MARRIAGE OUTRIcHr.--In one Of the upper
countries OF the State Of North Carolina,
young fellow named Ben Sykes, had courled
far one tor some years, but either was not
ready or willing to put the question; she was
July wIlling--perhaps too willing-but he never
came to the scratch. At last she 90, mad, and
said she would marry Bill Patterson, ifhe ever
courted her again. Bill on hearing Of this dc.
termination, went once more and put in his
claim; he was scurvy fellow in some things,
and neither ma'am' nor dad were wiling toit.
SO he secretly goes to b, got a license
and that night made off for Gretna squire.
In their road to happiness, however, who should
they meet but Ben Sykes. He had got an ink.
ling OF what was going on, and when he met
them, understood how the case lay.
"Saly," says he, ~ fooled you, that's fact,
and l'm sorry it. But If you still prefer me
to Bill Patterson, just say so, and | will give
hun thrashng take his license, and old Moo.
dy shall marry US tonight"
The old love was too strong for the new !.
Ben gave Bill thrashing, took his gal, and
| (wha' he hated more) his license, which cost
h'm 70 cents, and was off with his plumber to
Moody's. The old squire did not SO well un.
derstand how one man could be married of 4
license granted to another. Ben said he did
not himself understand law bubbles, but this
ne did know, that unless he did il, he Uhe

nough for Moody, who, without more ado, pro.
nounced them man and wife.
! CURIOUS PHENOMENON AT SEA.-We learn
from Capt "A. Croker, of the ship North
Bend, from Batavia, that he met with singular
phenomenon while on his passage to thus por,.
II appears that about the 2Olh of October,
when in lat. IL ~, Ion. 3S. W., great number
| Of grass hoppers aghted on the deck and sails
OF the ship and also at sea. They continued
hoverIng about the vessel for two or three con.
secutive days, and then dissppe AIRED. Il was
supposed, from appearances, that there must
have been thousands il not millions, within tho
space of few miles. They were like ths
Of this section Of the world except
in color, and that diffsred only in shade-those
seen at sea having been of deeper red.
Who can explain this phenomenon! Il was
an extraordinary one; for these insects seldom
" more than hundred yards at time. In
he above instance they were seen seven hun.
lred miles at sea. II is thought tbs, they were
arrled TO that distance by hurricane into the
higher currents Of the air, and then falling into

AN AFFECTIONATE SPIRIT.

i We sometimes meet with men who seem to
think that any indulgence in an affeciionate feel
ing is weakness. They will return from Jour.
ney and greet their families with distant dig
nifty, and move among their children with the
cold lofty splendor Of an iceberg. surrounded
with its broken fragments. There 10 hardly a
more unnatural sight on earth than one Of these
families without heart.
| Afather had better extingnish the b,y's ewes
than to take away his heart. Who that has
experienced the JOYS Of friendship, and knows
the worth ofsympathy and affection, would no,
rather lose all that is beautiful 10 nature's scene.
ry, than to be robbed of the hidden treasures Of
his heart! Who would not rather follow his
child to the grave than TO entomb his parental
affection! Cherish then your hearts best at.
fections. Indulge in the warm and gushing
emotions Of faI, parental, and fraternal love.
Think it not weakness. God is love.-Loys
God, love every body, and every thing that is
lovely. Teach your children TO love; to love
the rose, TO love the Robin, to love their PARENTS
to love their God. Let it be the studied object
Of their domestic culture, TO give them warm
hearts, ardent affections. Bind your whole
family together by these strong cords. You
cannot make them too numerous You cannot
make them too strong. Religion is love-love
to God-love TO man.
