YALE'S MARRIAGE.
"If over I marry," Kato Yale used to say,
half in jest, half in earnest, "the happy man

•--stall be a person possessed of these three
qualifications:
"First,•a fortune;
!' Second; good looks; •
" third, eotinnen sense."
I mention the fortune firsts bacons° I think
it tho most needful and desirable qualification
of the three. - Although I never could think
of -marrying a fool, or a man whose ugliness I
should be ashamed of, still I think„to talk sense
for the ono, and shine fur the other with-plenty
of money, would be preferable :to living ob
sours with a handsome, intellectiml man—to
whom economy might be necessary."
I do not know how xnuch, of this septhrient
mate froin Kale's heart. She undoubtedly in
dulged lofty.idens of litation end style-for her
education in the duties and aims of life had
been deficient, or rather erroneous ; but that
she was capable of deeper, bettei feelings,
none ever doubted who have obtained even a
partial' glirepse of her trite woman's nature.
And th'e time arrived when Rote was to take
that all important step of which she, had often
spoken so lightly—when she was to.demou
strate to her friends how much or her heart
was in the words wo have just quoted.
At the michanting age of eighteen she had

should certainly tee on artiat'sprivilege, and
aim to produce au elfeet by making a strong

If I could have my own way, ope should be a

other rt wealthy tool, and somewhat of a kuuve.
But the truth is-=

the Int.e.t distant hope, however, of ever attain

sessed excellent qualities, - which outlth3d bite
to be called by elderly people a "fine charac.
ter," by his companions a 'noble good fellow,"
and by the ladies generally, a "darling.?
Kate could not help loving Mr. Frank, and
lie knew it. i.e was certain she preferred his
society even to that of Mr. Wellington, whom
aldne he saw fit to honor with the appellation
of rival. .
This Mr. Wellington (his companions called
him •Duke,") was no idiot or humpback, na I
could have wished him to be, in order to make
ti good story. On the contrary, he was a man
of sense, good looks, and fine manners, and
there was nothing of the knave about him, as
I could ever ascertain.
Besides this, his income wee sufficient to
ennble him to "live superbl . Also, he was
considered two or three deg ees handsomer
than Mr. F,
Therefore, the • only thing on which• Frank
had to depend, was the pow•r he possessed
over III:WS sympathies end affections. The
"Duke"—although just the man for her in
every sense, being blessed with a fortune. good
looks, and common sense—had never been able
to draw' these out, and the amiable, conceited

would suffer mere worldly considerations to
control.the aspirations of her heart.
ono day when ho 'messed her to
decide his fate, she said to him with a sigh :
-"011, Frank ! I am sorry we have evermet!"
• " Sorry ?"
" Yes ; for we must part now "
" Part !" repeated Frank, turning pale. It
was evident he had - not expected this.
" Yes—yes," said Kate, casting down Iter•
head with another piteous sigh. • • .• •
Frank sat by her side ; he placed hie arms
around,her waist., without heeding her feeble
resistance; he lowered his 'Voice aud \ talked: to

She reproaiched her : busbatid.for deserting

said Kate. "I do not saythat.your reproaches

Mr. Wellington's brow gathered; darkly—his

Far from it. Weakened minds, vicious habits,
and corrupted principles are the 'inevitable
consequences of this course. 'But how may
tlieleThiritiliouri' of the farmer be most judi
ciously and profitably spoilt? ' We answer; by . ,

tal field of earth, and it is, forsooth, the more
important field of the two ; and upon the-man
ner in which its-culture is conducted, the sac

depends, oven its a- greater degree than upon a
'wellldled farm.,. Knowledge is power; and
upon no class of people does it confer it in a
degree thanupon,those who,till the soil, The
farmer needs not only a — , stout diand and• a
strong arm with which to wield the implements
of his vocation, but. he also needs . a strong,
clear, and well-developed mind to guide their
notion. . There has been a time when educa
tion and mental culture wore thought unneces
sary for ferias, but that time has passed, that
hour has ° fled; and with it the prejudices and
opinions by which it was characterised.
Science has cast her light upon.agriculture,
and her effulgent rays have imbued it with - new
life and. vigor.. : Tile ago' i's_ essentially one of
progress, and in this progress the art of tillage
'ears no insignificant Luta. By the union of -
science with practice, and by the -efforts of
we'.-directed kuovvledge, crops are doubled
nod profits Lire trebled. With this tide of pro
gress we must keep pace, else we are left upon
the back ground, and will realize meagre re
turns for our labor. The man who rejects the
aid of science will bo . forced to awake and
avail himself of her assistance, or leave the
Vocation for one which requies less thought.
Inasmuch as s edueation is necessary for far

LONGEVITY
We have observed recently iii nor exoltnnses
quite an' array of interesting instances of lon
.ovily and numcrousprogeny. We give below a
number of the most interesting of these, with
the addition of several names in .this list of
modern Methuselatts, whose history we have
learned through other sources: • •
(First, then, we see It stated that a farbily
gathering of the Darlington hlood was held re
cently at the residence of Brinton Darlington,
noar West Chester. The .galsering was conv,
posed bf the descendants of Abraham Darling

Daniel Wilson, of the "State efindinna, died
recently at the age of one hundred and seven
years. He is said to IMvo. been. the companion
of Gen. llitirioni and to have served long.nnd
faithfully under General Washington. These
facts nye given by Alexander ; Wilson, who.rep- .
resents himself as the forty-fifth child of the
hero of this, notice.

and great grand children,• about one hundred
and thirty saute! The old gentlemen is about
ninety years of age, and is-still remarkable for
his great physical and,mental energy.
Mrs. Sarah Benjamin, of Pleasant Mount,
Wayne county, is now in her one hundred and
eighth year, and enjoys good health and a clear,
intellect. Some time during the last summer,
she sent to Gov. Bigler a skein of woollen yarn,
which she had spun a few days previous on her
old fashioned wheel, without spectacles. The
yarn was of the finest 4 texture and most,perfeet
proportions. She witneSked the delivery of
Co ritto Waebiigron, at - Yorktown-
She says that she was all American on that
occasion, and that she does - not believe that
she could have treated Cornwallis with the ci

ing a little venge'ance at the expense of lodes
and tyrants. She is the recipient orkklension,
and says she should lia4 two pensions, fbr shq

Jetties Gallagher, of the same county, is re
joicing in his 95th year, and has given notice
that he will pay no debts contracted by Lis
itinerant wife, who has left his bed and board
without cause or provocation. Ile thinks a;
