So good was he that I take this opportunity of making a cor.fessron which I have often Lad upon my bps, but have hesitated to make from fear of drawing upon myself the fear of every married woman. But now I will run the risk so now for it some time or other people must unburden their hearts. I confess, then, that I never find a man more loveal !e or cultivating than when be is a married man. A man is never so handsome as when he is a husband, and the father cf a family, supporting in his manly arms, wife and children, and the whole domestic circle, which, on his entrance to t;i3 married state, close around h tn and constitute part cf his heme and world. He is not merely ennobled by his position, but be is beautified by it then Ire apj ears to me as a crown of creation; and it is only such a man as this that is dangercus to me, and with whom I am inclined to fall in love.

The usual process of love-making invo'ves the practice cf iVssimu!at:ou v, hereby x;"thsir.. ds -ewe each 1'cr tastes; approves her sentiments; comjditnorts her intellectual endowments; thinks her form, features, and motion made of pcrfeci ion; is sure that she possesses the sweet est disposition in the world; can set that she is artless, it ger.uous, and free from affectation ami is ready to see that, although they have embraced widely different and conflicting rehgious faiths, hers is just as likely to be the true ot.e as his, for which reason he is sure the discrepmcy of creeds will never amount to a matter of difference between them. On the other hand, she leaves the wayvardnoss of her disposition, her irratabiktv f temper, her crabbed answers, and her discouttcous uej-orlmeut ai the family sittingrotn; pots on with her Sabbath evening, S-Iksr flouitces, furbelows and jewels; a full vrcath of the vo.y swtotest smiles; modesty ' uat 'poeen of female lyveiiue.-?, with her at- , tenda..t graces, sits upon her countenance I and regulates every motion; her voice be- ! come . melody itself; and she appears in all respects a perfect metatiiori-hote of her eery day self. When he assumes a tone of humilitv and confesses w ith more truth than candor, that he has in his moral composition some of the imj erfeclions incidental to this rudimental sjdrere of human existence, she rep-els every self-impeaching insinuation by a negative shake of her pendant tr-.c-ses, and ly an imi!oring look, which appeals to him to spare the idol of her heart's fondest affections from such uncharitable and improbable imputations. Thus they go on, mutually deceiving each other and being deceived, until they blindly consummate a legal and physical union, in which reason, discernment, common scsso and wise forecast take no part. They have not allowed themselves the use of those faculties which nature provides them to guard against deceptions, discover realities and estimate the probable consequences in all the circumstances and relations of life. They have in their efforts to deceive each other, fatally to their happiness, deceived themselves, aud merited the long life of jmnishrncnt which is sure to follow. Let us drop the curiam over the scenes w hich follow the delights of a short-lived honeymoon, in which matrimony unveils the we'll disguised frailties, ascerbities and peeancies of their natures, when smiles are exchanged for frowns, endearments for querulousnes.s, fault-findings, accusations, crimiuatioi s and recriminations, daiiy differences and hourly ftouts and sr.aopishiresa, il going to prove that they are radically inharmonious, without nalural congeniality, and totally unsuitcd to ca-h other; aud that the opportunities which they should havo improved to ascertain the truth of each other's intellectual and moral qualities, were fooled away iu hypocritical endeavors to aj'i-ear what they were not. Now all that is left of them whereby to redeem themselves from the ears of perpetual r.'.rifc and nvnery,

which they have incurred by their labors to entrap each ether into the snare of matrimony, is repentant submission to merited nffietion, and to adopt such a system of self cultivation as will render them in reality what they affected to beat the commencement of their operations. By these means, and by these oti'y, can they render the connubial relations and united life endurable. Those who do use these remedies may still be happy. Those who do not will become more and more wretched, till death or separation rdteve them from their legal obligation the former cf which is far preferable iu all casts. Working and IJe-tin;?. Labor is honorable, but there is such a thing as too much of it labor that profiteth not and causeth only weariness and vexation of spirit. It is welt to do with our might v; hat our hands find to do, and to turn to good account ail the facilities in our reach for laying by "something for a rainy

Labor is the prelude to rest and rest is the prep aration for labor, and he who labors so severely that he cannot rest, and he who rests to him, are botn unprofitable servants. Xow that the thermometer oscii'.atc-s between 85 and 105 degree -, labor, however honorable, is decidedly inconvenient. Men who have been laboring since the winter so:stice, aigh fr "a lodge in some vast w.lie"lcss." atld vUh iaoni5nS and evening fci j ome abatement of their impcritive duties. but there are those whose necessities are so great that they cannot rest merchants and j stoe.-o.oKfis i.img on prospective incomes, ; a,ui d;iro "'ot leave their posts, lest some j fluctuation in the market should send them : sooner by a year "high and dry upon the : road-stock, who cannot afford a fortnight's lesouo iici.il tiieir inuur wuca luo nay-nar-vest is over. These men would be entitled to our pity were it not that they are laboring to satify ficticious wants. If we wish to labor less and rest more, we must content : ourselves with less of the stiperiluitirs of life, and modulate our exjenses to our means. An English w it said very falsely, that choking our wants to avoid gratifying them, is like cutting off our feet to avoid shoeing them. It is necessary to siioc two feet, but j too many undertake to sujqly coverings for several other pedal attachments which might be amputated without any detriment to comfort or rapidity of locomotion. To adopt the lauguago of the New York Times: "The true philosojdiy for us is to molify our extravagant desires to tutor our wants , k:to submission to our ability as far as may ! he, to accustom our children to habits of ' simplicity in dress and diet, to put the un.te to the throat ol (a.duo.i, if ever we got her away from her influential worshipers, and to cultivate the intellectual aud moral I powers, which as they grow cause these more expensive animal wants to grow feeble and die out. Let us make all our money pay us interest, as well as, or even rather than, be the principal for our children to squander. Lot it make us more cheerful, contented, benevolent and benifieeut. Let it make us better citizens; worthier images of our Maker. When we can dress so well that those who meet us can never remember bow wo are dressed; have enough of good, wholesome, relish able food, comfortable homes, enough ahead to secure an age of ease, and enough in hand after paung current expenses, to pay up our annual premium on our life insurance policy, which will keep the widow in funds and school the children, wc are about as well off as if we had a trunk full of bonds and a safe full cf deeds." The man who is so unmerciful to himself as to undertake to do the work of two years in one, and thereby shortens his life, kills himself outright, is guilty of injustice to himself, to his family, if not of the crime of suicide. We should study to combine working and resting bo a to retain our full jiovver of body and mind. The condition of the galley slave is preferable to that of a man who, led on by an over-reaching ambition, labors till life has no pleasures, and then makes a final wreck of body, mind, heat i, soal aud fortune.

Heautiful Apostrophe to the IJible. Yi'e would be pleased to know the author oftliu following most eloquent apostrophe to the Bible. It ajpears to be addressed to young men. We have seldom read anything finer: "Study row to be wise; and in all your gcttings get understanding. And especially would I urge upon your heart-bound, soulwrapt attention that book upon which all feelings are concentrated, all opinions which enligh.ens the judgement, while it enlist.-; the

sentiments, and soothes the i in agination in songs upon the harp cf the "sweet soi.gd.er of Israel.''

"Cat stories" and "dog stories" are getting to be. very common in these days. Almost every editor has a few hi- way of spice. So we put in for our turn. Being in a butehcr-s shop, a few davs since, and seeing a large dog come in to' set his allowance of meat, the conversation turned upon dogs, and the following story was toll in relation to a dog in the neighborhood. The name of the owner of the dog we have forgotten, but that is no matter, the story ir; just a3 good. This gentleman gave a cent to the dog every day, and the dog went regularly to the butchers and laid down the money, and in return received a piece cf meat. One day the dog laid down the cent on the block as usual. The butcher being busy with customers did rot notice the deposit. After some time, however, seeing a eent lie there he put it in his pocket and went off about his work. The dog got tired of waiting, and went home dinnerless. The next he came again with another cent, w hich he laid before the man of meat. The allowance of maat was cut off and handed to the canine purchaser. But the dog, intending to have the account balanced no sooner had received the meat, than he grabbed the cent also, and cleared out. That was a sharp dog, and one that intoned to "look out for number one." He could be trusted to make a bargain, and, we dare say, could cany on a speculation in provision quite as well as some curs who do not number but half his amount of legs. Olive Unwcli. Interesting to Young Lames. She stood beside the altar, w hen she was sixteen. She was in love; her destiny rested ou a creature in fashionable clothes, with an emjty pocket, lie came of a good family, and blood, you know, is something. She looked lively as she pronounced the vow. Think of a vow from auburn hair, dark eyes, pouting lips, only sixteen years old! She stood beside the wash tub when her twenty-fifth birthday arrived. The hair, the eyes and the lips were not calculated to excite the heart. Five cross young ones are about the room, some crying and some breaking things, and one urging the necessity of an immediate supply of the lacteal secretion. She stooped in despair, and sat down, and tears trickled down her once pliimj' aud ruddy cheek. Alas! Xancy, caily marriages are not the dodge. Belter enjoy youth at home, and bold lovers at a distance, until you have muscle and heart to faco the frowning world and a family. If a chap really cares for you, he can wait two or three years, make presents, take you to concerts, and so on, until the time comes. Early marriages and early cabbages are lender productions.

Familiar XossessE. How many phrases are there in common use that seem to mean something, but mean nothing whatever. We call lawyers, for example, "ge.itb .- men of the long robe;" yet whoever saw a lawyer in anything of the kind. Vfe say Judge so or so, "wears the judicial ermine," with dignity, when he docs not wear any ermine at all. We have seen newspaper rejiorts cf a new ship's "gliding gracefully into iier native element," when all the world know's that a ship's native element It Eo tha sea but the shore. Vv'e are told of the the way the tragic actors wore the "sock" and the comic actcr, the "buskin," and yet who ever saw either of them wear them on. the stage? Gentlemen partial to good living when we have it said are "fond of the bottle," it is the contents of that vessel and not th vessel itself they so dearly love. "The jurybox" ia no box at all, nor doe3 any court we ever saw, sit on a "bench." And what w o would inquire, what do the poet? and romancers mean by saying "the sex," -'-hen aktnbeg to tlm ladifs, as if we were no sex at all?

To give it credit and to avoid an evil that had attended the previous circulation, a resolution vv.n passed in the Legislature requesting the Secretary of the Treasury of the United Stater, to receive its notes into the land offices in payment for the public lands. When this resolution was jmt to vote in the Senate, the old French Lieut. Governor, Col. Menard, presiding over that body, did up the harness as follows: "Gentlemen of de Senate, it is moved and seconded did de notes of dis bank be made land office money. All in favor cf dut motion, say Aye; ail against it say Mo. It is decided in de affirmative. And new ! gentlemen, bet yon one hundred dollars Is ' never Is mcde land office morn;." The cctrnty of Menard, on the Sangamon river, was j named in honor cf him; and the name ctl i not have been more worthily bestowed.
