Romani ic Marriage.— Tne New
Orleans Picayune, ol the 18th instant,
lias the following: A few days since
a weli dressed and handsome ycuth, <.f
some eighteen years of age, appeared
before one of our city magistrates and
asked if he could engage his services
•o perform a marital ceremony. The
reply was in the affirmative, and the
young man left, hut shortly afterward
returned, accompanied by a sombre-
looking female, middle aged, and dress
ed in black.
•Is this lady your mother ?’ inquired
the magistrate. *
‘Oh, uo, sir; this is the.lady I desire
io marry P replied the youth, as the la
dy drew aside her veil, disclosing a
countenance wrinkled and sere, but on
which for the moment gleamed a sort
of ioy smile.
‘Indee I.’
‘Oh yes, sir.’
‘But are you of age ?’
•Not yet; but this lady is my guar
dian.’
‘And she gives her consent?’
‘Yes, sir.’
The magistrate was in a quandary.
—He didn’t know exactly what to do.
He bated to sacrifice the youth, and
join the bright-faced May to the gloo
my, icy December.
‘Isn’t this rather a strange Union ?,
he askt d.
‘Not at all,’ replied the expectant
bride. I have a large amount of pro
perty which I de.-ure to leave this
young man. As I have relatives vv.io
might dispute the will were I t.v give
it to him as a legacy, I prefer to marry
him.
‘And you are content to marry this
woman for her money ?’ asked the jus
tice.
‘Well I shouldn’t marry her for any
thing else!’ frankly replied the boy
lover. ‘She ain’t pretty.’
And without more ado the ceremo
ny was concluded.
Book and Job work, of all kindSj
PROMPTLY AND NFATLY EXECUTES
AT THIS OFFICII.
While an Ohio regiment was sta
tioned in Mayrland, a number of ne
groes came into camp, where they found
encouragement enough to remain, as
long as the officers in command could
make it appear that they were innocent
of any knowledge of them. Among
the number at one time, was one of a
very religious turn of mind, being a
member of the denomination of Chris
tians known as Methodists. On being
asked by one the officers if he could
read, he said:
‘No, I can’t read, I knows a heap
mo 1 ob de Bible than some as can.’
‘What do you know, Bill ?’ inquired
the officer. ‘You brag a great deal.
I’m afraid you are something of a hum
bug. Let us hear something you
know.’
‘Well,’ said Bill, ‘dou’t you find dis
yer in the book: ‘Bressed am de peace
makers,’ ‘Servants obey your masters,’
‘Let ebery man’ bide in the same cal
lin’ he was called in.’ I know a heap
mo’ ob de same sort.’
‘Pretty well done,’ said the officer,
‘but how is this Bill? Yon say you
believe the Bible is the book of God ?’
‘Sartin’ ‘sure I does. Der ain’t no
mistake ’bout dat.’
‘Well, you repeat from it: ‘Let
every man abide in the same calling
wherein lie is called.’ How do you
reconcile tnat with your running away
and hiding in camp? How do yoq
explain this, I want to know ?’
‘Well.’ said Bill, after a moment^
pause, ‘I’ll tel! you what I’bleve ’bout
dat. I b’leve now some secesh wrote
dat are passage and kind o’ smuggled
it in when de boss was’t lookin’.’

It is a safer thingenny time tu follow
a man’s advance than his example.
When we arc more anxious to please
than tew be pfeazed, then we are in
love in good arnest.
Hunting after health iz like hunting
after fleas—the more voq hunt them
the more they flea.
If virtue did not so often manage to
make herself replusive, vice would not
be half so attraktivre.
Love iz like the meaz’es; we kant
have it but wunsr, and the Jater in life
we have it, the luffer it goes with us.
I think the hali’t of people take az
much earn fort jy bragging over their
misfortunes az they do ov their good
luck.
If men are honest they will tell yu
that their suckcess in life iz more of a
wonder tew them than it 15 to yu.
The man who kant find any 7 virtu in
the human heart, haz pro.bably given
us a faithful sinopsiss ov his own.
It don’t show good judgment to be
surprised at enny thing in this world,
fur there iz nothing more certain tbau
uncertainty.
I don’t think that Fortune has got
enny favorites; she was born blit d ;
and I notis them who win the oftemst
go ii blind, too.
I have uotised one thing—that the
most virtewous and di.-kreet folks we
have amongst us are those who have
eithef not futsburns at all, or very tame
ones; it i^,a greate deal eazier tew be
a dove than a decent serpent.
Ludicrous Scene at a Funeral.—
An Iowa paper says:. ‘At the funeral
of a young man in Des Moines recently,
the services for the dead took place at
the dwelling of the paresis. Alter a
most pathetic address, which brought
tears from all the young ladies present,
the minister inquired if any of the
dear fiiends of Hie deceased, wished tc
say anything on this solemn occasion.
A stranger here stepped forward, and,
aftpr expressing sympathy with the
friends ot the deceased, remarked that
the ways of Pi evidence were inscruta
ble, and, in this connection, he wished
to mention that he was agent for a first-
rate article of hair vigor 'fur the State
of Iowa. The corpse had used it for
yeais with great advantage, and he
confidently recommended it, especially
to the minister aud undertaker-present,
as he perceived they, were both pain
fully bald. ‘Shake the bottle, gentle
men, and rub the mutter well in with a
stiff brush,’ said he. At this stage of
the proceedings a slightdisturbauoe oc
cured, and the hair vigor man disap
peared.’
The Paris Reveille has a longd scrip-
tiou of a terrible engine of destruction,
which, it says, is of the power of fifty
mitrailleuses. It states that it pours
out a continual stream of bullets to the
distance of about six fundred yards,
withuot noise, fire, or smoke, ana can
be hauled about as easily as an ordina
ry steam fire engine. At the same
time, it is incomparably cheaper than
engines using powder, far, while it can

Having demonstrated to our minds,
by ‘facts and figuers,’ the corrupt
sqaundering of the public treasury
Bullock and bis myrmidons, shall we
fold our arms quietly and look on with
i indifference and allow another Radi
cal success without efforts, to. avert it?
Being cognizant of the wasteful and
criminal extravagance of Radical rulej
shall we make no effort to route tha
enemies of Georgia, who fatten and
batten by plundering the public trea
sury? Knowing that continued power
in the hands of the Radical party will
reduce the Slate to financial bankrupt
cy, shall we, the Democratic tax-payers
of Georgia, a.low them an easy success
in the pending campaign?
But a few weeks now intervene be
tween this and ihe election. It is high
time the true people, those who are in
terested in the prosperity of the State—:
si ould throw off the damning lethergy
which set ms to pervade throughout the
State. Let us t mulate the glorious ex
ample of Alabama Democracy. We
can do so successfully if we will. If
we make not the effort, then we shall
dtserve the political damnation Radical
rule may entail.
Georgians, arouse, awake, and sleep
not over your interests 1 Be men—be
Democrats-sr-and unite in a grand and
overwhelming effort to hurl the plun-
deters and robbers from place, and re
deem Georgia from further disgrace.-^

A Happy Thought.—The physic
cal appea ance of a man sometimes
changes the current of events. A
case occurred a few days ago in Front
Street. The children of two neigh
boring families bad their daily quarrels
and fights, which resulted occasionally,
in bruised faces and tern garments.
The father of one family tel ev.ng his
children to have been sadly maltreated,
and being a passionate man, concluded
that the surest way to settle the differ
ences between their households per-,
manenily, would be to chastise the,
head of the other family, although as.
yet he had never seen him. He there
upon procured a raw-hide, and, ab-*
rupulv entering bis neighbor’s tene
ment, inquired in a threatening tone
for ‘the man of the house.’
‘I am here, sir,’ saida personage of
upward of six feet, and weighing some
220 pounds, as he approached to learn
the business of his neighbor.
‘Did I understand you that you were
the mao of the house.?’
‘Yes, sir.’
‘Well, I—I just dropped in,, sir, to
see if this is vonr raw-hide ’
Josh Billings bus this advice for
those misguided females who go about
seeking their rights? ‘Eve, yuregratist
grandmother, committed a mistake, a
good deal bigger than the one which,
you arc anxious lew commit, but there
iz a remote similarity in the mistakes.
She wanted tew know aud hand in awl
that was a going on, and the Devil of
fered tew teach her, and y«.u have
heared what the result waz. Mi ad
vise tew yu iz tew stay right ware yu
are; yu have a power now that never
kan be less if you bold on to it, but if
you spit on your bands to git a better
holt you may loss your grip entirely.’
An eccentric though very excellent
clergyman of New England gave na-
tioe at the close of the service one Sun*
day, that he expeated to go on a mis- *
stun to the heathens during the ensuing
week. Alarmed and sorrow stricken
at the prog; ect of losing their beloved
pastor, tbe members of the church
gathered around him, and one of the
deacons, in great agitation, exclaimed 2.
‘What- shall we do?’ ‘Oh, brother C—
said ttie minister, with great app%rep$
ease, ‘I don’t expect to go out of town.
