A correspondent of the London Lnncrt the
most important medical journal published in
England, relates the following curious fact
. A man in his nci iyhborh0od had three
daughters. Wishing for a son, he made a
solemn vow that, if his next child should
be girl, he would never speak to her. The
next child proved to be a son, as he wished,
but, curiously enough, he never would speak
to his father, although he lived thirty-tivc
years with him. He always talked freely
with his mother and sisters, but with no IN"
else. until sfte- the death Of his f.iher : le.:

Penn ale Friendship.

1t is a wondrous advantage to man, in
every pursuit or vocation, to secure an adviser
in sensible woman. In woman there is at
onte a subtle delicacy of tact, and plain
soundness of judgment, which are rarely
combined to an equal degree in man. A
woman, if she be really your friend, will
have sensitive regard for your character,
honor, repute. She will seldom counsel you
to 10 shabby Thing, for woman friend
always desires to be proud of you. At the
same time her constitutional timidity makes
her more cautious than your male friend
She therefore, seldom counsels you to do any
imprudenr thing. Imean pure fricndshi ps-
those in which there is no admixture of the
passions of love except in the married state
A mans best female friend is Il wife of good
sense and good heart, whom he loves, and
who loves him. If he have that, he need
not seek elsewhere. But, supposing the man
to be without such helpmatc, female friend
ship he must S i'll have, or his intellect will
be without Il garden, and there will be many
an UNDECIDED gap even in its strongest fence.
Better and safer of course, friendships where
the disparity OF years or circumstances puts
the idea Of love out Of the question. Middle
life has rarely this advantages; youth and old
age have. We have many female friendships
with those much older and those much
younger than ourselves. liolerc's old house
keeper was great help to his genius: and
Montaigue's philosophy takes both a gentlcr
and loftier character of wisdom from the
date in which he finds Marie de Gonrnay, an
adopted daughter, certainly beloved by me,
says the Horace Of essayists, with more than
paternal lOye, and involved in MY solitude
of retirement, as one of the best parts of my
being. Female friendship, indeed, is to ::
man the bulwark, swceter, ornament of his
existence. To his mental culture it is inyal-
uable; without it all his knowledge of books
will never give him knowledge OF the world.

Bridal Wreaths.

Wedding garlands or wreaths are of
remote antiquity ; they were used
among the Romans. Vaughan (l6O61
states that when the marriage dav
was come the bride was bound to have
q chaplet OF flowers o. hearbos upon
the head" Garlands at weddings
were used also by the Jews. Wreat6s
of this kind were also used among the
Anglo.Saxons. At the Termination of
the marriage ceremony in the church.
the bride and bridegroom both were
crowned with wreaths of flowers, which
were kept in the church for that our.
pose. Chaplets of flowers used in the
Eastern Church on this occasion are
said to have been blessed. At
a later period sprigs of myrtle
and ears of corn we're sometimes
used. In Henry Wills reign
the bride wore a wreath Of
c%orn.ears; sometimes of flowers.
Nicholas, in his "Churchwardens' Ao-
count Of st: Margaret's, Westminster"
gives the following entry under date
1540: "Pa,d to Alice Lewis, a gold
smiths wife of London, for a serclett
to marry maydens in, the 26th day of
September, 93 los" Field in his
Amends for ladies'" 1880, mentions
garlands being placed "upon the heads
of the maid and widow that are to be
married." Dallaway writes of the
Greek Church that "marriage is by
them (of this church) called the matri-
monial coronation, from the CROWNS of
garlands with which the parties are
decorated, and which they solemnly
dissolve on the eighth day following"

that now he would be too late. and

This would not do, however, he needed

it over, taking the watches as security.
He went off to pay his taxes. The

to the Consulate to sign papers for a
legacy, Of which "Adie " had told her
on first entering, and then departed to
divide the booty with their confeder-

Petrarch's Tomb Re-opencd.

A singular ceremony lately took place
at Arqua, in North Italy, where Pc
trarch lies buried. The tomb of the
poet was opened in the presence of the
municipal officers of the town and q
few invited spectators. It appears that
the remains had been inclosed in an
imperfectly.made coffin, and that the
bones, thus exposed to the effects of
the atmosphere, were discolored and
moist. The skull, of medium size, was
entire, the development of the forehead
being yet perceptible. Several of the
teeth wer we'll preserved, and the
bones OF the body were but little de-
cayed. From the size of the skeleton
it was easy to infer that Petrarch must
have been a large, robust man.
Permission to examine these honored
remains had been given by the authori.
ties to certain students of anthropology,
and 1T was to aid in their researches
that the. coffin was opened. These gen
tlemen took accurate measurements of
the remains, which were then carefully
placed in a new coffin. The brief ex.
posure to the air, however, had it's
effect, and the skull partially fell in,
while some of the bones were resolved
into dust before the eyes of the spec
tators of this curious exhibition of
mortalicy.
