Marriage is a fair transaction on the face ov it. But there iz quite too often put up jobs in it. It is an old instilushion, older than the pyramids, and as phull of hyrogli- phics, that nobody can parse. History hold# its tongue who the pair waz who fu*t put on the silken harness, and promised to work kind it, thru thick and thin, up hill and down, and on the level, rain or shine, sur vive or perish, sink or swim, drown or float. But whoever they waz, they must have made a good thing out ov it, or so menny of their posterity would not hev harnessed up and drove out. There is a grate moral grip to mar riage ; it is the rnortar that holds the soshul bricks together. But there ain’t but darn few pholks who put their money in matrimony who could set down and give a good written opinyun why un earth they cum to did it. This is a grate proof that it is one uv them natral kind of acksidents that must happen, jist as birds fly out of the nest when they hev fethers enuflf, with out being able tew tell why. Sum marry for buty, and never dis- kover their mistake ; this iz lucky. Sum macry for pedigree, and leel big for six months, and then very sen sibly come tew the conclusion that pedigree aint no belter than skim milk. Sum marry bekawse they hev bin highsted sum where else ; this iz a cross match, a hay and a sorrel; pride may make it endurable Sum marry for love, without a cent in their pocket, nor a friend in the world, nor a drop of pedigree. This looks desperate, but it iz the strength of the game. If marrying for love ain’t a success, then matrimony is a ded beet. Sum marry betause they think wim- min will be scarce next year, and live to wonder how the crop holds out. Sutn marry tew get rid ol themselves and diskover that the game waz one that two could play at and neither win. Sum ma*"ry the second time to get even, and find it a gambling game, the more they put down the less they take up- Sum marry lew be happy, and not finding it, wonder where all the hap piness goes tew when it dies. Sum marry, they can’t tell why, and live, they can’t tell how. Almost everybody gets married, and it is a good joke. Sum marry iri haste, and thenjsit down and think it carefully over. Sum think it over carefully fust and then set down and marry. Both ways are right if they can hit the mark. Sum marry rakes to This is a little risky and missionary to do it. Sum marry coquetts. buying a poor farm heavily mortgaged and working the balance of your days to clear oph the debt. Married life haz its chances, and this is just what gives it its flavor. Ev- erbody luvs to phool with the chances, because everbody expekts lew win. But I am authorized to state that ev- erhoddy don’t win. But, after nil, married life iz full as certain az the dry goods bizziness. No man kan swear exactly where be will fetch up when he touches calico. Kno man kan tell jist what calico haz made up it3 mind lew do next. Calico don’t kno even herself. Dry goods ov all kinds iz the child ov circumsiansis. Sum never marry, but this iz jisl es risky ; the disease iz the same, with no other name to it. The man who elands on the bank shivering, and dazzent, iz more apt tew ketch cold than him who pitches hiz hed lust into the river. Thare iz but few who never marry beknuse they won't—they all hanker, and most ov them starve, with slices ol bread before them (spread on both sides), jist for the lack ov grit. Marry ynng ! iz mi motto. I hav tried it, and kno what lam talking about. If ennv boddy asks yu whi yu got married [if it needs be,] tell him yu don't recoltekt. Marriage iz a safe way lew gamble —ifyu win yu win a* pile, and if yu loze yu don’t loze ennything, only the privilege ov living dismally alone, and soaking yure own feet. I repeat it, in italicks, marry yung ! Thare iz but one good excuse for a marriage late in life, and thatizaicc- ond marriage. cogvert them, take# a smart This like The Shooting Fish.—This very remarkable fish is a native of the East Indies. Nature h>8 constructed this aquatic sportsman in a very singular manner, but one admirably adapted to his sporting predilections. The fish has a hollow, oylindrical beak. He | frequents the rivers of the sea shore iu search of food, and from the usua manner in which he provides for his daily want# he derives his name When this hungry gentleman espie# a fly or insect not taking due caie of himself, but sitting on the plant# that grow in shallow water, lie swim# a- way to the distance of four or five feet that he may take aim at his prey ; and when he lias done so- to his satisfaction he then with amazing dexterity and cleverness, ejects out of his tube-like mouth one diop of water, which i# so well directed and so swiftly shot forth that it never fails to knock the fly into the water, and once there all hope ol escape is gone—the fish darts upon his prey and eagerly devours it; thus sup plying us with another instance of the diversified inodes by which nature qualifies its countless millions of crea tures with the powers necessary lor procuring food. Female Beanly and Ornaments. The ladies of Japan gild their teeth ; and those of the Indies paint them red. The pearl of the teeth must be died black to be beautiful in Guserat. In Greenland the woman color their faces with blue and yellow. However fresh the complexion of a Muscovite may be, she would think herself very ugly if she was not plastered over with paint. The Chinese mu«t have their feet as diminutive as those ofthe she-goat; and to render them thus, their youth is pasted in tortures. In ancient Persia an aquiline nose was often thought wor thy of the crown ; and if there was any competition between two princes, the people generall went by this criterion of majesty. In some countries, the mothers break the noses of their chil dren ; and in others press the head be tween two boards, that it may become square. The modern Persians have a strong aversion to red hair; the Turks, on the'contrary, are warm admirers of it. The female Hottentot receives from the hand of her lover, not silks nor wreaths of flowers, but warm guts and reeking tripe, to dress herself with enviable ornaments. * In China, small round eyes are liked ; and the girls are continually plucking their eyebrows, that they may he thin and long. The Turkish women dip a gold brush in the tincture of a b ack drug, which they pass over their eye brows. It is too visible by day, but looks shining by night. They tinge their nails with a rose color. An Af rican beauty' must have small eyes, thick lips, a large Hal nose, and a skin beautifully black. The Emperor of Monomotapa would not change his amiable negress for the most brilliant European beauty. An ornament lor the nose appears, to us, perfectly unnecessary. The Pe ruvians, however, think otherwise; and they hang on it a weighty ring, the thickness of which is proportioned by the rank of their husbands; The cus tom of boring it, as our ladies do their ears, is very common in several nations. Through the perforations are hung va rious materials ; such as green crystal, gold, stones, a single and sometimes a great number of gold rings. This is rather troublesome to them in blowing their noses ; and the fact is, as some have informed us, that the Indian la dies never perform this veiy useful op eration. The female head-dress is carried, in some countries, to singular extrava gance. The Chinese fair carries on her head the figure of a certain bird. his bird is composed of copper or gold, according to the quality of the persons; the wings spread out, fall over the front of the head-dress, and conceal the temples. The tail, long and open.forrr.s a beautiful tuft of feath ers. The back covers the top of the nose ; the neck is fastened to the body of the artificial animal by a spring, that it may more freely play and tumble, at the slightest motion. The extravagance of the Myantses is far more ridiculous than the above. They carry on their heads a slight board, rather longer than a foot, and about six inches broad ; with which they cover their hair, and seal it with wax. They cannot lie clown or lean, without keeping the neck straight; and the country being very woody, it ie not uncommon to find them with their head-dress entangled in the trees.— Whenever they comb their hair, they pass an hour by the fire in melting the wax ; but this combing is only per formed once or twice a year. The inhabitants of the land of Natal wear caps or bonnets, from six to ten inches high, composed of the fat of ox en. They then gradually anoint the head with purer greese, which mixing with the hair, fastens these bonnets for their lives.—D' Israeli's Curiosities of Literature. “257 Degrees Below Zero.—We have very liltl# idea of the extraordin ary low temperatuee express by 257° below zero, yet such a degree of cold has been attained by the exposure to air of liquified laughing-gas. Let us begin at about blood-heatand oieep down the scale toward 257° be low zero, and see if we can realize the fearful degree of cold which is thus in dicated. This is the proposition of a writer in tfie Manufacturer and Builder : “Human existence requires a tempera ture in the neighborhood of 10U° above Zero a temperature which is easily maintained however, by the chemical action;going on in the system,whenev er the external atmosphere does not sink below 60 deg. above zero. When the teuqieratiire falls below 60 deg. the animal carries on a conttnu d fight lor the maintenance of its notmal tem perature. At 32 deg. above, the con it St becomes most energetic, warm clothing is called into requisition, and, if the air be agitated by keen win the clothing must lie warm and the lu- 'el (food) liberal, or the animal will suf fer. When the temperature sinks to zero, even on a dry, still day, there are few persons that do not feel it keenly, and if any wind should be stirring, ugh ! how cold it i3. But, keenly tho’ we feel it, we have just begun to de scend the scale. . “Let us lake a leap down to 40 deg. below zero. The mercury in our ther mometers will now congeal, and, it we find it necessary to expose ourselves, we must encase ourselves in triple lay ers of lur. Descend to 80 deg. below zero—this is lower than any natural temperature ever observed—and it is improbable that human life could be long sustained in such an .atmosphere. At six degrees below this point carbon ic acid becomes a liquid, and the breath of our nostrils would liquify and fall to the ground in streams. At 130 deg. below zero, if such a temperature could be produced over a large area, what strange phenomena would present themselves ! The air would be dry— dryer than the summer dust—for all moisture would have been precipitated in the form of snow. No animal could breath such air, and if plants could live and perform their functions at such a low temperature, they could find no sustenance in an atmosphere as cold as this, for all the carbonic acid would descend to the earth as beautiful white snow. “The breath from the nostrils of ev ery animal, provided animals could ex ist, would yield a shower of these flakes and the air w’ould be entirely purified from the products of respiration. And yet we are halfway down to the point indicated by the experiments of Natter- er in his fruitless attempts to liquify hydrogen. Bill to Enforce the Provision# of tHe Fifteenth Amendment. The following is the text of the bill to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment as passed by both Houses of Congress and signed by the President: An Act to enforce the rights of citizens ofthe United States to vote in the several Slates of this Union and for other purposes.
