A BACHELOR SAYS ga woman will cling
TO the chosen object of her heart like pos
sum 10 gum tree, and you cant separate
her without swapping strings no art can
mend, and leaving portion of her soul on
the upper leather of her affections. She
will sometimes see something to love where
others see nothing 10 admire and when
fondness is once fastened on to a fellow, it
sticks like glue and molases in bushy
head of hair.

Result of q CuriOuS Ret.

The year l725 was extremely rainy, and
banker named Bulliot, remarked that it
raiEed on St. Swithen's day, and remem-
bered the popular superstition, that if il rain
ed on that day each of the following forty
days would be more or less wet; and it hav
ing ralned also on the day of St. Gervais,
(who has also the reputation of being a hy-
drauic saint,) laid wager that it would be
wet for forty consecutive days. Several per-
sons took il up, and the wager was reduced
to writing in these terms: ''lf dating from
St. Gervais' day, it rains more or little dur
ing forty days successfully, Buliot will be con
sdered TO have gained; if it ceases TO rain
sor only one day during that time, Buliot
has lost" On these terms Bulliot be,led
against all who presented themselves, and
on that day he deposited very large sum
OF money for besides the sums which he
put in the hands of the umpres, he took
gold.headed canes, snuff-boxes, and Jewels
OF every kind, whose value was appraised,
aud against which he placed money. 1t is
said, that one person, having no ready mon
ey, betted a lot of fine Holland shirts
and that Bulliot accepted the gage. This
wager made great deal of noise, and as
the chances were decidedly against Bullot:
many people accepted the conditions.
and was underwri,ten by Bullot but,
as he had deposited all his cash, he
was forced to give the umpires notes and
bills of exchange; and, as his credit was
well established, it is related that he issued
paper TO the amount of fifty thousand
crowns. 1t will be readily conceived that
the hero OF this wager became quite fash.
ionable; and that during the time elapsed be-
Tote the denouement of the affair, he excited
as much interest and curiosity as would have
been felt for monarch or warrior. Wher.
ever he appeared, he attracted universal al.
tention; and he became SO popular, that he
was made The subject of play. But uHfor-
tunately, Saint Gervais was not true 10 his
character, and it ceased raining before the
expiration of the due time. Bulliot was
ruined, and SO thoroughly that he could not
honor the notes and bills of exchange
which bore his name. The holders of the
obligations tried 10 enforce payment; and as
The ancient law, as we'll as the new code,
lid not recognize debts of this character,
they endeavored 10 pass themselves off as
bona fde creditors, who had taken Bulliot's
totes for other Considerations than the wa
Der, and that they ought to be paid or com.
pounded fer; but the assignees made it ap.
pear BY the dates and other evidences, that
6lI these notes formed part of the wager.
They were therefore nonsuited, and the debt
declared irrecoverable.

How MANY people occupy this world is a
question often asked and but seldom an.
swered. There is a difference among writ
ers as 10 the inhabitants of the globe; some
estimate the number 10 be 100000, ,0Oo,
