him from applying to those who, from education aud refpcetubility, can alone befriend liim, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, tioelural puius in tbe head aud limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on tbe shin bones and anus, blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till nt last tbe fialate uf the mouth or the bones of the nose full u, and tbe victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts a period to hi dreadful suileiiug, by sending him to " that Undiscovered Country from, whence uo traveller returns." It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through falling into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi son, Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, and Incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer month after month taking their noxious or iu. juriou compouuds, and instead of being restored to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, iu dos pair leav hlra with ruined Health to sigh over hi galling disappointment.

Tho fragrant wild roses lifted their jiink chalices up towards the sunahiue and dew of tho July heavens; the robins sans up ronrous glues iu the branches of the old nit pie orchard; and neither rose nor robin was fairer or sweeter-voiced thau Bessy llay as she stood among tho currant bushes, culliug tho red, ripe, fruit under tho shado of it huge jwar tree, where the stone wall of the pardon was draped with the emerald festoons of a wild critpc-vino, while l'aul lirtcott stood leaning against tho mossy trunk of tho pear tree, twisting a bunch of blue bells in his hand. "i know I'm poor, Ucssy," said lie, re suming a conversation which had appa rently lapsed iuto silcuco for a tnoni'int or two, "but I stipposo poor people have as much right to live and be happy as rich ones." "I suppose so too, raul." "Ami I nni sure I am willing to work if only I could flud somethiugto do." Ue."sy glanced deprecatingly at him. "Mr. Klton wants some ono to lake the farm and work it " 'That is mere drudgery, and besides the pay would not enable uio to marry and support a wife comfortably. ' "We could wait, l'uul." "You are very willing," said the young man, bitterly. "I don't believe, lle.sy, that you care for me as I do for you." "O, raul!" And a painful look catuo over the fair young face. "Well, then, what do you think of be ing tutor to Mr. Sinclair's little boys?" 'iuanu you; i don't fancy the idea oi being toad-eater to a pompous aristocrat like Henry Sinclair." "JJul, l'aul, we cau't always bo and do what we like in this world," pleaded Bessy with a troubled look shining iu her tender, garuet-broivn eyc9. "Easy philosophy for you." And tho young man. Hung down his stein ol blue bell. "1 suppobo you would like to have mo break stones upon the roads. I thought you, at least, could sympathize with the feelings of a gentlemau." "So I do, l'aul; but I believe in the Scripture doctrine of man's doiug with all li is might whatever hi bauds liuds so to do." "I see how it is," said Paul Escott, haughtily, "you are weary of our engage ment; you want to break the worldly fet ters that bind you. Very well, so let it be. You are free." Anil he strode away over tho high grass muttering something about having sus pected how it would turn out, ever siuco .Norton Vau litugh had come down from Loudon to sketch the scenery aud turu tbe heads of all the girls. Uessy Hay tuado a step or two to over take him, but she checked herself iu an in stant with a scarlet stain on her cheek aud a gathering mit in her eyes. "He ought to know betler,and ho does," she thought. "No, I will not follow liim. llo will como back when the momentary pique has woru itself away." Iu tho meantime, Paul, vaulting over the stone wall a lew paces below, had verv nearly stumbled over tho prostrate form of a man lying among the ted clover blossoms in the island of shade cast by au umbrage ous tree, and reading. "Mr. Vau lit ugh." Tiie young artist glanced up with a look orscorti, showing his loag dark eye-lashes. Paul bit his lip. "Engaged iu a uoble occupation of eaves dropping, ch?" he muttered. "Come, uow, Eseott, dou't bo crusty ; I didn't mean to overhear your conversation but what was a fellow to do? This is tho jolliesl place on the whole farm, aud I was not to blame because Miss Hay came out lookiug like Hebe's sell to gather red cur rants, aud you follow her shadow. Come, let's go down by the trout stream, and talk over matters aud things iu general. Are you iu earuest about wanting souictbiu to do?" "Of courso lam." "Then suppose you just glance oyer this letter that 1 received this morning from my uucle. I've uo idea of expatriating my self among the pig-tailed celestials for all the fortunes that ever were made, liut for au ambitious man read the letter, that's all." Paul Escott obeyed, almost dazzled for tho moment by tho brilliant prospects it Bcemed to open. "You really give mo tho privilege of ac cepting or refusing this situatiou," bo ex claimed. "1 really do, and considering that I do not want it myself, it is uo very great stretch of generosity on my part. Only you see, you have to decide at ouce, aud bo in the city to report yourself at tuy uncle's couutiug-house within four aud twenty hours." Paul sprang up flushed and eager. "I'll do it. I'll show HoBsy Uay that I am no do-nothing after all, and wheu a mo tive really worth my while presents itself, liut," glancing at his old-fashioned silver watch, which contrasted so markedly with Mr. Vau Urugh's elegant lull jeweled chronometer, "I have uo time to lose." "Xot tt second." "" . "But my trunk ?" "You can get what you need iu town ; my uncle supplies the outfit." "And Bessy r" "Write to 'her to-ni"ht : mv undo will forward the letter under cover to mo, and I will seu that she gets it." Paul Escott wrung his companion's hand. "You are very kind," ho replied huskily; "I had almost grown to regard you with distrust." Van Bfugh laughed showing his dainty pearl-white teeth under a brown mustache. "Xevur judge by appearauees," he said. "Tako my word for it, Miss Hay will ex cuse all Jack of tereivouy when she Icans all," "Mr. Van Urugh accompanied Paul to tho railway station, and saw him oil', with a smilingly uttered profusion of good wishes. "The best friend a fellow ever had 1" thought Paul as tho train moved off. But he could not see the sardonic grin to which the curve of tho farewell smile alter ed when tbe little couutry station was left once more to sileuce and loneliness. "Xow," said iTortou Van Brugh, "I shall havo tho field all to myself. St ran go how fascinated I have allowed myself to be come with a mere couuUy girl I But there certainly is something very winning iu her type of beauty." Bessy Hay never answered Paul Escott' farewell letter ; nor did tbe latter once sus pect that it was because Mr. Van Brugh sever bad delivered it. raul fling up under tbe fevered impulse .MARCH 22, 1873. of his old enemv, jealously took refuge in silence. Xor (lid a long epistle from his Auut Jemima, which contained more news possible and Impossible than any gov ernment bulletin, serve to cool tho tlamcs. "Folks say," wroto the epistolary spin ster, "that Eliza Hay is going to marry the widower, Sinclair, becauso he's rich. There was a deal of talk about her and that young Van Brugh, but he went away all of a sudden loiks thought it likely with a flea in his car. Eliza knows pretty well which side her bread is buttered on, and Sinclair can't live long with that cough of his," It was no wonder that when pretty lJcssy Hay made an excuse to come to Aunt Je mima's and asked wistfully aud with a cer tain quiver iu her voice if Paul's letter con tained no message for her, tho elderly gossip-monger answered ? "Dear me no! You 'didn't expect to hear did you ?" Bessy went back home, her little heart ns cold as her lead in bosom. She had refused Xorton Van Brugh; sho said ".No" to Mr. Sinclair, in spite of Aunt Jemima's knowing prognostication!; and people began to wonder if pretty Bessy Hay was going to be an old maid alter all. "Why doesn't he write to mo or Bend mo at least a word to show that he has uot utterly forgotten nio V" "Why doesn't she answer my letter?" thought Paul. So the world wagged on until Mr. Es colt came home from the far off tlowe.ry land tvt indeed with the fortune of which he had dreamed in such sanguine fashion, but with n sufficient competence to live well aud comfortable in a place as modest as his native village. It was a stormy November evening, with threatcuings of suow in the chilly air, nnd a low wind stirred the last withered leaves upon the boughs, when he alighted nt tho station, looking almost into eyes of Bessy Hay, who had come to tho pnst-oflieo to ask once again for tho L-ltcr that never came. How 6oldom aro out visions realized ! Bessy had dreamed a thousand times of meeting Paul Escott, but never in such a way as this. "Paul," she quivered. "Ah," said Paul dolling his stylish- fur travelling cap, "1 hope your well 1" For he did not exactly liko to call her Mrs. Sinclair as yet.

Sinkiug back upou the pillow, ho straightway raised himself aud remarked: "I say, wife, how's your pillow warm V' "Why, whata foolish question !" return ed she ; "my pillow is all right." "Is it real warm V" he asked. "Certainly it is : I've had my head on it for three hours." Apparently satisfied, he laid down aud was silent for a time, when a vigorous nudg ing in the side of bis wife proved he had another idea. "I say. wife?" "For goodness sake, what do you want V" pelulautly auswered the sleepy dame. "I say, you don't use hair oil, do you ?" "Of course not ; you kuow that us well as any body else. )Jo for mercy sake, go to sleep." Another half hour passed in silence, brok en by the solemn ticking of the clock in the darkuess.

Somo mouths ago a lot of Sioux Indians robbed a stage-coach on tho plains, and found among the packages of freight a clothes-wringer. Ono of the chiefs had been in St. Louis several times, and had observed certain beings grinding terrific music out of a machine with the same kind of a crank as that upon the wringer, so a conviction seized his soul that this was a barrel organ. Ho bad the wringer carefully carried back to camp, nud made up hit mind that from that day forward the silence of that solitary wilderness was going to be broken by a ceaseless round of tunes and vibra tions. First ho grasiicd tho crauk and began to turn it, in order to show his braves how the thing whs done. He revolved it for sixteen hours, but no music came. Then tho other Indians took a baud, ono after tho other, for a week. Then the squaws were turned on, but without any etlect. l lien the duel went out nnd stolo a mule aud a thrcsbiut-'-machtnu. and run-ril uu a lot of blocks nud pulleys and ran a belt over the crank ; Iheu exploded powder under tho hind legs of that mule, so that Im kept chargiug up tho inclined plane of that tnrcstutig-machinc, aud tho wringer made sixty revolutions a minute. But it wouldn't work. So tho chief came to the conclusion that the concern was under some kind of a curse, and he ran out the medicine-man, anil hud a war-dance, and drove yellow pine stakes through a couple of white captives, aud jumped arouud and howled, while tho med-icine-man played some wild, mysterious music on a drum. Then tho medicine-man hitched up tho mule agaiu, and, after starting tho ma chine, ho leaned up against it while ho mut tered an exorcism. In a couple of minute tho rubber rollers clenched his breech-clout and began to haul him in with his kuees doubled up against his face. When ho got half way through ho Btuek, and tho machine stopped. Ho couldn't move, and tho chief was nfraid to tott'ih tho wringer, so the brawn fell on tho doctor, nnd jabbed him with a knife, nnd scalped him ; aud then they buried him and the machine as they were. This was the last attempt of the Sioux In dians to cultivate the line arts. A Familiar Servant.

President Washington, Viee-Pro-sident Adams, and many Senators and Pto prcsKptatives, the minister Plenipotentiary of France, tho Encaryailo de Af'oct'ous if Spain, the Cabinet and other distinguished personages werepresent. Gen.Kuox was tiiu President's right-hand man, (as Oen. Bab cock is now of President Grant,) and ho aud his wife wore said to be tho largest couple in the city ; the hurley Bostoq book seller was however, a general faTorito, while, the brilliant conversation and unfail ing good humor of bis wife brightened eve. ry circle Alexander Hamilton, a brilliant high-toned gentleman, bad also a charming wile, who was a daughter of Geu.

This ball was a great success, for thoro were present, in addition to Mrs. Knox, the charming Mrs. Theodore Sedgwick, of Massachusetts, and tho magnificent Miss Waleoll, of Connecticut, and other Con gressional belles, those graceful and intelli gent dames aud demoiselles of Philadelphia, who had been praised by the gay Marquis de Chaptelleux, aud complimented by that witty Parisian visitor, the Duke de Lau zun.

INAUGURATION DA1.LS AT WAS11INUTON, When Jefferson was inaugurated at Washington, ho endeavored t create po I Jiticul capital by affecting Democratic sim j plicity uf manner, nud there was neither a display at the Capitol or a ball in tbe even ing. The "levees" were done away with, and the four-horse eduippago at the White. House was sold, as the President preferred to rido about Washington on tho pacinir ' sdle-horso which lie brought from Mou. i was tiie ueiio oi mo evening, aui tooted j "stunning" in her Russian Court dress of j crimson velvet, with a white satin under skirt aud train, aud a regal display of dia I mouds. Wheu Mr. Buchanan came for ward to preseut soma lady friends to tba Presideut, Gen. TayLor said : "Ah, Mr. Buehannan you always pick out the prcU tiest ladies." "The truth is, Mr. Presi deut," replied Old Buck, cocking his head ou one side like a parrot, "that your taste and mine muot agree in that respect." "Well," replied Geu. Taylor, "1 havo beet so long ntuimg the Indians and Mexicans, that 1 hardly know how to behave myself, surrounded by so many pretty women." Tho beautiful banner of the Salem Taylor Club, brought ou there by Capt. Sallord, was a noticeable feature of the decoration of this ball, aud the nuisance thereof was the drippiug from the composition candles in the eiiand.iUeis, which ruined many a mack coat, and made many a hello iu a low necked dis shriek as tho melted tallow burned hei shoulder. The Fierce and tba' Buchnnau Inauguration balls wero also splendid all'airs, but controlled by tho leatlers of southern society. Lincoln's iuuuguratiou was a rather so . letnu affair, but Mr. Seward had taken per sonal paius to have a demonstration of Union sentiment, nnd ho was especially anxious that tho ball should be tf success. Mrs.Lincolu, who was handsomely dressed, came iuto tliu hall-room leaning ou the arm of Senator Douglas, aud follovjvij ty Vice Presideut und Mrs. Hamlin. Mrs. Samuel A. Way, of Boslou, was one of tho most ' i-otke,aVlo ladies, wearing black velvet,.' with a costly set of diamonds, whilo her sistvr, Mrs. Cutting, wore black velvet and pearls. The South was unrepresented, and ' the aiiorf uzul of that district remained ' away, waiting for the day soon to arrive' as they thoughtwhen Presideut UavU . should co.no to tho White-House. The ball on tho second inauguration of Mr. Lincoln was giyen in the halls of tba PaVeut-Oitlee, just completed but nut oc-' cupicd.
