Demfoine Wants to Marry.
Eds. Ledger The readiness with which
you have always responded to the unfortunate
prompts me to make known through your
columns some of the circumstances, over
which have no control, which have con-
spired against my welfare during my soourn
in this land of gold and to consummate, If
possible, plan which I have conceived for
my social and pecuniary benefit. l am a
young man, exceedingly good looking, tolera-
bly, we'll educated, Of strict moral habits, and
possessing an unlimited fund Of business
qualifications, that only want an opportunity
to expand themselves under favorable circum-
stances to insure success But. fortune
which does not always favor the most descrv-
ing, has certainly cvinced an uncommon spite
against me for although have insidiously
courted the old dame, she has invariably
turned me over to the tender merccs of her
vinegar visnged old maid daughter-Miss
Fortune, who has courted and fondled me
in manner quite shocking to one of my
stric: notions of propriety. And what with
the smiles of one and the frowns Of the
other, my life has, at times, became so mis-
cradle that were it not for my strict religious
principles, / should, ere this, have put an end
to my miserable existence, thereby deprving
society of one of its most brilliant orna-

temptation, and through the dark night of
adversity, still have l struggled on until at
last, like James solitary horseman, l think |

light. Yes, Messrs. Editors, | have con-
ceived most brilliant idea, which, if / can
but succeed in accomplishing, will secure the
happiness of two persons. To consummate
this object it is necessary that / should take
life partner-a true and loving wife, who
is willing to devote herself to me and our
mutual interests, who has q gentle Iisposi-
tion and the combined accomplishments of
the three graces, and who understands wash
ing and ironing. With such partner, in the
language of Morgan when he crossed the
Delaware, There can be no such word as

this vicinity, am confident that can com
mand large share of the laundry business,
thereby enabling us to successfully compete
with the Oriental population, who at present

: THREE EXPECTED CoMErs. Astronomers
are on the gai firs for three periodical com
