Gaping from the South TO the white matrimoni-
al market of the North and we may soon ex-
pect TO see advertisements for colored husbands,
those with Southern manners preferred
"And here, in conclusion, and in view of the
present alarming state of the female country, |
nave TWO suggestions to make. One is, that we
adopt as rule that no member of this society
shall marry unless he has had half hour inter-
views with at least twenty female candidates, so
that he may take a safe, judicious nick. And
the other is, that we use our influence with the
State Legislatures to make poygamy legal-by
which we should somewhat diminish the increase
of amalgamaton, besides obtaining the good
will of the fair sex, inclusive Of the wenches.
Indeed, feel sure that the woman will ere long
take the law into their own hands, by sheer
force of immense majority, and be the legisla-
tors themselves and then polygamy will be
made lawful, with or without our consent"
These suggestions were warmly approved and
the old baches, reserving them for discussion at
the next meeting, adjourned Mercury.

COMPENSATION,
IFrom the French of Emile souvestrc. !


Capital cities have one thing peculiar to
them their days of rest seem to be the signal
for a general dispersion ard flight. Like
birds that are just restored to Ii erty, the
reople come out of their stone cages, and
joyfully fly towards the country. 1t is who
shall find a green hlock for seat, or the
shade of wood for shelters they gather
May flowers. they run about the fields the
town is forgotten until the evening, when they
return with sprigs of blooming hawthorn in
their hats, and their hearts gladdened by pleas
ant thoughts and recolections of the past day;
the next day they return again to their harness,
and to work.
These rural adventures are most remarkable
at Paris When the fine weather comes, clerks,
shopkeepers, and working men, look forward
impatiently for the Sunday as the day for try
ing few hours Of this pastoral life 4; they walk
through six miles of groceries, shops and pub
lie houses in the faubourgs, in the sole hope Of
finding real turnip field. The father of a
family begins the practical education of his son
