MaRRIAGE.-We were somewhat startled
the other day, on hearing young lady de-
clare that rather than be an old maid, she
would have the first person that wonld offer
himself, even though in daliauce in the lap
of dissipation. How little did she think Of
the misery that might attend her future ex-
istence, if unfortunate in her choice. We
fear that sentiments such as these, are too
prevalent in the present age. Marriage is
sometimes made transaction very slight,
and based on too sudden an impulse of
feeling. The partnership is formed to-day
and dissolved tomorrow. We have made
these few remarks in the hope that they
NAV elicit the serious attention Of such as
NAV be interested, trusting that before they
make use Of the monosyllable yes, when the
question is proposed, that they will think of
il, and be impressed with the consideration,
that it is better to live in single blessed
ness" than be the slave Of being whose
feelings have been blunted by the giddy
and enerva,ing indulgence Of bad passions
or habits. II this precau,ion be observed,
!, canno, fail TO strengthen domestic happi-
pess.

'SndkG in Wdn's St0mdch.--Durng the
last four or five years, we are informed Mr..
Marshall Edison, mot Calvin of Greenwich,
fifteen miles from Barre, Mass. became ai-
nictcd with ain internal disorder, the cause
of which he nor his physicians could salts
fac,orly account for, until recently. Mr..
Edison was n skeleton in appearance, aud
although from the commencement Of his
disease he had a constantly increasing. un-
heard of appetite, and deyourcd an immense
quantity of luxurious alimcnt, it by no means
had the effect as it does upon aldermen, to
make him grow fat. Aboit three weeks
since, council Of physicians was held over
himI who decided that there WAS SOME kind
Of living animal Within his body---some Of
thcm thought it a snake, and the others,
TINT it was some other animal. At any rate
they all with one accord decided that the
man should totally abstain from every kind
Of nourishmeEt for eight days, that being
the only alternative between life and death.
On the sth day, pan of milk was placed
on the floor, and Mr.. Edison was tnken by
the heels and held over il. Very soon the
head of black snake was discovered max
ing his way out Of his mouth to the milk,
and began to lap the luscious beverage. 1t
was Immediately drawn from the throat of
the ngonized man, and killed, measuring
eighteen inches in length. Mr.. Edson is
now rcgaining his health Barre Gaz.

lie has no doubt:
At some town in New Jersey two French
men got into warm dispute which finally
ended in blows. One was traveller,
resident in New-York, the other resided in

The RAr.--The Rev. Mr.. Terryman, a
clergyman in Sussex, and'an accu,e obser-
yer of nature informed me that some fifty
years ago, when the old English rat was
numerous, he resided at Quorn in Leices-
tershire. Walking out in some meadows
one evening, he observed great lumber of
rats in the net of migrating from one place
to another, which it is known they are in
the habit of doiag occasionally. lie stood
perfectly still, and the whole assemblagc
passed close to him. His astonishment
however was great, when he saw amongst
the number an old blind rat, which held a
piece of stick at one end in its mouth, while
another rat had hold of the other end of il,
and thus conducted his blind companion.
