She who sleeps upon my heart

She who dreams upon_ my breast
Evei reigns within
She who kisses oft my lips,
Wakes their Naimest blessing ;
She who rests within my arms --
Feels their closest pressing:
Other days than these shall come—
Days that may be dreary—
Other hours shall greet us yet,
Hours that may be weary ;
Still this heart shall be my throne,

None but thou hest done it ;
And when age your bloom shall change
With its wintry weather,
May we in the self-samo grave
Sleep arid dream together.
FAMILV PRAYER.—Robert Hall, hear
ing some worldly-minded person object
to family prayer as taking up too much
time, said that what might seem a loss
will he more than compensated by that
spirit of order and regularity which the
stated observance of this tends to pro-
duce. It serves as an edge and border,
to preserve the web of life from unrav

house of the nicked; but he blesseth
the habitations of the righteous."
or Two Irishmen engaged in peddling
packages of linen, bought an old mule
to aid in carrying the burdens. One
would ride awhile, then the other, carry
ing bales of linen on the mule. One
day, the Irishman who was on foot, got
close up to his muleship, when he receiv-
ed a kick on one of his shins. To be
revenged, he picked up a stone and herl_
-ed it at the mule, but by accident struck
his companion on the back of the head.
Seeing what he had done, he stopped
and began to groan and rub his shin.
The one on the mule turned and asked
what was the matter.
_"The crater's kicked me," was the re-
"Be jabers," said the other, "he's did
the same thing to me 9n the back of the

purchase their owu material may get up
a very stylish head gear at a very little
cost." The trouble is they won't do it.

Selected for, The ✓?iartellian
How Husbands are Chosen:
The following article, cut from the
Philadelphia Ledger, enveloped and ad-
dressed to us, was found in our post
office box, on Monday morning. We
thought we recognized the hand-writing
of a well-kno'ivn literary maiden lady of
our place—but then what to d with it,
was the dilemma with ns. Th senfior
.did not condescend to intimate in 4.1)Y
way, what was to be done with Vie ii
tract—wbether intended as affiae-tbrapt
at us or not. We do not reaty remer
ber to have made, in our matrimonial
excursions for a wife, any pretensions'of
belonging to a F. F.—and being anti*.
ymous, we were, really, at a loss "what
to do." Alt nonsense aside, however,,
there is a vast deal of truthful and gooU
advice in it • 1
"A case that was detailed at some
length in our local columns, yesterday,
contained lessons that should be tak(lk
to heart, and have a wholesome influence
upon all young people, and Upon the
parents and guardians of young persons:
In what we shall say upon the subject
in this place names will be omitted, for
they are not necessary for the purpose,
and the absence of them will avoid giv
ing further publicity t 3 an occurrence
sufficiently painful as it stands. It ap
pears that a young man, without charac
ter and without scruple, obtained ad
mission to a respectable family circle
and succeeded in engaging the affections
and marrying the daughter of the person
whose hospitality and attention he bad
secured. This yonng man had been for
some time
.a resident of the city, board
ing at various places, including some of
the hotels, and had an office where he
professed to carry on the business of a
broker.
During this period he appears to have
been engaged-in a cousiderabl4- cutrrs4
of petty swindling, from borrowed watch
es on the pretext" of getting them re
paired, to borrowing sums of money on
various false pretences. The watches,
were never returned and the money was
never repaid. He was, in fact, carrying
on the career of a fast man, who support
ed himself by such tricks, and was, to
all intents and purposes, a disreputable
character. From these courses he went
on to others of greater magnitude, and
assuming the character of an officer in
the army, and pretending to be a mem
ber of a wealthy Southern family, he
commenced the business of forging
drafts for considerable amounts. In
this he was detected and has been
placed under arrest. The assumption
of the name of a reputable army officer,
the pretense that he belonged to a
wealthy or a distiognished Southern
family, and the mere externals of a re-
spectable member of society, appear to
have been all the advantages he had in
obtaining admission to the domestic cir
cle of at least one family. So far as we
can ascertain from the published evi
dence in the case, he seems to have had
no other vouchers as to the character
he claimed. It does not appear that
any responsible person supported his
pretensions or asserted thc.t he was the
kind of man in which. any family ought
to place such confidence. Alid yet,
upon these bald qualifications, he suc
ceeded to an extent that not only ena
bled him to gain admission into society,
but to obtain considerable sums of mon
ey from those he was imposing upon,
and also to marry an estimable young
woman.
Such:an occurrence affords a great
deal of room for reflection. It would
appear, in the first place, that the desire
of persons to be dazzled by a little offi
cial rank, and to be captivated by the
show of wealth and distinction in the
family of a suitor for a young girl's hand
is so well known to be among the weak
neseess of the present day, that adventu
rers and swindlers find it to be a sure
basis of operations. They seem to be
perfectly aware that if they can maintain
for ever so short a period and appear
ance of rank and affluence, that such an
appearance is a sure passport to the fa
vor of the heads of some families. This
is no new thing, and it will always con
tinue to be the case so long as fathers
and mothers, daughters and guardians
look to the mere show of respectability,
instead of inquiring into the real merits
of a man himself, agart from either his
apparent social rank or his claims to
wealth. There is a great deal too much
of this sort of thing in life. It is cer
tainly a much more important thing for
parents when they are selecting husbands
for their daughters, and for young women
when they are choosing their partners
for life, to consider whether the suitor
is a true, intelligent, honest, and respect-
able man, fit to be a good girl's husband
than to confine their attentions to a
mere glance at the rank. be, claims, or
the money he is supposed: to possess,
Half the evils that we read of as arising
in married life grow out of "this very
matter. If there were more attention
paid to the character of a man as a man,
we should hear less of the domestic
troubles that are constantly coming be
fore the public through the medium of
the police and court reports„ and the
proceedings of the Legislature. There
would not be half so many applications
for divolce, and we would have far fewer
instances of young women with pros
pects •darkened for the whole of their
after lives, and of parents bowed down
with sorrow to the grave..
The case that furnishes the basis for
these remarks is a most remarkable one ;
for it is really surprising that a person
who had been living for a considerable
period in the same city with the deluded
parties, and who had been in that time a
mere adventurer and potty swindler,
could have carried on such operations
as those that resulted in his marriage
without being detected. It would seem
as if the least attempt at inquiry into
his character and antecedents must have
led to his certain exposure. That he
was not successfully inquired about, and
arrested in his course in time to prevent
the calamity that happened, only shows
with remarkable force how much a great
many people have become accustomed
to regard with favor mere sham and
show, instead of looking after sterling
worth."
A POPULAR DA;ISII STO n the
village of Ebberup, in Funen, lived a
vary wealthy farmer, who had gone one
day to Aesens with a load of barley; so
one of his neighbors, a cottager, asked
leave to go along with him for the purpose
of-bringing home geode in the 'empty
cart. The farmer bad ao objection . ; so
the cottager followed the cart on foot,
and, as it was a very hot day, he pulled
off his worsted stockings and wooden
shoes, and stuffed them under the barley
in the back of the cart. It happened to
be on Sunday, and they had to pass close
by a church on the roadside. The man
got a little way behind the cart, so that
he could see that the minister was in the
pulpit, It struck him that as the farmer
was driving very slow, he might as jell
turn in and hear a bit of the sermon, he
could soon get up to the cart again. He
did not like to go so far into the church
that the minister could see him, so he
good inside the door. The text for that
day was about the rich man and the beg
gar. Jth3t, as the traveller entered the
church, the minister shouted out, "But
what has_become of the rich man?" The
Ebberup man thought that flit, minister
was speaking to him, su he stepped for
ward and said, "He drove on toassens
with a load of barley." "No," thunder
ed the minister, "he went to bell."
"Mercy on us 1" cried the other, run

Some time since we had a Lecture in
our " Hall " upon " Signs of character
and bow to read them." To our great
regret we were prevented from hearing
it. But we believe that among other
things, the Lecturer dwelt somewhat
upon Physiognomy. Whether or not
he discussed the physiognomy of red eyes
and red noses, we have not been in
formed. We wish to say a word or two
upon this flaming subject. The wise
man answers the question which stands
at the head of our article thus : "They
that tarry long at the wine ; they that
go to seek mixed wine." We do not
intend to discuss the wine question.
Other and abler pens have done that and
shed much light upon it.
But the question with us is, have
these beacon lights that are seen all
around us in the shape of red eyes, and
rod noses done much towards warning
unsuspecting youth off the coast of the
Dead Sea of Drunkenness? We fear
not. No, no one who begins to sip the
tempting draft ever imagines that his
face will become bloated, that Ms nose
will become rubicund, that his eyes will
ever become bleared and bloodshot.
Could that now tall and handsome
young man with his sparkling eyes and
beaming countenance that some fair one
has already begun to look upon with
undisguised admiration, look forward
into the future ten or twenty years and
"see himself as others will see him," (if
he don't stop drinking so "moderately")
he would be perfectly horror-stricken
and would never taste another drop
while he lives. Young man, be warned
in time. Take ,a long, serious, earnest
look at the ne-,:t "light-house" you
meet, and resolve in the strength of God
that you will never be one. w. A. F.
A Menagerie of Drunkards.
The most foolish predicament a man
can get into is to get drunk. In drunk
enness a man shows his strongest and
most ardent passion. There are six
kinds of drunkenness, and it you will go
into a city drinking place where there
are a dozen men under the influence of
liquor, you will be sure to find these six
different animals :
The first is ape drunk'._ He leaps and
sings, and yells and dances, making all
sorts of "monkey shines" :to excite the
laughter of his fellows. Oh, terribly sil
ly is the drunken clown.
The second is tiger drunk. He breaks
the bottles, breaks the chairs, breaks the
heads of his fellow carousers, and is full
of blood and thunder. His eyes are fired
with vengeance, and his soul raves with
murderous fury. Of this sort are those
who abuse their families.
The third is hog drunk. He rolls in
the dirt on the floor, elobbere'and gruhts,
and going into the streets, makes his bed
in the first ditch or filthy corner he may
happen to fall into. He is heavy, lump
ish and sleepy, and cries in a grunting
way for a little more to drink.
The fourth is puppy drunk. He will
weep for kindness, and , whine his love,
and will hug you in his arms and kiss you
with his slobbery lips, and proclaim how
much he loves you. You are the best
man he ever saw, and he will lay down
his money or life for you.
The fifth is owl drunk, He is wise in
his own conceit. No man must differ
with him, for his word is law. He is true
in politics, and in all matters must be
taken as authority. His arm is the
strongest, his voice is the sweetest, his
horse is the fleetest, his turnips the
largest, his town the finest of all in the
room or land.
The sixth and last animal of our men
agerie is the fox drunk man. He is craf
ty, ready to trade horses and cheat if he
can. Keen to strike a bargain, leering
around 'with low cunning, peeping
d hrough cracks, listening under the
eaves, watching for some suspicious
thing, sly as a fox, sneaking as a wolf,
e he is the meanest drunkard of Atom all.
Cr The. sun is always shining, the
flowers are always blooming, the birds
e f are always singing, the golden grain is
always waving somewhere in this wicked
world.
