There are others who ought to
marry at once, provided they could
find some angel of mercy willing to
consecrate her life to the task of refer
nation and the conversion ofan almost
dissipated youth into a gentleman and
useful citizen.
And, lastly, there are some who
before they marry should strive to solve
the mathematical problem of main
tanning a wife in fashionable attire
costing five thousand dollars per annum
upon yearly income Of two thousand
dollars; and inasmuch as great infeli-
cities of married life have ariz from
inability to successfully solve this
problem after marriage, and difficulties
presented themselves which have only
been adjusted by divorce, or death.

A Novel Wager,

A London paper informs US thy,
a wager lately came off in that cltat
the terms of which we're as follows:
81 will bet any man G100 that
he cannot make a million strokes
with pen and ink within a month"
They were not to be mere scratches
and dots, but fair down strokes, such
as form the child's first lesson in
writing. A gentleman accepted the
challenge. The month allowed was
the lunar month of only twenty
eight days, so that the completion
of the undertaking, an average of
$4,000 strokes per diem was re-
quired. This is sixty per minute,
or 5000 per hour--and neither the
human intellect nor the human hand
can be expected to do more-would
call for ten hours labor in every
twenty-four. With proper re-
spect for the Sabbath, the gentle
man determined to obstain from his
work on Sundays, and by this de-
termination diminished by four days
the period allowed him; at the same
time, by so doing, he increased the
daily average of his strokes to up
ward of Al, 900. On the first day
be executed $4,000; on the second
day nearly as many. But at length
after many weary days, his hand be-
came stiff; and weary, the wrist
swollen, and, without interrupting its
progress over the paper, it required
the almost constant attendance of
some friend to besprinkle it with a
lotion calculated to relieve and in
vigorate it. On the third
day the million strokes, ex-
ceeded by some thousands, etc
make assurances doubly sure," were
accomplished. These interesting
papers are not placed in the arch.
ives of the Royal Society, of which
the gentleman is a fellow, but were
claimed and received by the person
: who made the wager.
