Extraordinary Experiment..

An Irish gentleman residing at Saint
Annes, Blarney, near Cork, determined
on an experiment with his infant child,
to ascertain if he could entirely dispense
with clothing. He had probably heard
the costume, or the want of costume, Of
the ancient Britons discussed. His boy
was fourteen months old. He goes about
in state Of perfect nudity, sleeping
without any covering, in room with the
thermometer at 33 degrees. He is per.
Gectly Indifferent TO heat or cold; is live.
ly, active, cheerful and intelligent. His
form is said to be as beautiful as sculp.
tors ideal, and his ever.varying attitudes
is the perfection Of grace, while his rose.
ale skin betokens ford health During
the progress of the "experiment," he had
cut three teeth, without manilesting any
Of the disagreeable symptoms usual to
children in that condition. He appears
almost insensble to pain, and seldom
cries when he falls; generally amusing
himself in aquiet way. Some Of the res,
idents Of Saint Annes regard the whole
matter with feelings Of amazement and
horror, and even those who have made a
careful observation for themselves, and
found nothing worthy Of condemnation,
do not venture to repeat the experiment
on their own children.

How they Marry md Live.

How ahey MARRY nho AiVe'
A young man meets pretty face, falls
in love with it, courts 1t, marries 1t, goes
to house keeping with it, and boasts Of
having a home, and wife to grace it,
The chances are nine 10 one that he has
neither. Her pretty face gets to be an
old story, or becomes faded, or freckled
or rrcttch, and as the face was all he want.
ed, all he paid attention to, all he satup
with, al he bargoned for, all he swore to
love, honor and protect, he gets sick OF
his trade, knows a dozen faces which he
likes better, gives up staying at home Of
evenings, consoles himself with cigars,
oysters and politics, end looks upon his
home as a very Indifferent boarding house
A family Of children grow up about him,
but neither he nor his "(ace" know any.
thing about them; so they come up hel.
ter.skelter; made toys Of when babes,
dolls when boys aud girls, drudges when
young men and women, and so passes
year after year, and not one quiet, happy,
homely hour is known throughou the en-
tire household.
Another young man becomes enamored
of "lortune." He waits upon it TO
parties, changes NlletS doua with it, pops
the question to it, gets eyes" from it,
takes it 10 the parsons, webs it, calls it
"wfe," carries it home sets up an estab
lishment with it, introduces it to his
friends, and says poor (ellow!] that he
too is married and has got home. It's
false! He is not married and has got no
home; and he soon finds it out He is
in the wrong box, but it is too late to get
out Of it. He might as well hope to es.
cape from his coffin. Friends congratu.
late him, and he has TO grin and bear it.
They praise the house, the furniture, the
cradle, the Bible and the new baby, AMI
then bid the "louuue" and he who nus.
bands it good morning--as if he hp,
known COOL morning since he AM tha !
gded fortune were falsely declared t.
be one!
Take another case: A young lady is
smitten with pair of whiskers CurIed
hair never before had such CHAINS. She
sets her cap for them; they take. The
delighted whiskers make an offer, prof.
rering themselves both in exchange for
one heart. I he dear miss is overcome
with magnanimty, closes the bargain,
carries home the prize, shows it to pa
md ma, calls herself engaged to it, thinks
here never was such pair Of whiskers
beforehand they arc married. Married!
yes, the world calls i, SO, and we will.
What is the result? A shor, honey.
moon, and then they unluckily discover
that they are as unlike as chalk and
cheese, and not to be made one, though

lounce it so!
