F"'"FT=Tw --- d_ MATRI-MONY. It is the fashion to get married. The beautiful auburn weather, the rise in cotton, leap year, the numerous Grecian Bends, and various other influences entirely-too numer • ous to mention, conspire to make matrimony a balm for every disappointment, and a sum mer-house for hearts_that- yearn for compan ionship People would get married because it is fashionable even if inspired by no senti ment; but they would get married it the custom was entirely out of. fashion. Socie ty—the married ,portion—requires every. body to put or the harness of domestic bliss or offer a good reason for their delinquency Tn former times, thirty or forty years 'ago, when I was a young man and went to quilt ings, and log rollings, and barn raisings, the arguments against matrimony were not so nu merous as in 1868. If a young man had a small farm, with a double log cabin, a yoke of oxen, and, a yellow'dog,.provided that he a had muscle nd energy, he was considered a good catch among the girls and their moth ers in the neighborhood, asd while he re • maioed single he was sure of an invitation to every fruit° in the country, Human na ture is pretty much the same in the grain the world over, and in all ages as far as I have tried it Since- prosperity shoneupon me, and the Autocrat Society forced me from the quiet of a rural village—where every man worshipped God and voted for -General Jackson under his own vine and fig tree— to the great world, many modifications have been made on nature. The world moves on faster and faster, and steam has been applied to,nearly everything except matrimony, which is steam enough of itself, and evekthat institution likes to trav el forty miles an hour. A marriage not suc ceeded by a bridal trip to Cape May,'Cape Girardeau, or Rome—Georgia--would be most insipid and heartless. In my days and time—and I am not so mighty old yet in feel ing, young folks were satisfied with a big supper attended 'by all the neighborsln five or ten miles, and a bridle trip home next day on horseback. People could get, along very welt_ then without locomotives or steam, and many-sue eeeded in raising large, respectable families. But so it is. Ido not complain, except that society is too eiacting, and that &ass and display too often dazzle, while real worth and unpretended heroism are pushed aside to make room for mere pre-tentions. A young man who works hard, Tives with in his income and saves a little naoney,to ed ucate a sister or support an aged parent, is looked upon as slow and dull, and if he has access to the fashionable walks of life he will find that the fast youth,' in debt • fot the clothes be wears and the jewelry he sports, to say nothing'of borrowed money, wash bills, room-r tted — ",theie are miner," is petted by shrewd "anthers and caressed. by the mar riageable belle's of the season, where the first one passes fora - nickel.,, Moral worth is a good thing, but without ,diamonds, dress and equipage,.will not pass current, while the diamouds,dress and_equi page, pass readily without moral worth;-.

These great expectations arerealized about once in ten years in the United States.-- Such things are easily read of in novels, but seldom come about, and then generally at a sacrifice of some mioly attribute. at all than to be dissatisfied afterward; con sequently the subject should be well consid ered beforehand. And the young man who expects to be the head of au interesting fam ily, should know whether he is likely to keep want away from the back door. Long en gagements_are advisable generally,. say at least-three wee ks - . --- I - f - th aim - wog — gen tlem au does not have access to the bank account and the real-estate list of his intended father-in law, it might be well enough to examine his own and see if his own income Will support two at the start. The trouble - is,, though, that too many poor girls nowadays are educated with rich ideas, and rather than sacrifice the latter, they prefer to marry a\cb man, even if old, tgly and cross. One of the most unpleasant in a young man's life is to marry an heiress and then find that all her property is mort gaged, and that he has to support her by , . .rk To gibed_against-such—a—tria put off the match a week or two and try supporting yourself. Don't marry under six teen. 'Whom the god's love die young,' and whom they hate marry young. Be sure you're right, then go it. But be sure. Married people judge of their happiness by the opinions and criticism of the world. If the world tells a man he has done well, be believes it and is happy. With woman it is nearly the same, especially in fashionable life. If Paul bad lived in this age he never Lveussuictioned-natri me s=l.- good thing in some cases notwithstanding. Every man must judge for himself, and for his wife if she will let him. There'are some roses on either side, and happy is he who gathers only the roses and touches not the thorns. It is not all of death to die or get married. Each in its turn and place may be a blessing in disguise. Single blessed ness has its cold sheets and buttonless shirts, double blessedness, its cold winds of misfor tune and its multiplied cussedness. They should both betaken in their season. No grey mancan be an idler. The world is teeming with work for us all, and no one can do that which God has given another to do. We seek amusements to pass away the time, when every hour is crowded with hu man destinies, and we have not one moment to waste. The seconds of time are the woof of eternity—a moment misspent, and there is a flaw in the web. We must work Not all may be reapers, not all gleaners;—but all may do something. Day after day humanity is stretching out her hands for help—poor erring souls going down to'ruin, because men, and women, love self more than God. You who lounge on luxurious couches, who boast your lily-hands. tell me, what have those hands ever done for others ? The porvest day laborer who walks the streets, is greater than you. Not all kings wear royal robes, or sit on thrones, and he is far more kingly and noble who earns his bread by the sweat of•his brow; than he who wraps about him his purple and fine linen, and boasts his millions. We hear so much of igebtlenten' nowadays. What constitutes a gentleman ? Is it fine broadcloth, gloSsy beaver, immaculate kids, and dainty cane ?—or is it a true, unselfish heart and soul rich with blessed deeds?— Better a royal soul than royal robes,—better hands that labor has made browia, than those that idleness has made white, The crown that earnest toil brings, is better than a king's cornet, and labor for others' sakes better than treasures of silver and gold.—Rural New Yorker. MIRRORS IN THE HOUSE -ROW many a parent, has found in his child the glass for his own vices! ,Happy, indeed, if any one be so wise as to see. the reflection before it is too late for both•himself•and child ! • A laboring man who was extremely ad. .dieted to swearing was one day at work with a yoke of oxen near the house. The oxen not working to suit him, he began to whip them severely, at the same time uttering vol:. ler of blasphemous oaths, The oxen, break ing loose from their harness, ran away ; while the man, in his passion, pursued them, and coming up with them at the house, be gan to whip them again and to swear as hor rible as before. His little boy, who was just old enough to talk, began to prattle his pro fane oaths after him No sooner did the father hear this, than his feelings were pow erfully wrought upon. He paused for a Moment, dropped his whip, and 'sat down and wept bitterly. A flood of keen refiec .tion at once rushed upon his conscience, which produced such an effect that listened peace where forgiveness can only be hid—at the footstool of Mercy. SHORT ARTICLES.—The tendency of the popular taste is more and more toward short ,articles, short sentences and short words in journalistic writing. This change is visible both .at home and abroad. In Britain, France, Germany and Italy, this is as per ceptible as it has lately become in the United States, where we have been falling into the brevity system for two or three years past, and nearly all the cheaper popular papers have adopted it. "A little.orpban boy, who was nearly starved by the stingy • uncle (his guardian) with 'Whoa' he lived, meeting a lank grey hound one day in the street, was asked by his guar dian what made the dog so thin. After re flection, - the little boy replied, suppose be lives with, bis uncle' Truth Stranger than Fiction. A young man recently run away from the galleys at Toulouse. He wee. strong and. vigorous, and soon made his way across the country and escaped pursuit, He arrived next morning- before a cottage in an open field, and stopped to beg something to eat and get a refuge while he reposed a little. But he found the inmates of the cottage in the greatest distress. Four little chil trembling in the corner; their mother was weeping and tearing her hair, and the father walking the floor in agony. The galley slave asked what Was the matter, and the father re plied-that they Were that Morning to be turn ed out of doors because they could not pay their' rent, 'You see me driven to despair,' sald — fhTo father: my wile and little children without food and shelter, and I without any means to provide any for them. - w - will give you the means.

How much does the rent amount to?' - ‘l.Potty francs,' answered the father.

After a long struggle the latter yielded, and taking his preserver. by the arm, led him to the city and the Mayor's office.— Everybody was surprised - that a little man like-the father- should ,be able to capture -mtra - streng - yoUtirfe - 11OWT --- h - ift — the proo was before them. The fifty francs were paid, and the prisoner sent back to the gal leys. - But after he was gone, the father asked a private interview with the Mayor, to whern he told the whole story. The 3layor was so much affected that he not only added fifty francs more to the father's purse, but wrote immediately to the Minister of Justice, beg ging the noble young prisoners release. The minister examined into the affair, and finding that it waa comparatively a small of fence which had condemned the young man served his time out, ordered his release. Rising in the World. You should bear constantly in mind that nine-tenths of us are, from the very nature and necessities of the word, born to gain a livelihood by the - sweat of the brow. What reason have we, then, to presume that our chirer — e - ri are not to do the same ? [f they be, as now and• then one will be,•endowed with extraordinary powers of mind, those powers may have an opportunity of develop ing themselves and if they never have that opportunity, the harm is not very great to us or to them. Nor does it hence follow that the descendants of laborers are always to be laborers. The path upwards is steep and long, to be sure. Industry, care, skill, excellence," in the present parent, lay the foundation cf a rise, under more favorable circumstances, for the children of these to take another rise.:and by•and-by the descendants of the present la borer become gentlemen. This is the natur al progress It is by attempting to reach the top at a single leap that-so much misery is produced in the world; 'and the propensity to make such an attempt has been cherished and encouraged by the etrong projects that we have witnessed of late years for making the laborers virtuous and happy by giving them what is called education. The educa tion which I speak of, consists in bringing children up to labor with. steadiness, with care, and with skill, to show them •how to do as many useful things as possible ; to teach them to do all in the best manner; to set them an example of industry, sobriety; clean liness and neatness ; to make . all those habit ual to them, so that they shall never be lia ble to fall into the contrary; let them always see a good living proceeding from labor, and thus to remove from them the temptation to get at the good of others by violent and fraudulent means. PLEASURES OF MATRIMONY. -By a wife, —I was married for my money— that was ten years ago, and they have been.ten years of purgatory. 1 have had bad luck as a wife, for my husband and I have scarcely one taste in common. He wishes to live iri the country, which I hate. 1 like the ther mometer at 75 degrees, which he hates. He likes to have the children brought up• at home instead of at school, which I hate. I like music, and wish to go concerts, which he hates.

Reader— go thou and do likewise l The Mercy Seat• The throne of _race and the mere are terms in very frequent use among prayer ful Christians Their significations are near ly synonymous. They both refer to the cor ner of the Ark of the Covenant, before which the Jewish high priest,-with solemn ceremo nial, appeared on the great day of atonement. Bearing in his hand the great bowl in which had been caught the streaming blood of the slain lamb, the high-priesi entered the holy of holies, and sprinkled the blood upon and befole the ark, and made supplication for the mercy and forgiving grace of God. Under the Mosanic dispensation the high priest alone could enter the sacred place and approach the mercy-seat, but now, since Je• sus, the great high-priest of our profession, has entered the heavens and removed the vail, the trembling soul may venture in the presence of God Whatever complaints the humble, though unworthy, suppliant has to wake, may - with confidence be poured forth into the ear of the Divine Saviour; whatev er desires burden the heart may all be made known to him whose pity for all his children is as boundless as his love.
