Rich SKETcH.-A few dayN since
a gentleman and lady from Vermont
visited our city for the laudable pur-
pose Of getting 'iinted for lif.," i. e.
married. After the ceremony was
duly performed, according to law
and doctrine, the newly married
couple repaired to one of our first
class hotels and took lodgings for the
night. On retiring, instead OF shut
ting off the gass, he blew out the
light and went to bed. In a short
time the disagreeable smell of the
gas began to spread through the
house, and the servants were des
patched in all directions to find out
whence it proceeded. After some
search, they traced the odor TO the
room occupied by the happy couple,
and knocking on the door, which was
locked, they asked the gentleman
what was the matter.
"Matterl Nothing. What are
you disturbing me fof7 Begonel"
The smell still increased, and at
last the domestics burst open the
door and shut off the gass, the spouse
all the time scolding like good 'un.
"Why did you not shut off your
gasw inquired one of the servants.
"Gas! gasl what gasl / Ihaint seen
no gas. / blowed out the light, that's
all.n
"Well, did you not smell some-
thing strangel"
"Why, yesl" replied the new hus-
band. "but supposed it was a ndtu-
raj consequence of getting married"

WHAT IS DIRTl-The celebrated
DR.. Cooper, Of South Carolina, used
to say to his students:
"Don't be afraid of little dirt,
young gentlemen. What is dirtl-
Why nothing at all offensive when
chemically viewed. Rub little al
kali on that "dirty grease spot" on
your coat, and it undergoes chemi-
cal change and becomes soap. Now
rub it with 4 little water and it dis
appears; it is neither grease, soap,
water, nor dirt. "That is not very
odorous pile Of dirt" you observe
there. Well, scatter little gypsum
over it, and if is no longer dirty

after all, you were kissing dirt-par-

MADAM:-I am, for my honored
fathers mistaken notions (peace be
with himi though he bequeathed it
not to me,) and the awful phrase the
ladies have MISUNDERSTANDING
for breach of promise"-that misc
rable creature, a miserlv old bache-
lori Behold the proofs!
My father, by scraping and sa-
wing, left me the heir Of half a million;
and what was worse, educated me
to believe that money was the chief
earthly good, and that the world so
esteemed it. l have in consequence,
been so intent on guarding myself
from imposition and losses, that |
have become miserly; and can fair
ly trace my aversion to matrimonial
engagements to the terror that
seized me when reading one day that
friend Of mine had been mulced in
the heavy damages of eight thousand
dollars (all he was worth), "for a
breach of promise to a lady" (she
should be called hdrpy) of New
York. From that time to this /
have minded my p's and q's. Never
have l spoken a soft word to fair
damsel without so modifying the
sense that "the law could have no
hold on me-" | defy any one of the
sex to prove that ever trifled with
her feelings-I think that is the
phrase. MANY an invitation to "cor-
respond" with my cousins or some
Of their intimate friends have | re-

the notes of broken bank; and nev-
er do | offer my arm to lady with
out first placing my hand on my
pocket. Don't imagine ! think the
lady would steal. The touch on my
pocket is a sort of talismanic maneu-
vre to preserve me from temptation.
The ideas it awakes may be thus ex-
pressed:-"You have money in your
pocket: the lady likes money; conse-
quentiy, would like your hand or
promise. By the powers, she shall
have neilher!'' Thus do / fortily

ces over which | had no control,
have | at last become lonely, suspi-
cious being-in plain English, that
horrid, hateful thing, a miserly old
bachelor.
! intend soon TO offer a premium
for the best Dissertation "on the evil
effects of prosecutions for a breach Of
the marriage contracts" with a pro-
viso that those whose articles are re-
jected shall pay the premium. This
last clause is an original scheme Of
mine; and take some pride in hav-
