How to Discover the Newly Mar
rieA.

The fall season has fairly set in, and We
lind the matrimonial market buoyant in our
city, hundreds of our missguided young men
rushing into the holy estate. A more than
usual number Of wedding tourists are noticed
by travellers and conductors on the different
railroads.
OF course, it is not on account of being
ashamed Of each other that they try to dis.
guise their situation, but simply to avoid
being critised and remarked upon BY profare
strangers. Thus they lay the fond uncti,u
to their souls that they are travelling incog.
But good gracious, how badly fooled they
are. 1t is one of the easiest things in tie,
world to the careful eye to tell precisely how
many days, or even hours, they have been
''spliced. They can sometimes be and a: q
detected by the great pains they take to al,

ins as they promenade the deck of steam

cases their dress, in part exposes them. 1t
IS so approroa to the occasion, being neat,
symmetrical and bran new. In cases where
the parties have good taste, their is no quad
mess or "tlubdubbng" about their attire

since, gentleman connected with one OF
oHr railroad corporations, while taking q
ride through one OF onr country towns, &C.
compsnied by an Irish servant, had the mis-.
fortune TO have his vehicle smashed, and
himself and bis companion thrown to the

bruised but no. seriously; his principal loss
being that OF bis wig, which had been shaken
of; and on picking himself up, he found
Pat in q much worse condition, holdiro on
to bis head with the blood trickling through
his fingers, which he was surveying with the
most ludicrous alarm and horror. "Well'
