"PARrNER WANTED. SO say the ad-
vertisements every day. Everybody wants
a partner, though everybody doesn't ad.
rertise :or one. Sleeping, silent or ac-
tlve-all sorts are Sin request"
One man wants partner with SIC, 900;
another, partner with a capital of bright
eyes, fair form, and a clear thousand a
year of undivided affection: third, with
a good, honest heart-isn't particular
about the way it's '''put up" provided he
can have the undisputed title thereto.
And so it goes everybody, the world
over, is looking for a partner-waiting
for partner-sighing for a partner. Some
are ashamed to confess it; others speak
right out, F" and all as they look disclose
some little pet weakness of their own.
One man has a penchant for a particular
fashion of nose: he doesn't care what the
owner knows, if she only owns Roman
nose. Another is bewitched for black
eyes, caring little what is behind or above
them. A. third wants form like an
hour glass, and he finds it: so all three
marry respectively, eyes, nose and hour
glass. The eyes grow rheumy and dim,
and peer queerly over pair of spectacles
for "forty-five." Just think of that,
forty-five. The nose loses its fair pro-
portions, and becomes receptacle for
"Macaboy;;" and the hour-glas grows old
and crazy. Another man marries
voice, and has nothing left at last but the
echo. And worse than all, he that mar
ries "a plum" and a woman to boot.
makes way with the wealth, and the
woman remains.
Sometimes, but not often-we will give
them credit for that-the women are
seeking for partners; one, pair of whisk-
ers: another, six feet in his stockings; a
third, house and lot. But the whiskers
get frosty, the six feet leans like the
tower of Pisa, the house is mortgaged, the
mortgage is ''foreclosed," and nothing re-
mains but the man himself.
And SO it goes, and so they all 60.
Partner wanted" OF course, if man
has surplus of joy. he wants to divide
it, because, in dividing, he doubles it. IfI
a man is burdened with grief, he wants
to share it, because, in sharing, he halves
it.--B. F. TAILOR.

TABLE TURNING AND INsAN1rY.-A
Paris correspondent of a German journal
gives the following account of the sad
consequence of the table turning mania,
which we trust, is going out of fashion
here, but which appears to prevail with
moulnful intensity in Paris:
We must not forget, in recording the
events Of the day, to speak of the dam
eng, knocking, floating, and prophecying
tables. Along with the fools who allow
themselves to be deceived, VIC are unfor-
tunately compelled to mention several
cases of real insanity, which have been
caused by this ridiculous spirit-seeing.
Cuivados, project of the department,
has become mad. Hennequin, who was
formerly Fourrierite, and Delmanc, a
government director, are also insane from
this cause. The more the circle of true
believers Is narrowed, the more intense
is the folly. Even the Academy numbers
believers among its members, and NJ. de
Sauley, well known by his many spirited
writings, is one of the most jealous ad-
herents of the Table Mania. This is un
fortunate, but it is true. The following
comlcal story is told of another disciple
of this modern deluSion:
NJ. Jail, who is at present employed
in writing life Of the Emperor Napoleon
First, thought he woxld call up the spirit
of the Emperor. Napoleon appeared at
the command of the Table Cagliostro,
and gave answers to the various questions
which were put to him. Some one pre-
sent asked the Imperial spirit the date of
a well known event. A wror e date was
given in reply. Whereupon, NJ. Jail
sprung up from his chair, and addressed
to the table respectful contradiction,
But you are mistaken, sir.
Amadeus Pichot, the author of the
Britanic Review, called up the spirit of
Byron. He also appeared, and after
having assured NJ. Pichot that he for
gave him for the bad translation of his
poems, he translated a French poem of
NJ. Pochet'S into English. If You think
am inventing you to me too much hon
or. | do not add letter to what has
really happened.
