The Slarrluges of Groat Men.
Byron married Miss Milbank to get
money to pay his debts. It turned out
a bad shift.
Robert Burns married a farm girl
with whom he fell in love while they
worked together in the plow field. He
was irregular in his life, and committed
the most serious mistakes in conducting
his domestic ailuirs.
Milton married the daughter of a
country squire, but lived with her but
a short time. He was an austere, ex
acting and literary- recluse, while she
was a rosy, romping conntry lass, that
could not endure the restraint imposed
upon her, so they separated. Subse
quently, however, she returned, and
they lived tolerably happy.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
were cousins, about the only example
in the long line of English monarchs
wherein the marital vows were observed,
and sincere affection existed. *
Shakspeare loved and wedded a far
mers daughter. She was faithful to her
vows, but we could hardly say the same
of the great bard himself. Like most
of the great poets, he showed too little
discrimination in bestowing his affec
tions on the other sex.
Washington married a woman with
two children. It is enough to say that
she was worthy of him, and they lived
us married folks should—in perfect har
mony.
John Adams married the daughter of
a Presbyterian clergyman. Her father
objected on account of John’s being a
lawyer--he had a bad opinion of the
inaralsof the profession.
John Howard, the great philanthrop
ist,married his nuise. She was altogeth
er beneath him in social life and intellect
ual capacity and besides this, was fifty
two years old while he was but twenty
five. He would not take ‘no’ for an
answer, and they were married and liv
ed happily together until she died,
which occured two years afterward.
Peter the Great, o( Russia, marr ed a
peasant gad. She made an excellent
wife and sagacious Empress.
Humboldt married a poor girl be
cause he loved her. Os course they
were happy.
it is not generally known that An
drew Jackson married a lady whose
husband was still living. She was an
uneducated but amiable woman, and
was most devotedly attached to the old
warrior and statesman.
John C. Calhoun married his cousin,
and their children, forunately. were
neither diseased nor idiotic, but they do
not evince the talent of the great ‘State
Rights’ advocate.
Edward Lytton Bulwer, the English
statesman and novelist, married a girl
much his inferior in position and got a
shrew for a wife. She is now insane.
Coincidences —The record of coin
eidences is now having a lively run.
A woman, writing to the Missouri
Republican calls attention to the fact
that the burning of Chicago and the
Michigan fires occurred on the sixth an
niversary of the burning of the Shenan
doah Valley by Sheridan with troops
mostly composed of Michigan and Illi
nois regiments.
Sheridan laid waste that beautiful
district, so that ‘even a crow flying
over it would have to carry his rations
with him,’
The burning of the Michigan towns
is said to have been terrible, and ‘the
flames seemed to leap from the sky as
if by magic, overtaking and destroying
peop'e and cattle by the roadside.’
The Boston fire began on the 10th of
November. On the 10th of November
General Sherman issued his order to
burn Rome and Atlanta. —Atlanta Con
stitution.
Anew and well-executed counterfeit
of the SSO bill of the new issue of
greenbacks has been discovered lately
in circulation at the South by the gov
ernment officials, and it is supposed a
preconcerted movement lias been made
to scatter them broadcast over the coun
try, especially the South, where it is
supposed the majority of the people
are not familiar with the designs of the
Federal currently.
A lawyer is something of a carpenter,
He can file a bill, split a hair, make an en
try .get up acase, frame an indictment, im
panel a jury, put them in a box, nail a
witness, hammer a judge, bore a court,
and other like things.
Robert E. Lee’s room at the Lexing
ton University is to be left ‘forever un

Advertising Rates. —The New York
Tribune, of the 11th, publishes a list
of the circulation of its weekly edition
by ritates and territories ma&ing it 170,
780. It is au appeal to advertisers.—
The Tribune’s price for advertising in
its weekly edition varies from five dol
lars to two dollars per line each publi
cation, while cuts and displayed adver
tisements are charged double. No ad
vertisement charged for less than two
lines. An advertising line makes the
space of about one-twelfth of an inch,
and, therefore, the charge for an inch
long, at the lowest rates, for one publi
cation, would be twenty-four dollars,
In the most conspicious place, it would
be sixty dollars, and in cuts or fancy
type it would be $l2O.
This seems a high price, but the
Tribune has no difficulty in procuring
it; and, mesured by the circulation
of that paper, the highest rates is
about seventy-five cents psr thousand
copies of the advertisement printed.—
The current rate with leading Georgia
papers of large circulation for contract
advertising will scarcely amount to ten
cents air inch per thousand copies print
ed, although, speaking relatively, it is
more valuable for local business purposes
—the circulation being local. There is
nothing, indeed, in the whole range of
trade so cheap as advertising.
If a man were to offer to print and
circulate daily a merchant’s card of
propositions to his customers at 10
cents per thousand copies, he would be
considered insane ; but this is more
than the Georgia newspapers of large
circulation generally charge, to regular
business advertisers. That is to say, (so
far as we are advised,) the best establish
ed and most popular newspapers in
Georgia do not get ten cents an inch, per
thousand copies printed, for current
mercantile advertising—and it is worth
about as much as that to talk the con
tents of au advertisement to a single
purchaser while by a sensible selection
of advertising organs, the merchant, if
be will, daily address the people of the
entire range of country trading with
him and carry his enterprise to new
fields, for an expense little exceeding
the cost of blank paper on which his
advertisement is printed.— Telegraph Sf

A Tale of Love. —One quiet day in
leafy June, when bees and birds were
all in tune, two lovers walked beneath
the moon. The night was fair, so was
the maid ; they walked and talked be
neath the shade, with none to harm or
make afraid.
Her name was Siland his was Jim,
and he was fat and she was slim ; he
took to her and she to him. Csays Jim
to Sal: “By all the snakes that squirm
among the brush and brakts, I love you
better n buckwheat cakes.”
Says she to Jim, since you’ve begun it,
and been and gone and done it. “I love
you next to anew bonnet.” Says Jim
to Sal, “My heart you’ve busted, but I
have always gals mistrusted.” Says Sal
to Jim, “I will be true, if you love me
as I love you, no knife can cut our love,
in two.” Says Jim to Sal : “Through
thick and thin, for your true lover count
me in, I’ll court no other gal agin.
Jim leaned to Sal: Sal leaned to Jim,
his nose just tou;hed above her chin,
four lips met—went—ahem—ahem !
And then—and then—and then and
then. Oh, gals ! beware of men in June,
and underneath the silvery moon, when
frogs and Junebugs are in tune, lest you
get your names in the paper soon.
Be Cheerful. —Look happy, if you
do not feel so. Present a cheerful ex
terior, though your heart and mind be
troi bled. Never wear a face which,
as Sidney Smith says, “is a breach of
peace.” Dr. Johnson used to observe
that the habit of looking at the best of
a thing was worth more to a man than
a thousand pounds a year, and Samuel
Smiles observes .-—We possess the pow
er to a great extent, of so exercising
the wdl as to direct the thoughts upon
objects calculated toyeild happines and
impiovement, rather than their oppo
sites. In this way, the habit of happy
thought may be made to spring up like
any other habit. And to bring up men
or women with a genuine nature of
this sort, a good temper and a happy
frame of mind is, perhaps, of even
more importance, in many cases, than
to perfect them in much knowledged
and many accomplisments.”
