COURTSHIP AND MARRIAGE.

The difference between courtship and mar
rage was never more forcibly explained than
in the following Charcoal Sketch, by Neal,
of Philadelphia
'What made you get married, if you don't
like it %
"Why was deluded into it-fairly deluded
i had nothing to do of evenings, so | went a
courting Now courting's fun enough
havn't gotta word to say agin counting. It's
about as good way of killing an evening as
| know of. Wash your face, put on clean
dicky, and 60 and talk as sweet as sugar OF
molasses candy for an hour Or two-to say
nothing of a few kisses behind the door,
as your sweetheart goes to the step with you.
"When was sing lie man, the world Wag-
ged along well enough. 1t was just like an
omnibus; | was passenger, paid my levy,
and hadn't nothing more to do with it, but sit
down and not care a button for anything,
'Sposin' the omnibus got upsot-well, walks
off, and leaves the man to pick UP the pieces.
But then | must take wife and be hanged to
me. It's all very we'll for while; but after
wards it's plaguy like owning an upset omnl~
bus %
''Nan !'' queried Montezuma-''w whats all
that about omnibusses r'
"What did get by it - continued Cana
liel, regardless of the interruption. How
much fun? why, a jawing old woman and
three squallers. Mighty different from cour-
ting that is What's the fun of buying things
to eat and things to wear for them, and was
ting good spreeing money on such nonsense
for other people? And then, as for doing
what you like there's no such thing. You
can't clear out; when peoples owing you so
much money you can't stay convenient. NO;
the nappe's must have you. You can't go on
a spree, for when YOU come home, missus
kicks up the devils delight You cant teach
her better manners-for constabes are as thick
as biackberrles. In short, you can't do potb-
ing. Instead OF yes, my duck and mo, my
dear;' Fas you please, honey, and when you
like, lovely like it was IN counting time, It's
darning and mending, and nothing ever
darned and mended. If it wasn't that | am
particularly sober, I'd be inclined 10 drink
it's excuse enough. It's heart breaking, and
it's all owing to that have such pain in my
giZzard OF a morning. Pm so miserable,
must stop and sit on the steps"
"'What's the matter now p
'Fm getting aggravated. My wifes sa
vim critter-a sword of sharpness-she cuts
the throat OF my felicity, stabs my happiness
chops up my comforts, and ships up all my
Sunday go-to meeting, to make jackets tor The
boys-she gives all the wittals to the children
to make me spry and jump about like lamp
lighter can't stand it-myt troubles are over
towering when | come to add 'em up"
ooh, nonsence! behave nice-don't make
a noice in the street.-the manH'
How can be a man, when | belong Il
somebody else My hours ant my own
my money ant my OWL belong to fou
people besides myself-the old woman ant
them three children. I'm partnership con
Germ, and so many has got their fingers IN thu
till, that | must burst up. I'll break, and slgl
over the stock i'll trade to you"
Butter for the Million-In consequence 0
the high price of butter, the attention of phil
anthropc chemists has been directed to SOM
mode of affording it at cheaper rate than tina
by which it can be obtained from the COW. 4
physician in New York has made a commrni
cation to the public on this sucject of rather
curious nature s'It has furthermore beel
proved" says he, ''that butter obtained from
the cream of milk, is not animal secretons
but that it previously existed, in the pure an
original state, in the hay or food of the COW
and a skillful chemist can make more butte
out of one hundred weight of hay than GOV
| can, as the cow must appropriate Coie!u0 d
bic share of it for the uses and necessities o
her organization. Give a COW hundre'
pounds of hay, and she will render back elgh
lbs of butter, but an expert chemists can reallz
twelve OR thirteen pounds out OF it,
We shall not be surprised to hear In shol
time of the establishment of a company "to
making butter without the use of the cow
In fact, if what tie New York physician say
be true, it may become profitable specula
tion.-Chqrleston Patriot
