Marriage Riot ti»e Ounliicks of' Existence. There is another difference in the woof of a Waverly novel from the cobweb of a modern one, which depends on Scott’s larger view of human life. Marriage is by no means, in his conception of man and woman, the most important business of their existence; nor love the only reward to be proposed to their virtue or exertion. It is not, in his reading of the laws of Providence, a necessity that virtue should, either by love or any other external blessing, be rewarded at all; and marriage is in all cases thought of as a constituent of the happiness of life, but not as its only interests, still less its only aim. And upon analyzing with some care the motives of his principal stories, we shall often find that the love in them is merely a light by which the sterner features of character are to be irradiated, and that the marriage of the hero is as subordinate to the main bent of the story as Henry V.’s courtship of Katherine is to the battle of Agincourt,— John Ruskin, in Nineteenth Century.

The fireworks on last Saturday evening were the source of no little amusement, but the delight of the farmers knew no bounds, when W. G. Spencer explained to them the workings and advantages of the Willoughby Patent Gum Spring Grain Drill. It was just what has been wanting years and years, and at last he has secured it at no greater cost than a common iron-feed grain drill. Listen, while he gives you eight reasons why you should purchase the M illoughby Patent Gum Spring Grain Drill: 1. It has a Rubber Feed, which will distribute the grain evenly and not allow it to pass out in lumps. 2. It will not crack or break the grain, as every other drill made will do. 3. It has the Timothy Sower in the rear, causing it to fall evenly and not allowing the plows to cover it too deep as in some cases. 4. You can arrange the plows in any position. 5. It is light and durable, weight less than two-thirds that of any other drill. 6. It cannot wear out. 7. It is a force feed. 8. The amount to the acre can be regulated without disarranging any of the gearing or even getting off your seat. . _ Come and examine it sod satisfy yourself, for satisfaction is guaranteed or the Drill to be returned at our ex-, pense.
