To Marry or not to Marry.
[Fn m tEe Cteaveland Herald, March 8 . )
A rumor was nflaat in the streets on Sat
urday that a lian4some young lady of very
respectable connections, living just outside
the limits of the city, failed to keep her en
gagement to marry, an - d made known her
change in mind while standing before the
minister who was to unite them. The young
lady in question engaged bersellto Newry
some months ago, and in anticipation of soon
becoming a happy husband the young man,
who supposed be possessed the fair one's af
fections, procured the necessary license, and
a 11 - t h ings-were-made - ready - for - thereelebra=
tion - of the event, which was to be fraught
with happcness or misery ,to,the betrothed
during the remainder of their lives, for there
is no condition of life which can yield more
pure happiness than where congenial spirits
are thus blended, and none which can pro
d uce fa renob elirdal e - tin seryi h a n - wh ere - t he
uncongenial are thus united.
The minister was called in, the friends
were assembled to witness the ceremony, and
the two who had vowed to each other took

or short But when the minister came to
question the young lady in-the usual manner,
the hidden sprines-of her heart were touched
and. she flatly refused to consummate the
matrimonial engagement. The young wan
was of course, greatly shocked, and all rues
/
cut were Wonderfully amazed, but the young
lady wss inexorable. She would not consent .
to make a life arrangement against which
her heart revolted, and the wedding-party
dispersed without having a wedding. Of
ceur , e the young lady should have known
her feelings limier when she gave her prom•
ise, but perhaps she hoped to discipline her
feelings to meet the emergency ; lulling in
which, at the last moment she stepped back_
and refused to make herself and her lover
naiserah'e through, terhaps, a long life of

chance to murk them Arowitag. We plucked
this little humble blossom, this story of real
life, the other day, and preserved it for our
readers.
Seventeen or eighteen years ago, a young
German came to our land, and toiled away
TIM fully fora living. He had an objtct
to attire far, which increased his endeav
ors; he was betrothed to an innocent and
beautiful gjrl whom he had been compel!

her parents, for they were too poor, both
of them, to marry

firm of each other's letters; then, by some
sad fortune, these , were so lost or uoisJi
rected that each learned to regard the other
as false or dead. Two or three years sped
away, and the girl becoming an orphan,suh
'witted to the seeming necessity of poverty,
and wedded another. S'oe became the moth.
er of three children before her husband was
taken away by death, far She bad her little
ones as well as herself to sustain. For a
time.she struggled on ; but was finally, with
her family, sent to the poorhouse of the
parish in which she lived.
All these years her youthful lover had
been faithful to the memory of their early
attachment; and his heart giving him no
rest, after Dearly fifteen years of residence
here he started for his Fader-Land to learn
tidings of hie dead of gals° betrothed
Reaching their native village he learned the
history of her life. sought her out in her
abode of chalky, welcomed her to kis affec
tions Again, married her, and brought her
and her children to the little home he had
acquired in this country. 'Those who have
seen them tt gether say that no youthful
bride and groom during the honeymoon, are
more tenderly and romantically attached to
each other, than they still are. •
SVCCESB KES EN EMIES. —They who
are eminently successful in bu3iness, or who
achieve greatness, or even notoriety in any
pursuit, must expect to tnake enemies. So
prone to selfishness. to petty jealously and
sordid envy, is poor human nature, that who
ever becomes distiognished is sure to be a
mark for the maPcious spite of those who,
not &servrng ruceess thrnsclves, are goaded
by the merited triumph of the More worthy.
Moreover, the opposition which originates in
such despicable motives, is sure to be of the
most unset upu'ous character hesitating at no
iniquity, descending to the shabbiest little
ness.
.Opposition, if it be honest and manly, is
not of itself undesirable. The competitor in
life's struggles who is of true metal, depre•
cares trot opposition of an honotablo offline
ter, but he rejoices in it It is only injustice
or meanness which ho deprecates and do•
spires; and it is this which the successful
must rue& proportioned in, bitterness, oft
times, to die pleasure of success which excites
it.
A Southern writer, who has just had an
interview with Mr. George D, Prentice, says
ho is not the uipu he was ten years ago. in.
deed, his genius is gone, and his Jerson is a
mere wreck. His family is broken up—wife
dead, one son killed on the Confederate side,
another settlad on a fartndown the river—
and the old man, vergirg on three score and
ten, cooks his breakfast and dinner in his
little room on the third floor of the Courier
building, and lives only in conversations
about the past. This man once wielded an
imperial power with his wit and his music.
Now the world has whirled past him, and
ho lies on tbo shore a more stranded wreck.

The Power of a_Wo
A mother, on the green Mlle of Vermont,
wets holding by the right hand a son sixteen
year old, mad with the lore of the sea.—
And - as she stood by the garden gate one
morning, she said :
'Edward, they tell me, for I never saw the
ocean, that the great temptation of a sea
man's life is drink. Promise me, before you
quit - your mother's .- hand, tlyaryou will nev
__,
er drink.'
'And,' said he (for he told . me the story,)
gave har the promise, and I went the
globe over, Cideutta and the Mediterranean,
San Francisco, the Cape of Good Hope, the
North and Smith Pole's. I saw them all in
forty years, and I newer saw a glass filled
with sparkling liquor that my mother's form
by the gate did not rise befit►e me,- and tp ! ,
day I am innocent of the taste of liquor.'
Was not that sweet evidence of the power
of a single word ? Yet that was not half.
'For,' said he, 'yesterday there came into
my counting room a man of forty years of
age, and asked Me
`Du you knock - fa - me?'
'No.•
• 'Well.' said he, was once brought into
your presence on shipboard drunk ; you were
a passenger; the captain kicked me aside,
you took me to your berth and kept me there
till I had slept off the intoxication ; you then
asked me if' I had a mother. I Paid I had
never known a word from her lips. You told
mo of yours sit the garden gate, and to-day
I em master of nue of the finest packets in.
New York, and I came to ask you to come
and see me.'
Ilow•far that little candle throws ite•beams!
That mother's word on the green hills of
Vermont! 0, God be thanked for th e
mighty power of a single word!

that each unmarried gentleman end lady

paper, and under it place thee-name of the,

TirE DIMCON'SINNARDS.—A worthy dea
con, residing iu a village not a hundred miles
from I3uston, ono morning as he journeyed
to his work, some mile or two from his home,
called upoil a neighbor who had just killed a
hog, and bargained with him for a quantity
of pigs 'innards' to be used for sawisge cas
ings, the same to be sent to his house by the
neighbor's boy.
As evening advanced, the deacon . , who was
unetpeetedly detained, did. not reach his
home until a late hour.
To the meantime, his good wife, who was
a very nervous woman, becathe very much
alarmed at his nomappearnoce, and hastening
to the door in answer to a loud rap, was cot.
fronted by a boy holding a tin pail, which he
handed to the frightened woman, exclaiming:
'Here's the deacon's guts!'
The alarm of the poor Woman upon re.

AN INCIDENT AT A FIRE.
A few Op after one of - in :large fires
which have been so frequent to our land
during the 'past - few Months, a gentleman
who had kept a hatstore,_which -bad—been
burned, was accosted in the street by a boy,
who said: 'Dir. ll—, I have got a wt.ole
armful of hats that belong to you. I car
ried thew home the day of the fire so that
none should steal them If you will tell me
whore to briug-them, I will go borne and gei
them.'
The
entleman a
, oy ran away 'toward his home. Soon he
appeared•with the hats, and sure enough, he
had all his two arms oauld hold.
When , he had laid them dolts, the gentle
man began to try first one, then another no
hie bead.- When ho found one that . fitted
6im,he-sai4l-:—lthor:

was a poor boy, and a
greater
new hat
that was 'just a fit, was a greater treat . to
him thin to many boys.
- 1 . 1 --" 1 - 1 7 - 1 — c s i m.l rotv to .y — fißi ized that
the bat was his own, be began to caper a
bout and cried : 'See, see I have got a new
know
another boy that has got an armful of bate
and I don't think he means to bring them
back at all.'
The boy that wears that hat can bola his
head ,up straight and look every ono in the
