MATRIMONY.
A couple sat beside the FIRE,

A couple sat beside the FIRE,
Debating which should first retire:
The husband positively said ....
"Wife, VOC shall 90 and WARM the bed"
81 never will" she quick replied,
81 did so once and nearly died."
"And will not" replied the spouse.
With frmer tones and lowering brows
And thus war of words arose,
Continuing till they nearly iroze-
When both grew mute, and hov'ring higher,
Around the family glimmering FIRE,
They trembled DER the dying ember;
As tho the ague had seized their members.
Resolved like heroes ne'er to yield,
But force each other from the field;
And thus this once fond, loving pair
In silence shook and shiv red there,
Till midnight faded into morn,
And cocks were growing for the dawn,
When all at once the husband said
"Wife, hadn't We better go to bed!"'

~ A prying servant girl lately found
herself in very tight place, on the occa-
sion of grand ball given at the Athen-
aum, Sunderland, England, when all the
youth, beauty and fashion of the district
were gathered together. In the midst OF
the amusemens of the night, when the
enjoyment was at its height, lump OF
plaster fell from the ceiling on the head
of a young lady. who was playing the
eight fantastic toe" to the music of the
"Post Horn Gallop." A scream-a
swoon--a removal from the marble
halls-threw the company into cons,erna
ton, which. subsiding into curiosity, the
spec.a ors locked up. and beheli lady s
leg dangling down below the ceiling.
"All hands aloft" was the cry, and
soon it was discovered that the sundry
servant maids, covcting sight ofthe ball
had scaled the heights to crafty their
desire at ventillator when one Of them
putting her foot in it," made the awk
ward exhibition alluded to. She was ex
tricated from her predicament little worst
for the display of her fantastic toe.''

Chamber. The members, however, were
piqued BY such truly cavalier swagger, and

on Major Harrison and the guard. The Ma
jor saw how matters stood, and he felt II
once that he could get the ex-deputies oul
much sooner By oourtes y than carhines. 40
cordingly he approached the Speaker, and
taking Cd his own hat with much ceremony,
he bowed low, kissed the fallen oiacial's hand,
OBTAINING It ct the same time with such gen.
