Nj. q. Gerard, now OF Philadelphia, bn, for
merly American consul at Cape Town, Cape OF
Good Hope, communicates to tho press Of the
former city tho following amusing rcmniscencc
Of his African consular experience: "rherc Is a
very singular custom among the firmers-how
to get wife. II you desire to get married you
ahsud nost make inquiry whether the lady you
love has horse; II 81, you must ask her whether
she has horse for sale. II she says NO. then
you had better quit the house at once. She does
not like you. But ~, on the contrary, she says
yes, IL Is a good sign, but she will ask you q
very high price. II the amount named Is paid
on the spot the engagement Ia concluded as fully
rs II the marriage was consnmmated by the par
son, On my arrival at the Cape did not Know
aud was Informed by an old Dutch resident that
widow - had one to sell. followed the ad-
dress given, aud soon arrived at the door OF the
| asked her whether sue nad horse TO sell. Sue
looked at me very sharp; then asked mc whether
had some letters OF Introduction. said that
for her horse. In that case said she, letters
are not necessary l paid down the sum de-
manded; then, after taking a cup OF coffee, she
sent sent her ,I horse ,,i home by her g'oom and nd
groom asked me thousand questions. Mas

you IN town, or will you come live with usf You
will love my mistress, for she was very kind to
my old master Qaughng) Where Will the we'd
ding be 2 docking at me and laughlng.) Truly
1 thought, 'tne poor fellow has drank 100 much,
or he is an imbecile.' l felt very sorry for him.
When arrived home l found many people at my
door congratulating me, not for the horse, but
for tho acquaintance OF the widow. Truly, said
one, you have been successful 'She IL very
rich,' said another. l really did not know what
it all meant, and began 10 be very uneasy,
when, TO my very great surprise. a lady alighted
on my steps, and at once recognized the widow
She very cooly asked me when desired TO have
the ceremony OF the wed ting performed. Then,
indeed, ] fully perceived the scrape in which l
was, aud told her frankly that II was horse |
you mean 10 act thus TO q lady like me? II so
shall send back for my horse and will repay you
the money In few hours the groom was at

weeks after, however, the willow was married;
more ambitious man mad Got her horse"

In which he claims to have observed, In the case
Of all those who do more bodily than mental
labor, and In proportion as the physical exceeds
the mental exercise distinct aud positive ten
dency In the oyster, when eaton, TO produce
