Why Women Marry-Money,
Love, and Spite-Bachelors and
Buttons.
Some dose observer of our social re
lations, having looked about his mar
ried female acquaintances, ventures
to give the following list, with an at
tempt to indicate the real reasons which
influence too many to marry. We
hope and believe that he is not correct
iD the proportion he assigns to the right
motive for marrying, but we are sure
that ail the other motives he mentions
are the more or less influential. He
aiys: Number One has married fora
norne. She got tired of working in a
factory, or teaching school, or making
dresses, and she thought married life
was nothing on earth but moonlight
walks, buggy rides, new bonnets and
nothing to do! Well, she has got her
home; whetiier or no she is tired ol
the accompanying incumbrances this
deponent saitii not, inasmuch that this
deponent does not positively know.
Number Two married because she
had seven younger sisters, and a papa
with a narrow income. She ‘consulted
the interests of her family.’ Perhaps
she would better have consulted her
own interests by taking in light wash
ing, or going out by the day to work.
Number Three married because Mrs.
sounded somueb belter than Miss. She
was twenty-nine years anti e'even
months old, and another month would
have transmuted her into a regular
old maid. Think how awful that
would have been!
Number Four married because she
warned somebody to pay her biils. Her
husband married for precisely the same
reason, so they are both of them re
penting at leisure.
Number Five married because Fan
ny Wniie bad a nice new husband, and
she wasn’t going to bt> left behind! Pity
if she couldn’t get married as well as
other folks!
Number Six married because she
was poor, ant] wanted riches. Pool
child! she never counted on all the
things that were inseparable from these
coveted rich s.
Number Seven married because she
thought she should like to travel. Bui
Mr. number Seven changed his mind
afterward, and all the traveling she
lias done has been between the web
and backkiichcn door.
Number Eight married out of spile
Lct fire, Kv .Cl trUll UIKCI1 TO
himsH'f a second love! Tina piece of
reta.'liation miglithave done her good
.1 one time, but in the long run Nutn
i er Eight found it did not pay.
Number Nine married because she
had read novels and ‘w an ted sympathy.
Sympathy is a fine thing, but it cool
down at a rapid rate if the domestic
kettle is kept boiling, and the domestic
turkey is underdone. Nove 3 and
housekeeping don’t run well together
in harness, to use a sporting piirase,
and Number Nine’s supply of sympa
thy didn’t bold out very long.
Number Ten married because she
loved her husband with all her heart
and with all her soul. Andshe loves
him still and will probably always con
tinue to love him, and is the happiest
wife in the world—so she says.
We have the right motive at last—
one which, when sanctified by a desire
and a res lution to improve a id elev t
each other, and to live true and holy
lives before God, cannot fad to call
down the blessings of heaven. Bu:
sad is the fate of those who marry from
wrong motives—to escape their share
of File’s work, or to get something for
which they have nothing to give in re
turn.
There are thousands of matrimonial
alliances in which there is not sufficient
mot.ey on either side to serve as a temp
tatiou, b t which are pevertbeless.
mere contracts of self-interest with
hich love has nothing to do. A
bachelor, for instance, gets tired of his
lonely, dusty apartments and his dull
unsatisfactory life, and thinks it would
be a fine thing to have some one to
keep thethings tidy, to mend stockings,
to sew buttons on bisshirt, and to have
an eye on his domestic affairs generally;
and he looks about for a suitable part
ner with just as sharp an eye to busi
ness as it he were selecting a book
keeper or a salesman for his shop. O
widower, with a family of young
children on his hand, makes up hi
mind that a wife would be less expen
sive than a hired housekeeper, and sets
himself at work to secure one.
There is no great difficulty in find
ing a maiden, young or old, or a widow
who will be glad to exchange the life
of ill-paid drudgery to which poor un
niatried women are subjected, for al
most any position which promises to
secure her a home and the certainty oi
a provision for her necessities. So the
bargain is dosed, andthe place, unin
viting as it is, is filled—the one party
agreeing to furnish bed and board,
clothes and ‘pin money,’ and the other
promising to take care of the children
and attend to.tbe dnsting and the din
ners. Nothing is said about a heart.
If either party has one, he or she is left
in undisputed possession of it. Such
a bargain may sometimes prove a good
one for both parties in a merely com
mercial point of view ; but oftener it
fails, even in that respect, to give sat
isfaction to either. In auy case, it is
not marriage in the highest and best
sense of the term, brings with it none
of the blessings which wedded love in
This is one oi the many forms
which matrimonial traffic - asti
bat the Mae principal underlie* them
all. In each it isa business transaction,
and not a union of heart—the play ot
Hamlet with Ilam'et left out.
Letter from Hon. A. H. Stephens
Liberty Hall. 1
Crawfordyille, Ga., Sept. 16, 1870. }
Mr. J. A. Stewart, Rjme, Ga ,
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 14th
in.-t., j vas jreceive 1 to-day. I had be
fore seen u.e result of the action of the
Ca tersville Convention.
1 do not know mueh of Gen. Young,
n- t enough to pass any opinion as to
ti e propriety of his nomination ; but as
it f at been made, I think it would be
be3t for the Democratic [tarty to give
him a united support. We cannot in
this world, have events, in ail particu
lars, to take thecourse urn wish ; indeed,
we seldurn ever have them to turn as
we would wish in all particulars on any
subject. Gen. Young, if elected, will
doubtless oppose all Radical measures,
and do all in his power fora testora-
tion of good government. By Radical
measures I mean those miscliievou-
and unconstitutional actsol the present
dominant party in Corrg*re»s, which are
bring ng such ruin upon the country
and undermining the foundation prin
eiples upon which all our free inst tu-
tions rest.
Tne proscriptive feeling you speak of
meets with no sanction by me; and
nence I thought that the question ol
whether a good and true Democrat
could take the test oath or not, should
not be inquired into in the nomination
of candidates. I look upon that oath
as void. The act that prescribed it is
an out rage upon the Constitution. The
qualifications of members of Congress
are set forth in the Constitution, and
Congress can neither add to or take
from these.
But the fact that a good and true
man could take it(the test oath) ought
not, in my opinion, to be any objection
to any one in looking out for members
to Congress. Tnere are some who can
take it that I would not vote for. Bui
my reasons are not founded upon the
simple fact that they can take it; they
arise from taefactof their radical, cen
tra izing princip es, which a r e al war
with the whole tratnework of the Con
stitution. A more ardent devotee
to a perp etual union of the State-,
under the Constitution than lam, nevei
ved. My own opinion is, that the
mrest guarantee of this is the full re-
gnition of thesovereign right of each
member to quit it when in hisdcliber-
j utiyiiieiu nre compact nas been
broken This recogniz-.d light, in the
opinion of Mr. Jefferson, was the grea-
est security against violations of the
Constitution, and a complete check
against uitimaie centralism or empire.
— When there is no such recognized
check, the danger of centralization is
rnminent and perilous.
I, however, do not require t' Oi;
with whom I act to agree with
me on those particular points; it is
nough for me, in all practical party
acts, that my associate shall earnestly
inve to prevent centralism and main-
ain, by his language, votes, and efforts
of all sorts, the rigtits of the States in
the Union and under the Co sutuiion.
While I be ieved the right of s ces-
ion was perfect, yet I considered it
exceedingly inexpedient. Now that
it has been abandoned fur all practical
purposes us a remedy, I hail as a politi
cal brother every man in all parts of the
country, North and South, who is in
ivAr of maintaining the Union asa Un
ion Stat:--—any one who s q >p >sed to
central ztiiori and empire. Yours truly,
Alexander H. Stephens.
The Burial of Dickens.
He sieeps in Westminister Abbey,
‘surrounded by the tombs of all his an
eesiors’—lor tne great arc the children
of the great—the mighty dead gather-
eu there are the begetters and inspirers
of genius. High deeds and noble
thoughts flow from a royal source.
His burial was simple and unostenta
tious. There were no crowds,—no
pomp or circumstance.
We read that his remains were taken
by the train from Gadshill, his late res
idence, to Charing Cross station, and
thence the brief procession was driven
to the time-honored Abbey—
Where rest the warrior and the child of songt
and where, in silence, till the judgement day,
The orator, whose all persuading tongue
Ha h moved the nations with resistless sway.
Arriving at Westminister, the re
mains were received by Dean Stanley,
ar.d other officials, and placed in the
‘Poet’s Corner,’ at the feet of Handel
at the head of Sheridan, with Macau-
ley and Cumberland on either side. The
usual fl iwers were strewn upon the
bier. Dean Stanley read the burial
8-Tvice, when the coffin was deposing
in its final resting place, and the funer
al of Charles D ckena was ended. Up
on the coffin piate were inscribed the
words: Charies Dickens, born Februa
ry 7th, 1812. Died June 9th, 1870.
Thousands of citizens crowded the
Abbey during the day to look upon
the spot wheie the great novelist rests.
The greatest city in the world has
showing to civilization England’s af
fection for her greatest eon. Hfer

How Much Bacon was Consum
ed South Last Season, and.
What it Costs TJs.
There is no possible reason why the
South cannot make its own supply of
meat. There is no section of the coun
try which will not produce the hog, nor
d iesthe climatic effects prevent its being
properly killed and perfectly cured,
oui a-.igukuiat juuioars, wmen very
rightly cry ‘plant more corn,’ should
also add, ‘raise more hogs, cure your
o wn meat and save your money.’ From
one of our exchanges we find that the
South alone spent in meat last season
thirty millions of dollars, or, counting
last year’s crop of cotton to have aver
aged $100 per bale, it took 300,000
bales of cotton to pay for meat alone.
We have never heard but one single
argument used by planters to explain
Way they could not raisejhogs, and that
was, that the freedmen stole the stock,
having a liking for other peoples’ meat.
We cannot see any strength in this line
of argument. Just as the freedman ia
interested in his m.- s ir’s cotton crop, so
could he be made personally liable for
the hog crop.
What however is the truth, is that
the corn crop is utterly neglected, and- t
of course, where there is no grain therq
can be no pork.
Should the present European war
continue, which would be likely to
enhance the price of all provisions, we
should think our planters would take
every measure to insure them a stock
of meat, made by themselves.—Savan

Peace prevails in North Carolina.
The Governor has officially proclaimed •
a Conservative victory, is about to dis
band his ragamuffin troops, and sub
sides generally from an armed ruffian
into a mere partisan pamphleteer.
These says the World, are happy
changes, and pleasntly prefigure the
good time coming, and now not far off,
when Radical rulers shall cease to bear
rule in the South any more. Six weeks
ago, when Republican ascendancy was
yet unbroken, North Carolina was one
scene of brutal violence, a reproach to
the civilization of the aire, and a dis
grace to the country. To-day ihat as-
cendancy is over, and North Carolina
isasquiteas New York. The differ
ence is the same as that between Ten

Beautiful Myth—In Eastern,
poetry they tell of a wondrous tree,
which grew golden apples aind silver
bells, and every time a breeze went by
and shook the fragrant branches, \
shower of these golden apples fell,, And
the living bells chimed and tinkled
forth their airy ravishment. On tbq
gospel tree grew sv/eet blossoms and
bells more melodious than those which,
mingled with the poraegran.ates.on Aa
ron’s vestment—holy feeling, heaven-,
taught joys; and when the Holy Spir-^.
it breathes upon the evangelized, so
there are a shaking down of mellow
fiuits, and the flow of. healthy music,
whose gentle tones and joyous echoing
are wafted through all the recesses ol
the soul.
