Best recipe for Cooks.-To make Match
Catch young gentleman and lady; the best
you can, let the young gentleman be raw, and
the young lady quite tender. Set the gentle
man at the dinner table-put in good quantity
of wine, and whilst he is soaking, stick in
word or two every now and then about Miss i;
this will help TO make him boil When getting
red in the gills take him out in the drawing
room, set him by the lady, and sop them both
with green tea-then set them at the Piano
and blow the fame till the lady sings, when
you hear the gentleman sigh, it is time to take
them off, as they are warm enough. Put them
by themselves in the corner of the room on a
sofa, and there let them simper together the
rest of the evening. Repeat this three or four
times, taking care to place them side by side
at dinncr, and they will be ready for mar
riage whenever you want them. After mar
riage great care must be taken, as they are very
apt to turn sour.

Matrimonial Schems.-A recent traveller in
the United States, gave a curious account of a
matrimonial scheme which was formed there
with beneficial effects, however singular il
may seem:
"On the 22d Of December last,n says he, 81
was passing through the State Of S. Carolina,
and in the evening arrived in the suburbs ofthe
town Of, where had an acquaintance on
whom called; was quickly informed that the
family was invited to wedding in neighbor-
ing house; and on being requested, changed
my clothes and went with them. As soon as
the young couple were married, the company
was seated and profound silence ensued. A
young lawyer then arose, and addressed the
company very eIoquently; and in finishing his
discourse, begged leave to offer new scheme
of Matrimony, which he believed, would be ben
eficial, and on obtaining leave, he proposed
"Ihat one man in the company should be cleo
ted President, should be duly sworn TO keep
entirely secret, all the communications that
should be forwarded to him, in his official de-
partment that night; and that each unmarried
gentleman or lady should write his or her name
upon piece Of paper, and under it the name
of the person they wished to marry; then to
hand it to the President for inspection, and if
any gentleman and lady had reciprocally cho-
sen each other, the President was to inform
each Of the fact; and those who had not been
reciprocally in their choice kept entirely secret.
safer the appointment Of the President, COM
munications were accordingly handed up to
the chair, and it was found that twelve young
gentlemen and ladies had made reciprocal choi.
ces; but whom they chose remained q secret to
all but themselves and the President. The con,
versation changed, and the company respec
lively retired.
Snow hear the conclusion, was passing
Through the same place on the l4th of March
following, and was informed that eleven of the
twelve matches had been solemnized; and the
Iyoung gentlemen of eight couples ofthe clever
had declared that their diffidence was so great
that they certainly should not have addressed
their respective wives, if the above scheme hat
not been introduced"
