Indeed, within the next three months, will

and dishonest inaugurations of oppressive
measures for political agrandizenient, have
forced the American people to regard Con

men more a matter of history, than of pres

oppressed and outraged people turned to

for those who labor and are heavy burtb-
ened to flee from penury and taxes, to the
peaceful bosom of the country, and find in'
dependence and rest?
How is this to bo done? Form into vil
lages or colonies of from ten to one hun
dred families, after the model of Vineland,
New Jersey. This plan has many advan
tages. In the first place, it affords mutual
protection to life and property against
prowling thieves and vagabonds. Secondly,
it will admit of schoolhouses and churches,
the great essentials of Christianity and civ
ilization; the other concomitants—courts,
prisons, poor-houses—can be dispensed
with. This is a practical and important
snbject for the consideration of philanthro
pists and our people generally, and demands
an abler pen than mine, such as “ R. M.
O.” or “ Paul Pry,” to do it justice. I hope
thc subject may be taken up and that much
good may come of it.—Savannah News.
From the Microscope to the Woodl
pile.
The other day a Detroit father purchased
a microscope for his son, a boy of ten, patted
the lad on the shoulder and said to him :
“ My son, take this microscope, and go
out and study the beauties oi nature.”
The boy left all other amusements for
that, and he took such great interest and im
proved so rapidly, that at tbe tea table, to
which several visitors sat down with the
family, he felt that he must make some re
marks. Turning te one of the ladies, he ini>
quired:
“ Did you ever look at cheese through
microscope? - ’
“ I don’t think I ever did,” she pleasantly
replied.
“ Well, you just ought to see the things
crawl —-—’’
“John! Johnl” exclaimed the lather,
shaking his head at the boy across the table.
John subdued for a minute or two, and
when his mother passed the cheese around,
everybody said, “Thank you, no.” Pretty
soon the young student, desiring to molify his
father, asked:
“ Father, did you ever look at a toad
through a microscope?”
“I will talk with you after supper," re*
plied the parent scowling at the boy.
John was rather disappointed at bia fail*
ure to arouse enthusiasm, and just as the
strawberries were being passed around, he
remarked:
“ Well, you just ought to look at a straw,
berry once through a microscope! They
look just like warts, they do, and you think
you see bugs running—”
“ Jawn 1" said his mother.
“ Boy 1” warned his lather.
“ Well, they look wors’n flies’heads!” pro
tested the boy, who imagined tbat they doubt
ed his veracity, for flies ”
“Boy r said the father, making a mo
tion for John to leave the table.
John left, and as soon as it was conve*
nient for him to do so, the father escurted
the lad to tbe washroom in the basement;
bounced him around, and said:
“ My son, gimme that microscope, and
you take the axe and go out and study tho
beauties of that woodpile!”
If that boy continues to fed the way he
does at present, he will become a bank rob*
her instead of a naturalist.
Tbat is a whole speech in itself, crowded
into two sentences, uttered by Cassius M.
Clay to the New York Sun: “I am against
inflation, but still more against Grantism. J

people of both parties will commit that
speech to memory, and many vote* will be
cast to vindicate it

27ie Marrying Question.
Among the portentous maxims of old Ben
Franklin, that the original American philos*
loaopher devised between his hours of scien*
tific and political wprk, is that which advises
the young to marry ;,and other profound in*
spectors of the system of humanity have ven
tured to repear the same instruction, even in
the face of the Shaksperean saying that a
young man married is a man that is married.
Political economists, too, have not been idle,
and it has been demonstrated over and over
again that marriage promotes longevity, mor
ality and financial prosperity. Nature has
always seconded such notions of science and
philosophy. The love of home is an innate
quality oi the human heart, and we know
that while there may be a possible home
without a mother-in-law, there can be none
without a wife. * Re it ever so humble/ says
Papne’s touching lyric, * there is no place like
home,’ and this m substantiated by the affec-.
tkm whicbexirts between ti*S8HM9tul a*
the rich, and by the pain which follows an
enforced separation of families. The wisdom
of the Creator in giving Adam a companion
has always been recognized without tbe help
of theological distinctions, and unhappy
though many married pairs may be, we feel
a good deal more than is expressed even in
the words of Holy Writ, that a true wife is
not simply a ‘ help’ bnt a port of the man
himself, a restored ‘rib,’ without which he
makes through the world a disjointed and
crab-like progression.
Of late years we hear marriages discussed
from so purely utilitarian a point of view as
to be seriously* alarming, and the heavier bur
then is laid upon the shoulders of the weaker
vassals’ that their extravagance stands in the
way of the marital obligations of the race;
that young men cannot afford to marry girls
who carry fortunes on their backs, and whose
main occupations are dressing and tattle.
Were we to listen to or read in confidence all
that is said derogatory to the future matrons
of unborn Americans, we should stand
aghast at tbe prospect which is thns presens
ted of our future Republic. We are over
whelmed with accounts of our Lillies and
Rosalies of Saratoga or the seaside; of their
fondness for mammoth trunks and daily
changes of attire, of drives and dinners, small
talk and novels, operas and soirees, and dis
sipation generally. According to this pic
ture, the girl3 are the most mvolous creas
tures in the world. Some of them may owe
their beauty to the beneficence of nature,
but if they are pretty they are either stupid
or vicious, and are most likely to unite both
the undersirable mental and qualities with a
positive physical plainness. It is somewhat
surprising how determined the female writers
from the watering places are in writing down
American female beauty and merit, and ar
guing that the young woman of society is not
fit for the condition of marriage and the sub
sequent family relations.
In a contemporary newspaper is a pathetic
arraignment of this kind against the Ameri
can maiden. We should, perhaps, take no
notice of it except that it presents a picture
of tbe model young American of the mascu
line gander who lights his lantern and goes
through the world hunting for a congenial
mate. This young man is, seemingly, a
paragon of perfection. He never parta his
hair in the middle, nor runs in debt to his
tailor; he smokes not, neither does he chew;
he is a punctual attendant upon church, and
doesn’t know the name of any horse that
ever ran a mile inside of 1:50. He puta all
his savings in the bank, has a cottage paid
for, supports his widowed mother,- never tas
ted alcohol, and abhors swearing. He is al
together one of the good, the true and the
beautiful, with capitals for each adjective.
He wants a wife who shall stead upon the
same comparative plane ai»d be despairs of
finding such a one. His estimate It m little
too high for average human natire, and
probably rather above his own msdiam if he
could strike it correctly.
The girl of tbe period does not, however,
lack a defender. The comphunant was quick
ly and sharply answered by a correspondent,
who, among other things, said that ‘ the av
erage American girl of to-day is not the fast
and giddy creature our bachelor friend de
scribes. Such pictures of true and sweet
maidenhood we trust are not rare as those
who care to seek them. Many a true heart
beats beneath a beaded cuirass* Hands that
have been in the flour often go info six-buts
toned gloves; and feet that have rocked the
cradle sometimes lead to mazes of tbe Gers
man.’ There is wisdom in this quotation,
and its point is that there is something uns
natural and not commendable iu tbe woman
who, before she has made considerable prog
ress toward tbe half century, cares nothing
for graceful dressing, pleasant company, the
theatre and the opera. A young girl takes
as naturally to a pretty dren as ster does to
flowers and music, and te debar her from
such pleasures after marriage is simply to
make her prematurely old. What vanity
there is in this line is pardonable. It comes
from the love of beauty and harmony, and
in many cases it will be found that the liking
for a fashionable appearance is gratified at a
small expense. Some of these visions of
feminine beauty which parade the streets
and seem to have exhausted hundreds of dol
lars in their getting-up, have really not re
quired as many as ten. Many of the articles
worn by ladies, though pretty, are expensive,
and no bachelor will ever know how much a
clever woman can do with a five dollar bill.
To bring all that we have said to bear upon
the matrimonial question, we may add tkat a
man of good judgment can always find a girl
who wilT help aud not hinder him iu life;
who will make him a pleasant home and
share all his troubles with him; and, more
over, that tbe average of true love and confi
dence is as high in the ultra fashionable
classes of society as in any other.
