"Thijs . is a most oinforlunate state ofj 'affairs, but both arc equally to iblamc:, l'the one for not showing a true nature, the other for not fqUy understanding it, before marriage.

Of nil things most likely to ruin a woman's life, a drunken husband is the worst. I am not'going into a dissertation on this Aubject,A. A)l Tuayc to say is, "Girls, never marry a man who drinks, if you value J^our1 happiness."

Another thing, if you don't like to bacco, never marry a man who smokes and chews, for I know a wo man whoso husband made her life a terror to jier by these disgusting practices.' I'don't intend givpjg you any fig ures about this housekeeping business, for people's tastes differ. Some would be conb2i)t -to live in a twelve dollar house, and keep a splendid tnble ; others would .prefer a twenty' dollar bouse, and live on plainer food. T/iere is no trouble about a man and* 'wife living very comfortably on one thousand dollurs a year, if the wife has any practical cense. A fool or a sloven can't dolt. "How is a man going to find such a woman out?" I hear some readers exclaim, "Very easily." The fool wijl ijetray herself by Ler nonsensical replies to any sensible questions on Ibis subject lliat you may ask bcr, and the tjlavcn will exhibit her imperfections in her toilet. A sloven's hair is never tidy> or well combed; neither wjll she brush her'teeth carefully.

To settle a spat that came of hot blood, General 8am. Houston, then a member of Congress from Tennessee, and General White, uf Nashville, agreed that on "Sep tember 23, 182$," .they would "fight a duel on the Tennessee Juie; time, Bunrise ; distance, fifteen feet; weap-, ons, holstor pistols." Houston got! out of bed at 3.40 g., on the 23d, and, sitting in' his night clothes, moulded tvTo bullets. As the first fell from the mould a dog named .Ml l|l ? General ?}ucK8on raised a triumphant howl under the window. When the second "bullet dropped a game cock crowed long and loud from a neigh boring tree. Houston, who was su perstitious, cut'the figure of a dog on One bullet' and that of a cock on Lhe other. The principals stood at their posts on the second and to the InbV White's lead cut a whis tje through the sharp air, hut Hous ton stood unhurt. At the sumo in-' slant the bullet with the dog mark, passed clean through White's oody, so that a silk handkerchief was drawn I '* * ktk from one side to the other. After the duel Houston selected as his coat bf-arms the famous "chicken cock and dog." ? \_I ,,t_ An ^j), order) Reader. In a Dubuque (Iowa) church, be fore the opening of the Sunday morn ing service.", a man in a front pew pulled a paper from his pocket and began to read. He became so wholly absorbed that he did not observe the preacher when ho rose to read the biblical lesson, nor did he luaar the loud and eloquent prayer that was afterwards offered. From page to page of the paper the redder glanced, rustling 'the crisp sheet in his bauds until every* eye in the church was at tracted toward him. Tho preacher was embarrassed and "the congrcga jtfoncd smiled and scrowled', accord ing as they thought tho matter funny or sad. finally the choir struck up the hyuiiv'Givo car, ye sinner, lo the call,' and the absorbed reader drop ped his paper end gave heed. Trust a Hoy, During tho session of the lute Epis copal Convention ih'Bostoii, the Bisli op "qf Louisiana in crossing the.com mon, mot a boy whose face he'fancied, and, eallingihim, asked if he had any thing to do just then, to which he said : "No." "Are you a good boy?" The little fellow scratched his head and replied : "I am not a very gbod boy. I cuss sbtnetimetfj" That can did answer inspired tho Bishop with confidence, and then said,; after giv ing his name and addressi\ "I wani you to go to, a .certain place und get a bundle for me, and bring it to my hotel, Tjlieje jm)l be a .charge of ??, here' iSjthe vn^p(nqyfto pay for it, and Inilf a dollar which youjmuy keep for doing the eirancL" On his return the Bishop's' frien,do laughed at him for his credulity, tell ing him that he would never see die boy or the bundle or the,money again, but in half hour the young chap returned bringing the bundle, and a receipted bill for 88.50, the Bishop having made a slight mistake as to the amount due. "How did you man age to pay the extra half dollai ?'' be inquired. -"I took the money you gave jne for the job. 1 knew that you would muke it all right." And ."all right" it was made, and I have no doubt the confidence that was reposed in that boy, because of \\\p truthfulness, will do him good as long as he lives. Sad Prenicamoat.

K'' Josh Billings on Marriage. By aw! xrcancs Jot, get married, if you have a fair show. Don't stand shivering on the bank, but pitch rite in and stick your head under and the shiver is over. Thar ain't any more trick in getting married than lhare is in eating peanuts. Many a man has stood shivering on the shore until the river run out. Don't expect to marry an angel; they have been all picked up long ago. Remember, Joe, you ain't a saint yourself. Do not marry for beuty exclusively ; beuty is like ice, awful slippery, and thaws dredful easy. Don't marry lor luv, neither ; luv is like a cooking stove, good for nothing when the fuel gives out. But let the mixture be some beuty becom ingly dressed, with about 8250 in her pocket, a good speller, handy and neat in her house, plenty of good sense, toff constitution and by-laws, small feet, a light step ; add to this sound teeth and a warm heart, The mixture will keep in any climate and will not evaporate.

Tho editor of the Southern Herald [and State Builder, who visited our section sometime ago, writes as foh lows concerning our country: ' We have taken pains1 to examine Oraugeburg, whiob i?jj a splendid country.

They speak of building cot ton factories ; putting ^fe.j.niboato on iheir^iuc .Kdi^to river; and doing many other things of progress. There resides a Northern gentleman, Mr. H.

Mr. Riggs has lived in Orangeburg many years, and says i,l; is a very healthful and fine climate. Branchvillc, the other^town we visited, is eighteen mills further south in Oiongelmrg co?rrw. It is at the junction of the Columbia and Augusta branches of the South Caro lina Railroad. This place wire once regarded as an unhealtbfqt^l iidtofan.; -but airhqc,thut ^place ?lTs been more thoroughly drained, it is as about us healthy as Aikeq. It is a splendid wite for a large town. We invited a few of the business gentlemen to bearue lecture on the Slate building theme one ^lei noon ; and they invi ted us to repeat the lecture before a larger auditory of their citizens at uight, which we did.

Mcx Lyman, n prairio secut, who lived at the White River agency a year and a half and knew the Meckera inti mately, tells this story to a reporter of | the Dubuque Times: Ouray was in love with the eldest daughter of!

I was there when the jyomen were brought back, and Ouray was so hap py that he rushed up to the Meekct girl and shoo!: her band for an hour. He tried hard to stop her frorn weep ing, but said, "Ouray you knew tjjat this trouble was coming all tho time, and I can never forgive you."
