C., THURSDAY, MAY 10, ver, XV. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION, BY MRS. GEORGE WASHINGTON WYLLys. The latest outcry about matrimony is that people can’t afford it. Young men find the = 80 ems | expensive. You see, a fel- ow might as well sport a pair of fast horses as afast wife. Both very nice things, no doubt —for those that can afford them. If it didn’t cost so much, a pretty wife would rather add to one’s importance—say nothing of keeping the stockings in order, and gettin, up nice little dinners and: tempting breakfasts. But then, between the opera boxes, poke-bonnets, diamond broaches and brocade dresses that the sweet creatures require, there wouldn’t be a thread of broadcloth left of any unfortunate chap. A wife needs 2 new dress forty times a year, and a horse don’t—that’s the philosophy of the matter. Oh, yes! matrimony’s deci- edly a fine thing, but too expensive by half. Ladies must really learn to haul in their ex- penditures a little, if they expect to avoid being old s. This is what the delightful young creatures whom society calls “ eligible ntlemen,”” glory in exclaiming on every possible and im- possible eccasion. But haven't the ladies a word or two to say on the same subject ? ““Marry Augustus Jones? (Out of the ques- tion entirely. Not but what he’s a nice young man enough—whiskers just the right color, and @ positive genius at flute playing. But, you see, there are other things which it's a woman's duty to consider. Can I afford it? Can [ reasonably expect, with owr income, to keep him in peg-top trowsers and ivory headed canes’ Can I keep his cologne bottle filled, znd his segar case supplied with the best Colorados ? Who's to {vot his little bills for his champagne and oyster suppers? Who's to &o to parties with him, headache or no head- ache, whenever he feels like society, and stay meekly at home to read the paper and sing to him whenever he don’t? Am 1, who could never hold my tongue for two consecutive min- utes ata time, to open and shut my mouth only at the sovereign bidding of my husband ” Aw I, whose greatest pleasure in life is in ask- ing questions, to hold my tongue when he comes in late at night, and never to find oat who gave him that dear little sprig of Helio- trope? Am I, who've always been brought up to believe that eyes were made to be used, never to look at a beaver hat without being frightened out of a year’s growth by Augus- tus’s indignant diatribes’? [ tell you I can’t eftord it. No, sir, am not going to put my dear little foot into it, without a clear under- standing on the subject. If the gentlemen will put themselves on a stated allowance of tobacco and trowsers—if ? will spend just so much on wines and politcal betting—we girls might, serene save seme of ’em from being snuffy helors. Otherwise—no! Who cares if we are old maids—I mean if we do live to become 25 years old without getting married? We havea pretty fair chance of liv- ing in peace twenty-five more. which isn’t the case if we are fastened to extravagant husbands Don't think I mean to be severe Augustus—I wouldn't hurt your feelings for the world. Only my dear little man, you are so “‘fast.”” Don’t you think it would be a more manly life for you to be splitting wood and carrying water for your mamma, instead of serewing LF bg eye- lass at the girlson Broadway ell-regu- fated girls would be twice as apt to like you. And wouldn't it be a better plan for you to be reading Cornell's Geography by the back part jor fire than driving on the Bloomingdale road? Depend upon it, your chance for a good home, under the protection of a sensible wife, would be a dozen to one greater. Nice, rosy-cheeked girls can't afford to throw themselves away on miserable milk-and-water, lancer-dancing, white-handed, good-for-nothing jack-a-dan like you! You are an expensive ar , Au- gustus, and you won’t wash and wear. That's our way of looking at the matter.— Life Illustrated. ree ta Robert Davis wanted 2 place ina family in England, so he offered as a reference a mun arporting to be named Maitlend, and to have ean the master of the said Robert; the tended former employer gave an excellent character, and the man was engaged by Mr. Smith. He had-no sooner entered on his duties than he ascertained that a servant girl in the same house had £200 in the bank, and imme- diately began to make earnest love to her She believed him to be an honest single man, when he was really a married knave, and thus fell into his trap. The bans were pub- lished, the day was fixed for the wedding; for- tunately for her, however, Robert thought he better opening—he robbed his master’s piate-chest, and made off with the booty. He ‘was soon apprehended and punished. Then it was discovered that the pretended Mr. Mait- land, who had given the latter eo excellent a ebaracter, had none of his own, nor even did the name he had taken belongtohim. Ac- cordingly he was arrested. Before sing sentence, the Jadge said : “‘ It is manifest you are one of those dangerous pests to soviety who live by supplying characters to servants of both sexes a are themselves unable to get them in a honest and legitimate way;'’ and then fined bim £20, which, unable to psy. he is working out in as all the parties lost their characters, and some of them their liberty.

Knox and Malloni have shown, by very exact. observations, that there is heat in the moon’s rays. Zantadeschi A ; tion by has diseovered that this heat produces a sensi- thecontrary, attare ble effect upon the mimosa. An English philos- opher has found that the earth is colder during the first quarter of the moon than it is in the second. Upon hpi agers of plants the moon exercises a remarkable influence. The chemical action of light is necessary to their principal work, the absorption of carbon from the earbonic acid gas of the atmosphere. This work all plants carry on during the day, and in the night they sleep—except when the moon shines. She wakes them and sets them at work. So the farmers who plant only just be- fore the fall moon are right, and the scoffers who call them superstitious are themselves the foolish ones. For, if sown before or hear new moon the young plants got above ground just at the full, when the tender things need sleep. But if sown just before the full, they come up about new moon, pass their baby- hood under the soothing influences of their dark THOUSANDS soergy tothe whole Guipine in THE BowELs anD Winp Couic, overcome con CHEL- feom teething from any of ¢ PREJUDICE: if timely weed.

And to make us still more at home on the moon, De la Rive, the owner of the Observatory at Crawford, near London, gives it as his opinion, that what were at first marked down as seas, and afterward supposed to be barren plains, are, in fact, extensive for- este. In support of this, comes up a great astronomic authority, Schawhe, the discoverer of the periodic times of the sun’s spots. Besides these great smooth plains, which were called seas, there are a number of furrows or wrinkles, nearly a hundred, the nature of which was entirely unknown. Their length va- ries from 3 to 35 miles, and their greatest breadth is about 5,000 feet; most of them are eonsiderably narrower. Their sides are parallel and smooth; some run in straight lines, and some are gently curved. (Ordinarily they are separate, but sometimes they cross each other: often they cross craters, but occasionally they seem to be cutoff by them. They are found all over the surface of the moon, except on the @*ooT & BURROUG ‘Haye recent! laok Crape Marstz>, Dei: ich fie’d and neat Barag. rinted Chal Alexandre’ id Gi i aed Lense M Linen Cambric Handkfs, White Cambrios, Musing, And Dimuities of ail kind: GRAY Cottons, Sheetyngs, Tabi assortment of Gents and We Invite the att-ntion of « and Suminer Goods. lete assortment MP EMBROIDER Hs, No, 119 Bridge street, Georsetown, received from the by obtain desirable and cheap goods, a first rate as- surtment of the newest atyle LADIES’ DRESS GOODS, Chene and Foulard and Cheek Bi’k Siiks, Challies, Worsted jaines and Bombozines, 28, Barage Robes, Ovgandies and Robes in great variety, = Summer Poplins, Angiais Barages and Poil de res, tiliiants, Jaoonets, Lawns And Ginzhams, i iter: Prénoh Chintaes nnd Eng.
