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 there is licit) .mirryinjf nor "ivin^'ni mar rinji", what is become <>l Women ?

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.

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 : 4,You dear old pa, I knew you would he waiting for nie ! And how's mother, and 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 nid let's hurry." 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 an' (smack) an' Jane an' Susan (smack smack,) an' Horace an' Bcliudy an' Calvii (smack), an' Peter, (smack, smack,) oh they're all smart an'hearty an'?"

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.
