From the Baltimore Sun. CHOOSINCI HUSBANDS. One Woman’s Experience—lnter esting Heading for Young In dies. When a girl marries, why do peo ple talk of her choice ? In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, has she any choice Does not the man (probably the last she would have chosen) select "her ? n Avery clever correspondent has sent us a letter containing this query; and she makes out her case ably. She says : “ I have been married many years; the match was considered a very good one, suitable in every respect —age, position and fortune. Every one said I had made a choice. Why, my dear Mr. Editor, I loved my husband when I mar ried him because he had by unwearied assiduity succeeded in gaining my affec tions; but had choice been my privilege [ certainly should not have chosen him. As I look at him in his easy chair, a huge dog at his feet, a pipe peeping out of one of the many pockets of his shoot ing coat, I can but think how different he is from what I would have chosen. My first penchant was for a fashiona ble clergyman, a perfect Adonis; he was a flatterer, and he cared but little for uic, though I have not yet forgotten the pang of his desertion. My next was a barrister; a young man of im mense talent, smooth, insinuating man ners ; but he, too, after talking, walk ing, dancing and flirting, left me in the lurch. Either of these would have been my 4 choice,’ had I so chosen ; but my present husband chose me and therefore L married him; and this I cannot help thinking, must be the way with half the married folks of my acquaintance.” There is both sound sense and truth in this; but is it not better that men should choose than they should be cho sen / And is not our correspondent probably much happier with her pres ent husband, shooting jacket, pipe and dog inclusive, than she would have been with either the fashionable clergyman or the clever barrister ? Men are pro verbially inconstant, and after marriage, when the trouble and inconvenience of children arc beginning to be felt, and when (the most trying time of all) the wife begins to neglect her husband for her children, unless there was originally a very strong attachment on the hus band’s side, there is little chance for happiness. A wife’s affection, on the contrary, always increases after mar riage ; and even if she were indifferent before, no well disposed woman can help loving the father of her children.— Children, on her side, are a bond of union, and though she may appear, for them, to neglect some of those little at tentions which men naturally seem to expect, it is only because the child is the more helpless being of the two, and the true woman always takes the side of those who are most feeble. It is a strange but melancholy fact that when young girls fancy themselves in love, they are seldom if ever happy if they marry the object of their choice. The fact is, in the most cases, they find the husband they have chosen quite a different person as an individual from the imaginary object he had appeared as a lover. The imagination in most girls is“stronger than the judgment; and as soon as the first idea of love is awakened in a female heart, the imagination is set to work to fancy a lover, and all possible and impossible perfections are assembled together in the young girl’s mind to en dow the object of her secret idolatry The first man whose appearance and man ners attract a girl on her entrance into society is generally invested by her with the halo of these secret thoughts, and she fancies herself violently in love without the least knowledge of the man she supposes herself in love with. No wonder, then, that if she marries she is miserable. On the other hand the man who, with very pardonable vanity, fancied himself loved for his own merits, and who was perfectly unconscious of the secret de lusions of the girl, becomes, when he finds her changed after marriage, quite indignant at her Qaprice. The friends and relations on both sides share in the same feelings—“ what would she have?” they cry —“ she married for love, and see the consequence.” The consequences are indeed, in such cases, generally sad enough. When the first delusion is dissipated, and the truth, in all its hard and stern reality, comes forth from the veil that has been thrown around it, both parties feel indignant of the false position in which they find themselves. Mutual recriminations take place, each accusing the other of deceit and ingratitude; while the apparent injustice of these accusations, which is felt by each party alternately, first wounds the feelings, and iheo, if repeated, rankles in the wound until it becomes incurable. The New York Express says : Each tick of the clock for the last ten years has added $8.28 to our National debt and every time the second hand has, made a complete revolution, $490.80 have accumulated to that already weighty incumbent. At every inhala tion $16.50 have been put upon the debt side, aud in the little time we take to consume our dinner, at least $8,330 have been consumed by the Radical party at Washington Alphonse Adhemar, a celebrated mathematician, has recently enunciated a startling theory that the earth is cov ered by a deluge once in 10,500 years, and he gives multitudinous calculations supporting his assertions.

FluukyUm. “Honor to whom honor is due,” is an old maxim which we respect and admire, but we confess that we have wandered far from it in these degenerate days. In olden times when men had performed great service for their country and had become renowned as warriers, statesmen or philanthropists, or were eminent in any of the departments of science, or had done some act which entitled them to the veneration and respect of man k.nd, their coming and going was made matter of public concern, and the press duly heralded it to the country. This was all right. But we confess we are disgusted, when we read in our ex changes the movements of every little pigmy who stirs beyond the smoke of his owu chimney, and it is chronicled with flourish of trumpets as the arrival or departure of the Honorable Mr. Shecpsorrel or the Honorable Mr. Tad pole. Ihe term Honorable was applied by courtesy to distinguished men ; ex-Pres idents, ex Governors, ex-members of Congress, and Judges who had worn the ermine unspotted, but it has now, like military titles after the war,become so common, and has been plastered on all sorts of two legged animals, that those who are entitled to them have be come nauseated, and it is really refresh ing to meet with a plain Mr. We have a sort of exalted respect for such an one. In these days, if a man has ever kept a tub mill or a grindstone, or been high constable of some backwoods district of ‘•Georgia Mclish,” he can’t go to mill, or “hunt the greedy opossum,” without some vigilant staff officer of the editorial corps of the “milky way” announcing, as a stunning fact, which ought to make the world open its eyes in amazement, that the Hon. Mr. Thingumbob has ar rived safe from his perilous adventures after the “ possom;” and the modest Jenkins or Smith, who never expected to tread fame’s giddy height, suddenly find themselves immortalized. Shade of the departed Longstreet! If Raney Sniffle had lived in these days we would expect to see it announced that the Hon. R. Sniffle, of Sniffletown, has taken rooms at the Chinquepin Hotel. “Now, in the name of all the Gods at once, Upon what meats doth this, our Caesar feed, That he has grown so great ?” A Mother’s Power. A moment’s work on clay tells more than an hour’s work on brick. So work on hearts should be done before they harden. During the first six or eight years of child-life, mothers have chief sway, and this is the time to make deep est and most endearing impressions on the human mind. The examples of material influence are countless. Solomon himself records the words of wisdom that fell from a mother’s lips, and Timothy was taught the Scriptures from a child by his grand mother. John Randolph, of Roanoke, used to say: “ I should have been a French atheist were it not for the recollection of the time when my departed mother used to take my little hands in hers, and make me say, on my bended knees, 4 Our Father who art in Heaven !’ ” 44 1 have found out what makes you the man you are,” said a gentleman one morning to President Adams. 44 1 have been reading your mother’s letters to her son.” Washington’s mother trained her boy to truthfulness and virtue; and when his messenger called to tell her that her son was raised to the highest station in the nation’s gift, she could say : “George always was a good boy.” A mother’s tears dropped on the head of her little boy one evening as he sat in the doorway and listened, while she spoke of Christ and his salvation.— “Those tears made me a missionary,” said he, when he had given his man hood’s prime to the service of the Lord. Someone asked Napoleon what was the great need of the French nation. “Mothers,” was the significant answer. Woman, has God given you the priv ileges and responsibilities of mother hood ? Be faithful, then to the little one; you hold the key of their hearts now. If you once lose it, you would give the world to win it back ; use your opportu nities before they pass. And remember, little ones, you will never have but one mother. Obey and honor her; listen to her words, and God will bless you day by day. A Chicago Jeremiade —Mr. W. D. Bancker has brought from Chicago to New r Yoik a curious memorial of the great fire. Among the ruins of the Western News Company’s establishment, where an immense stock of periodicals and books was reduced to ashes, there was found a single leaf of a quarto Bi ble charred around the edges. It con tained the first chapter of the Lamenta tions of Jeremiah, which opens with the following words : “ How doth the city sit solitary that was full of people! How is she become a widow ! she that was great among the nations and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary! She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her.” And that was the only fragment of literature saved . from the News Company’s great depot. —Netc York Tribune. “How did you learn that graceful at titude ?” sad a gentleman to a fellow leaning in a maudlin fashion against a post. “1 have been practicing at a glass,” was the reply. Words of Comfort to Mothers. A writer in Hearth and Home speaks these words of comfort to working moth ers : “A woman who does all her own work, who has very little means at her command, and who, besides, is the moth er of seveaal small children none of whom are able to help her, or wait on themselves, bust on the contrary, require constant attention, often has weary mo ments of utter discouragement. Her thoughts run somewhat in this way : “I am completely tired out, yet my work is not half done. I meant to have ac complished so much to-day ; but I had bad kindling, and the fire has been poor in consequence, then the baby has been cross, and the other children noisy and boisterous, and having them in-doors ali the time this cold weather is so tire some to them and to me. Then there are little stockings to be knitted, and shirts for husband to be made—dear me, I am sure I do not see where I am going to find the time to do them ! But that is not the worst of it. My darling chil dren are so neglected, I can’t possibly spare the time to train them aright,and when I see other person’s children so quiet and orderly, and so neat and well dressed, it makes me feel badly. I am afraid my children will turn out misera bly. It is seldom that I can stop to correct them as I should, and It is only of a Sunday afternoon that I ever can gather them around me to talk to them, or tell them a story, like a real, true mother should.” Dear mother, be not discouraged. That little Sunday afternoon talk, the distress which you display in your coun tenance whenever your child utters an evil word, or acts unWndly, and the prayerlul desire on your part to do them good, will have its reward. Those little quiet peaceful talks will be as grains of mustard seed sown in good ground, which, although the seed is so small that it seems invisible to the human sight, shall spring up vigorous, strong and irresistible. — Letters of Recommendation. A gentleman advertised for a boy to assist him in his office, and nearly fifty applicants presented themselves to him. Out of the whole number he selected one, and dismissed the rest. “ I should like to know,” said a friend, “ on what ground you selected that boy, who brought not a single recommenda tion.” “ You are mistaken,” said the gentle man ; “he had a great many. He wiped his feet when he came in, and closed the door after him, showing that he was careful. He gave up his seat instantly to that lame, old man, showing he was kind and thoughtful He took off his cap when he came in, and answered my questions promptly and respectfully, showing he was polite and gentlemanly. He picked up the book which I pur posely laid upon the floor, and replaced it on the table, while all the rest stepped over it or shoved it aside; and he waited quietly for his turn, instead of pushing and crowding, showing that he was honest and orderly. When I talked with him, I noticed that his clothes were carefully brushed, his hair in nice order, and his teeth as white as milk ; and when he wrote his name, I noticed that his finger nails were clean, instead of being tipped with jet, like that hand some little fellow’s in the blue jacket. Don’t you call those things letters of recommendation ? I do, and I would give more for what I can tell about a boy by using my eyes ten minutes than all the fine letters he can bring me.” —Little Corporal . GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. Wednesday, Nov. 8, 1871. SENATE. The Senate met at 10 A. M., Presi dent Trammell in the Chair. Prayer by Rev. E. W. Warren. The roll w T as called and the journal of yesterday read and approved. Mr. Brown offered the following pre amble and resolutions: Whereas, It has been alleged by cer tain politicians North and South, who esteem the success of the party to which they belong, and the accomplishment of their political purposes more highly than the peace, happiness and prosperity of the country, that there exists in this and other Southern States, certain law less bands of persons commonly called Ku-Klux, who are banded together for political purposes, and are in the habit of committing outrages.upon the peace able and law abiding citizens of the country, and that the State Courts fail and refuse to afford sufficient redress; and Whereas, The Congress of the United States at its last session appointed a committee to investigate said alleged outrages and violations of law; and Whereas, This Senate is satisfied that no such political organization exist in this State, and denies to afford said committee all the aid and facilities in its power for the purpose of enabling the said committee to arrive at the truth in regard to all the matters which it is their duty to inves tigate ; and Whereas, The Superior Court Judges of this State (a large majority of whom belong to the Republican party) preside over the courts of every county in this State, and have ample opportunity of knowing how the law is being adminis tered and enforced in the various parts of the State; and Whereas, The Senate is satisfied that a large number of witnesses have been called to testify before said committee, who arc not worthy of crcj it, before any court or honest community, for the pur pose of making a record to be used for the accomplishment of certain political ends, which greatly defames the people of this State ; and Whereas, This Senate is satisfied that the people of this State never w re at any time in the history of this country, more peaceable, quiet and law abiding than they are now ; therefore Resolved by the Senate, That we re spectfully invite the portion of said com mittee, which is now assembled in this city, to summons as witnesses before them, all of the Judges of the Superior Courts of this State. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to give to said committee and the courts of the country all the aid in our power to enable them to investigate any out rages or violations of law which may have been committed against the laws of this State or the United States, and to bring the guilty parties to speedy justice. Senator Campbell opposed the resolu tions, and moved to lay them on the ta ble. Withdrawn. Senator Brock spoke at length against, the resolutions, insisting that they did not apply to his District.

The meeting between Grant and But ler the other day was very cordial.— Whisky cordial '( An exchange says the way to learn German is to court a German girl!— Happy thought! A young man who is desperately in love says he has been eltctritied with a gal-vanic battery. A physician has discovered that the nightmare, in nine cases out of ten, is produced by owing a bill to the printer. “I wish I was dead,” is the heading to an advertisement. This wish can be speedily gratified by taking the medi cine. The story of a man who had a nose so large that he couldn't blow it without the use of gunpowder, is said to be a hoax. An Irishman being asked why he wore his stockings wrong side out replied : “Because there’s a hole on the, other side ov ’em.” Louisville undertakers are auctioning off their summer coffins in order to make way for the “unique and handsome win ter styles.” It is said that the wind blows with such force in Colorado, that when a man loses his hat, he has to telegraph to the next station for someone to stop it. A NEW source of Radical revenue was tapped in Wahsingtou the other day by fining a man, a Republican, five dollars for “ cursing President Grant.” It is thought by some that this might be made a very prolific source of revenue for the Radicals if cases of the kind could be made generally available. Good wives are better conservators of the public peace and morality than po licemen, magistrates and penal statutes, and all terrors of the law. Let a man be thus home-anchored, and have an in terest in a house and lot, aud, unless he is radically bad, he becomes a self-ap pointed guardian of the peace and of public morals. It is well known that the greatness of a newspaper man depends upon how badly he can write. Greeley is great, but there is a greater than Greeley. The Cleveland Plane Dealer has a letter from Murat Holstead, of the Cincinnati Com mercial, which it says, outdoes 11.

Night came, and the gentleman proceed to interrogate Pat as to his callers. “Did any one call ?” “Yes, sir, one gintleman.” “What did he say ?” “He axed me was yer Honor in.” “Well, what did you tell him ?” “Sure, and I gave him a quivikle an swer.” “How was that ?” “I axed him was his grandmother a monkey.” NO. 16.
