SEARCH FOR WIVES.

Where do men usually discover the women who
afterwards become their wives? !? is a question we
have occasionally heard discussed and the result
invariably come to is worth mentioning to our
young lady readers Chance has much to do in
the affair, but then there important governing
circumstances. 1t is certain that few men make
selection from bathrooms, or any other place of
gayety and nearly as few may be influenced by
what may be called showing off in the Streets or
by any allurements of dress. Our conviction is,
that ninety-nine hundredths of all the fnery with
which the women decorate or load their persons,
go for nothing as far husband catching is con-
cerned. When and how, then, 90 men find their
wives? In the quiet homes of their parents or
their guardians-at the fresde, where the domes-
tic feelings and graces alone demonstrated
These the charms which most surely attract
the high we'll as the humble. Against these
all the nery and airs in the world sink into insg
nifcance. We shall illustrate this by an anecdote
which though not new will not be worse for being
again told. In the year I773, Peter Burnell, Esq,
of Rockingham in Kent whose health was rapidly
declining, advised by his physicians to go to
Spain for the recovery of his health His daugh-
ters feared those who only had motives entirely
mercenary would not pay him that attention which
he Mi ght expect from those who, from duty and
affection united, would feel the greatest pleasure
in ministerng to his and comfort; they there
fore resolved to accompany him. They proved
that it was not spirit of dissipation and gayety
that led them to Spain, for they not to be
seen in any fashionable circles; they never stirred
from their homes except to attend him either to
take the air to drink the waters in word, they
lived the most recuse life in the midst Of town,
then the resort of the most iustrous and fashion
able personagcs iu Europe. The exemplary atten-
ton to their father procured these three admirable
sisters the admiration of all the English in Spain,
and was the cause of their elevation to that rank
in life to which their merits gave them just
title. They were all married to noblemen-one
to the Earl of Beverly, another to the Duke of
Hamilton, and afterwards to the Marquis of Exc
ter, and the third to the Duke of Northumberland.
And it is justice to say, that they reflected honor
their rank, rather than derived any from it.

SHARP PRAcTICE.-A week two ago four
creditors started from Boston in the train of
cars for the purpose of attaching the property of
a certain debtor in Farmin gton, Maine. He owed
each one separately, and each one suspicious
of the others business. When they arrived at
the depot there was only one cab to convey them
to the debtors place of business, which was three
miles off Three got in, and refused admittance
to the fourth, and the cab started. The fourth
mounted up on the outside with the driver lie
asked the driver if he wanted to sell his horse
The driver said he was not worth more than $50,
but he didn't want to sell him for that. He asked
him if he would take 500 for him. The driver
said yes; whtreupon the 'fourth man quickly
paid over the money, took the rens, and backed
the door of the cab against sand-bank SO it could
not be opened, slipped the horse from the harness.
mounted and rode off, while the " insiders were
looking out of the window. He rode to a lawyers
got writ made and served, and his debt secure,
and got back to the hotel just the 'insiders'
came up putting and blowing. They offered to
pay him back what he had expended for the horse,
if he would not tell the joke in Boston.
