MATCH MAKING.-It is a curious fact,
and one interesting 10 the philosophical
looker-on at the game of husband hun
ting, that unmarried ladies derive much
more assistance from the counsels and in
struction of mothers and other female re-
latlons, than they ever DO from their faith

position and nature are inclined to intrigue
and the skill, maneuvres, and adroitness
which have become useless to themselves
are yet permitted to be laid up and grow
rusty, but are brought up.by kind hearted
malrons to tire assistance and support ol
their unmarried relations. The father
