A Match.

There is story going the rounds of the
bouhoirs of Paris about a handsome man OF,
about fifty years of age, but well preserved,
and with only one infrmity-he had glass
eye. 1t was a misfortune; but things are so
well managed nowadays, that no one noticed
it. One evening, having no other engage
ment, he accepted an invitation to a recep-
ton at Madame Saint Ildehouse de Piero-
veeville's. He went to the ball, passed
charming evening, and devoted himself ex-
clusively to beautiful young blonde who
attracted the attention of all the COMPANY
Shall it be confessed % He fell SO in love
with the young lady at first sight, that he
made her an offer on the spot After few
instants of reflections and some preliminaries
relating to the contract, the marriage was ar
ranged, and celebrated in due time. When
he entered the nuptial chamber he extin-
gushed the light. A glass of water was on
the table by the bedside; he dropped his eye
into it. The next morning as soon as it was
light, our handsome bridegroom reached
forth his arm, seized the cherished orb. and
replaced it in it's orbit. As soon as he was
dressed he went to see a friend in town. On
seeing him his friend gave cry of surprise
" Perhaps you find me changed" said our
friend. =" 1t is my happiness. Think of it
my friend l am married, to the most deli
cious blonde-such hair such eyes"
g Blue eyes?''
"Of course, as she is blonde Ifyou could
only see her eyes"
. ! see one of them now, and if your mem-
ory fails you, you have only to look in the
glass to see her eye before youw
The bridegroom trembled He rushed to
the mirror.
o horrors his right eye was black and
full of fire, but his left eye was blue, Ian
gushing and tender.
In the glass of water were two eyes, but
they did not belong to the same person.
The newly married counlc separated, with
out vilifying each other, but not without
changing eyes.

II he's not only enacted judicious law

out being chargable with invidious
praise, especially commend Hon. J. A.

framing Of the bill which has been sub

Mr.. Parvin had also previously careful

warm-hearted zeal with which his SYM

is, therefore, one Of peculiar fitness.
