Emerson, the man who nev er smiled, was & cold calcula ting philosopher, and was wedded 4o his own thoughts rather than to woman. He said ; ' Is not marriage an open question, for such as are in the institution wish to get out, and such as are out wish to get in?" A poet can disguise his heart, aud it is a comfort for woman to know that the greatest and purest and best of them have paid hoinage and tribute to the marriage relation. But the man aud the woman must be mated as well as ' married. It is the tnis'uatiug that brings so muah discredit, ana seeps the yauug 'men lrom proposing. They are afraid to venture more afraid than the women. I have known many a girl to keep her lover in tow, Dai at a re spectful distance, hoping for a better catch. After a while she accepts him as a last resort. t'Ol Staosel told me today of a young married woman who some years ago came to him to procure a uivorce. as sue was very reticent about stating her grounds and asking to be sep- erated, he encouraged her by reading over the various things thai the law expressed, but she said no to all of them. When he pressed her for a reason, she blushed and said she had mar ried him for fifty, but found out he was seventy-four. The poOr thing had been tempted by his property to throw her self away, but he tightened his grip, and she was neither an old man's darling or a young man's slave. How sadly romant ic was Sam Houston's marriage. He was a great man, a grand man ; the governor of Tennes' see, tne inena 01 Anurew Jackson. He married a beauti ful and lovely woman, and had every reason in the world to be happy, but shortly after their union, he observed that she was nqt happy, and on pressing her gently for a cause, she told him frankly that she had married him through pique that she had another lover whom sbe had discarded without just &nse, and her heart was break ing.. Houston never upbraided her. but in a few days kissed her a farewell, and left her for ever. He wrote her from the Cherokee nation to sue for a divorce, as he had abandoned her.- She did so, and was mar ried to her love the day the divorce was granted. Houston married Miss Lee, of Alabama, afterwird, with whom he lived moat hapily, and they were blessed with a flock of good children. But tieing and untieing are very different things. The one isrglad and the ether is sad ; very sad. There is no gloom uton earth as dark as that which hangs over broken vows. It brings a cankering, corrod log sorrow that preys upon the heart and ends only in death Our people have Ion been blest with comparative fre dom from the flood of divorces that overrun the north. 111! nols has only twice ourpopula tion, but twelve times the number of divorces, and it Is nearly as bad-in all the north em states.

An English money-lending company has estaolisnea an agency in Chatlotte, and is already doing considerable business- It now has' about thirty morgages . recorded in the office of the register of deeds.

This is good news for Statesville and for tbe wheat growers of the Burround ipg country. Statesville Laud- mark. IRON MINING. The Danbury rceporter states that several parties from Vir ginia and West Virginia have been in that locality recently looking up the iron properties and report themselves well pleased with the result of their investigations. It is said that some of the iron which they inspected is superior in quality to the Cranberry ores, although not found in such quantity The existence of numerous iron deposits in Stokes county has long been known. The . only question to be solved is, wheth er the ore supply is of such quantity as to justify the erec tion of smelting works. This is yet an uasettled question,but if it should be affirmative de cided the day is not far dis tant when the iron industry in the neighborhqod ' of Danbury will become one of large pro portions. But whether this be so or not, if the steel works be established in Greensboro which now seems to be accept ed as a certainty, there is no reason why, with the short dis tance the ores will have to be transported, that iron mining should not become a paying industry and these iron proper ties come into active demand.

BRIQHTEB PROSPECTS FOB AGRI CULTURE 1 ' The period has arrived in the history of agriculture in Texas when the brightest and most, talented young men of our cities are investing in farm lands with a view of devoting their brairwand energies to making comfortable rural homes. . Young men are not rushing into oar cities as : formerly, hoping to find life more pleas ant and success more sure. The reason for this change is ap parent: The farmer is making his home more comfortable and cheery, and the budding man hood and womanhood familiar with old scenes of their child hood, are not inclined to desert pleasant surroundings for a life perhaps of adventure among strangers. It is a healthful sign of the times to observe this. Com f ortable farm homes will make happier homes and more young men farmers. The allurements of city life will cease and our young men will ceek homes in the country and build up our waste and neglected lands. The farm welcomes the young man of brains, of skill, of.education: it wants young . men who will take pride in their calling and who will devote their best tal ent to improving their codition and building up the State.

"The Sub-Treasury plau pro poses, briefly, thathe goernf ment take the farmers staple crops into its warehouses arm issue to him negotiable cert ticates to eighs ty per cent of the -value ofbia pro ducts. With no charges but the bare expense of storage aud insur ance, crop is kept there one year In that time the . farmer sells it, month by mouth, simply letting supply keep up with the demand This will regulate prices and prex vent corners. It will breakup all this speculation which ha encourag ed by tbe present system." "In the tail and winter, when the farmer has" to sell, money is scarce and coru and wheat are low, In spring and summer, when be has to buy, money is sheap and that makes provisions high. -The prese&t enr renp.y.of inflexible 'volume force the farmer to sell cheap and bny at high prices. By the Sub-Treasury plan the currancy would be ex panded as the srop comes in and retired as tte crop is mo: keted.," "With us," said Col.
