Marrying in a Joke.

The Lancaster Examinor of April 10th,
says that another instance Of the folly of
marrying for fun is just now exciting
the good people of Fonda, 1t seems that
banking officer in that town met at a
ball young lady from this neighborhood,
who was very good looking, sprightly and
attractive. While wal;zing with her, he
proposed in jest that they should be mar
riod. The lady accepted the proposition,
and they adjourned to side room, where
a person present was called up to per
form the ceremony, which lie did, to the
infni amusement Of all concerned. The
gentleman thought no more Of the matter
until the breaking up of the ball, when the
fir partner called upon him to conduct
her to his residence. he demurrcd and
thought she had letter 60 to her own resi-
doncc, She said that the home of her
husband was her home, "whiihor thou
gocst, 1 will follow thee" lie did not
hardly understand that sha was his wife.
She insisted upon her martial right, and
claimed that as the ceremony had been
performed by justice of the peace, it was
perfectly fair and legal transaction.-
The man Inquired into matters; iound that
her positions were correct and that he was
in bad box. lie is now cndoavoring to
ignore his wife and back out Of the bar
gain, with little prospect Of success, how
ever. The lady has before been married,
and was, it is understood, divorced from
her former husband, but under such cir
cumstanccs Us admitted Of her marrying

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.

"Four millions Of dollars have been cS-
pended in the fruitless search after Sir
John Franklin, and yet there is talk in
England of fitting out another expedition"
Wel-what oft? We are glad there
is talk in England Of fitting out another
expedition, and we most devoutly hope, it
will not end in talk, Sir John Franklin
is worth more than four millions Of dollars
to the cause of science. lie may yet be
alive. He may still be locked in the en-
brace of unyiolding ice and be found in
health-although VIC must allow such pro-
liabilities are small, Bat while there is
the mcrcst possibility that he may be liv-
ing, we do not consider money thrown a.
way which is expended in the search for the
dauntless navigator
The value of the lives Of such men as
Sir John franklin and Elisha Kent Kane
cannot be computed by dollars and cents.
The contributions of such lives to know
ledge, science and the general good Of
mankind, are never to be written down as
equal to such an amount of silver and gold
however largn that amount may bo.
We trust that expedition after expedi
ton will continue to search for the brave
Franklin and his faithful companions, till
they shall be found and welcomed as liv.
ing men, or the certainly Of their death be
established beyoud all doubt. - Boston

Immortality.

How beautiful the following gem from
he pen Of Prentice, and how h'ppy 'ha
heart that can see these beauties as he
portrays them
Whyis it that the rainbow and the cloud
come over Us with a beauty that is not Of
earth and then pass away and leave US to
muse on faded loycliness! Why is it tllt
the stars, which hold their nightly festival
around the midnight throne, are placed
above the reach of our limited facilities
forever, mocking us with their unapproaeh-
able glory? Aud why is it that bright
forms Of human beauty are presented to
our view, and then taken from us, leaving
the tn usand streams of aft ction to flow
back in Alpine torrents upon our hearts !?
We are born for a higher destiny than
that Of earth. There is real where the
rainbow never fades, where the stars will
jo set out before US like islands that slum
Der on the ocean, and where the beautiful
beings that pass before US like me cor,
will stay in our presence forever.
