MARRIAGE.

o"He quaint and s1ucy fellow, who chooS..
es that his name shall be "Alfred Crowoull..
Esq" has been saying great many imper-'
;tinent things Of and concerning marriage
We select few" Just to see how far the
fellow will Co." as the girl said when her low
er kissed her mouth
Marriage under any circumstances is a.
very ticklish affair.
When the contracting parties do not hit
their horses they frequently hit each other.
and then it is most disagreeable affair.
When they do harmonize, and one is the
echo-the veritable reflection of the others
thoughts, smiles and feelings, anticipating
affair.
When happy couple display their affec'
lions ny pats, taps. and little pinches before
company-it is very ridiculous affair.
When the husband throws out aggravating,
insinuations. and the excited spouse like Kan
lippe Of old, throws ten pot at her lord and
masters head. it is horrible affair.
When the lady rules the roost, and wears
the inexpreSsible look Of tyrannical com.
mand. and the gentleman tacitly yields fol
her usnrping and unnatural way-it is pitt.
able affair.
When the husband is not content with the.
sweets of the flower he has culled, but flies
abroad, and, like the busy bee, goes slipping
and gathering honey from every opening
Hower.'-it is O lamentable affair.
Where the lady, forgeiful of her vows Of
consistency and love, bolts with q pair Of
black whiskers, and ditto military boots-it
is very naughty affair.
Taking MI these reflections in considera-
ton. il must incontestiblv appear that-mar-
riage is a very serious affair. And as marri-
ages are said to be made in beaven,we should
advise every candidate not to tie the knot be-
fore he obtains duly authenticated certifi-.
cste Of the original contract!
The science Of baking is peculiarly En-
glisll. and would appear to have an influence
even upon the softer sex; for no sooner does
n suffer show fight than the lady and her
relatives simultaneously demand a ring!'--
Mercy on the poor fellow who engages with
his fair antagonist!
A tyrant is detestable; but that yielding
piece Of clay called a soft husband is only
ridiculous. He has frequently to boast the
honor Of having been wooed by the lady be-
fore marriage. and invariably ruled by Her
afterwards. He generally falls to the lot of a
shrew-not being naturally shrewd enough
to avoid the insidious pitfall cunningiy laid
to cntrap him.
Marriage is like roast leg of mutton on
Sunday-served up cold on Monday-ditto
with pickle on Tuesday-and hashed up on
Wednesday.
Marriage is the sunshine of life; beneath it's
genial influence spring up the best affections
and the noblcst virtues of man, which in the
sferility Of selfish celibacy would have lain
dormant and useless. II il the source Of vir.
tuous pie ,sure in youth; the balm and solaco
of old ag'.
A cd wife il, in fine priceless jewel;
for rs Solomon truly says, 'She opens her
mouth with wisdom. and in her tongue is the
law of kindness; she looketh well to the ways
of her husband, and eateth not the bread Of
idleness her children rise up and call her
blessed her husband also praisefh her.
Marriace-By jingo! here comes my ado
rable wife mum mum!
