WOMEN AND WEDDINGS.
What is its Wo ml roil* Fascination ??Can
Women Knjog a Heaven where " T/tcre
is Neither Aiarrgimj nor Ciiviwj in Marriuyc."
Woman might bo defined as a strange
contradictory, delightful creature, who, at
all times, in nil places, nnd in all circumstances,
feels the deepest interest in wed
dings. * This interest is largely independent
of marriage as uu institution, beiug concentrated
on the ceremony, the form of the
serious subUaucc that is to follow. In her
great concern for weddings, woman shows
a marked sexual distinction from man, who,
as a rule, cares nothing for them, regarding
them, in fact, ns a bore. He is not .so illsensible,
of course, as to consider wedlock
<L -.11.. ?T
apauicncany. no may account it more
solemn than death, with which, according
to a contemporaneous cynic, all our sorrows
end, while with wedlock they ouly begin.
Hut of the more wedding he would have as
little as possible, ranking that best which
is the briefest, simplest, least conspicuous.
Most uien, however fond of their brides,
hate tlio ceremony, and are vastly relieved
when it is actually over. They may be too
polite to say so, but they are pretty apt to
feel so. Desirous as they may be for marriage,
getting married, especially in a prominent,
elaborate way, irks them exceedingly.
They so dislike to figure even at their own
wedding that many of them would not take
auy part in it could they be conveniently
spared. Hut they are paiufully conscious,
like the murderer delayed on the road to
the gallows, that the execution cannot go
on without them. They almost always look
incro melancholy at a wedding than at a
funeral, and any ordinary observer would
wonder why they are there if he did not
k.no\v the coaxing, urgcut ways of sisters,
sweethearts, aud wives, particularly when
the overture to the scrio eouiic opera of
matrimony is to bo socially performed.
How totally different is all this with women,
whether young or old, matricd or single,
civilized or savage ! The nuptial pasbiou
is universal with them ; they will forget
woes and pains for a chance to assist at a
wedding, whose very natno awakens a tumult
in their breasts and thrills them with
expectation Who has ever seen a woman
uu .villing to attend a wedding? Any woman
who should not respond with alacrity and
fervor to such au iuvitatiou must either be
out of her sexual senses or at the point of
death. She must he?hut what's-the use?
The noun substantive woman has, in no
known language, any such declension.
Hay and- June are the marrying mouths.
They arc chosen because they are likely to
he plcasaut nearly everywhere, ami because,
in this country, they precede the period
when people go out of town. A ery few
women would ho willing to quit the city,
thought it were broiliueand most iinhnahh.
ful, while more connubial visions were to be
had. Muny are tarrying now, despite the
premature heat aud sultriness, for the reason
that the matrimonial activity still continues.
And what season can he so joyous
aud enjoyable, so precious, so fascinating to
the feminine mind, the world orer, as the
counubiul season? It might bo thought
that after a woman had been satisfactorily
married and fairly settled in life, she would
be indifferent to the marriage of others,
especially when in no manner related to her
by blood or sympathy, lint her own marriage
rather whets than appeases her appetite
for seeing anybody ami everybody else
married.
She revels in the very thought of a prospective
wedding; the nearer it approaches
the greater her excitement, the more difficult
her self-control. She talk? about il i
continually ; discusses it in all its ramifications
; speculates upon its remotest possibilities.
What will the bride wear ? How
will site look ? How will the groom bear
himself? How many bridesmaids will there
be? What will be the hum of service?
Where will they go for a bridal tour. Will '
they board or keep house? How many'
and what kind of presents will they have ? j
Those are a few of the thousand and one :
questions with which the typical woman .
torments herself weeks before the ceremony '
has taken place. She dreams of it with
eyes shut and eyes open ; she tries to arrange
it in her own mind ; her ideas of how it
ought to bo arc exhaustless ; shu has nuptial
plans enough to supply a young ladies'
seminary. And when the day comes she
is sure to bo there bclore the hour named,
no matter what the weather or how great
the distance. Ordinarily she is lardy or
rather fussy in dressing, and very apt to be
behind time ; but never at a wedding. I for
premature punctuality can be relied on ; for
she fears, if she were only punctual, that
something might escape her. She wants
to be on the spot before the performance
begins ; she is anxious to catch the first
flush of the occasion*, to soj tin* invited
guests come in, and to fix in memory each
seam and told of every new gown.
Although slu has absorbed seres of wed- j
dings, all essentially alike, every wedding
has a fresh ehartn for her, and floods her
with fresh emotions. She watches thcglowing,
nervous, uneasy bride; the bride's
mother, bathed in tears at the consummation
of what she has probably striven long
and wistfully to insure ; the stiff, disturbed
dridesinaids ; tho whole of the solemn farce,
ns if it had never been before. She adores
it, incontestahly. Weddings arc so precious
to her that she wishes in her heart that she
might bo married every week, merely for
the weddings, sake The thought of fitness,
harmony, responsibility, tho future, the
chosen victim, never occurs to her. Above
all tho grave, disturbing potentialities,
floats the shilling image of an endless wedding.
\\ hat is i(s wondrous lasi-iiiation to her :
Is it the clothes, the show, the saerilioo. the
latent malice, or the hope lor others crushed
in one's self ? Something, perhaps, of all
of these. IJut beyond ami overtopping
rhuui, it is tli" instinct ami nature of the
woman, who lakes to Weddings as duck lilies
take to water. I fit he (rue that in Heaven

THE WORK AND WORTH OF A COUNTY
PAPER.
The county paper, as we would liavi) it
ill the campaign, should bo conducted on
strictly business principles. The space
occupied nod the work done should be paid '
for by the parties and politicians precisely
as is done by merchants. Of course this
has reference only to tho business department
of the paper, and not to the editorial,
which is conducted, or ought to be, wholly
independent of the iiuaneiai ijuestioii. This
would put it oil a basis enabling it to do
efficient and satisfactory work. Kschew
ing cucap auvcrtiscnicuts its space could be
devoted to reading matter instead, and sufficient
editorial help could be employed to
have tins matter properly prepared. It is
the fashion in sonic quarters to say that
many country papers are of no value in a
campaign. This is an error. J'very party
paper published, without exception, is of
value to its party, if it does nothing more
than advertise its meetings. The man who
does not take his county paper is outside
of the circle of political intelligence and,
largely, of political influence, lie usually
bear's of a campaign meeting after it is held,
lie never makes a vote. Indeed, he is fortunate
if some one other than himself does
not control his own vote. He is apt to be
hauled to the polls on election day. A
party that is so foolish as to nominate a
uiau of this class for office?and it is sometimes
done?always finds that it has an
incubus ou its hands instead of a helper,
and he is usually beaten in (he end.
As a rule, country papers are making
every possible effort to fully meet the just
demands of the public. The consequence
is in.ik inun improvement is markua ami
rapid. 1 believe that this is the case in
every community that has the wisdom and
the sense to properly appreciate and reward 1
such effort. A good paper is as sure to respoud
to a liberal patronage as the grass
does to a generous rain, and the county
that will not give such a patronage ought
not to have any paper at all. Let such
counties remain in darkness, unless you
wish to do the work of a missionary, anil
suffer his hardships and privations.
The worst load that a country paper has
to carry is the would be great man. You '
all know him. He expects you to call 011 him
each week and get the cue for your editorials. 1
A complete record must he kept of his goings
and comings. lie likes to sec the prefix,
"lion." attached to his name. When he
takes snuff it is a public^outrage if you don't
sneeze. When he makes a speech, however
trivial, you are expected to publish a vor- 1
batiin report. If be has aspirations?-ami 1
lie always has?you are to push him with
all your power, and when lie is defeated? '<
as be usually is?it is your fault, of course; 1
and from that time you have the bitter
cnuiity of both himself and his friends.? '
The really meritorious fellow citizeti with \
aspirations is he who leaves it to vour own 1
? */ I
voluntary judgment as to what you shall 1
not do, and who not only appreciates hut
reciprocates in every proper way the favors ,
that you are able to bestow on liint.
There are some who, while conceding the
% (
power and usefulness of a country paper,
yet, through sonic btrange perversity, are '
constantly crippling it. They expect it to
compete in price with metropolitan journals,
which enjoy largo advertising putro- '
nage at enormous prices, and which are so j
located as to have extensive fields from |
which to draw subscribers; or with that
other local paper, whose only ambition is
cheapness instead of quantity or quality, ,
and whose columns are largely monopolized |
by cheap advertisements.
They bring you o >ituary notices, resolutions
in mcmoriam, church and society notices,
all to go in-free, and then wonder why it is
that you are not able to publish a paper
equal to the New York Timrs. I presume
that they abound in every community.
No one gives so much to the campaign as :
the publisher of a county paper. He is i'
constantly at it, not only giving his services ;
as an editor and publisher, but those other ;
things tor which he should have additional !
and prompt pay. His support to his party, |
to be effective, should not be mechanical, and j
for this reason his opinions and judgment
ought to largely prevail in making up the j
ticket and in managing the campaign. In ,
I this way his mind is enlisted as well as ;
hand, and what lie docs is a work of love j
and devotion to his party principles.? j
} Wherever this is the ease, our party is sure
j to win in the end. It inly take years of
j effort, but the result is assure as that light
follows knowledge.?\cic Harmony JityisUr.

PERSONAL CHARACTER.
Tlio I'almrtto 1 't oman disputes the theory
recently stated by us (hit the Democratic
party can will on uii issue of personal character,
if it will "oppose the unclean with
the clean, the tainted with the pure." Says
the IVoman. ? _
' The head and heart qualities of a candidate
are very little considered by tho ipajority
of voters. Is he a Democrat or a
llepublican '( Is he on our side ? Docs
he go for the party, right or wrong 'I These
arc the questions asked, and if they arc
satisfactorily answered, there tho investigation
ends. It is a mistaken policy to rako
up a uiau's dead and buried faults and dclinqucnci
:s merely because he is a candidate
on the other side, and expect to hurt him
thereby among his friends. It usually has
.. ......? i ..n . v.? ... I.
4% cuiiiiiiij untxtj uiiu t'uiiiiun^ tnu i?cai
and wavering, and bring* the stragglers
and the doubtful into line. Simple abuse
of a candidate, with no other foundation
for it than that of a difference of political
faith and party affiliation issiuiply ridiculous,
and usually rebounds upon the heads of
those who iudulgo in it."
Hut the power that arbitrates and decides
between the two great parties in this country,
is the immense aggregate of the unattached
vote. In the North, where the issues
between the parties arc not, as in the
South, social and commercial life or death,
there are thousands of voters without strong
allegiance to the organization cr principles
of either party, who look on both sides, and
east their ballots for the best man. The
body of the Republican party there consists
of intelligent and respectable citizens, who,
as we think, err in their theories of government,
but will not hesitate in deciding between
a man of unblemished character and
a convicted bribe-taker, perjurer and suborner
of perjury. If the theory set forth
by the Yeoman was strictly accurate, there
would ucvcr bo a change in tiio vote polled
by the two parties. The same men would
be found on each side year after year.
The offences of James A. Garfield
and Chester A. Aktih u arc not "dead
and buried." They are rank and green,
and .smell to Heaven. They have never
been forgotten. The abuse of them has
other foundation than "a difference of political
faith." It is founded on official reeord ;
on sworn evidence; on the judgment of their
own political friends, conversant with the
facts; and. in Garfield's ease, on his own
handwriting.
If the Democratic party, assembled in
convention this day, nominate another pair
of political tricksters?if they set up two
other criminals to oppose Garfield and
AuTfrnt,?then, indeed, it will be merely
a party issue between hostile organizations,
and the most accomplished rogue will win.
11nt the convention can make the question
tne between corruption and purity?between
evil and good. We have confidence enough
in the American people to believe that the
latter will win. ? Greenvifh- New*.
' Dkar, Old 1?a" Was Tiikue.?It
ivas dark in the depot one day last week
when the evening train came in. An elierly
farmer was hacked up against the
partition, watching in opeu-uiouthcd wonJer
the big pulling engine and the yellow
;overed ears as they discharged tie ir pa.-scu;ers,
when a handsome young girl in a
sealskin cloak dashed forward and throwng
herself upon tlie honest granger's manly
ireast. imprinted a kiss upon his sunburned
jheek and exclaimed :

liow's Jennie and how's John?and oh !
I'm so glad to get hack?atid whore's my
Iriaiik?and oh ! pa, you take the check

The granger was old and kind of dried
up, and lie had never known what it was
to have a wife, much less a daughter. lie
mistrusted the young lady in the sealskin
saek had made a mistake, hut instead ol
stammering and hemming and hawing, he
came gallantly up to the scratch, and throwing
both arms around the lair creature, he
made up his mind to ho a father to her or
die in the attempt. Imprinting a kiss like
the report of a pistol on her cheek he eutliu
siastically ejaculated :
' ( Hi, yer mother's well, an' John a Henry

During the fourteenth century,- whet* the
Hebrew race was undergoing one of tho.se
periodical persecutions which it has been
subjected to during the long reign of events
as recorded by history, since the birth of
Moses, there lived ill Ispahan an opulent
Jewish merchant Persecutiou, which always
seeks a vulnerable point and never
dares assail strength, fixed upon the rich
Jew as a victim. Tho Cadi of Ispahan,
from motives of jealousy and class prejudice,
made matters so unpleasant for the
Jew that iii despair lie went to him and
said : "You will uot allow me to live here;
where shall I go "(Jo to Bagdad," replied
the Mufti. "But," responded the
Hebrew, "vour brother rules thorn " "(In
to Ispan, then." "But your uncle is Chief
Magistrate there." "Go to Damascus, then."
"But your nephew rules there." "Then, if
my family will not allow you to live in this
world, go to h?11." "Ah, me," replied
the Jew, "you forget that your respected
father is dead."
