~ The pleasant German custom {

% The pleasant German custom Of
celebrating the silver wedding" was
introduced in New York, recently, by
the wife of one of our leading suctioneers,
who commemorated the 25th anniversary
of her marriage by giving splendid en-
tertainment, inviting her guests to appear
either in masquerade, fancy or civic
dress. As the larger portion of the COM
pany appeared in disguise, the effect was
both picturesque and amusing. Many Of
the characters assumed were admirably
sustained and brothers and sisters, hus-
bands and wives, were puzzled to know
who they belong to. AT the supper Ia
BILE the masks were all removed, when
several gentlemen found they had been
flirting with their sisters, making love to
their mothers, and for once playing the
agreeable to their wives.

when Nelly was taken sick. and SO as

her own money had to be expended in

Mary. IL told mother I wouldn't 90

for fortnight, but Felly's little face
seemed all the time looking at me on the
way to school, and couldn't be happy a

swer. And when on the following Mon
day little Nelly, in the new pink dress,
entered the school room, her face radiant
as rose in sunshine, and approaching
the teachers table, exclaimed, in tones
as musical as those of free fountain,
:" | am going to school every day, and I
am so glad" Miss M felt as she
had never done before, that it is moro
blessed to give than receive. No mil
lionaire, when he saw his name in the
public prints, lsuded for his thousand
dollar charities, was ever so happy as
the poor school teacher who wore her
gloves half summer longer than she
ought, and thereby saved enough to buy
that little fatherless girl calico dress.

The LATE CHARLES MArHEws.-The
following amusing anecdote of the cele-
brated Charles Matthews, comedian, was
forwarded to the editors Of the New York
Atlas by correspondent who halls from
the Astor House:
SIR-The following impromptu of Mr..
Charles Mathews, the celebrated come
dian, may, perhaps, be worthy of cor
ner in your paper. Mr.. Berry, q trades
man in the Strand, London, hearing that
Mr.. Matthews was in pecunisry diff
culties, sent him in his bill before it was
due; whereupon Mr.. NJ. Immediately
waited on him, and commenced as fol-
lows: You have sent in your bill,
Berry, (billberry,) before it was due,
Berry, (dewberry;) and in making it out
you have made great null, Berry, (mul-
berry, You are great goose, Berry,
(gooseberry,) and don't care q straw,
Berry, strawberry and am not going
to be troubled by q whim, Berry, (whim.
berry;) and if you give me any of your
impertinence, [ will make your eyes
black, Berry, blackberry, and for two
pins, would kick you, Berry, and left
him looking very like q, green Berry.
Yours, respectfully, 60.
