a custom resembling a mock marriage has

a colored girl in such a Manner that
though - they violate law; decency and ,

WollE:kr IN TUE BIBLE.—TiIe Bible is the
book of women. It la the only honk which
has come down from the misty ages of an
tiquity that presests us witlfivaman as the
equal antrmeet for man. From Eve, the
mother of all living., to M Iryi the mother
of Jesus,: Woman nlwava occupies a con
spicuous place in the grand drama of tlre
world's history. Here she is seen as wife
and mother, filling her mission with
shrinking modesty and pantie firmness.

BCLWER says that poverty fa only an idea
in nine eases out of ten. Some men with
ten thousand dollars a yc t. suffer more
for want of means than others with three
hUndred. The reason is, the richer man
has artificial wants. Ilia income is ten
thou-and. and by habit he spends twelve
or fifteen thousand. and he suffers enough
from being dunned for unpaid debts to
kill a sensitive man. A mon who earns
a dollar a - day, and does not run in debt;
is the happiest of the two. Very few peo
ple who have never been rich will believe
this; but it is as true •at God's Word.
There are people, of course, who are weal
thy,_ and who enjoy their wealth ; but
there are thousands upon thousands, with
princely - income's, who never know a mo
ment's peace, because they live above
their means. There is really more happi
ness in the world.amoug working people
than among those who are called net.

A well known journalist, who waiform

that while there during the war, he one
day asked Seward-his opinion of Greeley.
"HOrace Greeley," said iSaward. "is a grnt
man—n man so full of genius and orauch
power that if he lad a paiticleofcommon
sense we should have to hang him. But
he is 'a d•—:.d foo'; and therefore harm
less." Afti.r coming to New .York. the
journalist, dining with the editor- of tho
Tribune, inquired his - p.pinion of Seward.
"Seward has brains envgh." wa4 the re
ply. "to govern this country. No man
has a dallier or better head ; but the
trouble with Seward is that he is an infer
nal scoundrel" •
