which she has been accustomed. Old
Jones lives in big brown stone house with
twenty thousand dollars worth of rose

man presume to address Miss Jones, who
cannot provide and maintain big brown
stone house and twenty thousand dollars

preposterous notion this. A better rule we

The year 1851 will be a very eventful
one-to every maiden who gets married.
Throughout the whole course of the year,
whenever the moon wanes. the nights will
grow dark. Whoever is in love this year,
will think his mistress an angel. Whoever
gets married will find out whether it be true.
He that loses his hair this year, will go
bald. He that loses his wife will become
widower. II young lady should happen
to blush. she will look red in the face If
she dreams OF young man three nights in

WAR BoNDs.-When the State of Ar.

Federal Union. she came in possession of
property, to the amount of the States in
debtedness at the time OF her seceching
would not have exceeded 50. 900. 900 This
being the case she has a fund of 49,, ,00O,-
QUO acquired by her seeding and in addi-
tion to her other resources. This places
her in the most hou,ishing condition Of sny
State in the Union, according to popn alton.
Every dollars worth Of property which the
State has, is pledged foF the payment of
the war bonds" The amount Of wsr
bonds TO be issued. will not exceed S5. 600. :
600. and. therefore, we consider them as
good as gold. There is ample revenue &C.
