Ats Effects and the Consequences.

Its Effects ana the consequence
From the Calcutta Overland Mail, Oct. ~.
The return of deaths in the Northwest
cm Provinces for the month of August Is
really appalling. In August last year
the deaths were -, 265, but in August OF
the present year they rose to 81, 542.
Cholera and fever are the principal causes
of the increase, As from the former the
deaths rose from l,925 TO IS, sol. and
from the latter from $1,000 10 10000.
No doubt the debility of the people,
caused by the scarcity, has rendered them
more liable TO disease.

I've known some very mean men IN my
time. There was Deacon Overreach, now, he
was so mean that he always carried a hen in
his gig box when he travelled, to pick up the
oats his horse wasted in the manger and lay
an egg for his breakfast in the morning. And
then there was Hugo Himmelman, who made
his wife dig potatoes to pay for the marriage
license. must tell you that story OF Hugo,
for it's not bad one; and good stories, like
good potatoes, amt as plenty as they used to
be when l was boy. Hugo is neighbor OF
mine, though considerable older than be,
and mean neighbor he is, too Well, when
he was going to get married to Gretchen kolp,
he goes down to Parson Rogers, at Dlgby, to
get license.
''Parson," said he, 'whats the price of a
license? ?"
''Six dollars, said he.
''Six dollars! said Hugo, chats dread
full sight of money! Couldn't you take no
less ?"
'No," said he, 'that's what they cost me to
the Secretarys office at Halifax"
''Wel, how much do you ak for publishing
in church, then? ?"
Nothing" says the parson.
''Well," says Hugo" 'thats so cheap /
can't expect you to give no change back. 1
think I'll be published. How long does it
take ?"
''Three Sundays"
'"Three Sundays!' says Hugo; ''well, that's
q long time, too. But three Sundays only
make a fortnight, after all; two for the
covers and one for the inside, like and six
dollars is a great sum of money for poor
man to throw away. L must wait.
SO off he went a jogging towards home,
feeling as mean as q new-sheared sheep, when
all at once bright thought came into his
head, and back he went as fast as his horse
could carry him.
''Parson," says he, 'Tve changed my mind.
Here's the six dollars; I'll tie the knot to-
night with my tongue that 1 can't unite with
my teeth.
"Why, what in natur' is the meanin' of all
this?" says the parson.
''Why, says Hugo, 'Tve been cipherin it
out in my head and it's cheaper than publish
ing bans, after all. You see, sir, its potato
diggin time; if 1 wait to be called in church,
her father will have her work for nothing;
and as hands are scarce and labor big, if 1
marry her tonight, she can begin to dig our
own tomorrow, and that will pay for the
license, and just seven shillings over; for
there amt q man in all Clements that can dig
and carry as many bushels in q day as
Gretchen can. And besides, fresh wives,
like fresh servants, work like smoke at first,
but they get sarcy and lazy arter while"
