By her thrift, prh- deiico tiud tasto she can sccuro to her partner and to herself a competence in old age, no matter how small their begianing or bow adverse a fate may bo theirs. By her cheerfulness she eau restore her husband's spirits, sha ken by the auxicty of business. By her tender cure she cnu often rostoro him to health, if diseaso has overtaken his powers By her counsel and lovo lie cau win him from bad compauy, if temptation in an evil hour has led him RRtray. By her cxamplo, her precepts and her sex’s insight into character, slio can mould her children however adverse their dispoHitioiis, into uoblo iuou and women. Aud, by loading in nil things a true and beau- tiful life she can refine, elevato and spiritualize all who come within her reach; so that with others of her sex emulating mid Assisting her sho can do moro to regonornto tho world than all the statesmen or reformers that ev er legislated. She can do much, alas! perhaps moro to degrado man if she chooses to do it. Who can estimate the evils that a woman has tho power to do? As a wife she can ruin herself by ex travagance, folly or want of affection. Sho can make a demon or an outcast of a mau who might otherwise becomo a good member of society. Sho can bring bickering, strife and discord in to what might bo or lias been a happy homo.- She cau chuugo the innocent babes into vile men and eveu into vile women. She cau lower tho moral tone ot society itself and Urns pollute legislation at the spring head. She can, in fine, become an iustrnmcnt of evil instead of an angel of good. In stead of making flowers of troth, pa rity, beauty and spirituality spring up in her footsteps till the earth smile* with a loveliness that is almost celes tial, she cau transform it to a black aud arid desert, covered with scorn of all evil passions, and swept by tho bit ter blast of everlasting death. This is ; what women cau do for the wrong as well as for tho right. Is her mission a little one? Has she no worthy work as hus become the cry of lute ?

A gentleman from Allen county, who chanced to be in tho city yeater- dny, tells au interesting story of a ro mantic runaway match which is now being extensively canvassed in thnt pnrt of the State. Scottsville, a pret ty village sitnntod in the conuty uien tionod, about fiftocn* miles from the Teiinossoo lino, is the homo of lha most aristocratic people in Kentucky. It is a place noted for pretty girls and gallant young men, and among all these tlio sweetest bolle was Miss 01- lio Brown, and tho hnndsomest bean Ur. Joseph Carpenter. They lovod ouch other unto dosporation. Thoirs was the sort of lovo that always leads to marriage, aud months ago they de termined to link their destinies. In this case, ns in many others, the only obstacle was the parental objection.— Miss Brown's mother positively de clared that she was not old enough to get married, being only fourteen, and her sweetheart's ontrcatics were in vain. The young people made one or two incSuctaal attempts at clopomont, but they wero never once dissuaded from their determination to carry ont the schomo in the sweot by-nud-by.— On last Thursday young Mr. Carpou- tor drovo in a buggy to tho residence of his sweetheart, aud ouco moro bo- Bought her mother to consent to an early wedding. Mrs. Brown was in exorable, Miss Brown was tearful, and Air. Carpenter excited. At lost, when every prayer had been denied, the young mau boldly put the question to bis swcotbcart: "Will yon go with mo, or mind yonr mother and romain at home?" The girl lookod up through her lours first at her lover nml then at hor mother. “I will go with you,” sho said at length. "Thun come," nnd with these words young Carpenter caught his lady lov iu liis arms, and hurrying out of the house, jiimpod into the buggy thnt wns standing in front of the door.— The horse received a smart blow with the whip, aud jumped uwny in a dead run. As soon ns Mrs. Brown realized tho situation ahe screamed for nssis tanco at the top of bur voice. In n fow moments tlio little town was wild with excitement, but tho volume of sympathy soeiuod to ho with tiie young |>eop)o, who had just whirled through tho streets nt u torrilic rate uf speed, taking tho rond to Oallntin, Teiin. Tho mother wildly besought somebody to go iu pursuit of the fu gitives, and if |Kissibls to stop the mariinge. At lungth Mr. Mnnioti, a young lawyer, ntid Judge of the I’m liee Court, couscutcd. In n tew mo ments lie ivns mounted upon a horse of s|Hiud mid bottom, nud rattling nut of town iu the direction taken by the buggy, nt n pare thnt would have rup tured the “gentloinnn's cup" at any fuir iu the State. From the very start it wns n rare of whip and spur. Tim fugitives were evidently tnnkiug for 'Squire Fite’s "flier, which is just across the Tennessee line, nnd Judge Mmiioti was hot npon (heir trail. It was a clmso long to lie remembered by the ]ample who witnessed it. In front a horse (locked with foam, go ing at full K|iecd, and drawing n light buggy, iu wliicb sat a gallant yonth witli resolution in bis face and a beau tiful girl nestling trustingly by bis side. A mile nr two in the rear a sol itary horseman, applying whip and spur, thundered alung the level turn pike. The bnggy hml the best of tho race, an 1 palled up in front of 'Hquiro Fike’s office fifteen minutes in the lead uf lha man on horseback. Tho clover 'Squire promptly adjusted bis spccUcleH mill read tho marriage li cense. It was nil right, aud tho cere mony would be |icrfortnod, the 'Squire said, nud lie was on the point of pro nouncing tlio words so fevorishly awaited by tlio young people when Judge Mnniou, riding like a profes sional jockey, bore down upon the party aud signalled the officer of the law to atop. *'l object to this wed ding," ho said, flinging himself from his panting horse. “ Upon what grounds ?" asked the 'Squire. " It is the wish of the lady’s moth er thnt she shall not marry. I bavo come at her bidding." " You’ll have to show something in writiug," said thv 'Squire bluntly, Judge Mnniou promptly took his scat nt a table and ilnshod off au affi davit, reciting the facts. 'Squiro Fiko rood it, and much Io the discomfltiiro of the runaways, rofaied to proceed furtbor with the ceremony. Thoyonng pcoplo plondod, but nil lb no purpose. At longth Mr. CarpenUr mid in very simplo language: “ We’ll go farther. Got in tho buggy, my deer. Judge Man ion, you may prepart for another race. We are off for Gallatin. The young man meant exactly what be said, and iu a fow minutes tho race was renewed. Tho dittanos to Galla tin was oigbteen miles, but the bnggy horse was staunch and as truo as the love of the young couplo be was draw ing. Ho leaped nimbly away from tho string, nnd onoo more got the best of tho start Jndgo Manion, nothing dnuutcd, again took tbo taddlo and pat tho apart to his faithful courser. For fonr miles the race was nook and nock, neither ontry for the gtnnd prizo Hugging; hut at the finish of that dis tance, tho horse under saddle cast a shoo and stumbled to tho gronnd completely oxhaustod. Tho bnggy then glided unaccompanied to Galla tin. Jndgo Mauion picked himself up, determined to carry ont bis mis sion, nnd walked along tbo road for tbreo miles, when lie proearod anoth er horse, this timo a sorry ping, and strrted ont once moro on a ran. In the mcautime, however, onr yonng people had arrived at Gallatin. A preacher wns secured, and the wod- ding was performed at tho principal hotel in the presence of a dozen spe cially invited guests. Judgo Manion galloped into town on his* worn-out hack just in timo to congratulate Mr. and Mis. Carpenter, which he did with tho best grace )>oasibli'. The bride is the duughtor of Mr. Robert L. Brown, formerly a well-known merchant of this city. Slip is also a cousin by marriage nf ubn. Eli H. Murray. Sho is but fourteen years of age. The A Urged Parlor. ITEMS OF INTEREST. MacuQ Tvlpj-rettlt *n«l MoMsnffcr. A widu-sprend nnisnncc with wliieli tho people have been struggling ever since America cast looso from Eng land and trimmed her own sails, is that unlit tomb commonly denominat ed a parlor. If a house has hat tbreo rooms iu it, uno is sot aside for a par lor, if the family has to dino ont un ler n shed. Various gnesscs have been made ns to tho necessity for the parlor, hut no one has ever solved the connudrniu. As a matter of history, it is the drawing room on a small scale, nml a poor imitation at that.— It is tho rcccptaclo for gloomy old pictures, a sombre array ot fnruiturc, t-lniicboly light, an expensive enr- pot nml n lot of useless trinkets. We had forgotten to montion tho alhnm. Xo parlor is complete without au al bum iu which to store away pictures of relatives in unbecoming and uu- ient costumes. As wo remarked, no ■nail has ever yet discovered tho ne cessity lor tlio parlor, or why is it Unit ninety people out of a hundred devote 20 per cent of their space to useless solitude nud large sums of money to an investment that brings no return, unless the freezing out of guests in winter slid sweating them out in slimmer, just before dinner, can lie culled a return. The real cause of. the parlor, when the matter is thornghly sifted, will he fontid to oxist in laziness. It is heeuiise people will not keep their sitting rooms tidied np end neat that parlors continue to- exist. The very room that should In- thrown open to the breezes in sum mer and lit by cheerful fires in winter —the room that should resound with the laughter of children, and tbo cra ning churns of voices in sweet accord - the room where flowers sbonldshed their |M-rfniiio and the family cirdo be completed, is made almost sn un known country. Tho family roosts around in some illy furnished and ill kept loom, to sop|iort tho parlor, and womlcr that Urn sons hunt up morrior placca and more comfort. Ot conrso, if a man can nlTord a sitting room and a parlor also, lie tins as much right to do it ns lie has to rim up an eight- foot square cupola aud put two hun dred dollars’ worth of windows in it, or to put a looking-glass in a horso' stall. Bat if ha can afford bat one let him cot tho parlor'a throat and throw the hide to the children to romp on. The only chill wo ever bad was in a parlor, and wo never enter one of the gloomy caverns where, at times, yon can’t tell the chandelier from the time nt day without feeling an echoing shudder start np from tho (mat. A pretty woman was dangorously ill at Rising Snn, Indiana, and tho physician promised to euro her if sho would desert her husband nnd clopo with him. The bargain was carried out oil both sideB.

AN AWKWARD PREDICAMENT. Not long ago tho particulars wero lonrnod of a distressing occurrence at Euclid. There livos within tho limits of tho (own named, a middio-nged fnriner named Henry Goodplower, who, although honest, is not addicted to the careful observation of tho bib lical injunction to keep holy tho Sab bath, which is indicative of a pious man. On Saturday Mr. aud Mrs. Goodplower attended the circus, nnd tbo lady remarked with feclingsof ad miration nnd astonishment tho con tortions of tho india rubber man who placed his foot on tho bnek of his own neck with manifest onso and grnco. Tho circus ended and tbo Eu clid delegation returned to their home, Mrs. O. dooply thoughtful. Ycster- dny tho farmer, who, ns stntod above, is not a momber of any religions de nomination accompaniod by his hired man, betook bimsolf to tho oatfield to miiko up fur lost timo. After tho mon had departed, Mrs. Goodplower sat down un the floor to carry out a plan which sho had been turning over in her mind. She is of n very emula tive nature, and tho moro sho thought of the india rubber man tho moro she became fixed in the belief that sho could discount sumo of his efforts.— The first feat attempted was putting her foot hack of her neck. The right foot wns adjusted with circumstantial ease. AH attempts to get tho other ouo up fuilod utterly nud dismally.— Finally concluding thnt tho day was not a good ouo for playing circus, Mrs. G. tried to got hor foot down, hut wns unable to do so. Finally, re alizing her desperate condition, Aire. Guoilplowcr's efforts wero little less than superhuman, but they were no good, tho foot wonld not down, and, nt length, tho unfortunate woman gave over her useless exertions Iu the meantimo the cheerful hus band and hired man were breaking tbo Hnhbntli and making tho oatfiold look sick. All the morning they toiled and ns noon came on they looked anx iously and expcctuntly toward the A THREATENED OYSTER FAMINE.
