AWFUL THoUGHTs.-"This had from
the very beginning of their acquaintance
induced in her that are which is the
most delicious feeling wife can have
towards husband" "Awel" said L,
on hearing the above remark-"awe of
a man whose whiskers you have trim
med, whose hair you have cut. whose
crayats you have tied, whose shirts you
have put in the wash whose boots
and shoes you have kicked into the
closet, whose dressing gown you have
worn while combing your hair who has
been down to the kitchen with you at
eleven o'clock at night, to hunt for a
chicken bone; who has hooked your
dresses, unlaced your boots, fastened
your bracelets, and tied on your bonnet,
who has stood before your looking glass,
with thumb and finger ON his proboscis,
scratching his chin; whom you have
buttered, and sugared, and toasted, and
tea-ed; whom you have seen asleep
with his mouth wide open! Ridicu-
lous !'-Fanny Fern.

BUYING HUsBANDs-A modern trav-
eler tells us that the Jewesses in Thes-
alonica European Turkey, reverse our
accepted laws of hymen, by purchasing
their husbands. The moclus operands is
thus described Brokers are employed
to negotiate marriages. The father of
a marriagable girl goes to broker and
inquiries what bridegrooms there are in
the market He chooses one, higher or
lower In the social scale, according to-
the dover he can afford his daughter,
the price he can pay, and makes an Of
fer of SO much dover, the bridegroom,
through the broker, demands more; they
chatter and bargain for weeks, perhaps,
and bargain is struck. The parties
never see each other till married. The
dover is the wife's only security against
divorce. The husband can divorce her
when he chooses, but he must pay back
the dover, that she may be able to buy
another husband. Mrs. D. was telling
a Jewish girl that we do not require any
dowry in America. "How then" said
she, in utter astonishment, "do YOU do
when he wants to divorce youa

WIT AND HAPPINEss.-There is no
necessary connection between witty OF
even humoro us ideas and comfortable
state of mind. Swift was unhappy and
johnson morose. though both were
great wits. Hood was extremely sub
ject to low spirits and Cowper, it is we'll
known, wrote "John Gilpin," not be-
cause he was in merry mood, but to
keep up" against his habitual tenden-
cy to melancholy. Liston, the greatest
of comic actors, suffered extremely from
mental depression; and Lyman Blanch-
ard, one of Punch's best humorists, blew
his own brains out, leaving Douglas
Jerrold to finish the famous "Caudle,
Lectures" which the former had begun.
With the single exception of Swift, who
was disappointed politician, these men
were all invalids whose animal spirits
were impaired by disease, and who
themselves groaned over the "happy
fancies which set the rest of the world
laughing.-Boston Post.

The MODEL You've MAN.-There are
boys no longer. All are young men
from the time they get pockets in their
trousers until they come home regularly
drunk, accompanied by policemen
They are, moae either sons of honest men
men who constantly add to the gener-
al wealth and prosperity-the men who
are the superstructure and bulwarks of
national strength and progress, or they
are the offspring of brokers,note-shavers,
money-lenders, pawn brokers or bank
ers. In the former case, the model young
man is utterly ashamed of his father and
mother, and entirely ignores the cold
man" and the old woman on every occa-
sion. On the contrary the latter pro-
claims his ''governor" and "his lady"
loud-mouthed to the world, and he is
known by young ladies as the son ofthe
wealthy banker and who is delightful
young man, drinking and gambling reg
ularly, and an only son. The model
young man finishes his education when
he can manage a glass of brandy with
out winking, and when he can tell at
once with smack of the lips, whether
that liquor has been "doctored." His
conversation is mainly in regard to his
own varied hair and his expectations
His ambition is confined to making a
"carom' at billiards, by taking" six
cushions, and to being connected with
subscription parties, which are entirely
select, and at which all the model young
men consider it necessary to get drunk,
as a mark of manhood. The model
young man lies abed in the morning,
and has contraband bottles of Congress
water in his apartment, mingled with
bottles of whisky-the "rale mountain
dew" He gets his breakfast at the res
taurant, where he has large bill, and
begs money of his mother to satisfy his
creditors. He spends his time pretend
ing business through the day. He is ac-
quainted personally with the degraded
women of the town. and goes to parties
in the evening steaming with ";offee
royal and debauchery He lives ON
expectantly, daily creating debts to be
settled at the sold mans" death and
finally should the sold man" prove rath-
er healthy and rugged, he complains of
the tediousness of time, and the mean
ness of the cold man" who tenaciously
clings to life for the purpose of keeping
model young man in trouble and debt.
He is generally at the billiard room when
the old man is at his last gasp, and ar
rives in time to attend the funeral in
black kids and crocodile tears, and with
an inward feeling of joy and exultation
awaits the reading of the last will and
testament. He sees the "old woman"
die without pang, and adds the "old
woman's" dover to his own portion, with
unconcealed satisfaction. He lives a
martyr to fast horses and ruined con-
stitution, to passions which he is pow
erless to satisfy, and dies where his an
cestors first commenced in business, with
bag and hook-m the gutter.

A party of miners recently return

A party of miners recently returned
to Monterey from the Mission of San
Antonio, according to the Santa Cruz
Sentinel, brought in several petrifed fos-
sill bones of an extinct animal, found in a
barranca some three miles west of the
Mission Valley One of these bones has
the very marrow of the animal petrifed
in its hollow, and part of the old flesh
turned to stone-the remainder of the
animal, enough to fill a wagon, is in the
earth and rock embedded. The petri-
fed rib of one of these fossil animals was
found in the same vicinity two years ago,
covered with crystals of quartz, in which
were found specks of gold distinctly Wis
ible.

A ROMANTIC SToRY-The following
story, from the Paris correspondent of
the New York Times, will serve to show
the rapid manner in which the Russian
gov ernment does an act of justice
4 Some eighteen months ago Miss
Ward, of one of our Southern States,
was married to Polish Count, with
very unpronounceable name. After re-
sidihg with her three weeks he took
Ere ench leave one morning, taking with
him his wife's jewels. He left letter
beh lind him stating that the marriage was
inv alid, from the fact that no Russian
subject could be legally married except
by Greek service. Of course the lady
was in great CONSERVATION, and at the
cor pnation of the Gear, she with her
mother went to st. Petersburgh. Mr.
Sal IA, the principal writer for Dickens
Household Words, drew up petition
for her to the Russian Government, and
it was presented by Mr.. Seymour, our
Minister. The case was laid before the
Emperor, and an order was issued to
the Russian minister at Naples, where
the Count was living, for his arrest. He
was seized by the Neapolitan police at
the expense of Russia, carried to War,
saw, where the lady and her friends
were waiting, marched into the church
by body of policemen, and was there
compelled to stand before the altar and
be married in due form His wife, then
the Countess, turned to him with form
al bow, and bade him adieu forever
The Count was sent to Siberia, his prop
erty confscated, his wife retaining a
third by law.

A Prudent OMcer,

In these days of official corruption, it
is a relief to find one officer in the SER
vice of the State, acting prudently in
the expenditure of public funds. At
least there is one man in the various de-
partments of the government, who keeps
within moderate bounds. By late re-
port of the House committee onAccounts
and Expenditures, it appears that near
forty thousand dollars of debt was con-
tracted by different State officers during
the last year, without the authority of
law, which sum the committee recon-
mend be not allowed. Gen. Douglas,
Secretary of State, is the only officer
who has contracted no liabilities or in
CURED obligations beyond the contin-
gent appropriation made for his office.
He has, even, not expended the full
amount allowed him by tho Legislature.
The committee report is signed by sew
en- members, and commends the Secre-
tary of State highly for his proper care
of the public money.
In ordinary times and in other States,
no praise need be bestowed upon pub
lie servant for discharging his duties
faithfully and with proper economy but
here, where patriots are scarce, honesty
should receive the appreciation of those
who can appreciate it, as we apprehend
the mass of the people can.
