"It it better to love * then to Barry a man that out never love. This is a short a long sermon," says some wise woman, and a writer in the Time* continues: "We do ; MopoM to tire any one with a lour upon it* This weather i« din- worthy to be endured at any sea- A few words on the text are A loveless marriage is much fbr « woman in every way than a man. In the first place woman the credit, whether she deserves it not, of being much more refined, of sssing much more delicacy and seu- ibility than the "stronger sex.** Be­ ing thus higher, her degradation, when It comes, is much more thorough and terrible. Few things can conduce to this result in a greater degree than the constant and intimate relation of mar- lied life with a man whom she does not /love. We have heard refined young %omen speak with disgust , of the tMnerses* shown in the conversation of .©!«wi of their married lady acquaint­ ances, and In many cases have traced riMe disagreeable trait back to its cause --a well known loveless wedded life. Then again, perhaps the woman who marries for support, for a home, an es­ tablishment, or because she has never JoVed any one* and fears that the pres­ ent will be her last chance, (dreadful thought,) afterward meets some one whom she can and does love. The re­ sult If foreseen, either a life spent in the terrible effort to subdue an unhap­ py passion, or the divorce court. After All, the good old Quaker custom is best, due deliberation and reflection before •ntering into the married state. Har­ rying in haste to repent at leisure is very fashsonable nowadays, but it is a fashion which can be profitable or pleasant only to the lawyers, and not to them if they have any pity for the unhappy victims of ante-nuptial fool- and post-nuptial misery.1* v- * ! j Every Day Brings Something New m - iS- mCHMONC ̂ ILL.

The Orleans princes are reported to be On the eve of renouncing all pretentions to the throne. Such renunciation will •imply be an evidence that hope of restoration has passed away, and that the fight has been narrowed down to a •troggle between the Republicans and Bonapmrwst s. What the upshot of such struggle will be the shrewdest ob­ servers have already predicted. There will in all probability be a coup d'etat mid after the smoke has cleared away we shall find Napolean IT on the throne of France.
