THE TIME TO MARRY.
Tbe would-be wise this counsel give—
"Let love’s foud passion cool! -
The man who early weds will live
To think himself a fool.
The galling chain that frets his limb,
Wears deeper day by day
Experience little teaches him
Who gives the heart away.
He wisely weds who weddetb late,
A thrifty, unimpassioned mate.”
When wrinkled oaks shall twining cling.
With tendrils like the viue;
When ravens like the linnet sing
With melody divine:
When honeyd drops from wither'd leaves,
And not from summer Sowers ;
Wbeu winter brings us golden shear cs,
And snow-drifts sunny hours;
When truth abused makes falsehood right,
Go. withering, wed ami find delight

never seriously temp ted to make a pro
posal but once, and that was to Frank’s
wife—before she was* married, do you
understand V
‘Oh,’ said I, growing interested, ‘and
why didn’t you ?’
You shall know. I was young and
romantic at that time—she was beauti
ful and accomplished. We were thrown
together in society and I was just
at the age to yield to her fascination.
Though I had never expressed my love
in words, I suppose that my looks betray
ed me, and I am quite sure that she was
aware of my feelings towards her. Our
family being something intimate, we
wore on the same footing, and she treated
rne. in much the same confidential man
ner as she would a favorite cousin.’
‘Doyou think,’I inquired, ‘that she
was in love with you ?’
‘No,’ said he, ‘I never thought that. I
presume, however, she would like to
have lured me on to declaration, and
then would have acted as fancy dictated.
One day when I had made a morning call
and was retiring, she told me she was a
going out a shopping and laughingly
proposed to me to go with her and carry
the bundles. Having nothing of im]K>r-
tance to take up my time, and not being
averse to the proposal, partly on account
of its novelty, and considerably, I rather
suspect, on accouut of tbe agreeable
charncter of the company I should have,
I consented in the same spirit and in
few minutes we were fa rly fn route.'
I have but little to buy,’ said my com
panion. ‘You may congratulate your
self upon that, as you will have the less
to carry.'

goods establishment.

For once she kept her word, and I
was released from my attendance. But
the thought that she had spent a hun

morning’s shopping, and on objects of
none of which, by her own confession,
she stood i.t need, coaid nothelp recur
ring to me, and I decided that until I
could find some more rapid way of mak

indulge. How far I am right, you may
judge by Frank Palmer’s failure. At
all events that is the reason why I didn't

MEANNESS DOES NOT PAY.
There is no greater mistake that a
business man can make than to be mean
in his business. Always taking the
half cent for the dollars he has made
and is making. Such a policy is very
much like the farmer who sows three
pecks of seed where he ought to have
sown five; and as u recompense for the
meanness of his soul, only gets ten when
he ought to huve got fifteen bushels of
grain.
Every body has heard of the proverb
of penny wise and pound foolish. * A
liberal expenditure in the way of busi
ness is always sure to be a capital invest
ment. There are people in the world
who are short sighted enough to believe
their interests can be best promoted by
grasping and clinging to all they can
get, aud never letting a cent slip through
tlieir fingers.
As a general thing it will be found,
other things being equal, that he who is
most liberal, is the most successful in
business Of course we do not mean it
to be inferred, that a man should be
prodigal in his expenditures ; if he is a
trader, or those whom he may be doing
any kind of business with, that in all his
transactions as well as social relalicns,
he acknowledges the everlasting fact
there can be no permanent prosperity
in a community where benefits are not
reciprocal.
THE RAINING TREE?.
The island of Fierro is one of the
most considerable of the Canaries, and I
conceive the name to be given it upon
this account—that, its soil not affording
so much as a drop of fresh water, seems
to be iron, and indeed there is in this
island neither river or rivulet, nor well
rior spring, save that only toward (he
seaside there are some wells, but they
lie at such a distance from the city that
the inhabitants can make^no use there
of. But the great Preserver and Sus-
tainer of all, remedies this inconveni
ence by a way so extraordinary that
man will be forced to sit down and ac
knowledge that he gives in this an un
deniable demonstration of his wonderful
goodness. For in the midst, there is
tree which is the only one of the kind
inasmuch as it has no resemblance to
any of those known to us in Europe.
The leaves of it are long and narrow
and continue in constant verdure, win
ter and summer, and its branches are
covered with a cloud, which is never
dispelled, but resolving into a moisture,
causes to fall from its leaves a very clear
water, and that in such abundance that
the cisterns which are placed at the
foot of the tree to receive it, are never
empty, but contain enough to supply
both man and beast.

Major Andrew Jackson Dotielann, the
American candidate for the Vice-Pt csi-
dency. Perhaps, with tho single excep
tion of Millard Fillmore,'there is notin
all the nation a man who has withstood
such powerful influences in proving his
truth and devlion to our glorious Un
ion as Mr. Dunelson. lie battlcd^3br
the Union against the masses of his
own party in Tennessee when such a
course seemed to involve his political
ruin :
Mr. Djnelson was a nephew of Gen.
Jack.on’s wife. lie named for the
General, anl was brought up in his
family. When Gen. Jack sou became
President in March, 1820, he made Mr,
Donelson his private secretary.
In 1844-’5 Mr. Donelson wtet minister
the republic of Texas, and through
him the negotiations and communica
tions which resu’-ted in the annexation
ofTexsjs to the United States were car-
tried on. Wltile yet in Texas lie was ap
pointed by President Polk in 1S45 min-
' er to Prussia—an office which ho held
until near the close of Polk’s adminis
tration. While minister to Prussia, ho
was,by President Polk, in 184S, appoint
ed a minister to the Federal Govern
ment of Germany, or Gorman Confed
eration, and for a time lie discharged
the duties of both offices. In the begin
ning of 1843 President Polk.transferred
him entirely to the mission to Germany.
Upon the incoming of Gen. Taylor’s
administration (March, 1849.) Mr. Don.
elson, although a Democrat, was not
immediately superseded, but continued
as minister to Germany until thc miskion
itself was abolished.
In 1850-51, when the secessionists
and disunionists of the South exhibited
heir mad spirit and dangerous designs
at the Nashville convention, Mr. Donel
son headed the Union anti Compromise
section of his party'in Tennessee: and
by his aid and the aid of many other
patriot*, this dangerous political^ heresy
was effectually “crushed out” in Ten
nessee.
When Mr. Ritchie—tho great Nestor
of the Democratic party-retired from
the editorship of the Washington Union,
the party selected Mr. Donelson as his
successor. He discharged the duties of
the position to the satisfaction of his
party, until the secession and free soil
appointments of President Pierce* made
it impossible for him to render tho ad
ministration a hearty support. He then
retired to private life. Wheulhe Amer
ican party arose, he recognised in it the
means of rescuing his country from the
dangers of foreignism • and sectional
broils which threatened it, nnd he at
once gave his heart and mwI to the good
cause. He has already done frequent
and great service in behalf of its nob5o
principles, and well desorvi-s its honors.
It may be seen from this statement
how much truth there is in the assertion,
%
that Mr. Donelson is, “distinguished
only from his distant relationship to
Gen. Jackson.”

tained the doctrines inculcated by our
greatest statesmen. President Pierce,
professing to follow in the footsteps of
Jackson, has placed himself in direct
antagonism to the leading sentiments of
that great man.
Jackson said that thc patronage of the
Federal Government ought not to be
brought to bear against the freedom of
elections, and that it was time we were
more Americanised. Mr. Pierce says
directly the contrary. He proscribes
from office large masses of his fellow cit

ostracised national men, in order to build
up the agitator; and no one can be sur
