HINTS ON MARRIAGE If you are a
very precise man, and wish to be certain OF
what you get, never marry a girl named
Ann; for we have the authority of Lindley
Murray and Others for saying that IAN is an
indefinite article
If you would like to have a wife who is
soue of a thousand you should marry au
Emily or an Emma; for any printer can
tell you that sems' are counted by thous
ands.
If you wish to have bustling, ay.about
wife, you should marry a Jenny; for every
cotton factor knows that %jennies are always
spinning.
If you want to marry a Belle, it is not
necessary that you should be a sexton, just
because you have to ring her at the altar.
If you marry one named Margaret, you
may be sure that she will come to the gal
lows, for all the world knows that pegs were
made for hanging.
If you wish to succeed in life as a porter,
you should marry Caroline and treat her
very kindly for as long as you continue to
do that, you will be good to Garry.
The most incessaut writer in the world is
he who is always bound to Alkaline.
Many men of high moral principle, and
who would not gamble for the world, still
do not refuse occasionally to take a Bet.
Gazing FOR HER."--Col. Dick Nash
tells a rich story about Gazing for her. in
his earliest days. He was deeply smitten
with the daughter of a wealthy old gentle
man residing in Alabama. The Colonel,
self-coD6dent of success, arrayed himself iu
his best suit, and proceeded to call on the
ssparent" for the purpose of obtaining his
consent to the consummation he devoutly
; wished. Matters had all along gone on
smoothly. Col. Nash had every ground to
hope for success. Finally a good time ar.
rived for him to approach the old 'un.-
Says the Colonel
esquire, my business to day, is to ask for
your daughters hand"
"Is it, is it? What you marry my gal!
Look here, young man, leave my premises
instanter, and if you ever set foot here a
gain, I'll make my niggers skin you. Mar.
ry my daughter, indeed. YOU
The Colonel had left. He saw that the
old gentleman was angry. After getting
off to a safe place, he thought he would
turn and take a last fond look at the home
of his lost idol-when he spied the old man
busy, with spade in hand, shoveliug up his
tracks from the yard and throwing them
over the fence! Col. Nash imagined he
was an unwelcome visitor at that house.
AN ALABAMA POLITICAL ANEcDoTE -
The Mobile Tribune relates the following
good one:
s'Some years ago, at the time when there
was a triangular contestin progress between
the Wings, Old Line Democrats and Fire
eaters, it was announced that the late Johr
Morrisett, of Monroe, would address the
people of that county in behalf of thu
Wings. Chancellor Lesesne was sent W
from Mobile to meet him, as representative
of the Southern Rights Party. The Chan
cellor wore straps to his pantaloons (the,
not a prevalent fashion in Monroe), anc
having habit of putting his hands behiuc
him when speaking, and lifting the skirt
of his coat, he displayed a large, new bras
buckle that fastened his waistband.
"Mr. Morrisett, replying, remarked, il
his own peculiar aud inimitable vein, tina
the people of Monroe did not need to re
ceive political instruction from Mobile
least of all, from a gentleman who wor
gallowses under his boots and a breast pi
on the seat of his brecches."
