LOCAL MATTERS.
Marrying for Show—To the question
iften asked of young men as to why they do
ot marry, wo somotimes hear the reply :
“I am not able to support a wife.” In one
caso in throe, perhaps this may be so; but,
is a general thing, tho true reply would be:
“I am not able to support tho style in which
[ think my wife ought to live.” In this,
again we seo a false view of marriage—a
looking to an appearance in the world, in
stead of union with a loving woman for her
own sake. There are very few men of in
dustrious habits who cannot maintain a
■wife, if they were willing to live economi
cally, and without reference to tho opinion
of the world. The great evil is, they are
not willing to begin life to retire
together into an obscure position, and to
gether work their way in tho world—he by
industry in his calling, and she by dispens
ing with prudence tho money that he earns.
But they must stand out, and attract the at
tention of others by fine houses and fine
clothes.
The Concert, To-Night.—Tho fare
well Concert of Mr. and Miss Geary, to bo
given it Concert Hall this evening, will, we
hope, boMt grand success. It certainly
should be. Besides the deserved reputation
of the artists, the programme is a most in
teresting one, tho selections being gems
from the composers, and illustrative of tho
songs of Ireland, Scotland, England, and
America. Mr. Couturier will also give a
couple of recitations—Robert Emmetts’
Speech, and Poe’s Raven, two fine selections
for tho display of the readers powers. Alto
gether, tho programme is an attractive one,
and it is to bo hoped that Concert Hall wil;
he filled with an appreciative audience.
Poor Fellow. —The Local Editor of
he Peoria, Ml., Transcript, who has just
lecn married, thus rejoices over his change
if state : “Ne more are wc doomed to room
n dark attics, illumined by the faiut odor
if stalo tobacco and adorned by bachelor
rionds, inobriated and miserable. No, sir;
re are now settled for life. Wo begin to
lave an interest in the markets, are curious
iver tho prico of beefsteak, are affected by
I rise in soup bones and potatoes. A pic
lire of life draws before us. We begin to
ancy ourselves sixty or seventy years
lencc, white-haired and venerable, slowly
lacing to Church, loading by tho hand an
nteresting family of six white-headed hoys
—infant Snookcs’ —who look up to us and
:alls us ‘Dad.’ With such a possible pros
pect who wouldn’t get married? And then
the joy of leading thoso six through the
measles, whooping cough, teething, rash,
tliptheria, and croup; buying them shoes,
pounding them when ugly, and trotting
thorn on our knee when they squall; seeing
them come homo drowned trorn skating,
and having thorn brought home blown up
by toy cannon on tho 4th ot July, formed a
picture of domestic bliss that we couldn’t
resist, and so we didn’t.”
It is not your dress, ladies, your ex'
i pensive shawl or golden lingers that attract
. the attention of men of sense; they look
beyond these. It is your character they
study. If y«u aro trifling and looso in your
conversation, no matter if you. arc as beau
tiful as an ungel, you liavc no attractions
for them. It is tho loveliness of your na
ture that wins, and continues to retain the
affections of the heart. Young ladies sadly
miss it who labor to improve their outward
looks, wkilo they bestow not a thought on
their minds. Fools may be won by gew
gaws, and fashionable showy dresses, but
the wise and substantial are never caught
by traps. Let modesty bo your dress. Use
pleasant and agreeablo language, aud
though you may not bo courted by tho fop,
the good and truly great may linger in your
steps. _____
