The door was hardly closed behind
us when shouts slaughter were heard
from the drawing-room, and before !
his nearest relative, carries the news
to the family of the bride. They
PROSTATE themselves before the do
mestic altar, and offer up a boiled

white. During the rcpast all the re-
lations of the bride received a piece
of money, which they deposit in Il
vase filled with wine made of fer

run away to get married? we give
it up, says another, But we know
Il lot who would be glad enough to
stay at home, or jump at the chance
to walk off and get married. The
boys amt around asking them like

of them nowadays than it does to run
u steamboat. All! girls, it's your
own fault Swap off your silks and
satins for lawns and caliCoes; shut up
the piano and dive into a washtub,
throw away your fancy ncedlework
and tackle u rcdhot stove in the
kitchen. Instead of receiving Brown
the bankers son in the parlor keep
your eye skinned for Bill Burns, the
Blacksmith's son, as he goes home
from work; kiss his dirty face through
q broken pane of glass in the kitch-
en- window, and after awhile, when
he learns his trade, and you know
your business, get married, go to
housekeeping by yourselves, help
each other, live happily, raise Il fam
lily that will be an honor to your
names and n credit to themselves,
die happy, and the angels will not
turn their backs upon You up there.
