young ladies! No doubt your bIxom Wild

serious thoughts of committing ,natrimony,
that it is 10 our power to give them valu-
able hint as to the best mode of getting
through the ceremony. We have heard Of
getting married by steam aud telegraph,
but we have now to propose most original
plan, which may be called marriage made
easy. We recently overheard two.young

entirely submerged the field and nearly
covered the growing corn. Father Max

the panic stricken inhabitants toipray away

drive off the waters BY saying masses, for a
share of all the corn theyraise The bar

to the faith an astonishment of the owners,
the waters suddenly retired from their fieI5s.
The ground was soon dry, the corn looked
green, and priest shared in the luxuriant
crop. The American settlers were such
heretics as to think the waters would have
subsided, and the corn have grown without
