II EH NOTION OF MARRIAGE.
The following reflections aro from
the charming pen of the lovely Mrs.
Grundy; wo commend them to the
meek consideration of heu-pecked hus
bands; also to the exquisite Charlos
Ralph Augustus Fitznootlle and his
“set,” namely, coxcombs and swells;
also to till American Girls, or any oth
er girls, who, like the two John Rus
kin saw bttwen Venice and Verona,
“ liavo succeeded in reducing them
selves to pieces of white putty that
can feel pain;" also we commend them
to all men and women ol spirit, hop
ing that they may read them night
and morning as long as they may
taborm.de upon the earth, in order
that they may becomo as patient us j
Job, and us gentle as Mary had a little j
lamb; finally, wo commend them to j
the Devil, whom we believe to have a \
“ Laborer’s uud Mechanic’s Lien ” up
on them for “ materials furnished and
labor performed:”
We are in our houses more than
half of our existence, and it is the
household surroundings which affect
most largely the happiness or misery
of life. I f the wife knows how to
“ keep house,” if she understands how j
to set a table, if she has learned bow j
things ought to be cooked, bow beds
should be made, how carpets should
be swept, how the furniture should be
dusted, how the clothing should bo
repaired, and turned and altered, and
renovated; if she knows how purchas
es can be made to the best advantage,
and understands the laying in of pro
visions, how to make them go farthest
and longest; if Bhe appreciates the im
portance of system, order, tidiness
and quiet management of children
and servants, then she knows how to
mako a little heaven of home, how to
win her children from the street, how
to keep her husband from the club
house, the gambling table and the
wine-cup.
How much the perfect knowledge
of these things bears upon the thrift,
tho comfort and the health of families
may bo conjectured, but not calculat
ed by figures. It would be an im
measurable advantage to mako a be
ginning by attaching a kitchen to ev
ery girls’ school in the nation, and
have lessons given daily in the prepa
ration of all the ordinary articles of
food and drink for tho table, and how
to purchase these in the market to the
best advantage, with the result of a
large saving of money, au increase of
comfort, and higher health iu every
family in the land.
Moreover, our orator further nhow
eth “that tho effect of knowledge is to
mako women pedantic and affected;”,
to which oug Sidney Smith hath made
answer: “ When learning ceases to be
uncommon among women, learned
women will cease to bo affected.” Let
us not be too severo upon Mrs. Grun
dy, but judge her according to the
light she has; for she still believes,
honestly, in tho monstrous absurdity
'* that the euro which a mother feels
for her child depend upon her igno
rance of Greek; and that she would
desert an infant for a quadratic equa
sion.” Again, “ nothing so honorable
to a woman as not to bo spoken of at
all;" “ woman tho glory of man;”
“ Heaven’s last, best gift to man.”
Oh, Noodledom! NooJledom! Noo
oo-00-00-dledom! Contemplate, for
a moment, O reader, their ridiculous
absurdity. You will feel like turning
a summerset.
Think of u man of ambition, of In
tellect, cultivated or uncultivated,
marryiug a woman “that has reduced
herself to a pieco of white putty that
cau feel pain,” or even a woman that
understands how to “keep house,”
that is, to make a bed, dust a carpet,
bake a loaf, drive a bargain with a
butcher in buying a mutton chop,
keep the children’s faces cleau, have
dinner on the table punctually, and
numerous other like things too tedious
to mention; nay, if so minded, you
may tako a regular business woman,
one that can stand in the kitchen
door aud kick a dog five hundred
yards! Then refieot upon this law,
which is as Used as fate: “If the wife
docs not push her husband forward,
she always holds him back.’’ Who
does not see that the inevitable con
clusion is this: That the husband will
soon cease to care for what the wife
does not care for; that the higher
faculties of his mind will soon, to all
intents and purposes, die; that those
faculties alone will develop and flour
ish which pertain to the common van
ities aud pecuniary objects? From
what has been said it is but one step
to the general conclusion, that the
highest pleasures which pertaiu to
marriage can be enjoyed only by per
sons of equal cultivation, and identi
cal opini >us and purposes.
It is the custom in Paris, when a
shop-keeper has either a marriage or
death iu his family, to put up the
shutters aud auuouuce the cause of
closing iu a few lines addressed to the
public, pasted on the door. In the
case of a death the photograph of the
deceased is generally nailed above the
paper notice. Within the last few
days the cartes of a bride aud bride
groom have been similarly exposed.
An Emperor’s Table.— The Emper
or of Germany is the most abstemious
of European monarchs. He takes
every day but two small meals. After
rising he takes a cup of coffee; at
noon some roast meat and potatoes,
with a glass of Bordeaux wine; aud at
seven in the evening a supper, con
sisting of bread, sausage, and a cup of
tea. Persons iuvited to the Imperial
table express their surprise at its ex
treme simplicity.
Art of Memory. —lhe best way to
remember a thing is thoroughly to un
derstand it, and often to recall it to
mind. By readiug continually with
great a.tention, anu never passing a
passage without understanding and
considering it well, the memory will be
stored with knowledge; and things
will occur at times when we want them
though we can never recollect the pas
sages or from whence wo draw our
deas. Dr. Irusler.
IIOR ACE G REELE Y’S IIIDE.
When Mr. Greeley was in California
ovations awaited him at every towD.
I He had written powerful leaders in
the Tribune iu favor of the Pacific
Railroad, which had greatly endeared
him to the citizens of the Golden
State. And, therefore, they made
much of him when he went to see
, them.
At one town the enthusiastic popn
lace tore his celebrated white coat to
pieces, and carried it home to remem
ber him by.
Tile citizens of Piacervillo prepared
to fete the great journalist, and an ex
[ tra coach, with extra relays of horses,
was chartered of the California Stage
| Company to carry him from Folsom
i to Piacervillo, distance forty miles,
j The extra was on some account de
i layed and did not leave Folsom until
\ late iu tiie afternoon. Mr. Greeley
was to be feted at 7 o’clock that even-
I ing by the citizens of Piacerville, and
!it was altogether necessary that he
j should be there by tbat hour. So
1 the stage company said to Henry-
Monk, the driver of the extra :
“ Henry, this great man must be
there by 7 o’clock to night.”
And Henry answered : “ The great
man shall be there.”
The roads were iu an awful state, i
and during the first few miles out of
: Folsom slow progress was made.
“ Sir,” said Mr. Greeley, “ you are
| aware that I must be at Placerville at
I 7 o’clock to-inght.”
“ I’ve got my orders,” laconically
replied Henry Monk.
Still tho coach dragged slowly for
ward.
“ Sir,” said Mr. Greeley, “ this is
not a trifling matter. I must bo there
at 7.”
Again came the answer: “ I’ve got
my orders.”
But the speed was not increased,
and Mr. Greeley chafed away anoth
er half hour, when, as ho was again
about to remonstrate with the driver,
the horses suddenly started into a
furious run, and all sorts of encourag
ing yells filled the air from the throat
of Henry Monk.
“ That is right, my good fellow,”
said Mr. Greeley. “ I will give you
ten dollars when wo get to Placerville.
Now we are going!”
They were, indeed, and at a terrible
speed.
Crack! crack! went the whip, and
again that voice split the air : “ Git
up! hi yi! g’long ! yip—yip!”
And on they tore, over ruts and
stones, up and down, at a rate of
speed never before achieved by stage
horses.
Mr. Greeley, who had been bounc
ing from one end of the coach to the
other like an ludia-rubber ball, man
aged to get bis bead out of the win
dow, and said :
“ D—n’t—on’t you—u—think—we
—e —o shall get there by 7 if we
d—n’t go so fast ?’’
“ I’ve got my orders.” That was
all Henry Monk said. And on tore
the coach.
It was becoming serious. Already
the journalist was becoming extrtme
ly sore from tho jolting, and again his
head might have been seen at the
window :
“ Sir,” he said, “ I don’t care—are
cn.ro if tyu Jgu’6 ££t;(/ (ht iu at 7.”
“ I’ve get my orders.”
Fresh horses—forward again, faster
than before ; over rocks and stumps,
on one of which the coach narrowly
escaped turning a summersault.
“ See here !’’ said Mr. Greeley, “ I
don’t care if we can’t get there at all.”
“ I’ve got my orders. I work for
tho California Stage Company, I do ;
that’s wot I work for. They said :
‘ Git this man through by seven,’ and
this man’s gom’ through, you bet!
Gerloug! whoop!”
Another frightful jolt, and Mr.
Greeley’s bald head suddenly fouud
its way through the roof of the coach
amid the crash of timbers and the
ripping of strong canvass. *
“ Stop, you maniac !’’ he roared.
Again answered Henry Monk :
“ I’ve got my orders. Keep your seat,
Horace!”
At Mud Springs, a village a few
miles from Placerville, they met a
large delegation of citizens of Placer
ville, who had come out to meet the
celebrated editor and escort him into
town. There was a military compa
ny, a brass band, and a six horse
wagon load of beautiful damsels in
milk white dresses, representing all
the States iu the Union. It was re
ally dark now, but the delegation
was amply provided with torches and
bonfires all along the read to Placer
ville.
The citizens met the coach on the
outskirts of Mud Springs, and Mr.
Monk reined in his foaming steeds.
“Is Mr. Greeley on board ?” asked
the Chairman of the committee.
“He was a few miles back,’’ said
Mr. Monk. “My orders are as fol
lows : * Git him there by seven.’ It
wants a quarter of seven. Stand out
of the way.”
“ But sir,” exclaimed the commit
teeman, seizing the off leader by the
reins, “ Mr. Monk we are to escort
him into town. Look at the proces
sion, sir, and the brass band, and the
people, and the young women, sir.”
“I’ve got my orders!” screamed
Mr. Monk. “My orders don’t say
nothing about no brass bands and
young women. My orders says, ‘ Git
him there by seven.’ Let go them
lines. Clear the way there.’’
“ Woo-ep! Keep your seat, Hor
ace !’’ aud the coach dashed through
the procession, upsetting a portion of
the brass band and violently grazing
the wagon which contained the beau
tiful young women in white.
Years hence grayhaired men who
were in this procession will tell their
grandchildren how this stage tore
through Mud Springs, aud how Hor
ace Greeley’s bald head ever aud
anon showed itself, like a wild appa
rition, above the coach roof.
Mr. Monk was on time. There is a
tradition that Mr. Greeley was very
indignant for a while ; then laughed,
aud finally presented Mr. Monk with
a bran new suit of clothes.
Mr. Monk himseif is still in the em
ploy of the California Stage Company,
and is rathet fond of telling a story
that has made him famous all over
the Pacific coast. And he says he
yields to no man in his devotion for
Horace Greeley.
A philosopher says that the true
secret of earthly happiuess is to enjoy
pleasures as they arise; for that man
who can keep his eye on the bright
present, while it is bright, tastes the
cup of sweetness prepared for him;
but we are prone to look forward to
dark objects, while we should be en
joying those that are more agreeable.

ETOWAH.
By Mary’s cot, old Scotia’s Bard
Os Aft on sang with pleasing tune;
And where he is has never heard
“ Ye banks and braes o’ bonny Doon ?’
The winding Firth, the wimpling Forth,
Thy pleasant waters, river Lee—
Hare all been sung; but in the South
There runs a stream more dear to me.
When back to youth fancy’s conveyed,
Perchance by some low catch or song,
I can but wish once more I strayed,
Where the bright Etowah rolls along.
The Rhone may boast her swifter tide—
The Rhine her crag of Drachenfells;
The Mississippi flow more wide,
The vespers chime o'er blue Moselle;
Niagara may thunder forth—
Her foaming flood unceasingly
Draw fashion’s crowd; but in the South
There runs a stream more dear to me.
When back to youth fancy’s conveyed,
Perchance by some low catch or song,
I can but wish once more I strayed
Where the bright Etowah rolls along.

A GENERATION BACK.
We are apt to think the present times
Are sadly out of joint ;
To sigh, and then toward ages past
The reverent finger point.
Os model husbands, model wives,
Say we, there was no lack—
Os manners, moral pride and worth—
A generation back.
The girls were modest, neat and fair,
The boys were brave and true—
They labored on, from sun to sun,
With joys and pleasures few;
The children went to bed at dark,
And seemed to have the knack
Os being seen and never heard—
A generation back.
And thus it is from age to age,
And thus ’twill ever be:
The scenes enacted long ago
With partial eyes we see;
Our offspring in the years to come
Will tread the beaten track,
And praise the conduct of their sires
A generation back.

OUR LOCAL FAIRS.
Every citizen takes more or less
pride ia local fairs. It is well that he
should do so, for it is evident that
their influences is of the most benefi
cial character. That they will be con
tinued indefinitely, now that the sys
tem has becomo so thoroughly inaug
urated, there can be but little doubt.
Os all the various methods of instruc
tion, nono are so popular with the
masses as a combination of the ocular
and oral methods. There is a great
deal of substantial truth iu the trite
old saying, “ seeing is believing.” The
masses of the people prefer these
methods of instruction which appeal
most directly to the eye and the ear.
By seeing beautiful things we long to
possess them, and if we have the geni
us or the power, we desire to create
them. Hence it is, at our annual
fairs, that a disposition is awakened,
by witnessing tire various products on
exhibition, to excel in the production
of something which seems to come
within the sphere of our ability. Thus
the fair becomes not only useful as au
object teaching institution, but as a
holiday, of which there are too few in
our American social oagauization.
Tho fn if, iu uniting instruction and
relaxation, “ kills two birds with one
stone,” and combines a quality of good
with a unity of purpose.
Every citizen in each county should
tike a laudable pride in the annual
local or district fair. They should be
interested ia its continued prosperity,
and should put forth every effort to
surpass the exhibitions in the adjoin
ing counlies in the excellence of every
thing exhibited, and in the variety of
the products. Os the various premi
ums that have been or may be offered,
those for field crops should head the
list. The recipient of the premium,
however, should give, in writing, a de
tailed account of the various methods
by which the result was attained. Such
for instance, as the nature and forma
tion of the soil, method of cultivation,
preparation of seed—in fact every
thing pertaining to tho production of
the soil, including what might be con
sidered by the superficial observer trif
ling and unimportant details.
If, however, twice as much money
has been expended in producing this
crop as the crop iu the half bushel is
worth, then we see no real merit in
awarding a premium. Why should
not the previous condition of the land
and the money expended in producing
this premium crop be awarded not to
the one who has the largest crop, but
to him who, taking a field of average
fertility, so economized labor and ex
pense that the crop was a profitable
one ? Then why not say in the pre
mium list, for the most profitable acre
of grain on land which ordinarily pro
duced a certain number of bushels per
acre ?
It is by this means only that the
negligent aud careless farmer will be
able to comprehend the method by
which success was attained, and be in
duced to attempt a reform iu his
farming operations. This principle
will also hold good in awarding pre
miums on farms of not less than 40 or
100 acres; for while great credit is

the farmers themselves could vote up-*
on it, he would receive it by a large
majority. The advantages that would
result to the farming community by
awakening competition, which would
inevitably result from the offer of a
premium by our county associations
for the best conducted farm, would
result in much good. One point would
be gained. The farm receiving the
premium being within the county lim
its, it would be easily accessible to all
the farmers during some portion of
the year so that they could go and see
for themselves. An agricultural bar
becue or general pic-nic to be given
by the recipient of the premium, would
afford a fine opportunity for the farm
ers to compare notes aud discuss va
rious agricultural subjects.
It would be still better for the farm
ing community if a premium for the
best farm iu each township could be
offered aud awarded. The influence
which this competition would create,
would be of the most beneficial char
acter, aud the aggregate results would
be of great practical value, and large
ly increase the agricultural prosperity
of the country. — Rural World.

Miss Burdett Coutts is well-known
as a woman of large wealth, who loves
to use her riches for noble objects.
Her father founded the bank, which
has proved so lucrative, aud owed his
first success to a wise liberality.
A distinguished peer had been re
fused a loan of ten thousand pounds
sterling by a Loudon bank. Mr.
Coutts heard of it, sent a request to
the lout to call at his office, and offer
ed to make the loan.
The peer, surprised, said, “ I can
give you no security.”
“Your lordship’s note of hand will
be quite sufficient,” was the prompt
reply-
The peer accepted tho loan, and
left five thousand of it on deposit in
the bank. The story soou found a
wide circulation. Other peers trans
ferred their funds. The Kings curios
ity was aroused, and after a personal
interview, he was so pleased with the
modesty aud intelligence of the ban
ker that he made him the custodian
of the royal funds. The Court fol

the bank became the favorite of the

Bybon’s Daughter.—On one occa

of Byron, to Byron’s daaghter, who
touched with the beauty of the verse,
asked who was the author. Col.
Wildman started at her, and said,
“ There is the portrait of the author,’’
pointing to the portrait of Byron by
Phillips. He read yet more of Byron’s
poetry to her. Lady Lovelace was
mute with astonishment as new reve
lations burst upon her. “Do you
think this is affectation,” she said, at
last, when I have been brought up in
complete ignorance of all that regards
my father?” From that moment a
passionate enthusiasm for everything
which recalled the memory of Byron
took possession of her. While at
Nevste td Abbey, she used to shut her
self for long hours iu the apartments j
he had live and in, and which still retain
ed much of the furniture which had
belonged to him. —Lady Glemnlina

Sleeping Flowers. —Almost all flow

gold goes to bed with til- *au, and
with him rises weeping. Many plants
are 8© sensitive that they close their
leaves during the passage of a cloud.
The dandelion opens at five or six in
the morning, and shuts at nine in the
evening. Tne goat’s beard wakes at
three in Ae morning, and shuts at live
or six in the evening. The English
daisy shuts up its blossom in the even
ing, and opens its “ day’s eyes” to
meet tho early beams of the morning
sun. The crocus, tulip, and many oth
ers, close their blossoms at different
hours towards the evening. The ivy
leaved lettuce opens at eight in the
morning, and clover at four iu the af
ternoon. The night-flowering cereus
turns night into day. It begins to ex
pand its magnificent, sweet-scented
blossoms in the twihght; it is full
blown at midnight, and closes never
to open again with the dawn of day.
Those plants which seem to be awake
all night have been called “ the bats
and owls of the vegetable kingdom.”
Lack or Ettiquette. —The following
illustration is give of ettiquette in the
time of Louis XV.:
In the Queen’s apartment there
were two chambers. One day the
Queen saw a speck of dust on her bed
and showed it to Madame de Luynes,
her maid of honor. The latter sent
for the valet de chambro, bed-m-ker
to the Queen, that he might show it to
the valet de chambre, bed-maker of
the King. The latter arrived at the
end cf an hour, but said that the dust
was none of his business, because the
bed-makers of the King made up the
common bed of the Queen, but were
forbidden to touch the State bed.
Consequently, the dust must be re
moved by the officers of tho household.
The Queen gave orders that they
should be sent for, and every day for
two months she asked if the dust had
been brushed off, but they had not yet
fouud out whose duty it was to re
move the speck. Great was the scan
dal thereof, but no one dreamed of
blaming the absence of the officers;
they only found tbat the Queen had
been wanting in ettiquette.
