A Curious Case :;

Illustrating the good sense Of the adoge, Look before
yOU Lem
A few years ago a rich but eccentric old baehe-
lor Of this city to the indignation Of all his poor re-
latiOns, married his WasherWoman. She was rather
goOd-looking, but could neither read nor write
They lived together year and half, when he fell
sick and died, leaving her about five thousand dol
lars. Six months rolled by, and the widow was
still in black, when one fine morning the pOstman
brought her a letter, bearing the pOstmark of a
town in Virginia. SummOning friend who could
read, the widow found that the letter was from
gentleman who spoke of having, when on a visit to
the North met and admired her previous to her late
marriage. The writer then went on to ask a reply
to his letter, assuring her Of his unbounded esteem
and sincerity. The widow although she knew the
writer had mistaken his man. or his woman, rather
was greatly tickled, and determined with the KIND
assistance of her friend to reply. In due time
another letter came from the SOutherner, who was
over8Ved at his success. Again the widow replied,
and now the love epistes came and went almost as
thick and fast as lightning from the summer
cloud until the widow found herself on the eve Of
a second marriage without having once seen the
object of her affections, who, nevertheless had
made himself known to her as a man Of wealth and
influence. The wedding day was fixed, and the
lover, accompanied by a friend came on to claim
his bushing bride Judge Of his dismay, when he
discovered that he had, to use significant phrase,
g woke up the wrong passenger" Here was di-
lemma. After brief interview, and without COM
ing to an explanation, the gentleman and his friend
retired to their hotel, where the whole matter was
gone over.
Will you marry her ," inquired the friend.
Can l, as a man of honor avoid it %
g cannot help thinking you are in for it. -
g alone am 10 blame, and | have gone too far
now to back out"
well, she's rather good looking
And intelligent Writes good letter.
" Is tolerablV comfortable
About your own age, too
And would probably die of broken HEARTH
were to
Marry any body else
So suppose / shall have to go on
Then you had better not make known your dis
appointment"
They were married next day, and took their de-
partuFe for the South, where the washerwoman
was introduced into the first society," but with what
success we have never learned. 4 true story,
good reader. Of course you will say this is an
exception TO the rule that . matches are made in
Heaven. Philadelphia City Item.

MATRMoNY AND ITS INDUCEMENTs-We heard
very good joke some time since that occurred in
Paris, where there all kinds of strange people,
and great variety of very queer places Among
the latter offices for the procurement of marri
ages, and the keepers of the same are called mar
rage brokers.
1t appears that young Parisian who had once
known prosperity, became exceedingly poor, and in
cogtating upon the best means to recruit his finaI-
ces, stumbled upon the thought of matrimonY. He
had hitherto lived wild and Independent life, and
the connubial thought was therefore reluctantly
entertained but his affairs were pressing, and his
wit could suggest no other means to retrieve them.
He posted TO a brokers' office, Ia marriage broker,)
and made application for lady, young, fair, and
rich. Hymen's agent stated that he had called
his books lady who was young, fair, and worth
fifty thousand francs.
The eyes of our needy friend sparkled at the
mention of the money, and for that consideration
he said that he was willing to submit to the incum
brance of a wife
Very we'll - said the broker, 50 | will give de-
scrption of your person to the lady, make some in
quries in reference to your family, report the same,
and give you an answer in the morning
Our hero expressed himself satisfied, and was
about leaving, when the broker stopped him, and
mentioned that as he would be put to a good deal
Of trouble about the matter and it might possibly
be failure, it was but fair that he should be re-
warded, in fact it was indispensable that his fee
should be paid in adUdHce
And what is your fee, sir, asked our hero,
somewhat chop-fallen.
Fifteen francs, replied the broker
Our hero gazed sleadiastly at the man for a
moment he buttOned his close up 10 the chin.
. And have you the int0lerabe impotence to
suppose, he said as he thrust his hands into a torn
pair of gloves, and dared Indignantly towards the
door, . that if in the entire universe, possessed
such an amount of money as fifteen francs | would
be frantic enough to think of getting married. -

FROM THE Rio DE LA PLATA.--By an arrival
at Salem. we have the Buenos Ayres Packet of
July 29-iust one week later than the previous adj
vices. The paper, however, contains nothing wor-
thy of note except the official notification of de-
cree issued by Governor Rosas, THE substance of
which has heretofore been mentioned in our col
unns) prohibiting all intercourse with the British
and French squadrons, except that the embarkation
of provisions for the former is permitted This pro-
hibiion is put on the ground that the blockade of
the ports occupied by Gen. oribe is still continued
by the French, and that the raising ofthe blockade
by the British has been effected in such manner as
to give no satisfaction and make no reparation
for those grievous offences and injuries" originally
committed in the institution Of the blockade. A
"spunky'' gentleman is that Governor Rosas.
