have been enjoying this season OF festivi.
ty, thank their lucky stars that they were
not born during the time OF our ancestors,
(say, couple of centuries ago,)-when
Purilanical austerity converted the obser-
vance of the Christmas Holidays into a
penal offence, punishable oy the laws OF
the colony. The following extract is
taken from the laws Of the colony Of Mas
sachusetls, in 1851:
whatsoever shall be found observing
any such day as Christmas and the like,
either by forbearing labor, feasting or in
any other way, upon such an account as
aforesaid, every such person, so offending,
shall pay for such offence five shilllngs,
as fine to the county,"

Ono OF the absurd aflectationv Of mod.
ern, would-be delicscy, il the style which
some editors have adopted within fsw
years past, in announcing marriages., By
substituting and for TO, thus;
Married-ln Buffalo, by Rev. Mr..
Pound,ext, Richard Roe, Esq, and Miss
Dorothy Doe.
Now we submit that, although Rich.
ard and Dorothy may both have been
married il does rot follow that they wevs
married TO each other, nor does this an !.
nunclation stale that they were. We
have been at loss for any reason for
this change, blu. we now learn from tho
Albany Journal that the Buffalo CONNER
cial Advertiser. a paper which has adop-
ted the new mode, gives US ressop, that
the old way Of announcing the marriage
OF gentleman 10 . lady .s disrespec,iul
to the latter.
10 the name Of Hvmcn and Vessa. We
ask what is there speciful 10 q wo-
man. or lady if you please, in the On.
nouncemeni that she is married to . res.
pecisble man.
The Albany Journal proposes that the
announcement be made as follows:
Marrioge-By the Rev. X. r., 1Mr.
A. r. Nth Miss C. d.
This the Spy properly rejects % clum.
sy, but adds :-"By this mode you may
guess at some meaning. and therefore
some dlsrespect may be surmised."
Now we can by TO means see in this
announcement any OF the disfespect spok.
en- oil. We do not guess at but plainly
discover some meaning, and that, Just
the meaning intended TO be conveyed.--
What does all this nonsense spring from I
Is marriage honorable among men. or r.
il not? Fit be, how then can q simple
announcement OF il be any way disres-
pestful or indicate.
This much as to the delicacy. heaven
save the mark, Of this matter now a. 10
the proprieiy of these different modes.--
They are all wrong. Ii is neither yieh1
10 say Married. Mr.. A. TO Miss b.. nor
Mr.. A. and Miss b., nor Mr.. A. scitk
Miss b. The proper announcement &.
Married, Miss B. to Mr.. A.
Inc man is not married 10 The woman.
but the woman to tho man. Nothing Of
me mans state is nor should be merged
40 marriage, Blu, OF the woman's there il
aud should be. The man changes Meth.
or position nor name. the woman does
both; therefore i: is proper to say that
ihs woman is married 10 the man and moi
the man TO the woman.
The same etiquette demands this, which
demands that Senator should be pre-
scented to President. or a Duke 10 l
King. instead Of a President 10 a Senator.

1 want to get married heigho!
Iwant to get married, but how
Shall get me u husband to suit
Nice men are scarcity now,
With tops in abundance TO boot
And when the census was taken,
All there Ills alarming again!

By thousands we'er more than tho men,
want to get married, heigho.
want to get married don't you'll
Vet always pretend the reverse;
IT'S lone to live single, 'tis true,
To die IN old maid 10 much worse!
But what's to be done on the scoref
I'm not getting aged just yes,
I'm twenty-f-, no matter what more
Yet somehow OF other fret.
want to get married, neisAo!
want to get married, heisho.
Yet lovers really get monet
Some smile and look silly. but no.
They never propose. no! not one
It's true, I've had offers, but now
repent the refusals made
dread the ides-Oh how
Can live 10 die nm old maid I
want to get married, heigho!
