As a monk was as cending the rostrum one St. Stephen's day to preach a sermon in praise of that saint, the officiating priests, fearing that the holy lather would be somewhat long-winded, whispered in his ear a petition that he would shorten his discourse. The monk gravely entered the pulpit, and after a short exhortation, he addressed his auditors : "Aly brethren, this lime twelve months ago I told you all which could be said concerning this saint. As 1 have not learned that he has done anything new since that time, I have nothing to add to what I then related.7 A Bird Law. Like a contributor to the State Agricultural Journal we advocate the passage of a stringent law prohibiting the killing of birds for a certain period, or the limitation of such killing to certain months. Soon all of our beautiful singers and useful auxiliaries in the war with in sects will be gone. They should be re tained. Let the sportsman be restrained, and these little feathered friends will not be lost to our forests and fields. The Leg islature should enact a rigorous bird law. "Wilmington Star.

JAMES HART i OCTOBER 19, 1874. Activity Leads to Happiness. We should all live more healthful, more useful and longer lives, did we so employ our activities to extract from them that en joyment which is their natural and legiti mate result. Let every one be sure that, if his work is toilsome, arduous and depress ing, there is something wrong ; some of his faculties are restained, while others are overburdened ; some ot his powers are ex hausted- while others are dormant. It is not rest so much as change that he needs not to lay down his work and fold his hands in idleness, but rather to embrace other fields of act ion, hitherto untrodden. It will - - - . . .... 11a 1 doubtless be difficult to apply tins to au uie details of practical life, but we shall have gained one important step towards it, it . 4 i 1 l 1.1 . 1. . K we appreciate ana nrmiy noiu iu mw num, that real happiness can only be attained by activity of mind and body, and the more fully and harmoniously all our powers are exercised, the fuller will be our life, and the more real enjoyment will it yield. Sheep Raisin i tr We find the following paragraph credited o the Fredericksburg, Va., Herald : "The subiect being up for discussion be fore the Woodlawn (Fairfax) Agricultural Club. Mr Walsh was called on to give his experience as to the profitableness of sheep n r 1XT ! il A. I A 1 aising. lur . saia mat iasu iau pui- chased fifty ewes for $187. He had on land at the time ten sheep, including a pure Cotswold buck. This season he has sold wool, lambs and fat sheep, to the amount of 500, and had on hand forty sheep, includ ing his bucks, rour ot his ewes produced wool, lambs and mutton to the value of 880. He keeps a large dog, which protects his flock from other dogs." We reproduce this item, not for the bene fit of this particular section of the btate, but for those parts where sheep may be more profitably raised. The figures speak an emphatic language. We hope our up country friends who raise sheep will thank God and take courage because one man has given the business a fair trial and made a success. The raising of sheep costs less than any other industry we know of. They require little or no feeding Irom hand, or other care. Wilmington Star.

Two Kinds. There are two kinds of crirls : one is the kind that .appears best abroad, the girls that are good for parties, visits, ball, &c., and whose chief delight is in such thinsrs. lhe other is the kind that appears best at home, the girls that are use lul ana cneermi in tne dining room, tne sick room, and all the precincts of home. I hey differ widely in character. One is frequent ly a torment at home : the other a blessing. One is a moth, consuming everything about her; the other is a sunbeam, inspiring life and crladness all alonr the pathway. Now it does not necessarily follow that there shall be two classes of cirls. The richt modification would modify both a little, and unite their characters in one. -- If there is one man on this conti nent that ousrht to feel tinder obligations to the Southern people it is U.

Judging the future by the past, we enter with confidence upon this our new enterprise of sepa rating our "Wholesale from our Retail Trade, by having a separate and distinct House ; and in do ins: so we flatter ourselves that it will not only meet the approval of our numerous customers, but that an exclusive Wholesale House will bring us a larsre influx of new trade, and that of a character not heretofore enioved. It must be obvious to every buyer that a strictly Wholesale House, arranged and adapted for that Trade only, with a corps of experienced Wholesale Salesmen, with a Stock carefully selected for that Trade only, and moreover, the avoidance of com ing in contact with retail buyers, which we and you all have heretofore found so irksome, as it ire quently happens that the retail buyer is your very neishbor. (nerhaps your own customer). Such a house, we assert, must and will commend itself to the trade. We now call your attention to the fact that we have converted our superb store into an exclusive Wholesale House, where j-ou can find all lines of goods necessary for a country store, to-wit : Dry UOUUS, VyiUlUUJg, uwis, ouuta, uaw, wnwiio, Groceries, Hardware, Millinery, all in complete lines, bought in large qnantities and from the very first hands. Our Stock is now arriving and will be complete about the 1st of September, and will be the largest of anv here, the pretentions of others to the con- trarv notwithstanding. We respectfully invite your personal inspection, or write to us for circu , - . i jars. cry iruiy vuu, W'lTTKOWSKY & RINTELS. RETAIL. Now. a few words about that. We now occupy the superb House heretofore so favorably known as the Messrs. Brem, Brown & Co.'s Dry Goods House, to carry on our Retail business, and as "Excelsior is and always lias been our motto, we claim also in that line to excel in stock, to excel in lowntss of prices, and to excel generally. We will, in that House, have a corps of thirty Salesmen and Sales- Ladies, all experienced, anahie ana obliging. tSWe make the Millinery branch a specialty WITTKOWSKY & RINTELS TWENTY-THIRD A Diplomatic Secret. From the Chicago Tribune. Few people know how deeply indebted the United States is to. Russia for kindly Rprvices duriner the war. It has often been whtatln influence prevented the armed intervention of France, and perhaps England, in behalf of the South. We are enabled to lay before onr readers trustworthy information, never before published, in support of the truth oi this rumor. When Gov. Curtin, on the eve of his. return to this country, went, m his capacity as minister to Russia, to take brmal leave of the Jimperor, me latter closed the conversation substantially in these words : "I wish, sir, that you would, upon your return, express our hearty thanks to the American people for the re ception they have given my son, the Grand Duke Alexis." lins, it win ue remem bered, was shortly after Gen. Grant had refused to return Alexis' call, and the lat ter had left Washington in disgust. Gov. Curtin noticed the Emperor's failure to spnd thanks to the government as well as the people. He supposed, however, that ! i i: f Until tllfl "RlTI- press bade him larewell in almost precisely I. J? . . .il the same words. "I shall be hanDV he id "to carrv vour maiestv's thanks to mv government and people." "1 sent my 7 - J J ,, thanks, sir." the Empress retorted, "to the neoi)le and only to the people." Gov. Curtin afterward complained of the slight that, had thus been Tjubliclv nut upon the government he represented. lie was in - - i j 4 . vited bv Gortschakoti to a conference on the subiect. Three books were brought in from the archives of the foreign office. Thp first contained an autograph letter from Napoleon III, asking Russia to join with England and France in breaking up the Federal blockade and guaranteeing the independence of the Confederacy. lhe Affnn ncoAvfnH that K:nrHiTifl hnrl n rpfl.ir 7nA i,D .norotmn xch'ioh m nrob- JhW a Hp. The second book contained the Emperor's reply. He flatly declined the alliance proposed by Napoleon, and de- dared that, in the European interference in the war. Russia would actively aid the North. The third book had within it copies of the sealed orders given to the Admiral who. as our readers will remem ber, brought his fleet into New York har bor during the war. The order directed him to nroceed at once, with his whole available force, to New York City ; to re main at anchorage there for some time and, in the event ot European interference with the blockade, to put his whole force at the command of the Cabinet at Wash ington and to promise abundant and speedy reinforcements. While Gov. Curtin stared dumfounded at these unexpected proofs of steadfast fidelity to the Union cause, Gortschakoti said to him : "Perhaps you can appreciated, sir, why the Emperor and Empress sent their thanks to the people rV.rt Kqua mnnrpd t ip iimnrl Unkp A pxis nnn r.nt, to the government that has insulted him Wp rjivpi! von r eonntrv. and now your President insults our representative, tt is too much." Curtin auite agreed with him and the interview ended. We have every reason to trust the gentleman from whom we have received this story. It will probably be found true substan tially, although there may. of course, be errors in detail. An Elopement and what came of it A young man about twenty years old, living in Randolph township, limiington county, New Jersey, some months ago be came deeply attached to the daughter ot a neighboring farmer, who, although large of her age, was not fifteen years old. She re ciprocated his love, and he agreed to wait five years, or more it it was necessary, De fore wedding her; but when he made his preparation to go to an adjoining county to work she was so heartbroken that an elopement was decided upon, and meeting him agreeable to promise, agreeable to promise, they trudged seven miles to his father's house, where she was taken care ot tin the next aav, wnen they were married, the girl telling the offi- i .i.i i ciatmg alderman that sne was eighteen C7 years of age. They retnrned to the house of the groom's sister, at lladdonheld, where they were confronted bv the enraged father of the bride, armed with a warrant for the arrest of the groom for abducting his daughter. The accused was seized, taken betore a magistrate and committed to jail, from which he was hnallv bailed, lie was in dicted under the twelfth section of the law in relation to crimes, for taking away a fe male under the age of fifteen without the consent of her father. Last week the case was called for trial in the Burlington Court of Oyer before Judge Wood hull, the court room being crowded with a deeply interested crowd at the trial. The girl, in her examination, declared her love for him, and assumed her share of blame in the matter, expressing her belief in his honorable intentions, a belief in which thc spectators seemed to share. Col. G. S. Cannon, formerly State Attor- ney, made an eloquent appeal, but the judge charged the jury that the law had been vio lated, and the jury 'should not be influenced by appeals to their sympathy. The jury was out the entire night and came in several times for instructions. Finally they ren dered their verdict of guilty, united with recommendation to the mercy of the Court, As soon as the verdict was announced the young man was seized with convulsions, wnicn lasted so long tnat it was aeemea m m . -m l .1.. 1 1 best not to sentence him, and bail was ac cordingly given for his appearance at the December term.

While he is thus .. .ang ana saving n, he must earn two or three, or perhaps four times as much to pay his current expenses, lie is consequently held sternly to the task of industry for a considerable period.

One great reason why there are so many useless, inefficient, and poverty-stricken men ou earth or, rather, boys seeming to be men consists in the simple fact that they do not start. A prominent reason why the children ot the rich so frequently amount to nothing may be found in the luxury, ease and indolence wiiicii mai'Keu uie coiumeuueiueiiu ui iiieir lives.

The workers in some suitable sphere are the only really strong men in inis worm. I i it. t ii Courtship and Marriage. It ie a singular fact, says a Parisian writer, that a man generally requires very differ ent qualities in a wife from those he admires in a sweet-heart. While a lover, he expected to see his future wife neatly and stylishly dressed whenever he chose to call, either or evening, and the girl busied her little brain all day in efforts to please his taste. If he left town for a few days, he sent letters full of sweet nothings that filled her soul with joy. Then came de lightful rambles in the moonlight and hours spent in charming tete a teles after the family had retired, when the two saw no one but each other in their world of love. Alas ! that such bliss must ever be dis pelled. Time brought preparations for the approaching wedding; for this devoted couple imagined tnat tneir uappiness couiu never oe complete until the Hymeneal knot was tied. bo the wedding and honeymoon were soon over, and the parties settled into the matter-of-fact part of life. The bride knows nothing of housekeeping. Since her schooldays she has spent her time in study ing the tastes of her lover, which certainly seemed to incline towards dress and senti mentality. N ow, alas ! she discovers that his stomach demands food. of the best quality ; and be cause she knews not bow to cater to his palate his love seems to bo waning. While lie is vainly trying to appeaso hunger with sour bread and burned steak, little does be appreciate the sweet nonsense and honeyed words which used to be so satisfying to his sentimental nature. Ah, men are so unreasonable. They ex pect to find every quality of excellence in the woman they marry, yet have not pene tration sufficient to choose the most worthy. To shine in society, to exhibit every fem- inine accomplishment, both at home and abroad, are duties which they require, in the woman they marry, and what have they to give in return ? It seems impossible that those delicate attentions which character ized the lover should be so withdrawn by the husband. The other day when I heard a neighbor demanding his dinner in not the most pleas- ant tone, I thought, "Can it be possible that he ever played the ardent lover to that pale, dejected woman, whom he calls his wife ?" The lover who could scarcely tear himself away from his sweetheart at midnight is the same man who now leaves his wife to spend her evenings as best she may, while he passes the hours in doubtful enjoyment. Ah I how soon men forget the solemn vow to love and cherish till death I And how many women regret that the charming delusions of conrtship were ever exchanged for the unpleasant realities of marriage.
