SINGULAR MARRIAGE. "A young man
residing in Bordentown, who was under an
engagement of marriage with young lady,
died on Friday last. Both the gentleman
and lady, as we'll as their families, were firm
believers in the doctrine of the spiritualists,
and Notwithstanding the death of the former
it was determined that the marriage should
take place between the discmbodied spirit
of the young man, and the living, breathing
body of his affianced bride.
Accordingly, on Sunday, the marriage
ceremony was performed between the clay
cold corpse and the warm, blooming bride.
1t is understood that this was in compliance
with the directions of the spirit of the bride
groom. The devotion of the lady to the
spirit or the memory of her lover carried
through this trying ceremony without falter.

REMEDY FOR SEA SrCKNEss.--Mrs.
b Willard, of Troy, possesses new rem
edy for sea.sickness, which consists in
forcibly expelling the impure air from
the lungs, and filling them with pure
air. This is her advice: make your
chest as small as possible by STOPPING,
drawing down your ribs and pressing
your hands to your side, throw out the
air by violent and long. continued in
haling, blowing it from your mouth as
if engaged in blowing up fire. Then
change, make long and forcible in
halation, opening your chest to its ful-
lest dimensions by standing erect and
raising your arms from your shoulders.
Three or four of these long-forced
'breaths are sufficient to relieve Sc
we're case of sea-slckness."

MILTON AND RoYALTY.-That was
a shrewd reply of the poet Milton, to
James H., when he, as Duke of York,
called upon him out of curiosity.
In the course of their conversation,
James said to him, that he thought his
blindness was a judgment from heaven
on him, because he had written against
Charles l., the Dukes father.
10 which Milton quantity replied
"'lf your Highness thinks that mis-
Fortunes are an index of the wrath of
heaven, what must you think of your
fathers tragical end | have only lost
my sight; he, his head"
James did not think it would be
very safe to continue the conversation
after such an answer, and bade the po.
ct adieu.
