The article here referred to ?u written
with the ?iew of warning young persons
?-aud more pnrliculaiiy parent#?of tba
danger of growing evil# existing in court
ahip, love, divorce, and separation. Tbi#
ittf vital importance, not only as regards
our future happiness, but Tor the stability
of aociely, the national existence of our 1
Government, and tha honor and respecta |
bllilf <Jf oor name, nt home and abroad.
Tint it i? an evil we mint ell admit?
That a remedy ins been presented by one
whom I love, lienor, and obey, is apparent,
by reading litis article; and, as an illus
tiation of its power and effect, I will give
my experience:
I was a gay young lady of sweet six
teed, full of liope, and, like all girls, I. j
thought little of the future. A select par i
ty was given in a dee mansion on Wneh {
iogton Avenue, some sixteen years ago.
The one who was afterwards my bus
.1*1 , ,, h i*?. '^T
b/viid, and myself, were invited guests.?
It Was the first tiu.C that I set my eyes
on him. He was much old?-r titan mvsnlf.
and hy eomparinp notes some time after (
wards, it hj peered that we wyrt; both !
immediately struck with that passion
called love; and I remarked in a whisper, |
to another'girl: **That man is to be my
future husband." It seems tbe same fee'?
ing an* in his heart, and fie mentally
aid; "That woman is to be my wife."
A proposition was made by some young
lady present to draw straws to see who
ahontd be the happy one to hare this
gertleman, and I proved to be toe winner.
'What was then only an act of rpere pas
time proved to result in a reality, (or, two
days after. I we* led to the altar; and 1
have never had cause to rnnent it-? ?n<l
i? ;
if I may judge by niy feeling*, and tlioxe
of my husband, I would any, in the honest
conviction of tny heart, that w? are in
love mora today than we were sixteen
year* ago. Though bleated with several
children and experiencing all the caret of
domestic life, there ia do cbaoga of diapo
ilion. To tell tho truth, on the day of
our marriage, wo bad not a wardrobe of
the value of one hundred dollar* to begin
life with, nor a friend to help ua ; nor had
my liutband a placo to earn bit livelihood.
We left St. Liuia f?jr a pleasure trip up
the M'etittippi river.
I pate over mnny scene* of trial which
nnttiraTTy fall to the common tot of all
and which ???? mr cma* fnr T frtiin.l it?l
?vm r*Ulivv? sou^lu l>y ev^ry means in
their power, to make in* tnutiana. end
mvnelf separate. Withont a single regret
I 1<j'( relatives nni! de?pired their counsel*,
clinging to rpv husband vntlr all the afleo
nun and; lore 1 could master. Indeed, 1
i ben lowed Mm. and at it I lowe him dearly,
and I believe he doer me. We hare 00
sterols from each other and we have no
separate interest, unlaws it La to prevent
(La word from defrauding us of the little
properly we have ao faithfully and law
fully obtained, and saved. I never ask
him what lie i? going to do with the ruon.
ey and newer lie ask* me. I newer ask
him to whom be Is writing nor does he
juk id*. I newer auk him whara be ie go
ieg or what he ie going to do, nod be
never a*fc? me ; io feet we ere one, end
whet one dote ie the will of the other,
and we teach, our cbildteo to do the
a Mho.
Now you ??? thai the marriage* in J

ound reasoning end good eenee, and
ought te be praetic?d io all civilised countries.
No doubt tbie wee by tbe edvica

It might be ur?ed tbet we are a progree*

The Body of Maximilian?Infamout
Treatment.
A Queretaro (Mexico) corrospouden
gives the folllowing details of the treat
ment which is being vouchsafed the mor
tal remains of the unfortunate Arcliduk
by his Mexican executioners :
uI found the c<?f0n containing the, re
mains in a room in the second story o
the house occupied by Seoor tlon Mono
Ledo. A soldier stood guard at the dooi
ready to give admittance to all who migh
desire to look st the body, which willing
ness was, in onr care, somewhat accoleral
ed by the Infhisnce of a few reals. Tb
apartment bore the appearance o! bavin
once been used for a store'room, and wa
both very dark and extremely fillhv.
Tlte Coffin stood In tbe centre of th
room, resting upon a couple of rude woot
en benches, ft is covered with hlack clotl

a row of brass buttons in front, dark bin
pants And heavy cavalry b?ota. II

gloves, very much soiled. Ili* mouth en
eyes were partially open, plainly sbowin
bis teeth And the color of bis eyes.
Ilia beard is quite gone, as well as th
greater part of his hair, which I am it
formed has been cut by Dr. Lisso, wh
had charge of the embalmment, and sold
he received as high as five ounces?|S
?for small locks of the same. The bod
of the Euiperor remained nt L'sso's hour
until Ust week, when it was removed t
its present location, during which lime h
made use of it as a means of speculatiqt
rie also disposed of whatever effects bi
longing to Maximilian lie could obtaii
cnarging large tunu Tor pieces of hi
blood stained garments, which he cut u
and sold. I; is also alleged that he r<
moved a small portion of the skull, fo
which he received a large sum, replacin
I it with wood. I cannot vouch for tli'u
but it is generally believed here. Th
doctor affirms that the Government ha
Mled to pay him his bill for the embalm
inent?tome $40,000, and declared hi
intention of making his money the surer
way possible.

r * Important Proposition.
>
A strong attempt to be made by Congress
to harmonize matters with the President
} on the Southern question.
Aa important proposition has just been
started by influential Republicans which
seems to meet with considerable favor, and
| may Lave a controlling influence upon the
action of Congress at the approaching
* session and upon the next Presidential
election. -It is, that a Congressional Com
mittee shall be appointed, by the consent
S of all Senators and H?r>r<?c?r>?? ;?.?*? ~ i
} concur in the proposition, to wait upon
President Johnson and request him to
state definitely what plan he has to submit
for the speedy reconstruction and ad?
mission of the Southern States, as lie has
hitherto opposed every policy that has
j been initiated by Congress. They presume
that he has a definite practical plan
of reconstruction in his own mind which.
k he believes would be effective and wbich
would meet hit approval. They would
then ascertain to a certainty whether there
t is any possibility of the legislative and
executive branches of the government barmonizing
on a policy that would restore
p the ex rebel States to representation bo
j Tore the ne*t Presidential eleetioo, or
1 whether tbe country must remain in its
f present condition until those two brunches
? shall be brought Into accord by the de?
cision of the ballot box In 1868. Attempts
t have before been made to patch up ?
compromise between the President and
i, Congre&a, but they have been OD'y indi0
vidual volunteer efforts. Tbe proposed
p movement contemplates the concurrence
g of a sufficient number of republicans to
secure a majority of each house, should
e any agreement l?e possible, and tbe applii
|. 1 cation to the President will be formal and
I authoritative. It originates with those
,, who fear that impeachment may bring a
] I destructive financial crisis upon the coun>

j. i Senator Morten, of New York, and other

g The Southern Messenger, published at
Madison, Florida, calls Gov. Orr's letter

' to Sickles "about tbe most sickening and
0 puke-provocative case" of southern sub;
serviency to Mongrel despotism. The
0 Messenger further says :
- "About as sickening and diagusting a

o truly constitutional lover of his country,
e is the present degrading, not to say dis
j graceful course of some of those meo who

is Got. Orr, it ie said, ie aiming at the
it Mongrel nomination for the Vice-Fresh
dency. To fit birnself for that poet, he
ought to eat a great deal of dirt, and
that of the naatinst quality too.' Swab
lowing Sickles, however, we should say,
^ was taking in more dirt than is required,
# even by the aim of the Governor'e ambition.

to himself nominated on the ticket
with Douglas for the Vico?Presidency.?

Wheat and Grass.
There is no rennon whv the nl?n??ra
and farmers of all the tipper and middle
districts of South Carolina should not
grow their own wheat for bread, and their
own grass for hay. The great wheat
graioaries of the world, on the Levant,
on the Mediterranean, and on the Nile,
have a climate and soil not so very dissimilar
to that found in this State, within the
limits indicated above. And *t only tei
quires such attention as is bestowed on
the corn, and especially on the cotton
crop, to insure a (successful growing of the
former as the latter. If anything we
could say would induce only one planter
to make a fair trial, we should be more
than compensated for all we have written
or would write on that subject. Will
not some one make the experiment, even
if on a very limited scale. In the hope
that some one may try it, we will proceed
to make such suggestions as may aid hiui
in his undertaking.
Now is the time to determine upon *
piece or land to be Reded in wheat end
grass. An oat stubble is preferable, but
land now in corn is not to be rejected on
that account. If the latter is selected, tet
the corn be gathered ae soon aa it will
bear it. Tbep let the land be broken up
as deep as two horses or mules can break
it. If after a good rain, the land is
cloddy and in bad tilth, a harrow, roller
or scooter plow will eoon put it in good
condition. This should all bo done by or
before the middle of October, between
i which time and the first of November
the wheat and grass seeds should be put
in the ground. This operation ie far better
performed with the drill and guano
attachment. These drills are for sale iu
Baltimore, and are considered the most
remunerative investment the planter can
I make. With the seeding, there should
| j # a
he applied but one hundred pounds of
Peruvian guano, mixed with at least double
that quantity of some one of the
pbosphatic compounds, to the acre.
, Some one of the white wheats are best
and that variety known as the white
wheat, on rich lands or on lands manured
as above, should be preferred. This variety
matures earlier than any other, and
, is not subject to rust or winter killing. It
may be injured by the late froata in the
spring, after it lias jointed, but with this
exception, we should take it as the safest
crop, and one that will always command
the highest market price.
Almost any of the experienced Baltimore
seedsmen mav h? r?!i?rt imn? tr>
I ----? ?' - fv" ~
prescribe ihe quantity and variety of grans
seeds that may be sown to the acre with
wheat.
Any of our good lands,'not subject to
overflow, thus prepared, manured and
|. seeded down, will yield a crop of wheat
that will gladden the heart of the owner,
and a crop of grass afterwards that will
surpass his most sanguine calculations ;
i whilst his land will be left in a condition
I to produce far more to the acre than ba
( fore being seeded in grass and wheat.?
