King Georgo IV , In 1785, at twenty-three

he secretly married her. The union was

Age act of 1772, whioh prohibited the
formation of any matrimonial alliance by
a member of the royal family without the
re:gning monarch's consent- Yet no human
statute could morally nullify a
marriage to which there were no other
obstacles. Mrs. Fitzherbort was a lady of

entering upon this connection .George run

ugly statute, which declared that marriago
of the heir to the throne with a ^nm?n
Catholic, would operate a8 a forfeiture
of his right to the succession. Mrs. Fitzheibert
was a Catholic.; hence the necessity
of keeping the real condition of affairs from
the public. It is true that the lawyers

with far more rapidity than was agreeable.
Tlte King was appealed to for relief.'?
This he could afford only by asking Parlianent
for an appropriation, and he refused
to do so unless to the princ? would promise
to marry and lead a reputable domestic
life. The alternative was a hard one, but
sol6?hn?88 conquered princple, the condition
was complied with.
Parliament haJ something to say on the
subject of the prince's debts as well as hi* fa

legislators grumbled. It was a good thing

had not already one wife, and there
were ugly minora that such waa his isilUBtion.
It was not wholly certain, however,
that such wan the caBe, and ao some hold
rfipre9ontative of the people raised thedircot
question in the Houae of Commona. The
*-ene was an exciting one, and all awaited
its anawer with intense interat. We have
said that the truth wat not entirely certain
but it waa pretty generally suspected.?
The Honorable Charles James Fox, the
Prince'scho9en friend, was nerert^ileis ready
for the emergency. He arose in his seat
and flatly contradicted the rumor that his
Roy.il Highness had a wife. This w*9
vnQiciunt for the loyal Commons; the
appropriation was made and the debts
paid.
The Prince whs again solvent., but Lis
trouble* were just beginning. The bride
selected for him was his couBin, Caroline
of Brunswick, a giddy, awkward and
indiscreet, though well itntentiojied German
girl. Her carelessness in dress, free and
boisterous manners, and in short her
whole character totally unfitted her for
harmonizing with the jaded and fastidious
libertine who was to become her husband.
Baron, afterward Jfarl Malmesbury; a
paragon of stiffness and etiquette, was sent
over to Brunswick to escort the betrothed
Princess to England, the marriage ceremony
not taking place u/?tU after her arrival.?
The envoy, judging from the account* in
his journals, appears to have done bis best
to give Caroline good counsel, but his advice
was as primly offered as it could have
been by any maiden lady of fifty. lie
even suggested to her that she should
wear cleaner ekirts 1 IJis lectures were of
very little benefit to thejr jnercurial subject.
On reaching Windsor the "happy bridegroom"
was found laboring under the effects
of too copious libations, and, after
kiMing bis intended, according to court
fashion, with *n expression of disgust, at
once called for a glass of brandy. There
are not wanting stories that later in the
eronin^. when the nuptials bad taken place
he was brutally intoxicated. However this
may have been, the ill omen that accoropa
nied the4jretmeeting of the peif speedily
devtfdped into misery. It issaid that one
of the titled deipirep*, by ^*hom the
Prinoe was surrounded, successfully plotted
to increase his dislike for his wife. It

his last. Called by his flatterers the "First
Gontlemen in Europe," he probably died
without leaviug a fiiend behind.
His true wife, Mrs. Filz.herbert, who had
spent her closing decade at her quiet residence
in Brighton, purvived him seven
years. She was beloved and respected by
all, and not least by 'her husband's relations.
She will ajwnys be regarded as tho
true wife of George IV., a despotic regulation
to the contrary notwilhstanding.?
Had the wild, hut not thoroughly demoralized
Prince of Wale* possessed tho man

of meanly concealing an honorable con nection,

PR. HALL ON FAILING EYESIGHT.
When the Bight is beginniug to fail, the
eyes should be favored as much as possible.
This can be done?
1. By sitting in such a position as will
allow the light to fall upon the page or
sewing, obliquely over the shoulder.
2. By not using the eyes for such purposes
by any artificial light, or bolure sunrise
or alter sunBet.
S. By avoiding the special use of the
eyes in the morning before breakfast.
4. By resting them for half a minute or
so, while sewing, or looking at small ob
jects, by looking at thing* at a distance or
in the rky, relief is immediate in bo do*
ing.
5. Never pirk any collected mutter from
the eye!ash?s or corners of the ryos with
the fingernails ; rather moisten it with the
saliva, and rub it away with the ball of the
finger.
G. Frequently pass the balls of the fingers
over the closed eyelids towards the
nose; this carries off au excess of water
into the nofe itself by meam of the little
canal which leads into the nostrils from
each inner corner of the eye, which canal
tends to close up, in consequence of the
lightest inflammation. which attend weak.
nesa of the eves.
7. Keep the feet always dry and warm,
so as to keep an excels of blood from the
other end of the body.
8. Use eye glasses at first, carried in the
ve9t pocket, attached to a guard, for they
are instantly adjusted to the eye with very I
little trouble ; whereas, if oommon spectacles
are used, such a process is required
to get them ready, that to save the trouble
the eyes are often strained to answer the
purpose.
9. Wash the eyes abundantly every
morning. If cold water be used let it be
flapped against the clored eye with tbe fingers
of the light hand, not striking bard*
against tbe bail of the eye. But it would
seem a better plau to open tbe eyes in pure
blood warm water, because warm water is
more penetrating than cold; it dissolves,
more readily any bardeoed matter that
may be about the lids, and is more soothing
and more natural.
10. The moment the eyes feel tired, the
very moment you are conscious of an effort
to read or sew, lay aside the book or needle,
and take a walk for an hour, or employ
yourself in some aotivo exercise not requiring
the cloee use of the eyes.?MalVt

WEU0DINU TOURS.
By way of variation, and for the purpose
of bre&kiug the monotony which ho* grown
out of oft repeated discussions of Reconstruction
Reports, Tax and-Bureau Bills,
Bankrupt .Laws and Constitutional Amendments,
we prosent herewith an article
on "wedding tours,', which being well
written by some Jenkius, will be read
with interest by all, or at least a very
large class :
Travelers and conductors, saya the
Philadelphia Ledger, are beginning to
notice on the railroads a more than usual
number of spring and summer wedding
tourists. Ready money is abundant, and to
just that soit of amount thai few men in
these days can find Buy more useful or
nrnfituKIn
i? ....vomit-in ui u man ill getting
inniT.od. Those bachelors, old and young
who have made their fortunes within the
last three yenrs in oil or railroad Blocks,
or war coutract?, find this n convenient
reason formating a few months, taking a
wife and making a marriage tour to
Europe, spreading themaeves in Paris, and
doing the GSreat Exiliition, Italy, Great,
j Britain, and the l eil of the world in half a
' year.
Those tourist* get out of si^hl of the
American world, and are not worth our
notice here, for, with them all is conventional
and regulated simply l>y one consideration?the
amount of money they have
to tpend. Jenkins arranges it all and
publishes it in the newspapers.
13nt I hero is another far more intorestinc ;
and umiophtisialed class who daily catch j
tlio cyo of the conductor, and are recognized
by him and all old travelers ou rail- ;
ronds aud steamers at a glance?the bridegrooms
and their brides who travel by
themselves a few hundred miles on their
tours, followed to tho cara by weeping, yet
happy, bald headed fathers. On nil the
routes lending to and from Niagara they
are to be seen.
They have private suits of rooms preengaged
at nil the stopping place*, and j
have evidently the idea that they huvo so I
arranged mutters that they arc not and
cannot be known bb bridul touiists. Thin
in not that they are ahhnmeu of each other
hut simply that their enjoyment is in each
others Rocietynnd they do not want to bo criticiiod
and remarked upon by profane strangers.
So tliev fancy they aro travoling
incog. And yet how easy it in to the careful
ej e to tell how many days or even
hours the}- have I'Gfiu married, bv the
very pains they take to ueein oilhor like
old married (o'.ks or cou-ina an thry pro- !

fashionable belle lust winter, and drove out
in ftucli splendid Ratine and t-ilks to do her
shopping, is now positively more like n
Quaker in a simple traveling dress of mouse
or dr?h rolor. Often the young culprits
pretend for n while to be piaying at lovers
or flirtation, but it will not do. There is
too much quiet happiness in their eyes for
ppnrkle and wit. and repartee; too much
ai^ftness and tenderness in their confidential
v\bi<perR, and such a sense of possession of

ed for five minute*.
Generally the bridegroom discovera this
firnt, and thrown his arin easily round the
shoulders of his wife, as to My defiantly to
the cnrioiH, "You cannot tell but what we
have been married ihese many years."
Not tell ? There is a sort of guiltiness and
slyness in the way that arm steals round,
firat on top of the seat back, then gradually
closer, and a silent, pleased, unperoeiv*
ing acquiescence ou the part, of tlio bride.
Indeed, it is she who tells the tale most
quickly. The broad guage seats are too
broad. She seems to prefer the narrower
Penneyvania measure; and if you sit on
any seat back of them, it may be noticed
that the lady's shoulders are not even?the
incline just a little, and unperceivedly,
while she is sitting uprightly, to her broad
soat and bearded partner. For a few
hours thus they travel, but in tho long
run, tbe bend gravitate?, to the husband's
supporting shoulder, and there it will
nestle with honest, truthful love.
Sometimes in spite of all precautions, a
trets or two of rich black hair will get
loose, and stray and fall down. But that
bride's tresses are so exquisitely silky and
oorabed, and polished, that there is
order and neatness in their very disorder
and abandon. It is, in fact, the
oonfusion of the high and virtuous self-res*
peot and honest pride of* the maiden step^
ping out into a new faitb. And these young
folks fanoy themselves loot inthe crowd?unnoticed,
unknown, and with the secret that
they are but just married. Blessed innooents!
Bat even those who discover them
mu?t wish them God speed in their new
path, which may lead to happiness or tor*
rpw, as they start right or begin wrong.
An old bachelor, who is afraid of the
expense of marriage, might find it advantageous
to ooosider whether it isn't lesa expensive
to maintain a brood of ehMdreti
i than a brood of viaes.

COLORS, A3 APPLIED TO DHE93.
Few people give theinttdve* the trouble
to understand the rules of color. They
consider them as belonging to an abstruse.
The principle, which are supposed to bo
too much wrapped in my story ?o bo
worth tho trouble of acquiring by anv but
professional persons, nro those comprehended
in the laws of contrast of color and contrast
of tone.
First, as regards contrast of color. There
are three primary colors?rod, blue, and
yellow. From those every other color is
formed, nnd each has its perfect harmonv
in its contracting or complcmentaty color.
The complementary of each simple color is
formed hy the union of the other two (and |
i* therefore called the 6e?'ondiry,) that is, i
green being the tnixnreof blue and yellow, j
in complementary to red; violet, taing j
formed of red and blue, is complementary |
to yellow ; and orange, a compound of red j
aim yellow, to blue.
Each of iheso color.', when place.1 near !
its complementary, intensifies its eUeot.
Green causes red to appear redder, blue
mills a brighter Lint to orange, and vellow
enhances the color of violet. In oilier
words, every color looks itB purest and best
when it is beside its complcmcnary.
I5y means of this simple law of contrast,
therefore, we have the power of imparting
any tint that we choose to the complexion,
and of rendering our costume agreeable to
the eye by the har-nony produced by properly
contrasted colors; and we may learn to {
avoid increasing the undesirable tints of |
a sallow complexion by the juxtaposition
of blue or violet, or rendering ? florid
complexion still more high-colored by contrasting
it with green. On the other hand j
ladies with golden hair and clear complexions
will see that they should wear blue in
perference to any other color, hamonizing
agreeably, as it does, with the former, with,
out exercising any ill effect on the latter ;
while those upon whom nature has bestowed
dark hair and a rosy complexion shoulder
consider green as their especial color.
Very daik people may wear extremely
light brown, gray or slate color with icupun
ity; but those who have light complexions
nnd light brown hair should only venture
upon pure white and the light tones of
the three primaries, bearing in mind that,
wherever there is agreeable contrasts there
is agreeable harmony.? The Boudoir.
Don't Db a Loafer.?Y<ung man pny
attention* Don't be a loafei'a company;
do't bang about loafing places. Better
work than sit around day after day, or
stand about corners with your bauds in
your pockets. Bettor for your own health
?belter fur your own-prospects. Bustle
about, if you mean to have anything to
bustle about for. Many a poor physician
has obtained a real patient by riding after
an imaginary one. A quire of b|ank paper
tied with red tape cftrried under a lawyer's
arm, may prooure him bis first case, and ]
make his fortune. Such is the world; to
him that hath shall be given. Quit dreaming
and oomplaining; keep busy and mind

HIOU PRICES AUKAD.

are unfavorable to the presumption thf?t
there will be any reduction in the priceB
either of com mod i ties or coin. The prophesies
of persons who posnoss peculiar facilities
for arriving at a pretty correct esti

puiul moaL decidedly to their enhancement.
Tho coming crops of both our groat agricultural
products?breadstuHi and cottou?
will be far below tho avonge. As we noticed
a day or two ago, it ia the opinion
of Mr. W. 13. Langley, of Ohio, who has
taken great pams to investigate the matter,
that tho grain crop will not exceed onethird
the average of former years and he predicts
that wo sball have tho highest prices
of broadaiutTi and many other products of
the soil nnJ necessaries of lipe, for one or
two year*, that wo have soon. The cotton
crop has also eulTtfred very severely during
j the spring, and tho present anticipations
| are that the produce will not be moro than
a million and a quarter bale*, or less than
one fourth the product of the croo of
? f
1859.
It is, therefore, eviilont that we shall
have no grain that wo can spare for expor
tation, nm] that our exports of cotton must
be but limitoJ. It is not al all uncertain
but that of tho former we may have to become
importer*, if tlie wants of the people
are to bo fully supplied; for there will bo
uo old !<lock to fall back upon, as, according
to Mr. Langley'a statement, the atoek
of wheat and Hour in the country ia, at the
present tiiue, so nearly exhausted that it
cannot Inst longer than if so long as tho
arrival of tho time when uew wheat will
be brought into the market.
The short supply will not only raise the
prices of both the products, but tho eftect

export!", caused by the failure in production,
will be lo raise prices generally. Importations
of foreign merchandise will continun,
and though probably it will not be of sufficient
an amount to cause a heavy draiu
upon our 6upplie9 of specie aud the
precious metals. The foreign merchant
will require an equivalent for the goods he
sends us, and if wo oaD iot pay him in
kind, we must do so in coin. It is inevitable,
then, that gold will be required for
this purpose, and the demand for it bids
fair to bo groater than is generally admitted.
It is fallacious to snpposo that the European
war will tond to any large quantity
of spccio being Rent to litis country for in-1
vcstinont in our securities Should hostil- j
iLies bocome general througliout Germany, ;
it is more than probable that many of our :
five-twenties, which have been purchased
by the (ienn.-.ns, will find their way back
to the Unitfcd Slates. As our owu people
loo well know, the tramp of armies is not
l>ene(icial to the production of the necessaries
of life. Germany will have to pur.
chase theae abroad wherewith to f?ed her
army and her people. She will have to
pay in gold, for foreigners will not take
her paper securities. Our own short supply
of graiu will preclude! us from sending
her any; and consequently we may expect
that she will sond to us for gold in exchange
for the United States securities
which she holds. But some persona may I
R.?k: "Will the German people part with
those securities fur the purpose of investing
the proceeds in the obligations of their
own Governments. And tliui supply them
with the specie they will need ?'' We all 1
know that when a country ia at war the pa- 1
triotism of its people generally tends to
such a roRult. Such was the effect, both
North and South, during our late struggle,
and there is no reason to bslieve that the
Germans will not by a like patriotio impulse.
Everything, then, points to an advance
in prices. The prospects of the future are
certainly gloomy, but there is no crood in
shutting our eyes to tliem. We must prepare
to meet the hard times when they arrive.
Another year will have to roll rouud
before we can hope to view a brighter picture,
and to do so then we must experience
a more genial season than haa been allotted
to us in the present year.?iV. Y. News.
Paper Collars.?We saw it Btated in
a Boston paper, n few days ago, that a
young man in that city was suffering
"muchly" from pustules on his neck. The
young man consulted a physician, who at
once attributed them to paper collars, which
are now habitually worn. Upon inquiring
among bit fellow clerks, the afflioted man
discovered that five or six of them were
troubled with the same eruption. The
last number of the "Round Table" makes
this inoident the occasion of a warm protest
against paper collars, saying that arsenic
is used in the process of enameling
tbem, and it is a deadly poison, however it
may find its way into the system, whether
by absorption from contaot with the akin
or otherwise.
Whether or not the position taken by
the "Bound Table" be oorreot, we
not yeotare to say. We present the eubJeot
as being fraught with interiMt.

EARLY BREAKFAST.
Ureakfast should ba oaten in the morning,
before leaving tbe bouse for labor of
any description; those who will tlo it will
be able to perform more work, and with
greater comfort aud alacrity than thou*
who work an hour or two before breakfast.
'Besides this, the average duration of
the life of those who take exercise or work
will be a uumbef of years greater than
those who do otherwise. Most persons bogin
to feel weak after having been eugaged
five or six hours in their ordinary avocation;

If early breakfast was talc en in regions
where chill and fever, and fever and ague
prevail, if in addition, a brisk fire were
kindled in the family room, for the hour
including sunset and sunrise, these troublesome
maladies would diimiaish in any
one year not ten fold, but a thousand U>1<A,
because the heat of the fire would rarity
the miasmatic air instantly, and Bend it
nhore the breathing point. But it id "troublesome"
to be buildiug fires night and

?We have repeatedly had occasion to
refer to the mischievous workings of the
Freodmen's Bureau in the Southern Statep.
Wo hare now to mention an instance to
the credit of the establishment coming
from an unexpected quarter and arising
from an unexpected cau*e. It seems that
while tho system works wretchedly in Virginia
and North and South Caroliua, in the
State of Georgia it 13 not open to the same
censure. What is the reason for this!
The answer is that while the whole concern
is fraught with danger and Bocial evils to
the South, its miserable workings are na
much attributable to the corrupt subordinate
agents who control its nffVim ao
w VV IUU
bad tetdencies of the system itself. la
the first three named States the snbordinates
of the Bureau are mostly from the
New England States, persons who have
gone into the business for purely money
making purposes; purposes as the running
of plantations on their own account, thehiring
out of negroes to labor at their
standard of premium, the levying of fiines
and fees as special magistrates, <fec. -But
in Georgia we find that the affairs of Lha
Bureau are conducted by persons who are
native bom, who know the character of the
negro and are better qualified to aupply his
wants and contribute to hit health and comfort
than all the mercenary and canting
negro worshippers and fanatics that can
be sent from New Eogland. A correapondent
informs us that out of three hundred
and fifty thousand freedmen in Georgir
only one thousand two hundred and twenty
three aro dependent upon fthe government
for support. The polic/ of the assistant
commissioner of the Bureau is carried out
under the laws and io conformity with the
usages of the State nqt oonflioting with
the de ign* of the government: The subAgents
