At no period, perhaps, in their
life, do young men need the intspi
ration of virtuous love and the
isympathy of a compattion in their
self denying toil as when they
1rat enter the battle for their own
support. Early marriages are
permanent moralities, and de.
ferred marriages are tempta
tions to wickedness. And yet
every year it becomes more and
more dificult, concurrent with
t he reigning ideas of society, for
a young man to enter upon that
matrimonial state which is the
proper guard ot their virtue, as
wtll as their courage and enter
prise. The battle of life is almost
at the beginning. There it is that
a man needs wedlock. But a
wicked and ridiculous public sen
timent puts a man who is in so
ciety, or out of seiety, for that
matter, largely on the ground of
condition, and not of disposition
and character. The man tht has
means wherewith he can visibly
live amply is in good society, as a
general rule. The man that hax
virtue and stern manliness, but
has nothing withal external to
show, is not uaually considered in
good society. Ambitious young
men will not therefore marry un
til.th y can meet their expenses:
but that is deterring for years and
ears the indispensable virtue.
Society is bad where two cainot
live cheaper than one! and young
men are under bad insuences who,
when in the very morning of life,
and better fitted than at any later
period to grow tog.ther with one
who is their equal -nd mate, are
debarred from marrying throtigh
scores of years from mere prudet.

and life are sacrificed to the pock.

Yesterday a Mrs. Annie Osborne
appeared in the.city of All-any in
seareb of a runaway husband; who,
according to her story, had eloped
with, or been stolen by, his own
mother. It seems that Mrs Os
borne senior and Mrs. Osborne ju.
nior could not dwell together in
unity and love under the same
vine and fig tree; and the former,
having more influence over the
mind of the son and husband than
the latter had. took him under
her apron strings and run off with
him. Annie the deserted wife
and affectionate daughter-in-law,
thereupon publishes the following
card to the public, in which she
shows that she as a woman of vim,
and no mistake:
-Information wanted of Charles
William Osborne, who eloped with
his sweet angel of a mother, who
retains the faculty of disturbing
the peace of all with whom she
comes in contact. The lady and
gentleman who are the cause of
my penning these lines, lived at
No. - West Thirty eghth street,
New.York, and on the 14th day
of May, 1869. the loving couple
eloped to Albany, including a sis
ter named Libbie, a black.and-tan
dog named Fanny, a cart-load of
furniture and all the hat-boxes his
mother could collect for years.
The gentleman who has so deeply
fallen in love with the live stock
ind dea5i stock above mentioned.
I deeply regret to say. happens to
be the husband of the much perse
epted woman who writes these
lines. I am anxious to find him
not that I ever purpose stooping
so low as to live with him; but us
he is twenty-six years old, I have
serious thoughts of assisting his
mother to wean him. his stature
is five feet eight inches.; he has

,idered quite the pink of beaux.
The angel's name is Hannah Os

who lived. near Rensselaerville.
Her maiden name was Legrange
I wish those gentlemen who have
the ruling of things in general
would have the kindness to enact
a law allowing people to hang,

in-law who intentionally and
maliciously make disturbances

A M-rHomeCA L YOUNG LADY.
We hear of a very precise and
methodical young lady in town.
who divides her time up with the
utmost exactness. For instance,
hie allows just so much time to
-ating, so mneh to visiting, so
-uch to reading, etc., and on no
accident suffers herself to deviute
from her rules Ifshe has a caller,
hie says, looking at her wa h.
'o-, I have just ten minutt a t,
see you in witnunt infrmngwag upon
my time formedit ation " A friendl
called niot long aigo to relate to
her the sad particularsofthe death
of her much-beloved graanmot her.
The methodical young woman was
affected, even to tears, but didn't
frget her time card. She drew~
forth her watch at the most touch
ing point in the story, and begged
her friend to cut it short, as in
rour minutes and twenty-two see
e,nds she must prlactice with her
dumb bellesa!--incinnaati Tlimes.
A Suowaa or SUEZts.--The Del
aware County EPa.) Repuiblican of
the 15th, says : "On Saturday
afternoon last, about 3 o'clock, a
shower of shells, accompanied by
large dIrops of rain, fell in this~
vicinity. Fo'- an hour p)revious to
the storm, a heavy black cloud ap.
peared in the West, which spread
rapidly in all directions, betoken
ing~ a thunder-storm of unusual
violenee. At half-past 2 o'clock,
a high wind prevailed, which sub.
sided as the rain .commenced to
fall in large drops, accompanied by
what we and osher" supposed to~
be' hail, but wvhich proved on ex
amination to be small shells re
-smbling the shell fish, known as
the round clam. We .have a num
ber of these minute shells now in
our possession, gathered by a lady
during thestorm, which are open
to the inspection of the curious o1
those who are .doub&ful ..n the
subject."

-Do we Sleeploag Eiough?
We boast that we are wide awake
people. So tar as that relates
to the. quantity 4four wide-awake
fulness, it. is a serious question
whether we do not pride ourselves
upon a serious blunder. Our late
hours and our early hours; our
night work and our night pleasure;
our traveling or rev. ling when we
had far better be oa downy couches
or hair mattrases. recumbent, are
I far from saluatry to bodies, or
braint+, or character. There are
crowds who, to get.gain, inlduge
their ruling passions, carry out
their prcjects, are incessantly "on

the top of their speed, toiling,

pardonable sin.. We bear men talk
of doing not hing but stieking day
in and day out totheir business;
of reading nothin.but newspapers
and only the commercial portions
of those ; of rusliiug from Dan to
Beersheba without stopping. as
fast as steam ears ean eury them;
of doing any amount of work,
and doing it on tiiejamp, as though
they were running against time.
When we bear men talk thus ; im.
plying that all this-haste and rest.
lussnis is a matter of their own
will, we fail ?o see what there is
so very commendib e in their con
duct, or why they bould speak of
such indefatigable, wearing and
tearing smartness as something

It is in sleep, in regular rest, in
qniet and composure of body and

exhaustion of toil, the renewals of
the mental and hsical forces,
are to be found.- For this reason
provision is made for needful re.

broken frames. premature old age
and untimely graves; they are evi

1. Cultivate an equable temper;
many a man has fallen dead iu a
fit of- passion.
2. Eat regularly not over thrice
a day, and not between meals.
3. Go to bed at regular hours.!
Get -up as so in as you awake of
yourself and do'not sleei in the
day time, at least not longer than
ten minutes before noon.
4. Work always by the day,
and not by the job.
6. Stop working before you are
very much tired, before you are
"fagged out."
6.. Cultivate a t>rous and an
accommodating tenper.
7. Xecer cross a bridge before
you come to it: this will save
half the trouble of life.
8. Never eat. when you are not
hungry, nor drink when you are
not thirsty.
9. Let your appetite always
come uninvited.
10. Cool off in a place greatly
warmer than the one in which
you have been exercising; this
simple rule would prevent ineal
eulable sickness and save millions
of l-res every year.

it is this which destroys so many

13. Wboerer drinks no liquids
at all will add -years of pleasura

warm drinks, the fo'mer are most
pernicious; drinking at meals in
duces persons to eat more than
they otherwise would, as any one
can verify from experiment. and
it is excess in eating which de
vastates- the land with sickness,
suffering and death.
14. After fifty years of age, if
not a day laborer, and sedentary
persons-after tarty. should rat but

persons can soon accustom them

A very young man, living in
Montgomery. in love with a very

Friday evening. The old folks
thought that the c-hildren were
too young to keep e >mpanay, and
conveyed the hint by calling the

In one of his great lectures, t
Prof. Slliman, the younger, allu- t
ded to tlhe skeleton of an enor- b
mous lizard of eighty feet. From
this the Professor inferred, as no '
living specimen of such magni
tude has ever been found, that
the species which it represents
bas degenerated. The verity of a
bis p i4ition he rather singularly t
endeavored to enforce by an a.lu- .
'ion to the well-known existence it
af giants in oldbn times. The fol
owing list is the data upon whieh C
this singular hypothesis is based : P
The giant exhibited at Ro en :
in A83O, the Professor says, meas- a
aredi very near eighteen feet. e
Gorapias saw a girl ' hat was
teen fet high. g
The Giant Galubria, i.rought a
from Arabia to Rome, under Clau. a
lious Csar. was ten feet high. h
Fanuni, who lived in the time '
)f Eugene, If, measured eleven 1t
leat.
The Chevaher Scrog, in his 3
royage to the Peak Teneriffe, t
fhund in one of the caverns of I.
that mountain the head of Gunich, 1
who had sixty teeth and was not c
less than fifteen feet high.
The Giant Farrrgus, slain by t(
Drlande. nephew of Charlemagne, e
was twenty-eight feet high. 9
In 1814, near St. German, was 1
bmd the tomb of the Giant Iso
ret, who was not less than thirty b
Peet high. I
In 1595, near Rouen, was found a
i skeleton whose skull held a b
bushel of corn, and who was nine- g
reen feet high.
The Giant Bacatt, was twenty- q
wo feet high ; his thigh, bones a
were ftund in 1603, near the River 3
Wioderi.
In 1823, near the castle in Da. b
phine, a tomb was found thirty b
uet long. sixteen wide and eight 0
igh. on which was cut in gray b
stone these words, "Ket'lochuig U

We have no doubt that "there 1)
were giants in those days," and I,
