How JOHN SwoRE FOR BETTY.-The
laws of the state of Verginia prohibit mar
rage unless the parties are of lawful age
or by the consent of the parents, John
", a well-to-do farmer in the valley
| of Virginia, was blessed with every comfort
except that desidratum-a wife. John
cast his eys around, but unsucessfully, until
they fell upon the form of Betty, daughter
of John Jones, one of the prettiest and
incest girls in the country. After a court
ship of six weeks, John was rendered hap
py by the consent of the fair Betty. The
next day, John with a friend, went to town
TO get the necessary documents, with the
forms of procuring which he was most la
mentally ignorant. Being directed to the
clerks office John, with a good deal OF hesi-
tation, informed the urbane Mr.. Brown
that he was going to get married TO Betty
Jones, and wanted 10 know what he must
do to compass that desirable consummation.
Mr. Brown, with bland smile, informed
him, that after being satisfied that no legal
impediment prevented the ceremony. he
would for the sum and consideration of
So, grant him the license. John, much re-
lieved, handed out the necessary funds,
ALLOW me- said Brown, 'to ask you
few questions. You are 2l years of age,
suppose, Mr.. N!'
Yes said John.
DO you solomnly swear that Betty Jones,
spinster, is of lawful age, (made and enact
ted by the legislature of Verginia,) to take
the marriage vowg
What's that 2 said John.
Mr. b. repeated.
Well said John, sMr Clerk, want to
get married, but joined the church at the /
last revival, and / wouldn't swear for !
hundred dollars
Then sir, you connot get married. 81
Cant get married Good gracious, Mr.
Clerk, they'll turn me out of the church i'll
| swear! Don't refuse me, Mr Clerk, for
heavens sake, I'll give you $40 if you let
me off from swearing.
Can't do it Mr. NJ
Hold on, Mr. Clerk, I'll swear I couldn't |
give up Betty for ten churches. Ill swear /:
may be ID if she amt Is years
Old-give me the license
After the clerk bursted few of the but
Ions off his vest, he granted the license.-I

TIE FARMERS HoME.-The business of the farmer is at home-his pleasures are home pleasures, and his enjoyments are at home. The merchant may get along without home he may spend his days in his office or countingroom, or in the exciting marts of commerce -hls even- ings in contriying new schemes, deep plans for accomplishing wealth, on avertlng anticipated loss. Too seldom are the hours or days he snatches from business cares, for recreation, devoted to quiet home pleasures; they do not satisfy the ever feverish brain ibat craves excitement, even in its repose. The watering place, the concert, the theatre, the convIvial party, and the wine-cup, constitute, in too many cases, the pleasures of our men Of wealth. It is stated that a merchant who recently failed; in one of our large cities, on being asked what he intended to do, replied that he should first "go and get acquainted with his wife and children. This was, perhaps, an extreme case, yet too many are strangers at home. How happy the man who feels that he has a true home, the temple of his household gods, where he reigns patriarch, priest, and king-a refuge from rage and malice, a shelter from the storms of life, which no loss ot wealth, no change of circumstances, can affect--a rose without a thorn--a sun that knows no setting.

A CoqUETTE.-To look at the green trees. the luxuriant gardens, the beautiful flowers, one would naturally conclude that we were enjoying all the blessed beatitudes incident to the genial season, Spring but to wake up ofa morning and find your nose almost frozen of, and the earth carpeted with white frost, is well calculated to dispel any such fanciful illu- sion. Here it is, Monday morning, the 18th of April, and heavy white flost is observable glittering in the early rays of the sun, which should be ashamed to per- nit such fantastic capers during its noc- turnal visit to the antipodes. April has not behaved herself this year as well as her younger and more frolicsome sister. March. Truly she has depsrted herself with great rudeness, behaved like spoil- ed, petted, turbulent, uprorious Tom-boy 1; with the heanlessness of coquette, she has courted the tender buds, wooed the pretty flowers, and invited the innocent young fruit to come and sit in her lap, and when, trusting to her gentle tones and winning voice, they all came and placed themselves in her power, like another treacherous Delilah, she has attempted, i, with a pair of shears, borrowed from the cold hearted December, to deprive them of their flowing locks of beauty, and send them to an early grave. But, thanks to kind old mother earth, who has become somewhat warm in the cause, no great damage is done. The fruit and flowers still live. Ouachita Herald.
