In 1853 tie owner of a thrifty little farm in the luxuriant, region of Kentucky, known as the blue grass country, was a comely widow whose bereaved condition had temp ted more than one matrimonial pretender to offer futile suit for the succession. It was believed, indeed, by the neighbors that she had determined to . accept no second liege-lord; but one day, in the autumn of the year mentioned, a dusty warfarer on the public highway leading through the farm thought he detected a less selfish dis? position in the hospitable lady of the grange. A stranger in the place, pausing at her door? way to ask for a drink of water, this astute in? dividual was askedjto enter and take tempora? ry rest; and so ingratiated himself by his defer? ential manner that the kind-hearted widow did not hesitate to give an affirmative answer to his request for permission to call again. He was a respectably educated Irishman of th? better class, traveling in quest of some farm supcrin tendency, and resolved at once to remain in tie neighborhood for a while. His second call was followed by a third, and that by another. In short, before lie neighbors had fairly ex? hausted their stock of wonder at the acquain? tance, they were informed that the widow and the late warfarer were engaged to be married. When the wedding took place it was a fur? ther scandal to the gossips that, as the bride was a Baptist and the bridegroom a Roman Catholic, and each firm in their respective faiths, there were two .ceremonies, one in a Protestant and one in a Catholic Church. TJn Sopular as the match was in' any light, this oubling of the bond was regarded as orainious of not more than half the usual certainties of matrimonial union, and public sentiment pre? dicted that no good would come of it. Sure enough, after a while the Irish husband sud? denly disappeared from Kentucky, wrote briefly to his wife from that city that he had been ab? ruptly 'summoned to Europe on business re? quiring immediate attention, and set sail -on the day upon which his strange letter was da . ted. The next news for the deserted lady was, a report of the loss of his vessel at sea with all on board; and as five or six years passed away without contrary .intelligence from him or any? body else, the widow discarded her robes of 'mourning and gave her still desirable hand to a third husband. But. as the reader was proba? bly suspected, the Celtic rover was not dead; Two or three years after the remarriage of the lady of the grange the latter learned, to her dismay, that ne survived the peril of the sea somewhere abroad, would not disturb her by returning to this country, and counseled her to make her present social status good by obtain? ing a divorce from him. At once withdrawing from .wedlock, the hor? rified woman-did procure a divorce; after which, she and her last husband were re-mar? ried. Thus twice wedded to two successive lords the lady should have been matrimonially settled in life at last. It seemed, however, that the story was not yet ended. In 1861, she was once more a widow, and the eccentric gentle? man in Ireland, hearing of it, crossed the sea once more upon another visit to Kentucky. Once more he appeared at the door of the farm-house' as a "dusty, thiratv warfarer, was recognized by the same hospitable hostess, and, in very penitent fashion, renewed his old suit. Unspeakable was the fresh scandal of the neighbors when they heard that the pair was to be married for the third time! but, for all that, the wedding took place; though only in the Protestant form on this occasion, as bride? groom had renounced his Catholicism; and the union has been exemplary in its harmony and happiness ever since. The story is given to the Clarksville, (Mo.) Sentinel, by a former el? der of the Baptist Congregation, in which the thrice-married husband and wife are now zeal? ous communicants, and he thinks its illustra? tion of the pluralities of matrimony possible within the statue and canon laws is more cu? rious, i f not more romantic than the average invention of the .novelist. Modesty.?Bey* W. B. Sprague, in some advice to his daughter, has the following para? graphs, which it will not injure young ladies to read and treasure up: "There is one point, my daughter, which is too important tobe omitted: I refer to the de? portment which it becomes you to maintain towards the other sex. The importance of this, both as it respects yourself and others, Jou can hardly estimate too highly. On one and, it has too much to do with forming your own character; and I need not say that any lack of prudence in this respect even for a single hour may expose jou to evils which no subsequent caution could enable you effectu? ally to repair. On the other hand, the conduct of every female who is of any consideration^ may be expected.to exert an influence on the character of every gentleman with whom she associates, and that influence-will bo for good or evil, as she exhibits or fails to exhibit a de? partment which becomes her. So commanding is this influence that.it is safe to calculate upon the character of every community from know? ing the prevailing standing of female character, and that can hardly be regarded as an exagger? ated maxim, which declares that 'woman rules the world.' "Let me counsel you then, never to utter an expression, or do an act, which eveu looks like soliciting a gentleman's attention. Remember that every expression of civility, to bo of any value, must be perfectly voluntary; and any wish on your part, whether directly ?r indirect? ly expressed, to make yourself a favorite, will be certain to awaken the disgust of all who know it." ? To prevent the annoyance of ants in your safe, set under the legs or corners a piece of plug tobacco, and let the safe be free from the wall. ? "Oh ! George, your sister is a nice girl, but she does dress her head up so I" "Yes," said George, "but it's the fashion?there's nothing iu it, you know." "ROCK OF AGES." "Rock of Ages, cleft for me," Thoughtlessly the maiden sung, Fell tho words unconsciously From her girlish, gleeful tongue; Sang as little children sing? Sang as sing the birds in June; Fell the words as light leaves down On tho current of the tune? '?'Rock of Ages, cleft forme, Let mo hido myself in Thee." "Lot me hide myself in Thee," Felt her soul no need to hide; Sweet tho song as song could be? And she had no thought beside; All the words unheedingly Fell from lips untouched by care, Dreaming not they each migfi-t be On some other lips a prayer? "Rock of Ages, cleft for mo, Lot me hide myself in Thee.0 "Rock of Ages, cleft for mo"? 'Twas a woman sung them now, Pleadingly and prayer^felly; Every word hor heart did know, * Rose the song as storm-tossed bird " Beats with weary wing.the air; Every note with sorrow stirred? Every syllable a prayor? "Rock of Ages,, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee." "Rock of Ages, cleft for me"? Lips grown aged sung tho hymn, Trustingly and tenderly? Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim, "Let mo hide myself in Thee," Trembling though the voice, and low, Ran the sweet strain peacefully, . Like a river in its now. Who life's thorny paths have pressed; Sung as only they can sing Who behold the promised rest? "Reck of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee." "Rock of Ages, cleft for me," Sung above a coflin-lid; Underneath, all restfuHy, All life's joys and sorrows hid. Never more, O storm-tossed soul! Never more from wind or tide, Never more from billow's roll, Wilt thou need thyself to hide. Could the sightless, sunken eyes, Closed beneath the soft gray hair, Could-the mute and stiffened lips Move again in pleading prayer, Still, aye, still tho words would bo, "Let me hide myself in Thee." Marriage.?Men aud women, and especial? ly young people, do not know that it takes years to marry completely two hearts, even of the most loving and well sorted. But nature allows no sudden change. We slope very gradually, from the cradle to the summit of life. Marriageis gradual,, a fraction of us at a time. A happy wedlock is a long falling in love. I know young persons think love only belongs to brown nair, and plump, round, crimson cheeks. ' So it does for its beginning, but the golden marriage is a part of love which the bridal day knows nothing of. Youth is the tassel and silken flower of love; age is the full corn, ripe and solid in the ear. Beautiful is the morning of love with its prophetic crim? son, violet, purple and gold, with its hoDes of days that arc to come.. Beautiful also is the evening of love, with its glad remembrances, and its rainbow side turned toward heaven as well as earth. Young people marry their op sites in temper atfd general character, and such a marriage 13 commonly a good match. They" do it instinctively. "The young man does not say, "My black eyes require to be wed with blue, and my over vehemence requires to be a a little modified with somewhat of dullness and reserve." When these opposites come to? gether to be wed, they do not know it, but each thinks the other just like himself. Old people never marry their opposite*; they marry their similars, and from calculaiion. Each of these two arrangements is veiy proper. In their long journey these young opposites will fall out Dy the way a great many times, and both get away from the road; but each will charm the other back again, and by-aud-bv they will be agreed as to the place they will go lo, and the road they will go by, and become recon? ciled. The man will be nobler and larger for' being associated with so much humanity unlike himself; aud she will be a nobler woman for having manhood beside her thacseeks to cor? rect her deficiencies and supply her with what she lacks, if the diversity be not too great, and there be real piety and love in their ncarts to begin with. The old bridegroom, having a much shorter journey to make, must associate himself with one like himself. A perfect and complete marriage is, perhaps, as rare as per? fect personal beauty. A real happy marriage of love and' judgment, between a noble man and woman, is one of the things so very hand? some that if the sun were, as Greek poets fabled, a god, he might stop the world in order to feast his eyes with such a spectacle.?Theo? dore Pariser. Woman's Devotion in Trouble.?An old, old story, but a sweet and touching one, is that of a woman's devotion and self-forgetfulness in seasons of sorest sorrow. The double rail? way disaster, of first a frightful collision and then an explosion of locomotives, which oc? curred at midnight on the Chicago and Alton road, was enough to paralyze the strongest nerves, but the awful crash, which sent some from the sleep of life to that of death, was to many of the women, so rudely aroused from fepose, an opportunity for a work of humanity. The conductor of the-sleeping coach tells a straightforward story, which needs no embel? lishment of polished phrases to adorn the an? gelic word of these volunteer sisters of charity : "First thing I knew, the ladies, God bless them, were tearing up their underclothing to bind up the sufferers. Why, sir, in half a minute they had scarcely anything left on them. There .was round one man's hand a lace hankerchief that must have cost a small fortune. One lady thrust something into my hand to tie round a man's arm, which looked like?well, under? clothing. I could not stand that any longer. I did not care what the company said, sol just gave orders to open the lockers and tear up anything that came handy. And they did.? There were two or three ladies tearing sheets into lengths to bind up wounds, while a half dozen others were binding them around the bloody arms and bodies of the wounded men. There was one little lady who was an angel; she worked?how she worked 1 There's her card. God bless her," and he handed the re? porter a card marked "Mrs. Robert McCart, No. 212 South Centre street, Bloomington." "I said I would get her name into the papers, and she begged me not to. But there it is." A glorious girl, Miss Tracy, the daughter of the editor of a paper in Houston, Texas, dis? tinguished herself for her devotion aud careful attention to the sufferers, who were racked with every torture. Earth has no medal nor tribute of honor that can heighten the beauty of this loving kindness, which sparkles up in the full tide of womanly devotion and sympathy in the arid waste of human selfishness like a fountain in a burning desert. Managing a Husband.?A Pennsylvania lady has a most romantic and ingenious way of managing the gentleman so happy as to be her husband. Exasperated by her persistent con? versation, he ungallantly boxed her ears the other day. The wretched woman cast but one lingering, reproachful glance upon her lord and fled, simply remarking that the briny deep should wash away the insult. Leaving behind her every tiling most dear to her?the home of her married life, full of beautiful and cherished memorier?this heart-broken woman rushed frantically to the canal, and, with one parting sigh, threw iri a largo stone with a mighty splash. Then she went and hid herself in the bushes and giggled, while her husband and twenty other men hurried up, with horror de? picted on their countenances, and wildly dragged the canal for her body. When the in? jured woman became convinced that the wretch had suffered enough, she appeared from be- j hind the bushes and led him home, a resigned and willing victim. 1 An Important Invention for Cotton Planters and Spinners. * . The "Hope^ Cotton Company,"'of this city, are the owners of a new and novel invention in cotton machinery, which may be considered the most important and valuable to the growers, sellers and manufacturers of cotton since the invention of the cotton gin. It is a new machine, or series of machines, invented by Mr. Joe Ralston, of Texas; and is patented under the name of the "Joe Ralston Cotton Cleaner." By the use of this new machine? ry cotton is raised or improved in quality sev? eral grades, making cotton, which would not class above ordinary under any other known process of cleaning, at least middling or strict middling, giving even and reliable grades free from hulls, leaves, sand, dirt and decayed or immature cotton. This is a great advantage, which the practical spinner will fully appreci? ate, as he knows the impossibility of freeing the lint cotton from foreign and deleterious substances, especially leaf and finely broken hulls, after it has become broken up and incor? porated with the lint, as it always does in the process of ginning unless it is previously re? moved, and this, with the present scarcity of hand labor, is impossible except it is done by machinery. There is no machinery which will remove this foreign matter from the lint cotton after it is ginned; it must be done before, which work this machinery was invented to do, and does to perfection. The new machinery consists of a "cleaner," which removes all for? eign matter, leaving the seed only, with the fibre attached, and so distended as to be han? dled by the "gin," (which is also of a new and improved construction,) with much greater fa? cility, guarding the fibre entirely from the lia? bility of being broken or cut by the teeth of the gin, which has always been a serious defect in the old process of ginning. The machines all work automatically together; the cleaner delivering the cotton to the gin, by feeding it upon an endless apron to the "self-feeding au? tomatic gin feeder," which supplies the cotton to the gin withjthe most perfect regularity, en? abling the gin to increase its work at least fifty per cent. This worderful improvement in pre? paring cotton for the manufacturer is not only of great interest to the manufacturer in giving him a cleaner and more reliable uniformity of unbroken fibre, but it is of equal importance to the planter, also in enabling him to secure his whole crop, which he is unable to do from the great and increasing scarcity of hand labor. By the use of this new and improved machinery he can avail himself of good weather and pro? per time to secure his crop hurriedly as it may be picked, hulls and all if desirable, and lie can then safely depend upon*the cleaner to separate all foreign substances from the fibre, at his leisure, ana in connection with the-im? proved gin, he can produce a much higher grade of lint cotton, with a much greater mar? ket value, than can be done under any other known process. If the machinery was now in general use in the cotton growing districts of the South, the increased value it would give to the cotton crop, by saving in waste of the raw material and in the increase in value of the whole amount of that sent to market, is esti? mated at from fifty to one hundred millions of dollars annually.?Providence (E. I.) Journal. w Public Deet op the Southern* States.? The Debts of the Southern States are summa? rized in the following: In Virginia Governor Walker states that the public debt amounts to $26,000,000. This is one-third less than the amount previously stated, that portion having been shifted to West Virginia, which we be? lieve will not assume the responsibility of it. In October last the debt of North Carolina was stated at $29,900,045. The debt of Tennessee in January last was reported at $20,006,3S2, it having been announced at about $32,000,000 the previous year. The difference was in rail? road bonds that have been liquidated. In South Carolina considerable difference of opin? ion exists as to what the State debt really is, but the largest amount reported is that by the committee of Congress on Southern affairs, in .which the minority report gave it at $29,15S, 914. Georgia's debt on January 1 was $15, 961,500, with a liability to be increased if cer? tain projected railways should be constructed. Florida, with a similar liability, has a debt of $5,512,269. Mississippi, on January 1, 1871, reported a debt of $1,145,726. Arkansas, add? ing to the bonded debt all prospective and con? tingent liabilities, has a total of $14,390,000, according to the report of the Congressional committee. In Louisiana in January 1, 1S73, the debt was reported at $21,S01,800. In Texas the $bt was $3,830,237 on September 1, last year.. The total of these debts is a little more than one hundred and eighty millions of dol? lars. At the close of the war, in 1805, these eleven States owed about one hundred and thirty millions. How to Cure a Cold.?If a cold settles on the outer covering of the lungs it becomes pneumonia, inflammation of the lungs, or lung fever, and in many cases carries off the strong? est man to the grave within a week. If cold falls upon the inner covering of the lungs it is pleurisy, with its knife-like pains and its slow, very slow recoveries. If a cold settle* in the joints there is rheumatism of the heart, which, in an instant, sometimes snaps asunder the cords of life with no friendly warning. It is of the utmost practical importance, then, in the wintry weather, to know not so much how to cure a cold as to avoid it. Cold always comes from one cause?some part of the body being colder than natural for a time. If a per? son will keep his feet warm, always, and never allow himself or herself to be chilled, he or she will never take cold in a lifetime; and this can only be accomplished by due care in warm clothing and avoidance of drafts and exposure. While multitudes of colds come from cold feet, perhaps the majority arise from cooling off too quickly after becoming a little warmer than is natural, from exercise and work, or from con? finement to a warm department. Singular Attachment to a Rock.?The Athens Northeast Georgian notes the prevalence of a report in that city, that on Sunday before last a" man living near Scull's Shoals, about twenty miles below Athens, went fishing, seat? ing himself on a rock. Not returning home at night, search was made for him, and he was found'seated upon the rock, and upon the par? ty requesting him to get up and accompany them home, he told them that the Almighty had sent a judgment upon him, and he had be? come a part ot the rock and could not move. His friends, thinking that he was only jesting, took hold of him and attempted to move him, when he commenced screaming at the top of his voice, and asked them, for God's sake not to attempt to lift him up, as it would murder him. He further informed them that he had been informed, by an unseen presence, that, as a judgment for his profanity and Sabbath break? ing, he would never be severed from his present seat, but would remain fastened to it all his days, and that he would be made to preach his own funeral. They say he talks quite freely, and is visited by immense crowds. ? We love to commend successful industry in young people, especially when they are faithful lo their poor old parents. There is a girl in Oakland, Cal.,who, by patient industry, a quick eye and a nimble hand, has not only supported her aged mother, but accumulated a nice little property of $1,000 or so, consisting of jewelry and other small valuables that could he handily carried olf from the different places in which she had been employed as a domestic ? The cost to the country of recent fires, without counting the great conflagration of Chicago and Boston, has been more than enough to provide every city in the nation with a sufficient and efficient fire department. Beforo anything more is given up to the flames, it would be well for every community to con? sider whether its means for extinguishing fires arc what they should be. All Sorts of Paragraphs. ?

There is no necessity whatsoever for this pain. The new method is to keep the pa? tient ten or fifteen days in a bed or on a sofa with a bread or meal poultice applied to the toe. This poultice is changed several times daily, and the toe is bathed twice a day in wa? ter as warm as may be borne. In ten or fifteen I days the nail becomes so soft it may be cut with scissors and removed by hand without the i least pain. ? A gentleman, soliciting funds for a benev I olent object, once called upod one of those men who always have a back door of escape from a collector. Before he had fairly entered the room, the man called out: "I can do nothing for you ; you are the seventh this morning; I cannot give you anything." He would not al? low him even to state the case. Tlfe good old solicitor was so amazed that he gave the retort courteous : "Well, sir, if you did not give more to the other six than you give me, seven more may call and you will be no poorer." < Resources op the Empire State.?Geor? gia has a very judicious law, which instructs her tax gatherers, at intervals, to collect statis? tics of the resources of the State. Returns from these collectors have been compiled for the present year, the statistics of the entire State being reported, excepting from twelve of the smaller counties. It appears that this year 1,702,169 acres were planted in cotton, and 1,791,468 acres in corn, showing a difference in favor of the latter, and that the people of Georgia, at least, have heeded the counsel to grow their own corn. There were, besides, over one million acres planted in other food crops, and their result is regarded by the Georgia papers as giving the assurance that the people of the State, for the next twelve? month, at least, will not have to look abroad for their food supply. The Georgians also have nearly a million and three-quarters head of cattle, sheep and hogs, insuring an ample sup? ply of meat and daily products. The indus? trial resources of the State are growing, there being twenty-five cotton factories, five woollen factories, and ten iron furnaces.
