WOXRH AND WEDDINGS. What is it* Wondrous Fascination ??Can Women h/njoy a /leaven where " There 44 Aeither Marry imj nor Gioiny in Marriuye." Woman uiight bo defined as a strange contradictory, delightful creature, who, at all times, in all places, and in all circumstances, fools tho deepest interest in weddings. * This interest is largely independent of ni%ifiagc as an institution, being oonccutrated on the ceremony, tho form of the serious subdaucc that is to follow. In her great concern for weddings, woman shows a marked sonml * ?1 ... ..gimtiiuu rum lima, who, ns a rule, cares nothing for them, regarding them, in fact, na a bore. He is not so insensible, of course, as to cousider wedlock apathetically. He may account it more solemn than death, with which, according to a contemporaneous cynic, all our sorrows end, while with wedlock they only begin, llut of the mere wedding, he would have as little ns possible, ranking that best which is the briefest, simplest, least conspicuous. Most men, however fond of their brides, bate the ceremony, and are vastly relieved when it is actually over. They may be too polito to say so, but they are pretty apt to i'eel so. Desirous as they may bo 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 thorn would not take auy part in it could they be convenieutly spared. Hut they are paiufully conscious, like the murderer delayed on the road to the gallows' that the execution caririot go on without them. They almost always look nicro melancholy at a wedding than at a funeral, and any ordinary observer would woudcr why they arc there if he, did not know the coaxing, urgent ways of sisters, sweethearts, and wives, particularly when the overture to the scrio comic opera of matrimony is to be socially performed. How totally different is all this with women, whether young or old, mairied or single, civilized or savage ! The uuplial passion is uuivcrsal with them; they will forget woes and pains for a chance to assist at a weddiug, whose Tcry namo awakens a tumult in their breasts and thrills them with expectation Who has ever seen a woman un Arilliug to attend a weddiug? Any wouian who should not respond with alacrity and fervor to suoh an iuvitation must either be out of her sexual senses or at the point of death. She must be?but what's the use ? The noun substantive woman has, in' no mown language, any such declension. May a?d June are the marrying months. They arc chosen bceauso they arc likely to be pleasaut ntarly everywhere, ami because, in this country, they precede the period when people go out of town. Very few women would he willing to quit the city, thought it were broiling and most unhealthful, while more connubial visious were to be had. Many arc tarrying uow, despite the premature heat and sultriness, for the reason thai the matrimonial activity still continues. Aud what season can be so joyous nod enjoyable, so precious, so fascinating to the feminino mind, the world oTer, as the conuubial seasou ? It might bo thought that after a woman had been satisfactorily married and fuirly settled in life, she would be indifferent to the marriage of others, especially when in no manner related to her by blood or sympathy. But her own marriage rather whets than appeases her appetite for seeing anybody aud everybody else married. She revols in tho very thought of a prospective weddihg; the nearer it approaches the greater her excitement, the more difficult her self-control. She talks about it continually ; discusses it in nil its ramifications ; speculates upon its remotest possibilities. What will the bride woar ? How will she look ? How will the groom bear himself/' How many bridesmaids will there be? What will be the fomi 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 ? These arc a few of the thousand and ono questions with which the typical womau 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 be arc cxhaustlcss ; she has nuptial plans enough to supply a young ladies' seminary. And when the day comes sho is sure to be there before the hour named, no matter what tho weather or how great the distance. Ordinarily she is tardy or rather fussy in dressing, and very apt to be behind time ; but never at a weddincr. Ilcr premature punctuality can be relied ou ; for she fears, if she wero 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*, ?o scj the invited guests come in, and to flx in memory each seaui and fold of every new gown. Although sh i has absorbed scores of weddings, all essentially alike, every weddiugi has a fresh charm for her, and floods her with fresh emotions. She watches the glowing, nervous, uneasy bride; the bride's mother, bathed in tears at the consummation of what she has probably striven long and wistfully to insuro ; the stiflf, disturbed dridesmaids ; tho wliolo of the solemn farce, as if it had never bceu before. Sho adores a k I oftAn#/\otnl.l ?? \\T IV, IIIUUUII/OVUUIJ. TV VUUIIl^O ill t'SU prrCIUUij to her that sho wishes in her heart that she might bo married every week, merely for the weddings, sako. The thought of fitness, harmony, responsibility, tho future, the chosen victim, never occurs to her. Abnvo 11 tho grave, disturbing potentialities, floats the shining image of au endless wedding. "What is its wondrous fascination to her ? Is it the clothes, the show, the sacrifice, the latent malice, or tho hope for others crushed in one's mIF? Something, perhaps, of nil of these. Ifut beyond' and overtopping rhout, it is th" instinct and nuture of the woman, who takes to weddings as ducklings take to water. If it he true that in Heaven there is neither .narrying nor giving in marriage, what is to become of women ? Can they enjoy a Heaven deprived of weddings ? WouM they not boundlessly prefer to Heaven without weddings the other place with weddings??New York Time*. An Illinois girl's toast : ' The young men of America?their arms our sirpparters. our arms their reward; fall in, i^cry, fall in." TUB WORK AND WORTH OF A COUNTY PAPER. The county paper, as we would have it in the campaign, should ho conducted on strictly business principles. The space occupied and the work done should be paid for by the parties and politician* precisely as is done by merchants. Of course this has refereucc ouly to tho business department of the paper, and not to the editorial, which is conducted, or ought to be, wholly independent of tho Qoauciul question. This would put it on n basis enabling it to do efficient and satisfactory work. Eschewing cheap advertisements its space could be devoted to reading matter instead, and sufficicnt editorial help could be employed to have this matter properly preparud. It is i the fashion iu eouic quarters to say that many couutry papers nro of no value in a campaign. This is an error. Every party paper published, without exception, is of value to its party, if it does nothing more than advertise its meetings. The man who docs not take his county paper is outside of the circle of political intelligence and, j largely, of political influence. lie usually tiiiiia ui u luuipuiga mcciing alter it is held, lie ucver makes a vote. Indeed, lie is fortunate if some one other than himself docs not control his own vote. He is apt to bo hauled to the polls on election da'y. A party that is so foolish as to nominate a uiau of this class for office?and it is somotimcs done?always finds that it has an incubus on its bauds instead of a helper, aud lie is usually beaten in the end. As a rulo, couutry papers aro making every possible effort to fully meet the just demands of the public. The conscquencj is that their improvement is marked aud rapid. I bclicvo that this is the case iu every community that has the wisdom and the sense to properly appreciate and reward such effort. A good paper is as sure to rcspoud to a liberal patronage as the grass 1 docs 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 rcinaiu in darkness, unless you wish to do the work of a missionary, ailti 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. Ike expects you to call on hiui each week aud get the cue for your editorials. A complete record must be kept of his goings and comings. lie likes to sec the prefix, "Hon." attached to his name. When he takes snuff it is a public^outragc if you dou't sueezc. When he makes a speech, however trivial, you are expected to publish a verbatim report. If lie hos aspirations?and he always has?you arc to push him with ail your power, and wheu he is defeated? as he usually is?it is your fault, of course ; and Irani that time you have the bitter enmity of both himself and his friends.? The really meritorious fellow citizen with aspirations is he who leaves it to your own voluutary judgment as to what you shall not do, and who not only appreciates but reciprocates in every proper way the favors that you arc able to bestow on him. There arc some who, while conceding the power and usefulness of a country paper, yet, through some strange perversity, arc constantly crippling it. They expect it to compete in price with metropolitan journals, which enjoy large advertising patronage at enormous prices, and which arc so located as to have extensive fields from which to draw subscribers; or with that other local paper, whoso only ambition is cheapness instead of quantity or quality, and whose columns arc largely monopolized by cheap advertisements. Tlicy bring you o >ituary notices, resolutions in menioriam, church and society notices, all to go iu-frcc, and then wonder why it is that you arc not able to publish a paper equal to the New York Times. I presume that they abound in every community. No one gives so much to the campaign as the publisher of a county paper. lie is constantly at it, not only giving his services as uu cuuur una publisher, but those other things for which ho should hnvo additional and prompt pay. His support to his party, to be effective, should not be niechauical, and for this reasou his opinions aod judgment ought to largely prevail in making up tho ticket and in managing tho campaign. Iu this way his mind is enlisted as well as hand, and what he docs is a work of lovo and devotion to his party principles.? Wherever this is tho caso, our party is sure to win in tho end. It miy take years of effort, but the result is assure as that light follows kuowledgc.?New Harmony Hey liter. " ?? ???

The Palmetto yeoman disputes the theorj recently stated by us (hit the Democrat it party can win on an issuo of personal char ucter, if it will "opposo tho uuclcan witb t ho clenD, the tainted with tho pure." Snyt tho J eoman. ^ m , Tho head and heart qualities of a can didute ore very littlo considered by tho ipa jority of voters. IS bo a Democrat or t llepublicau ? Is ho on our sido ? Poet he go for tho party, right or wrong ? These are the questions asked, and if they arc satisfactorily answered, there the iuvestiga tion ends. It is a mistaken policy to rnkc up a mau's dead and buried faults and do liuqucnci.'S merely because he is a candidate on the other side, and expect to hurt him thereby aiiioug his friends. It usually hat a contrary effect, and confirms tho weak and wavering, aud brings the stragglers aud tho doubtful into lino. Simple abuse of a candidate, with no other foundation for it than that of a difforonco of political faith and party affiliation is simply ridiculous aud usually rebounds upou the heads ol those who indulgo in it." Put the power that arbitrates and decides between the two great parties iu this country, is the immense aggrogato of the unattached vote. In the North, where tho issues bctwccu the parties are not, as in the South, social and commercial lifo or doath, there arc thousauds of voters without strong allcdianCO lO tho OIWrniiMlinn nr nrinnlnl .ti o - r; of either party, who look on both sides, and cast their ballots for tho 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 tho Yeoman was strictly aocurntc, there would never bo a change in the vote polled by tho two parties. The same men would be found on each side year after year. The offences of James A. Garfield and Chester A. Arthur arc not "dead and buried." They aro rank and green, and stnoll to Heaven. They have never been forgottcu. The abuse of them has other foundation than "a difference of political faith." It is founded ou official record ; on sworn evidence; on tho judgment of their own political friends, conversant with the facts; and, in Garfield's caso, 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 Arthur,?then, indeed, it will bo merelj a party issue botween hostile organizations, and the most accomplished rogue will win. Rut the convention can make the question one between corruption aud purity?between evil and good. We have conGdeuce enough in the American people to believe that the latter will win.? Greenville News. "Dear Old Pa" Was There.?It was dark in tho depot one day last week I when the cvcuillir train r.-imn in An nl dcrly farmer was backed up .against the partition, wutchiug in opou-inoulhcd wuudcr the big puffing engine and ihe yellow covered cars as they discharged their pat-sen gers, when a handsome young girl in n sealskin cloak dashed forward and throw ing herself upon tho honest granger's manly breast, imprinted a kiss upon hissuuburncd check and exclaimed : "You dear old pa, I knew you would he waiting for me ! And how's mother, and how's Jenuic and how's Johu?and oh ! I'm so glad to get hack?and whore's nij trunk?and oh ! pa, you take tho cheek and let's hurry." The granger was old and kiud of dried up, and he had never kuown what it was to have a wife, much less a daughter, lie mistrusted the young lady in tho sealskin sack had made a mistake, but instead oi stammering and hemming and hawing, he came gallantly up to the scratch, and throwing both arms around the fair creature, he made up his uiiud to be a father to her or die in the Attempt. Imprinting a kiss like the report of a pistol on her cheek ho enthusiastically ejaculated : "Oh, ycr mother's woll, an' John a Henry an' (smack) an' Jane an' Susan (smack, smack,) an' Horace an' Bclindy an' Calvin (smack), an' Peter, (smack, smack,) oh, they're all smart an'hearty an*?" By the timo the young lady's friends could get to her she had slid into a stony faint and they had to lug her home in a hack, while the aged granger, as ho finishod the third rouud with ber outraged young uian and sauntered out of the depot, leaving hiui with a had eye and a ruptured coat, chuckled to himself: "The old man's getting old an' stiff an' careless like, but when any young females wants to play any gnincs o' Copenhagen, they'll find him right to time, an' 1 shouldn't he s'priscd if it rained 'foro nino o'clock.
