quiet smile" after his partner had kissed the
cup threw down the glass, and stamped it
into such infnitessimal fragments as would
make the bones OF Hahneman the father of
Homeopathy start in their narrow tenements,
as much as to say, 'easier were it to make
that crystal cup whole without flaw or frag-
mentary blemish, than to separate the two
hearts united in one common bond of union"
To digress, will merely say in this con.
nection, that the insinuation thrown out by
the "Old Ramrusty" correspondent of the
interior department of the San Francisco

By way of offset to the marriage in Jewrv,
there was another wedding took place in the
Unitarian Church on Tuesday night, which
drew crowded audience, mostly of "the fe-
male persuasion" notwithstanding the Gou-
genheims made their second appearance at
Maguires, and the ..Starks held forth at the
Lyceum the same night The heppy uan
was VIM. Sherman-not the inventor of the
Lozenges We read about that children cry

The lady in the case was a Miss Shew, sister
of the Daguerrean Artist, Teacher in one
of the Schools, with a fine face although by
no means pretty,-like all "Schoolmarms," in

ing features of the occasion was the presenta-
tion ofa service of plate to the bridegroom
after the ceremony. Who wouldn't get mar

''all owing to the v'yge," but the most philo
sophical hypothesis is that the Captain of the
Glimpse refused to allow Joey any sugar for
her lemon,-for they do say that there is a
pretty considerable amount of tartaric acid
