Marriage should be founded upon sub~ well M I J hePIo V# n^plro*— a friend ship which bib faith and can eudure re-» bit ft 8. j For marriage to (be most congenial souls is not made of a bod of rosea. We are distinct individual*, each ol us; we are surrouuded by a.wall of impervious personality and Hie iastinct of aell pres« ervation is such that we repel 100 close a contact. No Matter bow dearly a uian and a womati may love each other, (bey are obliged to become accustomed to living bide by side, and several years by 'mingled light and shadow frequently pass before tbe process of assimilatiou has advanced so far that, they can enjoy each other. There will be seasons wheu hatred seems substituted for love. If Maria has « 4nub nose, John will become a veritable Greek In bis critical approci> at ion of beatify and it will seem to him i that he cannot eudure that' offending 1 member iu bis wife's countenance; while Alalia, on the contrary, grows unduly all to Wohu's demeanor, , apjwiu-ahce, and.behtoior,laid eveu asks herself why she never noticed certain Miings about him before. They may qven indulge in "sqnabble*"—there is no otfesr trivial matters. Fbey will enter depths ot domestic depravity, existence ot. which they never dreamed*, aud and do tblngs.ao ill bred that they would b usli if an outsider could behold tliem. They may break their hearts a thousand limes, and wish they had uever married, and yet, if they truly love each other, the lime will oome when the wares will cease rolling, the skies will smile, and liymen's torch will shed a mellow lustre over all their after-life. A happy itaaVrtage. -requires pneeas ing growth iu both parties, Love is uot a possession » hicb slays necessarily by reason of the first seizure. A woman need not blame a man because be loses his passiou lor her, if she has takou no paius to keep it alive, and a mau, if he is deprived hirwife. usually has him self for the theft. Many wo* men' feel aggrieved because tbeir-hus bands cease to be lovers after marriage, 1 but they do not reflect how much rea son there frequently is for su-:h a change. Before marriage a man seeks his love with a sense of inspiration. She is to him a glimpse of hidden possibilities, a miracle of undiscovered virtues. He uever «eeks her without the hope of sees tug soitae now grace uuloldetl, aud there fore every thing ehe does or says, even though!it be only CUe motion of her hand, fie accept sasilew proof ot tbe de licious-friction of bia Joy. But after marriage his idol ;s no longer new and uutried; he knows her, he has counted , over aH her virtues, lie feels as though there were, nothing more for bim to gain; and if be is reiuforced in this cons viction by the behavior of his spouse, he naturally loses interest iu her. This slate of things is equally true ol tbe wile, though in a less pronounced degree, for as tbe husband's passiou was stronger before marriage, so its reaction is more Speedykafter Hs consummation. Befu • marriage the husband did tbe wooin » hai altar that it must done nest, the bWSmig of4(lpMfcitual hearth fire which is to keep the hearth of bus* band and children soft aud warm, it tbe girls aniT the mothers who bring I beta up would only stop to consider tbe unpalatable truth that the woman's eud GRAHAM, N. C., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1881. of the marital yoke is inucli hardet to j to aopport than the man's there would be! letrer disappointed aud unbappy mar riages. A man through his buaiueca connec tion? mingles oonstautlr with Ihe wojJJ; he meets fresh phases of life at Ivory step, sees strange people, hears ot odd occurrences and ana Us peeled develop* menu of ciroumsianCee. His brain is ever on tho alert, ever iu use, though it may not be u very bri(iiaiii br # active brain, and he is forced to advance and learn constantly, Now.whtnhe goes home, what especial pleasure is it to him to be met by u listless, fl>»ccid wo man, who has beeu seated all. day with her feet upon' a boti-air register, With no Ireshcr experiences to inspire her than tho»o she' may gain frbm a French ndv el?—a womuu.who has no hearty inters est for anything, who does not oven un derstand liar own children and their neeils, Who cannot pnt warmth iuto the kiss with which ehe greets him. There are men. who would not be good husbands under any 3rrcyiiistaiiap3> and mauy ineu who are good linsbunds in the main, hare tanks which tho bestof wives cannot dii'ercoiqe, because arts brediu.them by ihetinequal (>ositioiiof the sexes, aud their consequent impressions regarding womaa. But (He average man will fulfill )|ie half of marital prevfilad ihe will aoeomplish hers, lor the wife is a possession which selfishness prompts him to value. - ( Tbe woman ttfco wishes to keep the atmospliere ot her homo vlgoroua Ls not necessarily intellectual but she ia ncces* sarily active and alive to many interests. There is no especial virtue in domestic labor, uuless it is rendered pressing by narrow meaus, but it is much better for a woman to make firee aud eweep than to sit aud do nothing. Her effort should be alwayftin spins wy to keep apace wittrhe; husband and children, to .that they do not find her, as a rule, duli and Übspontaueoua; to form her opinions np« on » ground work of common sense, so (hat (hey will not deserve (be anathema ot 'womau's reasons.'ln short, it is as much a woman's lousiness as a man's to work and live in aii active existence of some kind, aud if she passes ber days in a listless and idea«le»s indolet.ee, she must not complain If her husband seems coM, and if bar children grow up out leeling in any good direction tbe ef fect of the motherly influence and care. How Ken Become Insane. The Hermit of ibe Troy limes writes: A large number of lunatics iu our asy lum# are the viptiins of tboir own mil couduct. Almost any man cau make himself a lunatic it he pursue the direct method. There are hundreds and "pjr* baps I hnmsafKla in tide cil* driving litems elves to madness. Gambling, speculation, bard drinking will undeterroine the strongest intellects. A young man ot my acquaintance has lately been sent to Bioouiiiigdale Asylum, who was a lew years ago so promising as to obtaiu an important appointment. He abused his positiou, wasted a large salary, became suddenly a gambler, and a rako as welt as a defaulter. Such a course of vice de stroyed bis reason, aud be is oue of the incurables. The same idea is advanced by Hogarth, who finished the "Hake's Progress" by the seeue in the madshouse. During the last five years large numbers have beeu carried to the asylum, the victims uf speculatiun. The leye of pleasure and ' Ibe haste to get rich have done a tearful worlc. After the intellect has been over* driveiViti iquit sink, and perhaps remaiu in hopeless prostration. It may be ad* ded that the increase of inaauttjr since the-opeiring of the present year is of uns paralleled degree. More than five bun* dred oases bave been reported during this brief interval, and hence it is not surprising that the asylums are more tlian full. The attention of tho public bas boon called to this subject by thf *pross, and additional room must be provided. We must either abate thai fnrioas in temperance whhh is driving 90 many tu madness or we must double our asylumt-1 ail through the Stale. A TAB HEEL ON I'OST. —It was a N. at last who weeded the row at Yorktown. There he ituod a* sentry in bis butternut clothing with orders to Jet no on 4 pass without giving the couu*. tersign. One fallow approached and sought to pass -but the tar heal cava down wijth bis bayonet and demajufed the countersign, tbe fellow handed opt two or three old countersigns, but they would not do, then he showed fight and said to tlie tar heel bedurned if he wouldn't paaa auy way. Then allowed the.grit in tbe old tar State. The eenti. nrl throwing down his gun began to shu:k liia eoat JMring jwlmdid so; "I wooHskootyftuTior I stick ye, but yon ainWr passfn' here without me to whip I" and at him he want with fists doubled and in bis shirt sleeves, and the stranger retired in good order. Some of the Danville Grays witnessed the whole thing and regret that they didn't find ont the name of tbe tar heel sentry. Who was he? —JieidtviUe Times, Work and Long Hoars. TlWhe Is no direoso so insidious, nor . when folly developed so difficult to cure, as that species ol nervous degeneiaiion or exhaustion produced by uivlit work or long hoars, it U easy lo understand how such ft state or prostration may be induced. The brain and nervous system hnve been Tery aptly compared lo * ga'vanic battery ill constant nse to provide a supply of electric fluid tor •ousumjitiou within a given tlhie. 'As long,' sa\s a recent writer, 'as supply and rieman.l are fairly balanced, the functions which owe their regular and correct working to 'the fluid are car lied on with procison; but whew, by fit. lui and excctsivo demands carried for beyond tho means of supply, the balance is not only lost, but the machine Itself Is overstrained and iilfured dinorder at first'and disease after ward ato the re* suit. This illustrates pretty clearly tl.e condition of a well balanced brain and nervous system', supplying without all effort all the nervous force required lit the operation of tho mind and body, so long as its work is iii proportion to its powers, bat If embarrassed by excessive demands, feebly and filially endedvorlug to curty otilhcßo mental aud physical* oieratioiis over which is fwrneny prdW' sided withdqt an effort.' The Syinptoitfs lof Abhrods ptostratlon are exceedingly painfttl; we cab afford to pity even the man of pleasure, who baa by his bwu foolish conduct produced them, but much more so the brain who has been burning the midnight oil in the honest endeavor tb support himself, and Krobabl'y a witetfud family With respect uilU/Jn life. Me ha* uwde a mistake, for Which w6 &u Krtwllly forgive him.'

' Probably the first sign of failing ner vous energy is given by some of the large organs of tho body, it may be tunqtiuual 'derangemeut of the heart, with fluUeriug or palpitation or inter mittent puise, aud Ehortness of breath in ascetidiug stairs or walking quickly.

This latter would be a very serious symptom indeed, for in qleep not only are Ihe'mttsetilav and nervous tis sues restored and strengthened, but iherd Is, for the time being a testation 1 of waste itself; aud if Sleep bo essential to the ordinary lieaUhy rpuu, U ij, much more so to' whose mental labilities have been over tasted.

It is a fearful thing to give a child the ho, to nooune him of stealing, to accustom hint to unexpected und unmerited blows and cuffs. He may merit punishment, but the wise parent never will admit into the household voeabo'ary the terrible words "liar" and "thief," and will nev«r permit in himself or ethera the hasty blow, the bitter taunt, the atinging epithet. The refined and educated parent can never tolerate such language as wc have indirated. B'tUr words are more cruel than bloWa and fidlict more lasting injuries.

To such a lesson in self-deni al and economy is very important. As go the boy'a pennies and dimes, so very likely, will go t|ie rnau's dollars and hun dreds by and by.
